2008-12-16powerpc/cell/axon-msi: Fix MSI after kexecArnd Bergmann
Commit d015fe995 'powerpc/cell/axon-msi: Retry on missing interrupt' has turned a rare failure to kexec on QS22 into a reproducible error, which we have now analysed. The problem is that after a kexec, the MSIC hardware still points into the middle of the old ring buffer. We set up the ring buffer during reboot, but not the offset into it. On older kernels, this would cause a storm of thousands of spurious interrupts after a kexec, which would most of the time get dropped silently. With the new code, we time out on each interrupt, waiting for it to become valid. If more interrupts come in that we time out on, this goes on indefinitely, which eventually leads to a hard crash. The solution in this commit is to read the current offset from the MSIC when reinitializing it. This now works correctly, as expected.

2008-12-16powerpc: Fix bootmem reservation on uninitialized nodeDave Hansen
careful_allocation() was calling into the bootmem allocator for nodes which had not been fully initialized and caused a previous bug: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/10528/ So, I merged a few broken out loops in do_init_bootmem() to fix it. That changed the code ordering. I think this bug is triggered by having reserved areas for a node which are spanned by another node's contents. In the mark_reserved_regions_for_nid() code, we attempt to reserve the area for a node before we have allocated the NODE_DATA() for that nid. We do this since I reordered that loop. I suck. This is causing crashes at bootup on some systems, as reported by Jon Tollefson. This may only present on some systems that have 16GB pages reserved. But, it can probably happen on any system that is trying to reserve large swaths of memory that happen to span other nodes' contents. This commit ensures that we do not touch bootmem for any node which has not been initialized, and also removes a compile warning about an unused variable.

2008-12-16powerpc: Check for valid hugepage size in hugetlb_get_unmapped_areaBrian King
It looks like most of the hugetlb code is doing the correct thing if hugepages are not supported, but the mmap code is not. If we get into the mmap code when hugepages are not supported, such as in an LPAR which is running Active Memory Sharing, we can oops the kernel. This fixes the oops being seen in this path. oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] SMP NR_CPUS=1024 NUMA pSeries Modules linked in: nfs(N) lockd(N) nfs_acl(N) sunrpc(N) ipv6(N) fuse(N) loop(N) dm_mod(N) sg(N) ibmveth(N) sd_mod(N) crc_t10dif(N) ibmvscsic(N) scsi_transport_srp(N) scsi_tgt(N) scsi_mod(N) Supported: No NIP: c000000000038d60 LR: c00000000003945c CTR: c0000000000393f0 REGS: c000000077e7b830 TRAP: 0300 Tainted: G (2.6.27.5-bz50170-2-ppc64) MSR: 8000000000009032 <EE,ME,IR,DR> CR: 44000448 XER: 20000001 DAR: c000002000af90a8, DSISR: 0000000040000000 TASK = c00000007c1b8600[4019] 'hugemmap01' THREAD: c000000077e78000 CPU: 6 GPR00: 0000001fffffffe0 c000000077e7bab0 c0000000009a4e78 0000000000000000 GPR04: 0000000000010000 0000000000000001 00000000ffffffff 0000000000000001 GPR08: 0000000000000000 c000000000af90c8 0000000000000001 0000000000000000 GPR12: 000000000000003f c000000000a73880 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 GPR16: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000010000 GPR20: 0000000000000000 0000000000000003 0000000000010000 0000000000000001 GPR24: 0000000000000003 0000000000000000 0000000000000001 ffffffffffffffb5 GPR28: c000000077ca2e80 0000000000000000 c00000000092af78 0000000000010000 NIP [c000000000038d60] .slice_get_unmapped_area+0x6c/0x4e0 LR [c00000000003945c] .hugetlb_get_unmapped_area+0x6c/0x80 Call Trace: [c000000077e7bbc0] [c00000000003945c] .hugetlb_get_unmapped_area+0x6c/0x80 [c000000077e7bc30] [c000000000107e30] .get_unmapped_area+0x64/0xd8 [c000000077e7bcb0] [c00000000010b140] .do_mmap_pgoff+0x140/0x420 [c000000077e7bd80] [c00000000000bf5c] .sys_mmap+0xc4/0x140 [c000000077e7be30] [c0000000000086b4] syscall_exit+0x0/0x40 Instruction dump: fac1ffb0 fae1ffb8 fb01ffc0 fb21ffc8 fb41ffd0 fb61ffd8 fb81ffe0 fbc1fff0 fbe1fff8 f821fef1 f8c10158 f8e10160 <7d49002e> f9010168 e92d01b0 eb4902b0 Signed-off-by: Brian King <brking@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

An example calling sequence which we did see: copy_user_highpage -> kmap_atomic -> flush_tlb_page -> _tlbil_va We got interrupted after setting up the MAS registers before the tlbwe and the interrupt handler that caused the interrupt also did a kmap_atomic (ide code) and thus on returning from the interrupt the MAS registers no longer contained the proper values. Since we dont save/restore MAS registers for normal interrupts we need to disable interrupts in _tlbil_va to ensure atomicity. Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>

2008-12-10MN10300: Discard low-priority Tx interrupts when closing an on-chip serial portAkira Takeuchi
Discard low-prioriy Tx interrupts when closing an MN10300 on-chip serial port. The MN10300 on-chip serial port uses three interrupts to manage its serial ports: (1) A very high priority interrupt that drives virtual DMA for Rx. (2) A very high priority interrupt that drives virtual DMA for Tx. (3) A normal priority virtual interrupt that does the normal UART interrupt stuff and is shared between Rx and Tx. mn10300_serial_stop_tx() only disables the high priority Tx interrupt. It doesn't also disable the normal priority one because it is shared with Rx. However, the high priority interrupt may interrupt local_irq_disabled() sections, and so may have queued up a low priority virtual interrupt whilst the UART driver is asking for the Tx interrupt to be disabled. The result of this can be an oops when we try to process the interrupt in mn10300_serial_transmit_interrupt() as port->uart.info and port->uart.info->tty may have gone away. To deal with this, if either of those pointers is NULL, we make sure the high-priority Tx interrupt is disabled and discard the interrupt. The low priority interrupt is disabled by the mn10300_serial_pic irq_chip table.

2008-12-07[ARM] Fix alignment fault handling for ARMv6 and later CPUsRussell King
On ARMv6 and later CPUs, it is possible for userspace processes to get stuck on a misaligned load or store due to the "ignore fault" setting; unlike previous CPUs, retrying the instruction without the 'A' bit set does not always cause the load to succeed. We have no real option but to default to fixing up alignment faults on these CPUs, and having the CPU fix up those misaligned accesses which it can.

2008-12-06[ARM] 5340/1: fix stack placement after noexecstack changesLennert Buytenhek
Commit 8ec53663d2698076468b3e1edc4e1b418bd54de3 ("[ARM] Improve non-executable support") added support for detecting non-executable stack binaries. One of the things it does is to make READ_IMPLIES_EXEC be set in ->personality if we are running on a CPU that doesn't support the XN ("Execute Never") page table bit or if we are running a binary that needs an executable stack. This exposed a latent bug in ARM's asm/processor.h due to which we'll end up placing the stack at a very low address, where it will bump into the heap on any application that uses significant amount of stack or heap or both, causing many interesting crashes. Fix this by testing the ADDR_LIMIT_32BIT bit in ->personality instead of testing for equality against PER_LINUX_32BIT.

2008-12-05powerpc/virtex5: Fix Virtex5 machine check handlingGrant Likely
The 440x5 core in the Virtex5 uses the 440A type machine check (ie, they have MCSRR0/MCSRR1). They thus need to call the appropriate fixup function to hook the right variant of the exception. Without this, all machine checks become fatal due to loss of context when entering the exception handler.
