commit 69fc7eed5f56bce15b239e5110de2575a6970df4 upstream
Some machines don't have the pullup/down on their reset
pin, so configuring the reset generating pin as input makes
them reset immediately. Fix that by making reset pin direction
configurable.
This fixes the boot problem on Sharp Zaurus c3000

Impact: fix udelay when "notsc" boot parameter is passed
With notsc passed on commandline, tsc may not be used for
udelays, make sure that we do not use tsc_khz to calculate
the lpj value in such cases.

commit c7cf72dcadbe39c2077b32460f86c9f8167be3be upstream
When 'start' and 'end' are less than a cacheline apart and 'start' is
unaligned we are done after cleaning and invalidating the first
cacheline. So check for (start < end) which will not walk off into
invalid address ranges when (start > end).
This issue was caught by drivers/dma/dmatest.
2.6.27 is susceptible.

commit 2216d199b1430d1c0affb1498a9ebdbd9c0de439 upstream
The bad_bios_dmi_table() quirk never triggered because we do DMI setup
too late. Move it a bit earlier.
Also change the CONFIG_X86_RESERVE_LOW_64K quirk to operate on the e820
table directly instead of messing with early reservations - this handles
overlaps (which do occur in this low range of RAM) more gracefully.

commit fc38151947477596aa27df6c4306ad6008dc6711 upstream.
This bugzilla:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11237
Documents a wide range of systems where the BIOS utilizes the first
64K of physical memory during suspend/resume and other hardware events.
Currently we reserve this memory on all AMI and Phoenix BIOS systems.
Life is too short to hunt subtle memory corruption problems like this,
so we try to be robust by default.
Still, allow this to be overriden: allow users who want that first 64K
of memory to be available to the kernel disable the quirk, via
CONFIG_X86_RESERVE_LOW_64K=n.
Also, allow the early reservation to overlap with other
early reservations.

commit 1e22436eba84edfec9c25e5a25d09062c4f91ca9 upstream
there's multiple reports about suspend/resume related low memory
corruption in this bugzilla:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11237
the common pattern is that the corruption is caused by the BIOS,
and that it affects some portion of the first 64K of physical RAM.
So add a DMI quirk
This will waste 64K RAM on 'good' systems too, but without knowing
the exact nature of this BIOS memory corruption this is the safest
approach.
This might as well solve a wide range of suspend/resume breakages
under Linux.

commit 5649b7c30316a51792808422ac03ee825d26aa5e upstream
Alan Jenkins and Andy Wettstein reported a suspend/resume memory
corruption bug and extensively documented it here:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11237
The bug is that the BIOS overwrites 1K of memory at 0xc000 physical,
without registering it in e820 as reserved or giving the kernel any
idea about this.
Detect AMI BIOSen and reserve that 1K.
We paint this bug around with a very broad brush (reserving that 1K on all
AMI BIOS systems), as the bug was extremely hard to find and needed several
weeks and lots of debugging and patching.
The bug was found via the CONFIG_X86_CHECK_BIOS_CORRUPTION=y debug feature,
if similar bugs are suspected then this feature can be enabled on other
systems as well to scan low memory for corrupted memory.

commit 758a7f7bb86b520aadc484f23da85e547b3bf3d8 upstream
x86: register a platform RTC device if PNP doesn't describe it
Most if not all x86 platforms have an RTC device, but sometimes the RTC
is not exposed as a PNP0b00/PNP0b01/PNP0b02 device in PNPBIOS or ACPI:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11580
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=451188
It's best if we can discover the RTC via PNP because then we know
which flavor of device it is, where it lives, and which IRQ it uses.
But if we can't, we should register a platform device using the
compiled-in RTC_PORT/RTC_IRQ resource assumptions.

commit 8f64e1f2d1e09267ac926e15090fd505c1c0cbcb upstream
If there are multiple reserved memory blocks via lmb_reserve() that are
contiguous addresses and on different NUMA nodes we are losing track of which
address ranges to reserve in bootmem on which node. I discovered this
when I recently got to try 16GB huge pages on a system with more then 2 nodes.
When scanning the device tree in early boot we call lmb_reserve() with
the addresses of the 16G pages that we find so that the memory doesn't
get used for something else. For example the addresses for the pages
could be 4000000000, 4400000000, 4800000000, 4C00000000, etc - 8 pages,
one on each of eight nodes. In the lmb after all the pages have been
reserved it will look something like the following:
lmb_dump_all:
memory.cnt = 0x2
memory.size = 0x3e80000000
memory.region[0x0].base = 0x0
.size = 0x1e80000000
memory.region[0x1].base = 0x4000000000
.size = 0x2000000000
reserved.cnt = 0x5
reserved.size = 0x3e80000000
reserved.region[0x0].base = 0x0
.size = 0x7b5000
reserved.region[0x1].base = 0x2a00000
.size = 0x78c000
reserved.region[0x2].base = 0x328c000
.size = 0x43000
reserved.region[0x3].base = 0xf4e8000
.size = 0xb18000
reserved.region[0x4].base = 0x4000000000
.size = 0x2000000000
The reserved.region[0x4] contains the 16G pages. In
arch/powerpc/mm/num.c: do_init_bootmem() we loop through each of the
node numbers looking for the reserved regions that belong to the
particular node. It is not able to identify region 0x4 as being a part
of each of the 8 nodes. It is assuming that a reserved region is only
on a single node.
This patch takes out the reserved region loop from inside
the loop that goes over each node. It looks up the active region containing
the start of the reserved region. If it extends past that active region then
it adjusts the size and gets the next active region containing it.

commit 9e41bff2708e420e61e6b89a54c15232857069b1 upstream
Impact: allow /dev/mem mmaps on non-PAT CPUs/platforms
Fix mmap to /dev/mem when CONFIG_X86_PAT is off and CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is
off
mmap to /dev/mem on kernel memory has been failing since the
introduction of PAT (CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=n case). Seems like
the check to avoid cache aliasing with PAT is kicking in even
when PAT is disabled. The bug seems to have crept in 2.6.26.
This patch makes sure that the mmap to regular
kernel memory succeeds if CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=n and
PAT is disabled, and the checks to avoid cache aliasing
still happens if PAT is enabled.

commit da5aae7036692fa8d03da1b705c76fd750ed9e38 upstream
Use sysdev_class_create_file() to create create sysdev class attributes
instead of sysfs_create_file(). Using sysfs_create_file() wasn't a very
good idea since the show and store functions have a different amount of
parameters for sysfs files and sysdev class files.
In particular the pointer to the buffer is the last argument and
therefore accesses to random memory regions happened.
Still worked surprisingly well until we got a kernel panic.

commit 3038edabf48f01421c621cb77a712b446d3a5d67 upstream
x86 ACPI: Fix breakage of resume on 64-bit UP systems with SMP kernel
We are now using per CPU GDT tables in head_64.S and the original
early_gdt_descr.address is invalidated after boot by
setup_per_cpu_areas(). This breaks resume from suspend to RAM on
x86_64 UP systems using SMP kernels, because this part of head_64.S
is also executed during the resume and the invalid GDT address
causes the system to crash. It doesn't break on 'true' SMP systems,
because early_gdt_descr.address is modified every time
native_cpu_up() runs. However, during resume it should point to the
GDT of the boot CPU rather than to another CPU's GDT.
For this reason, during suspend to RAM always make
early_gdt_descr.address point to the boot CPU's GDT.
This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11568, which
is a regression from 2.6.26.

Not in upstream above 2.6.27 due to change in the way this code works
(has been fixed differently there.)
Someone from the community found out, that after repeatedly unloading
and loading a device driver that uses MSI IRQs, the system eventually
assigned the vector initially reserved for IRQ0 to the device driver.
The reason for this is, that although IRQ0 is tied to the
FIRST_DEVICE_VECTOR when declaring the irq_vector table, the
corresponding bit in the used_vectors map is not set. So, if vectors are
released and assigned often enough, the vector will get assigned to
another interrupt. This happens more often with MSI interrupts as those
are exclusively using a vector.
Fix this by setting the bit for the FIRST_DEVICE_VECTOR in the bitmap.

Looking closer at the code path each NMI takes when KGDB is enabled, I

invocation cures the unhandled NMIs here.

There is a bug in the BIOSes of some HP boxes with AMD Turions which
connects IO-APIC pins with ACPI thermal trip points in such a way that
if the state of the IO-APIC is not as expected by the (buggy) BIOS, the
thermal trip points are set to insanely low values (usually all of them
become 16 degrees Celsius). As a result, thermal throttling kicks in
and knock the system down to its shoes.
Unfortunately some of the recent IO-APIC changes made the bug show up.
To prevent this from happening, blacklist machines that are known to be
affected (nx6115 and 6715b in this particular case).
This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11516 listed as
a regression from 2.6.26.

sections, the computation of sym_strtab in walk_relocs() was done
incorrectly. This causes a segfault for some people when building the
relocatable 32-bit kernel.

This fixes a regression that came with 934b2857cc576ae53c92a66e63fce7ddcfa74691
("[S390] nohz/sclp: disable timer on synchronous waits.").
If udelay() gets called from a disabled context it sets the clock comparator
to a value where it expects the next interrupt. When the interrupt happens
the clock comparator gets not reset and therefore the interrupt condition
doesn't get cleared. The result is an endless timer interrupt loop.
In addition this patch fixes also the following:
rcutorture reveals that our __udelay implementation is still buggy,
since it might schedule tasklets, but prevents their execution:
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 42
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 142
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02
To fix this we make sure that only the clock comparator interrupt
is enabled when the enabled wait psw is loaded.
Also no code gets called anymore which might schedule tasklets.

Rework of SMTC support to make it work with the new clock event system,
allowing "tickless" operation, and to make it compatible with the use of
the "wait_irqoff" idle loop. The new clocking scheme means that the
previously optional IPI instant replay mechanism is now required, and has
been made more robust.

Though from a hardware perspective it would be sensible to use only a
32-bit unsigned int type Linux defines interrupt flags to be stored in
an unsigned long and nothing else.

Commit 00c5372d37a78990c1530184a9c792ee60a30067 caused the MPC8544DS
board to hang at boot. The MPC8544DS is unique in that it doesn't use
the PCI slots on the ULI (unlike the MPC8572DS or MPC8610HPCD). So
the dummy read at the end of the address space causes us to hang.
We can detect the situation by comparing the bridge's BARs versus
the root complex.

Fix the IRQ handling on the MN10300 arch.
This patch makes a number of significant changes:
(1) It separates the irq_chip definition for edge-triggered interrupts from
the one for level-triggered interrupts.
This is necessary because the MN10300 PIC latches the IRQ channel's
interrupt request bit (GxICR_REQUEST), even after the device has ceased to
assert its interrupt line and the interrupt channel has been disabled in
the PIC. So for level-triggered interrupts we need to clear this bit when
we re-enable - which is achieved by setting GxICR_DETECT but not
GxICR_REQUEST when writing to the register.
Not doing this results in spurious interrupts occurring because calling
mask_ack() at the start of handle_level_irq() is insufficient - it fails
to clear the REQUEST latch because the device that caused the interrupt is
still asserting its interrupt line at this point.
(2) IRQ disablement [irq_chip::disable_irq()] shouldn't clear the interrupt
request flag for edge-triggered interrupts lest it lose an interrupt.
(3) IRQ unmasking [irq_chip::unmask_irq()] also shouldn't clear the interrupt
request flag for edge-triggered interrupts lest it lose an interrupt.
(4) The end() operation is now left to the default (no-operation) as
__do_IRQ() is compiled out. This may affect misrouted_irq(), but
according to Thomas Gleixner it's the correct thing to do.
(5) handle_level_irq() is used for edge-triggered interrupts rather than
handle_edge_irq() as the MN10300 PIC latches interrupt events even on
masked IRQ channels, thus rendering IRQ_PENDING unnecessary. It is
sufficient to call mask_ack() at the start and unmask() at the end.
(6) For level-triggered interrupts, ack() is now NULL as it's not used, and
there is no effective ACK function on the PIC. mask_ack() is now the
same as mask() as the latch continues to latch, even when the channel is
masked.
Further, the patch discards the disable() op implementation as its now the same
as the mask() op implementation, which is used instead.
It also discards the enable() op implementations as they're now the same as
the unmask() op implementations, which are used instead.

This one took a long time to rear up because LDT usage is not very
common, but the bug is quite serious. It got introduced along with
another bug, already fixed, by 75b8bb3e56ca09a467fbbe5229bc68627f7445be
After investigating a JRE failure, I found this bug was introduced a long time
ago, and had already managed to survive another bugfix which occurred on the
same line. The result is a total failure of the JRE due to LDT selectors not
working properly.
