Plip passes a string "name" that is allocated on stack to parport_register_device. parport_register_device holds the pointer to "name" and when the registering function exits, it points nowhere. On some machine, this bug causes bad names to appear in /proc, such as /proc/sys/dev/parport/parport0/devices/T^/�X^/�, on others, the plip proc node is completely missing. The patch also fixes documentation to note this requirement. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mikulas@artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

netif_rx is meant to be called from interrupts because it doesn't wake up ksoftirqd. For calling from outside interrupts, netif_rx_ni exists. This fixes plip to use netif_rx_ni. It fixes the infamous error "NOHZ: local_softirq_panding 08" that happens on some machines with NOHZ and plip --- it is caused by the fact that softirq is pending and ksoftirqd is sleeping.

For a kernel built with "make ARCH=x86" the following system information is displayed when running the new kernel $ uname -m x86 On some i386 systems (e.g. K7) we even have the following information $ uname -m x66 This is weird. The usual information for "uname -m" should be "x86_64" on 64-bit and "i386" or "i686" on 32-bit. This patch fixes the issue by setting UTS_MACHINE to "i386" for 32-bit kernel builds and to "x86_64" for 64-bit kernel builds. I.e., "x86" won't be used for UTS_MACHINE anymore.

Also see: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6761 [ mingo@elte.hu: added patch description and made it backwards compatible ] NOTE: the new flag is defined 0xa001 so that it returns -EINVAL on older kernels - this way glibc can use it safely.

HP ProLiant systems DL385 G2 and DL585 G2 need pci=bfsort to enumerate PCI devices in the expected order. Matt sayeth: biosdevname is a userspace app I wrote to help solve this so we don't need to patch the kernel for future systems. It's not integrated into any distributions properly yet, but is included in openSUSE 10.3 and Fedora 8 for people who want to download and install it there. It acts as a udev helper. For the time being, patching the kernel is necessary. I really hope biosdevname eliminates that need in future distributions. http://linux.dell.com/biosdevname/Signed-off-by: Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com> Acked-by: Andy Gospodarek <andy@greyhouse.net> Cc: mingo@elte.hu Cc: andy@greyhouse.net Cc: john.cagle@hp.com Cc: Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com> Cc: Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Arjan van de Ven authored
today, all oopses contain a version number of the kernel, which is nice because the people who actually do bother to read the oops get this vital bit of information always without having to ask the reporter in another round trip. However, WARN_ON() and many other dump_stack() users right now lack this information; the patch below adds this. This information is essential for getting people to use their time effectively when looking at these things; in addition, it's essential for tools that try to collect statistics about defects. Please consider, since its so simple and important for long term kernel quality processes. The code is identical between 32/64 bit; a lot of this code should be unified over time, the patch keeps the identical-ness intact.

More than 3 years ago Niclas Gustafsson reported a 'stopped time' problem: > Watching the /proc/interrupts with 10s apart after the "stop". > > [root@s151 root]# more /proc/interrupts > CPU0 > 0: 66413955 local-APIC-edge timer [...] > LOC: 67355837 > ERR: 0 > MIS: 0 > [root@s151 root]# more /proc/interrupts > CPU0 > 0: 66413955 local-APIC-edge timer [...] > LOC: 67379568 > ERR: 0 > MIS: 0 This may be because buggy SMM firmware messes with the 8259A (configured for a transparent mode -- yes that rare "local-APIC-edge" mode is tricky ;-) ) insanely. this should resolve: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2544 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6296Patch-dusted-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Sibyte SOCs only have 32-bit PCI. Due to the sparse use of the address space only the first 1GB of memory is mapped at physical addresses below 1GB. If a system has more than 1GB of memory 32-bit DMA will not be able to reach all of it. For now this patch is good enough to keep Sibyte users happy but it seems eventually something like swiotlb will be needed for Sibyte. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

In particular as-is it's not suited for multicore and mutiprocessors systems where there is on guarantee that the counter are synchronized or running from the same clock at all. This broke Sibyte and probably others since the "[MIPS] Handle R4000/R4400 mfc0 from count register." commit. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

The R4000 and R4400 have an errata where if the cp0 count register is read in the exact moment when it matches the compare register no interrupt will be generated. This bug may be triggered if the cp0 count register is being used as clocksource and the compare interrupt as clockevent. So a simple workaround is to avoid using the compare for both facilities on the affected CPUs. This is different from the workaround suggested in the old errata documents; at some opportunity probably the official version should be implemented and tested. Another thing to find out is which processor versions exactly are affected. I only have errata documents upto R4400 V3.0 available so for the moment the code treats all R4000 and R4400 as broken. This is potencially a problem for some machines that have no other decent clocksource available; this workaround will cause them to fall back to another clocksource, worst case the "jiffies" source.

The LL / SC loops in __futex_atomic_op() have the usual fixups necessary for memory acccesses to userspace from kernel space installed: __asm__ __volatile__( " .set push \n" " .set noat \n" " .set mips3 \n" "1: ll %1, %4 # __futex_atomic_op \n" " .set mips0 \n" " " insn " \n" " .set mips3 \n" "2: sc $1, %2 \n" " beqz $1, 1b \n" __WEAK_LLSC_MB "3: \n" " .set pop \n" " .set mips0 \n" " .section .fixup,\"ax\" \n" "4: li %0, %6 \n" " j 2b \n" <----- " .previous \n" " .section __ex_table,\"a\" \n" " "__UA_ADDR "\t1b, 4b \n" " "__UA_ADDR "\t2b, 4b \n" " .previous \n" : "=r" (ret), "=&r" (oldval), "=R" (*uaddr) : "0" (0), "R" (*uaddr), "Jr" (oparg), "i" (-EFAULT) : "memory"); The branch at the end of the fixup code, it goes back to the SC instruction, no matter if the fault was first taken by the LL or SC instruction resulting in an endless loop which will only terminate if the address become valid again due to another thread setting up an accessible mapping and the CPU happens to execute the SC instruction successfully which due to the preceeding ERET instruction of the fault handler would only happen if UNPREDICTABLE instruction behaviour of the SC instruction without a preceeding LL happens to favor that outcome. But normally processes are nice, pass valid arguments and we were just getting away with this. Thanks to Kaz Kylheku <kaz@zeugmasystems.com> for providing the original report and a test case.
