Always switch to the kernel ASCE in switch_mm. Load the secondary space ASCE in finish_arch_post_lock_switch after checking that any pending page table operations have completed. The primary ASCE is loaded in entry[64].S. With this the update_primary_asce call can be removed from the switch_to macro and from the start of switch_mm function. Remove the load_primary argument from update_user_asce/clear_user_asce, rename update_user_asce to set_user_asce and rename update_primary_asce to load_kernel_asce.

Currently the smp_stop_cpu() function for SMP kernels enters a busy loop when "begin" is entered on the z/VM console after Linux is halted. To avoid this behavior, use the non-SMP variant of smp_stop_cpu() which stops the CPU again after "begin" is entered. As a side effect we now have consistent behavior for SMP and non-SMP Linux.

Refactor the memblock code and extend the memblock API to make it more flexible. With the extended API it is simple to define and work with additional memory lists. The static functions memblock_add_region and __memblock_remove are renamed to memblock_add_range and meblock_remove_range and added to the memblock API. The __next_free_mem_range and __next_free_mem_range_rev functions are replaced with calls to the more generic list walkers __next_mem_range and __next_mem_range_rev. To walk an arbitrary memory list two new macros for_each_mem_range and for_each_mem_range_rev are added. These new macros are used to define for_each_free_mem_range and for_each_free_mem_range_reverse.

The attached change significantly improves the performance of the LWS-CAS code in syscall.S. This allows a number of packages to build (e.g., zeromq3, gtest and libxs) that previously failed because slow LWS-CAS performance under contention. In particular, interrupts taken while the lock was taken degraded performance significantly. The change does the following: 1) Disables interrupts around the CAS operation, and 2) Changes the loads and stores to use the ordered completer, "o", on PA 2.0. "o" and "ma" with a zero offset are equivalent. The latter is accepted on both PA 1.X and 2.0. The use of ordered loads and stores probably makes no difference on all existing hardware, but it seemed pedantically correct. In particular, the CAS operation must complete before LDCW lock is released. As written before, a processor could reorder the operations. I don't believe the period interrupts are disabled is long enough to significantly increase interrupt latency. For example, the TLB insert code is longer. Worst case is a memory fault in the CAS operation. Signed-off-by: NJohn David Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.13+ Signed-off-by: NHelge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

On SNB the BIOS provided WM memory latency values seem insufficient to handle high resolution displays. In this particular case the display mode was a 2560x1440@60Hz, which makes the pixel clock 241.5 MHz. It was empirically found that a memory latency value if 1.2 usec is enough to avoid underruns, whereas the BIOS provided value of 0.7 usec was clearly too low. Incidentally 1.2 usec is what the typical BIOS provided values are on IVB systems. Increase the WM memory latency values to at least 1.2 usec on SNB. Hopefully this won't have a significant effect on power consumption. v2: Increase the latency values regardless of the pixel clock Cc: Robert N <crshman@gmail.com> Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70254Tested-by: NRobert Navarro <crshman@gmail.com> Tested-by: NVitaly Minko <vitaly.minko@gmail.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: NVille Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: NJani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>

When we set backlight on behalf of ACPI opregion, we will convert the backlight value in the 0-255 range defined in opregion to the actual hardware level. Commit 22505b82 (drm/i915: avoid brightness overflow when doing scale) is meant to fix the overflow problem when doing the conversion, but it also caused a problem that the converted hardware level doesn't quite represent the intended value: say user wants maximum backlight level(255 in opregion's range), then we will calculate the actual hardware level to be: level = freq / max * level, where freq is the hardware's max backlight level(937 on an user's box), and max and level are all 255. The converted value should be 937 but the above calculation will yield 765. To fix this issue, just use 64 bits to do the calculation to keep the precision and avoid overflow at the same time.

Link training succeeded for both, but the screen remained blank with the former config. Further investigation showed that 4 lanes at 5.4 Gbps worked also. The root cause for the blank screen using 2 lanes remains unknown, but apparently the driver for a certain other operating system by default uses the max available lanes.

Checkin: b3b42ac2 x86-64, modify_ldt: Ban 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels disabled 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels due to an information leak. However, it does seem that people are genuinely using Wine to run old 16-bit Windows programs on Linux. A proper fix for this ("espfix64") is coming in the upcoming merge window, but as a temporary fix, create a sysctl to allow the administrator to re-enable support for 16-bit segments. It adds a "/proc/sys/abi/ldt16" sysctl that defaults to zero (off). If you hit this issue and care about your old Windows program more than you care about a kernel stack address information leak, you can do echo 1 > /proc/sys/abi/ldt16 as root (add it to your startup scripts), and you should be ok. The sysctl table is only added if you have COMPAT support enabled on x86-64, but I assume anybody who runs old windows binaries very much does that ;) Signed-off-by: NH.

Meta overrode _STK_LIM_MAX (the default RLIMIT_STACK hard limit) to 256MB, apparently in an attempt to prevent setup_arg_pages's STACK_GROWSUP code from choosing the maximum stack size of 1GB, which is far too large for Meta's limited virtual address space and hits a BUG_ON (stack_top is usually 0x3ffff000). However the commit "metag: Reduce maximum stack size to 256MB" reduces the absolute stack size limit to a safe value for metag. This allows the default _STK_LIM_MAX override to be removed, bringing the default behaviour in line with all other architectures. Parisc in particular recently removed their override of _STK_LIMT_MAX in commit e0d8898d (parisc: remove _STK_LIM_MAX override) since it subtly affects stack allocation semantics in userland. Meta's uapi/asm/resource.h can now be removed and switch to using generic-y.

This patch affects only architectures where the stack grows upwards (currently parisc and metag only). On those do not hardcode the maximum initial stack size to 1GB for 32-bit processes, but make it configurable via a config option. The main problem with the hardcoded stack size is, that we have two memory regions which grow upwards: stack and heap. To keep most of the memory available for heap in a flexmap memory layout, it makes no sense to hard allocate up to 1GB of the memory for stack which can't be used as heap then. This patch makes the stack size for 32-bit processes configurable and uses 80MB as default value which has been in use during the last few years on parisc and which hasn't showed any problems yet.

Specify the maximum stack size for arches where the stack grows upward (parisc and metag) in asm/processor.h rather than hard coding in fs/exec.c so that metag can specify a smaller value of 256MB rather than 1GB. This fixes a BUG on metag if the RLIMIT_STACK hard limit is increased beyond a safe value by root. E.g. when starting a process after running "ulimit -H -s unlimited" it will then attempt to use a stack size of the maximum 1GB which is far too big for metag's limited user virtual address space (stack_top is usually 0x3ffff000): BUG: failure at fs/exec.c:589/shift_arg_pages()!

Volatile access doesn't really imply the compiler barrier. Volatile access is only ordered with respect to other volatile accesses, it isn't ordered with respect to general memory accesses. Gcc may reorder memory accesses around volatile access, as we can see in this simple example (if we compile it with optimization, both increments of *b will be collapsed to just one): void fn(volatile int *a, long *b) { (*b)++; *a = 10; (*b)++; } Consequently, we need the compiler barrier after a write to the volatile variable, to make sure that the compiler doesn't reorder the volatile write with something else.

Pull a percpu fix from Tejun Heo: "Fix for a percpu allocator bug where it could try to kfree() a memory region allocated using vmalloc(). The bug has been there for years now and is unlikely to have ever triggered given the size of struct pcpu_chunk. It's still theoretically possible and the fix is simple and safe enough, so the patch is marked with -stable" * 'for-3.15-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu: percpu: make pcpu_alloc_chunk() use pcpu_mem_free() instead of kfree()

Pull workqueue fixes from Tejun Heo: "Fixes for two bugs in workqueue. One is exiting with internal mutex held in a failure path of wq_update_unbound_numa(). The other is a subtle and unlikely use-after-possible-last-put in the rescuer logic. Both have been around for quite some time now and are unlikely to have triggered noticeably often. All patches are marked for -stable backport" * 'for-3.15-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: workqueue: fix a possible race condition between rescuer and pwq-release workqueue: make rescuer_thread() empty wq->maydays list before exiting workqueue: fix bugs in wq_update_unbound_numa() failure path

Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo: "During recent restructuring, device_cgroup unified config input check and enforcement logic; unfortunately, it turned out to share too much. Aristeu's patches fix the breakage and marked for -stable backport. The other two patches are fallouts from kernfs conversion. The blkcg change is temporary and will go away once kernfs internal locking gets simplified (patches pending)" * 'for-3.15-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: blkcg: use trylock on blkcg_pol_mutex in blkcg_reset_stats() device_cgroup: check if exception removal is allowed device_cgroup: fix the comment format for recently added functions device_cgroup: rework device access check and exception checking cgroup: fix the retry path of cgroup_mount()
