      generic bug: use show_regs() instead of dump_stack() · 608e2619
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      The current generic bug implementation has a call to dump_stack() in case a
      WARN_ON(whatever) gets hit.  Since report_bug(), which calls dump_stack(),
      gets called from an exception handler we can do better: just pass the
      pt_regs structure to report_bug() and pass it to show_regs() in case of a
      warning.  This will give more debug informations like register contents,
      etc...  In addition this avoids some pointless lines that dump_stack()
      emits, since it includes a stack backtrace of the exception handler which
      is of no interest in case of a warning.  E.g.  on s390 the following lines
      are currently always present in a stack backtrace if dump_stack() gets
      called from report_bug():
      
       [<000000000001517a>] show_trace+0x92/0xe8)

      move die notifier handling to common code · 1eeb66a1
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code.  Previous
      various architectures had exactly the same code for it.  Note that the new
      code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to
      the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka
      sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place)
      
      arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to
      arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's
      declared and used at.  avr32 used to pass slightly less information through
      this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

      backlight: Fix external uses of backlight internal semaphore · 28ee086d
      Richard Purdie 提交于
      backlight_device->sem has a very specific use as documented in the
      header file. The external users of this are using it for a different
      reason, to serialise access to the update_status() method.
      
      backlight users were supposed to implement their own internal
      serialisation of update_status() if needed but everyone is doing
      things differently and incorrectly. Therefore add a global mutex to
      take care of serialisation for everyone, once and for all.
      
      Locking for get_brightness remains optional since most users don't
      need it.

      [POWERPC] Fixup error handling when emulating a floating point instruction · 5fad293b
      Kumar Gala 提交于
      When we do full FP emulation its possible that we need to post a SIGFPE based
      on the results of the emulation.  The previous code ignored this case completely.
      
      Additionally, the Soft_emulate_8xx case had two issues.  One, we should never
      generate a SIGFPE since the code only does data movement.  Second, we were
      interpreting the return codes incorrectly, it returns 0 on success, 1 on
      illop and -EFAULT on a data access error.

      This makes powerpc use the generic BUG machinery.  The biggest reports the

      There is an overall reduction of code, since module_32/64 duplicated several

      Unfortunately there's no way to tell gcc that BUG won't return, so the BUG

      [POWERPC] Add support for FP emulation for the e300c2 core · aa42c69c
      Kim Phillips 提交于
      The e300c2 has no FPU.  Its MSR[FP] is grounded to zero.  If an attempt
      is made to execute a floating point instruction (including floating-point
      load, store, or move instructions), the e300c2 takes a floating-point
      unavailable interrupt.
      
      This patch adds support for FP emulation on the e300c2 by declaring a
      new CPU_FTR_FP_TAKES_FPUNAVAIL, where FP unavail interrupts are
      intercepted and redirected to the ProgramCheck exception path for
      correct emulation handling.
      
      (If we run out of CPU_FTR bits we could look to reclaim this bit by adding
      support to test the cpu_user_features for PPC_FEATURE_HAS_FPU instead)
      
      It adds a nop to the exception path for 32-bit processors with a FPU.

      [POWERPC] Make secondary CPUs call into kdump on reset exception · eac8392f
      David Wilder 提交于
      In the case of a system hang, the user will invoke soft-reset to
      initiate the kdump boot.  If xmon is enabled, the CPU(s) enter into the
      xmon debugger.   Unfortunately, the secondary CPU(s) will return to the
      hung state when they exit from the debugger (returned from die() ->
      system_reset_exception()).  This causes a problem in kdump since the
      hung CPU(s) will not respond to the IPI sent from kdump.  This patch
      fixes the issue by calling crash_kexec_secondary() directly from
      system_reset_exception() without returning to the previous state.  These
      secondary CPUs wait 5ms until the kdump boot is started by the primary
      CPU.   In the case we exited from the debugger to "recover" (command 'x'
      in xmon) the primary and the secondary CPUs will all return from die()
      -> system_reset_exception() ->crash_kexec_secondary() wait 5ms, then
      return to the previous state.  A kdump boot is not started in this case.

      Horms 提交于
      This patch is part of an effort to unify the panic_on_oops behaviour across
      all architectures that implement it.
      
      It was pointed out to me by Andi Kleen that if an oops has occured in
      interrupt context, then calling sleep() in the oops path will only cause a
      panic, and that it would be really better for it not to be in the path at
      all.
      
      This patch removes the ssleep() call and reworks the console message
      accordinly.  I have a slght concern that the resulting console message is
      too long, feedback welcome.
      
      For powerpc it also unifies the 32bit and 64bit behaviour.
      
      Fror x86_64, this patch only updates the console message, as ssleep() is
      already not present.

      [POWERPC] Add the use of the firmware soft-reset-nmi to kdump. · c0ce7d08
      David Wilder 提交于
      With this patch, kdump uses the firmware soft-reset NMI for two purposes:
      1) Initiate the kdump (take a crash dump) by issuing a soft-reset.
      2) Break a CPU out of a deadlock condition that is detected during kdump
      processing.
      
      When a soft-reset is initiated each CPU will enter
      system_reset_exception() and set its corresponding bit in the global
      bit-array cpus_in_sr then call die(). When die() finds the CPU's bit set
      in cpu_in_sr crash_kexec() is called to initiate a crash dump. The first
      CPU to enter crash_kexec() is called the "crashing CPU". All other CPUs
      are "secondary CPUs". The secondary CPU's pass through to
      crash_kexec_secondary() and sleep. The crashing CPU waits for all CPUs
      to enter via soft-reset then boots the kdump kernel (see
      crash_soft_reset_check())
      
      When the system crashes due to a panic or exception, crash_kexec() is
      called by panic() or die(). The crashing CPU sends an IPI to all other
      CPUs to notify them of the pending shutdown. If a CPU is in a deadlock
      or hung state with interrupts disabled, the IPI will not be delivered.
      The result being, that the kdump kernel is not booted. This problem is
      solved with the use of a firmware generated soft-reset. After the
      crashing_cpu has issued the IPI, it waits for 10 sec for all CPUs to
      enter crash_ipi_callback(). A CPU signifies its entry to
      crash_ipi_callback() by setting its corresponding bit in the
      cpus_in_crash bit array. After 10 sec, if one or more CPUs have not set
      their bit in cpus_in_crash we assume that the CPU(s) is deadlocked. The
      operator is then prompted to generate a soft-reset to break the
      deadlock. Each CPU enters the soft reset handler as described above.
      
      Two conditions must be handled at this point:
      1) The system crashed because the operator generated a soft-reset. See
      2) The system had crashed before the soft-reset was generated ( in the
      case of a Panic or oops).
      
      The first CPU to enter crash_kexec() uses the state of the kexec_lock to
      determine this state. If kexec_lock is already held then condition 2 is
      true and crash_kexec_secondary() is called, else; this CPU is flagged as
      the crashing CPU, the kexec_lock is acquired and crash_kexec() proceeds
      as described above.
      
      Each additional CPUs responding to the soft-reset will pass through
      crash_kexec() to kexec_secondary(). All secondary CPUs call
      crash_ipi_callback() readying them self's for the shutdown. When ready
      they clear their bit in cpus_in_sr. The crashing CPU waits in
      kexec_secondary() until all other CPUs have cleared their bits in
      cpus_in_sr. The kexec kernel boot is then started.

      [PATCH] powerpc: Implement support for setting little-endian mode via prctl · fab5db97
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This adds the PowerPC part of the code to allow processes to change
      their endian mode via prctl.
      
      This also extends the alignment exception handler to be able to fix up
      alignment exceptions that occur in little-endian mode, both for
      "PowerPC" little-endian and true little-endian.
      
      We always enter signal handlers in big-endian mode -- the support for
      little-endian mode does not amount to the creation of a little-endian
      user/kernel ABI.  If the signal handler returns, the endian mode is
      restored to what it was when the signal was delivered.
      
      We have two new kernel CPU feature bits, one for PPC little-endian and
      one for true little-endian.  Most of the classic 32-bit processors
      support PPC little-endian, and this is reflected in the CPU feature
      table.  There are two corresponding feature bits reported to userland
      in the AT_HWCAP aux vector entry.
      
      This is based on an earlier patch by Anton Blanchard.

      [PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changes · e041c683
      Alan Stern 提交于
      The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe.  There is no
      protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
      chain is in use.  The issues were discussed in this thread:
      
          http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2
      
      We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
      classes:
      
      	"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
      	and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;
      
      	"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
      	the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.
      
      We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API.  Therefore
      this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
      notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
      really just the old API under a new name).  New kinds of data structures are
      used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
      registration, unregistration, and calling a chain.  The three APIs are
      explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
      kernel/sys.c.
      
      With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
      links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
      entries being added or removed.  For raw chains the implementation provides no
      guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections.  (The
      idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
      blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
      handle these things in their own way.)
      
      There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with.  For
      atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
      a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem.  Also, a
      callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
      entries on its own chain.  (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
      had to be changed to avoid it.)
      
      Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
      spinlocks for synchronization.  Instead we use RCU.  The overhead falls almost
      entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
      less frequent that calling a chain.
      
      Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications.  None
      of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.
      
        ATOMIC CHAINS
        -------------
      arch/i386/kernel/traps.c:		i386die_chain
      arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c:		ia64die_chain

      net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:	ip_conntrack_chain
      net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:	ip_conntrack_expect_chain
      net/ipv6/addrconf.c:			inet6addr_chain

      net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_expect_chain
      net/netlink/af_netlink.c:		netlink_chain
      
        BLOCKING CHAINS
        ---------------
      arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c:	pSeries_reconfig_chain
      arch/s390/kernel/process.c:		idle_chain
      arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c		idle_notifier
      drivers/base/memory.c:			memory_chain
      drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_policy_notifier_list
      drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_transition_notifier_list
      drivers/macintosh/adb.c:		adb_client_list
      drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c		sleep_notifier_list
      drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c		sleep_notifier_list
      drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c	wf_client_list

      net/decnet/dn_dev.c:			dnaddr_chain
      net/ipv4/devinet.c:			inetaddr_chain
      
      It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong.  If they are,
      please let us know or submit a patch to fix them.  Note that any chain that
      gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
      used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
      (However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
      atomic.)
      
      The patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating
      material written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew
      Morton.

      powerpc: Fix might-sleep warning in program check exception handler · cd8a5673
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      On 32-bit, the exception prolog for the program check exception doesn't
      enable interrupts early on.  If it is an illegal instruction exception,
      we read the instruction in order to emulate certain instructions, and
      the get_user of the instruction triggers a WARN_ON since interrupts
      are still disabled.  This adds a local_irq_enable() to enable
      interrupts before reading the instruction.

      [PATCH] powerpc: Merge vdso's and add vdso support to 32 bits kernel · a7f290da
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This patch moves the vdso's to arch/powerpc, adds support for the 32
      bits vdso to the 32 bits kernel, rename systemcfg (finally !), and adds
      some new (still untested) routines to both vdso's: clock_gettime() with
      support for CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC, clock_getres() (same
      clocks) and get_tbfreq() for glibc to retreive the timebase frequency.
      
      Tom,Steve: The implementation of get_tbfreq() I've done for 32 bits
      returns a long long (r3, r4) not a long. This is such that if we ever
      add support for >4Ghz timebases on ppc32, the userland interface won't
      have to change.
      
      I have tested gettimeofday() using some glibc patches in both ppc32 and
      ppc64 kernels using 32 bits userland (I haven't had a chance to test a
      64 bits userland yet, but the implementation didn't change and was
      tested earlier). I haven't tested yet the new functions.
