The wrong address was being used to write the SCIR led regs on
remote hubs. Also, there was an inconsistency between how BIOS
and the kernel indexed these regs. Standardize on using the
lower 6 bits of the APIC ID as the index.
This patch fixes the problem of writing to an errant address to
a cpu # >= 64.

Andrew Morton reported a strange looking kmemcheck warning:
WARNING: kmemcheck: Caught 32-bit read from uninitialized memory (ffff88004fba6c20)

The above printout is missing register dump completely. The
problem here is that the output comes from syslog which doesn't
show KERN_INFO log-level messages. We didn't see this before
because both of us were testing on 32-bit kernels which use the
_default_ log-level.
Fix that up by explicitly using KERN_DEFAULT log-level for
__show_regs() printks.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joro/linux-2.6-iommu into x86/urgent
|
|
Recently, some distros have started shipping versions of gcc which
default to -march=i686. This breaks building kernels for pre-i686
machines, even if they have been selected in Kconfig, due to the
generation of CMOV instructions.
There isn't enough benefit to try to preserve the generation of these
instructions even when selected, so simply force -march=i386 for the
decompressor when building a 32-bit kernel.

The assumption that acpi_table_parse passes the return value
of the hanlder function to the caller proved wrong
recently. The return value of the handler function is
totally ignored. This makes the initialization code for AMD
IOMMU buggy in a way that could cause a kernel panic on
initialization. This patch fixes the issue in the AMD IOMMU
driver.

set_desc_affinity() is already checking if the incoming cpu mask
intersects with the cpu online mask or not. So there is no need
for the apic op cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() to check again
and return BAD_APICID.
Remove the BAD_APICID return value from cpu_mask_to_apicid_and()
and also fix set_desc_affinity() to return -1 instead of using BAD_APICID
to represent error conditions (as cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() can return
logical or physical apicid values and BAD_APICID is really to represent
bad physical apic id).

Commit 83ce4009 did the following change
If the TSC is constant and non-stop, also set it reliable.
But, there seems to be few systems that will end up with TSC warp across
sockets, depending on how the cpus come out of reset. Skipping TSC sync
test on such systems may result in time inconsistency later.
So, reenable TSC sync test even on constant and non-stop TSC systems.
Set, sched_clock_stable to 1 by default and reset it in
mark_tsc_unstable, if TSC sync fails.
This change still gives perf benefit mentioned in 83ce4009 for systems
where TSC is reliable.

Add pseudo-DMA by FIQ to the S3C24XX SPI driver. This allows the driver
to get DMA-like performance where there are either no free DMA channels or
when doing transfers that required both TX and RX data paths.
Since this patch requires the addition of an assembly file to hold the FIQ
code, we rename the module (instead of adding a rename of the .c file to
this patch). We expect most users are loading this via udev and thus
there should be no change to the userland configuration.

The loop condition is fragile: we compare an unsigned value to zero, and
then decrement it by something larger than one in the loop. All the
callers should be passing in appropriately aligned buffer lengths, but
it's better to just not rely on it, and have some appropriate defensive
loop limits.

There's no reason for MIPS to select EMBEDDED. In fact, EMBEDDED makes
MIPS more awkward to deal with because it makes it different to the
majority of architectures for no good reason.
[Ralf: Historically disabling EMBEDDED had hid essential options for many
MIPS platforms such as serial console and forced crap like VGA support
or power managment enabled for platforms where those don't make any sense.
The name of the option is also _very_ missleading so many users don't
select it even where is was required for a functioning kernel.]

Currently, MIPS kernels silently overwrite kernel command-line parameters
hardcoded in CONFIG_CMDLINE by the ones received from firmware. Therefore,
using firmware remains the only reliable method to transfer the
command-line parameters, which is not always desirable or convenient, and
the CONFIG_CMDLINE option is thereby effectively rendered useless.
This patch fixes the problem described above and introduces a more flexible
scheme of handling the kernel command line, in a manner identical to what is
currently used for x86. The default behavior, i.e. when CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL
is not defined, retains the existing semantics, and firmware command-line
arguments override the hardcoded ones.
[Ralf: I fixed up all the defconfig files so the stay unaffected by this
change.]

That thread "MIPS: Add option to pass return address location to
_mcount" from "David Daney <ddaney@caviumnetworks.com>" have added a new
option -mmcount-ra-address to gcc(4.5) for MIPS to transfer the location
of the return address to _mcount.
Benefit from this new feature, function graph tracer on MIPS will be
easier and safer to hijack the return address of the kernel function,
which will save some overhead and make the whole thing more reliable.
In this patch, at first, try to enable the option -mmcount-ra-address in
arch/mips/Makefile with cc-option, if gcc support it, it will be
enabled, otherwise, no side effect.
and then, we need to support this new option of gcc 4.5 and also support
the old gcc versions.
with _mcount in the old gcc versions, it's not easy to get the location
of return address(tracing: add function graph tracer support for MIPS),
so, we do it in a C function: ftrace_get_parent_addr(ftrace.c), but
with -mmcount-ra-address, only several instructions need to get what
we want, so, I put into asm(mcount.S). and also, as the $12(t0) is
used by -mmcount-ra-address for transferring the localtion of return
address to _mcount, we need to save it into the stack and restore it
when enabled dynamic function tracer, 'Cause we have called
"ftrace_call" before "ftrace_graph_caller", which may destroy
$12(t0).
(Thanks to David for providing that -mcount-ra-address and giving the
idea of KBUILD_MCOUNT_RA_ADDRESS, both of them have made the whole
thing more beautiful!)

to hijack the return address easier and safer. that option used the
$12(t0) register by default, so, we reserve it for it, and use t1,t2,t3
instead of t0,t1,t2.

When remove the -fno-omit-frame-pointer, gcc will not save the frame
pointer for us, we need to save one ourselves.

This patch make function graph tracer work with dynamic function tracer.
To share the source code of dynamic function tracer(MCOUNT_SAVE_REGS),
and avoid restoring the whole saved registers, we need to restore the ra
register from the stack.
(NOTE: This not work with 32bit! need to ensure why!)

The implementation of function graph tracer for MIPS is a little
different from X86.
in MIPS, gcc(with -pg) only transfer the caller's return address(at) and
the _mcount's return address(ra) to us.
For the kernel part without -mlong-calls:
move at, ra
jal _mcount
For the module part with -mlong-calls:
lui v1, hi16bit_of_mcount
addiu v1, v1, low16bit_of_mcount
move at, ra
jal _mcount
Without -mlong-calls,
if the function is a leaf, it will not save the return address(ra):
ffffffff80101298 <au1k_wait>:
ffffffff80101298: 67bdfff0 daddiu sp,sp,-16
ffffffff8010129c: ffbe0008 sd s8,8(sp)
ffffffff801012a0: 03a0f02d move s8,sp
ffffffff801012a4: 03e0082d move at,ra
ffffffff801012a8: 0c042930 jal ffffffff8010a4c0 <_mcount>
ffffffff801012ac: 00020021 nop
so, we can hijack it directly in _mcount, but if the function is non-leaf, the
return address is saved in the stack.
ffffffff80133030 <copy_process>:
ffffffff80133030: 67bdff50 daddiu sp,sp,-176
ffffffff80133034: ffbe00a0 sd s8,160(sp)
ffffffff80133038: 03a0f02d move s8,sp
ffffffff8013303c: ffbf00a8 sd ra,168(sp)
ffffffff80133040: ffb70098 sd s7,152(sp)
ffffffff80133044: ffb60090 sd s6,144(sp)
ffffffff80133048: ffb50088 sd s5,136(sp)
ffffffff8013304c: ffb40080 sd s4,128(sp)
ffffffff80133050: ffb30078 sd s3,120(sp)
ffffffff80133054: ffb20070 sd s2,112(sp)
ffffffff80133058: ffb10068 sd s1,104(sp)
ffffffff8013305c: ffb00060 sd s0,96(sp)
ffffffff80133060: 03e0082d move at,ra
ffffffff80133064: 0c042930 jal ffffffff8010a4c0 <_mcount>
ffffffff80133068: 00020021 nop
but we can not get the exact stack address(which saved ra) directly in
_mcount, we need to search the content of at register in the stack space
or search the "s{d,w} ra, offset(sp)" instruction in the text. 'Cause we
can not prove there is only a match in the stack space, so, we search
the text instead.
as we can see, if the first instruction above "move at, ra" is not a
store instruction, there should be a leaf function, so we hijack the at
register directly via putting &return_to_handler into it, otherwise, we
search the "s{d,w} ra, offset(sp)" instruction to get the stack offset,
and then the stack address. we use the above copy_process() as an
example, we at last find "ffbf00a8", 0xa8 is the stack offset, we plus
it with s8(fp), that is the stack address, we hijack the content via
writing the &return_to_handler in.
If with -mlong-calls, since there are two more instructions above "move
at, ra", so, we can move the pointer to the position above "lui v1,
hi16bit_of_mcount".

This patch add a new section for MIPS to record the block of the hardirq
handling for function graph tracer(print_graph_irq) via adding the
__irq_entry annotation to the the entrypoints of the hardirqs(the block
with irq_enter()...irq_exit()).
Thanks goes to Steven & Frederic Weisbecker for their feedbacks.
