git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen Pull Xen fixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk: "Some of these had been in existence since the 2.6.27 days, some since 3.0 - and some due to new features added in v3.4. The one that is most interesting is David's one - in the low-level assembler code we had be checking events needlessly. With his patch now we do it when the appropriate flag is set - with the added benefit that we can process events faster. Stefano's is fixing a mistake where the Linux IRQ numbers were ACK-ed instead of the Xen IRQ, resulting in missing interrupts. The other ones are bootup related that can show up on various hardware." - In the low-level assembler code we would jump to check events even if none were present. This incorrect behavior had been there since 2.6.27 days! - When using the fast-path for ACK-ing interrupts we were using the Linux IRQ numbers instead of the Xen ones (and they can differ) and missing interrupts in process. - Fix bootup crashes when ACPI hotplug CPUs were present and they would expand past the set number of CPUs we were allocated. - Deal with broken BIOSes when uploading C-states to the hypervisor. - Disable the cpuid check for MWAIT_LEAF if the ACPI PAD driver is loaded. If the ACPI PAD driver is used it will crash, so lets not export the functionality so the ACPI PAD driver won't load. * tag 'stable/for-linus-3.4-rc4-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen: xen: correctly check for pending events when restoring irq flags xen/acpi: Workaround broken BIOSes exporting non-existing C-states. xen/smp: Fix crash when booting with ACPI hotplug CPUs. xen: use the pirq number to check the pirq_eoi_map xen/enlighten: Disable MWAIT_LEAF so that acpi-pad won't be loaded.

2012-04-27xen: correctly check for pending events when restoring irq flagsDavid Vrabel
In xen_restore_fl_direct(), xen_force_evtchn_callback() was being called even if no events were pending. This resulted in (depending on workload) about a 100 times as many xen_version hypercalls as necessary. Fix this by correcting the sense of the conditional jump. This seems to give a significant performance benefit for some workloads. There is some subtle tricksy "..since the check here is trying to check both pending and masked in a single cmpw, but I think this is correct. It will call check_events now only when the combined mask+pending word is 0x0001 (aka unmasked, pending)."

2012-04-26xen/enlighten: Disable MWAIT_LEAF so that acpi-pad won't be loaded.Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk
There are exactly four users of __monitor and __mwait: - cstate.c (which allows acpi_processor_ffh_cstate_enter to be called when the cpuidle API drivers are used. However patch "cpuidle: replace xen access to x86 pm_idle and default_idle" provides a mechanism to disable the cpuidle and use safe_halt. - smpboot (which allows mwait_play_dead to be called). However safe_halt is always used so we skip that. - intel_idle (same deal as above). - acpi_pad.c. This the one that we do not want to run as we will hit the below crash. Why do we want to expose MWAIT_LEAF in the first place? We want it for the xen-acpi-processor driver - which uploads C-states to the hypervisor. If MWAIT_LEAF is set, the cstate.c sets the proper address in the C-states so that the hypervisor can benefit from using the MWAIT functionality. And that is the sole reason for using it. Without this patch, if a module performs mwait or monitor we get this: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP CPU 2 .. snip..

2012-04-23x86, acpi: Call acpi_enter_sleep_state via an asmlinkage C function from ↵Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk
assembler With commit a2ef5c4fd44ce3922435139393b89f2cce47f576 "ACPI: Move module parameter gts and bfs to sleep.c" the wake_sleep_flags is required when calling acpi_enter_sleep_state. The assembler code in wakeup_*.S did not do that. One solution is to call it from assembler and stick the wake_sleep_flags on the stack (for 32-bit) or in %esi (for 64-bit). hpa and rafael both suggested however to create a wrapper function to call acpi_enter_sleep_state and call said wrapper function ("acpi_enter_s3") from assembler. For 32-bit, the acpi_enter_s3 ends up looking as so: push %ebp mov %esp,%ebp sub $0x8,%esp movzbl 0xc1809314,%eax [wake_sleep_flags] movl $0x3,(%esp) mov %eax,0x4(%esp) call 0xc12d1fa0 <acpi_enter_sleep_state> leave ret And 64-bit: movzbl 0x9afde1(%rip),%esi [wake_sleep_flags] push %rbp mov $0x3,%edi mov %rsp,%rbp callq 0xffffffff812e9800 <acpi_enter_sleep_state> leaveq retq Reviewed-by: H.

2012-04-20VM: add "vm_mmap()" helper functionLinus Torvalds
This continues the theme started with vm_brk() and vm_munmap(): vm_mmap() does the same thing as do_mmap(), but additionally does the required VM locking. This uninlines (and rewrites it to be clearer) do_mmap(), which sadly duplicates it in mm/mmap.c and mm/nommu.c. But that way we don't have to export our internal do_mmap_pgoff() function. Some day we hopefully don't have to export do_mmap() either, if all modular users can become the simpler vm_mmap() instead. We're actually very close to that already, with the notable exception of the (broken) use in i810, and a couple of stragglers in binfmt_elf.

2012-04-18x86, apic: APIC code touches invalid MSR on P5 class machinesBryan O'Donoghue
Current APIC code assumes MSR_IA32_APICBASE is present for all systems. Pentium Classic P5 and friends didn't have this MSR. MSR_IA32_APICBASE was introduced as an architectural MSR by Intel @ P6. Code paths that can touch this MSR invalidly are when vendor == Intel && cpu-family == 5 and APIC bit is set in CPUID - or when you simply pass lapic on the kernel command line, on a P5. The below patch stops Linux incorrectly interfering with the MSR_IA32_APICBASE for P5 class machines. Other code paths exist that touch the MSR - however those paths are not currently reachable for a conformant P5.

2012-04-16i387: ptrace breaks the lazy-fpu-restore logicOleg Nesterov
Starting from 7e16838d "i387: support lazy restore of FPU state" we assume that fpu_owner_task doesn't need restore_fpu_checking() on the context switch, its FPU state should match what we already have in the FPU on this CPU. However, debugger can change the tracee's FPU state, in this case we should reset fpu.last_cpu to ensure fpu_lazy_restore() can't return true. Change init_fpu() to do this, it is called by user_regset->set() methods.

2012-04-16x86/platform: Remove incorrect error message in x86_default_fixup_cpu_id()Andreas Herrmann
It's only called from amd.c:srat_detect_node(). The introduced condition for calling the fixup code is true for all AMD multi-node processors, e.g. Magny-Cours and Interlagos. There we have 2 NUMA nodes on one socket. Thus there are cores having different numa-node-id but with equal phys_proc_id. There is no point to print error messages in such a situation. The confusing/misleading error message was introduced with commit 64be4c1c2428e148de6081af235e2418e6a66dda ("x86: Add x86_init platform override to fix up NUMA core numbering"). Remove the default fixup function (especially the error message) and replace it by a NULL pointer check, move the Numascale-specific condition for calling the fixup into the fixup-function itself and slightly adapt the comment.

2012-04-16x86, efi: Add dedicated EFI stub entry pointMatt Fleming
The method used to work out whether we were booted by EFI firmware or via a boot loader is broken. Because efi_main() is always executed when booting from a boot loader we will dereference invalid pointers either on the stack (CONFIG_X86_32) or contained in %rdx (CONFIG_X86_64) when searching for an EFI System Table signature. Instead of dereferencing these invalid system table pointers, add a new entry point that is only used when booting from EFI firmware, when we know the pointer arguments will be valid. With this change legacy boot loaders will no longer execute efi_main(), but will instead skip EFI stub initialisation completely.

2012-04-15x86-32: fix up strncpy_from_user() sign errorLinus Torvalds
The 'max' range needs to be unsigned, since the size of the user address space is bigger than 2GB. We know that 'count' is positive in 'long' (that is checked in the caller), so we will truncate 'max' down to something that fits in a signed long, but before we actually do that, that comparison needs to be done in unsigned. Bug introduced in commit 92ae03f2ef99 ("x86: merge 32/64-bit versions of 'strncpy_from_user()' and speed it up"). On x86-64 you can't trigger this, since the user address space is much smaller than 63 bits, and on x86-32 it works in practice, since you would seldom hit the strncpy limits anyway. I had actually tested the corner-cases, I had only tested them on x86-64. Besides, I had only worried about the case of a pointer *close* to the end of the address space, rather than really far away from it ;) This also changes the "we hit the user-specified maximum" to return 'res', for the trivial reason that gcc seems to generate better code that way. 'res' and 'count' are the same in that case, so it really doesn't matter which one we return. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2012-04-11x86: merge 32/64-bit versions of 'strncpy_from_user()' and speed it upLinus Torvalds
This merges the 32- and 64-bit versions of the x86 strncpy_from_user() by just rewriting it in C rather than the ancient inline asm versions that used lodsb/stosb and had been duplicated for (trivial) differences between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions. While doing that, it also speeds them up by doing the accesses a word at a time. Finally, the new routines also properly handle the case of hitting the end of the address space, which we have never done correctly before (fs/namei.c has a hack around it for that reason). Despite all these improvements, it actually removes more lines than it adds, due to the de-duplication. Also, we no longer export (or define) the legacy __strncpy_from_user() function (that was defined to not do the user permission checks), since it's not actually used anywhere, and the user address space checks are built in to the new code. Other architecture maintainers have been notified that the old hack in fs/namei.c will be going away in the 3.5 merge window, in case they copied the x86 approach of being a bit cavalier about the end of the address space.

2012-04-06Make the "word-at-a-time" helper functions more commonly usableLinus Torvalds
I have a new optimized x86 "strncpy_from_user()" that will use these same helper functions for all the same reasons the name lookup code uses them. This is preparation for that. This moves them into an architecture-specific header file. It's architecture-specific for two reasons: - some of the functions are likely to want architecture-specific implementations. Even if the current code happens to be "generic" in the sense that it should work on any little-endian machine, it's likely that the "multiply by a big constant and shift" implementation is less than optimal for an architecture that has a guaranteed fast bit count instruction, for example. - I expect that if architectures like sparc want to start playing around with this, we'll need to abstract out a few more details (in particular the actual unaligned accesses). So we're likely to have more architecture-specific stuff if non-x86 architectures start using this. (and if it turns out that non-x86 architectures don't start using this, then having it in an architecture-specific header is still the right thing to do, of course) Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Fix from Eric Dumazet. 11) do_tcp_sendpage() unloads the send queue way too fast, because it invokes tcp_push() when it shouldn't. Let the natural sequence generated by the splice paths, and the assosciated MSG_MORE settings, guide the tcp_push() calls. Otherwise what goes out of TCP is spaghetti and doesn't batch effectively into GSO/TSO clusters. From Eric Dumazet. 12) Once we put a SKB into either the netlink receiver's queue or a socket error queue, it can be consumed and freed up, therefore we cannot touch it after queueing it like that. Fixes from Eric Dumazet. 13) PPP has this annoying behavior in that for every transmit call it immediately stops the TX queue, then calls down into the next layer to transmit the PPP frame. But if that next layer can take it immediately, it just un-stops the TX queue right before returning from the transmit method. Besides being useless work, it makes several facilities unusable, in particular things like the equalizers. Well behaved devices should only stop the TX queue when they really are full, and in PPP's case when it gets backlogged to the downstream device. David Woodhouse therefore fixed PPP to not stop the TX queue until it's downstream can't take data any more. 14) IFF_UNICAST_FLT got accidently lost in some recent stmmac driver changes, re-add.

That function calls mp_find_ioapics to get the 'struct ioapic' structure - which along with the mp_irq[x] is used to figure out the default values and the polarity/trigger overrides. Since the mp_find_ioapics now returns -1 [b/c the IOAPIC is filled with 0xffffffff], the acpi_get_override_irq() stops trying to lookup in the mp_irq[x] the proper INT_SRV_OVR and we can't install the SCI interrupt. The proper fix for this is going in v3.5 and adds an x86_io_apic_ops struct so that platforms can override it. But for v3.4 lets carry this work-around. This patch does that by providing a slightly different variant of the fake IOAPIC entries. Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

2012-04-05Merge branch 'akpm' (Andrew's patch-bomb)Linus Torvalds
Merge batch of fixes from Andrew Morton: "The simple_open() cleanup was held back while I wanted for laggards to merge things. I still need to send a few checkpoint/restore patches. I've been wobbly about merging them because I'm wobbly about the overall prospects for success of the project. But after speaking with Pavel at the LSF conference, it sounds like they're further toward completion than I feared - apparently davem is at the "has stopped complaining" stage regarding the net changes. So I need to go back and re-review those patchs and their (lengthy) discussion." * emailed from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (16 patches) memcg swap: use mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap fix backlight: add driver for DA9052/53 PMIC v1 C6X: use set_current_blocked() and block_sigmask() MAINTAINERS: add entry for sparse checker MAINTAINERS: fix REMOTEPROC F: typo alpha: use set_current_blocked() and block_sigmask() simple_open: automatically convert to simple_open() scripts/coccinelle/api/simple_open.cocci: semantic patch for simple_open() libfs: add simple_open() hugetlbfs: remove unregister_filesystem() when initializing module drivers/rtc/rtc-88pm860x.c: fix rtc irq enable callback fs/xattr.c:setxattr(): improve handling of allocation failures fs/xattr.c:listxattr(): fall back to vmalloc() if kmalloc() failed fs/xattr.c: suppress page allocation failure warnings from sys_listxattr() sysrq: use SEND_SIG_FORCED instead of force_sig() proc: fix mount -t proc -o AAA
