Add ioremap_pud_enabled() and ioremap_pmd_enabled(), which return 1 when I/O mappings with pud/pmd are enabled on the kernel. ioremap_huge_init() calls arch_ioremap_pud_supported() and arch_ioremap_pmd_supported() to initialize the capabilities at boot-time. A new kernel option "nohugeiomap" is also added, so that user can disable the huge I/O map capabilities when necessary. Signed-off-by: NToshi Kani <toshi.kani@hp.com> Cc: "H.

With the current user interface of the watchdog mechanism it is only possible to disable or enable both lockup detectors at the same time. This series introduces new kernel parameters and changes the semantics of some existing kernel parameters, so that the hard lockup detector and the soft lockup detector can be disabled or enabled individually. With this series applied, the user interface is as follows. - parameters in /proc/sys/kernel . soft_watchdog This is a new parameter to control and examine the run state of the soft lockup detector. . nmi_watchdog The semantics of this parameter have changed. It can now be used to control and examine the run state of the hard lockup detector. . watchdog This parameter is still available to control the run state of both lockup detectors at the same time. If this parameter is examined, it shows the logical OR of soft_watchdog and nmi_watchdog. . watchdog_thresh The semantics of this parameter are not affected by the patch. - kernel command line parameters . nosoftlockup The semantics of this parameter have changed. It can now be used to disable the soft lockup detector at boot time. . nmi_watchdog=0 or nmi_watchdog=1 Disable or enable the hard lockup detector at boot time. The patch introduces '=1' as a new option. . nowatchdog The semantics of this parameter are not affected by the patch. It is still available to disable both lockup detectors at boot time. Also, remove the proc_dowatchdog() function which is no longer needed.

When IOMMU bypass is enabled, a PCI device can read and write memory that was not mapped by the driver without causing an EEH. That might cause memory corruption, for example.

On some laptops, keyboard needs to be reset in order to successfully detect touchpad (e.g., some Gigabyte laptop models with Elantech touchpads). Without resettin keyboard touchpad pretends to be completely dead. Based on the original patch by Mateusz Jończyk this version has been expanded to include DMI based detection & application of the fix automatically on the affected models of laptops. This has been confirmed to fix problem by three users already on three different models of laptops.

Add the kernel command line tp_printk option that will have tracepoints that are active sent to printk() as well as to the trace buffer. Passing "tp_printk" will activate this. To turn it off, the sysctl /proc/sys/kernel/tracepoint_printk can have '0' echoed into it. Note, this only works if the cmdline option is used. Echoing 1 into the sysctl file without the cmdline option will have no affect. Note, this is a dangerous option. Having high frequency tracepoints send their data to printk() can possibly cause a live lock. This is another reason why this is only active if the command line option is used.

This is the page owner tracking code which is introduced so far ago. It is resident on Andrew's tree, though, nobody tried to upstream so it remain as is. Our company uses this feature actively to debug memory leak or to find a memory hogger so I decide to upstream this feature. This functionality help us to know who allocates the page. When allocating a page, we store some information about allocation in extra memory. Later, if we need to know status of all pages, we can get and analyze it from this stored information. In previous version of this feature, extra memory is statically defined in struct page, but, in this version, extra memory is allocated outside of struct page. It enables us to turn on/off this feature at boottime without considerable memory waste. Although we already have tracepoint for tracing page allocation/free, using it to analyze page owner is rather complex. We need to enlarge the trace buffer for preventing overlapping until userspace program launched. And, launched program continually dump out the trace buffer for later analysis and it would change system behaviour with more possibility rather than just keeping it in memory, so bad for debug. Moreover, we can use page_owner feature further for various purposes. For example, we can use it for fragmentation statistics implemented in this patch. And, I also plan to implement some CMA failure debugging feature using this interface. I'd like to give the credit for all developers contributed this feature, but, it's not easy because I don't know exact history. Sorry about that.

由 Prarit Bhargava 提交于
There have been several times where I have had to rebuild a kernel to cause a panic when hitting a WARN() in the code in order to get a crash dump from a system. Sometimes this is easy to do, other times (such as in the case of a remote admin) it is not trivial to send new images to the user. A much easier method would be a switch to change the WARN() over to a panic. This makes debugging easier in that I can now test the actual image the WARN() was seen on and I do not have to engage in remote debugging. This patch adds a panic_on_warn kernel parameter and /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_warn calls panic() in the warn_slowpath_common() path. The function will still print out the location of the warning. An example of the panic_on_warn output: The first line below is from the WARN_ON() to output the WARN_ON()'s location. After that the panic() output is displayed.

In HWP mode intel_pstate provides three functions reporting frequency to the cpufreq core, support for the set_policy() interface from the core and maintaining the intel_pstate sysfs interface in /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate.

We have hit a few customer issues with the topology update code (VPHN and PRRN). It would be nice to be able to debug the notifications coming from the hypervisor in both cases to the LPAR, as well as to disable responding to the notifications at boot-time, to narrow down the source of the problems. Add a basic level of such functionality, similar to the numa= command-line parameter. We already have a toggle in /proc/powerpc/topology_updates that allows run-time enabling/disabling, so the updates can be started at run-time if desired. But the bugs we've run into have occured during boot or very shortly after coming to login, and have resulted in a broken NUMA topology.

Active multiplexing is a nice feature as it allows several pointing devices (such as touchpad and external mouse) use their native protocols at the same time. Unfortunately many manufacturers do not implement the feature properly even though they advertise it. The problematic implementations are never fixed, since Windows by default does not use this mode, and move from one BIOS/model of laptop to another. When active multiplexing is broken turning it on usually results in touchpad, keyboard, or both unresponsive. With PS/2 usage on decline (most of PS/2 devices in use nowadays are internal laptop touchpads), I expect number of users who have laptops with working MUX implementation, docking stations with external PS/2 ports, and who are still using external PS/2 mice, to be rather small. Let's flip the default to be OFF and allow activating it through i8042.nomux=0 kernel option. We'll also keep DMI table where we can record known good models.

We need a way to customize the behaviour of the EFI boot stub, in particular, we need a way to disable the "chunking" workaround, used when reading files from the EFI System Partition. One of my machines doesn't cope well when reading files in 1MB chunks to a buffer above the 4GB mark - it appears that the "chunking" bug workaround triggers another firmware bug. This was only discovered with commit 4bf7111f ("x86/efi: Support initrd loaded above 4G"), and that commit is perfectly valid. The symptom I observed was a corrupt initrd rather than any kind of crash. efi= is now used to specify EFI parameters in two very different execution environments, the EFI boot stub and during kernel boot. There is also a slight performance optimization by enabling efi=nochunk, but that's offset by the fact that you're more likely to run into firmware issues, at least on x86. This is the rationale behind leaving the workaround enabled by default. Also provide some documentation for EFI_READ_CHUNK_SIZE and why we're using the current value of 1MB.

Besides the ASM1051 (*) needing sdev->no_report_opcodes = 1, it turns out that the JMicron JMS567 also needs it to work properly with uas (usb-storage always sets it). Since some of the scsi devs were not to keen on the idea to outrightly set sdev->no_report_opcodes = 1 for all uas devices, so add a quirk for this, and set it for the JMS567. *) Which has become a non-issue since we've completely blacklisted uas on the ASM1051 for other reasons Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-and-tested-by: NClaudio Bizzarri <claudio.bizzarri@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NHans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NGreg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

And set this quirk for the Seagate Expansion Desk (0bc2:2312), as that one seems to hang upon receiving an ATA_12 or ATA_16 command. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79511 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=183190 While at it also add missing documentation for the u value for usb-storage quirks. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.16, 3.17 Signed-off-by: NHans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> -- Changes in v2: Add documentation for new t and u usb-storage.quirks flags Changes in v3: Fix typo in documentation Changes in v4: Also apply the quirk to (0bc2:3312) Changes in v5: Rebased on 3.17-rc5, drop u documentation, already upstream Signed-off-by: NGreg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

The kernel boot parameter "ima_appraise" currently defines 'off', 'enforce' and 'fix' modes. When designing a policy and labeling the system, access to files are either blocked in the default 'enforce' mode or automatically fixed in the 'fix' mode. It is beneficial to be able to run the system in a logging only mode, without fixing it, in order to properly analyze the system. This patch adds a 'log' mode to run the system in a permissive mode and log the appraisal results.

This commit changes rcutorture_runnable to torture_runnable, which is consistent with the names of the other parameters and is a bit shorter as well. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
