During CPU hot-remove the sysfs directory created by threshold_create_bank(), defined in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce_amd_64.c, has to be removed before its parent directory, created by mce_create_device(), defined in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce_64.c . Moreover, when the CPU in question is hotplugged again, obviously the latter has to be created before the former. At present, the right ordering is not enforced, because all of these operations are carried out by CPU hotplug notifiers which are not appropriately ordered with respect to each other. This leads to serious problems on systems with two or more multicore AMD CPUs, among other things during suspend and hibernation. Fix the problem by placing threshold bank CPU hotplug callbacks in mce_cpu_callback(), so that they are invoked at the right places, if defined. Additionally, use kobject_del() to remove the sysfs directory associated with the kobject created by kobject_create_and_add() in threshold_create_bank(), to prevent the kernel from crashing during CPU hotplug operations on systems with two or more multicore AMD CPUs.

Since some qdiscs call qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen() (so qdisc_lookup()) without rtnl_lock(), adding and deleting from a qdisc list needs additional locking. This patch adds global spinlock qdisc_list_lock and wrapper functions for modifying the list.

Dave Müller sent a diff for the pata_oldpiix that highlighted a problem where a lot of the ATA drivers assume dma_mode == 0 means "no DMA" while the core code uses 0xFF. This turns out to have other consequences such as code doing >= XFER_UDMA_0 also catching 0xFF as UDMAlots. Fortunately it doesn't generally affect set_dma_mode, although some drivers call back into their own set mode code from other points. Having been through the drivers I've added helpers for using_udma/using_mwdma dma_enabled so that people don't open code ranges that may change (eg if UDMA8 appears somewhere) Thanks to David for the initial bits [and added fix for pata_oldpiix from and signed-off-by Dave Mueller <dave.mueller@gmx.ch> -jg] Signed-off-by: NAlan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NJeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

Save SControl during probing and restore it on detach. This prevents adjustments made by libata drivers to seep into the next driver which gets attached (be it a libata one or not). It's not clear whether SControl also needs to be restored on suspend. The next system to have control (ACPI or kexec'd kernel) would probably like to see the original SControl value but there's no guarantee that a link is gonna keep working after SControl is adjusted without a reset and adding a reset and modified recovery cycle soley for this is an overkill. For now, do it only for detach. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NJeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

This patch (as1128) fixes one of the problems related to the new PM infrastructure. We are not allowed to register new child devices during the middle of a system sleep transition, but unbinding a USB driver causes the core to automatically install altsetting 0 and thereby create new endpoint pseudo-devices. The patch fixes this problem (and the related problem that installing altsetting 0 will fail if the device is suspended) by deferring the Set-Interface call until some later time when it is legal and can succeed. Possible later times are: when a new driver is being probed for the interface, and when the interface is being resumed.

There is a race with dirty page accounting where a page may not properly be accounted for. clear_page_dirty_for_io() calls page_mkclean; then TestClearPageDirty. page_mkclean walks the rmaps for that page, and for each one it cleans and write protects the pte if it was dirty. It uses page_check_address to find the pte. That function has a shortcut to avoid the ptl if the pte is not present. Unfortunately, the pte can be switched to not-present then back to present by other code while holding the page table lock -- this should not be a signal for page_mkclean to ignore that pte, because it may be dirty. For example, powerpc64's set_pte_at will clear a previously present pte before setting it to the desired value. There may also be other code in core mm or in arch which do similar things. The consequence of the bug is loss of data integrity due to msync, and loss of dirty page accounting accuracy. XIP's __xip_unmap could easily also be unreliable (depending on the exact XIP locking scheme), which can lead to data corruption. Fix this by having an option to always take ptl to check the pte in page_check_address. It's possible to retain this optimization for page_referenced and try_to_unmap.

I won't say 'fix', because they still look broken, although this will at least allow 'make ARCH=CRIS headers_install' to _complete_. For headers which are exported, we should probably choose between asm/arch-v10 and asm/arch-v32 by something that GCC defines -- we can't rely on a generated symlink. And we certainly can't export an arch/ directory which doesn't even exist. And the only thing that we seem to include from the arch/ directory is <asm/arch/ptrace.h> from <asm/ptrace.h> ... and that isn't exported in either arch-v10 or arch-v32 _anyway_.

Quoting Mike Travis in "x86: cleanup early per cpu variables/accesses v4" (23ca4bba): The DEFINE macro defines the per_cpu variable as well as the early map and pointer. It also initializes the per_cpu variable and map elements to "_initvalue". The early_* macros provide access to the initial map (usually setup during system init) and the early pointer. This pointer is initialized to point to the early map but is then NULL'ed when the actual per_cpu areas are setup. After that the per_cpu variable is the correct access to the variable. As these variables are NULL'ed before __init sections are dropped (in setup_per_cpu_maps), they can be safely annotated as __ref.

x86_64 add/sub atomic ops does not seems to accept integer values bigger than 32 bits as immediates. Intel's add/sub documentation specifies they have to be passed as registers. The only operations in the x86-64 architecture which accept arbitrary 64-bit immediates is "movq" to any register; similarly, the only operation which accept arbitrary 64-bit displacement is "movabs" to or from al/ax/eax/rax. http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.3.0/gcc/Machine-Constraints.html states : e 32-bit signed integer constant, or a symbolic reference known to fit that range (for immediate operands in sign-extending x86-64 instructions). Z 32-bit unsigned integer constant, or a symbolic reference known to fit that range (for immediate operands in zero-extending x86-64 instructions). Since add/sub does sign extension, using the "e" constraint seems appropriate. It applies to 2.6.27-rc, 2.6.26, 2.6.25...
