Tracked this down on an Ultra Enterprise 3000. It's a 6-way machine. Odd thing about this machine (and it's good for finding bugs like this) is that the CPU id's are not 0 based. For instance, on my machine the CPU's are 6/7/10/11/14/15. This caused some NULL pointer dereference in kernel/workqueue.c because for single_threaded workqueue's, it hardcoded the cpu to 0. I changed the 0's to any_online_cpu(cpu_online_mask), which cpumask.h claims is "First cpu in mask". So this fits the same usage.

Remove bogus usage of test/set_bit() from fbcon rotation code and just manipulate the bits directly. This fixes an oops on powerpc among others and should be faster.

The attached patch implements a bunch of small changes to the FRV arch to make it work again. It deals with the following problems: (1) SEM_DEBUG should be SEMAPHORE_DEBUG. (2) The argument list to pcibios_penalize_isa_irq() has changed. (3) CONFIG_HIGHMEM can't be used directly in #if as it may not be defined. (4) page->private is no longer directly accessible. (5) linux/hardirq.h assumes asm/hardirq.h will include linux/irq.h (6) The IDE MMIO access functions are given pointers, not integers, and so get type casting errors. (7) __pa() is passed an explicit u64 type in drivers/char/mem.c, but that can't be cast directly to a pointer on a 32-bit platform. (8) SEMAPHORE_DEBUG should not be contingent on WAITQUEUE_DEBUG as that no longer exists. (9) PREEMPT_ACTIVE is too low a value.

There are some callers in cpufreq hotplug notify path that the lowest function calls lock_cpu_hotplug(). The lock is already held during cpu_up() and cpu_down() calls when the notify calls are broadcast to registered clients. Ideally if possible, we could disable_preempt() at the highest caller and make sure we dont sleep in the path down in cpufreq->driver_target() calls but the calls are so intertwined and cumbersome to cleanup. Hence we consistently use lock_cpu_hotplug() and unlock_cpu_hotplug() in all places. - Removed export of cpucontrol semaphore and made it static. - removed explicit uses of up/down with lock_cpu_hotplug() so we can keep track of the the callers in same thread context and just keep refcounts without calling a down() that causes a deadlock. - Removed current_in_hotplug() uses - Removed PF_HOTPLUG_CPU in sched.h introduced for the current_in_hotplug() temporary workaround. Tested with insmod of cpufreq_stat.ko, and logical online/offline to make sure we dont have any hang situations.

Apparently the old compiler avoids generating calls to __pud_alloc and __pmd_alloc but still lists them as undefined references in the module's symbol table. I don't know which change caused this problem. I think it was added somewhere between 2.6.14 and 2.6.15-rc1, because I remember building several 2.6.14-rc kernels without difficulty. However I can't point to an individual culprit. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Linus Torvalds authored
This replaces the (in my opinion horrible) VM_UNMAPPED logic with very explicit support for a "remapped page range" aka VM_PFNMAP. It allows a VM area to contain an arbitrary range of page table entries that the VM never touches, and never considers to be normal pages. Any user of "remap_pfn_range()" automatically gets this new functionality, and doesn't even have to mark the pages reserved or indeed mark them any other way. It just works. As a side effect, doing mmap() on /dev/mem works for arbitrary ranges. Sparc update from David in the next commit. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

In cases where the server has gone insane, nfs_update_inode() may end up calling nfs_invalidate_inode(), which again calls stuff that takes the inode->i_lock that we're already holding. In addition, given the sort of things we have in NFS these days that need to be cleaned up on inode release, I'm not sure we should ever be calling make_bad_inode(). Fix up spinlock recursion, and limit nfs_invalidate_inode() to clearing the caches, and marking the inode as being stale. Thanks to Steve Dickson <SteveD@redhat.com> for spotting this.

Blah. The patch [0] I recently sent fixing errors with in_hugepage_area() and prepare_hugepage_range() for powerpc itself has an off-by-one bug. Furthermore, the related functions touches_hugepage_*_range() and within_hugepage_*_range() are also buggy. Some of the bugs, like those addressed in [0] originated with commit 7d24f0b8 where we tweaked the semantics of where hugepages are allowed. Other bugs have been there essentially forever, and are due to the undefined behaviour of '<<' with shift counts greater than the type width (LOW_ESID_MASK could return non-zero for high ranges with the right congruences). The good news is that I now have a testsuite which should pick up things like this if they creep in again.

A fix for a locking bug which is triggered when a client tries to lock with flag DMA_QUIESCENT (typically the X server), but gets interrupted by a signal. The locking IOCTL should then return an error, but if DMA_QUIESCENT succeeds it returns 0, and the client falsely thinks it has the lock. In addition The client waits for DMA_QUISCENT and possibly DMA_READY without having the lock. From: Thomas Hellstrom Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@linux.ie>

This should fix a suspend/resume issues that appear with OHCI on some PPC hardware. The PCI layer should doesn't have the hooks needed for such ASIC-specific hooks (in this case, software clock gating), so this moves the code to do that into hcd-pci.c ... where it can be done after the relevant PCI PM state transition (to/from D3).

David Brownell authored
Moving the PCI-specific parts of the EHCI driver into their own file created a few issues ... notably on resume paths which (like swsusp) require re-initializing the controller. This patch: - Splits the EHCI startup code into run-once HCD setup code and separate "init the hardware" reinit code. (That reinit code is a superset of the "early usb handoff" code.) - Then it makes the PCI init code run both, and the resume code only run the reinit code. - It also removes needless pci wrappers around EHCI start/stop methods. - Removes a byteswap issue that would be seen on big-endian hardware. The HCD glue still doesn't actually provide a good way to do all this run-one init stuff in one place though.
