5769907 sparc64: Fix PCI resource mapping on sparc64 There is a problem discovered in recent versions of ATI Mach64 driver in X.org on sparc64 architecture. In short, the driver fails to mmap MMIO aperture (PCI resource #2). I've found that kernel's __pci_mmap_make_offset() returns EINVAL. It checks whether user attempts to mmap more than the resource length, which is 0x1000 bytes in our case. But PAGE_SIZE on SPARC64 is 0x2000 and this is what actually is being mmaped. So __pci_mmap_make_offset() failed for this PCI resource. Signed-off-by: Max Dmitrichenko <dmitrmax@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> 02 November 2008, 07:34:10 UTC

1f98757 x86: Clean up late e820 resource allocation This makes the late e820 resources use 'insert_resource_expand_to_fit()' instead of doing a 'reserve_region_with_split()', and also avoids marking them as IORESOURCE_BUSY. This results in us being perfectly happy to use pre-existing PCI resources even if they were marked as being in a reserved region, while still avoiding any _new_ allocations in the reserved regions. It also makes for a simpler and more accurate resource tree. Example resource allocation from Jonathan Corbet, who has firmware that has an e820 reserved entry that covered a big range (e0000000-fed003ff), and that had various PCI resources in it set up by firmware. With old kernels, the reserved range would force us to re-allocate all pre-existing PCI resources, and his reserved range would end up looking like this: e0000000-fed003ff : reserved fec00000-fec00fff : IOAPIC 0 fed00000-fed003ff : HPET 0 where only the pre-allocated special regions (IOAPIC and HPET) were kept around. With 2.6.28-rc2, which uses 'reserve_region_with_split()', Jonathan's resource tree looked like this: e0000000-fe7fffff : reserved fe800000-fe8fffff : PCI Bus 0000:01 fe800000-fe8fffff : reserved fe900000-fe9d9aff : reserved fe9d9b00-fe9d9bff : 0000:00:1f.3 fe9d9b00-fe9d9bff : reserved fe9d9c00-fe9d9fff : 0000:00:1a.7 fe9d9c00-fe9d9fff : reserved fe9da000-fe9dafff : 0000:00:03.3 fe9da000-fe9dafff : reserved fe9db000-fe9dbfff : 0000:00:19.0 fe9db000-fe9dbfff : reserved fe9dc000-fe9dffff : 0000:00:1b.0 fe9dc000-fe9dffff : reserved fe9e0000-fe9fffff : 0000:00:19.0 fe9e0000-fe9fffff : reserved fea00000-fea7ffff : 0000:00:02.0 fea00000-fea7ffff : reserved fea80000-feafffff : 0000:00:02.1 fea80000-feafffff : reserved feb00000-febfffff : 0000:00:02.0 feb00000-febfffff : reserved fec00000-fed003ff : reserved fec00000-fec00fff : IOAPIC 0 fed00000-fed003ff : HPET 0 and because the reserved entry had been split and moved into the individual resources, and because it used the IORESOURCE_BUSY flag, the drivers that actually wanted to _use_ those resources couldn't actually attach to them: e1000e 0000:00:19.0: BAR 0: can't reserve mem region [0xfe9e0000-0xfe9fffff] HDA Intel 0000:00:1b.0: BAR 0: can't reserve mem region [0xfe9dc000-0xfe9dffff] with this patch, the resource tree instead becomes e0000000-fed003ff : reserved fe800000-fe8fffff : PCI Bus 0000:01 fe9d9b00-fe9d9bff : 0000:00:1f.3 fe9d9c00-fe9d9fff : 0000:00:1a.7 fe9d9c00-fe9d9fff : ehci_hcd fe9da000-fe9dafff : 0000:00:03.3 fe9db000-fe9dbfff : 0000:00:19.0 fe9db000-fe9dbfff : e1000e fe9dc000-fe9dffff : 0000:00:1b.0 fe9dc000-fe9dffff : ICH HD audio fe9e0000-fe9fffff : 0000:00:19.0 fe9e0000-fe9fffff : e1000e fea00000-fea7ffff : 0000:00:02.0 fea80000-feafffff : 0000:00:02.1 feb00000-febfffff : 0000:00:02.0 fec00000-fec00fff : IOAPIC 0 fed00000-fed003ff : HPET 0 ie the one reserved region now ends up surrounding all the PCI resources that were allocated inside of it by firmware, and because it is not marked BUSY, drivers have no problem attaching to the pre-allocated resources.

233e70f saner FASYNC handling on file close As it is, all instances of ->release() for files that have ->fasync() need to remember to evict file from fasync lists; forgetting that creates a hole and we actually have a bunch that *does* forget. So let's keep our lives simple - let __fput() check FASYNC in file->f_flags and call ->fasync() there if it's been set. And lose that crap in ->release() instances - leaving it there is still valid, but we don't have to bother anymore.

3318a38 file caps: always start with clear bprm->caps_* While Linux doesn't honor setuid on scripts. However, it mistakenly behaves differently for file capabilities. This patch fixes that behavior by making sure that get_file_caps() begins with empty bprm->caps_*. That way when a script is loaded, its bprm->caps_* may be filled when binfmt_misc calls prepare_binprm(), but they will be cleared again when binfmt_elf calls prepare_binprm() next to read the interpreter's file capabilities.

c5ec6fb [CRIS] Remove links from CRIS build Remove the links to architecture and machine dependent directories (boot, lib, drivers, arch, mach) The links were created and used mostly from the arch/cris/Makefile, so why not dispense with them altogether? Changed $(ARCH) to "cris" in Makefile, it is easier to read this way. The CRISv32 head.S common files for the kernel and compressed images needed to be modified to use ifdefs instead of using the now removed mach link. Since there are only two versions, this is not a huge loss in readability. The link to vmlinux.lds.S is also replaced with a merged version which uses ifdefs to select the correct layout.

a432226 xfrm: do not leak ESRCH to user space I noticed that, under certain conditions, ESRCH can be leaked from the xfrm layer to user space through sys_connect. In particular, this seems to happen reliably when the kernel fails to resolve a template either because the AF_KEY receive buffer being used by racoon is full or because the SA entry we are trying to use is in XFRM_STATE_EXPIRED state. However, since this could be a transient issue it could be argued that EAGAIN would be more appropriate. Besides this error code is not even documented in the man page for sys_connect (as of man-pages 3.07). Signed-off-by: Fernando Luis Vazquez Cao <fernando@oss.ntt.co.jp> Signed-off-by: David S.

b9d5b89 sata_via: fix support for 5287 5287 used to be treated as vt6420 but it didn't work. It's new family of controllers called vt8251 which hosts four SATA ports as M/S of the two ATA ports. This configuration is rather peculiar in that although the M/S devices are on the same port, each have its own SCR (or equivalent link status/control) registers which screws up the port-link-device hierarchy assumed by libata. Another controller which falls into this category is ata_piix w/ SIDPR access. libata now has facility to deal with this class of controllers named slave_link. A low level driver for such controllers can just call ata_slave_link_init() on the respective ports and libata will handle all the difficult parts like following up with single SRST after hardresetting both ports. This patch creates new controller class vt8251, implements slave_link aware init sequence and config space based SCR access for it and moves 5287 to the new class. This patch is based on Joseph Chan's larger patch which was created before slave_link was implemented in libata. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.commits.mm/40640 Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Joseph Chan <JosephChan@via.com.tw> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com> 31 October 2008, 05:43:28 UTC

However, if hob_lbal is 128 or more, then it is treated as a negative signed value and sign-extended when promoted to u64 to | into sectors, which leads to the MSB 32 bits of section getting set incorrectly.

We add a flag to the mpic_init to distinquish these variants of MPIC. We pull in the irq_choose_cpu from sparc64 to select a single CPU as the destination of the interrupt. This is to deal with the fact that the default smp affinity was changed by commit 18404756765c713a0be4eb1082920c04822ce588 ("genirq: Expose default irq affinity mask (take 3)") to be all CPUs.

f9226d5 powerpc: Update remaining dma_mapping_ops to use map/unmap_page After the merge of the 32 and 64bit DMA code, dma_direct_ops lost their map/unmap_single() functions but gained map/unmap_page(). This caused a problem for Cell because Cell's dma_iommu_fixed_ops called the dma_direct_ops if the fixed linear mapping was to be used or the iommu ops if the dynamic window was to be used. So in order to fix this problem we need to update the 64bit DMA code to use map/unmap_page. First, we update the generic IOMMU code so that iommu_map_single() becomes iommu_map_page() and iommu_unmap_single() becomes iommu_unmap_page(). Then we propagate these changes up through all the callers of these two functions and in the process update all the dma_mapping_ops so that they have map/unmap_page rahter than map/unmap_single. We can do this because on 64bit there is no HIGHMEM memory so map/unmap_page ends up performing exactly the same function as map/unmap_single, just taking different arguments. This has no affect on drivers because the dma_map_single_attrs() just ends up calling the map_page() function of the appropriate dma_mapping_ops and similarly the dma_unmap_single_attrs() calls unmap_page(). This fixes an oops on Cell blades, which oops on boot without this because they call dma_direct_ops.map_single, which is NULL.

Not having these resources allocated causes an oops when removing the PHB when we try to release them. The diff appears a bit messy, this is mainly due to moving everything one tab to the left in the pcibios_allocate_bus_resources routine.

A program using the sys_swapcontext system call and supplying smaller ucontext_t structures will currently get an EINVAL error if the task has used VSX (e.g. because of calling library code that uses VSX) and the old_ctx argument is non-NULL (i.e. the program is asking for its current context to be saved). Thus the program will start getting EINVAL errors on calls that previously worked. This commit changes this behaviour so that we don't send an EINVAL in this case. It will now return the smaller context but the VSX MSR bit will always be cleared to indicate that the ucontext_t doesn't include the extra VSX state, even if the task has executed VSX instructions. Both 32 and 64 bit cases are updated. [paulus@samba.org - also fix some access_ok() and get_user() calls] Thanks to Ben Herrenschmidt for noticing this problem.

2a4b9c5 powerpc: Work around ld bug in older binutils Commit 549e8152de8039506f69c677a4546e5427aa6ae7 ("powerpc: Make the 64-bit kernel as a position-independent executable") added lines to vmlinux.lds.S to add the extra sections needed to implement a relocatable kernel. However, those lines seem to trigger a bug in older versions of GNU ld (such as 2.16.1) when building a non-relocatable kernel. Since ld 2.16.1 is still a popular choice for cross-toolchains, this adds an #ifdef to vmlinux.lds.S so the added lines are only included when building a relocatable kernel.

8b8b0cc powerpc/ppc64/kdump: Better flag for running relocatable The __kdump_flag ABI is overly constraining for future development. As of 2.6.27, the kernel entry point has 4 constraints: Offset 0 is the starting point for the master (boot) cpu (entered with r3 pointing to the device tree structure), offset 0x60 is code for the slave cpus (entered with r3 set to their device tree physical id), offset 0x20 is used by the iseries hypervisor, and secondary cpus must be well behaved when the first 256 bytes are copied to address 0. Placing the __kdump_flag at 0x18 is bad because: - It was taking the last 8 bytes before the iseries hypervisor data. - It was 8 bytes for a boolean flag - It had no way of identifying that the flag was present - It does leave any room for the master to add any additional code before branching, which hurts debug. - It will be unnecessarily hard for 32 bit code to be common (8 bytes) Now that we have eliminated the use of __kdump_flag in favor of the standard is_kdump_kernel(), this flag only controls run without relocating the kernel to PHYSICAL_START (0), so rename it __run_at_load. Move the flag to 0x5c, 1 word before the secondary cpu entry point at 0x60. Initialize it with "run0" to say it will run at 0 unless it is set to 1. It only exists if we are relocatable.

1767c8f powerpc: Kexec exit should not use magic numbers Commit 54622f10a6aabb8bb2bdacf3dd070046f03dc246 ("powerpc: Support for relocatable kdump kernel") added a magic flag value in a register to tell purgatory that it should be a panic kernel. This part is wrong and is reverted by this commit. The kernel gets a list of memory blocks and a entry point from user space. Its job is to copy the blocks into place and then branch to the designated entry point (after turning "off" the mmu). The user space tool inserts a trampoline, called purgatory, that runs before the user supplied code. Its job is to establish the entry environment for the new kernel or other application based on the contents of memory. The purgatory code is compiled and embedded in the tool, where it is later patched using the elf symbol table using elf symbols. Since the tool knows it is creating a purgatory that will run after a kernel crash, it should just patch purgatory (or the kernel directly) if something needs to happen.

bdb59f9 gianfar: Don't reset TBI<->SerDes link if it's already up The link may be up already via the chip's reset strapping, or though action of U-Boot, or from the last time the interface was brought up. Resetting the link causes it to go down for several seconds. This can significantly increase the time from power-on to DHCP completion and a device being accessible to the network.

c132419 gianfar: Fix race in TBI/SerDes configuration The init_phy() function attaches to the PHY, then configures the SerDes<->TBI link (in SGMII mode). The TBI is on the MDIO bus with the PHY (sort of) and is accessed via the gianfar's MDIO registers, using the functions gfar_local_mdio_read/write(), which don't do any locking. The previously attached PHY will start a work-queue on a timer, and probably an irq handler as well, which will talk to the PHY and thus use the MDIO bus. This uses phy_read/write(), which have locking, but not against the gfar_local_mdio versions. The result is that PHY code will try to use the MDIO bus at the same time as the SerDes setup code, corrupting the transfers. Setting up the SerDes before attaching to the PHY will insure that there is no race between the SerDes code and *our* PHY, but doesn't fix everything. Typically the PHYs for all gianfar devices are on the same MDIO bus, which is associated with the first gianfar device. This means that the first gianfar's SerDes code could corrupt the MDIO transfers for a different gianfar's PHY. The lock used by phy_read/write() is contained in the mii_bus structure, which is pointed to by the PHY. This is difficult to access from the gianfar drivers, as there is no link between a gianfar device and the mii_bus which shares the same MDIO registers. As far as the device layer and drivers are concerned they are two unrelated devices (which happen to share registers). Generally all gianfar devices' PHYs will be on the bus associated with the first gianfar. But this might not be the case, so simply locking the gianfar's PHY's mii bus might not lock the mii bus that the SerDes setup code is going to use. We solve this by having the code that creates the gianfar platform device look in the device tree for an mdio device that shares the gianfar's registers. If one is found the ID of its platform device is saved in the gianfar's platform data. A new function in the gianfar mii code, gfar_get_miibus(), can use the bus ID to search through the platform devices for a gianfar_mdio device with the right ID. The platform device's driver data is the mii_bus structure, which the SerDes setup code can use to lock the current bus.

ce39a80 bonding: fix panic when taking bond interface down before removing module A panic was discovered with bonding when using mode 5 or 6 and trying to remove the slaves from the bond after the interface was taken down. When calling 'ifconfig bond0 down' the following happens: bond_close() bond_alb_deinitialize() tlb_deinitialize() kfree(bond_info->tx_hashtbl) bond_info->tx_hashtbl = NULL Unfortunately if there are still slaves in the bond, when removing the module the following happens: bonding_exit() bond_free_all() bond_release_all() bond_alb_deinit_slave() tlb_clear_slave() tx_hash_table = BOND_ALB_INFO(bond).tx_hashtbl u32 next_index = tx_hash_table[index].next As you might guess we panic when trying to access a few entries into the table that no longer exists. I experimented with several options (like moving the calls to tlb_deinitialize somewhere else), but it really makes the most sense to be part of the bond_close routine. It also didn't seem logical move tlb_clear_slave around too much, so the simplest option seems to add a check in tlb_clear_slave to make sure we haven't already wiped the tx_hashtbl away before searching for all the non-existent hash-table entries that used to point to the slave as the output interface.
