b126d11 mfd: Keep a cache of WM8350 volatile values Due to the way that the WM8350 audio driver handles CODEC_ENA many of the WM8350 audio registers are marked as volatile when they aren't actually so. Allow the audio driver to see a cache of these values for inspection during interrupt context. To do this we need to stop satisfying any bits from volatile registers from cache - there's no real benefit from doing so anyway, we did the read already.

26a9a41 Avoid ICE in get_random_int() with gcc-3.4.5 Martin Knoblauch reports that trying to build 2.6.30-rc6-git3 with RHEL4.3 userspace (gcc (GCC) 3.4.5 20051201 (Red Hat 3.4.5-2)) causes an internal compiler error (ICE): drivers/char/random.c: In function `get_random_int': drivers/char/random.c:1672: error: unrecognizable insn: (insn 202 148 150 0 /scratch/build/linux-2.6.30-rc6-git3/arch/x86/include/asm/tsc.h:23 (set (reg:SI 0 ax [91]) (subreg:SI (plus:DI (plus:DI (reg:DI 0 ax [88]) (subreg:DI (reg:SI 6 bp) 0)) (const_int -4 [0xfffffffffffffffc])) 0)) -1 (nil) (nil)) drivers/char/random.c:1672: internal compiler error: in extract_insn, at recog.c:2083 and after some debugging it turns out that it's due to the code trying to figure out the rough value of the current stack pointer by taking an address of an uninitialized variable and casting that to an integer. This is clearly a compiler bug, but it's not worth fighting - while the current stack kernel pointer might be somewhat hard to predict in user space, it's also not generally going to change for a lot of the call chains for a particular process. So just drop it, and mumble some incoherent curses at the compiler.

7ee2cb7 nfs: Fix NFS v4 client handling of MAY_EXEC in nfs_permission. The problem is that permission checking is skipped if atomic open is possible, but when exec opens a file, it just opens it O_READONLY which means EXEC permission will not be checked at that time.

8019319 Fix oops on close of hot-unplugged FTDI serial converter Commit c45d6320 ("fix reference counting of ftdi_private") stopped ftdi_sio_port_remove() from directly freeing the port-private data, with the intention if the port was still open, it would be freed when ftdi_close() is eventually called and releases the last refcount on the structure. That's all very well, but ftdi_sio_port_remove() still contains a call to usb_set_serial_port_data(port, NULL) -- so by the time we get to ftdi_close() for the port which was unplugged, it _still_ oopses on dereferencing that NULL pointer, as it did before (and does in 2.6.29). The fix is just not to clear the private data in ftdi_sio_port_remove(). Then the refcount is properly reduced to zero when the final kref_put() happens in ftdi_close(). Remove a bogus comment too, while we're at it. And stop doing things inside "if (priv)" -- it must _always_ be there. Based loosely on an earlier patch by Daniel Mack, and suggestions by Alan Stern.

c3cf866 powerpc/ftrace: Fix constraint to be early clobber After upgrading my distcc boxes from gcc 4.2.2 to 4.4.0, the function graph tracer broke. This was discovered on my x86 boxes. The issue is that gcc used the same register for an output as it did for an input in an asm statement. I first thought this was a bug in gcc and reported it. I was notified that gcc was correct and that the output had to be flagged as an "early clobber". I noticed that powerpc had the same issue and this patch fixes it.

0f6f49a Fix caller information for warn_slowpath_null Ian Campbell noticed that since "Eliminate thousands of warnings with gcc 3.2 build" (commit 57adc4d2dbf968fdbe516359688094eef4d46581) all WARN_ON()'s currently appear to come from warn_slowpath_null(), eg: WARNING: at kernel/softirq.c:143 warn_slowpath_null+0x1c/0x20() because now that warn_slowpath_null() is in the call path, the __builtin_return_address(0) returns that, rather than the place that caused the warning. Fix this by splitting up the warn_slowpath_null/fmt cases differently, using a common helper function, and getting the return address in the right place. This also happens to avoid the unnecessary stack usage for the non-stdargs case, and just generally cleans things up. Make the function name printout use %pS while at it.

a0bf284 ACPI: Idle C-states disabled by max_cstate should not disable the TSC Processor idle power states C2 and C3 stop the TSC on many machines. Linux recognizes this situation and marks the TSC as unstable: Marking TSC unstable due to TSC halts in idle But if those same machines are booted with "processor.max_cstate=1", then there is no need to validate C2 and C3, and no need to disable the TSC, which can be reliably used as a clocksource.

b4ecc12 x86: Fix performance regression caused by paravirt_ops on native kernels Xiaohui Xin and some other folks at Intel have been looking into what's behind the performance hit of paravirt_ops when running native. It appears that the hit is entirely due to the paravirtualized spinlocks introduced by: | commit 8efcbab674de2bee45a2e4cdf97de16b8e609ac8 | Date: Mon Jul 7 12:07:51 2008 -0700 | | paravirt: introduce a "lock-byte" spinlock implementation The extra call/return in the spinlock path is somehow causing an increase in the cycles/instruction of somewhere around 2-7% (seems to vary quite a lot from test to test). The working theory is that the CPU's pipeline is getting upset about the call->call->locked-op->return->return, and seems to be failing to speculate (though I haven't seen anything definitive about the precise reasons). This doesn't entirely make sense, because the performance hit is also visible on unlock and other operations which don't involve locked instructions. But spinlock operations clearly swamp all the other pvops operations, even though I can't imagine that they're nearly as common (there's only a .05% increase in instructions executed). If I disable just the pv-spinlock calls, my tests show that pvops is identical to non-pvops performance on native (my measurements show that it is actually about .1% faster, but Xiaohui shows a .05% slowdown). Summary of results, averaging 10 runs of the "mmperf" test, using a no-pvops build as baseline: nopv Pv-nospin Pv-spin CPU cycles 100.00% 99.89% 102.18% instructions 100.00% 100.10% 100.15% CPI 100.00% 99.79% 102.03% cache ref 100.00% 100.84% 100.28% cache miss 100.00% 90.47% 88.56% cache miss rate 100.00% 89.72% 88.31% branches 100.00% 99.93% 100.04% branch miss 100.00% 103.66% 107.72% branch miss rt 100.00% 103.73% 107.67% wallclock 100.00% 99.90% 102.20% The clear effect here is that the 2% increase in CPI is directly reflected in the final wallclock time. (The other interesting effect is that the more ops are out of line calls via pvops, the lower the cache access and miss rates. Not too surprising, but it suggests that the non-pvops kernel is over-inlined. On the flipside, the branch misses go up correspondingly...) So, what's the fix? Paravirt patching turns all the pvops calls into direct calls, so _spin_lock etc do end up having direct calls. For example, the compiler generated code for paravirtualized _spin_lock is: <_spin_lock+0>: mov %gs:0xb4c8,%rax <_spin_lock+9>: incl 0xffffffffffffe044(%rax) <_spin_lock+15>: callq *0xffffffff805a5b30 <_spin_lock+22>: retq The indirect call will get patched to: <_spin_lock+0>: mov %gs:0xb4c8,%rax <_spin_lock+9>: incl 0xffffffffffffe044(%rax) <_spin_lock+15>: callq <__ticket_spin_lock> <_spin_lock+20>: nop; nop /* or whatever 2-byte nop */ <_spin_lock+22>: retq One possibility is to inline _spin_lock, etc, when building an optimised kernel (ie, when there's no spinlock/preempt instrumentation/debugging enabled). That will remove the outer call/return pair, returning the instruction stream to a single call/return, which will presumably execute the same as the non-pvops case. The downsides arel 1) it will replicate the preempt_disable/enable code at eack lock/unlock callsite; this code is fairly small, but not nothing; and 2) the spinlock definitions are already a very heavily tangled mass of #ifdefs and other preprocessor magic, and making any changes will be non-trivial. The other obvious answer is to disable pv-spinlocks. Making them a separate config option is fairly easy, and it would be trivial to enable them only when Xen is enabled (as the only non-default user). But it doesn't really address the common case of a distro build which is going to have Xen support enabled, and leaves the open question of whether the native performance cost of pv-spinlocks is worth the performance improvement on a loaded Xen system (10% saving of overall system CPU when guests block rather than spin). Still it is a reasonable short-term workaround.

2ec0ae3 ext4: Fix race in ext4_inode_info.i_cached_extent If two CPU's simultaneously call ext4_ext_get_blocks() at the same time, there is nothing protecting the i_cached_extent structure from being used and updated at the same time. This could potentially cause the wrong location on disk to be read or written to, including potentially causing the corruption of the block group descriptors and/or inode table. This bug has been in the ext4 code since almost the very beginning of ext4's development. Fortunately once the data is stored in the page cache cache, ext4_get_blocks() doesn't need to be called, so trying to replicate this problem to the point where we could identify its root cause was *extremely* difficult. Many thanks to Kevin Shanahan for working over several months to be able to reproduce this easily so we could finally nail down the cause of the corruption.

The solution is to move the intel fb sysrq over to V for video instead of G for graphics. The SMP VOYAGER code to register for the sysrq-v is not anywhere to be found in the mainline kernel, so the comments in the code were cleaned up as well. This patch also cleans up the sysrq definitions for kgdb to make it generic for the kernel debugger, such that the sysrq 'g' can be used in the future to enter a gdbstub or another kernel debugger.

ad892a6 powerpc: Fix PCI ROM access A couple of issues crept in since about 2.6.27 related to accessing PCI device ROMs on various powerpc machines. First, historically, we don't allocate the ROM resource in the resource tree. I'm not entirely certain of why, I susepct they often contained garbage on x86 but it's hard to tell. This causes the current generic code to always call pci_assign_resource() when trying to access the said ROM from sysfs, which will try to re-assign some new address regardless of what the ROM BAR was already set to at boot time. This can be a problem on hypervisor platforms like pSeries where we aren't supposed to move PCI devices around (and in fact probably can't). Second, our code that generates the PCI tree from the OF device-tree (instead of doing config space probing) which we mostly use on pseries at the moment, didn't set the (new) flag IORESOURCE_SIZEALIGN on any resource. That means that any attempt at re-assigning such a resource with pci_assign_resource() would fail due to resource_alignment() returning 0. This fixes this by doing these two things: - The code that calculates resource flags based on the OF device-node is improved to set IORESOURCE_SIZEALIGN on any valid BAR, and while at it also set IORESOURCE_READONLY for ROMs since we were lacking that too - We now allocate ROM resources as part of the resource tree. However to limit the chances of nasty conflicts due to busted firmwares, we only do it on the second pass of our two-passes allocation scheme, so that all valid and enabled BARs get precedence. This brings pSeries back the ability to access PCI ROMs via sysfs (and thus initialize various video cards from X etc...).

37cd8ed powerpc/cell: Make ptcal more reliable There have been a series of checkstops on QS21 related to ptcal being set up incorrectly. On systems that only have memory on a single node, ptcal fails when it gets a pointer to memory on the remote node. Moreover, agressive prefetching in memcpy and other functions may accidentally touch the first cache line of the page that we reserve for ptcal, which causes an ECC checkstop. We now allocate pages only from the specified node, moves the ptcal area into the middle of the allocated page to avoid potential prefetch problems and prints the address of the ptcal area to facilitate diagnostics.

31207da powerpc/mpic: Fix incorrect allocation of interrupt rev-map Before when we were setting up the irq host map for mpic we passed in just isu_size for the size of the linear map. However, for a number of mpic implementations we have no isu (thus pass in 0) and will end up with a no linear map (size = 0). This causes us to always call irq_find_mapping() from mpic_get_irq(). By moving the allocation of the host map to after we've determined the number of sources we can actually benefit from having a linear map for the non-isu users that covers all the interrupt sources.

e5fc948 powerpc: Fix oprofile sampling of marked events on POWER7 Description ----------- Change ppc64 oprofile kernel driver to use the SLOT bits (MMCRA[37:39]only on older processors where those bits are defined. Background ---------- The performance monitor unit of the 64-bit POWER processor family has the ability to collect accurate instruction-level samples when profiling on marked events (i.e., "PM_MRK_<event-name>"). In processors prior to POWER6, the MMCRA register contained "slot information" that the oprofile kernel driver used to adjust the value latched in the SIAR at the time of a PMU interrupt. But as of POWER6, these slot bits in MMCRA are no longer necessary for oprofile to use, since the SIAR itself holds the accurate sampled instruction address. With POWER6, these MMCRA slot bits were zero'ed out by hardware so oprofile's use of these slot bits was, in effect, a NOP. But with POWER7, these bits are no longer zero'ed out; however, they serve some other purpose rather than slot information. Thus, using these bits on POWER7 to adjust the SIAR value results in samples being attributed to the wrong instructions. The attached patch changes the oprofile kernel driver to ignore these slot bits on all newer processors starting with POWER6.

Commit 7eef440a545c7f812ed10b49d4a10a351df9cad6 "powerpc/pci: Cosmetic cleanups of pci-common.c" removed the conditional compilation.

425d244 drm/i915: ignore LVDS on intel graphics systems that lie about having it There are a number of small form factor desktop systems with Intel mobile graphics chips that lie and say they have an LVDS. With kernel mode-setting, this becomes a problem, and makes native resolution boot go haywire -- for example, my Dell Studio Hybrid, hooked to a 1920x1080 display claims to have a 1024x768 LVDS, and the resulting graphical boot on the 1920x1080 display uses only the top left 1024x768, and auto-configured X will end up only 1024x768 as well. With this change, graphical boot and X both do 1920x1080 as expected. Note that we're simply embracing and extending the early bail-out code in place for the Mac Mini here. The xorg intel driver uses pci subsystem device and vendor id for matching, while we're using dmi lookups here. The MSI addition is courtesy of and tested by Bill Nottingham.

802c7eb drm/i915: sanity check IER at wait_request time We might sleep here anyway so I hope an extra uncached read is ok to add. In #20896 we found that vbetool clobbers the IER. In KMS mode this is particularly bad since we don't set the interrupt regs late (in EnterVT), so we'd fail to get *any* interrupts at all after X started (since some distros have scripts that call vbetool at X startup apparently). So this patch checks IER at wait_request time, and re-enables interrupts if it's been clobbered. In a proper config this check should never be triggered. This is really a distro issue, but having a sanity check is nice, as long as it doesn't have a real performance hit.

2a8964d ext4: Clear the unwritten buffer_head flag after the extent is initialized The BH_Unwritten flag indicates that the buffer is allocated on disk but has not been written; that is, the disk was part of a persistent preallocation area. That flag should only be set when a get_blocks() function is looking up a inode's logical to physical block mapping. When ext4_get_blocks_wrap() is called with create=1, the uninitialized extent is converted into an initialized one, so the BH_Unwritten flag is no longer appropriate. Hence, we need to make sure the BH_Unwritten is not left set, since the combination of BH_Mapped and BH_Unwritten is not allowed; among other things, it will result ext4's get_block() to be called over and over again during the write_begin phase of write(2).
