This should fix an oops with PCMCIA PATA devices http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8424 This is not a full fix for the problem, but probably still the right thing to do. [ I'm almost certain it's *not* the right thing to do, but it avoids an oops, and I want comments from others on what the right thing would actually be.. I suspect we should just remove the use of dma_mask entirely in this function, and just use coherent_dma_mask. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

If the forcedeth driver receives too much work in an interrupt, it assumes it has a broken hardware with stuck IRQ. It works around the problem by disabling interrupts on the nic but makes a printk while holding device spinlog - which isn't smart thing to do if you have netconsole on the same nic. This patch moves the printk's out of the spinlock protected area. Without this patch the machine hangs hard. With this patch everything still works even when there is significant increase on CPU usage while using the nic.

Use cpu_relax() in the busy loops, as atomic_read() doesn't automatically imply volatility for i386 and x86_64. x86_64 doesn't have this issue because it open-codes the while loop in smpboot.c:smp_callin() itself that already uses cpu_relax(). For i386, however, smpboot.c:smp_callin() calls wait_for_init_deassert() which is buggy for mach-default and mach-es7000 cases. [ I test-built a kernel -- smp_callin() itself got inlined in its only callsite, smpboot.c:start_secondary() -- and the relevant piece of code disassembles to the following: 0xc1019704 <start_secondary+12>: mov 0xc144c4c8,%eax 0xc1019709 <start_secondary+17>: test %eax,%eax 0xc101970b <start_secondary+19>: je 0xc1019709 <start_secondary+17> init_deasserted (at 0xc144c4c8) gets fetched into %eax only once and then we loop over the test of the stale value in the register only, so these look like real bugs to me. With the fix below, this becomes: 0xc1019706 <start_secondary+14>: pause 0xc1019708 <start_secondary+16>: cmpl $0x0,0xc144c4c8 0xc101970f <start_secondary+23>: je 0xc1019706 <start_secondary+14> which looks nice and healthy. ] Thanks to Heiko Carstens for noticing this.

The underflow exception cases were wrong. This is one weird area of ieee1754 handling in that the underflow behavior changes based upon whether underflow is enabled in the trap enable mask of the FPU control register. As a specific case the Sparc V9 manual gives us the following description: -------------------- If UFM = 0: Underflow occurs if a nonzero result is tiny and a loss of accuracy occurs. Tininess may be detected before or after rounding. Loss of accuracy may be either a denormalization loss or an inexact result. If UFM = 1: Underflow occurs if a nonzero result is tiny. Tininess may be detected before or after rounding. -------------------- What this amounts to in the packing case is if we go subnormal, we set underflow if any of the following are true: 1) rounding sets inexact 2) we ended up rounding back up to normal (this is the case where we set the exponent to 1 and set the fraction to zero), this should set inexact too 3) underflow is set in FPU control register trap-enable mask The initially discovered example was "DBL_MIN / 16.0" which incorrectly generated an underflow. It should not, unless underflow is set in the trap-enable mask of the FPU csr. Another example, "0x0.0000000000001p-1022 / 16.0", should signal both inexact and underflow. The cpu implementations and ieee1754 literature is very clear about this. This is case #2 above. However, if underflow is set in the trap enable mask, only underflow should be set and reported as a trap. That is handled properly by the prioritization logic in arch/sparc{,64}/math-emu/math.c:record_exception(). Based upon a report and test case from Jakub Jelinek. Signed-off-by: David S.

There is a bug in the ia64_do_page_fault code that can cause a failure to grow the register backing store, or any mapping that is marked as VM_GROWSUP if the mapping is the highest mapped area of memory. When the address accessed is below the first mapping the previous mapping is returned as NULL, and this case is handled. However, when the address accessed is above the highest mapping the vma returned is NULL, this case is not handled correctly, and it fails to spot that this access might require an existing mapping to grow upwards.

The core cpufreq code doesn't appear to understand returning -EAGAIN for the get() function of the cpufreq_driver. If PAL_GET_PSTATE returns -1, such as when running on Xen, scaling_cur_freq is happy to return 4294967285 kHz (ie. (unsigned)-11). The other drivers appear to return 0 for a failure, and doing so gives me the max frequency from scaling_cur_frequency and "<unknown>" from cpuinfo_cur_frequency. I believe that's the desired behavior.

Add empty definition of mmiowb() since some drivers need it. Uncached writes are strongly ordered on AVR32. They may be delayed if the dcache is busy doing a writeback, but AFAICT that's not what this macro is supposed to deal with, at least on UP systems. We might have to revisit this definition when a SMP-capable AVR32 CPU comes along, depending on how the busses and cache coherency stuff end up being implemented.

The current definition of pte_page() masks out valid bits from the physical address, causing vmalloc_to_page() to misbehave.
