2013-04-05signal: Define __ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER so we know whether to clear sa_restorerBen Hutchings
Vaguely based on upstream commit 574c4866e33d 'consolidate kernel-side struct sigaction declarations'. flush_signal_handlers() needs to know whether sigaction::sa_restorer is defined, not whether SA_RESTORER is defined. Define the __ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER macro to indicate this.

2013-03-20powerpc: Update kernel VSID rangeAneesh Kumar K.V
commit c60ac5693c47df32a2b4b18af97fca5635def015 upstream. This patch change the kernel VSID range so that we limit VSID_BITS to 37. This enables us to support 64TB with 65 bit VA (37+28). Without this patch we have boot hangs on platforms that only support 65 bit VA. With this patch we now have proto vsid generated as below: We first generate a 37-bit "proto-VSID". Proto-VSIDs are generated from mmu context id and effective segment id of the address. For user processes max context id is limited to ((1ul << 19) - 5) for kernel space, we use the top 4 context ids to map address as below 0x7fffc - [ 0xc000000000000000 - 0xc0003fffffffffff ] 0x7fffd - [ 0xd000000000000000 - 0xd0003fffffffffff ] 0x7fffe - [ 0xe000000000000000 - 0xe0003fffffffffff ] 0x7ffff - [ 0xf000000000000000 - 0xf0003fffffffffff ] Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Tested-by: Geoff Levand <geoff@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

2013-03-14powerpc: Apply early paca fixups to boot_paca and the boot cpu's pacaMichael Ellerman
commit 25e138149c19fa0680147b825be475f5fd57f155 upstream. In commit 466921c we added a hack to set the paca data_offset to zero so that per-cpu accesses would work on the boot cpu prior to per-cpu areas being setup. This fixed a problem with lockdep touching per-cpu areas very early in boot. However if we combine CONFIG_LOCK_STAT=y with any of the PPC_EARLY_DEBUG options, we can hit the same problem in udbg_early_init(). To avoid that we need to set the data_offset of the boot_paca also. So factor out the fixup logic and call it for both the boot_paca, and "the paca of the boot cpu".

2013-02-28powerpc/eeh: Fix crash when adding a device in a slot with DDWThadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo
commit 6a040ce72598159a74969a2d01ab0ba5ee6536b3 upstream. The DDW code uses a eeh_dev struct from the pci_dev. However, this is not set until eeh_add_device_late is called. Since pci_bus_add_devices is called before eeh_add_device_late, the PCI devices are added to the bus, making drivers' probe hooks to be called. These will call set_dma_mask, which will call the DDW code, which will require the eeh_dev struct from pci_dev. This would result in a crash, due to a NULL dereference. Calling eeh_add_device_late after pci_bus_add_devices would make the system BUG, because device files shouldn't be added to devices there were not added to the system. So, a new function is needed to add such files only after pci_bus_add_devices have been called.

2013-01-28powerpc/pasemi: Fix crash on rebootSteven Rostedt
commit f96972f2dc "kernel/sys.c: call disable_nonboot_cpus() in kernel_restart()" added a call to disable_nonboot_cpus() on kernel_restart(), which tries to shutdown all the CPUs except the first one. The issue with the PA Semi, is that it does not support CPU hotplug. When the call is made to __cpu_down(), it calls the notifiers CPU_DOWN_PREPARE, and then tries to take the CPU down. One of the notifiers to the CPU hotplug code, is the cpufreq. The DOWN_PREPARE will call __cpufreq_remove_dev() which calls cpufreq_driver->exit. The PA Semi exit handler unmaps regions of I/O that is used by an interrupt that goes off constantly (system_reset_common, but it goes off during normal system operations too). I'm not sure exactly what this interrupt does. Running a simple function trace, you can see it goes off quite a bit: # tracer: function # # TASK-PID CPU# TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | | | <idle>-0 [001] 1558.859363: .pasemi_system_reset_exception <-.system_reset_exception <idle>-0 [000] 1558.860112: .pasemi_system_reset_exception <-.system_reset_exception <idle>-0 [000] 1558.861109: .pasemi_system_reset_exception <-.system_reset_exception <idle>-0 [001] 1558.861361: .pasemi_system_reset_exception <-.system_reset_exception <idle>-0 [000] 1558.861437: .pasemi_system_reset_exception <-.system_reset_exception When the region is unmapped, the system crashes with: Disabling non-boot CPUs ...

2013-01-03powerpc/vdso: Remove redundant locking in update_vsyscall_tz()Shan Hai
The locking in update_vsyscall_tz() is not only unnecessary because the vdso code copies the data unproteced in __kernel_gettimeofday() but also introduces a hard to reproduce race condition between update_vsyscall() and update_vsyscall_tz(), which causes user space process to loop forever in vdso code. The following patch removes the locking from update_vsyscall_tz(). Locking is not only unnecessary because the vdso code copies the data unprotected in __kernel_gettimeofday() but also erroneous because updating the tb_update_count is not atomic and introduces a hard to reproduce race condition between update_vsyscall() and update_vsyscall_tz(), which further causes user space process to loop forever in vdso code. The below scenario describes the race condition, x==0 Boot CPU other CPU proc_P: x==0 timer interrupt update_vsyscall x==1 x++;sync settimeofday update_vsyscall_tz x==2 x++;sync x==3 sync;x++ sync;x++ proc_P: x==3 (loops until x becomes even) Because the ++ operator would be implemented as three instructions and not atomic on powerpc.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joro/iommu Pull IOMMU updates from Joerg Roedel: "A few new features this merge-window. The most important one is probably, that dma-debug now warns if a dma-handle is not checked with dma_mapping_error by the device driver. This requires minor changes to some architectures which make use of dma-debug. Most of these changes have the respective Acks by the Arch-Maintainers. Besides that there are updates to the AMD IOMMU driver for refactor the IOMMU-Groups support and to make sure it does not trigger a hardware erratum. The OMAP changes (for which I pulled in a branch from Tony Lindgren's tree) have a conflict in linux-next with the arm-soc tree. The conflict is in the file arch/arm/mach-omap2/clock44xx_data.c which is deleted in the arm-soc tree. It is safe to delete the file too so solve the conflict. Similar changes are done in the arm-soc tree in the common clock framework migration.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman: "While small this set of changes is very significant with respect to containers in general and user namespaces in particular. The user space interface is now complete. This set of changes adds support for unprivileged users to create user namespaces and as a user namespace root to create other namespaces. The tyranny of supporting suid root preventing unprivileged users from using cool new kernel features is broken. This set of changes completes the work on setns, adding support for the pid, user, mount namespaces. This set of changes includes a bunch of basic pid namespace cleanups/simplifications. Of particular significance is the rework of the pid namespace cleanup so it no longer requires sending out tendrils into all kinds of unexpected cleanup paths for operation. At least one case of broken error handling is fixed by this cleanup. The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been converted from regular files to magic symlinks which prevents incorrect caching by the VFS, ensuring the files always refer to the namespace the process is currently using and ensuring that the ptrace_mayaccess permission checks are always applied. The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been given stable inode numbers so it is now possible to see if different processes share the same namespaces. Through the David Miller's net tree are changes to relax many of the permission checks in the networking stack to allowing the user namespace root to usefully use the networking stack. Similar changes for the mount namespace and the pid namespace are coming through my tree. Two small changes to add user namespace support were commited here adn in David Miller's -net tree so that I could complete the work on the /proc/<pid>/ns/ files in this tree. Work remains to make it safe to build user namespaces and 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, ocfs2, and xfs so the Kconfig guard remains in place preventing that user namespaces from being built when any of those filesystems are enabled.

This will inevitably disturb workloads that were in some sort of borderline balancing state or unstable equilibrium, so an eye has to be kept on regressions. For that reason the new load average is only limited to group scheduling (shares distribution) at the moment (which was also hurting the most from the prior, crude weight calculation and whose scheduling quality wins most from this change) - but we plan to extend this to regular SMP balancing as well in the future, which will simplify and speed up things a bit.

This new method is now used in the default 'diff' output, making the sum of the 'baseline' column be 100%, eliminating blind spots. * libtraceevent fixes for compiler warnings trying to make perf it build on some distros, like fedora 14, 32-bit, some of the warnings really pointed to real bugs. * Add a browser for 'perf script' and make it available from the report and annotate browsers. It does filtering to find the scripts that handle events found in the perf.data file used. From Feng Tang * perf inject changes to allow showing where a task sleeps, from Andrew Vagin. * Makefile improvements from Namhyung Kim. * Add --pre and --post command hooks in 'stat', from Peter Zijlstra. * Don't stop synthesizing threads when one vanishes, this is for the existing threads when we start a tool like trace. * Use sched:sched_stat_runtime to provide a thread summary, this produces the same output as the 'trace summary' subcommand of tglx's original "trace" tool. * Support interrupted syscalls in 'trace' * Add an event duration column and filter in 'trace'. * There are references to the man pages in some tools, so try to build Documentation when installing, warning the user if that is not possible, from Borislav Petkov. * Give user better message if precise is not supported, from David Ahern. * Try to find cross-built objdump path by using the session environment information in the perf.data file header, from Irina Tirdea, original patch and idea by Namhyung Kim. * Diplays more output on features check for make V=1, so that one can figure out what is happening by looking at gcc output, etc. From Jiri Olsa. * Add on_exit implementation for systems without one, e.g. Android, from Bernhard Rosenkraenzer. * Only process events for vcpus of interest, helps handling large number of events, from David Ahern. * Cross compilation fixes for Android, from Irina Tirdea. * Add documentation on compiling for Android, from Irina Tirdea. * perf diff improvements from Jiri Olsa. * Target (task/user/cpu/syswide) handling improvements, from Namhyung Kim. * Add support in 'trace' for tracing workload given by command line, from Namhyung Kim. * ... and much more." * 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (194 commits) uprobes: Use percpu_rw_semaphore to fix register/unregister vs dup_mmap() race perf evsel: Introduce is_group_member method perf powerpc: Use uapi/unistd.h to fix build error tools: Pass the target in descend tools: Honour the O= flag when tool build called from a higher Makefile tools: Define a Makefile function to do subdir processing perf ui: Always compile browser setup code perf ui: Add ui_progress__finish() perf ui gtk: Implement ui_progress functions perf ui: Introduce generic ui_progress helper perf ui tui: Move progress.c under ui/tui directory perf tools: Add basic event modifier sanity check perf tools: Omit group members from perf_evlist__disable/enable perf tools: Ensure single disable call per event in record comand perf tools: Fix 'disabled' attribute config for record command perf tools: Fix attributes for '{}' defined event groups perf tools: Use sscanf for parsing /proc/pid/maps perf tools: Add gtk.<command> config option for launching GTK browser perf tools: Fix compile error on NO_NEWT=1 build perf hists: Initialize all of he->stat with zeroes ...

2012-12-12bootmem: fix wrong call parameter for free_bootmem()Joonsoo Kim
It is strange that alloc_bootmem() returns a virtual address and free_bootmem() requires a physical address. Anyway, free_bootmem()'s first parameter should be physical address. There are some call sites for free_bootmem() with virtual address. So fix them.
