      acpi-cpufreq: fix 'smp_call_function_many()' confusion · ea34f43a
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      It turns out that 'smp_call_function_many()' doesn't work at all like
      'smp_call_function_single()', and my change to Andrew's patch to use it
      rather than a loop over all CPU's acpi-cpufreq doesn't work.
      
      My bad.
      
      'smp_call_function_many()' has two "features" (aka "documented bugs"):
      
       (a) it needs to be called with preemption disabled, because it uses
           smp_processor_id() without guarding the CPU lookup with 'get_cpu()'
           and 'put_cpu()' like the 'single' variant does.
      
       (b) even if the current CPU is part of the CPU mask, it won't do the
           call on that CPU.
      
      Still, we're better off trying to use 'smp_call_function_many()' than
      looping over CPU's, since it at least in theory allows us to use a
      broadcast IPI and do it all in parallel.  So let's just work around the
      silly semantic bugs in that function.

      powerpc: Fix data-corrupting bug in __futex_atomic_op · 306a8288
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      Richard Henderson pointed out that the powerpc __futex_atomic_op has a
      bug: it will write the wrong value if the stwcx. fails and it has to
      retry the lwarx/stwcx. loop, since 'oparg' will have been overwritten
      by the result from the first time around the loop.  This happens
      because it uses the same register for 'oparg' (an input) as it uses
      for the result.
      
      This fixes it by using separate registers for 'oparg' and 'ret'.
