The size of the pm_signal_local array should be equal to the number of SPUs being configured in the array. Currently, the array is of size 4 (NR_PHYS_CTRS) but being indexed by a for loop from 0 to 7 (NUM_SPUS_PER_NODE). This could potentially cause an oops or random memory corruption since the pm_signal_local array is on the stack. This fixes it. Signed-off-by:

The Freescale implementation of MPIC only allows a single CPU destination for non-IPI interrupts. We add a flag to the mpic_init to distinquish these variants of MPIC. We pull in the irq_choose_cpu from sparc64 to select a single CPU as the destination of the interrupt. This is to deal with the fact that the default smp affinity was changed by commit 18404756 ("genirq: Expose default irq affinity mask (take 3)") to be all CPUs. Signed-off-by:

After the merge of the 32 and 64bit DMA code, dma_direct_ops lost their map/unmap_single() functions but gained map/unmap_page(). This caused a problem for Cell because Cell's dma_iommu_fixed_ops called the dma_direct_ops if the fixed linear mapping was to be used or the iommu ops if the dynamic window was to be used. So in order to fix this problem we need to update the 64bit DMA code to use map/unmap_page. First, we update the generic IOMMU code so that iommu_map_single() becomes iommu_map_page() and iommu_unmap_single() becomes iommu_unmap_page(). Then we propagate these changes up through all the callers of these two functions and in the process update all the dma_mapping_ops so that they have map/unmap_page rahter than map/unmap_single. We can do this because on 64bit there is no HIGHMEM memory so map/unmap_page ends up performing exactly the same function as map/unmap_single, just taking different arguments. This has no affect on drivers because the dma_map_single_attrs() just ends up calling the map_page() function of the appropriate dma_mapping_ops and similarly the dma_unmap_single_attrs() calls unmap_page(). This fixes an oops on Cell blades, which oops on boot without this because they call dma_direct_ops.map_single, which is NULL. Signed-off-by:

A typo/thinko made us pass the wrong argument to __flush_hash_table_range when unplugging bridges, thus not flushing all the translations for the IO space on unplug. The third parameter to __flush_hash_table_range is `end', not `size'. This causes the hypervisor to refuse unplugging slots. Signed-off-by:

Resources for PHB's that are dynamically added to a system are not properly allocated in the resource tree. Not having these resources allocated causes an oops when removing the PHB when we try to release them. The diff appears a bit messy, this is mainly due to moving everything one tab to the left in the pcibios_allocate_bus_resources routine. The functionality change in this routine is only that the list_for_each_entry() loop is pulled out and moved to the necessary calling routine. Signed-off-by:

Currently, the numa_node of OF-devices will be overwritten during device_register, which simply sets the node to -1. On cell machines, this means that devices can't find their IOMMU, which is referenced through the device's numa node. Set the numa node for OF devices with no parent, and use the lower-level device_initialize and device_add functions, so that the node is preserved. We can remove the call to set_dev_node in of_device_alloc, as it will be overwritten during register. Signed-off-by:

Since VSX support was added, we now have two sizes of ucontext_t; the older, smaller size without the extra VSX state, and the new larger size with the extra VSX state. A program using the sys_swapcontext system call and supplying smaller ucontext_t structures will currently get an EINVAL error if the task has used VSX (e.g. because of calling library code that uses VSX) and the old_ctx argument is non-NULL (i.e. the program is asking for its current context to be saved). Thus the program will start getting EINVAL errors on calls that previously worked. This commit changes this behaviour so that we don't send an EINVAL in this case. It will now return the smaller context but the VSX MSR bit will always be cleared to indicate that the ucontext_t doesn't include the extra VSX state, even if the task has executed VSX instructions. Both 32 and 64 bit cases are updated. [paulus@samba.org - also fix some access_ok() and get_user() calls] Thanks to Ben Herrenschmidt for noticing this problem. Signed-off-by:

Commit 549e8152 ("powerpc: Make the 64-bit kernel as a position-independent executable") added lines to vmlinux.lds.S to add the extra sections needed to implement a relocatable kernel. However, those lines seem to trigger a bug in older versions of GNU ld (such as 2.16.1) when building a non-relocatable kernel. Since ld 2.16.1 is still a popular choice for cross-toolchains, this adds an #ifdef to vmlinux.lds.S so the added lines are only included when building a relocatable kernel. Signed-off-by:

The __kdump_flag ABI is overly constraining for future development. As of 2.6.27, the kernel entry point has 4 constraints: Offset 0 is the starting point for the master (boot) cpu (entered with r3 pointing to the device tree structure), offset 0x60 is code for the slave cpus (entered with r3 set to their device tree physical id), offset 0x20 is used by the iseries hypervisor, and secondary cpus must be well behaved when the first 256 bytes are copied to address 0. Placing the __kdump_flag at 0x18 is bad because: - It was taking the last 8 bytes before the iseries hypervisor data. - It was 8 bytes for a boolean flag - It had no way of identifying that the flag was present - It does leave any room for the master to add any additional code before branching, which hurts debug. - It will be unnecessarily hard for 32 bit code to be common (8 bytes) Now that we have eliminated the use of __kdump_flag in favor of the standard is_kdump_kernel(), this flag only controls run without relocating the kernel to PHYSICAL_START (0), so rename it __run_at_load. Move the flag to 0x5c, 1 word before the secondary cpu entry point at 0x60. Initialize it with "run0" to say it will run at 0 unless it is set to 1. It only exists if we are relocatable.

linux/crash_dump.h defines is_kdump_kernel() to be used by code that needs to know if the previous kernel crashed instead of a (clean) boot or reboot. This updates the just added powerpc code to use it. This is needed for the next commit, which will remove __kdump_flag. Signed-off-by:

Commit 54622f10 ("powerpc: Support for relocatable kdump kernel") added a magic flag value in a register to tell purgatory that it should be a panic kernel. This part is wrong and is reverted by this commit. The kernel gets a list of memory blocks and a entry point from user space. Its job is to copy the blocks into place and then branch to the designated entry point (after turning "off" the mmu). The user space tool inserts a trampoline, called purgatory, that runs before the user supplied code. Its job is to establish the entry environment for the new kernel or other application based on the contents of memory. The purgatory code is compiled and embedded in the tool, where it is later patched using the elf symbol table using elf symbols. Since the tool knows it is creating a purgatory that will run after a kernel crash, it should just patch purgatory (or the kernel directly) if something needs to happen. Signed-off-by:

In commit f337b9c5 ("epoll: drop unnecessary test") Thomas found that there is an unnecessary (always true) test in ep_send_events(). The callback never inserts into ->rdllink while the send loop is performed, and also does the ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS test. Given we're holding the mutex during this time, the conditions tested inside the loop are always true. HOWEVER. The test "!ep_is_linked(&epi->rdllink)" wasn't there because we insert into ->rdllink, but because the send-events loop might terminate before the whole list is scanned (-EFAULT). In such cases, when the loop terminates early, and when a (leftover) file received an event while we're performing the lockless loop, we need such test to avoid to double insert the epoll items. The list_splice() done a few steps below, will correctly re-insert the ones that were left on "txlist". This should fix the kenrel.org bugzilla entry 11831. Signed-off-by:

Some userland apps seem to pass in a "0" for the seconds, and several seconds worth of usecs to select(). The old kernels accepted this just fine, so the new kernels must too. However, due to the upscaling of the microseconds to nanoseconds we had some cases where we got math overflow, and depending on the GCC version (due to inlining decisions) that actually resulted in an -EINVAL return. This patch fixes this by adding the excess microseconds to the seconds field. Also with thanks to Marcin Slusarz for spotting some implementation bugs in the diagnostics patches. Reported-by:

The default for the regulatory compatibility option is wrong; if you picked the default you ended up with a non-functional wifi system (at least I did on Fedora 9 with iwl4965). I don't think even the October 2008 releases of the various distros has the new userland so clearly the default is wrong, and also we can't just go about deleting this in 2.6.29... Change the default to "y" and also adjust the config text a little to reflect this. This patch fixes regression #11859 With thanks to Johannes Berg for the diagnostics Signed-off-by:

This reverts commit 7bf6bf48. The code has both a short existence and an increasing track of failures despite some work to amend it for -rc1. It is not just a matter of reading the eeprom: sometimes the eeprom is read correctly, then the mac address is not written correctly back into the mac registers. Some chipsets seem to work reliably but it is not clear at this point if the code can simply be made to work on a per-chipset basis and post -rc1 is not the place where I want to experiment these things.

If you use KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG (even with empty file) you get broken allmodconfig/allyesconfig; CONFIG_MODULES gets turned off, with obvious massive fallout. Breakage had been introduced when conf_set_all_new_symbols() got used for allmodconfig et.al. What happens is that sym_calc_value(modules_sym) done in conf_read_simple() sets SYMBOL_VALID on both modules_sym and MODULES. When we get to conf_set_all_new_symbols(), we set sym->def[S_DEF_USER] on everything, but it has no effect on sym->curr for the symbols that already have SYMBOL_VALID - these are stuck. Solution: use sym_clear_all_valid() in there. Note that it makes reevaluation of modules_sym redundant - sym_clear_all_valid() will do that itself.

As the probable result of zealous copy/pasting, many supported boards contain sensor names with trailing whitespace. Though this is not a huge problem, it is inconsistent with other sensor names, and with other similar hwmon drivers. Additionally, the DMI nag message added in 2.6.27 was missing a space between two sentence fragments -- might as well clean that up too. Doesn't alter any kernel text, just data. Signed-off-by:

The LM99 differs from the LM86, LM89 and LM90 in that it reports remote temperatures (temp2) 16 degrees lower than they really are. So far we have been cheating and handled this in userspace but it really should be handled by the driver directly. Signed-off-by: -
Jean Delvare authored
There are several problems in the way the hysteresis value is handled by the lm90 driver: * In show_temphyst(), specific handling of the MAX6646 is missing, so the hysteresis is reported incorrectly if the critical temperature is over 127 degrees C. * In set_temphyst(), the new hysteresis register value is written to the chip but data->temp_hyst isn't updated accordingly, so there is a short period of time (up to 2 seconds) where the old hystereris value will be returned while the new one is already active. * In set_temphyst(), the critical temperature which is used as a base to compute the value of the hysteresis register lacks device-specific handling. As a result, the value of the hysteresis register might be incorrect for the ADT7461 and MAX6646 chips. Fix these 3 bugs. Signed-off-by: -

This reverts commit a802dd0e by moving the call to init_workqueues() back where it belongs - after SMP has been initialized. It also moves stop_machine_init() - which needs workqueues - to a later phase using a core_initcall() instead of early_initcall(). That should satisfy all ordering requirements, and was apparently the reason why init_workqueues() was moved to be too early.
