This breaks AMD c1e detection trying to force timer broadcast for the
local apic timer. Copy the code from the 64-bit kernel to force timer
broadcast late.

David Wagner added (among other things) that copy_to_user could be
probably used here.
Ingo Oeser suggested to use simple_read_from_buffer() here.
The conclusion is that proc_do_xprt doesn't check for userside buffer
size indeed so fix this by using Ingo's suggestion.

The git commit 7c5026aa9b81dd45df8d3f4e0be73e485976a8b6 ("tg3: Add
link state reporting to UMP firmware") introduced code that waits for
previous firmware events to be serviced before attempting to submit a
new event. Unfortunately that patch contained a bug that cause the
driver to wait 2.5 seconds, rather than 2.5 milliseconds as intended.
This patch fixes that bug.
This bug revealed that not all firmware versions service driver events
though. Since we do not know which versions of the firmware do and don't
service these events, the driver needs some way to minimize the effects
of the delay. This patch solves the problem by recording a jiffies
timestamp when it submits an event to the hardware. If the jiffies
counter shows that 2.5 milliseconds have already passed, a wait is not
needed and the driver can proceed to submit a new event.

Authenc works in two stages for encryption, it first encrypts and
then computes an ICV. The context memory of the request is used
by both operations. The problem is that when an asynchronous
encryption completes, we will compute the ICV and then reread the
context memory of the encryption to get the original request.
It just happens that we have a buffer of 16 bytes in front of the
request pointer, so ICVs of 16 bytes (such as SHA1) do not trigger
the bug. However, any attempt to uses a larger ICV instantly kills
the machine when the first asynchronous encryption is completed.
This patch fixes this by saving the request pointer before we start
the ICV computation.

First, lmb_enforce_memory_limit() interprets it's argument
(mostly, heh) as a size limit not an address limit. So pass
the raw cmdline_memory_size value into it. And we don't
need to check it against zero, lmb_enforce_memory_limit() does
that for us.
Next, free_initmem() needs special handling when the kernel
command line trims the available memory. The problem case is
if the trimmed out memory is where the kernel image itself
resides.
When that memory is trimmed out, we don't add those physical
ram areas to the sparsemem active ranges, amongst other things.
Which means that this free_initmem() code will free up invalid
page structs, resulting in either crashes or hangs.
Just quick fix this by not freeing initmem at all if "mem="

setup_zone_migrate_reserve() scans the address range 0x0-0x8000000 looking
for a pageblock to move onto the MIGRATE_RESERVE list. Finding no
candidates, it happily continues the scan into 0x8000000-0x44000000. When
a pageblock is found, the pages are moved to the MIGRATE_RESERVE list on
the wrong zone. Oops.
setup_zone_migrate_reserve() should skip pageblocks in overlapping nodes.

Recent changes to tighten the check for UARTs that don't correctly
re-assert THRE (01c194d9278efc15d4785ff205643e9c0bdcef53: "serial 8250:
tighten test for using backup timer") caused problems when such a UART was
opened for the second time - the bug could only successfully be detected
at first initialization. For users of this version of this particular
UART IP it is fatal.
This patch stores the information about the bug in the bugs field of the
port structure when the port is first started up so subsequent opens can
check this bit even if the test for the bug fails.
David Brownell: "My own exposure to this is that the UART on DaVinci
hardware, which TI allegedly derived from its original 16550 logic, has
periodically gone from working to unusable with the mainline 8250.c ...
and back and forth a bunch. Currently it's "unusable", a regression from

spin_lock_irqsave(&r->lock, flags);
...
if (r->entropy_count > r->poolinfo->POOLBITS)
r->entropy_count = r->poolinfo->POOLBITS;
so there is a time window in which this BUG_ON():
static size_t account(struct entropy_store *r, size_t nbytes, int min,
int reserved)
{
unsigned long flags;
BUG_ON(r->entropy_count > r->poolinfo->POOLBITS);
/* Hold lock while accounting */
spin_lock_irqsave(&r->lock, flags);

We could fix this by moving the assertion inside the lock, but it seems
safer and saner to revert to the old behaviour wherein
entropy_store.entropy_count at no time exceeds
entropy_store.poolinfo->POOLBITS.
The direct I/O write codepath for CIFS is done through
cifs_user_write(). That function does not currently call
generic_write_checks() so the file position isn't being properly set
when the file is opened with O_APPEND. It's also not doing the other
"normal" checks that should be done for a write call.
The problem is currently that when you open a file with O_APPEND on a
mount with the directio mount option, the file position is set to the
beginning of the file. This makes any subsequent writes clobber the data
in the file starting at the beginning.
This seems to fix the problem in cursory testing. It is, however
important to note that NFS disallows the combination of
(O_DIRECT|O_APPEND). If my understanding is correct, the concern is
races with multiple clients appending to a file clobbering each others'
data. Since the write model for CIFS and NFS is pretty similar in this
regard, CIFS is probably subject to the same sort of races. What's
unclear to me is why this is a particular problem with O_DIRECT and not
with buffered writes...
Regardless, disallowing O_APPEND on an entire mount is probably not
reasonable, so we'll probably just have to deal with it and reevaluate
this flag combination when we get proper support for O_DIRECT. In the
meantime this patch at least fixes the existing problem.

Fix the checksum feature advertised in device flags. The hardware support
TCP/UDP over IPv4 and TCP/UDP over IPv6 (without IPv6 extension headers).
However, the kernel feature flags do not distinguish IPv6 with/without
extension headers.
Therefore, the driver needs to use NETIF_F_IP_CSUM instead of
NETIF_F_HW_CSUM since the latter includes all IPv6 packets.
A future patch can be created to check for extension headers and perform

bio_copy_kern() uses bio->bv_len to copy data for READ commands after
the completion but it doesn't work with a request that partially
completed. SCSI always completes a PC request as a whole but seems
some don't.
This patch fixes bio_copy_kern to handle the above case. As
bio_copy_user does, bio_copy_kern uses struct bio_map_data to store
struct bio_vec.
__bio_copy_iov() uses bio->bv_len to copy data for READ commands after
the completion but it doesn't work with a request that partially
completed. SCSI always completes a PC request as a whole but seems
some don't.
The Perform Subsystem Function/Prepare for Read Subsystem Data
command requires 12 bytes of parameter data, but the respective data
structure dasd_psf_prssd_data has a length of 16 bytes.
Current storage servers ignore the obsolete bytes, but older models
fail to execute the command and report an incorrect length error.
This causes the device initilization for these devices to fail.
To fix this problem we need to correct the dasd_psf_prssd_data
structure and shorten it to the correct length.

this commit activated a macro which was dormant before due to (buggy)

I've looked through various datasheets and found that the GXm and GXLV
Geode processors don't have an incrementor.
Remove the incrementor setup entirely. As the incrementor value
differs according to clock speed and we would hope that the BIOS
configures it correctly, it is probably the right solution.
Joshua Hoblitt reported that only 3 GB of his 16 GB of RAM is

MTRR settings - which are all wrong.
So the root cause is that the BIOS has not set the mask correctly:

1. user launches a script, whose interpreter is a misc binary;
2. the load_misc_binary sets the misc_bang and returns -ENOEVEC,
since the binary is a script;
3. the load_script_binary loads one and calls for search_binary_hander
to run the interpreter;
4. the load_misc_binary is called again, but refuses to load the
binary due to misc_bang bit set.
The fix is to move the misc_bang setting lower - prior to the actual

Wolfgang also found out that adding kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end()
around the padlock instructions fix the oops.
Suresh wrote:
These padlock instructions though don't use/touch SSE registers, but it behaves
similar to other SSE instructions. For example, it might cause DNA faults
when cr0.ts is set. While this is a spurious DNA trap, it might cause
oops with the recent fpu code changes.
This is the code sequence that is probably causing this problem:
a) new app is getting exec'd and it is somewhere in between
start_thread() and flush_old_exec() in the load_xyz_binary()
b) At pont "a", task's fpu state (like TS_USEDFPU, used_math() etc) is
cleared.
c) Now we get an interrupt/softirq which starts using these encrypt/decrypt
routines in the network stack. This generates a math fault (as
cr0.ts is '1') which sets TS_USEDFPU and restores the math that is
in the task's xstate.
d) Return to exec code path, which does start_thread() which does
free_thread_xstate() and sets xstate pointer to NULL while
the TS_USEDFPU is still set.
e) At the next context switch from the new exec'd task to another task,
we have a scenarios where TS_USEDFPU is set but xstate pointer is null.
This can cause an oops during unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to()
Now:
1) This should happen with or with out pre-emption. Viro also encountered
similar problem with out CONFIG_PREEMPT.
2) kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end() will fix this problem, because
kernel_fpu_begin() will manually do a clts() and won't run in to the
situation of setting TS_USEDFPU in step "c" above.
3) This was working before the fpu changes, because its a spurious
math fault which doesn't corrupt any fpu/sse registers and the task's
math state was always in an allocated state.
With out the recent lazy fpu allocation changes, while we don't see oops,
there is a possible race still present in older kernels(for example,
while kernel is using kernel_fpu_begin() in some optimized clear/copy
page and an interrupt/softirq happens which uses these padlock
instructions generating DNA fault).
This is the failing scenario that existed even before the lazy fpu allocation
changes:
0. CPU's TS flag is set
1. kernel using FPU in some optimized copy routine and while doing
kernel_fpu_begin() takes an interrupt just before doing clts()
2. Takes an interrupt and ipsec uses padlock instruction. And we
take a DNA fault as TS flag is still set.
3. We handle the DNA fault and set TS_USEDFPU and clear cr0.ts
4. We complete the padlock routine
5. Go back to step-1, which resumes clts() in kernel_fpu_begin(), finishes
the optimized copy routine and does kernel_fpu_end(). At this point,
we have cr0.ts again set to '1' but the task's TS_USEFPU is stilll
set and not cleared.
6. Now kernel resumes its user operation. And at the next context
switch, kernel sees it has do a FP save as TS_USEDFPU is still set
and then will do a unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to(). unlazy_fpu()
will take a DNA fault, as cr0.ts is '1' and now, because we are
in __switch_to(), math_state_restore() will get confused and will
restore the next task's FP state and will save it in prev tasks's FP state.
Remember, in __switch_to() we are already on the stack of the next task
but take a DNA fault for the prev task.
This causes the fpu leakage.
Fix the padlock instruction usage by calling them inside the
context of new routines irq_ts_save/restore(), which clear/restore cr0.ts
manually in the interrupt context. This will not generate spurious DNA
in the context of the interrupt which will fix the oops encountered and
the possible FPU leakage issue.

This patch (as1119b) will help to reduce the clutter of usb-storage's
unusual_devs file by automatically detecting some devices that need
the IGNORE_RESIDUE flag. The idea is that devices should never return
a non-zero residue for an INQUIRY or a READ CAPACITY command unless
they failed to transfer all the requested data. So if one of these
commands transfers a standard amount of data but there is a positive
residue, we know that the residue is bogus and we can set the flag.
This fixes the problems reported in Bugzilla #11125.

This patch (as1110) reverts an earlier patch meant to help with
Wireless USB host controllers. These controllers can have bulk
maxpacket values larger than 512, which puts unusual constraints on
the sizes of scatter-gather list elements. However it turns out that
the block layer does not provide the support we need to enforce these
constraints; merely changing the DMA alignment mask doesn't help.
Hence there's no reason to keep the original patch. The Wireless USB
problem will have to be solved a different way.
In addition, there is a reason to get rid of the earlier patch. By
dereferencing a pointer stored in the ep_in array of struct
usb_device, the current code risks an invalid memory access when it
runs concurrently with device removal. The members of that array are
cleared before the driver's disconnect method is called, so it should
not try to use them.

yesterday I tried to reactivate my old 486 box and wanted to install a
current Linux with latest kernel on it. But it turned out that the
latest kernel does not boot because the machine crashes early in the
setup code.
After some debugging it turned out that the problem is the query_ist()
function. If this interrupt with that function is called the machine
simply locks up. It looks like a BIOS bug. Looking for a workaround for
this problem I wrote the attached patch. It checks for the CPUID
instruction and if it is not implemented it does not call the speedstep
BIOS function. As far as I know speedstep should be available since some
Pentium earliest.
Alan Cox observed that it's available since the Pentium II, so cpuid
levels 4 and 5 can be excluded altogether.
H. Peter Anvin cleaned up the code some more:

which, with a small modification to fix a build error with it the
resulting kernel boots on my machine.

rtl8187: Fix lockups due to concurrent access to config routine
With the rtl8187 driver, the config routine is not protected against

be locked with a reset needed to restore communications. This patch

I have a new PCI-E radeon RV380 series card (PCI device ID 5b64) that
hangs in my sparc64 boxes when the init scripts set the font. The problem
goes away if I disable acceleration.
I haven't figured out that bug yet, but along the way I found some
corrections to make based upon some auditing.
1) The RB2D_DC_FLUSH_ALL value used by the kernel fb driver
and the XORG video driver differ. I've made the kernel
match what XORG is using.
2) In radeonfb_engine_reset() we have top-level code structure
that roughly looks like:
if (family is 300, 350, or V350)
do this;
else
do that;
...
if (family is NOT 300, OR
family is NOT 350, OR
family is NOT V350)
do another thing;
this last conditional makes no sense, is always true,
and obviously was likely meant to be "family is NOT
300, 350, or V350". So I've made the code match the
intent.

The driver of ITE8212 in pass-through mode (it8212.noraid=1 on cmndline)
attempts to use the field `.dma_host_set' of the struct ide_dma_ops in
`ide_config_drive_speed' which is set to NULL by default.
So give a value to all fields of the struct ide_dma_ops.
If an OSS application calls SNDCTL_DSP_SYNC, then ALSA will call the driver's
_hw_params and _prepare functions again. On the Freescale MPC8610 DMA ASoC
driver, this caused the DMA controller to be unneccessarily re-programmed, and
apparently it doesn't like that. The DMA will then not operate when
instructed. This patch relocates much of the DMA programming to

The Freescale MPC8610 SSI device has the option of using one clock for both
transmit and receive (synchronous mode), or independent clocks (asynchronous).
The SSI driver, however, programs the SSI into synchronous mode and then
tries to program the clock registers independently. The result is that the wrong
sample size is usually generated during recording.
This patch fixes the discrepancy by restricting the sample rate and sample size
of the playback and capture streams. The SSI driver remembers which stream
is opened first. When a second stream is opened, that stream is constrained
to the same sample rate and size as the first stream.
A future version of this driver will lift the sample size restriction.
Supporting independent sample rates is more difficult, because only certain
codecs provide dual independent clocks.

The magic write to register 0x82 will often cause PCI config space on
my 8168 (PCI ID 10ec:8168, revision 2. mounted in an LG P300 laptop)
to be filled with ones during driver load, and thus breaking NIC
operation until reboot. If it does not happen on first driver load it
can easily be reproduced by unloading and loading the driver a few
times.
The magic write was added long ago by this commit:

When an event (such as an interrupt) is injected, and the stack is
shadowed (and therefore write protected), the guest will exit. The
current code will see that the stack is shadowed and emulate a few
instructions, each time postponing the injection. Eventually the
injection may succeed, but at that time the guest may be unwilling
to accept the interrupt (for example, the TPR may have changed).
This occurs every once in a while during a Windows 2008 boot.
Fix by unshadowing the fault address if the fault was due to an event
injection.

Correct sparc64's implementation of FUTEX_OP_ANDN to do a

AND operation. All other archs that support FUTEX_OP_ANDN
either negate oparg explicitly (frv, ia64, mips, sh, x86),
or do so indirectly by using an and-not instruction (powerpc).
Since sparc64 has and-not, I chose to use that solution.
I've not found any use of FUTEX_OP_ANDN in glibc so the
impact of this bug is probably minor. But other user-space
components may try to use it so it should still get fixed.

* use more data from get_random_bytes for secondary seeding

In the old acer_acpi, I discovered that on some of the newer AMW0 laptops
that supported the WMID methods, they don't work properly for setting the
wireless and bluetooth values.
So for the AMW0 V2 laptops, we want to use both the 'old' AMW0 and the
'new' WMID methods for setting wireless & bluetooth to guarantee we always
enable it.
This was fixed in acer_acpi some time ago, but I forgot to port the patch
over to acer-wmi when it was merged.
(Without this patch, early AMW0 V2 laptops such as the Aspire 5040 won't
work with acer-wmi, where-as they did with the old acer_acpi).
There is a slight chance for a deadlock in the estimator code. We can't call
del_timer_sync() while holding our lock, as the timer might be active and
spinning for the lock on another cpu. Work around this issue by using
try_to_del_timer_sync() and releasing the lock. We could actually delete the
timer outside of our lock, as the add and kill functions are only every called
from userspace via [gs]etsockopt() and are serialized by a mutex, but better
make this explicit.

Some chips appear to have the 2D engine hang during screen redraw,
typically in a sequence of copyarea operations. This appear to be
solved by adding a flush of the engine destination pixel cache
and waiting for the engine to be idle before issuing the accel
operation. The performance impact seems to be fairly small.
Here is a trace on an RV370 (PCI device ID 0x5b64), it records the
RBBM_STATUS register, then the source x/y, destination x/y, and
width/height used for the copy:
When things are going fine the copies complete before the next ROP is
even issued, but all of a sudden the 2D unit becomes active (bit 17 in
RBBM_STATUS) and the FIFO retry (bit 13) and FIFO pipeline busy (bit
14) are set as well. The FIFO begins to backup until it becomes full.
What happens next is the radeon_fifo_wait() times out, and we access
the chip illegally leading to a bus error which usually wedges the
box. None of this makes it to the console screen, of course :-)
radeon_fifo_wait() should be modified to reset the accelerator when
this timeout happens instead of programming the chip anyways.
Another quirk is that these copyarea calls will not happen until the
first drivers/char/vt.c:redraw_screen() occurs. This will only happen
if you 1) VC switch or 2) run "consolechars" or 3) unblank the screen.
This seems to happen because until a redraw_screen() the screen scrolling
method used by fbcon is not finalized yet. I've seen this with other fb
drivers too.
So if all you do is boot straight into X you will never see this bug on
the relevant chips.
