On OMAP platforms, some people want to declare to segment up the memory between the kernel and a separate application such that there is a hole in the middle of the memory as far as Linux is concerned. However, they want to be able to mmap() the hole. This currently causes problems, because update_mmu_cache() thinks that there are valid struct pages for the "hole". Fix this by making pfn_valid() slightly more expensive, by checking whether the PFN is contained within the meminfo array.

Let's suppose a highmem page is kmap'd with kmap(). A pkmap entry is used, the page mapped to it, and the virtual cache is dirtied. Then kunmap() is used which does virtually nothing except for decrementing a usage count. Then, let's suppose the _same_ page gets mapped using kmap_atomic(). It is therefore mapped onto a fixmap entry instead, which has a different virtual address unaware of the dirty cache data for that page sitting in the pkmap mapping. Fortunately it is easy to know if a pkmap mapping still exists for that page and use it directly with kmap_atomic(), thanks to kmap_high_get(). And actual testing with a printk in the added code path shows that this condition is actually met *extremely* frequently. Seems that we've been quite lucky that things have worked so well with highmem so far.

In xdr_partial_copy_from_skb() there is that sequence: kaddr = kmap_atomic(*ppage, KM_SKB_SUNRPC_DATA); [...] flush_dcache_page(*ppage); kunmap_atomic(kaddr, KM_SKB_SUNRPC_DATA); Mixing flush_dcache_page() and kmap_atomic() is a bit odd, especially since kunmap_atomic() must deal with cache issues already. OTOH the non-highmem case must use flush_dcache_page() as kunmap_atomic() becomes a no op with no cache maintenance. Problem is that with highmem the implementation of kmap_atomic() doesn't set page->virtual, and page_address(page) returns 0 in that case. Here flush_dcache_page() calls __flush_dcache_page() which calls __cpuc_flush_dcache_page(page_address(page)) resulting in a kernel oops. None of the kmap_atomic() implementations uses set_page_address(). Hence we can assume page_address() is always expected to return 0 in that case. Let's conditionally call __cpuc_flush_dcache_page() only when the page address is non zero, and perform that test only when highmem is configured.

When page alloc debugging is not enabled, we essentially accept any virtual address for linear kernel TLB misses. But with kgdb, kernel address probing, and other facilities we can try to access arbitrary crap. So, make sure the address we miss on will translate to physical memory that actually exists. In order to make this work we have to embed the valid address bitmap into the kernel image. And in order to make that less expensive we make an adjustment, in that the max physical memory address is decreased to "1 << 41", even on the chips that support a 42-bit physical address space. We can do this because bit 41 indicates "I/O space" and thus covers non-memory ranges. The result of this is that: 1) kpte_linear_bitmap shrinks from 2K to 1K in size 2) we need 64K more for the valid address bitmap We can't let the valid address bitmap be dynamically allocated once we start using it to validate TLB misses, otherwise we have crazy issues to deal with wrt. recursive TLB misses and such. If we're in a TLB miss it could be the deepest trap level that's legal inside of the cpu. So if we TLB miss referencing the bitmap, the cpu will be out of trap levels and enter RED state. To guard against out-of-range accesses to the bitmap, we have to check to make sure no bits in the physical address above bit 40 are set. We could export and use last_valid_pfn for this check, but that's just an unnecessary extra memory reference. On the plus side of all this, since we load all of these translations into the special 4MB mapping TSB, and we check the TSB first for TLB misses, there should be absolutely no real cost for these new checks in the TLB miss path.

binutils prior to 2.17 can't deal with the currently possible situation of a new segment following the per-CPU segment, but that new segment being empty - objcopy misplaces the .bss (and perhaps also the .brk) sections outside of any segment. However, the current ordering of sections really just appears to be the effect of cumulative unrelated changes; re-ordering things allows to easily guarantee that the segment following the per-CPU one is non-empty, and at once eliminates the need for the bogus data.init2 segment. Once touching this code, also use the various data section helper macros from include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h. -v2: fix !SMP builds.

As noted in 83d349f3 ("x86: don't send an IPI to the empty set of CPU's"), some APIC's will be very unhappy with an empty destination mask. That commit added a WARN_ON() for that case, and avoided the resulting problem, but didn't fix the underlying reason for why those empty mask cases happened. This fixes that, by checking the result of 'cpumask_andnot()' of the current CPU actually has any other CPU's left in the set of CPU's to be sent a TLB flush, and not calling down to the IPI code if the mask is empty. The reason this started happening at all is that we started passing just the CPU mask pointers around in commit 4595f962 ("x86: change flush_tlb_others to take a const struct cpumask"), and when we did that, the cpumask was no longer thread-local. Before that commit, flush_tlb_mm() used to create it's own copy of 'mm->cpu_vm_mask' and pass that copy down to the low-level flush routines after having tested that it was not empty. But after changing it to just pass down the CPU mask pointer, the lower level TLB flush routines would now get a pointer to that 'mm->cpu_vm_mask', and that could still change - and become empty - after the test due to other CPU's having flushed their own TLB's.

The default_send_IPI_mask_logical() function uses the "flat" APIC mode to send an IPI to a set of CPU's at once, but if that set happens to be empty, some older local APIC's will apparently be rather unhappy. So just warn if a caller gives us an empty mask, and ignore it. This fixes a regression in 2.6.30.x, due to commit 4595f962 ("x86: change flush_tlb_others to take a const struct cpumask"), documented here: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13933 which causes a silent lock-up. It only seems to happen on PPro, P2, P3 and Athlon XP cores. Most developers sadly (or not so sadly, if you're a developer..) have more modern CPU's. Also, on x86-64 we don't use the flat APIC mode, so it would never trigger there even if the APIC didn't like sending an empty IPI mask.

Currently clockevents_notify() is called with interrupts enabled at some places and interrupts disabled at some other places. This results in a deadlock in this scenario. cpu A holds clockevents_lock in clockevents_notify() with irqs enabled cpu B waits for clockevents_lock in clockevents_notify() with irqs disabled cpu C doing set_mtrr() which will try to rendezvous of all the cpus. This will result in C and A come to the rendezvous point and waiting for B. B is stuck forever waiting for the spinlock and thus not reaching the rendezvous point. Fix the clockevents code so that clockevents_lock is taken with interrupts disabled and thus avoid the above deadlock. Also call lapic_timer_propagate_broadcast() on the destination cpu so that we avoid calling smp_call_function() in the clockevents notifier chain. This issue left us wondering if we need to change the MTRR rendezvous logic to use stop machine logic (instead of smp_call_function) or add a check in spinlock debug code to see if there are other spinlocks which gets taken under both interrupts enabled/disabled conditions.

Normally, srmmu uses different trap table register values to allow determination of the cpu we're on. All of the trap tables have identical content, they just sit at different offsets from the first trap table, and the offset shifted down and masked out determines the cpu we are on. The code tries to free them up when they aren't actually used (don't have all 4 cpus, we're on sun4d, etc.) but that causes problems. For one thing it triggers false positives in the DMA debugging code. And fixing that up while preserving this relative offset thing isn't trivial. So just kill the freeing code, it costs us at most 3 pages, big deal... Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The problem is caused by this detail in my config: # CONFIG_CPU_SUP_INTEL is not set This disables the quirks in mce_cpu_quirks() but still enables MCE support - which then hangs due to the missing quirk workaround needed on this CPU: if (c->x86 == 6 && c->x86_model < 0x1A && banks > 0) mce_banks[0].init = 0; The safe solution is to not initialize MCEs if we dont know on what CPU we are running (or if that CPU's support code got disabled in the config). Also be a bit more defensive on 32-bit systems: dont do a boot-time dump of pending MCEs not just on the specific system that we found a problem with (Pentium-M), but earlier ones as well. Now this problem is probably not common and disabling CPU support is rare - but still being more defensive in something we turned on for a wide range of CPUs is prudent.
