2010-07-08powerpc: Fix module building for gcc 4.5 and 64 bitStephen Rothwell4-4/+138
Gcc 4.5 is now generating out of line register save and restore in the function prefix and postfix when we use -Os. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-07-08powerpc/perf_event: Fix for power_pmu_disable()Matt Evans1-1/+4
When power_pmu_disable() removes the given event from a particular index into cpuhw->event[], it shuffles down higher event[] entries. But, this array is paired with cpuhw->events[] and cpuhw->flags[] so should shuffle them similarly. If these arrays get out of sync, code such as power_check_constraints() will fail. This caused a bug where events were temporarily disabled and then failed to be re-enabled; subsequent code tried to write_pmc() with its (disabled) idx of 0, causing a message "oops trying to write PMC0". This triggers this bug on POWER7, running a miss-heavy test: perf record -e L1-dcache-load-misses -e L1-dcache-store-misses ./misstest Signed-off-by: Matt Evans <matt@ozlabs.org> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2010-07-07bridge: Clear IPCB before possible entry into IP stackHerbert Xu1-0/+3
The bridge protocol lives dangerously by having incestuous relations with the IP stack. In this instance an abomination has been created where a bogus IPCB area from a bridged packet leads to a crash in the IP stack because it's interpreted as IP options. This patch papers over the problem by clearing the IPCB area in that particular spot. To fix this properly we'd also need to parse any IP options if present but I'm way too lazy for that.

2010-07-07drm: correctly update connector DPMS status in drm_fb_helperJesse Barnes1-3/+20
We don't currently update the DPMS status of the connector (both in the connector itself and the connector's DPMS property) in the fb helper code. This means that if the kernel FB core has blanked the screen, sysfs will still show a DPMS status of "on". It also means that when X starts, it will try to light up the connectors, but the drm_crtc_helper code will ignore the DPMS change since according to the connector, the DPMS status is already on. Fixes https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28436 (the annoying "my screen was blanked when I started X and now it won't light up" bug).

2010-07-07drm/ttm: Allocate the page pool manager in the heap.Francisco Jerez2-39/+33
Repeated ttm_page_alloc_init/fini fails noisily because the pool manager kobj isn't zeroed out between uses (we could do just that but statically allocated kobjects are generally considered a bad thing). Move it to kzalloc'ed memory. Note that this patch drops the refcounting behavior of the pool allocator init/fini functions: it would have led to a race condition in its current form, and anyway it was never exploited. This fixes a regression with reloading kms modules at runtime, since page allocator was introduced.

2010-07-06VFS: introduce s_dirty accessorsArtem Bityutskiy1-0/+13
This patch introduces 3 VFS accessors: 'sb_mark_dirty()', 'sb_mark_clean()', and 'sb_is_dirty()'. They simply set 'sb->s_dirt' or test 'sb->s_dirt'. The plan is to make every FS use these accessors later instead of manipulating the 'sb->s_dirt' flag directly. Ultimately, this change is a preparation for the periodic superblock synchronization optimization which is about preventing the "sync_supers" kernel thread from waking up even if there is nothing to synchronize. This patch does not do any functional change, just adds accessor functions. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2010-07-06RDMA/cxgb4: Avoid false GTS CIDX_INC overflowsSteve Wise1-5/+20
The T4 IQ hw design assumes CIDX_INC credits will be returned on a regular basis and always before the CIDX counter crosses over the PIDX counter. For RDMA CQs, however, returning CIDX_INC credits is only needed and desired when and if the CQ is armed for notification. This can lead to a GTS write returning credits that causes the HW to reject the credit update because it causes CIDX to pass PIDX. Once this happens, the CIDX/PIDX counters get out of whack and an application can miss a notification and get stuck blocked awaiting a notification. To avoid this, we allocate the HW IQ 2x times the requested size. This seems to avoid the false overflow failures. If we see more issues with this, then we'll have to add code in the poll path to return credits periodically like when the amount reaches 1/2 the queue depth). I would like to avoid this as it adds a PCI write transaction for applications that never arm the CQ (like most MPIs).

2010-07-06writeback: simplify the write back thread queueChristoph Hellwig3-197/+72
First remove items from work_list as soon as we start working on them. This means we don't have to track any pending or visited state and can get rid of all the RCU magic freeing the work items - we can simply free them once the operation has finished. Second use a real completion for tracking synchronous requests - if the caller sets the completion pointer we complete it, otherwise use it as a boolean indicator that we can free the work item directly. Third unify struct wb_writeback_args and struct bdi_work into a single data structure, wb_writeback_work. Previous we set all parameters into a struct wb_writeback_args, copied it into struct bdi_work, copied it again on the stack to use it there. Instead of just allocate one structure dynamically or on the stack and use it all the way through the stack.

As documented in the GCC 4.5 docs [1] -mmcount-ra-address uses register $12 to pass the stack offset of the return address to the _mcount function. On 64-bit kernels $12 is t0 but in 32-bit kernels it is t4 so we need to use $12 instead of t0 here to be correct for both kernel types.
