This patch defines new ioctl codes TIOCGPKT, TIOCGPTLCK,
TIOCGEXCL for fetching pty's packet mode and locking state,
and exclusive mode of tty.
[ No real handlers for the codes though, this will be
addressed in another patch for easier review and
bisectability ]

The current CE4100 and 8250_pci code have both a limitation preventing the
registration and usage of CE4100's second UART. This patch changes the
platform code fixing up the UART port to work on a relative UART port
base address, as well as the 8250_pci code to make it register 2 UART ports
for CE4100 and pass the port index down to all consumers.

arm64: Remove duplicate inclusion of mmu_context.h in smp.c
|
|
An interesting effect of using the generic version of linkage.h
is that the padding is defined in terms of x86 NOPs, which can have
even more interesting effects when the assembly code looks like this:
ENTRY(func1)
mov x0, xzr
ENDPROC(func1)
// fall through
ENTRY(func2)
mov x0, #1
ret
ENDPROC(func2)
Admittedly, the code is not very nice. But having code from another
architecture doesn't look completely sane either.
The fix is to add arm64's version of linkage.h, which causes the insertion
of proper AArch64 NOPs.

Pull perf/urgent fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
* The python binding needs to link with libtraceevent and to initialize
the 'page_size' variable so that mmaping works again.
* The callchain folding character that appears on the TUI just before
the overhead had disappeared due to recent changes, add it back.
* Intel PEBS in VT-x context uses the DS address as a guest linear address,
even though its programmed by the host as a host linear address. This either
results in guest memory corruption and or the hardware faulting and 'crashing'
the virtual machine. Therefore we have to disable PEBS on VT-x enter and
re-enable on VT-x exit, enforcing a strict exclude_guest.
Kernel side enforcement fix by Peter Zijlstra, tooling side fix by David Ahern.

From Borislav Petkov <bp@amd64.org>:
Below is a RAS fix which reverts the addition of a sysfs attribute
which we agreed is not needed, post-factum. And this should go in now
because that sysfs attribute is going to end up in 3.7 otherwise and
thus exposed to userspace; removing it then would be a lot harder.
This is done as a merge rather than a simple patch/cherry-pick since
the baseline for this patch was not in the previous x86/urgent.

450cc201038f3 ("x86/mce: Provide boot argument to honour bios-set CMCI
threshold") added the bios_cmci_threshold sysfs attribute which was
supposed to communicate to userspace tools that BIOS CMCI threshold has
been honoured.
However, this info is not of any importance to userspace - it should
rather get the actual error count it has been thresholded already from
MCi_STATUS[38:52].
So drop this before it becomes a used interface (good thing we caught
this early in 3.7-rc1, right after the merge window closed).

If a debugger tries to zero a hardware debug control register, the
kernel will try to infer both the type and length of the breakpoint
in order to sanity-check against the requested regset type. This will
fail because the encoding will appear as a zero-length breakpoint.
This patch changes the control register setting so that disabled
breakpoints are treated as HW_BREAKPOINT_EMPTY and no further
sanity-checking is required.

For historical reasons, ARM used to set r0-r2 in start_thread() to the
first values on the user stack when starting a new user application. The
same logic has been inherited in AArch64. The x0 register is overridden
by the sys_execve() return value so it's always zero on success. The x1
and x2 registers are ignored by AArch64 and EABI AArch32 applications,
so we can safely remove the register setting for both native and compat
user space.
This also fixes a potential fault with the kernel accessing user space
stack directly.

Earlier without cpuidle framework on pseries, the native arch
idle routine comprised of both snooze and nap
states. smt_snooze_delay variable was used to delay
the idle process entry to deeper idle state like nap.
With the coming of cpuidle, this arch specific idle was replaced
by two different idle routines, one for supporting snooze and other
for nap. This enabled addition of more
low level idle states on pseries in the future.
On adopting the generic cpuidle framework for POWER systems,
the decision of which idle state to choose from, given a predicted
idle time is taken by the menu governor based on
target_residency and exit_latency of the idle states.
target_residency is the minimum time to be resident in that idle state.
Exit_latency is time taken to exit out of idle state.
Deeper the idle state, both the target residency and exit latency
would be higher.
In the current design, smt_snooze_delay is used as target_residency
for the snooze state which is incorrect, as it is not the
minimum but the maximum duration to be in snooze state.
This would result in the governor in taking bad decision,
as presently target_residency of nap < target_residency of snooze
inspite of nap being deeper idle state.
This patch aims to fix this problem by replacing the smt_snooze_delay loop
in snooze state, with the need_resched() as the governor is aware of
entry and exit of various idle transitions based on which
next idle time prediction.
The governor is intelligent enough to determine the idle state the needs to
be transitioned to and maintains a whole of heuristics including
io load, previous idle states predictions etc for the same, based on
which idle state entry decision is taken.
With this fix, of setting target_residency of snooze to 0
nap to smt_snooze_delay
if the predicted idle time is less
than smt_snooze_delay (target_residency of nap)
value governor would pick snooze state, else nap. This adhers to the
previous native idle design.

smt_snooze_delay was designed to delay idle loop's nap entry
in the native idle code before it got ported over to use as part of
the cpuidle framework.
A -ve value assigned to smt_snooze_delay should result in
busy looping, in other words disabling the entry to nap state.
- https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2010-May/082450.html
This particular functionality can be achieved currently by
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/state1/disable
but it is broken when one assigns -ve value to the smt_snooze_delay
variable either via sysfs entry or ppc64_cpu util.
This patch aims to fix this, by disabling nap state when smt_snooze_delay
variable is set to -ve value.

Remove the redundant target residency initialisation in pseries_cpuidle_driver_init().
This is currently over-writing the residency time updated as part of the static
table, resulting in all the idle states having the same target
residency of 100us which is incorrect. This may result in the menu governor making
wrong state decisions.

This reverts commit 813312110bede27bffd082c25cd31730bd567beb.
This revert was requested by the author of the patch as it seems
to cause system hangs with some low frequency events

Pull misc UAPI fixes from David Howells:
"They do a number of things:
(1) Import a patch from Catalin Marinas to extend the generic-y in
Kbuild facility to uapi directories.
(2) Make arch/tile's ucontext.h file use (1) and remove the header-y
line from the kernel internal side of things.
(3) Remove some now-empty conditional bits from include/linux/Kbuild.
The contents got moved to the UAPI side of things along with new
conditionals.
(4) Deal with now-empty files:
(a) Empty Kbuild files under include/ get removed.
(b) Empty Kbuild files under arch/ get comments to hold them as
they are likely to end up with generic-y or genhdr-y lines.
Deleting them appears to work if we want to go that route.
(c) Put a comment into uapi/asm-generic/kvm_para.h to prevent the
patch program from deleting that, and made the arches with
empty kvm_para.h uapi files use that instead of having their
own files.
(d) Put comments into four other empty uapi/ headers to prevent the
patch program from deleting them.
A question: Is this the right way to deal with the now-empty Kbuild
files?
The ones under include/ are unlikely to be used - even for generated
files, I think - so getting rid of them is probably okay. Once all
the bits are in, we can probably remove all the Kbuild files under
include/ that aren't also under include/uapi/.
The ones under arch/ are more of an issue because of the potential for
generic-y and genhdr-y."

Pull sparc fixes from David Miller:
"Two sparc64 perf bug fixes and add a sysrq facility so I can diagnose
these kinds of problems more quickly in the future."
* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/sparc:
sparc64: Fix bit twiddling in sparc_pmu_enable_event().
sparc64: Add global PMU register dumping via sysrq.
sparc64: Like x86 we should check current->mm during perf backtrace generation.

When booting on a federated multi-server system (NumaScale), the
processor Northbridge lookup returns NULL; add guards to prevent this
causing an oops.
On those systems, the northbridge is accessed through MMIO and the
"normal" northbridge enumeration in amd_nb.c doesn't work since we're
generating the northbridge ID from the initial APIC ID and the last
is not unique on those systems. Long story short, we end up without
northbridge descriptors.

mapping.
On systems with very large memory (1 TB in our case), BIOS may report a
reserved region or a hole in the E820 map, even above the 4 GB range. Exclude
these from the direct mapping.
[ hpa: this should be done not just for > 4 GB but for everything above the legacy
region (1 MB), at the very least. That, however, turns out to require significant
restructuring. That work is well underway, but is not suitable for rc/stable. ]

The watchdog on dove requires an interrupt that is not yet
available on DT. Therefore, the watchdog DT node is removed
until the corresponding chained intc is available.
