2008-04-17[S390] hw_random: allow rng_dev_read() to return hardware errors.Ralph Wuerthner
The api for hardware random number generators is currently limited to devices that never fail. If the hardware is registered as a source for random numbers it has to work. This prevents the use of i/o based random number devices where the i/o might fail. Add a check for errors after the read from a hardware random number device. This patch is required to support large random numbers retrieved from the CEX2C cards on System z.

2008-04-06fix IS_I9XX macro in i915 DRM driverJesse Barnes
Now that we're mapping registers in the DRM driver at load time, the driver actually checks the PCI ID, so we need to make sure the macros have all the right bits (and longer term use the DRM headers as the sole copy of the PCI & register definitions). This patch adds 945GME support to the DRM headers, fixing a regression reported in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10395.

Update documentation for the hw_random support to be current: - Documentation/hw_random.txt has been updated to reflect the current code: it's a framework now, a "core" with a small sysfs interface, that hardware-specific drivers plug in to. Text specific to Intel hardware is now at the end. - Kconfig now references the Documentation/hw_random.txt file and better explains what this really does. Both chunks of documentation now higlight the fact that the kernel entropy pool is maintained by "rngd", and this driver has nothing directly to do with that important task.

2008-03-17drm: Fix race that can lockup the kernelMike Isely
The i915_vblank_swap() function schedules an automatic buffer swap upon receipt of the vertical sync interrupt. Such an operation is lengthy so it can't be allowed to happen in normal interrupt context, thus the DRM implements this by scheduling the work in a kernel softirq-scheduled tasklet. In order for the buffer swap to work safely, the DRM's central lock must be taken, via a call to drm_lock_take() located in drivers/char/drm/drm_irq.c within the function drm_locked_tasklet_func(). The lock-taking logic uses a non-interrupt-blocking spinlock to implement the manipulations needed to take the lock. This semantic would be safe if all attempts to use the spinlock only happen from process context. However this buffer swap happens from softirq context which is really a form of interrupt context. Thus we have an unsafe situation, in that drm_locked_tasklet_func() can block on a spinlock already taken by a thread in process context which will never get scheduled again because of the blocked softirq tasklet. This wedges the kernel hard. To trigger this bug, run a dual-head cloned mode configuration which uses the i915 drm, then execute an opengl application which synchronizes buffer swaps against the vertical sync interrupt. In my testing, a lockup always results after running anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour and a half. I believe dual-head is needed to really trigger the problem because then the vertical sync interrupt handling is no longer predictable (due to being interrupt-sourced from two different heads running at different speeds). This raises the probability of the tasklet trying to run while the userspace DRI is doing things to the GPU (and manipulating the DRM lock). The fix is to change the relevant spinlock semantics to be the interrupt-blocking form. After this change I am no longer able to trigger the lockup; the longest test run so far was 20 hours (test stopped after that point). Note: I have examined the places where this spinlock is being employed; all are reasonably short bounded sequences and should be suitable for interrupts being blocked without impacting overall kernel interrupt response latency.
