        This is necessary because on some 64bit machines the high-order 32bits
        are being clobbered by the firmware call, and thus we failed to bring
        up secondary CPUs (and instead crashed the kernel) in some situations
        eg if we had more than 4GB RAM.  This patch fixes a bug which has been
        since ever in the parisc linux kernel and which prevented some people

      parisc: Do not crash 64bit SMP kernels on machines with >= 4GB RAM · 54e181e0
      Helge Deller 提交于
      Since the beginning of the parisc-linux port, sometimes 64bit SMP kernels were
      not able to bring up other CPUs than the monarch CPU and instead crashed the
      kernel.  The reason was unclear, esp. since it involved various machines (e.g.
      J5600, J6750 and SuperDome). Testing showed, that those crashes didn't happened
      when less than 4GB were installed, or if a 32bit Linux kernel was booted.
      
      In the end, the fix for those SMP problems is trivial:
      During the early phase of the initialization of the CPUs, including the monarch
      CPU, the PDC_PSW firmware function to enable WIDE (=64bit) mode is called.
      It's documented that this firmware function may clobber various registers, and
      one one of those possibly clobbered registers is %cr30 which holds the task
      thread info pointer.
      
      Now, if %cr30 would always have been clobbered, then this bug would have been
      detected much earlier. But lots of testing finally showed, that - at least for
      %cr30 - on some machines only the upper 32bits of the 64bit register suddenly
      turned zero after the firmware call.
      
      So, after finding the root cause, the explanation for the various crashes
      became clear:
      - On 32bit SMP Linux kernels all upper 32bit were zero, so we didn't faced this
        problem.
      - Monarch CPUs in 64bit mode always booted sucessfully, because the inital task
        thread info pointer was below 4GB.
      - Secondary CPUs booted sucessfully on machines with less than 4GB RAM because
        the upper 32bit were zero anyay.
      - Secondary CPus failed to boot if we had more than 4GB RAM and the task thread
        info pointer was located above the 4GB boundary.
      
      Finally, the patch to fix this problem is trivial by saving the %cr30 register
      before the firmware call and restoring it afterwards.

      vhost/scsi: Fix incorrect usage of get_user_pages_fast write parameter · 60a01f55
      Nicholas Bellinger 提交于
      This patch addresses a long-standing bug where the get_user_pages_fast()
      write parameter used for setting the underlying page table entry permission
      bits was incorrectly set to write=1 for data_direction=DMA_TO_DEVICE, and
      passed into get_user_pages_fast() via vhost_scsi_map_iov_to_sgl().
      
      However, this parameter is intended to signal WRITEs to pinned userspace
      PTEs for the virtio-scsi DMA_FROM_DEVICE -> READ payload case, and *not*
      for the virtio-scsi DMA_TO_DEVICE -> WRITE payload case.
      
      This bug would manifest itself as random process segmentation faults on
      KVM host after repeated vhost starts + stops and/or with lots of vhost
      endpoints + LUNs.

      mtd: gpmi: fix ECC regression · 031e2777
      David Woodhouse 提交于
      The "legacy" ECC layout used until 3.12-rc1 uses all the OOB area by
      computing the ECC strength and ECC step size ourselves.
      
      Commit 2febcdf8 ("mtd: gpmi: set the BCHs geometry with the ecc info")
      makes the driver use the ECC info (ECC strength and ECC step size)
      provided by the MTD code, and creates a different NAND ECC layout
      for the BCH, and use the new ECC layout. This causes a regression:
      
         We can not mount the ubifs which was created by the old NAND ECC layout.
      
      This patch fixes this issue by reverting to the legacy ECC layout.
      
      We will probably introduce a new device-tree property to indicate that
      the new ECC layout can be used. For now though, for the imminent 3.12
      release, we just unconditionally revert to the 3.11 behaviour.
      
      This leaves a harmless cosmetic warning about an unused function. At
      this point in the cycle I really don't care.
