After fixing the u32 thinko I sill had occasional hickups on ATI chipsets with small deltas. There seems to be a delay between writing the compare register and the transffer to the internal register which triggers the interrupt. Reading back the value makes sure, that it hit the internal match register befor we compare against the counter value. Signed-off-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

We use the HPET only in 32bit mode because: 1) some HPETs are 32bit only 2) on i386 there is no way to read/write the HPET atomic 64bit wide The HPET code unification done by the "moron of the year" did not take into account that unsigned long is different on 32 and 64 bit. This thinko results in a possible endless loop in the clockevents code, when the return comparison fails due to the 64bit/332bit unawareness. unsigned long cnt = (u32) hpet_read() + delta can wrap over 32bit. but the final compare will fail and return -ETIME causing endless loops.

The minimum reprogramming delta was hardcoded in HPET ticks, which is stupid as it does not work with faster running HPETs. The C1E idle patches made this prominent on AMD/RS690 chipsets, where the HPET runs with 25MHz. Set it to 5us which seems to be a reasonable value and fixes the problems on the bug reporters machines. We have a further sanity check now in the clock events, which increases the delta when it is not sufficient. Signed-off-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Tested-by: NLuiz Fernando N.

The C1E/HPET bug reports on AMDX2/RS690 systems where tracked down to a too small value of the HPET minumum delta for programming an event. The clockevents code needs to enforce an interrupt event on the clock event device in some cases. The enforcement code was stupid and naive, as it just added the minimum delta to the current time and tried to reprogram the device. When the minimum delta is too small, then this loops forever. Add a sanity check. Allow reprogramming to fail 3 times, then print a warning and double the minimum delta value to make sure, that this does not happen again. Use the same function for both tick-oneshot and tick-broadcast code. Signed-off-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

While chasing the C1E/HPET bugreports I went through the clock events code inch by inch and found that the broadcast device can be initialized and shutdown multiple times. Multiple shutdowns are not critical, but useless waste of time. Multiple initializations are simply broken. Another CPU might have the device in use already after the first initialization and the second init could just render it unusable again.

In tick_oneshot_setup we program the device to the given next_event, but we do not check the return value. We need to make sure that the device is programmed enforced so the interrupt handler engine starts working. Split out the reprogramming function from tick_program_event() and call it with the device, which was handed in to tick_setup_oneshot(). Set the force argument, so the devices is firing an interrupt.

The reprogramming of the periodic broadcast handler was broken, when the first programming returned -ETIME. The clockevents code stores the new expiry value in the clock events device next_event field only when the programming time has not been elapsed yet. The loop in question calculates the new expiry value from the next_event value and therefor never increases.

There is a ordering related problem with clockevents code, due to which clockevents_register_device() called after tickless/highres switch will not work. The new clockevent ends up with clockevents_handle_noop as event handler, resulting in no timer activity. The problematic path seems to be * old device already has hrtimer_interrupt as the event_handler * new clockevent device registers with a higher rating * tick_check_new_device() is called * clockevents_exchange_device() gets called * old->event_handler is set to clockevents_handle_noop * tick_setup_device() is called for the new device * which sets new->event_handler using the old->event_handler which is noop. Change the ordering so that new device inherits the proper handler. This does not have any issue in normal case as most likely all the clockevent devices are setup before the highres switch. But, can potentially be affecting some corner case where HPET force detect happens after the highres switch. This was a problem with HPET in MSI mode code that we have been experimenting with.

The allocated RX buffer size was 64 bytes bigger than the PCI mapped size with no good reason. If the packet was actually using the buffer up to its limit and if the last 64 bytes of the buffer crossed 4KB boundary then an unmapped PCI page was accessed. The fix is to use only one parameter for the buffer size - there is no need to differentiate between the buffer size and the PCI mapping size since the extra 64 bytes can actually be used by the FW to align the Ethernet payload to 64 bytes.

This patch "iwlwifi: do not use GFP_DMA in iwl_tx_queue_init" removes GFP_DMA from allocation tx command buffers. GFP_DMA allows allocation only for memory under 16M which causes allocation problems suspend/resume flows. Using kmalloc is temporal solution and some consistent/coherent allocation schema will be more correct.

This patch is a W/A for the TSF sync issue in IBSS merging. HW is not capable to sync TSF (it's constantly little behind). This creates constant IBSS merging upon reception of each beacon, adding and removing station which in turn creates above 50% packet loss and thus dramatically degrade the throughput. The W/A simply stops the driver from declaring it has a reliable TSF value and thus eliminates IBSS merging.

This bug is causing random crashes (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11414). -fno-omit-frame-pointer is only needed on powerpc when -pg is also supplied, and there is a gcc bug that causes incorrect code generation on 32-bit powerpc when -fno-omit-frame-pointer is used---it uses stack locations below the stack pointer, which is not allowed by the ABI because those locations can and sometimes do get corrupted by an interrupt. This ensures that CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is only selected by ftrace. When CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled we also pass -mno-sched-epilog to work around the gcc codegen bug.

Commit bc033b63 ("powerpc/mm: Fix attribute confusion with htab_bolt_mapping()") moved the check for whether we should make pages of the linear mapping executable from htab_bolt_mapping into its callers, including htab_initialize. A side-effect of this is that the decision is now made once for each contiguous section in the LMB array rather than for each page individually. This can often mean that the whole of the linear mapping ends up being executable. This reverts to the previous behaviour, where individual pages are checked for being part of the kernel text or not, by moving the check back down into htab_bolt_mapping.

Larry Finger reported at http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/1/90: An ancient laptop of mine started throwing errors from b43legacy when I started using 2.6.27 on it. This has been bisected to commit bfc0f594 "x86: merge tsc calibration". The unification of the TSC code adopted mostly the 64bit code, which prefers PMTIMER/HPET over the PIT calibration. Larrys system has an AMD K6 CPU. Such systems are known to have PMTIMER incarnations which run at double speed. This results in a miscalibration of the TSC by factor 0.5. So the resulting calibrated CPU/TSC speed is half of the real CPU speed, which means that the TSC based delay loop will run half the time it should run. That might explain why the b43legacy driver went berserk. On the other hand we know about systems, where the PIT based calibration results in random crap due to heavy SMI/SMM disturbance. On those systems the PMTIMER/HPET based calibration logic with SMI detection shows better results. According to Alok also virtualized systems suffer from the PIT calibration method. The solution is to use a more wreckage aware aproach than the current either/or decision. 1) reimplement the retry loop which was dropped from the 32bit code during the merge. It repeats the calibration and selects the lowest frequency value as this is probably the closest estimate to the real frequency 2) Monitor the delta of the TSC values in the delay loop which waits for the PIT counter to reach zero. If the maximum value is significantly different from the minimum, then we have a pretty safe indicator that the loop was disturbed by an SMI. 3) keep the pmtimer/hpet reference as a backup solution for systems where the SMI disturbance is a permanent point of failure for PIT based calibration 4) do the loop iteration for both methods, record the lowest value and decide after all iterations finished. 5) Set a clear preference to PIT based calibration when the result makes sense. The implementation does the reference calibration based on HPET/PMTIMER around the delay, which is necessary for the PIT anyway, but keeps separate TSC values to ensure the "independency" of the resulting calibration values. Tested on various 32bit/64bit machines including Geode 266Mhz, AMD K6 (affected machine with a double speed pmtimer which I grabbed out of the dump), Pentium class machines and AMD/Intel 64 bit boxen.
