      powerpc/ptrace: Remove BUG_ON when full register set not available · a71f5d5d
      Mike Wolf 提交于
      In some cases during a threaded core dump not all the threads will have
      a full register set. This happens when the signal causing the core dump
      races with a thread exiting.  The race happens when the exiting thread
      has entered the kernel for the last time before the signal arrives, but
      doesn't get far enough through the exit code to avoid being included
      in the core dump.
      
      So we get a thread included in the core dump which is never going to go
      out to userspace again and only has a partial register set recorded
      
      Normally we would catch each thread as it is about to go into userspace
      and capture the full register set then.
      
      However, this exiting thread is never going to go out to userspace
      again, so we have no way to capture its full register set.  It doesn't
      really matter, though, as this is a thread which is effectively
      already dead.
      
      So instead of hitting a BUG() in this case (a really bad choice of
      action in the first place), we use a poison value for the register
      values.

      powerpc: Factoring mpic cpu id fetching into a function · d6a2639b
      Meador Inge 提交于
      The following code snippet:
      
      	unsigned int cpu = 0;
      	if (mpic->flags & MPIC_PRIMARY)
      		cpu = hard_smp_processor_id();
      
      is seen in several places in the 'mpic.c' code.  This changeset factors
      that pattern out into a helper function called 'mpic_processor_id'.

      powerpc: Make MPIC honor the "pic-no-reset" device tree property · dfec2202
      Meador Inge 提交于
      This property, defined in the Open PIC binding, tells the kernel not to use
      the reset bit in the global configuration register.  Additionally, its
      presence mandates that only sources which are actually used (i.e. appear in
      the device tree) should have their VECPRI bits initialized.
      
      Although, "pic-no-reset" can be used for the same use cases that
      "protected-sources" is covering, the "protected-sources" implementation was
      left completely intact.  This is a more pragmatic approach as there are
      already several existing systems which use protected sources.  If
      "pic-no-reset" *and* "protected-sources" are both used, however, then
      "pic-no-reset" takes precedence in terms of the init behavior and the
      sanity checks done by protected sources will still take place.

      powerpc/pci: Fix crash in PCI code on ppc64 when matching device nodes · 90407c99
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      Commit b5d937de has a bug which causes
      basically a NULL dereference in the PCI code during boot on ppc64
      machines.
      
      fetch_dev_dn() is called when dev->dev.of_node is NULL, so using that
      as the starting point for the search makes no sense. It should instead
      start from the device node of the PHB.

      futex: Sanitize cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API · 37a9d912
      Michel Lespinasse 提交于
      The cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API was funny in that it returned either
      the original, user-exposed futex value OR an error code such as -EFAULT.
      This was confusing at best, and could be a source of livelocks in places
      that retry the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked after trying to fix the issue
      by running fault_in_user_writeable().
          
      This change makes the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API more similar to the
      get_futex_value_locked one, returning an error code and updating the
      original value through a reference argument.

      powerpc/pseries: Disable MSI using new interface if possible · 964a2996
      Nishanth Aravamudan 提交于
      On upcoming hardware, we have a PCI adapter with two functions, one of
      which uses MSI and the other uses MSI-X. This adapter, when MSI is
      disabled using the "old" firmware interface (RTAS_CHANGE_FN), still
      signals an MSI-X interrupt and triggers an EEH. We are working with the
      vendor to ensure that the hardware is not at fault, but if we use the
      "new" interface (RTAS_CHANGE_MSI_FN) to disable MSI, we also
      automatically disable MSI-X and the adapter does not appear to signal
      any stray MSI-X interrupt.
