In case of normal kexec kernel load, all cpu's are offlined before calling machine_kexec().But in case crash panic cpus are relaxed in machine_crash_nonpanic_core() SMP function but not offlined. When crash kernel is loaded with kexec and on panic trigger machine_kexec() checks for number of cpus online. If more than one cpu is online machine_kexec() fails to load with below error kexec: error: multiple CPUs still online In machine_crash_nonpanic_core() SMP function, offline CPU before cpu_relax Signed-off-by: NVijaya Kumar K <Vijaya.Kumar@caviumnetworks.com> Acked-by: NStephen Warren <swarren@wwwdotorg.org> Acked-by: NWill Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Signed-off-by: NRussell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

Architectures should fully validate whether kexec is possible as part of machine_kexec_prepare(), so that user-space's kexec_load() operation can report any problems. Performing validation in machine_kexec() itself is too late, since it is not allowed to return. Prior to this patch, ARM's machine_kexec() was testing after-the-fact whether machine_kexec_prepare() was able to disable all but one CPU. Instead, modify machine_kexec_prepare() to validate all conditions necessary for machine_kexec_prepare()'s to succeed. BUG if the validation succeeded, yet disabling the CPUs didn't actually work.

It is possible to construct an event group with a software event as a group leader and then subsequently add a hardware event to the group. This results in the event group being validated by adding all members of the group to a fake PMU and attempting to allocate each event on their respective PMU. Unfortunately, for software events wthout a corresponding arm_pmu, this results in a kernel crash attempting to dereference the ->get_event_idx function pointer. This patch fixes the problem by checking explicitly for software events and ignoring those in event validation (since they can always be scheduled). We will probably want to revisit this for 3.12, since the validation checks don't appear to work correctly when dealing with multiple hardware PMUs anyway.

Commit 621a0147 ("ARM: 7757/1: mm: don't flush icache in switch_mm with hardware broadcasting") breaks the boot on OMAP2430SDP with omap2plus_defconfig. Tracked to an undefined instruction abort from the CP15 read in cache_ops_need_broadcast(). It turns out that gcc 4.5 reorders the extended CP15 read above the is_smp() test. This breaks ARM1136 r0 cores, since they don't support several CP15 registers that later ARM cores do. ARM1136JF-S TRM section 3.2.1 "Register allocation" has the details. So mark the extended CP15 read as clobbering memory, which prevents the compiler from reordering it before the is_smp() test. Russell states that the code generated from this approach is preferable to marking the inline asm as volatile. Remove the existing condition code clobber as it's obsolete, per Nico's post: http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg261208.html This patch is a collaboration with Will Deacon and Russell King.

a.out support on ARM requires that argc, argv and envp are passed in r0-r2 respectively, which requires hacking load_aout_binary to prevent argc being clobbered by the return code. Whilst mainline kernels do set the registers up in start_thread, the aout loader has never carried the hack in mainline. Initialising the registers in this way actually goes against the libc expectations for ELF binaries, where argc, argv and envp are passed on the stack, with r0 being used to hold a pointer to an exit function for cleaning up after the dynamic linker if required. If the pointer is NULL, then it is ignored. When execing an ELF binary, Linux currently zeroes r0, then sets it to argc and then finally clobbers it with the return value of the execve syscall, so we actually end up with: r0 = 0 stack[0] = argc r1 = stack[1] = argv r2 = stack[2] = envp libc treats r1 and r2 as undefined. The clobbering of r0 by sys_execve works for user-spawned threads, but when executing an ELF binary from a kernel thread (via call_usermodehelper), the execve is performed on the ret_from_fork path, which restores r0 from the saved pt_regs, resulting in argc being presented to the C library. This has horrible consequences when the application exits, since we have an exit function registered using argc, resulting in a jump to hyperspace. This patch solves the problem by removing the partial a.out support from arch/arm/ altogether.

As of commit b9d4d42a (ARM: Remove __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW on pre-ARMv6 CPUs), the mm switching on VIVT processors is done in the finish_arch_post_lock_switch() function to avoid whole cache flushing with interrupts disabled. The need for deferred mm switch is stored as a thread flag (TIF_SWITCH_MM). However, with preemption enabled, we can have another thread switch before finish_arch_post_lock_switch(). If the new thread has the same mm as the previous 'next' thread, the scheduler will not call switch_mm() and the TIF_SWITCH_MM flag won't be set for the new thread. This patch moves the switch pending flag to the mm_context_t structure since this is specific to the mm rather than thread.

Currently, compare_cpu_mode_with_primary uses a mixture of macro arguments and hardcoded registers, and does so incorrectly, as it stores (__boot_cpu_mode_offset | BOOT_CPU_MODE_MISMATCH) to (__boot_cpu_mode + &__boot_cpu_mode_offset), which could corrupt an arbitrary portion of memory. This patch fixes up compare_cpu_mode_with_primary to use the macro arguments, correctly updating __boot_cpu_mode.

When map_lowmem() runs, and processes a memory bank whose start or end is not section-aligned, memory must be allocated to store the 2nd-level page tables. Those allocations are made by calling memblock_alloc(). At this point, the only memory that is free *and* mapped is memory which has already been mapped by map_lowmem() itself. For this reason, we must calculate the first point at which map_lowmem() will need to allocate memory, and set the memblock allocation limit to a lower address, so that memblock_alloc() is guaranteed to return memory that is already mapped. This patch enhances sanity_check_meminfo() to calculate that memory address, and pass it to memblock_set_current_limit(), rather than just assuming the limit is arm_lowmem_limit. The algorithm applied is: * Default memblock_limit to arm_lowmem_limit in the absence of any other limit; arm_lowmem_limit is the highest memory that is mapped by map_lowmem(). * While walking the list of memblocks, if the start of a block is not aligned, 2nd-level page tables will need to be allocated to map the first few pages of the block. Hence, the memblock_limit must be before the start of the block. * Similarly, if the end of any block is not aligned, 2nd-level page tables will need to be allocated to map the last few pages of the block. Hence, the memblock_limit must point at the end of the block, rounded down to section-alignment. * The memory blocks are assumed to be sorted in address order, so the first unaligned block start or end is used to set the limit. With this algorithm, the start or end of almost any bank can be non- section-aligned. The only exception is that the start of bank 0 must be section-aligned, since otherwise memory would need to be allocated when mapping the start of bank 0, which occurs before any free memory is mapped.

Commit ae8a8b95 ("ARM: 7691/1: mm: kill unused TLB_CAN_READ_FROM_L1_CACHE and use ALT_SMP instead") added early function returns for page table cache flushing operations on ARMv7 SMP CPUs. Unfortunately, when targetting Thumb-2, these `mov pc, lr' sequences assemble to 2 bytes which can lead to corruption of the instruction stream after code patching. This patch fixes the alternates to use wide (32-bit) instructions for Thumb-2, therefore ensuring that the patching code works correctly.

This non-user visible option lacked any kind of documentation. This is quite common for non-user visible options; certian people can't understand the point of documenting such options with help text. However, here we have a case in point: developers don't understand the option either, as they were thinking that when the option is not set, the decompressor should produce no output what so ever. This is incorrect, as the purpose of this option is to control whether a multiplatform kernel uses the kernel debugging macros to produce output or not. So let's document this via help rather than commentry to prevent others falling into this misunderstanding. Signed-off-by: NRussell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

Pull ACPI video support fixes from Rafael Wysocki: "I'm sending a separate pull request for this as it may be somewhat controversial. The breakage addressed here is not really new and the fixes may not satisfy all users of the affected systems, but we've had so much back and forth dance in this area over the last several weeks that I think it's time to actually make some progress. The source of the problem is that about a year ago we started to tell BIOSes that we're compatible with Windows 8, which we really need to do, because some systems shipping with Windows 8 are tested with it and nothing else, so if we tell their BIOSes that we aren't compatible with Windows 8, we expose our users to untested BIOS/AML code paths. However, as it turns out, some Windows 8-specific AML code paths are not tested either, because Windows 8 actually doesn't use the ACPI methods containing them, so if we declare Windows 8 compatibility and attempt to use those ACPI methods, things break. That occurs mostly in the backlight support area where in particular the _BCM and _BQC methods are plain unusable on some systems if the OS declares Windows 8 compatibility. [ The additional twist is that they actually become usable if the OS says it is not compatible with Windows 8, but that may cause problems to show up elsewhere ] Investigation carried out by Matthew Garrett indicates that what Windows 8 does about backlight is to leave backlight control up to individual graphics drivers. At least there's evidence that it does that if the Intel graphics driver is used, so we've decided to follow Windows 8 in that respect and allow i915 to control backlight (Daniel likes that part). The first commit from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export the variable from which we can infer whether or not the BIOS believes that we are compatible with Windows 8. The second commit from Matthew Garrett prepares the ACPI video driver by making it initialize the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to be used afterward (that is needed for backlight control to work on Thinkpads). The third commit implements the actual workaround making i915 take over backlight control if the firmware thinks it's dealing with Windows 8 and is based on the work of multiple developers, including Matthew Garrett, Chun-Yi Lee, Seth Forshee, and Aaron Lu. The final commit from Aaron Lu makes us follow Windows 8 by informing the firmware through the _DOS method that it should not carry out automatic brightness changes, so that brightness can be controlled by GUI. Hopefully, this approach will allow us to avoid using blacklists of systems that should not declare Windows 8 compatibility just to avoid backlight control problems in the future. - Change from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export a variable which can be used by driver code to determine whether or not the BIOS believes that we are compatible with Windows 8. - Change from Matthew Garrett makes the ACPI video driver initialize the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to be used afterward (that is needed for backlight control to work on Thinkpads). - Fix from Rafael J Wysocki implements Windows 8 backlight support workaround making i915 take over bakclight control if the firmware thinks it's dealing with Windows 8.

When we try to open a file with O_TMPFILE flag, we will trigger a bug. The root cause is that in ext4_orphan_add() we check ->i_nlink == 0 and this check always fails because we set ->i_nlink = 1 in inode_init_always(). We can use the following program to trigger it: int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int fd; fd = open(argv[1], O_TMPFILE, 0666); if (fd < 0) { perror("open "); return -1; } close(fd); return 0; } The oops message looks like this: kernel: kernel BUG at fs/ext3/namei.c:1992! kernel: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP kernel: Modules linked in: ext4 jbd2 crc16 cpufreq_ondemand ipv6 dm_mirror dm_region_hash dm_log dm_mod parport_pc parport serio_raw sg dcdbas pcspkr i2c_i801 ehci_pci ehci_hcd button acpi_cpufreq mperf e1000e ptp pps_core ttm drm_kms_helper drm hwmon i2c_algo_bit i2c_core ext3 jbd sd_mod ahci libahci libata scsi_mod uhci_hcd kernel: CPU: 0 PID: 2882 Comm: tst_tmpfile Not tainted 3.11.0-rc1+ #4 kernel: Hardware name: Dell Inc.
