2006-11-17x86: be more careful when walking back the frame pointer chainLinus Torvalds
When showing the stack backtrace, make sure that we never accept not only an unchanging frame pointer, but also a frame pointer that moves back down the stack frame. It must always grow up (toward older stack frames). I doubt this has triggered, but a subtly corrupt stack with extremely unlucky contents could cause us to loop forever on a bogus endless frame pointer chain. This review was triggered by much worse problems happening in some of the other stack unwinding code. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-11-17[PATCH] i386/x86_64: ACPI cpu_idle_wait() fixIngo Molnar
The scheduler on Andreas Friedrich's hyperthreading system stopped working properly: the scheduler would never move tasks to another CPU! The lask known working kernel was 2.6.8. After a couple of attempts to corner the bug, the following smoking gun was found: BIOS reported wrong ACPI idfor the processor CPU#1: set_cpus_allowed(), swapper:1, 3 -> 2 [<c0103bbe>] show_trace_log_lvl+0x34/0x4a [<c0103ceb>] show_trace+0x2c/0x2e [<c01045f8>] dump_stack+0x2b/0x2d [<c0116a77>] set_cpus_allowed+0x52/0xec [<c0101d86>] cpu_idle_wait+0x2e/0x100 [<c0259c57>] acpi_processor_power_exit+0x45/0x58 [<c0259752>] acpi_processor_remove+0x46/0xea [<c025c6fb>] acpi_start_single_object+0x47/0x54 [<c025cee5>] acpi_bus_register_driver+0xa4/0xd3 [<c04ab2d7>] acpi_processor_init+0x57/0x77 [<c01004d7>] init+0x146/0x2fd [<c0103a87>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 a quick look at cpu_idle_wait() shows how broken that code is on i386: it changes the init task's affinity map but never restores it ... and because all userspace tasks get forked by init, they all inherited that single-CPU affinity mask. x86_64 cloned this bug too.

The fix is to align the stack pointer.

2006-11-15[IA64] bte_unaligned_copy() transfers one extra cache line.Robin Holt
When called to do a transfer that has a start offset within the cache line which is uneven between source and destination and a length which terminates the source of the copy exactly on a cache line, one extra line gets copied into a temporary buffer. This is normally not an issue since the buffer is a kernel buffer and only the requested information gets copied into the user buffer. The problem arises when the source ends at the very last physical page of memory. That last cache line does not exist and results in the SHUB chip raising an MCA.

2006-11-15[PATCH] Use delayed disable mode of ioapic edge triggered interruptsEric W. Biederman
Komuro reports that ISA interrupts do not work after a disable_irq(), causing some PCMCIA drivers to not work, with messages like eth0: Asix AX88190: io 0x300, irq 3, hw_addr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx eth0: found link beat eth0: autonegotiation complete: 100baseT-FD selected eth0: interrupt(s) dropped! eth0: interrupt(s) dropped! eth0: interrupt(s) dropped! ... Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> said: "Now, edge-triggered interrupts are a _lot_ harder to mask, because the Intel APIC is an unbelievable piece of sh*t, and has the edge-detect logic _before_ the mask logic, so if a edge happens _while_ the device is masked, you'll never ever see the edge ever again (unmasking will not cause a new edge, so you simply lost the interrupt). So when you "mask" an edge-triggered IRQ, you can't really mask it at all, because if you did that, you'd lose it forever if the IRQ comes in while you masked it. Instead, we're supposed to leave it active, and set a flag, and IF the IRQ comes in, we just remember it, and mask it at that point instead, and then on unmasking, we have to replay it by sending a self-IPI." This trivial patch solves the problem. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-11-14[PATCH] hugetlb: prepare_hugepage_range check offset tooHugh Dickins
(David:) If hugetlbfs_file_mmap() returns a failure to do_mmap_pgoff() - for example, because the given file offset is not hugepage aligned - then do_mmap_pgoff will go to the unmap_and_free_vma backout path. But at this stage the vma hasn't been marked as hugepage, and the backout path will call unmap_region() on it. That will eventually call down to the non-hugepage version of unmap_page_range(). On ppc64, at least, that will cause serious problems if there are any existing hugepage pagetable entries in the vicinity - for example if there are any other hugepage mappings under the same PUD. unmap_page_range() will trigger a bad_pud() on the hugepage pud entries. I suspect this will also cause bad problems on ia64, though I don't have a machine to test it on. (Hugh:) prepare_hugepage_range() should check file offset alignment when it checks virtual address and length, to stop MAP_FIXED with a bad huge offset from unmapping before it fails further down. PowerPC should apply the same prepare_hugepage_range alignment checks as ia64 and all the others do. Then none of the alignment checks in hugetlbfs_file_mmap are required (nor is the check for too small a mapping); but even so, move up setting of VM_HUGETLB and add a comment to warn of what David Gibson discovered - if hugetlbfs_file_mmap fails before setting it, do_mmap_pgoff's unmap_region when unwinding from error will go the non-huge way, which may cause bad behaviour on architectures (powerpc and ia64) which segregate their huge mappings into a separate region of the address space.

2006-11-14[PATCH] x86-64: Fix vgetcpu when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is disabledAndi Kleen
The vgetcpu per CPU initialization previously relied on CPU hotplug events for all CPUs to initialize the per CPU state. That only worked only on kernels with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU enabled. On the others some CPUs didn't get their state initialized properly and vgetcpu wouldn't work. Change the initialization sequence to instead run in a normal initcall (which runs after the normal CPU bootup) and initialize all running CPUs there. Later hotplug CPUs are still handled with an hotplug notifier. This actually simplifies the code somewhat. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

2006-11-14[PATCH] x86-64: setup saved_max_pfn correctly (kdump)Magnus Damm
x86_64: setup saved_max_pfn correctly 2.6.19-rc4 has broken CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP support on x86_64. It is impossible to read out the kernel contents from /proc/vmcore because saved_max_pfn is set to zero instead of the max_pfn value before the user map is setup. This happens because saved_max_pfn is initialized at parse_early_param() time, and at this time no active regions have been registered. save_max_pfn is setup from e820_end_of_ram(), more exact find_max_pfn_with_active_regions() which returns 0 because no regions exist.

2006-11-14[PATCH] x86-64: shorten the x86_64 boot setup GDT to what the comment saysSteven Rostedt
Stephen Tweedie, Herbert Xu, and myself have been struggling with a very nasty bug in Xen. But it also pointed out a small bug in the x86_64 kernel boot setup. The GDT limit being setup by the initial bzImage code when entering into protected mode is way too big. The comment by the code states that the size of the GDT is 2048, but the actual size being set up is much bigger (32768). This happens simply because of one extra '0'. Instead of setting up a 0x800 size, 0x8000 is set up. On bare metal this is fine because the CPU wont load any segments unless they are explicitly used. But unfortunately, this breaks Xen on vmx FV, since it (for now) blindly loads all the segments into the VMCS if they are less than the gdt limit. Since the real mode segments are around 0x3000, we are getting junk into the VMCS and that later causes an exception. Stephen Tweedie has written up a patch to fix the Xen side and will be submitting that to those folks. But that doesn't excuse the GDT limit being a magnitude too big.

2006-11-10[POWERPC] pseries: Force 4k update_flash block and list sizesJohn Rose
The enablement of 64k pages on pseries platforms exposed a bug in the RTAS mechanism for updating firmware. RTAS assumes 4k for flash block and list sizes, and use of any other sizes results in a failure, even though PAPR does not specify any such requirement. This patch changes the rtas_flash module to force the use of 4k memory block and list sizes when preparing and sending a firmware image to RTAS. The rtas_flash function now uses a slab cache of 4k blocks with 4k alignment, rather than get_zeroed_page(), to allocate the memory for the flash blocks and lists.

The "wrapper" script was using the wrong names for the initrd and dtb (device-tree blob) sections. This fixes it, and also ensures the symbols for the start and end of the dtb get defined correctly. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-11-08[PATCH] htirq: refactor so we only have one function that writes to the chipEric W. Biederman
This refactoring actually optimizes the code a little by caching the value that we think the device is programmed with instead of reading it back from the hardware. Which simplifies the code a little and should speed things up a bit. This patch introduces the concept of a ht_irq_msg and modifies the architecture read/write routines to update this code. There is a minor consistency fix here as well as x86_64 forgot to initialize the htirq as masked. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-11-08[PATCH] ia64: select ACPI_NUMA if ACPIKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
When ACPI && NUMA, pxm_to_node is used and it exists in drivers/acpi/numa.c Tony said: The patch makes sense ... if you pick both of "ACPI" and "NUMA", then you need (and should automatically be given) ACPI_NUMA too. The only open question is whether there is a better way of getting there. Perhaps with less configuration options in the first place? We are heading towards a future where so many systems will be NUMA that there would seem to be little benefit in keeping ACPI_NUMA separate from ACPI ... but perhaps we aren't quite there yet.

2006-11-08[PATCH] kretprobe: fix kretprobe-booster to save regs and set statusMasami Hiramatsu
There are two bugs in the kretprobe-booster. 1) It doesn't make room for gs registers. 2) It doesn't change status of the current kprobe. This status will effect the fault handling. This patch fixes these bugs and, additionally, saves skipped registers for compatibility with the original kretprobe.

2006-11-08[PATCH] i386: Force data segment to be 4K alignedVivek Goyal
o Currently there is no specific alignment restriction in linker script and in some cases it can be placed non 4K aligned addresses. This fails kexec which checks that segment to be loaded is page aligned. o I guess, it does not harm data segment to be 4K aligned.

2006-11-08[PATCH] Regression in 2.6.19-rc microcode driverArjan van de Ven
If the microcode driver is built in (rather than module) there are some, ehm, interesting effects happening due to the new "call out to userspace" behavior that is introduced.. and which runs too early. The result is a boot hang; which is really nasty. The patch below is a minimally safe patch to fix this regression for 2.6.19 by just not requesting actual microcode updates during early boot. (That is a good idea in general anyway) The "real" fix is a lot more complex given the entire cpu hotplug scenario (during cpu hotplug you normally need to load the microcode as well); but the interactions for that are just really messy at this point; this fix at least makes it work and avoids a full detangle of hotplug.

2006-11-08x86-64: write IO APIC irq routing entries in correct orderLinus Torvalds
This is the x86-64 version of f9dadfa71bc594df09044da61d1c72701121d802 that did the same thing on i386. Since the "mask" bit is in the low word, when we write a new entry, we need to write the high word first, before we potentially unmask it. The exception is when we actually want to mask the interrupt, in which case we want to write the low word first to make sure that the high word doesn't change while the interrupt routing is still active.

2006-11-08x86-64: clean up io-apic accessesLinus Torvalds
This is just commit 130fe05dbc0114609cfef9815c0c5580b42decfa ported to x86-64, for all the same reasons. It cleans up the IO-APIC accesses in order to then fix the ordering issues. We move the accessor functions (that were only used by io_apic.c) out of a header file, and use proper memory-mapped accesses rather than making up our own "volatile" pointers.

2006-11-08Revert "[PATCH] i386: Add MMCFG resources to i386 too"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit de09bddb9d6f96785be470c832b881e6d72d589f. It tried to reserve the MMCONFIG mmio memory ranges, but since the MMCONFIG information is broken and often bogus (which is why we don't dare use it most of the time _anyway_), it does more harm than good.
