2011-05-02tg3: Fix failure to enable WoL by default when possibleRafael J. Wysocki1-2/+6
tg3 is supposed to enable WoL by default on adapters which support that, but it fails to do so unless the adapter's /sys/devices/.../power/wakeup file contains 'enabled' during the initialization of the adapter. Fix that by making tg3 use device_set_wakeup_enable() to enable wakeup automatically whenever WoL should be enabled by default. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl> Signed-off-by: David S.

mask_rw_pte is currently checking if a pfn is a pagetable page if it falls in the range pgt_buf_start - pgt_buf_end but that is incorrect because pgt_buf_end is a moving target: pgt_buf_top is the real boundary.

2011-05-02xen/mmu: Add workaround "x86-64, mm: Put early page table high"Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk1-0/+123
As a consequence of the commit: commit 4b239f458c229de044d6905c2b0f9fe16ed9e01e Author: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Date: Fri Dec 17 16:58:28 2010 -0800 x86-64, mm: Put early page table high it causes the Linux kernel to crash under Xen: mapping kernel into physical memory Xen: setup ISA identity maps about to get started... (XEN) mm.c:2466:d0 Bad type (saw 7400000000000001 != exp 1000000000000000) for mfn b1d89 (pfn bacf7) (XEN) mm.c:3027:d0 Error while pinning mfn b1d89 (XEN) traps.c:481:d0 Unhandled invalid opcode fault/trap [#6] on VCPU 0 [ec=0000] (XEN) domain_crash_sync called from entry.S (XEN) Domain 0 (vcpu#0) crashed on cpu#0: ... The reason is that at some point init_memory_mapping is going to reach the pagetable pages area and map those pages too (mapping them as normal memory that falls in the range of addresses passed to init_memory_mapping as argument). Some of those pages are already pagetable pages (they are in the range pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_end) therefore they are going to be mapped RO and everything is fine. Some of these pages are not pagetable pages yet (they fall in the range pgt_buf_end-pgt_buf_top; for example the page at pgt_buf_end) so they are going to be mapped RW. When these pages become pagetable pages and are hooked into the pagetable, xen will find that the guest has already a RW mapping of them somewhere and fail the operation. The reason Xen requires pagetables to be RO is that the hypervisor needs to verify that the pagetables are valid before using them. The validation operations are called "pinning" (more details in arch/x86/xen/mmu.c). In order to fix the issue we mark all the pages in the entire range pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_top as RO, however when the pagetable allocation is completed only the range pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_end is reserved by init_memory_mapping. Hence the kernel is going to crash as soon as one of the pages in the range pgt_buf_end-pgt_buf_top is reused (b/c those ranges are RO). For this reason, this function is introduced which is called _after_ the init_memory_mapping has completed (in a perfect world we would call this function from init_memory_mapping, but lets ignore that). Because we are called _after_ init_memory_mapping the pgt_buf_[start, end,top] have all changed to new values (b/c another init_memory_mapping is called). Hence, the first time we enter this function, we save away the pgt_buf_start value and update the pgt_buf_[end,top]. When we detect that the "old" pgt_buf_start through pgt_buf_end PFNs have been reserved (so memblock_x86_reserve_range has been called), we immediately set out to RW the "old" pgt_buf_end through pgt_buf_top. And then we update those "old" pgt_buf_[end|top] with the new ones so that we can redo this on the next pagetable. Acked-by: "H.

2011-05-02UBIFS: seek journal heads to the latest bud in replayArtem Bityutskiy1-6/+12
This is the second fix of the following symptom: UBIFS error (pid 34456): could not find an empty LEB which sometimes happens after power cuts when we mount the file-system - UBIFS refuses it with the above error message which comes from the 'ubifs_rcvry_gc_commit()' function. I can reproduce this using the integck test with the UBIFS power cut emulation enabled. Analysis of the problem. Currently UBIFS replay seeks the journal heads to the last _replayed_ bud. But the buds are replayed out-of-order, so the replay basically seeks journal heads to the "random" bud belonging to this head, and not to the _last_ one. The result of this is that the GC head may be seeked to a full LEB with no free space, or very little free space. And 'ubifs_rcvry_gc_commit()' tries to find a fully or mostly dirty LEB to match the current GC head (because we need to garbage-collect that dirty LEB at one go, because we do not have @c->gc_lnum). So 'ubifs_find_dirty_leb()' fails and we fall back to finding an empty LEB and also fail. As a result - recovery fails and mounting fails. This patch teaches the replay to initialize the GC heads exactly to the latest buds, i.e. the buds which have the largest sequence number in corresponding log reference nodes.

2011-05-02UBIFS: do not free write-buffers when in R/O modeArtem Bityutskiy2-31/+4
Currently UBIFS has a small optimization - it frees write-buffers when it is re-mounted from R/W mode to R/O mode. Of course, when it is mounted R/O, it does not allocate write-buffers as well. This optimization is nice but it leads to subtle problems and complications in recovery, which I can reproduce using the integck test. The symptoms are that after a power cut the file-system cannot be mounted if we first mount it R/O, and then re-mount R/W - 'ubifs_rcvry_gc_commit()' prints: UBIFS error (pid 34456): could not find an empty LEB Analysis of the problem. When mounting R/W, the reply process sets journal heads to buds [1], but when mounting R/O - it does not do this, because the write-buffers are not allocated. So 'ubifs_rcvry_gc_commit()' works completely differently for the same file-system but for the following 2 cases: 1. mounting R/W after a power cut and recover 2. mounting R/O after a power cut, re-mounting R/W and run deferred recovery In the former case, we have journal heads seeked to the a bud, in the latter case, they are non-seeked (wbuf->lnum == -1). So in the latter case we do not try to recover the GC LEB by garbage-collecting to the GC head, but we just try to find an empty LEB, and there may be no empty LEBs, so we just fail. On the other hand, in the former case (mount R/W), we are able to make a GC LEB (@c->gc_lnum) by garbage-collecting. Thus, let's remove this small nice optimization and always allocate write-buffers. This should not make too big difference - we have only 3 of them, each of max. write unit size, which is usually 2KiB. So this is about 6KiB of RAM for the typical case, and only when mounted R/O. [1]: Note, currently the replay process is setting (seeking) the journal heads to _some_ buds, not necessarily to the buds which had been the journal heads before the power cut happened. This will be fixed separately. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org

2011-05-01x86, NUMA: Fix empty memblk detection in numa_cleanup_meminfo()Yinghai Lu1-1/+1
numa_cleanup_meminfo() trims each memblk between low (0) and high (max_pfn) limits and discards empty ones. However, the emptiness detection incorrectly used equality test. If the start of a memblk is higher than max_pfn, it is empty but fails the equality test and doesn't get discarded. The condition triggers when max_pfn is lower than start of a NUMA node and results in memory misconfiguration - leading to WARN_ON()s and other funnies. The bug was discovered in devel branch where 32bit too uses this code path for NUMA init. If a node is above the addressing limit, max_pfn ends up lower than the node triggering this problem. The failure hasn't been observed on x86-64 but is still possible with broken hardware e820/NUMA info. As the fix is very low risk, it would be better to apply it even for 64bit. Fix it by using >= instead of ==.

Older AMD K8 processors (Revisions A-E) are affected by erratum 400 (APIC timer interrupts don't occur in C states greater than C1). This, for example, means that X86_FEATURE_ARAT flag should not be set for these parts. This addresses regression introduced by commit b87cf80af3ba4b4c008b4face3c68d604e1715c6 ("x86, AMD: Set ARAT feature on AMD processors") where the system may become unresponsive until external interrupt (such as keyboard input) occurs. This results, for example, in time not being reported correctly, lack of progress on the system and other lockups.

Noting that this error occured on a serdes based device, we noted that there were a few ethtool operations (most notably self_test and set_phys_id) that have execution paths that lead into bnx2_setup_serdes_phy. This function is notable because it executes a mod_timer call, which starts the bp->timer running. Currently bnx2 is setup to assume that this timer only nees to be stopped when bnx2_close or bnx2_suspend is called. Since the above ethtool operations are not gated on the net device having been opened however, that assumption is incorrect, and can lead to the timer still running after the module has been removed, leading to the oops above (as well as other simmilar oopses). Fix the problem by ensuring that the timer is stopped when pci_device_unregister is called.

2011-04-29workqueue: fix deadlock in worker_maybe_bind_and_lock()Tejun Heo1-1/+7
If a rescuer and stop_machine() bringing down a CPU race with each other, they may deadlock on non-preemptive kernel. The CPU won't accept a new task, so the rescuer can't migrate to the target CPU, while stop_machine() can't proceed because the rescuer is holding one of the CPU retrying migration. GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED is never cleared and worker_maybe_bind_and_lock() retries indefinitely. This problem can be reproduced semi reliably while the system is entering suspend. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1122051 A lot of kudos to Thilo-Alexander for reporting this tricky issue and painstaking testing. stable: This affects all kernels with cmwq, so all kernels since and including v2.6.36 need this fix.

2011-04-29ARM: 6891/1: prevent heap corruption in OABI semtimedopDan Rosenberg1-1/+1
When CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT is set, the wrapper for semtimedop does not bound the nsops argument. A sufficiently large value will cause an integer overflow in allocation size, followed by copying too much data into the allocated buffer. Fix this by restricting nsops to SEMOPM. Untested.

2011-04-29hrtimer: Initialize CLOCK_ID to HRTIMER_BASE table staticallyThomas Gleixner1-5/+5
Sedat and Bruno reported RCU stalls which turned out to be caused by the following; sched_init() calls init_rt_bandwidth() which calls hrtimer_init() _BEFORE_ hrtimers_init() is called. While not entirely correct this worked because hrtimer_init() only accessed statically initialized data (hrtimer_bases.clock_base[CLOCK_MONOTONIC]) Commit e06383db9 (hrtimers: extend hrtimer base code to handle more then 2 clockids) added an indirection to the hrtimer_bases.clock_base lookup to avoid gap handling in the hot path. The table which is used for the translataion from CLOCK_ID to HRTIMER_BASE index is initialized at runtime in hrtimers_init(). So the early call of the scheduler code translates CLOCK_MONOTONIC to HRTIMER_BASE_REALTIME. Thus the rt_bandwith timer ends up on CLOCK_REALTIME. If the timer is armed and the wall clock time is set (e.g. ntpdate in the early boot process - which also gives the problem deterministic behaviour i.e. magic recovery after N hours), then the timer ends up with an expiry time far into the future. That breaks the RT throttler mechanism as rt runtime is accumulated and never cleared, so the rt throttler detects a false cpu hog condition and blocks all RT tasks until the timer finally expires. That in turn stalls the RCU thread of TINYRCU which leads to an huge amount of RCU callbacks piling up. Make the translation table statically initialized, so we are back to the status of <= 2.6.39.

2011-04-29[S390] irqstats: fix counting of pfault, dasd diag and virtio irqsHeiko Carstens3-3/+3
pfault, dasd diag and virtio all use the same external interrupt number. The respective interrupt handlers decide by the subcode if they are meant to handle the interrupt. Counting is currently done before looking at the subcode which means each handler counts an interrupt even if it is not handling it. Fix this by moving the kstat code after the code which looks at the subcode. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

2011-04-28ARM: kprobes: Reject probing of undefined data processing instructionsJon Medhurst1-14/+17
The instruction decoding in space_cccc_000x needs to reject probing of instructions with undefined patterns as they may in future become defined and then emulated faultily - as has already happened with the SMC instruction. This fix is achieved by testing for the instruction patterns we want to probe and making the the default fall-through paths reject probes. This also allows us to remove some explicit tests for instructions that we wish to reject, as that is now the default action.
