do_notify_resume() may be called on irq or exception exit. But at that time the exception has already called rcu_user_enter() and the irq has already called rcu_irq_exit(). Since it can use RCU read side critical section, we must call rcu_user_exit() before doing anything there. Then we must call back rcu_user_enter() after this function because we know we are going to userspace from there. This complete support for userspace RCU extended quiescent state in x86-64.

Traditionally, the entire idle task served as an RCU quiescent state. But when RCU read side critical sections started appearing within the idle loop, this traditional strategy became untenable. The fix was to create new RCU APIs named rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit(), which must be called by each architecture's idle loop so that RCU can tell when it is safe to ignore a given idle CPU. Unfortunately, this fix was never applied to ia64, a shortcoming remedied by this commit. Reported by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

In the old times, the whole idle task was considered as an RCU quiescent state. But as RCU became more and more successful overtime, some RCU read side critical section have been added even in the code of some architectures idle tasks, for tracing for example. So nowadays, rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit() must be called by the architecture to tell RCU about the part in the idle loop that doesn't make use of rcu read side critical sections, typically the part that puts the CPU in low power mode.

To fix the warning, let's convert common clk users over to clk notifiers in place of CPUfreq notifiers. This works out nicely for Cortex-A9 MPcore designs that scale all CPUs at the same frequency. Platforms that have not been converted to the common clk framework and support CPUfreq will rely on the old mechanism. Once these platforms are converted over fully then we can remove the CPUfreq-specific bits for good.

As the initial domain we are able to search/map certain regions of memory to harvest configuration data. For all low-level we use ACPI tables - for interrupts we use exclusively ACPI _PRT (so DSDT) and MADT for INT_SRC_OVR. The SMP MP table is not used at all. As a matter of fact we do not even support machines that only have SMP MP but no ACPI tables. Lets follow how Moorestown does it and just disable searching for BIOS SMP tables. This also fixes an issue on HP Proliant BL680c G5 and DL380 G6: 9f->100 for 1:1 PTE Freeing 9f-100 pfn range: 97 pages freed 1-1 mapping on 9f->100 .. snip.. e820: BIOS-provided physical RAM map: Xen: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000000009efff] usable Xen: [mem 0x000000000009f400-0x00000000000fffff] reserved Xen: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000cfd1dfff] usable .. snip..

Since 0x100 is actually a RAM page, and the _PAGE_IOMAP bypasses the P2M lookup we would happily set the PTE to 1000461. Xen would deny the request since we do not have access to the Machine Frame Number (MFN) of 0x100. The P2M[0x100] is for example 0x80140.

This patch updates the existing Intel IvyBridge (model 58) support with proper PEBS event constraints. It cannot reuse the same as SandyBridge because some events (0xd3) are specific to IvyBridge. Also there is no UOPS_DISPATCHED.THREAD on IVB, so do not populate the PERF_COUNT_HW_STALLED_CYCLES_BACKEND mapping.

Since i.MX has SPARSE_IRQ enabled the i.MX25 timer is broken. This is because the internal irqs now start at an offset of NR_IRQS_LEGACY. The patch fixed this up, but missed the i.MX25 timer which used a hardcoded value instead of a define. This patch introduces a define for the timer irq and uses it. This is broken since introduced with 3.6-rc1: | commit 8842a9e2 | Author: Shawn Guo <shawn.guo@linaro.org> | Date: Thu Jun 14 11:16:14 2012 +0800 | | ARM: imx: enable SPARSE_IRQ for imx platform Signed-off-by: NSascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de> Acked-by: NShawn Guo <shawn.guo@linaro.org>

As Al notes, we missed a TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME check which caused any handlers without TIF_SIGPENDING also set to skip the notification: Looks like while it is in the relevant masks *and* checked in do_notify_resume() both on 32bit and 64bit variants since commit ab99c733 ("sh: Make syscall tracer use tracehook notifiers, add TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME.") they are actually *not* reached without simulataneous SIGPENDING, since the actual glue in the callers had not been updated back then and still checks for _TIF_SIGPENDING alone when deciding whether to hit do_notify_resume() or not.

The s390 page-table walk code, used for user copy and futex, currently cannot handle huge pages. As far as user copy is concerned, that is not really a problem because those functions will only be used on old hardware that has no huge page support. But the futex code will also use pagetable walk functions on current hardware when user space runs in primary space mode. So, if a futex sits in a huge page, the futex operation on it will result in a page fault loop or even data corruption. This patch adds the code for resolving huge page mappings in the user access pagetable walk code on s390.

From 0cdf3aff, "ARM: SAMSUNG: use spin_lock_irqsave() in clk_{enable,disable}": The clk_enable()and clk_disable() can be used process and ISR either. And actually it is used for real product and other platforms use it now. So spin_lock_irqsave() should be used instead. We need to make a similar change in clk_set_parent().

This patch zeroes the SCTLR.TRE bit prior to setting the mapping as cacheable for ARMv7 cores in the decompressor, ensuring that the memory region attributes are obtained from the C and B bits, not from the page tables.

The managed clk functions are currently only available when the generic clk lookup framework is build. But the managed clk functions are merely wrappers around clk_get and clk_put and do not depend on any specifics of the generic lookup functions and there are still quite a few custom implementations of the clk API. So make the managed functions available whenever the clk API is implemented. The patch also removes the custom implementation of devm_clk_get for the coldfire platform.

YAMON requires and enforces the RTC Data Mode (Register B, DM bit) to binary, that is the bit is set every time the board goes through the firmware bootstrap sequence. Likewise its calendar manipulation commands interpret or set the RTC registers unconditionally as binary, never actually checking what the value of the DM bit is, under the (correct) assumption that it has been previously set, to indicate the binary mode. A change to Linux a while ago however introduced a platform-specific tweak that clears that bit and therefore forces the data mode to BCD. This causes clock corruption and misinterpretation that has to be fixed up by user-mode tools in system startup scripts as the initial clock is often incorrect according to the BCD interpretation forced. This change removes the hack; a comment included refers to alarm code, but even if it was broken at one point by requiring the BCD mode, it should have been trivially corrected and even if not, given how rarely the alarm feature is used, that was not really a reasonable justification to break the system clock that is indeed used by virtually everything. And either way the alarm code has been since fixed anyway. Signed-off-by: NMaciej W.
