Pull DMA-mapping updates from Marek Szyprowski:
"Those patches are continuation of my earlier work.
They contains extensions to DMA-mapping framework to remove limitation
of the current ARM implementation (like limited total size of DMA
coherent/write combine buffers), improve performance of buffer sharing
between devices (attributes to skip cpu cache operations or creation
of additional kernel mapping for some specific use cases) as well as
some unification of the common code for dma_mmap_attrs() and
dma_mmap_coherent() functions. All extensions have been implemented
and tested for ARM architecture."

Commit 9adc5374 ('common: dma-mapping: introduce mmap method') added a
generic method for implementing mmap user call to dma_map_ops structure.
This patch converts ARM and PowerPC architectures (the only providers of
dma_mmap_coherent/dma_mmap_writecombine calls) to use this generic
dma_map_ops based call and adds a generic cross architecture
definition for dma_mmap_attrs, dma_mmap_coherent, dma_mmap_writecombine
functions.
The generic mmap virt_to_page-based fallback implementation is provided for
architectures which don't provide their own implementation for mmap method.

As Colin Cross ported my x86 change to ARM, he also pointed out that
powerpc is also behind in this fix.
The commit 722b3c746953 "ftrace/graph: Trace function entry before
updating index" fixes an issue with function graph tracing for x86,
where if the called entry function decides not to trace interrupts, it
can fail the check if an interrupt comes in just after the
curr_ret_stack is updated.
The solution is to call the entry function first, then update the
curr_ret_stack if the entry function wants to be traced.

We have a request for a fast method of getting CPU and NUMA node IDs
from userspace. This patch implements a getcpu VDSO function,
similar to x86.
Ben suggested we use SPRG3 which is userspace readable. SPRG3 can be
modified by a KVM guest, so we save the SPRG3 value in the paca and
restore it when transitioning from the guest to the host.
I have a glibc patch that implements sched_getcpu on top of this.

When I "fixed" the CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS case on interrupt entry,
I screwed up a little bit with the test for user space vs. kernel.
The code is fine, there's just some dead code around it. I basically
removed the test and always create the added stack frame whether
coming from user or kernel since in any case we do need to save
a bunch of volatile registers or bad things would happen (we can
take page faults in the kernel for example).

Add the ability to inject IOMMU faults. We enable this per device
via a fail_iommu sysfs property, similar to fault injection on other
subsystems.
An example:
...
0003:01:00.1 Ethernet controller: Emulex Corporation OneConnect 10Gb NIC (be3) (rev 02)
To inject one error to this device:
echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0003:01:00.1/fail_iommu
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/fail_iommu/probability
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/fail_iommu/times
As feared, the first failure injected on the be3 results in an
unrecoverable error, taking down both functions of the card
permanently:
be2net 0003:01:00.1: Unrecoverable error in the card

Looks like we still have issues with pSeries and Cell idle code
vs. the lazy irq state. In fact, the reset fixes that went upstream
are exposing the problem more by causing BUG_ON() to trigger (which
this patch turns into a WARN_ON instead).
We need to be careful when using a variant of low power state that
has the side effect of turning interrupts back on, to properly set
all the SW & lazy state to look as if everything is enabled before
we enter the low power state with MSR:EE off as we will return with
MSR:EE on. If not, we have a discrepancy of state which can cause
things to go very wrong later on.
This patch moves the logic into a helper and uses it from the
pseries and cell idle code. The power4/970 idle code already got
things right (in assembly even !) so I'm not touching it. The power7
"bare metal" idle code is subtly different and correct. Remains PA6T
and some hypervisor based Cell platforms which have questionable
code in there, but they are mostly dead platforms so I'll fix them
when I manage to get final answers from the respective maintainers
about how the low power state actually works on them.

The pattern (np ? np->full_name : "<none>") is rather common in the

At the moment all queues in a multiqueue adapter will serialise
against the IOMMU table lock. This is proving to be a big issue,
especially with 10Gbit ethernet.
This patch creates 4 pools and tries to spread the load across
them. If the table is under 1GB in size we revert back to the
original behaviour of 1 pool and 1 largealloc pool.
We create a hash to map CPUs to pools. Since we prefer interrupts to
be affinitised to primary CPUs, without some form of hashing we are
very likely to end up using the same pool. As an example, POWER7
has 4 way SMT and with 4 pools all primary threads will map to the
same pool.
The largealloc pool is reduced from 1/2 to 1/4 of the space to
partially offset the overhead of breaking the table up into pools.
Some performance numbers were obtained with a Chelsio T3 adapter on
two POWER7 boxes, running a 100 session TCP round robin test.
Performance improved 69% with this patch applied.

1) call_function.lock used in smp_call_function_many() is just to protect

because data->cpumask is pre-calculate and even if a cpu is brougt up
when calling arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask(), it's harmless because
validation test in generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() will take care

As I was adding code that affects all archs, I started testing function
tracer against PPC64 and found that it currently locks up with 3.4
kernel. I figured it was due to tracing a function that shouldn't be, so
I went through the following process to bisect to find the culprit:
cat /debug/tracing/available_filter_functions > t
num=`wc -l t`
sed -ne "1,${num}p" t > t1
let num=num+1
sed -ne "${num},$p" t > t2
cat t1 > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
echo function /debug/tracing/current_tracer
<failed? bisect t1, if not bisect t2>
It finally came down to this function: restore_interrupts()
I'm not sure why this locks up the system. It just seems to prevent
scheduling from occurring. Interrupts seem to still work, as I can ping
the box. But all user processes freeze.
When restore_interrupts() is not traced, function tracing works fine.

In entry_64.S version of ret_from_except_lite, you'll notice that
in the !preempt case, after we've checked MSR_PR we test for any
TIF flag in _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK to decide whether to go to do_work
or not. However, in the preempt case, we do a convoluted trick to
test SIGPENDING only if PR was set and always test NEED_RESCHED ...
but we forget to test any other bit of _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK !!! So
that means that with preempt, we completely fail to test for things
like single step, syscall tracing, etc...
This should be fixed as the following path:
- Test PR. If not set, go to resume_kernel, else continue.
- If go resume_kernel, to do that original do_work.
- If else, then always test for _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK to decide to do
that original user_work, else restore directly.

Add the host bridge bus number aperture to the resource list.
Like the MMIO and I/O port apertures, this is used when assigning
resources to hot-added devices or in the case of conflicts.

Replace the struct pci_bus secondary/subordinate members with the
struct resource busn_res. Later we'll build a resource tree of these
bus numbers.

This fixes a problem which can causes kernel oopses while loading
a kernel module.
According to the PowerPC EABI specification, GPR r11 is assigned
the dedicated function to point to the previous stack frame.
In the powerpc-specific kernel module loader, do_plt_call()
(in arch/powerpc/kernel/module_32.c), GPR r11 is also used
to generate trampoline code.
This combination crashes the kernel, in the case where the compiler
chooses to use a helper function for saving GPRs on entry, and the
module loader has placed the .init.text section far away from the
.text section, meaning that it has to generate a trampoline for
functions in the .init.text section to call the GPR save helper.
Because the trampoline trashes r11, references to the stack frame
using r11 can cause an oops.
The fix just uses GPR r12 instead of GPR r11 for generating the
trampoline code. According to the statements from Freescale, this is
safe from an EABI perspective.
I've tested the fix for kernel 2.6.33 on MPC8541.
