Commit 46d026ac ("powerpc/85xx: consolidate of_platform_bus_probe calls")
replaced platform-specific of_device_id tables with a single function
that probes the most of the busses in 85xx device trees. If a specific
platform needed additional busses probed, then it could call
of_platform_bus_probe() again. Typically, the additional platform-specific
busses are children of existing busses that have already been probed.
of_platform_bus_probe() does not handle those child busses automatically.
Unfortunately, this doesn't actually work. The second (platform-specific)
call to of_platform_bus_probe() never finds any of the busses it's asked
to find.
To remedy this, the platform-specific of_device_id tables are eliminated,
and their entries are merged into mpc85xx_common_ids[], so that all busses
are probed at once.

While reviewing the sysctl code in ax25 I spotted races in ax25_exit
where it is possible to receive notifications and packets after already
freeing up some of the data structures needed to process those
notifications and updates.
Call unregister_netdevice_notifier early so that the rest of the cleanup
code does not need to deal with network devices. This takes advantage
of my recent enhancement to unregister_netdevice_notifier to send
unregister notifications of all network devices that are current
registered.
Move the unregistration for packet types, socket types and protocol
types before we cleanup any of the ax25 data structures to remove the
possibilities of other races.

During resume, tick_resume_broadcast() programs the broadcast timer in
oneshot mode unconditionally. On the platforms where broadcast timer
is not really required, this will generate spurious broadcast timer
ticks upon resume. For example, on the always running apic timer
platforms with HPET, I see spurious hpet tick once every ~5minutes
(which is the 32-bit hpet counter wraparound time).
Similar to boot time, during resume make the oneshot mode setting of
the broadcast clock event device conditional on the state of active
broadcast users.

Santosh found another trap when we avoid to initialize the broadcast
device in the switch_to_oneshot code. The broadcast device might be
still in SHUTDOWN state when we actually need to use it. That
obviously breaks, as set_next_event() is called on a shutdown
device. This did not break on x86, but Suresh analyzed it:
From the review, most likely on Sven's system we are force enabling
the hpet using the pci quirk's method very late. And in this case,
hpet_clockevent (which will be global_clock_event) handler can be
null, specifically as this platform might not be using deeper c-states
and using the reliable APIC timer.
Prior to commit 'fa4da365bc7772c', that handler will be set to
'tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast' when we switch the broadcast timer to
oneshot mode, even though we don't use it. Post commit
'fa4da365bc7772c', we stopped switching the broadcast mode to oneshot
as this is not really needed and his platform's global_clock_event's
handler will remain null. While on my SNB laptop, same is set to
'clockevents_handle_noop' because hpet gets enabled very early. (noop
handler on my platform set when the early enabled hpet timer gets
replaced by the lapic timer).
But the commit 'fa4da365bc7772c' tracked the broadcast timer mode in
the SW as oneshot, even though it didn't touch the HW timer. During
resume however, tick_resume_broadcast() saw the SW broadcast mode as
oneshot and actually programmed the broadcast device also into oneshot
mode. So this triggered the null pointer de-reference after the hpet
wraps around and depending on what the hpet counter is set to. On the
normal platforms where hpet gets enabled early we should be seeing a
spurious interrupt (in my SNB laptop I see one spurious interrupt
after around 5 minutes ;) which is 32-bit hpet counter wraparound
time), but that's a separate issue.
Enforce the mode setting when trying to set an event.

The MC77xx devices can operate in two modes: "Direct IP" or "QMI",
switchable using a password protected AT command. Both product ID
and USB interface configuration will change when switched.
The "sierra_net" driver supports the "Direct IP" mode. This driver
supports the "QMI" mode.
There are also multiple possible USB interface configurations in each
mode, some providing more than one wwan interface. Like many other
devices made for Windows, different interface types are identified
using a static interface number. We define a Sierra specific
interface whitelist to support this.

The sp_pri_to_cos[] array size depends on the config but lets say it is
BX_E3B0_MAX_NUM_COS_PORT0 and max_num_of_cos is also
DCBX_E3B0_MAX_NUM_COS_PORT0. In the original code
"pri == max_num_of_cos" was accepted but it is one past the end of the
array.
Also we used "pri" before capping it. It's a harmless read past the end
of the array, but it would affect which error message gets printed.

A rather annoying and common case is when booting a PVonHVM guest
and exposing the PV KBD and PV VFB - as broken toolstacks don't
always initialize the backends correctly.
Normally The HVM guest is using the VGA driver and the emulated
keyboard for this (though upstream version of QEMU implements
PV KBD, but still uses a VGA driver). We provide a very basic
two-stage wait mechanism - where we wait for 30 seconds for all
devices, and then for 270 for all them except the two mentioned.
That allows us to wait for the essential devices, like network
or disk for the full 6 minutes.
To trigger this, put this in your guest config:
vfb = [ 'vnc=1, vnclisten=0.0.0.0 ,vncunused=1']
instead of this:
vnc=1
vnclisten="0.0.0.0"

If the L3 disable slot is already in use, return -EEXIST instead of
-EINVAL. The caller, store_cache_disable(), checks this return value to
print an appropriate warning.
Also, we want to signal with -EEXIST that the current index we're
disabling has actually been already disabled on the node:
$ echo 12 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/cache/index3/cache_disable_0
$ echo 12 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/cache/index3/cache_disable_0
-bash: echo: write error: File exists
$ echo 12 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/cache/index3/cache_disable_1
-bash: echo: write error: File exists
$ echo 12 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu5/cache/index3/cache_disable_1
-bash: echo: write error: File exists
The old code would say
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
for disable slot 1 when playing the example above with no output in
dmesg, which is clearly misleading.

Merge fixes for Thinkpad docking-station regressions for 3.3 kernels
back to 3.4. These were committed in that branch to make the stable
merging easier.
Conflicts:
sound/pci/hda/patch_conexant.c
|
|
ThinkPad 410,420,510,520 and X201 with cx50585 & co chips have the
docking-station ports, but BIOS doesn't initialize for these pins.
Thus, like the former X200, we need to set up the pins manually in the
driver.
The odd part is that the same PCI SSID is used for X200 and T400, thus
we need to prepare individual fixup tables for cx5051 and others.

The problem is caused by the interaction of two features in the Linux
memory management code.
A processes address space is described by a struct mm_struct, and
every thread has a pointer to the mm it should run in. The exception
to this are kernel threads, which don't have an mm, and so borrow
the mm from the last thread which ran. The system is bootstrapped
by the initial kernel thread using init's mm (even though init hasn't
been created yet, its mm is the static init_mm).
The other feature is how the kernel handles the page table which
describes the portion of the address space which is only visible when
executing inside the kernel, and which is shared by all threads. On
the SH4 the only portion of the kernel's address space which described
using the page table is called P3, from 0xc0000000 to 0xdfffffff. This
portion of the address space is divided into three:
- mappings for dma_alloc_coherent()
- mappings for vmalloc() and ioremap()
- fixmap mappings, primarily used in copy_user_pages() to create
kernel mappings of user pages with the correct cache colour.
To optimise the TLB miss handler we don't want to add an additional
condition which checks whether the faulting address is in the user or
the kernel portion of the address space, and so all page tables have a
common portion which describes the kernel part of the address
space. As the SH4 uses a two level page table, only the kernel portion
of first level page table (the pgd entries) is duplicated. These all
point to the same second level entries (the pte's), and so no memory
is wasted.
The reference page table for the kernel is called the swapper_pg_dir,
and when a new page table is created for a new process the kernel
portion of the page table is copied from swapper_pg_dir. This works
fine when changes only occur in the second level of the kernel's page
table, or the first level entries are created before any new user
processes. However if a change occurs to the first level of the page
table, and there are existing processes which don't have this entry in
their page table, this new entry needs to be added. This is done on
demand, when the kernel accesses a P3 address which isn't mapped using
the current page table, the code in vmalloc_fault() copies the entry
from the reference page table (swapper_pg_dir) into the current
processes page table.
The bug which this patch addresses is that the code in vmalloc_fault()
was not copying addresses which fell in the dma_alloc_coherent()
portion of the address space, and it should have been copying any P3
address.
Why we hadn't seen this before, and what made this hard to reproduce,
is that normally the kernel will have called dma_alloc_coherent(), and
accessed the memory mapping created, before any user process
runs. Typically drivers such as USB or SATA will have created and used
mappings of this type during the kernel initialisation, when probing
for the attached devices, before init runs. Ethernet is slightly
different, as it normally only creates and accesses
dma_alloc_coherent() mappings when the network is brought up, but if
kernel level IP configuration is used this will also occur before any
user space process runs. So the first reproduction of this problem
which we saw was occurred when USB and SATA were removed from the
kernel, and then bring up Ethernet from user space using ifconfig.
I'd like to thank Joseph Bormolini who did the hard work reducing the
problem to this simple to reproduce criteria.
In your case the situation is slightly different, and turns out to
depends on the exact kernel configuration (which we had) and your
ramdisk contents (which we didn't - hence the need for some assumptions).
In this case the problem is a side effect of kernel level module
loading. Kernel subsystems sometimes trigger the load of kernel
modules directly, for example the crypto subsystem tries to load the
cryptomgr and MTD tries to load modules for Flash partitioning if
these are not built into the kernel. This is done by the kernel
creating a user process which runs insmod to try and load the
appropriate module.
In order for this to cause problems the system must be running with a
initrd or initramfs, which contains an insmod executable - if the
kernel can't find an insmod to run, no user process is created, and
the problem doesn't occur. If an insmod is found, a process is
created to run it, which will inherit the kernel portion of the
swapper_pg_dir first level page table. It doesn't matter whether the
inmod is successful or not, but when the the kernel scheduler context
switches back to the kernel initialisation thread, the insmod's mm is
'borrowed' by the kernel thread, as it doesn't have an address space
of its own. (Reference counting is used to ensure this mm is not
destroyed, even though the user process which caused its creation may no
longer exist.) If this address space doesn't have a first level page
table entry for the consistent mappings, and a driver tries to access
such a mapping, we are in the same situation as described above,
except this time in a kernel thread rather than a user thread
executing inside the kernel.

My 9ce70c0240d0 "memcg: fix deadlock by inverting lrucare nesting" put a
nasty little bug into v3.3's version of mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache(),
sometimes used for FUSE. Replacing __mem_cgroup_commit_charge_lrucare()
by __mem_cgroup_commit_charge(), I used the "pc" pointer set up earlier:
but it's for oldpage, and needs now to be for newpage. Once oldpage was
freed, its PageCgroupUsed bit (cleared above but set again here) caused
"Bad page state" messages - and perhaps worse, being missed from newpage.
(I didn't find this by using FUSE, but in reusing the function for tmpfs.)

Through the transition to the auto-parser, the support for
Quanta/Gericom KN1 got broken. There are two problems behind it:
- This machine doesn't like the default COEF setup for ALC260 we take
now as default
- BIOS doesn't set the pins correctly at all; especially the machine
uses only the pin 0x0f for both headphone and speaker
This patch adds the fixup as a workaround for these issues.

Here is another fixes series for AT91 designed for 3.4-rc.
We experienced some issues while compiling some drivers as modules: Joachim has
corrected several of them. We may reduce this number of exported values by
reworking some drivers, in the future.
Some drivers are also modified here, I would like to keep them in the series
as the modifications are really related with our recent move to irqdomains or
simply related with compiler annotations.
I keep dmaengine Kconfig modification in this "fixes" series. The DMA
driver will not be available for 9x5 SoC family otherwise.
