set_irq_chained_handler overwrites MPIC's handle_irq function
(handle_fasteoi_irq) thus MPIC never gets eoi event from the
cascaded IRQ. This situation hangs MPIC on MPC8568E.
To solve this problem efficiently, QEIC needs pluggable handlers,
specific to the underlaying interrupt controller.
Patch extends qe_ic_init() function to accept low and high interrupt
handlers. To avoid #ifdefs, stack of interrupt handlers specified in
the header file and functions are marked 'static inline', thus
handlers are compiled-in only if actually used (in the board file).
Another option would be to lookup for parent controller and
automatically detect handlers (will waste text size because of
never used handlers, so this option abolished).
qe_ic_init() also changed in regard to support multiplexed high/low
lines as found in MPC8568E-MDS, plus qe_ic_cascade_muxed_mpic()
handler implemented appropriately.

This patch makes numerous miscellaneous code improvements to the QE library.
1. Remove struct ucc_common and merge ucc_init_guemr() into ucc_set_type()
(every caller of ucc_init_guemr() also calls ucc_set_type()). Modify all
callers of ucc_set_type() accordingly.
2. Remove the unused enum ucc_pram_initial_offset.
3. Refactor qe_setbrg(), also implement work-around for errata QE_General4.
4. Several printk() calls were missing the terminating \n.
5. Add __iomem where needed, and change u16 to __be16 and u32 to __be32 where
appropriate.
6. In ucc_slow_init() the RBASE and TBASE registers in the PRAM were programmed
with the wrong value.
7. Add the protocol type to struct us_info and updated ucc_slow_init() to
use it, instead of always programming QE_CR_PROTOCOL_UNSPECIFIED.
8. Rename ucc_slow_restart_x() to ucc_slow_restart_tx()
9. Add several macros in qe.h (mostly for slow UCC support, but also to
standardize some naming convention) and remove several unused macros.
10. Update ucc_geth.c to use the new macros.
11. Add ucc_slow_info.protocol to specify which QE_CR_PROTOCOL_xxx protcol
to use when initializing the UCC in ucc_slow_init().
12. Rename ucc_slow_pram.rfcr to rbmr and ucc_slow_pram.tfcr to tbmr, since
these are the real names of the registers.
13. Use the setbits, clrbits, and clrsetbits where appropriate.
14. Refactor ucc_set_qe_mux_rxtx().
15. Remove all instances of 'volatile'.
16. Simplify get_cmxucr_reg();
17. Replace qe_mux.cmxucrX with qe_mux.cmxucr[].
18. Updated struct ucc_geth because struct ucc_fast is not padded any more.

The way the current CPM binding describes available multi-user (a.k.a.
dual-ported) RAM doesn't work well when there are multiple free regions,
and it doesn't work at all if the region doesn't begin at the start of
the muram area (as the hardware needs to be programmed with offsets into
this area). The latter situation can happen with SMC UARTs on CPM2, as its
parameter RAM is relocatable, u-boot puts it at zero, and the kernel doesn't
support moving it.
It is now described with a muram node, similar to QE. The current CPM
binding is sufficiently recent (i.e. never appeared in an official release)
that compatibility with existing device trees is not an issue.
The code supporting the new binding is shared between cpm1 and cpm2, rather
than remain separated. QE should be able to use this code as well, once
minor fixes are made to its device trees.

Add CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT support to ppc64: it was useful for testing
get_paca() preemption. Cheat a little, just use debug_smp_processor_id()
in the debug version of get_paca(): it contains all the right checks and
reporting, though get_paca() doesn't really use smp_processor_id().
Use local_paca for what might have been called __raw_get_paca().
Silence harmless warnings from io.h and lparcfg.c with local_paca -
it is okay for iseries_lparcfg_data to be referencing shared_proc
with preemption enabled: all cpus should show the same value for
shared_proc.
Why do other architectures need TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT for DEBUG_PREEMPT?
I don't know, ppc64 appears to get along fine without it.

The comment being removed by this patch is incorrect and misleading.
In the following situation:
1. load ...
2. store 1 -> X
3. wmb
4. rmb
5. load a <- Y
6. store ...
4 will only ensure ordering of 1 with 5.
3 will only ensure ordering of 2 with 6.
Further, a CPU with strictly in-order stores will still only provide that
2 and 6 are ordered (effectively, it is the same as a weakly ordered CPU
with wmb after every store).
In all cases, 5 may still be executed before 2 is visible to other CPUs!
The additional piece of the puzzle that mb() provides is the store/load
ordering, which fundamentally cannot be achieved with any combination of
rmb()s and wmb()s.
This can be an unexpected result if one expected any sort of global ordering
guarantee to barriers (eg. that the barriers themselves are sequentially
consistent with other types of barriers). However sfence or lfence barriers
need only provide an ordering partial ordering of memory operations -- Consider
that wmb may be implemented as nothing more than inserting a special barrier
entry in the store queue, or, in the case of x86, it can be a noop as the store
queue is in order. And an rmb may be implemented as a directive to prevent
subsequent loads only so long as their are no previous outstanding loads (while
there could be stores still in store queues).
I can actually see the occasional load/store being reordered around lfence on
my core2. That doesn't prove my above assertions, but it does show the comment
is wrong (unless my program is -- can send it out by request).
So:
mb() and smp_mb() always have and always will require a full mfence
or lock prefixed instruction on x86. And we should remove this comment.

|

Based upon a report and initial patch by Peter Lieven.
tcp4_md5sig_key and tcp6_md5sig_key need to start with
the exact same members as tcp_md5sig_key. Because they
are both cast to that type by tcp_v{4,6}_md5_do_lookup().
Unfortunately tcp{4,6}_md5sig_key use a u16 for the key
length instead of a u8, which is what tcp_md5sig_key
uses. This just so happens to work by accident on
little-endian, but on big-endian it doesn't.
Instead of casting, just place tcp_md5sig_key as the first member of
the address-family specific structures, adjust the access sites, and
kill off the ugly casts.

This reverts commit e66485d747505e9d960b864fc6c37f8b2afafaf0, since
Rafael Wysocki noticed that the change only works for his in -mm, not in
mainline (and that both "noapictimer" _and_ "apicmaintimer" are broken
on his hardware, but that's apparently not a regression, just a symptom
of the same issue that causes the automatic apic timer disable to not
work).
It turns out that it really doesn't work correctly on x86-64, since
x86-64 doesn't use the generic clock events for timers yet.
Thanks to Rafal for testing, and here's the ugly details on x86-64 as
per Thomas:
"I just looked into the code and the logic vs. noapictimer on SMP is
completely broken.
On i386 the noapictimer option not only disables the local APIC
timer, it also registers the CPUs for broadcasting via IPI on SMP
systems.
The x86-64 code uses the broadcast only when the local apic timer is
active, i.e. "noapictimer" is not on the command line. This defeats
the whole purpose of "noapictimer". It should be there to make boxen
work, where the local APIC timer actually has a hardware problem,
e.g. the nx6325.
The current implementation of x86_64 only fixes the ACPI c-states
related problem where the APIC timer stops in C3(2), nothing else.
On nx6325 and other AMD X2 equipped systems which have the C1E
enabled we run into the following:
PIT keeps jiffies (and the system) running, but the local APIC timer
interrupts can get out of sync due to this C1E effect.
I don't think this is a critical problem, but it is wrong
nevertheless.
I think it's safe to revert the C1E patch and postpone the fix to the
clock events conversion."
On further reflection, Thomas noted:
"It's even worse than I thought on the first check:
"noapictimer" on the command line of an SMP box prevents _ONLY_ the
boot CPU apic timer from being used. But the secondary CPU is still
unconditionally setting up the APIC timer and uses the non
calibrated variable calibration_result, which is of course 0, to
setup the APIC timer. Wreckage guaranteed."
so we'll just have to wait for the x86 merge to hopefully fix this up
for x86-64.

commit 3556ddfa9284a86a59a9b78fe5894430f6ab4eef titled
[PATCH] x86-64: Disable local APIC timer use on AMD systems with C1E
solves a problem with AMD dual core laptops e.g. HP nx6325 (Turion 64
X2) with C1E enabled:
When both cores go into idle at the same time, then the system switches
into C1E state, which is basically the same as C3. This stops the local
apic timer.
This was debugged right after the dyntick merge on i386 and despite the
patch title it fixes only the 32 bit path.
x86_64 is still missing this fix. It seems that mainline is not really
affected by this issue, as the PIT is running and keeps jiffies
incrementing, but that's just waiting for trouble.
-mm suffers from this problem due to the x86_64 high resolution timer
patches.
This is a quick and dirty port of the i386 code to x86_64.
I spent quite a time with Rafael to debug the -mm / hrt wreckage until
someone pointed us to this. I really had forgotten that we debugged this
half a year ago already.
Sigh, is it just me or is there something yelling arch/x86 into my ear?

device_suspend() calls ACPI suspend functions, which seems to have undesired
side effects on lower idle C-states. It took me some time to realize that
especially the VAIO BIOSes (both Andrews jinxed UP and my elfstruck SMP one)
show this effect. I'm quite sure that other bug reports against suspend/resume
about turning the system into a brick have the same root cause.
After fishing in the dark for quite some time, I realized that removing the ACPI
processor module before suspend (this removes the lower C-state functionality)
made the problem disappear. Interestingly enough the propability of having a
bricked box is influenced by various factors (interrupts, size of the ram image,
...). Even adding a bunch of printks in the wrong places made the problem go
away. The previous periodic tick implementation simply pampered over the
problem, which explains why the dyntick / clockevents changes made this more
prominent.
We avoid complex functionality during the boot process and we have to do the
same during suspend/resume. It is a similar scenario and equaly fragile.
Add suspend / resume functions to the ACPI processor code and disable the lower
idle C-states across suspend/resume. Fall back to the default idle
implementation (halt) instead.

This simplifies signalfd code, by avoiding it to remain attached to the
sighand during its lifetime.
In this way, the signalfd remain attached to the sighand only during
poll(2) (and select and epoll) and read(2). This also allows to remove
all the custom "tsk == current" checks in kernel/signal.c, since
dequeue_signal() will only be called by "current".
I think this is also what Ben was suggesting time ago.
The external effect of this, is that a thread can extract only its own
private signals and the group ones. I think this is an acceptable
behaviour, in that those are the signals the thread would be able to
fetch w/out signalfd.
