there's a new ptrace arch level feature in .28:

  config X86_PTRACE_BTS
  bool "Branch Trace Store"

it has broken fork() handling: the old DS area gets copied over into
a new task without clearing it.

Fixes exist but they came too late:

  c5dee617: x86, bts: memory accounting
  bf53de90: x86, bts: add fork and exit handling

and are queued up for v2.6.29. This shows that the facility is still not
tested well enough to release into a stable kernel - disable it for now and
reactivate in .29. In .29 the hardware-branch-tracer will use the DS/BTS
facilities too - hopefully resulting in better code.

Impact: fix deadlock

This is in response to the following bug report:

Bug-Entry       : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12100
Subject         : resume (S2R) broken by Intel microcode module, on A110L
Submitter       : Andreas Mohr <andi@lisas.de>
Date            : 2008-11-25 08:48 (19 days old)
Handled-By      : Dmitry Adamushko <dmitry.adamushko@gmail.com>

[ The deadlock scenario has been discovered by Andreas Mohr ]

I think I might have a logical explanation why the system:

  (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12100)

might hang upon resuming, OTOH it should have likely hanged each and every time.

(1) possible deadlock in microcode_resume_cpu() if either 'if' section is
taken;

(2) now, I don't see it in spec. and can't experimentally verify it (newer
ucodes don't seem to be available for my Core2duo)... but logically-wise, I'd
think that when read upon resuming, the 'microcode revision' (MSR 0x8B) should
be back to its original one (we need to reload ucode anyway so it doesn't seem
logical if a cpu doesn't drop the version)... if so, the comparison with
memcmp() for the full 'struct cpu_signature' is wrong... and that's how one of
the aforementioned 'if' sections might have been triggered - leading to a
deadlock.

Obviously, in my tests I simulated loading/resuming with the ucode of the same
version (just to see that the file is loaded/re-loaded upon resuming) so this
issue has never popped up.

I'd appreciate if someone with an appropriate system might give a try to the
2nd patch (titled "fix a comparison && deadlock...").

In any case, the deadlock situation is a must-have fix.

Impact: fix disabled MCE after resume

Don't prevent multiple initialization of MCEs.

Back from early prehistory mcheck_init() has a reentry check. Presumably
that was needed in very old kernels to prevent it entering twice.

But as Andreas points out this prevents CPU hotplug (and therefore resume)
to correctly reinitialize MCEs when a AP boots again after being
offlined.

Just drop the check.

Commit d015fe99 'powerpc/cell/axon-msi: Retry on missing interrupt'
has turned a rare failure to kexec on QS22 into a reproducible
error, which we have now analysed.

The problem is that after a kexec, the MSIC hardware still points
into the middle of the old ring buffer.  We set up the ring buffer
during reboot, but not the offset into it.  On older kernels, this
would cause a storm of thousands of spurious interrupts after a
kexec, which would most of the time get dropped silently.

With the new code, we time out on each interrupt, waiting for
it to become valid.  If more interrupts come in that we time
out on, this goes on indefinitely, which eventually leads to
a hard crash.

The solution in this commit is to read the current offset from
the MSIC when reinitializing it.  This now works correctly, as
expected.

careful_allocation() was calling into the bootmem allocator for
nodes which had not been fully initialized and caused a previous
bug:  http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/10528/  So, I merged a
few broken out loops in do_init_bootmem() to fix it.  That changed
the code ordering.

I think this bug is triggered by having reserved areas for a node
which are spanned by another node's contents.  In the
mark_reserved_regions_for_nid() code, we attempt to reserve the
area for a node before we have allocated the NODE_DATA() for that
nid.  We do this since I reordered that loop.  I suck.

This is causing crashes at bootup on some systems, as reported
by Jon Tollefson.

This may only present on some systems that have 16GB pages
reserved.  But, it can probably happen on any system that is
trying to reserve large swaths of memory that happen to span other
nodes' contents.

This commit ensures that we do not touch bootmem for any node which
has not been initialized, and also removes a compile warning about
an unused variable.

It looks like most of the hugetlb code is doing the correct thing if
hugepages are not supported, but the mmap code is not.  If we get into
the mmap code when hugepages are not supported, such as in an LPAR
which is running Active Memory Sharing, we can oops the kernel.  This
fixes the oops being seen in this path.

When a cgroup is removed, it's unlinked from its parent's children list,
but not actually freed until the last dentry on it is released (at which
point cgrp->root->number_of_cgroups is decremented).

Currently rebind_subsystems checks for the top cgroup's child list being
empty in order to rebind subsystems into or out of a hierarchy - this can
result in the set of subsystems bound to a hierarchy being
removed-but-not-freed cgroup.

The simplest fix for this is to forbid remounts that change the set of
subsystems on a hierarchy that has removed-but-not-freed cgroups.  This
bug can be reproduced via:

mkdir /mnt/cg
mount -t cgroup -o ns,freezer cgroup /mnt/cg
mkdir /mnt/cg/foo
sleep 1h < /mnt/cg/foo &
rmdir /mnt/cg/foo
mount -t cgroup -o remount,ns,devices,freezer cgroup /mnt/cg
kill $!

Though the above will cause oops in -mm only but not mainline, but the bug
can cause memory leak in mainline (and even oops)

* 'merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/galak/powerpc:
  powerpc/fsl-booke: Fix problem with _tlbil_va being interrupted

VMI initialiation can relocate the fixmap, causing early_ioremap to
malfunction if it is initialized before the relocation.  To fix this,
VMI activation is split into two phases; the detection, which must
happen before setting up ioremap, and the activation, which must happen
after parsing early boot parameters.

This fixes a crash on boot when VMI is enabled under VMware.

If it is reasonable to apply PTR_ERR to the result of calling clk_get, then
that result should first be tested with IS_ERR, not with !.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

FireWire Hard Drive 1TB reports max_rom=2 but returns garbage if block
read requests are used to read the config ROM.  Force max_rom=0 to limit
them to quadlet read requests.
