mce_timer must be passed to setup_timer() in all cases, no
matter whether it is going to be actually used. Otherwise, when
the CPU gets brought down, its call to del_timer_sync() will
never return, as the timer won't have a base associated, and
hence lock_timer_base() will loop infinitely.
commit 746357d (x86: Prevent GCC 4.4.x (pentium-mmx et al) function
prologue wreckage) uses -mtune=generic to work around the function
prologue problem with mcount on -march=pentium-mmx and others.
Jakub pointed out that we can use -maccumulate-outgoing-args instead
which is selected by -mtune=generic and prevents the problem without
losing the -march specific optimizations.

When the kernel is compiled with -pg for tracing GCC 4.4.x inserts
stack alignment of a function _before_ the mcount prologue if the
-march=pentium-mmx is set and -mtune=generic is not set. This breaks
the assumption of the function graph tracer which expects that the
mcount prologue
push %ebp
mov %esp, %ebp
is the first stack operation in a function because it needs to modify
the function return address on the stack to trap into the tracer
before returning to the real caller.
so the tracer modifies the copy of the return address which is stored
after the stack alignment and therefor does not trap the return which
in turn breaks the call chain logic of the tracer and leads to a
kernel panic.
Aside of the fact that the generated code is horrible for no good
reason other -march -mtune options generate the expected:
push %ebp
mov %esp,%ebp
and $0xfffffff0,%esp
which does the same and keeps everything intact.
After some experimenting we found out that this problem is restricted
to gcc4.4.x and to the following -march settings:
By adding -mtune=generic the code generator produces always the
expected code.
So forcing -mtune=generic when CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER=y is not
pretty, but at the moment the only way to prevent that the kernel
trips over gcc-shrooms induced code madness.
Most distro kernels have CONFIG_X86_GENERIC=y anyway which forces
-mtune=generic as well so it will not impact those.
For a while now, we are issuing a rdmsr instruction to find out which
msrs in our save list are really supported by the underlying machine.
However, it fails to account for kvm-specific msrs, such as the pvclock
ones.
This patch moves then to the beginning of the list, and skip testing them.
This patch moves s390 processor status word into the base kvm_run
struct and keeps it up-to date on all userspace exits.
The userspace ABI is broken by this, however there are no applications
in the wild using this. A capability check is provided so users can
verify the updated API exists.
This patch corrects the checking of the new address for the prefix register.
On s390, the prefix register is used to address the cpu's lowcore (address
0...8k). This check is supposed to verify that the memory is readable and
present.
copy_from_guest is a helper function, that can be used to read from guest
memory. It applies prefixing, adds the start address of the guest memory in
user, and then calls copy_from_user. Previous code was obviously broken for
two reasons:
- prefixing should not be applied here. The current prefix register is
going to be updated soon, and the address we're looking for will be
0..8k after we've updated the register
- we're adding the guest origin (gmsor) twice: once in subject code
and once in copy_from_guest
With kuli, we did not hit this problem because (a) we were lucky with
previous prefix register content, and (b) our guest memory was mmaped
very low into user address space.

The timer stop callback can be called from snd_timer_interrupt(), which

This patch fixes the problem by just toggling a flag at stop callback
and call hrtimer_cancel() later.
Without this we have no gaurantee of the integrity of the
EEPROM and are likely to encounter a lot of bogus bug reports
due to actual issues on the EEPROM. With the EEPROM checksum
check in place we can easily rule those issues out.
If you run patch during a revert *you* have a card with a busted
EEPROM and only older kernel will support that concoction. This
patch is a trade off between not accepitng bogus EEPROMs and
avoiding bogus bug reports allowing developers to focus instead
on real concrete issues.
If stable keeps bogus bug reports because of a possibly busted EEPROM
feel free to apply this there too.

On a multi-node x3950M2 system, there's a slight oddity in the
PCI device tree for all secondary nodes:
30:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev e1)
\-33:00.0 PCI bridge: IBM CalIOC2 PCI-E Root Port (rev 01)
\-34:00.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SAS 1078 (rev 04)
...as compared to the primary node:
00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev e1)
\-01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc ES1000 (rev 02)
03:00.0 PCI bridge: IBM CalIOC2 PCI-E Root Port (rev 01)
\-04:00.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SAS 1078 (rev 04)
In both nodes, the LSI RAID controller hangs off a CalIOC2
device, but on the secondary nodes, the BIOS hides the VGA
device and substitutes the device tree ending with the disk
controller.
It would seem that Calgary devices don't necessarily appear at
the top of the PCI tree, which means that the current code to
find the Calgary IOMMU that goes with a particular device is
buggy.
Rather than walk all the way to the top of the PCI
device tree and try to match bus number with Calgary descriptor,
the code needs to examine each parent of the particular device;
if it encounters a Calgary with a matching bus number, simply
use that.
Otherwise, we BUG() when the bus number of the Calgary doesn't
match the bus number of whatever's at the top of the device tree.
Extra note: This patch appears to work correctly for the x3950
that came before the x3950 M2.

For some devices the ACPI table may define unity map
requirements which must me met when the IOMMU is enabled. So
we need to attach devices to their domains as early as
possible so that these mappings are in place when needed.
This patch assigns the domains right after they are
allocated. Otherwise this can result in I/O page faults
before a driver binds to a device and BIOS is still using
it.

found, wake to that CPU/sibling instead of the waker's CPU.

Impose a clear locking design on the note_new_gpnum()
function's use of the ->gpnum counter. This is done by updating
rdp->gpnum only from the corresponding leaf rcu_node structure's
rnp->gpnum field, and even then only under the protection of
that same rcu_node structure's ->lock field. Performance and
scalability are maintained using a form of double-checked
locking, and excessive spinning is avoided by use of the
spin_trylock() function. The use of spin_trylock() is safe due
to the fact that CPUs who fail to acquire this lock will try
again later. The hierarchical nature of the rcu_node data
structure limits contention (which could be limited further if
need be using the RCU_FANOUT kernel parameter).
Without this patch, obscure but quite possible races could
result in a quiescent state that occurred during one grace
period to be accounted to the following grace period, causing
this following grace period to end prematurely. Not good!
Impose a clear locking design on the rcu_process_gp_end()
function's use of the ->completed counter. This is done by
creating a ->completed field in the rcu_node structure, which
can safely be accessed under the protection of that structure's
lock. Performance and scalability are maintained by using a
form of double-checked locking, so that rcu_process_gp_end()
only acquires the leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock if a grace
period has recently ended.
This fix reduces rcutorture failure rate by at least two orders
of magnitude under heavy stress with force_quiescent_state()
being invoked artificially often. Without this fix,
unsynchronized access to the ->completed field can cause
rcu_process_gp_end() to advance callbacks whose grace period has
not yet expired. (Bad idea!)
Impose a clear locking design on non-NO_HZ handling of the
->completed counter. This increases the distance between the
RCU and the CPU-hotplug mechanisms.

This patch fixes three problems in the handling of the
EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT ioctl:
1. In current EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, there are read access mode checks for
original and donor files, but they allow the illegal write access to
donor file, since donor file is overwritten by original file data. To
fix this problem, change access mode checks of original (r->r/w) and
donor (r->w) files.
2. Disallow the use of donor files that have a setuid or setgid bits.
3. Call mnt_want_write() and mnt_drop_write() before and after
ext4_move_extents() calling to get write access to a mount.
We cannot rely on buffer dirty bits during fsync because pdflush can come
before fsync is called and clear dirty bits without forcing a transaction
commit. What we do is that we track which transaction has last changed
the inode and which transaction last changed allocation and force it to
disk on fsync.

Inside ->setattr() call both ATTR_UID and ATTR_GID may be valid
This means that we may end-up with transferring all quotas. Add
we have to reserve QUOTA_DEL_BLOCKS for all quotas, as we do in
case of QUOTA_INIT_BLOCKS.
Currently all quota block reservation macros contains hard-coded "2"
aka MAXQUOTAS value. This is no good because in some places it is not
obvious to understand what does this digit represent. Let's introduce
new macro with self descriptive name.
There is a potential race when a transaction is committing right when
the file system is being umounting. This could reduce in a race
because EXT4_SB(sb)->s_group_info could be freed in ext4_put_super
before the commit code calls a callback so the mballoc code can
release freed blocks in the transaction, resulting in a panic trying
to access the freed s_group_info.
The fix is to wait for the transaction to finish committing before we
shutdown the multiblock allocator.
When ext4_write_begin fails after allocating some blocks or
generic_perform_write fails to copy data to write, we truncate blocks
already instantiated beyond i_size. Although these blocks were never
inside i_size, we have to truncate the pagecache of these blocks so
that corresponding buffers get unmapped. Otherwise subsequent
__block_prepare_write (called because we are retrying the write) will
find the buffers mapped, not call ->get_block, and thus the page will
be backed by already freed blocks leading to filesystem and data
corruption.

Integrate duplicate lines (acquire/release semaphore and invalidate
extent cache in move_extent_per_page()) into mext_replace_branches(),
to reduce source and object code size.
The move_extent.moved_len is used to pass back the number of exchanged
blocks count to user space. Currently the caller must clear this
field; but we spend more code space checking for this requirement than
simply zeroing the field ourselves, so let's just make life easier for
everyone all around.
At the beginning of ext4_move_extent(), we call
ext4_discard_preallocations() to discard inode PAs of orig and donor
inodes. But in the following case, blocks can be double freed, so
move ext4_discard_preallocations() to the end of ext4_move_extents().
1. Discard inode PAs of orig and donor inodes with
ext4_discard_preallocations() in ext4_move_extents().
orig : [ DATA1 ]
donor: [ DATA2 ]
2. While data blocks are exchanging between orig and donor inodes, new
inode PAs is created to orig by other process's block allocation.
(Since there are semaphore gaps in ext4_move_extents().) And new
inode PAs is used partially (2-1).
2-1 Create new inode PAs to orig inode
orig : [ DATA1 | used PA1 | free PA1 ]
donor: [ DATA2 ]
3. Donor inode which has old orig inode's blocks is deleted after
EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT finished (3-1, 3-2). So the block bitmap
corresponds to old orig inode's blocks are freed.
3-1 After EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT finished
orig : [ DATA2 | free PA1 ]
donor: [ DATA1 | used PA1 ]
4. The double-free of blocks is occurred, when close() is called to
orig inode. Because ext4_discard_preallocations() for orig inode
frees used PA1 and free PA1, though used PA1 is already freed in 3.
Users on the linux-ext4 list recently complained about differences
across filesystems w.r.t. how to mount without a journal replay.
In the discussion it was noted that xfs's "norecovery" option is
perhaps more descriptively accurate than "noload," so let's make
that an alias for ext4.
It is anticipated that when sb_issue_discard starts doing
real work on trim-capable devices, we may see issues. Make
this mount-time optional, and default it to off until we know
that things are working out OK.
When an error happened in ext4_splice_branch we failed to notice that
in ext4_ind_get_blocks and mapped the buffer anyway. Fix the problem

We need to be testing the i_flags field in the ext4 specific portion
of the inode, instead of the (confusingly aliased) i_flags field in
the generic struct inode.
When an inode gets unlinked, the functions ext4_clear_blocks() and
ext4_remove_blocks() call ext4_forget() for all the buffer heads
corresponding to the deleted inode's data blocks. If the inode is a
directory or a symlink, the is_metadata parameter must be non-zero so
ext4_forget() will revoke them via jbd2_journal_revoke(). Otherwise,
if these blocks are reused for a data file, and the system crashes
before a journal checkpoint, the journal replay could end up
corrupting these data blocks.
Thanks to Curt Wohlgemuth for pointing out potential problems in this
area.
One of the invalid error paths in ext4_iget() forgot to brelse() the
inode buffer head. Fix it by adding a brelse() in the common error
return path, which also simplifies function.
Thanks to Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> reporting the problem.
If CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is enabled, the double_down_write_data_sem()
will trigger a false-positive warning of a recursive lock. Since we
take i_data_sem for the two inodes ordered by their inode numbers,
this isn't a problem. Use of down_write_nested() will notify the lock
dependency checker machinery that there is no problem here.
ext4_move_extents() checks the logical block contiguousness
of original file with ext4_find_extent() and mext_next_extent().
Therefore the extent which ext4_ext_path structure indicates
must not be changed between above functions.
But in current implementation, there is no i_data_sem protection
between ext4_ext_find_extent() and mext_next_extent(). So the extent
which ext4_ext_path structure indicates may be overwritten by
delalloc. As a result, ext4_move_extents() will exchange wrong blocks
between original and donor files. I change the place where
acquire/release i_data_sem to solve this problem.
Moreover, I changed move_extent_per_page() to start transaction first,
and then acquire i_data_sem. Without this change, there is a
possibility of the deadlock between mmap() and ext4_move_extents():
* NOTE: "A", "B" and "C" mean different processes
A-1: ext4_ext_move_extents() acquires i_data_sem of two inodes.
B: do_page_fault() starts the transaction (T),
and then tries to acquire i_data_sem.
But process "A" is already holding it, so it is kept waiting.
C: While "A" and "B" running, kjournald2 tries to commit transaction (T)
but it is under updating, so kjournald2 waits for it.
A-2: Call ext4_journal_start with holding i_data_sem,
but transaction (T) is locked.
If the EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT ioctl fails, the number of blocks that were
exchanged before the failure should be returned to the userspace
caller. Unfortunately, currently if the block size is not the same as
the page size, the returned block count that is returned is the
page-aligned block count instead of the actual block count. This
commit addresses this bug.
If s_log_groups_per_flex is greater than 31, then groups_per_flex will
will overflow and cause a divide by zero error. This can cause kernel
BUG if such a file system is mounted.
Thanks to Nageswara R Sastry for analyzing the failure and providing
an initial patch.
Previously add_dirent_to_buf() did not free its passed-in buffer head
in the case of ENOSPC, since in some cases the caller still needed it.
However, this led to potential buffer head leaks since not all callers
dealt with this correctly. Fix this by making simplifying the freeing
convention; now add_dirent_to_buf() *never* frees the passed-in buffer
head, and leaves that to the responsibility of its caller. This makes
things cleaner and easier to prove that the code is neither leaking
buffer heads or calling brelse() one time too many.

All architectures in the kernel increment/decrement the stack pointer
before storing values on the stack.
On architectures which have the stack grow down sas_ss_sp == sp is not
on the alternate signal stack while sas_ss_sp + sas_ss_size == sp is
on the alternate signal stack.
On architectures which have the stack grow up sas_ss_sp == sp is on
the alternate signal stack while sas_ss_sp + sas_ss_size == sp is not
on the alternate signal stack.
The current implementation fails for architectures which have the
stack grow down on the corner case where sas_ss_sp == sp.This was
reported as Debian bug #544905 on AMD64.
Simplified test case: http://download.breakpoint.cc/tc-sig-stack.c
The test case creates the following stack scenario:
0xn0300 stack top
0xn0200 alt stack pointer top (when switching to alt stack)
0xn01ff alt stack end
0xn0100 alt stack start == stack pointer
If the signal is sent the stack pointer is pointing to the base
address of the alt stack and the kernel erroneously decides that it
has already switched to the alternate stack because of the current
check for "sp - sas_ss_sp < sas_ss_size"
On parisc (stack grows up) the scenario would be:
0xn0200 stack pointer
0xn01ff alt stack end
0xn0100 alt stack start = alt stack pointer base
(when switching to alt stack)
0xn0000 stack base
This is handled correctly by the current implementation.
[ tglx: Modified for archs which have the stack grow up (parisc) which
would fail with the correct implementation for stack grows
down. Added a check for sp >= current->sas_ss_sp which is
strictly not necessary but makes the code symetric for both
variants ]

modules: don't export section names of empty sections via sysfs
On the parisc architecture we face for each and every loaded kernel module
this kernel "badness warning":
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/module/ac97_bus/sections/.text'
Badness at fs/sysfs/dir.c:487
Reason for that is, that on parisc all kernel modules do have multiple
.text sections due to the usage of the -ffunction-sections compiler flag
which is needed to reach all jump targets on this platform.
An objdump on such a kernel module gives:
Sections:
Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn
0 .note.gnu.build-id 00000024000000000000000000000034 2**2
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA
1 .text 00000000000000000000000000000058 2**0
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE
2 .text.ac97_bus_match 0000001c000000000000000000000058 2**2
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE
3 .text 000000000000000000000000000000d4 2**0
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE
...
Since the .text sections are empty (size of 0 bytes) and won't be
loaded by the kernel module loader anyway, I don't see a reason
why such sections need to be listed under
/sys/module/<module_name>/sections/<section_name> either.
The attached patch does solve this issue by not exporting section
names which are empty.
This fixes bugzilla http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14703

[ARM] pxamci: call mmc_remove_host() before freeing resources
mmc_remove_host() will cause the mmc core to switch off the bus power by
eventually calling pxamci_set_ios(). This function uses the regulator or
the GPIO which have been freed already.

rtc-x1205: fix rtc_time to y2k register value conversion
The possible CCR_Y2K register values are 19 or 20 and struct rtc_time's
tm_year is in years since 1900.
The function translating rtc_time to register values assumes tm_year to be
years since first christmas, though, and we end up storing 0 or 1 in the
CCR_Y2K register, which the hardware does not refuse to do.
A subsequent probing of the clock fails due to the invalid value range in
the register, though.
[ And if it didn't, reading the clock would yield a bogus year because
the function translating registers to tm_year is assuming a register
value of 19 or 20. ]
This fixes the conversion from years since 1900 in tm_year to the
corresponding CCR_Y2K value of 19 or 20.

kbuild: stepping down as maintainer
It has been fun but the last year or more it has been a duty and a burden.
So I leave it open for others to take over.

Following issues have been addressed on DA8XX/OMAP-L1XX:
a. Screen misalignment during booting when frame buffer console is
enabled.
b. Driver was configured always in PSEUDOCOLOR mode. This patch
dynamically configures the driver either in PSEUDOCOLOUR or TRUECOLOR
mode depending on bpp.
c. The RED and BLUE offsets were interchanged resulting in wrong
bootup logo colour.
This patch has been tested on DA830/OMAP-L137 and DA850/OMAP-L138 EVMs.
