According to its documentation, the NAND_NO_READRDY option is always used when autoincrement is not supported. Autoincrement support was recently dropped, so we can drop this options as well (defaulting to "no read ready check").

There are multiple reasons for a rewrite: - a race exists: when _4ECCEND is set, _4ECCFA may become true too meanwhile, which is lost and a non-correctable error is treated as correctable. - the ECC statistics don't get properly propagated to the base code. - empty pages would get marked as corrupted The rewrite resolves the issues and I hope it gives a more explicit code flow structure.

We don't need to open code the divide function, just use div_u64 that already exists and do the same job. While this is a straightforward clean up, there is more to that, the real motivation for this. While building on a cross compiling environment in armel, using gcc 4.6.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5), I was getting the following build error: ERROR: "__aeabi_uldivmod" [drivers/mtd/nand/nandsim.ko] undefined! After investigating with objdump and hand built assembly version generated with the compiler, I narrowed __aeabi_uldivmod as being generated from the divide function. When nandsim.c is built with -fno-inline-functions-called-once, that happens when CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH is enabled, the do_div optimization in arch/arm/include/asm/div64.h doesn't work as expected with the open coded divide function: even if the do_div we are using doesn't have a constant divisor, the compiler still includes the else parts of the optimized do_div macro, and translates the divisions there to use __aeabi_uldivmod, instead of only calling __do_div_asm -> __do_div64 and optimizing/removing everything else out. So to reproduce, gcc 4.6 plus CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y and CONFIG_MTD_NAND_NANDSIM=m should do it, building on armel. After this change, the compiler does the intended thing even with -fno-inline-functions-called-once, and optimizes out as expected the constant handling in the optimized do_div on arm. As this also avoids a build issue, I'm marking for Stable, as I think is applicable for this case.

The gpmi-nand driver uses virt_addr_valid() to check whether a buffer is suitable for dma. If it's not, a driver allocated buffer is used instead. Then after a page read the driver allocated buffer must be copied to the user supplied buffer. This does not happen since commit 7725cc85. This patch fixes the issue. The bug is encountered with UBI which uses a vmalloced buffer for the volume table.

由 Shmulik Ladkani 提交于
As of edbc4540 [mtd: driver _read() returns max_bitflips; mtd_read() returns -EUCLEAN], 'mtd->bitflip_threshold' must be set for mtd devices having ECC, prior any 'mtd_read()' call. Otherwise, 'mtd_read()' will falsely return -EUCLEAN. Normally, 'mtd->bitflip_threshold' is initialized when the MTD is added. However, this is too late for NAND MTDs, as 'scan_bbt()' is invoked prior the existing initialization of 'mtd->bitflip_threshold'. This is a problem since 'scan_bbt()' calls 'mtd_read()', in the case of a flash-based bad block table. It resulted in a falsely reported bitflips indication during BBT read, which lead to constant scrubbing of the flash BBT blocks. Initialize 'mtd->bitflip_threshold' to its default value (if not already set by the driver), prior to invocation of 'scan_bbt()'.

This reverts commit 9e612a00. It incorrectly finds VGA connectors where none are attached, apparently not noticing that nothing replied to the EDID queries, and happily using the default EDID modes that have nothing to do with actual hardware. That in turn then causes X to fall down to the lowest common denominator, which is usually the default 1024x768 mode that is in the default EDID and pretty much anything supports). I'd suggest that if not relying on the HDP pin, the code should at least check whether it gets valid EDID data back, rather than just assume there's something on the VGA connector.

This reverts commit 7732a557 (and commit 3f50fff4, which was a follow-up cleanup). We're chasing an elusive bug that Dave Jones can apparently reproduce using his system call fuzzer tool, and that looks like some kind of locking ordering problem on the directory i_mutex chain. Our i_mutex locking is rather complex, and depends on the topological ordering of the directories, which is why we have been very wary of splicing directory entries around. Of course, we really don't want to ever see aliased unconnected directories anyway, so none of this should ever happen, but this revert aims to basically get us back to a known older state. Bruce points to some of the previous discussion at http://marc.info/?i=<20110310105821.GE22723@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> and in particular a long post from Neil: http://marc.info/?i=<20110311150749.2fa2be66@notabene.brown> It should be noted that it's possible that Dave's problems come from other changes altohgether, including possibly just the fact that Dave constantly is teachning his fuzzer new tricks. So what appears to be a new bug could in fact be an old one that just gets newly triggered, but reverting these patches as "still under heavy discussion" is the right thing regardless.

The reason for this is that those structs are not defined in the init section whereas the rest of the code in nmi_selftest.c is. To resolve this, I created a new #define, register_nmi_handler_initonly, that tags the struct as __initdata to resolve the mismatch. This #define should only be used in rare situations where the register/unregister is called during init of the kernel.

This fixes a problem which can causes kernel oopses while loading a kernel module. According to the PowerPC EABI specification, GPR r11 is assigned the dedicated function to point to the previous stack frame. In the powerpc-specific kernel module loader, do_plt_call() (in arch/powerpc/kernel/module_32.c), GPR r11 is also used to generate trampoline code. This combination crashes the kernel, in the case where the compiler chooses to use a helper function for saving GPRs on entry, and the module loader has placed the .init.text section far away from the .text section, meaning that it has to generate a trampoline for functions in the .init.text section to call the GPR save helper. Because the trampoline trashes r11, references to the stack frame using r11 can cause an oops. The fix just uses GPR r12 instead of GPR r11 for generating the trampoline code. According to the statements from Freescale, this is safe from an EABI perspective. I've tested the fix for kernel 2.6.33 on MPC8541.

The SGI Altix UV2 BAU (Broadcast Assist Unit) as used for tlb-shootdown (selective broadcast mode) always uses UV2 broadcast descriptor format. There is no need to clear the 'legacy' (UV1) mode, because the hardware always uses UV2 mode for selective broadcast. But the BIOS uses general broadcast and legacy mode, and the hardware pays attention to the legacy mode bit for general broadcast. So the kernel must not clear that mode bit.
