      [MIPS] Alchemy: SMBus resource fix · 8e07c2c6
      Sergei Shtylyov authored
      The Alchemy platform code registers the SMBus device using the virtual
      address of its registers instead of the physical one -- fix this, taking
      into account that actually the whole megabyte is decoded by any of the
      programmable serial controllers (one of which is SMBus), and that all the
      Alchemy peripherals are directly mappable into KSEG1 kernel space and
      therefore ioremap() call would just boil down to CKSEG1ADDR() invocation.

      Add new 'cond_resched_bkl()' helper function · c3921ab7
      Linus Torvalds authored
      It acts exactly like a regular 'cond_resched()', but will not get
      optimized away when CONFIG_PREEMPT is set.
      
      Normal kernel code is already preemptable in the presense of
      CONFIG_PREEMPT, so cond_resched() is optimized away (see commit
      02b67cc3 "sched: do not do
      cond_resched() when CONFIG_PREEMPT").
      
      But when wanting to conditionally reschedule while holding a lock, you
      need to use "cond_sched_lock(lock)", and the new function is the BKL
      equivalent of that.
      
      Also make fs/locks.c use it.

      i2c: Match dummy devices by type · 60b129d7
      Jean Delvare authored
      As the old driver_name/type matching scheme is going away soon, change
      the dummy device mechanism to use the new matching scheme.
      
      This has the downside that dummy i2c clients can no longer choose
      their name, they'll all appear as "dummy" in sysfs and in log
      messages. I don't think it is a problem in practice though, as there
      is little reason to use these i2c clients to log messages.

      i2c: Improve smbus-protocol documentation · 1a31a88f
      David Brownell authored
      Improve the smbus-protocol documentation file somewhat:
      
       - Use the names of the SMBus protocol operations (from the 2.0
         specification), not made-up-for-Linux names.
      
       - Add the name of the call used to execute each operation ... and
         point out that there are mismatches, where functions execute
         different protocol operations than their names specify.
         
      The most confusing examples are that "Read Byte" isn't executed by
      i2c_smbus_read_byte(), and that "Write Byte" isn't executed by
      i2c_smbus_write_byte().  When coding, that's not as bad as it may
      seem; but that case would seem to be worth fixing.

      We had a report that running sensors-detect on a Sapphire AM2RD790
      motherbord killed the CPU. While the exact cause is still unknown,
      I'd rather play it safe and prevent any access to the SMBus on that
      machine by not letting the i2c-piix4 driver attach to the SMBus host
      device on that machine. Also blacklist a similar board made by DFI.

      i2c-piix4: Increase the intitial delay for the ServerWorks CSB5 · b1c1759c
      David Milburn authored
      Per the PIIX4 errata, there maybe a delay between setting the
      start bit in the Smbus Host Controller Register and the transaction
      actually starting. If the driver doesn't delay long enough, it
      may appear that the transaction is complete when actually it
      hasn't started, this may lead to bus collisions.
      
      While 1 ms appears to be enough for most chips, the ServerWorks CSB5
      wants 2 ms.

      sparc: Fix debugger syscall restart interactions. · 28e61036
      David S. Miller authored
      So, forever, we've had this ptrace_signal_deliver implementation
      which tries to handle all of the nasties that can occur when the
      debugger looks at a process about to take a signal.  It's meant
      to address all of these issues inside of the kernel so that the
      debugger need not be mindful of such things.
      
      Problem is, this doesn't work.
      
      The idea was that we should do the syscall restart business first, so
      that the debugger captures that state.  Otherwise, if the debugger for
      example saves the child's state, makes the child execute something
      else, then restores the saved state, we won't handle the syscall
      restart properly because we lose the "we're in a syscall" state.
      
      The code here worked for most cases, but if the debugger actually
      passes the signal through to the child unaltered, it's possible that
      we would do a syscall restart when we shouldn't have.
      
      In particular this breaks the case of debugging a process under a gdb
      which is being debugged by yet another gdb.  gdb uses sigsuspend
      to wait for SIGCHLD of the inferior, but if gdb itself is being
      debugged by a top-level gdb we get a ptrace_stop().  The top-level gdb
      does a PTRACE_CONT with SIGCHLD to let the inferior gdb see the
      signal.  But ptrace_signal_deliver() assumed the debugger would cancel
      out the signal and therefore did a syscall restart, because the return
      error was ERESTARTNOHAND.
      
      Fix this by simply making ptrace_signal_deliver() a nop, and providing
      a way for the debugger to control system call restarting properly:
      
      1) Report a "in syscall" software bit in regs->{tstate,psr}.
         It is set early on in trap entry to a system call and is fully
         visible to the debugger via ptrace() and regsets.
      
      2) Test this bit right before doing a syscall restart.  We have
         to do a final recheck right after get_signal_to_deliver() in
         case the debugger cleared the bit during ptrace_stop().
      
      3) Clear the bit in trap return so we don't accidently try to set
         that bit in the real register.
      
      As a result we also get a ptrace_{is,clear}_syscall() for sparc32 just
      like sparc64 has.
      
      M68K has this same exact bug, and is now the only other user of the
      ptrace_signal_deliver hook.  It needs to be fixed in the same exact
      way as sparc.

      Forever we had a PTRACE_SUNOS_DETACH which was unconditionally
      recognized, regardless of the personality of the process.
      
      Unfortunately, this value is what ended up in the GLIBC sys/ptrace.h
      header file on sparc as PTRACE_DETACH and PT_DETACH.
      
      So continue to recognize this old value.  Luckily, it doesn't conflict
      with anything we actually care about.

      BKL: revert back to the old spinlock implementation · 8e3e076c
      Linus Torvalds authored
      The generic semaphore rewrite had a huge performance regression on AIM7
      (and potentially other BKL-heavy benchmarks) because the generic
      semaphores had been rewritten to be simple to understand and fair.  The
      latter, in particular, turns a semaphore-based BKL implementation into a
      mess of scheduling.
      
      The attempt to fix the performance regression failed miserably (see the
      previous commit 00b41ec2 'Revert
      "semaphore: fix"'), and so for now the simple and sane approach is to
      instead just go back to the old spinlock-based BKL implementation that
      never had any issues like this.
      
      This patch also has the advantage of being reported to fix the
      regression completely according to Yanmin Zhang, unlike the semaphore
      hack which still left a couple percentage point regression.
      
      As a spinlock, the BKL obviously has the potential to be a latency
      issue, but it's not really any different from any other spinlock in that
      respect.  We do want to get rid of the BKL asap, but that has been the
      plan for several years.
      
      These days, the biggest users are in the tty layer (open/release in
      particular) and Alan holds out some hope:
      
        "tty release is probably a few months away from getting cured - I'm
         afraid it will almost certainly be the very last user of the BKL in
         tty to get fixed as it depends on everything else being sanely locked."
      
      so while we're not there yet, we do have a plan of action.

      Revert "semaphore: fix" · 00b41ec2
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This reverts commit bf726eab, as it has
      been reported to cause a regression with processes stuck in __down(),
      apparently because some missing wakeup.
      
      Quoth Sven Wegener:
       "I'm currently investigating a regression that has showed up with my
        last git pull yesterday.  Bisecting the commits showed bf726e
        "semaphore: fix" to be the culprit, reverting it fixed the issue.
      
        Symptoms: During heavy filesystem usage (e.g.  a kernel compile) I get
        several compiler processes in uninterruptible sleep, blocking all i/o
        on the filesystem.  System is an Intel Core 2 Quad running a 64bit
        kernel and userspace.  Filesystem is xfs on top of lvm.  See below for
        the output of sysrq-w."
      
      See
      
      	http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/10/45
      
      for full report.
      
      In the meantime, we can just fix the BKL performance regression by
      reverting back to the good old BKL spinlock implementation instead,
      since any sleeping lock will generally perform badly, especially if it
      tries to be fair.
