A proper fix would involve introducing the notion of shared caches but at this stage of 2.6.17 that's going to be too intrusive and not needed for current hardware; aside I think some discussion will be needed. So for now on the affected SMP configurations which happen to suffer from cache aliases we make use of the fact that a single cache will be shared by all processors. This solves the deadlock issue and will improve performance by getting rid of the smp_call_function overhead. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

The "system type" Kconfig options on MIPS are not consistent. For some platforms, only the name is listed while other entries are prepended with "Support for". Remove this as it doesn't make sense when describing the "system type". Signed-off-by: Martin Michlmayr <tbm@cyrius.com> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

When debugging a kernel compiled by gcc 4.1 with gdb 6.4, gdb could not show filename, linenumber, etc. It seems fixed if I used generic DWARF_DEBUG macro. Although gcc 3.x seems work without this change, it would be better to use the generic macro unless there were something MIPS specific.

In case of CONFIG_64BIT_PHYS_ADDR, set_pte() and pte_clear() functions only set _PAGE_GLOBAL bit in the pte_low field of the buddy PTEs, forgetting to propagate ito to pte_high. Thus, the both pages might not really be made global for the CPU (since it AND's the G-bit of the odd / even PTEs together to decide whether they're global or not). Thus, if only a single page is allocated via vmalloc() or ioremap(), it's not really global for CPU (and it must be, since this is kernel mapping), and thus its ASID is compared against the current process' one -- so, we'll get into trouble sooner or later... Also, pte_none() will fail on global pages because _PAGE_GLOBAL bit is set in both pte_low and pte_high, and pte_val() will return u64 value consisting of those fields concateneted.

common/au1000/irq.c was missing a mips_timer_interrupt() prototype, whereas in common/au1000/time.c the actual mips_timer_interrupt() implementation was missing an irq_exit() invocation, causing a preempt_count() leak.

We don't enable the BTB on the ixp2350 as that can cause weird crashes (erratum #42.) However, some bootloaders enable the BTB, which means that we have to disable the BTB explicitly.

This reverts commit 5491d0f3. As per Andi: "After some discussion with people who have the affected system it seems best to revert for 2.6.17. It broke a common BIOS workaround and PCI-X still doesn't work. Alternative is for people to change the BIOS which seems to be better right now." Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

From: Robert Hentosh <robert_hentosh@dell.com> Actually, we just stumbled on a different bug found in find_e820_area() in e820.c. The following code does not handle the edge condition correctly: while (bad_addr(&addr, size) && addr+size < ei->addr + ei->size) ; last = addr + size; if ( last > ei->addr + ei->size ) continue; The second statement in the while loop needs to be a <= b so that it is the logical negavite of the if (a > b) outside it. It needs to read: while (bad_addr(&addr, size) && addr+size <= ei->addr + ei->size) ; In the case that failed bad_addr was returning an address that is exactly size bellow the end of the e820 range. AK: Again together with the earlier avoid edma fix this fixes boot on a Dell PE6850/16GB Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Daniel Yeisley authored
From: Daniel Yeisley <dan.yeisley@unisys.com> It is possible to boot a Unisys ES7000 with CPUs from multiple cells, and not also include the memory from those cells. This can create a scenario where node 0 has cpus, but no associated memory. The system will boot fine in a configuration where node 0 has memory, but nodes 2 and 3 do not. [AK: I rechecked the code and generic code seems to indeed handle that already. Dan's original patch had a change for mm/slab.c that seems to be already in now.] Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

From: "Jan Beulich" <jbeulich@novell.com> The PM timer code updates vxtime.last_tsc, but this update was done incorrectly in two ways: - offset_delay being in microseconds requires multiplying with cpu_mhz rather than cpu_khz - the multiplication of offset_delay and cpu_khz (both being 32-bit values) on most current CPUs would overflow (observed value of the delay was approximately 4000us, yielding an overflow for frequencies starting a little above 1GHz) Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

From: "Jan Beulich" <jbeulich@novell.com> When using apic= on the kernel command line, this had no effect for machines matched by either the ACPI MADT or the MPS OEM table scan. However, when such option is specified, it should also take effect for this set of systems.

ia32_setup_arg_pages would ignore the passed in random stack top and use its own static value. Now it uses the 8bit of randomness native i386 would use too. This indirectly fixes mmap randomization for 32bit processes too, which depends on the stack randomization. Should also give slightly better virtual cache colouring and possibly better performance with HyperThreading.

Wasn't able to reproduce a hard hang, but was able to get an oops if suspended the machine during a copy to the cifs mount. This led to some things hanging, including a "sync". Also got I/O errors when trying to access the mount afterwards (even when didn't see the oops), and had to unmount and remount in order to access the filesystem. This patch fixed the oops.
