[CPUFREQ] acpi-cpufreq: Proper ReadModifyWrite of PERF_CTL MSR
During recent acpi-cpufreq changes, writing to PERF_CTL msr
changed from RMW of entire 64 bit to RMW of low 32 bit and clearing of
upper 32 bit. Fix it back to do a proper RMW of the MSR.

[SPARC32]: Fix rounding errors in ndelay/udelay implementation.
__ndelay and __udelay have not been delayung >= specified time.
The problem with __ndelay has been tacked down to the rounding of the
multiplier constant. By changing this, delays > app 18us are correctly
calculated.
The problem with __udelay has also been tracked down to rounding issues.
Changing the multiplier constant (to match that used in sparc64) corrects
for large delays and adding in a rounding constant corrects for trunctaion
errors in the claculations.
Many short delays will return without looping. This is not an error as there
is the fixed delay of doing all the maths to calculate the loop count.

[SPARC32]: Fix bug in sparc optimized memset.
Sparc optimized memset (arch/sparc/lib/memset.S) does not fill last
byte of the memory area, if area size is less than 8 bytes and start
address is not word (4-bytes) aligned.
Here is code chunk where bug located:
/* %o0 - memory address, %o1 - size, %g3 - value */
8:
add %o0, 1, %o0
subcc %o1, 1, %o1
bne,a 8b
stb %g3, [%o0 - 1]
This code should write byte every loop iteration, but last time delay
instruction stb is not executed because branch instruction sets
"annul" bit.
Patch replaces bne,a by bne instruction.
Error can be reproduced by simple kernel module:

The commit 635cf99a80f4ebee59d70eb64bb85ce829e4591f introduced a

This fixes a bug which can cause corruption of the floating-point state
on return from a signal handler. If we have a signal handler that has
used the floating-point registers, and it happens to context-switch to
another task while copying the interrupted floating-point state from the
user stack into the thread struct (e.g. because of a page fault, or
because it gets preempted), the context switch code will think that the
FP registers contain valid FP state that needs to be copied into the
thread_struct, and will thus overwrite the values that the signal return
code has put into the thread_struct.
This can occur because we clear the MSR bits that indicate the presence
of valid FP state after copying the state into the thread_struct. To fix
this we just move the clearing of the MSR bits to before the copy. A
similar potential problem also occurs with the Altivec state, and this
fixes that in the same way.

We aren't sampling for holes in memory. Thus we encounter a section hole with
empty section map pointer for SPARSEMEM and OOPs for show_mem. This issue
has been seen in 2.6.21, current git and current mm. This patch is for
2.6.21 stable. It was tested against sparsemem.
Previous to commit f0a5a58aa812b31fd9f197c4ba48245942364eae memory_present
was called for node_start_pfn to node_end_pfn. This would cover the hole(s)
with reserved pages and valid sections. Most SPARSEMEM supported arches
do a pfn_valid check in show_mem before computing the page structure address.
This issue was brought to my attention on IRC by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo at
acme@redhat.com. Thanks to Arnaldo for testing.

On systems with huge amount of physical memory, VFS cache and memory memmap
may eat all available system memory under 4G, then the system may fail to
allocate swiotlb bounce buffer.
There was a fix for this issue in arch/x86_64/mm/numa.c, but that fix dose
not cover sparsemem model.
This patch add fix to sparsemem model by first try to allocate memmap above
4G.

change_page_attr on x86-64 only flushed the TLB for pages that got

The 32-bit syscall trampoline for sys_ipc() on sparc64
was sign extending various arguments, which is bogus when
using compat_sys_ipc() since that function expects zero

This bug breaks the sparc64 kernel when built with gcc-4.2.x

[SPARC64]: Fix SBUS IOMMU allocation code.
There are several IOMMU allocator bugs. Instead of trying to fix this
overly complicated code, just mirror the PCI IOMMU arena allocator
which is very stable and well stress tested.
I tried to make the code as identical as possible so we can switch
sun4u PCI and SBUS over to a common piece of IOMMU code. All that
will be need are two callbacks, one to do a full IOMMU flush and one
to do a streaming buffer flush.
This patch gets rid of a lot of hangs and mysterious crashes on SBUS
sparc64 systems, at least for me.

The __copy_to_user_inatomic() calls in file_read_actor() and pipe_read()
are broken on original i386 machines, where WP-works-ok == false, as
__copy_to_user_inatomic() on such systems calls functions which might
sleep and/or contain cond_resched() calls inside of a kmap_atomic()
region.
The original check for WP-works-ok was in access_ok(), but got moved
during the 2.5 series to fix a race vs. swap.
Return the number of bytes to copy in the case where we are in an atomic
region, so the non atomic code pathes in file_read_actor() and
pipe_read() are taken.
This could be optimized to avoid the kmap_atomic by moving the check for
WP-works-ok into fault_in_pages_writeable(), but this is more intrusive
and can be done later.

Currently we have a confused udelay implementation.
* __const_udelay does not accept usecs but xloops in i386 and x86_64
* our implementation requires usecs as arg
* it gets a xloops count when called by asm/arch/delay.h
Bugs related to this (extremely long shutdown times) where reported by some
x86_64 users, especially using Device Mapper.
To hit this bug, a compile-time constant time parameter must be passed - that's
why UML seems to work most times.
Fix this with a simple udelay implementation.

This patch uses MAX_REG_NR consistently to refer to the register file
size. FRAME_SIZE isn't sufficient because on x86_64, it is smaller
than the ptrace register file size. MAX_REG_NR was introduced as a
consistent way to get the number of registers, but wasn't used
everywhere it should be.
When this causes a problem, it makes PTRACE_SETREGS fail on x86_64
because of a corrupted segment register value in the known-good
register file. The patch also adds a register dump at that point in
case there are any future problems here.

This fixes a problem seen by a number of people running UML on newer host
kernels. init would hang with an infinite segfault loop.
It turns out that the host kernel was providing a AT_SYSINFO_EHDR of
0xffffe000, which faked UML into believing that the host VDSO page could be
reused. However, AT_SYSINFO pointed into the middle of the address space, and
was unmapped as a result. Because UML was providing AT_SYSINFO_EHDR and
AT_SYSINFO to its own processes, these would branch to nowhere when trying to
use the VDSO.
The fix is to also check the location of AT_SYSINFO when deciding whether to
use the host's VDSO.

[SPARC64]: store-init needs trailing membar.
The manual says that it is required and we actually have crash reports
where loads see stale data due to not having membars here.
In one case the networking does:
memset(skb, 0, offsetof(struct sk_buff, truesize));
and then some code later checks skb->nohdr for zero, but it's still
the value that was there before the memset().
Note that arch/sparc64/lib/xor.S already got this right.

x86_64 needs some TLS fixes. What was missing was remembering the child
thread id during clone and stuffing it into the child during each context
switch.
The %fs value is stored separately in the thread structure since the host
controls what effect it has on the actual register file. The host also needs
to store it in its own thread struct, so we need the value kept outside the
register file.
arch_prctl_skas was fixed to call PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL appropriately. There is
some saving and restoring of registers in the ARCH_SET_* cases so that the
correct set of registers are changed on the host and restored to the process
when it runs again.

To the issue: some point during 2.6.20 development, Paul Mackerras
introduced the "lazy IRQ disabling" patch (very cool work, BTW).
In that patch, the performance monitor unit exception was marked as
"maskable", in the sense that if interrupts were soft-disabled, that
exception could be ignored. This broke my PowerPC profiling code.
The symptom that I see is that a varying number of interrupts
(from 0 to $n$, typically closer to 0) get delivered, when, in
reality, it should always be very close to $n$.
The issue stems from the way masking is being done. Masking in
this fashion seems to work well with the decrementer and external
interrupts, because they are raised again until "really" handled.
For the PMU, however, this does not apply (at least on my Xserver
machine with a 970FX processor). If the PMU exception is not handled,
it will _not_ be re-raised (at least on my machine). The documentation
states that the PMXE bit in MMCR0 is set to 0 when the PMU exception
is raised. However, software must re-set the bit to re-enable PMU
exceptions. If the exception is ignored (as currently) not only is
that interrupt lost, but because software does not re-set PMXE, the
PMU registers are "frozen" forever.
[This patch means that performance monitor exceptions are taken and
handled even if irqs are off, as long as some other interrupt hasn't
come along and caused interrupts to be hard-disabled. In this sense
the PMU exception becomes like an NMI. The oprofile code for most
powerpc processors does nothing that is unsafe in an NMI context, but
the Cell oprofile code does a spin_lock_irqsave. However, that turns
out to be OK because Cell doesn't actually use the performance
monitor exception; performance monitor interrupts come in as a
regular interrupt on Cell, so will be disabled when irqs are off.

A previous cleanup misused need_poll, which had a fairly broken
interface. It implemented a growable array, changing the used
elements count itself, but leaving it up to the caller to fill in the
actual elements, including the entire array if the array had to be
reallocated. This worked because the previous users were switching
between two such structures, and the elements were copied from the
inactive array to the active array after making sure the active array
had enough room.
maybe_sigio_broken was made to use need_poll, but it was operating on
a single array, so when the buffer was reallocated, the previous
contents were lost.
This patch makes need_poll implement more sane semantics. It merely
assures that the array is of the proper size and that the contents are
preserved. It is up to the caller to adjust the used elements count
and to ensure that the proper elements are resent.
This manifested itself as a hang in 2.6.20 as the uninitialized buffer
convinced UML that one of its own file descriptors didn't support
SIGIO and needed to be watched by poll in a separate thread. The
result was an interrupt flood as control traffic over this descriptor
sparked interrupts, which resulted in more control traffic, ad nauseum.

After updating several machines to 2.6.20, I can't boot anymore the single
one of them that supports the NX bit and is configured as a 32-bit system.
My understanding is that the VDSO changes in 2.6.20-rc7 were not fully
cooked, in that with that config option enabled VDSO_SYM(x) now equals
x, meaning that an address in the fixmap area is now being passed to
apps via AT_SYSINFO. However, the page is mapped with PAGE_READONLY
rather than PAGE_READONLY_EXEC.
I'm not certain whether having app code go through the fixmap area is
intended, but in case it is here is the simple patch that makes things work
again.

Also PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS should be accepted, as done by kernel/ptrace.c and
forced by binary compatibility. UML/32bit breaks because of this - since it is wise
enough to use PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS to be binary compatible with 2.4 host
kernels.
Until 2.6.17 (commit f0f2d6536e3515b5b1b7ae97dc8f176860c8c2ce) we had:
default:
return sys_ptrace(request, pid, addr, data);
Instead here we have:
case PTRACE_GET_THREAD_AREA:
case ...:
return sys_ptrace(request, pid, addr, data);
default:
return -EINVAL;
This change was a style change - when a case is added, it must be explicitly
tested this way. In this case, not enough testing was done.

When calling into the EFI firmware, the parameters need to be passed on

The SN Altix platform does not conform to the IOSAPIC IRQ routing model.
Add code in acpi_unregister_gsi() to check if (acpi_irq_model ==
ACPI_IRQ_MODEL_PLATFORM) and return.
Due to an oversight, this code was not added previously when
similar code was added to acpi_register_gsi().

This patch fixes up ia64 kexec support for HP rx2620 hardware. It does
this by skipping migration of already disabled irqs. This is most likely a
problem on other ia64 platforms as well, but I've only been able to
reproduce it on one machine so far.
The full story is that handle_bad_irq() gets invoked before starting the
new kernel without this patch. This seems to happen when fixup_irqs()
calls generic_handle_irq() on already migrated (and disabled) irqs. So by
avoiding migration of disabled irqs we stay away of handle_bad_irq().
The code has been tested on three different ia64 machines, all with good
results. It is possible to trigger the same bug by offlining a processor
using echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online.

This reverts commit e4f0ae0ea63caceff37a13f281a72652b7ea71ba.
It's not wrong, but it's not right either, and everybody seems to agree
that the right fix is probably to do the ccr3 write after the ccr4 one
(and that we also should clean it up a bit). And after that we need to
really validate that all the bits that we write to ccr4 actually do
work.
The old 2.6.19 code was insane, and basically didn't change ccr4 at all
(even though it certainly looks like it was the *intent* to do so). So
let's revert the change that may fix things, just because it's not what
was actually ever tested when the code was written, even if it _was_ the
intent.
There's a discussion on http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/9/63 that was
started by the patch that now gets reverted, and that discussion may
well contain the proper long-term fix.

i386 boot/compressed/relocs checks for absolute symbols and warns about
unexpected ones. If you build with modversions, you get ~2500 warnings
about __crc_<symbol>. These suckers are really absolute symbols - we
do _not_ want to modify them on relocation.
They are generated by genksyms - EXPORT_... generates a weak alias, then
genksyms produces an ld script with __crc_<symbol> = <checksum> and it's
fed to ld to produce the final object file. Their only use is to match
kernel and module at modprobe time; they _must_ be absolute.
boot/compressed/relocs has a whitelist of known absolute symbols, but
it doesn't know about __crc_... stuff. As the result, we get shitloads
of false positives on any ld(1) version.

Use the same signal frame alignment calculations as the underlying
architecture. x86_64 appeared to do this, but the "- 8" was really
subtracting 8 * sizeof(struct rt_sigframe) rather than 8 bytes.
UML/i386 might have been OK, but I changed the calculation to match
i386 just to be sure.
