b8d3f24 Petr Vandrovec 12 August 2007, 08:12:52 UTC Do not replace whole memcpy in apply alternatives apply_alternatives uses memcpy() to apply alternatives. Which has the unfortunate effect that while applying memcpy alternative to memcpy itself it tries to overwrite itself with nops - which causes #UD fault as it overwrites half of an instruction in copy loop, and from this point on only possible outcome is triplefault and reboot. So let's overwrite only first two instructions of memcpy - as long as the main memcpy loop is not in first two bytes it will work fine.

f8707ec Len Brown 12 August 2007, 04:12:54 UTC ACPI: thermal: create "thermal.act=" to disable or override active trip point thermal.act=-1 disables all active trip points in all ACPI thermal zones. thermal.act=C, where C > 0, overrides all lowest temperature active trip points in all thermal zones to C degrees Celsius. Raising this trip-point may allow you to keep your system silent up to a higher temperature. However, it will not allow you to raise the lowest temperature trip point above the next higher trip point (if there is one). Lowering this trip point may kick in the fan sooner. Note that overriding this trip-point will disable any BIOS attempts to implement hysteresis around the lowest temperature trip point. This may result in the fan starting and stopping frequently if temperature frequently crosses C. WARNING: raising trip points above the manufacturer's defaults may cause the system to run at higher temperature and shorten its life.

f548714 Len Brown 12 August 2007, 04:12:44 UTC ACPI: thermal: create "thermal.nocrt" to disable critical actions thermal.nocrt=1 disables actions on _CRT and _HOT ACPI thermal zone trip-points. They will be marked as <disabled> in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/trip_points. There are two cases where this option is used: 1. Debugging a hot system crossing valid trip point. If your system fan is spinning at full speed, be sure that the vent is not clogged with dust. Many laptops have very fine thermal fins that are easily blocked. Check that the processor fan-sink is properly seated, has the proper thermal grease, and is really spinning. Check for fan related options in BIOS SETUP. Sometimes there is a performance vs quiet option. Defaults are generally the most conservative. If your fan is not spinning, yet /proc/acpi/fan/ has files in it, please file a Linux/ACPI bug. WARNING: you risk shortening the lifetime of your hardware if you use this parameter on a hot system. Note that this refers to all system components, including the disk drive. 2. Working around a cool system crossing critical trip point due to erroneous temperature reading. Try again with CONFIG_HWMON=n There is known potential for conflict between the the hwmon sub-system and the ACPI BIOS. If this fixes it, notify lm-sensors@lm-sensors.org and linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org Otherwise, file a Linux/ACPI bug, or notify just linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org.

a70cdc5 Len Brown 12 August 2007, 04:12:35 UTC ACPI: thermal: create "thermal.psv=" to override passive trip points "thermal.psv=-1" disables passive trip points for all ACPI thermal zones. "thermal.psv=C", where 'C' is degrees Celsius, overrides all existing passive trip points for all ACPI thermal zones. thermal.psv is checked at module load time, and in response to trip-point change events. Note that if the system does not deliver thermal zone temperature change events near the new trip-point, then it will not be noticed. To force your custom trip point to be noticed, you may need to enable polling: eg. thermal.tzp=3000 invokes polling every 5 minutes. Note that once passive thermal throttling is invoked, it has its own internal Thermal Sampling Period (_TSP), that is unrelated to _TZP. WARNING: disabling or raising a thermal trip point may result in increased running temperature and shorter hardware lifetime on some systems.

730ff34 Len Brown 12 August 2007, 04:12:26 UTC ACPI: thermal: expose "thermal.tzp=" to set global polling frequency Thermal Zone Polling frequency (_TZP) is an optional ACPI object recommending the rate that the OS should poll the associated thermal zone. If _TZP is 0, no polling should be used. If _TZP is non-zero, then the platform recommends that the OS poll the thermal zone at the specified rate. The minimum period is 30 seconds. The maximum period is 5 minutes. (note _TZP and thermal.tzp units are in deci-seconds, so _TZP = 300 corresponds to 30 seconds) If _TZP is not present, ACPI 3.0b recommends that the thermal zone be polled at an "OS provided default frequency". However, common industry practice is: 1. The BIOS never specifies any _TZP 2. High volume OS's from this century never poll any thermal zones Ie. The OS depends on the platform's ability to provoke thermal events when necessary, and the "OS provided default frequency" is "never":-) There is a proposal that ACPI 4.0 be updated to reflect common industry practice -- ie. no _TZP, no polling. The Linux kernel already follows this practice -- thermal zones are not polled unless _TZP is present and non-zero. But thermal zone polling is useful as a workaround for systems which have ACPI thermal control, but have an issue preventing thermal events. Indeed, some Linux distributions still set a non-zero thermal polling frequency for this reason. But rather than ask the user to write a polling frequency into all the /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/polling_frequency files, here we simply document and expose the already existing module parameter to do the same at system level, to simplify debugging those broken platforms. Note that thermal.tzp is a module-load time parameter only. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> 12 August 2007, 04:12:26 UTC
72b33ef Len Brown 12 August 2007, 04:12:17 UTC ACPI: thermal: create "thermal.off=1" to disable ACPI thermal support "thermal.off=1" disables all ACPI thermal support at boot time. CONFIG_ACPI_THERMAL=n can do this at build time. "# rmmod thermal" can do this at run time, as long as thermal is built as a module. WARNING: On some systems, disabling ACPI thermal support will cause the system to run hotter and reduce the lifetime of the hardware.

ab144f5 Andi Kleen 10 August 2007, 20:31:03 UTC i386: Make patching more robust, fix paravirt issue Commit 19d36ccdc34f5ed444f8a6af0cbfdb6790eb1177 "x86: Fix alternatives and kprobes to remap write-protected kernel text" uses code which is being patched for patching. In particular, paravirt_ops does patching in two stages: first it calls paravirt_ops.patch, then it fills any remaining instructions with nop_out(). nop_out calls text_poke() which calls lookup_address() which calls pgd_val() (aka paravirt_ops.pgd_val): that call site is one of the places we patch. If we always do patching as one single call to text_poke(), we only need make sure we're not patching the memcpy in text_poke itself. This means the prototype to paravirt_ops.patch needs to change, to marshal the new code into a buffer rather than patching in place as it does now.

73c59af Muli Ben-Yehuda 10 August 2007, 20:01:19 UTC finish i386 and x86-64 sysdata conversion This patch finishes the i386 and x86-64 ->sysdata conversion and hopefully also fixes Riku's and Andy's observed bugs. It is based on Yinghai Lu's and Andy Whitcroft's patches (thanks!) with some changes: - introduce pci_scan_bus_with_sysdata() and use it instead of pci_scan_bus() where appropriate. pci_scan_bus_with_sysdata() will allocate the sysdata structure and then call pci_scan_bus(). - always allocate pci_sysdata dynamically. The whole point of this sysdata work is to make it easy to do root-bus specific things (e.g., support PCI domains and IOMMU's). I dislike using a default struct pci_sysdata in some places and a dynamically allocated pci_sysdata elsewhere - the potential for someone indavertantly changing the default structure is too high. - this patch only makes the minimal changes necessary, i.e., the NUMA node is always initialized to -1. Patches to do the right thing with regards to the NUMA node can build on top of this (either add a 'node' parameter to pci_scan_bus_with_sysdata() or just update the node when it becomes known). The patch was compile tested with various configurations (e.g., NUMAQ, VISWS) and run-time tested on i386 and x86-64. Unfortunately none of my machines exhibited the bugs so caveat emptor. Andy, could you please see if this fixes the NUMA issues you've seen? Riku, does this fix "pci=noacpi" on your laptop?

cd5bfea Peter Chubb 10 August 2007, 20:01:10 UTC fix compilation with gcc 4.2 gcc-4.2 is a lot more picky about its symbol handling. EXPORT_SYMBOL no longer works on symbols that are undefined or defined with static scope. For example, with CONFIG_PROFILE off, I see: kernel/profile.c:206: error: __ksymtab_profile_event_unregister causes a section type conflict kernel/profile.c:205: error: __ksymtab_profile_event_register causes a section type conflict This patch moves the EXPORTs inside the #ifdef CONFIG_PROFILE, so we only try to export symbols that are defined. Also, in kernel/kprobes.c there's an EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() for jprobes_return, which if CONFIG_JPROBES is undefined is a static inline and gives the same error. And in drivers/acpi/resources/rsxface.c, there's an ACPI_EXPORT_SYMBOPL() for a static symbol. If it's static, it's not accessible from outside the compilation unit, so should bot be exported. These three changes allow building a zx1_defconfig kernel with gcc 4.2 on IA64.

42fd552 Alan Cox 10 August 2007, 20:01:05 UTC fix serial buffer memory leak Patch c5c34d4862e18ef07c1276d233507f540fb5a532 (tty: flush flip buffer on ldisc input queue flush) introduces a race condition which can lead to memory leaks. The problem can be triggered when tcflush() is called when data are being pushed to the line discipline driver by flush_to_ldisc(). flush_to_ldisc() releases tty->buf.lock when calling the line discipline receive_buf function. At that poing tty_buffer_flush() kicks in and sets both tty->buf.head and tty->buf.tail to NULL. When flush_to_ldisc() finishes, it restores tty->buf.head but doesn't touch tty->buf.tail. This corrups the buffer queue, and the next call to tty_buffer_request_room() will allocate a new buffer and overwrite tty->buf.head. The previous buffer is then lost forever without being released. (Thanks to Laurent for the above text, for finding, disgnosing and reporting the bug) - Use tty->flags bits for the flush status. - Wait for the flag to clear again before returning - Fix the doc error noted - Fix flush of empty queue leaving stale flushpending [akpm@linux-foundation.org: cleanup] Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Acked-by: Paul Fulghum <paulkf@microgate.com> Cc: Laurent Pinchart <laurentp@cse-semaphore.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> 11 August 2007, 22:47:41 UTC

a44648b Anton Vorontsov 10 August 2007, 20:01:02 UTC spi_mpc83xx: fix prescale modulus calculation Long ago I've noticed (but didn't pay much attention) that spi_mpc83xx using PM calculations that differs from what specs describe. I.e. u8 pm = mpc83xx_spi->spibrg / (spi->max_speed_hz * 4); While specs says: "The SPI baud rate generator clock source (either system clock or system clock divided by 16, depending on DIV16 bit) is divided by 4 * ([PM] + 1), a range from 4 to 64.". Thus " - 1" is missing in the spi_mpc83xx's formula. Why nobody noticed that bug? Probably because sysclk usually less then user expects, e.g. you expect 200 MHz, but real clock is 198 MHz, and integer rounding helps when this formula is used. Suppose it's SPI in QE, SYSCLK at 198 MHz, thus SPIBRG at 99MHz, 25 MHz requested. PM = (99MHz / ( 25 MHz * 4 )), PM == 0, output SPICLK will be 24.75 MHz At lower frequencies this bug is more noticeable, though. And this bug shows itself in all its beauty if SYSCLK is equal or a bit more than you expect (200 MHz SYSCLK, 100 MHz SPIBRG): PM = (100MHz / ( 25 MHz * 4 )), PM == 1, output SPICLK will be 12.625 MHz!

Testing shows that it seems to work pretty well at 16bpp, 24bpp and 32bpp - including proper rendering of the boot logo at all levels (previously this was a bit broken even at 16bpp) and giving white against black text. Really detailed testing (eg with X11) requires support for the maple bus - which isn't (currently - next project assuming this is okay) available, but I have no reason to think this is broken.

9cd1c67 Antonino A. Daplas 10 August 2007, 20:00:47 UTC pvr2fb: Fix oops when pseudo_palette is written Reported by: Adrian McMenamin <adrianmcmenamin@gmail.com> This driver will oops when the pseudo_palette[] is written as u32 but not when written as u16. When written as u32, it corrupts the adjacent 'mmio_base' field of struct pvr2fb_par. Fix by using framebuffer_alloc()/release() to allocate struct fb_info and struct pvr2fb_par, and create the pseudo_palette[] as part of struct pvr2fb_par.

04a3f95 Helge Deller 10 August 2007, 20:00:45 UTC stifb: detect cards in double buffer mode more reliably Visualize-EG, Graffiti and A4450A graphics cards on PARISC can be configured in double-buffer and standard mode, but the stifb driver supports standard mode only. This patch detects double-buffered cards more reliable. It is a real bugfix for a very nasty problem for all parisc users which have wrongly configured their graphic card. The problem: The stifb graphics driver will not detect that the card is wrongly configured and then nevertheless just enables the graphics mode, which it shouldn't. In the end, the user will see no further updates / boot messages on the screen. We had documented this problem already on our FAQ (http://parisc-linux.org/faq/index.html#viseg "Why do I get corrupted graphics with my Vis-EG/Graffiti/A4450A card?") but people still run into this problem. So having this fix in as early as possible can help us.

b291aa7 Robin Holt 10 August 2007, 20:00:43 UTC x86_64: fix HPET init race I have had four seperate system lockups attributable to this exact problem in two days of testing. Instead of trying to handle all the weird end cases and wrap, how about changing it to look for exactly what we appear to want. The following patch removes a couple races in setup_APIC_timer. One occurs when the HPET advances the COUNTER past the T0_CMP value between the time the T0_CMP was originally read and when COUNTER is read. This results in a delay waiting for the counter to wrap. The other results from the counter wrapping. This change takes a snapshot of T0_CMP at the beginning of the loop and simply loops until T0_CMP has changed (a tick has happened). <later> I have one small concern about the patch. I am not sure it meets the intent as well as it should. I think we are trying to match APIC timer interrupts up with the hpet counter increment. The event which appears to be disturbing this loop in our test environment is the NMI watchdog. What we believe has been happening with the existing code is the setup_APIC_timer loop has read the CMP value, and the NMI watchdog code fires for the first time. This results in a series of icache miss slowdowns and by the time we get back to things it has wrapped. I think this code is trying to get the CMP as close to the counter value as possible. If that is the intent, maybe we should really be testing against a "window" around the CMP. Something like COUNTER = CMP+/2. It appears COUNTER should get advanced every 89nSec (IIRC). The above seems like an unreasonably small window, but may be necessary. Without documentation, I am not sure of the original intent with this code. In summary, this code fixes my boot hangs, but since I am not certain of the intent of the existing code, I am not certain this has not introduced new bugs or unexpected behaviors.
