Current x86 ioremap() doesn't handle physical address higher than 32-bit properly in X86_32 PAE mode. When physical address higher than 32-bit is passed to ioremap(), higher 32-bits in physical address is cleared wrongly. Due to this bug, ioremap() can map wrong address to linear address space. In my case, 64-bit MMIO region was assigned to a PCI device (ioat device) on my system. Because of the ioremap()'s bug, wrong physical address (instead of MMIO region) was mapped to linear address space. Because of this, loading ioatdma driver caused unexpected behavior (kernel panic, kernel hangup, ...).

When initrd is in use and a driver does request_module() in its module_init (i.e. __initcall or device_initcall), a modprobe process is created with VDSO mapping. But VDSO is inited even in __initcall, i.e. on the same level (at the same time), so it may not be inited yet (link order matters). Move the VDSO initialization code earlier by switching to something before rootfs_initcall where initrd is loaded as rootfs. Specifically to subsys_initcall. Do it for standard 64-bit path (init_vdso_vars) and for compat (sysenter_setup), just in case people have 32-bit initrd and ia32 emulation built-in. i386 (pure 32-bit) is not affected, since sysenter_setup() is called from check_bugs()->identify_boot_cpu() in start_kernel() before rest_init()->kernel_thread(kernel_init) where even kernel_init() calls do_basic_setup()->do_initcalls(). What this patch fixes are early modprobe crashes such as: Unpacking initramfs...

After every iounmap mmiotrace has to free kmmio_fault_pages, but it can't do it directly, so it defers freeing by RCU. It usually works, but when mmiotraced code calls ioremap-iounmap multiple times without sleeping between (so RCU won't kick in and start freeing) it can be given the same virtual address, so at every iounmap mmiotrace will schedule the same pages for release. Obviously it will explode on second free. Fix it by marking kmmio_fault_pages which are scheduled for release and not adding them second time.

Yannick found that video does not work with 2.6.34. The cause of this bug was that the BIOS had assigned the wrong range to the PCI bridge above the video device. Before 2.6.34 the kernel would have shrunk the size of the bridge window, but since d65245c3 PCI: don't shrink bridge resources the kernel will avoid shrinking BIOS ranges. So zero out the old range if we fail to claim it at boot time; this will cause us to allocate a new range at startup, restoring the 2.6.34 behavior.

The core suspend/resume code is run from stop_machine on CPU0 but parts of the suspend/resume machinery (including xen_arch_resume) are run on whichever CPU happened to schedule the xenwatch kernel thread. As part of the non-core resume code xen_arch_resume is called in order to restart the timer tick on non-boot processors. The boot processor itself is taken care of by core timekeeping code. xen_arch_resume uses smp_call_function which does not call the given function on the current processor. This means that we can end up with one CPU not receiving timer ticks if the xenwatch thread happened to be scheduled on CPU > 0. Use on_each_cpu instead of smp_call_function to ensure the timer tick is resumed everywhere.

由 Stephane Eranian 提交于
The transactional API patch between the generic and model-specific code introduced several important bugs with event scheduling, at least on X86. If you had pinned events, e.g., watchdog, and were over-committing the PMU, you would get bogus counts. The bug was showing up on Intel CPU because events would move around more often that on AMD. But the problem also existed on AMD, though harder to expose. The issues were: - group_sched_in() was missing a cancel_txn() in the error path - cpuc->n_added was not properly maintained, leading to missing actions in hw_perf_enable(), i.e., n_running being 0. You cannot update n_added until you know the transaction has succeeded. In case of failed transaction n_added was not adjusted back. - in case of failed transactions, event_sched_out() was called and eventually invoked x86_disable_event() to touch the HW reg. But with transactions, on X86, event_sched_in() does not touch HW registers, it simply collects events into a list. Thus, you could end up calling x86_disable_event() on a counter which did not correspond to the current event when idx != -1. The patch modifies the generic and X86 code to avoid all those problems. First, we keep track of the number of events added last. In case the transaction fails, we substract them from n_added. This approach is necessary (as opposed to delaying updates to n_added) because not all event updates use the transaction API, e.g., single events. Second, we encapsulate the event_sched_in() and event_sched_out() in group_sched_in() inside the transaction. That makes the operations symmetrical and you can also detect that you are inside a transaction and skip the HW reg access by checking cpuc->group_flag. With this patch, you can now overcommit the PMU even with pinned system-wide events present and still get valid counts.

Rework the generic version of the numa_node_id() function to use the new generic percpu variable infrastructure. Guard the new implementation with a new config option: CONFIG_USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID. Archs which support this new implemention will default this option to 'y' when NUMA is configured. This config option could be removed if/when all archs switch over to the generic percpu implementation of numa_node_id(). Arch support involves: 1) converting any existing per cpu variable implementations to use this implementation. x86_64 is an instance of such an arch. 2) archs that don't use a per cpu variable for numa_node_id() will need to initialize the new per cpu variable "numa_node" as cpus are brought on-line. ia64 is an example. 3) Defining USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID in arch dependent Kconfig--e.g., when NUMA is configured. This is required because I have retained the old implementation by default to allow archs to be modified incrementally, as desired. Subsequent patches will convert x86_64 and ia64 to use this implemenation.

This adds: alias: devname:<name> to some common kernel modules, which will allow the on-demand loading of the kernel module when the device node is accessed. Ideally all these modules would be compiled-in, but distros seems too much in love with their modularization that we need to cover the common cases with this new facility. It will allow us to remove a bunch of pretty useless init scripts and modprobes from init scripts. The static device node aliases will be carried in the module itself. The program depmod will extract this information to a file in the module directory: $ cat /lib/modules/2.6.34-00650-g537b60d1-dirty/modules.devname # Device nodes to trigger on-demand module loading. microcode cpu/microcode c10:184 fuse fuse c10:229 ppp_generic ppp c108:0 tun net/tun c10:200 dm_mod mapper/control c10:235 Udev will pick up the depmod created file on startup and create all the static device nodes which the kernel modules specify, so that these modules get automatically loaded when the device node is accessed: $ /sbin/udevd --debug ... static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/cpu/microcode' c10:184 static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/fuse' c10:229 static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/ppp' c108:0 static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/net/tun' c10:200 static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/mapper/control' c10:235 udev_rules_apply_static_dev_perms: chmod '/dev/net/tun' 0666 udev_rules_apply_static_dev_perms: chmod '/dev/fuse' 0666 A few device nodes are switched to statically allocated numbers, to allow the static nodes to work. This might also useful for systems which still run a plain static /dev, which is completely unsafe to use with any dynamic minor numbers. Note: The devname aliases must be limited to the *common* and *single*instance* device nodes, like the misc devices, and never be used for conceptually limited systems like the loop devices, which should rather get fixed properly and get a control node for losetup to talk to, instead of creating a random number of device nodes in advance, regardless if they are ever used. This facility is to hide the mess distros are creating with too modualized kernels, and just to hide that these modules are not compiled-in, and not to paper-over broken concepts.

Linux does not define __BYTE_ORDER in its endian header files which makes some header files bend backwards to get at the current endian. Lets #define __BYTE_ORDER in big_endian.h/litte_endian.h to make it easier for header files that are used in user space too. In userspace the convention is that 1. _both_ __LITTLE_ENDIAN and __BIG_ENDIAN are defined, 2. you have to test for e.g. __BYTE_ORDER == __BIG_ENDIAN.

Patch b7e2ecef (perf, trace: Optimize tracepoints by removing IRQ-disable from perf/tracepoint interaction) made the unfortunate mistake of assuming the world is x86 only, correct this. The problem was that perf_fetch_caller_regs() did local_save_flags() into regs->flags, and I re-used that to remove another local_save_flags(), forgetting !x86 doesn't have regs->flags. Do the reverse, remove the local_save_flags() from perf_fetch_caller_regs() and let the ftrace site do the local_save_flags() instead.

The low-memory corruption checker triggers during suspend/resume, so we need to reserve the low 64k. Don't be fooled that the BIOS identifies itself as "Dell Inc.", it's still Phoenix BIOS. [ hpa: I think we blacklist almost every BIOS in existence. We should either change this to a whitelist or just make it unconditional. ] Signed-off-by: NGabor Gombas <gombasg@digikabel.hu> LKML-Reference: <201005241913.o4OJDIMM010877@imap1.linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NH.

Bits set in cpu_possible_mask prior to the execution of prefill_possible_map() (i.e. when parsing ACPI or MPS tables) would prevent the SMP alternatives logic from switching to UP mode, plus unnecessary setup of per-CPU data for CPUs that can never come online. Additionally, without CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU disabled CPUs can never come online, and hence setting cpu_possible_mask bits for them is again a simple waste of resources.

kasprintf combines kmalloc and sprintf, and takes care of the size calculation itself. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression a,flag; expression list args; statement S; @@ a = - \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\)(...,flag) + kasprintf(flag,args) <... when != a if (a == NULL || ...)
