Since commit 4cb3cee0 the code generated for the in_beXX() and out_beXX() mmio functions has been sub-optimal. The out_leXX() family of functions are created with the macro DEF_MMIO_OUT_LE() while the out_beXX() family are created with DEF_MMIO_OUT_BE(). In what was perhaps a bit too much macro use, both of these macros are in turn created via the macro DEF_MMIO_OUT(). For the LE versions, eventually they boil down to an asm that will look something like this: asm("sync; stwbrx %1,0,%2" : "=m" (*addr) : "r" (val), "r" (addr)); The issue is that the "stwbrx" instruction only comes in an indexed, or 'x', version, in which the address is represented by the sum of two registers (the "0,%2"). Unfortunately, gcc doesn't have a constraint for an indexed memory reference. The "m" constraint allows both indexed and offset, i.e. register plus constant, memory references and there is no "stwbr" version for offset references. "m" also allows updating addresses and there is no 'u' version of "stwbrx" like there is with "stwux". The unused first operand to the asm is just to tell gcc that *addr is an output of the asm. The address used is passed in a single register via the third asm operand, and the index register is just hard coded as 0. This means gcc is forced to put the address in a single register and can't use index addressing, e.g. if one has the data in register 9, a base address in register 3 and an index in register 4, gcc must emit code like "add 11,4,3; stwbrx 9,0,11" instead of just "stwbrx 9,4,3". This costs an extra add instruction and another register. For gcc 4.0 and older, there doesn't appear to be anything that can be done. But for 4.1 and newer, there is a 'Z' constraint. It does not allow "updating" addresses, but does allow both indexed and offset addresses. However, the only allowed constant offset is 0. We can then use the undocumented 'y' operand modifier, which causes gcc to convert "0(reg)" into the equivilient "0,reg" format that can be used with stwbrx. This brings us the to problem with the BE version. In this case, the "stw" instruction does have both indexed and non-indexed versions. The final asm ends up looking like this: asm("sync; stw%U0%X0 %1,%0" : "=m" (*addr) : "r" (val), "r" (addr)); The undocumented codes "%U0" and "%0X" will generate a 'u' if the memory reference should be an auto-updating one, and an 'x' if the memory reference is indexed, respectively. The third operand is unused, it's just there because asm the code is reused from the LE version. However, gcc does not know this, and generates unnecessary code to stick addr in a register! To use the example from the LE version, gcc will generate "add 11,4,3; stwx 9,4,3". It is able to use the indexed address "4,3" for the "stwx", but still thinks it needs to put 4+3 into register 11, which will never be used. This also ends up happening a lot for the offset addressing mode, where common code like this: out_be32(&device_registers->some_register, data); uses an instruction like "stw 9, 42(3)", where register 3 has the pointer device_registers and 42 is the offset of some_register in that structure. gcc will be forced to generate the unnecessary instruction "addi 11, 3, 42" to put the address into a single (unused) register. The in_* versions end up having these exact same problems as well.

When I changed irq_alloc_host() to take an of_node (52964f87: "Add an optional device_node pointer to the irq_host"), I botched the reference counting semantics. Stephen pointed out that it's irq_alloc_host()'s business if it needs to take an additional reference to the device_node, the caller shouldn't need to care.

The ehea driver was recently changed[1] to use walk_memory_resource() to detect the system's memory layout. However, walk_memory_resource() is available only when memory hotplug is enabled. So CONFIG_EHEA was made to depend on MEMORY_HOTPLUG [2], but it is inappropriate for a network driver to have such a dependency. Make the declaration of walk_memory_resource() and its powerpc implementation (ehea is powerpc-specific) unconditionally available.

When building a signal or a ucontext, we can incorrectly set the MSR_VEC bit of the kernel pt_regs->msr before returning to userspace if the task -ever- used VMX. This can lead to funny result if that stack used it in the past, then "lost" it (ie. it wasn't enabled after a context switch for example) and then called get_context. It can end up with VMX enabled and the registers containing values from some other task.

Packet sending is driven by two flags, tx_ready and tx_queued. It was possible, that there were queued data for sending and hardware was flagged as blocked but in fact it was not. The tx_queued was indicator but should be really a counter else first fragmented packet resets tx_queued flag, but there may be pending packets which do not get sent. New semantics: tx_ready - set, if hw is ready to send packet, no packet is being transferred right now set the flag right at the place where data are copied into hw memory and not earlier without checking if it was succesful tx_queued - count of enqueued packets, including fragments Tested-by: Michal Rokos <michal.rokos@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Since I figure that there will be more people reading this kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt file who are kernel developers focused on the rest of the kernel, than there will be readers of this file who are documentation developers extracting that embedded kernel-doc documentation, I have taken the liberty of making the new section added here: How to format kernel-doc comments the first section of the kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt file.
