2009-10-07amd64_edac: fix chip select handlingBorislav Petkov
Different processor families support a different number of chip selects. Handle this in a family-dependent way with the proper values assigned at init time (see amd64_set_dct_base_and_mask). Remove _DCSM_COUNT defines since they're used at one place and originate from public documentation. CC: Keith Mannthey <kmannth@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@amd.com>
2009-10-07amd64_edac: simple fix to allow reporting of CECC errorsKeith Mannthey
This allows the errors to be further decoded and mapped to csrows. Tested with ECC debug dimms and an Rev F cpu based system. Signed-off-by: Keith Mannthey <kmannth@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@amd.com>
2009-10-07amd64_edac: fix K8 intlv_sel checkBorislav Petkov
The check when DRAM interleaving is enabled should be done against the pvt->dram_IntlvSel field and not against the ->dram_limit. Simplify first loop and fixup printk formatting while at it. Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@amd.com>
2009-10-07amd64_edac: fix interleave enable testsBorislav Petkov
The pvt->dram_IntlvEn saves the 3 "Interleave Enable" bits already right-shifted by 8 so the check in find_mc_by_sys_addr() by shifting the values to the left 8 bits is wrong. Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@amd.com>
2009-10-07amd64_edac: fix DRAM base and limit address extractionBorislav Petkov
K8 DRAM base and limit addresses from F1x40 +8*i and F1x44 + 8*i, where i in (0..7) are both bits 39-24 and therefore the shifting should be done by 24 and not by 8. Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@amd.com>
2009-10-07amd64_edac: fix driver instance lookup table allocationBorislav Petkov
Allocate memory statically for 8-node machines max for simplicity instead of relying on MAX_NUMNODES which is 0 on !CONFIG_NUMA builds. Spotted by Jan Beulich. Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@amd.com>

2009-10-04tty: Avoid dropping ldisc_mutex over hangup tty re-initializationLinus Torvalds
A couple of people have hit the WARN_ON() in drivers/char/tty_io.c, tty_open() that is unhappy about seeing the tty line discipline go away during the tty hangup. See for example http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14255 and the reason is that we do the tty_ldisc_halt() outside the ldisc_mutex in order to be able to flush the scheduled work without a deadlock with vhangup_work. However, it turns out that we can solve this particular case by - using "cancel_delayed_work_sync()" in tty_ldisc_halt(), which waits for just the particular work, rather than synchronizing with any random outstanding pending work. This won't deadlock, since the buf.work we synchronize with doesn't care about the ldisc_mutex, it just flushes the tty ldisc buffers. - realize that for this particular case, we don't need to wait for any hangup work, because we are inside the hangup codepaths ourselves. so as a result we can just drop the flush_scheduled_work() entirely, and then move the tty_ldisc_halt() call to inside the mutex. That way we never expose the partially torn down ldisc state to tty_open(), and hold the ldisc_mutex over the whole sequence.
