2008-01-11[MIPS] Malta: Fix software reset on big endianDmitri Vorobiev
I noticed that the commit f197465384bf7ef1af184c2ed1a4e268911a91e3 (MIPS Tech: Get rid of volatile in core code) broke the software reset functionality for MIPS Malta boards in big-endian mode. According to the MIPS Malta board user's manual, writing the magic 32-bit GORESET value into the SOFTRES register initiates board soft reset. My experimentation has shown that the endianness of the GORESET integer should thereby be the same as the endianness, which has been set for the CPU itself. The writew() function used to write the magic value in the code introduced by the commit mentioned above, however, swaps bytes for big-endian kernels and transfers 16 bits instead of 32. The patch below replaces the writew() function by the __raw_writel() routine, which leaves the byte order intact and transfers the whole MIPS machine word. Trivial code cleanup (replacing spaces by a tab and cutting oversized lines to make checkpatch.pl happy) is also included. The patch was tested using a Malta evaluation board running in both BE and LE modes. For both modes, software reset was fully functional after the change. P.S. I suspect that the same commit broke the "standby" functionality for MIPS Atlas boards. However, I did not touch the Atlas code as I don't have such board at my disposal and also because the linux-mips.org Web site claims that Atlas support is scheduled for removal.

Commit aed3a8c9bb1a8623a618232087c5ff62718e3b9a introduced a definition of notify_spus_active in .../cell/spu_syscalls.c, and another definition under #ifndef MODULE in .../cell/spufs/sched.c.

After 17d57a9206b4de6ad082ac9f2d2346985abbd2aa ("x86: fix x86-32 early fixmap initialization.") removing lg.ko caused a printk from vunmap: mm/memory.c:115: bad pgd 004b3027.

2007-12-21x86: fix die() to not be preemptibleIngo Molnar
Andrew "Eagle Eye" Morton noticed that we use raw_local_save_flags() instead of raw_local_irq_save(flags) in die(). This allows the preemption of oopsing contexts - which is highly undesirable. It also causes CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT to complain, as reported by Miles Lane. this bug was introduced via: commit 39743c9ef717fd4f2b5583f010115c5f2482b8ae Author: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Date: Fri Oct 19 20:35:03 2007 +0200 x86: use raw locks during oopses - spin_lock_irqsave(&die.lock, flags); + __raw_spin_lock(&die.lock); + raw_local_save_flags(flags); that is not a correct open-coding of spin_lock_irqsave(): both the ordering is wrong (irqs should be disabled _first_), and the wrong flags-saving API was used.

2007-12-18[IA64] Avoid unnecessary TLB flushes when allocating memoryde Dinechin, Christophe (Integrity VM)
Improve performance of memory allocations on ia64 by avoiding a global TLB purge to purge a single page from the file cache. This happens whenever we evict a page from the buffer cache to make room for some other allocation. Test case: Run 'find /usr -type f | xargs cat > /dev/null' in the background to fill the buffer cache, then run something that uses memory, e.g. 'gmake -j50 install'. Instrumentation showed that the number of global TLB purges went from a few millions down to about 170 over a 12 hours run of the above. The performance impact is particularly noticeable under virtualization, because a virtual TLB is generally both larger and slower to purge than a physical one.

2007-12-18x86: fix "Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work!"Ingo Molnar
this is the tale of a full day spent debugging an ancient but elusive bug. after booting up thousands of random .config kernels, i finally happened to generate a .config that produced the following rare bootup failure on 32-bit x86: | ..TIMER: vector=0x31 apic1=0 pin1=2 apic2=-1 pin2=-1 | ..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC | ...trying to set up timer (IRQ0) through the 8259A ... failed. | ...trying to set up timer as Virtual Wire IRQ... failed. | ...trying to set up timer as ExtINT IRQ... failed :(. | Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work! Boot with apic=debug | and send a report. Then try booting with the 'noapic' option this bug has been reported many times during the years, but it was never reproduced nor fixed. the bug that i hit was extremely sensitive to .config details. First i did a .config-bisection - suspecting some .config detail. That led to CONFIG_X86_MCE: enabling X86_MCE magically made the bug disappear and the system would boot up just fine. Debugging my way through the MCE code ended up identifying two unlikely candidates: the thing that made a real difference to the hang was that X86_MCE did two printks: Intel machine check architecture supported. Intel machine check reporting enabled on CPU#1. Adding the same printks to a !CONFIG_X86_MCE kernel made the bug go away! this left timing as the main suspect: i experimented with adding various udelay()s to the arch/x86/kernel/io_apic_32.c:check_timer() function, and the race window turned out to be narrower than 30 microseconds (!). That made debugging especially funny, debugging without having printk ability before the bug hits is ... interesting ;-) eventually i started suspecting IRQ activities - those are pretty much the only thing that happen this early during bootup and have the timescale of a few dozen microseconds. Also, check_timer() changes the IRQ hardware in various creative ways, so the main candidate became IRQ0 interaction. i've added a counter to track timer irqs (on which core they arrived, at what exact time, etc.) and found that no timer IRQ would arrive after the bug condition hits - even if we re-enable IRQ0 and re-initialize the i8259A, but that we'd get a small number of timer irqs right around the time when we call the check_timer() function. Eventually i got the following backtrace triggered from debug code in the timer interrupt: ...trying to set up timer as Virtual Wire IRQ... failed. ...trying to set up timer as ExtINT IRQ...

Wait ... we have an IRQ0 entry while we are in the middle of setting up the local APIC, the i8259A and the PIT?? That is certainly not how it's supposed to work! check_timer() was supposed to be called with irqs turned off - but this eroded away sometime in the past. This code would still work most of the time because this code runs very quickly, but just the right timing conditions are present and IRQ0 hits in this small, ~30 usecs window, timer irqs stop and the system does not boot up. Also, given how early this is during bootup, the hang is very deterministic - but it would only occur on certain machines (and certain configs). The fix was quite simple: disable/restore interrupts properly in this function. With that in place the test-system now boots up just fine. (64-bit x86 io_apic_64.c had the same bug.) Phew!

2007-12-18x86: kprobes bugfixMasami Hiramatsu
Kprobes for x86-64 may cause a kernel crash if it inserted on "iret" instruction. "call absolute" is invalid on x86-64, so we don't need treat it. - Change the processing order as same as x86-32. - Add "iret"(0xcf) case. - Remove next_rip local variable.

2007-12-18x86: jprobe bugfixMasami Hiramatsu
jprobe for x86-64 may cause kernel page fault when the jprobe_return() is called from incorrect function. - Use jprobe_saved_regs instead getting it from stack. (Especially on x86-64, it may get incorrect data, because pt_regs can not be get by using container_of(rsp)) - Change the type of stack pointer to unsigned long *.
