commit 0181944fe647cae18d545ac1167df3d15d393701 adds a 'extended_error_logging' global variable to qla2xxx which is defined by qla4xxx too.

This reverts an earlier patch that was found to cause FPU state corruption.

2006-10-05[PATCH] x86-64: Calgary IOMMU: Fix off by one when calculating register ↵Jon Mason
space location The purpose of the code being modified is to determine the location of the calgary chip address space. This is done by a magical formula of FE0MB-8MB*OneBasedChassisNumber+1MB*(RioNodeId-ChassisBase) to find the offset where BIOS puts it. In this formula, OneBasedChassisNumber corresponds to the NUMA node, and rionodeid is always 2 or 3 depending on which chip in the system it is. The problem was that we had an off by one error that caused us to account some busses to the wrong chip and thus give them the wrong address space. Fixes RH bugzilla #203971.

2006-10-05[PATCH] x86-64: Calgary IOMMU: deobfuscate calgary_initJon Mason
calgary_init's for loop does not correspond to the actual device being checked, which makes its upperbound check for array overflow useless. Changing this to a do-while loop is the correct way of doing this. There should be no possibility of spinning forever in this loop, as pci_get_device states that it will go through all iterations, then return NULL (thus breaking the loop).

2006-10-05IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t.

If a network IRQ for this card come in the softirq handler maybe try to deliver more packets which end up in a request to the read lock of bond->curr_slave_lock -> deadlock.

2006-10-05[PATCH] ibmveth: fix int rollover panicSantiago Leon
This patch fixes a nasty bug that has been sitting there since the very first versions of the driver, but is generating a panic because we changed the number of 2K buffers for 2.6.16. The consumer_index and producer_index are u32's that get incremented on every buffer emptied and replenished respectively. We use the {producer,consumer}_index mod'ed with the size of the pool to pick out an entry in the free_map. The problem happens when the u32 rolls over and the number of the buffers in the pool is not a perfect divisor of 2^32. i.e. if the number of 2K buffers is 0x300, before the consumer_index rolls over, our index to the free map = 0xffffffff mod 0x300 = 0xff. The next time a buffer is emptied, we want the index to the free map to be 0x100, but 0x0 mod 0x300 is 0x0. This patch assigns the mod'ed result back to the consumer and producer indexes so that they never roll over. The second chunk of the patch covers the unlikely case where the consumer_index has just been reset to 0x0 and the hypervisor is not able to accept that buffer.

2006-10-05[PATCH] ibmveth: rename proc entry nameSantiago Leon
This patch changes the name of the proc file for each ibmveth adapter from the network device name to the slot number in the virtual bus. The proc file is created when the device is probed, so a change in the name of the device will not be reflected in the name of the proc file giving problems when identifying and removing the adapter. The slot number is a property that does not change through the life of the adapter so we use that instead.

2006-10-05[PATCH] ibmveth: kdump interrupt fixSantiago Leon
This patch fixes a race that panics the kernel when opening the device after a kdump. Without this patch there is a window where the hypervisor can send an interrupt before all the structures for the kdump ibmveth module are ready (because the hypervisor is not aware that the partition crashed and that the virtual driver is reloading). We close this window by disabling the interrupts before registering the adapter to the hypervisor. This patch depends on the "ibmveth: Harden driver initilisation" patch.

So if the registration fails, we unregister and then try again. We don't unconditionally unregister, because we don't want to disturb the regular code path for 99% of users.

2006-10-05[POWERPC] spufs: add infrastructure for finding elf objectsArnd Bergmann
This adds an 'object-id' file that the spe library can use to store a pointer to its ELF object. This was originally meant for use by oprofile, but is now also used by the GNU debugger, if available. In order for oprofile to find the location in an spu-elf binary where an event counter triggered, we need a way to identify the binary in the first place. Unfortunately, that binary itself can be embedded in a powerpc ELF binary. Since we can assume it is mapped into the effective address space of the running process, have that one write the pointer value into a new spufs file. When a context switch occurs, pass the user value to the profiler so that can look at the mapped file (with some care).

2006-10-05[POWERPC] spufs: support new OF device tree formatArnd Bergmann
The properties we used traditionally in the device tree are somewhat nonstandard. This adds support for a more conventional format using 'interrupts' and 'reg' properties. The interrupts are specified in three cells (class 0, 1 and 2) and registered at the interrupt-parent. The reg property contains either three or four register areas in the order 'local-store', 'problem', 'priv2', and 'priv1', so the priv1 one can be left out in case of hypervisor driven systems that access these through hcalls.

2006-10-05[POWERPC] spufs: make mailbox functions handle multiple elementsArnd Bergmann
Since libspe2 will provide a function that can read/write multiple mailbox elements at once, the kernel should handle that efficiently. read/write on the three mailbox files can now access the spe context multiple times to operate on any number of mailbox data elements. If the spu application keeps writing to its outbound mailbox, the read call will pick up all the data in a single system call. Unfortunately, if the user passes an invalid pointer, we may lose a mailbox element on read, since we can't put it back. This probably impossible to solve, if the user also accesses the mailbox through direct register access.
