edac: Only expose csrows/channels on legacy API if they're populated
This patch actually fixes a bug with the legacy API, where, at the
same csrow, some channels may have different DIMMs. This can happen
on FB-DIMM/RAMBUS and modern Intel controllers.
This is the case, for example, of Nehalem machines:
edac: Move grain/dtype/edac_type calculus to be out of channel loop
The 3e7bddc changeset (edac: move dimm properties to struct memset_info)
moved the calculus inside a loop. However, at those stuff are common to
all channels, on several drivers, it is better to put the calculus
outside the loop, to optimize the code.

edac: add a sysfs node to report the maximum location for the system
The userspace tools need to know what's the maximum location on each
system, as it helps to create nice maps showing how the memory was
filled at the system.
edac: add a new per-dimm API and make the old per-virtual-rank API obsolete
The old EDAC API is broken. It only works fine for systems manufatured
before 2005 and for AMD 64. The reason is that it forces all memory
controller drivers to discover rank info.
Also, it doesn't allow grouping the several ranks into a DIMM.
So, what almost all modern drivers do is to create a fake virtual-rank
information, and use it to cheat the EDAC core to accept the driver.
While this works if the user has enough time to discover what DIMM slot
corresponds to each "virtual-rank" information, it prevents EDAC usage
for users with less available time. It also makes life hard for vendors
that may want to provide a table with their motherboards to the userspace
tool (edac-utils) as each driver has its own logic for the virtual
mapping.
So, the old API should be removed, in favor of a more flexible API that
allows newer drivers to not lie to the EDAC core.
amd64_edac: convert sysfs logic to use struct device
Now that the EDAC core supports struct device, there's no sense
on having any logic at the EDAC core to simulate it. So, instead
of adding such logic there, change the logic at amd64_edac to
use it.
mpc85xx_edac: convert sysfs logic to use struct device
Now that the EDAC core supports struct device, there's no sense on
having any logic at the EDAC core to simulate it. So, instead of adding
such logic there, change the logic at mpc85xx_edac to use it
The EDAC subsystem uses the old struct sysdev approach,
creating all nodes using the raw sysfs API. This is bad,
as the API is deprecated.
As we'll be changing the EDAC API, let's first port the existing
code to struct device.
There's one drawback on this patch: driver-specific sysfs
nodes, used by mpc85xx_edac, amd64_edac and i7core_edac
won't be created anymore. While it would be possible to
also port the device-specific code, that would mix kobj with
struct device, with is not recommended. Also, it is easier and nicer
to move the code to the drivers, instead, as the core can get rid
of some complex logic that just emulates what the device_add()
and device_create_file() already does.
The next patches will convert the driver-specific code to use
the device-specific calls. Then, the remaining bits of the old
sysfs API will be removed.
NOTE: a per-MC bus is required, otherwise devices with more than
one memory controller will hit a bug like the one below:
This happens because the bus is not being properly initialized.
Instead of putting the memory sub-devices inside the memory controller,
it is putting everything under the same directory:
As EDAC doesn't use struct device itself, it created a parent dev
pointer called as "pdev". Now that we'll be converting it to use
struct device, instead of struct devsys, this needs to be fixed.
No functional changes.

RAS: Add a tracepoint for reporting memory controller events
Add a new tracepoint-based hardware events report method for
reporting Memory Controller events.
Part of the description bellow is shamelessly copied from Tony
Luck's notes about the Hardware Error BoF during LPC 2010 [1].
Tony, thanks for your notes and discussions to generate the
h/w error reporting requirements.
[1] http://lwn.net/Articles/416669/
We have several subsystems & methods for reporting hardware errors:
1) EDAC ("Error Detection and Correction"). In its original form
this consisted of a platform specific driver that read topology
information and error counts from chipset registers and reported
the results via a sysfs interface.
2) mcelog - x86 specific decoding of machine check bank registers
reporting in binary form via /dev/mcelog. Recent additions make use
of the APEI extensions that were documented in version 4.0a of the
ACPI specification to acquire more information about errors without
having to rely reading chipset registers directly. A user level
programs decodes into somewhat human readable format.
3) drivers/edac/mce_amd.c - this driver hooks into the mcelog path and
decodes errors reported via machine check bank registers in AMD
processors to the console log using printk();
Each of these mechanisms has a band of followers ... and none
of them appear to meet all the needs of all users.
As part of a RAS subsystem, let's encapsulate the memory error hardware
events into a trace facility.
Where:
[quant] is the quantity of errors
[error msg] is the driver-specific error message
(e. g. "memory read", "bus error", ...);
[location] is the location in terms of memory controller and
branch/channel/slot, channel/slot or csrow/channel;
[label] is the memory stick label;
[edac_mc detail] describes the address location of the error
and the syndrome;
[driver detail] is driver-specifig error message details,
when needed/provided (e. g. "area:DMA", ...)
Of course, any userspace tools meant to handle errors should not parse
the above data. They should, instead, use the binary fields provided by
the tracepoint, mapping them directly into their Management Information
Base.
NOTE: The original patch was providing an additional mechanism for
MCA-based trace events that also contained MCA error register data.
However, as no agreement was reached so far for the MCA-based trace
events, for now, let's add events only for memory errors.
A latter patch is planned to change the tracepoint, for those types
of event.
i7core: fix ranks information at the per-channel struct
There is a flag at the per-channel struct that indicates if there are
any 4R dimm on it. The way the presence of this flag were reported
is not ok, as it might give the false idea that the channel were filled
with 2R memories:
The fatal error channel bits point to a single channel, and not
to a range of channels. Fix the code to properly report it,
instead of printing messages like:
kernel: EDAC MC0: INTERNAL ERROR: channel-b out of range (4 >= 4)
i5100_edac: Fix a warning when compiled with 32 bits
drivers/edac/i5100_edac.c: In function ‘i5100_init_csrows’:
drivers/edac/i5100_edac.c:862:3: warning: format ‘%zd’ expects argument of type ‘signed size_t’, but argument 5 has type ‘long unsigned int’ [-Wformat]
i5000_edac: Fix the logic that retrieves memory information
The logic there is broken: it basically creates two csrows for
each DIMM and assumes that all DIMM's are dual rank. Only one of
the csrows will contain the entire DIMM size. If single rank
memories are found, they'll be marked with 0 bytes.
The check if the AMB is present were also wrong.
Yet, as the error reports don't use the memory size in order to
credit an error to the right DIMM, that part of the driver seems
to work. That's why probably nobody detected the issue yet.
After this patch, the memory layout is now properly reported,
when debug mode is enabled, and the number of ranks per dimm is
now shown:
edac: Cleanup the logs for i7core and sb edac drivers
Remove some information that it is duplicated at the MCE log,
and don't have much usage for the error. Those data will be
added again, when creating a trace function that outputs both
memory errors and MCE fields.
edac: Initialize the dimm label with the known information
While userspace doesn't fill the dimm labels, add there the dimm location,
as described by the used memory model. This could eventually match what
is described at the dmidecode, making easier for people to identify the
memory.
For example, on an Intel motherboard where the DMI table is reliable,
the first memory stick is described as:
Memory Device
Array Handle: 0x0029
Error Information Handle: Not Provided
Total Width: 64 bits
Data Width: 64 bits
Size: 2048 MB
Form Factor: DIMM
Set: 1
Locator: A1_DIMM0
Bank Locator: A1_Node0_Channel0_Dimm0
Type: <OUT OF SPEC>
Type Detail: Synchronous
Speed: 800 MHz
Manufacturer: A1_Manufacturer0
Serial Number: A1_SerNum0
Asset Tag: A1_AssetTagNum0
Part Number: A1_PartNum0
The memory named as "A1_DIMM0" is physically located at the first
memory controller (node 0), at channel 0, dimm slot 0.
After this patch, the memory label will be filled with:
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/csrow0/ch0_dimm_label:mc#0channel#0slot#0
And (after the new EDAC API patches) as:
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/dimm0/dimm_label:mc#0channel#0slot#0
So, even if the memory label is not initialized on userspace, an useful
information with the error location is filled there, expecially since
several systems/motherboards are provided with enough info to map from
channel/slot (or branch/channel/slot) into the DIMM label. So, letting the
EDAC core fill it by default is a good thing.
It should noticed that, as the label filling happens at the
edac_mc_alloc(), drivers can override it to better describe the memories
(and some actually do it).
edac: Change internal representation to work with layers
Change the EDAC internal representation to work with non-csrow
based memory controllers.
There are lots of those memory controllers nowadays, and more
are coming. So, the EDAC internal representation needs to be
changed, in order to work with those memory controllers, while
preserving backward compatibility with the old ones.
The edac core was written with the idea that memory controllers
are able to directly access csrows.
This is not true for FB-DIMM and RAMBUS memory controllers.
Also, some recent advanced memory controllers don't present a per-csrows
view. Instead, they view memories as DIMMs, instead of ranks.
So, change the allocation and error report routines to allow
them to work with all types of architectures.
This will allow the removal of several hacks with FB-DIMM and RAMBUS
memory controllers.
Also, several tests were done on different platforms using different
x86 drivers.
TODO: a multi-rank DIMMs are currently represented by multiple DIMM
entries in struct dimm_info. That means that changing a label for one
rank won't change the same label for the other ranks at the same DIMM.
This bug is present since the beginning of the EDAC, so it is not a big
deal. However, on several drivers, it is possible to fix this issue, but
it should be a per-driver fix, as the csrow => DIMM arrangement may not
be equal for all. So, don't try to fix it here yet.
I tried to make this patch as short as possible, preceding it with
several other patches that simplified the logic here. Yet, as the
internal API changes, all drivers need changes. The changes are
generally bigger in the drivers for FB-DIMMs.

edac.h: Add generic layers for describing a memory location
The edac core were written with the idea that memory controllers
are able to directly access csrows, and that the channels are
used inside a csrows select.
This is not true for FB-DIMM and RAMBUS memory controllers.
Also, some recent advanced memory controllers don't present a per-csrows
view. Instead, they view memories as DIMMs, instead of ranks, accessed
via csrow/channel.
So, changes are needed in order to allow the EDAC core to
work with all types of architectures.
In preparation for handling non-csrows based memory controllers,
add some memory structs and a macro:
enum hw_event_mc_err_type: describes the type of error
(corrected, uncorrected, fatal)
To be used by the new edac_mc_handle_error function;
enum edac_mc_layer: describes the type of a given memory
architecture layer (branch, channel, slot, csrow).
struct edac_mc_layer: describes the properties of a memory
layer (type, size, and if the layer
will be used on a virtual csrow.
EDAC_DIMM_PTR() - as the number of layers can vary from 1 to 3,
this macro converts from an address with up to 3 layers into
a linear address.
The edac_align_ptr() function is used to prepare data for a single
memory allocation kzalloc() call. It counts how many bytes are needed
by some data structure.
Using it as-is is not that trivial, as the quantity of memory elements
reserved is not there, but, instead, it is on a next call.
In order to avoid mistakes when using it, move the number of allocated
elements into it, making easier to use it.
edac: Don't initialize csrow's first_page & friends when not needed
Almost all edac drivers initialize csrow_info->first_page,
csrow_info->last_page and csrow_info->page_mask. Those vars are
used inside the EDAC core, in order to calculate the csrow affected
by an error, by using the routine edac_mc_find_csrow_by_page().
However, very few drivers actually use it:
e752x_edac.c
e7xxx_edac.c
i3000_edac.c
i82443bxgx_edac.c
i82860_edac.c
i82875p_edac.c
i82975x_edac.c
r82600_edac.c
There also a few other drivers that have their own calculus
formula internally using those vars.
All the others are just wasting time by initializing those
data.
While initializing data without using them won't cause any troubles, as
those information is stored at the wrong place (at csrows structure), it
is better to remove what is unused, in order to simplify the next patch.
On systems based on chip select rows, all channels need to use memories
with the same properties, otherwise the memories on channels A and B
won't be recognized.
However, such assumption is not true for all types of memory
controllers.
Controllers for FB-DIMM's don't have such requirements.
Also, modern Intel controllers seem to be capable of handling such
differences.
So, we need to get rid of storing the DIMM information into a per-csrow
data, storing it, instead at the right place.
The first step is to move grain, mtype, dtype and edac_mode to the
per-dimm struct.

edac: Create a dimm struct and move the labels into it
The way a DIMM is currently represented implies that they're
linked into a per-csrow struct. However, some drivers don't see
csrows, as they're ridden behind some chip like the AMB's
on FBDIMM's, for example.
This forced drivers to fake^Wvirtualize a csrow struct, and to create
a mess under csrow/channel original's concept.
Move the DIMM labels into a per-DIMM struct, and add there
the real location of the socket, in terms of csrow/channel.
Latter patches will modify the location to properly represent the
memory architecture.
All other drivers will use a per-csrow type of location.
Some of those drivers will require a latter conversion, as
they also fake the csrows internally.
TODO: While this patch doesn't change the existing behavior, on
csrows-based memory controllers, a csrow/channel pair points to a memory
rank. There's a known bug at the EDAC core that allows having different
labels for the same DIMM, if it has more than one rank. A latter patch
is need to merge the several ranks for a DIMM into the same dimm_info
struct, in order to avoid having different labels for the same DIMM.
The edac_mc_alloc() will now contain a per-dimm initialization loop that
will be changed by latter patches in order to match other types of
memory architectures.

proc: move fd symlink i_mode calculations into tid_fd_revalidate()
Instead of doing the i_mode calculations at proc_fd_instantiate() time,
move them into tid_fd_revalidate(), which is where the other inode state
(notably uid/gid information) is updated too.
Otherwise we'll end up with stale i_mode information if an fd is re-used
while the dentry still hangs around. Not that anything really *cares*
(symlink permissions don't really matter), but Tetsuo Handa noticed that
the owner read/write bits don't always match the state of the
readability of the file descriptor, and we _used_ to get this right a
long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
Besides, aside from fixing an ugly detail (that has apparently been this
way since commit 61a28784028e: "proc: Remove the hard coded inode
numbers" in 2006), this removes more lines of code than it adds. And it
just makes sense to update i_mode in the same place we update i_uid/gid.
Al Viro correctly points out that we could just do the inode fill in the
inode iops ->getattr() function instead. However, that does require
somewhat slightly more invasive changes, and adds yet *another* lookup
of the file descriptor. We need to do the revalidate() for other
reasons anyway, and have the file descriptor handy, so we might as well
fill in the information at this point.

tilegx: enable SYSCALL_WRAPPERS support
Some discussion with the glibc mailing lists revealed that this was
necessary for 64-bit platforms with MIPS-like sign-extension rules
for 32-bit values. The original symptom was that passing (uid_t)-1 to
setreuid() was failing in programs linked -pthread because of the "setxid"
mechanism for passing setxid-type function arguments to the syscall code.
SYSCALL_WRAPPERS handles ensuring that all syscall arguments end up with
proper sign-extension and is thus the appropriate fix for this problem.
On other platforms (s390, powerpc, sparc64, and mips) this was fixed
in 2.6.28.6. The general issue is tracked as CVE-2009-0029.

ACPI / PCI / PM: Fix device PM regression related to D3hot/D3cold
Commit 1cc0c998fdf2 ("ACPI: Fix D3hot v D3cold confusion") introduced a
bug in __acpi_bus_set_power() and changed the behavior of
acpi_pci_set_power_state() in such a way that it generally doesn't work
as expected if PCI_D3hot is passed to it as the second argument.
First off, if ACPI_STATE_D3 (equal to ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD) is passed to
__acpi_bus_set_power() and the explicit_set flag is set for the D3cold
state, the function will try to execute AML method called "_PS4", which
doesn't exist.
Fix this by adding a check to ensure that the name of the AML method
to execute for transitions to ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD is correct in
__acpi_bus_set_power(). Also make sure that the explicit_set flag
for ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD will be set if _PS3 is present and modify
acpi_power_transition() to avoid accessing power resources for
ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD, because they don't exist.
Second, if PCI_D3hot is passed to acpi_pci_set_power_state() as the
target state, the function will request a transition to
ACPI_STATE_D3_HOT instead of ACPI_STATE_D3. However,
ACPI_STATE_D3_HOT is now only marked as supported if the _PR3 AML
method is defined for the given device, which is rare. This causes
problems to happen on systems where devices were successfully put
into ACPI D3 by pci_set_power_state(PCI_D3hot) which doesn't work
now. In particular, some unused graphics adapters are not turned
off as a result.
To fix this issue restore the old behavior of
acpi_pci_set_power_state(), which is to request a transition to
ACPI_STATE_D3 (equal to ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD) if either PCI_D3hot or
PCI_D3cold is passed to it as the argument.
This approach is not ideal, because generally power should not
be removed from devices if PCI_D3hot is the target power state,
but since this behavior is relied on, we have no choice but to
restore it at the moment and spend more time on designing a
better solution in the future.

tcp: do_tcp_sendpages() must try to push data out on oom conditions
Since recent changes on TCP splicing (starting with commits 2f533844
"tcp: allow splice() to build full TSO packets" and 35f9c09f "tcp:
tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() once"), I started seeing
massive stalls when forwarding traffic between two sockets using
splice() when pipe buffers were larger than socket buffers.
Latest changes (net: netdev_alloc_skb() use build_skb()) made the
problem even more apparent.
The reason seems to be that if do_tcp_sendpages() fails on out of memory
condition without being able to send at least one byte, tcp_push() is not
called and the buffers cannot be flushed.
After applying the attached patch, I cannot reproduce the stalls at all
and the data rate it perfectly stable and steady under any condition
which previously caused the problem to be permanent.
The issue seems to have been there since before the kernel migrated to
git, which makes me think that the stalls I occasionally experienced
with tux during stress-tests years ago were probably related to the
same issue.
This issue was first encountered on 3.0.31 and 3.2.17, so please backport
to -stable.

ARM: 7419/1: vfp: fix VFP flushing regression on sigreturn path
Commit ff9a184c ("ARM: 7400/1: vfp: clear fpscr length and stride bits
on entry to sig handler") flushes the VFP state prior to entering a
signal handler so that a VFP operation inside the handler will trap and
force a restore of ABI-compliant registers. Reflushing and disabling VFP
on the sigreturn path is predicated on the saved thread state indicating
that VFP was used by the handler -- however for SMP platforms this is
only set on context-switch, making the check unreliable and causing VFP
register corruption in userspace since the register values are not
necessarily those restored from the sigframe.
This patch unconditionally flushes the VFP state after a signal handler.
Since we already perform the flush before the handler and the flushing
itself happens lazily, the redundant flush when VFP is not used by the
handler is essentially a nop.
