      [POWERPC] spufs: fix rescheduling of non-runnable contexts · c368392a
      由 Jeremy Kerr 提交于 
      At present, we can hit the BUG_ON in __spu_update_sched_info by reading
the regs file of a context between two calls to spu_run. The
spu_release_saved called by spufs_regs_read() is resulting in the (now
non-runnable) context being placed back on the run queue, so the next
call to spu_run ends up in the bug condition.

This change uses the SPU_SCHED_SPU_RUN flag to only reschedule a context
if it's still in spu_run().

      [POWERPC] spufs: don't (ab)use SCHED_IDLE · ce7c191b
      由 Jeremy Kerr 提交于 
      commit 4ef11014 introduced a usage of SCHED_IDLE to detect when
a context is within spu_run.

Instead of SCHED_IDLE (which has other meaning), add a flag to
sched_flags to tell if a context should be running.

      fix BIOS PCI config cycle buglet causing ACPI boot regression · f5dbb55b
      由 Ingo Molnar 提交于 
      I figured out another ACPI related regression today.

randconfig testing triggered an early boot-time hang on a laptop of mine
(32-bit x86, config attached) - the screen was scrolling ACPI AML
exceptions [with no serial port and no early debugging available].

v2.6.24 works fine on that laptop with the same .config, so after a few
hours of bisection (had to restart it 3 times - other regressions
interacted), it honed in on this commit:

|     acpi: fix acpi_os_read_pci_configuration() misuse of raw_pci_read()

reverting this commit ontop of -rc5 gave a correctly booting kernel.

But this commit fixes a real bug so the real question is, why did it
break the bootup?

After quite some head-scratching, the following change stood out:

-                               pci_id->bus = tu8;
+                               pci_id->bus = val;

pci_id->bus is defined as u16:

   struct acpi_pci_id {
           u16 segment;
           u16 bus;
   ...

and 'tu8' changed from u8 to u32. So previously we'd unconditionally
mask the return value of acpi_os_read_pci_configuration()
(raw_pci_read()) to 8 bits, but now we just trust whatever comes back
from the PCI access routines and only crop it to 16 bits.

But if the high 8 bits of that result contains any noise then we'll
write that into ACPI's PCI ID descriptor and confuse the heck out of the
rest of ACPI.

So lets check the PCI-BIOS code on that theory. We have this codepath
for 8-bit accesses (arch/x86/pci/pcbios.c:pci_bios_read()):

        switch (len) {
        case 1:
                __asm__("lcall *(%%esi); cld\n\t"
                        "jc 1f\n\t"
                        "xor %%ah, %%ah\n"
                        "1:"
                        : "=c" (*value),
                          "=a" (result)
                        : "1" (PCIBIOS_READ_CONFIG_BYTE),
                          "b" (bx),
                          "D" ((long)reg),
                          "S" (&pci_indirect));

Aha! The "=a" output constraint puts the full 32 bits of EAX into
*value. But if the BIOS's routines set any of the high bits to nonzero,
we'll return a value with more set in it than intended.

The other, more common PCI access methods (v1 and v2 PCI reads) clear
out the high bits already, for example pci_conf1_read() does:

        switch (len) {
        case 1:
                *value = inb(0xCFC + (reg & 3));

which explicitly converts the return byte up to 32 bits and zero-extends
it.

So zero-extending the result in the PCI-BIOS read routine fixes the
regression on my laptop. ( It might fix some other long-standing issues
we had with PCI-BIOS during the past decade ... ) Both 8-bit and 16-bit
accesses were buggy.

      lguest: Revert 1ce70c4f, fix real problem. · 4357bd94
      由 Rusty Russell 提交于 
      Ahmed managed to crash the Host in release_pgd(), which cannot be a Guest
bug, and indeed it wasn't.

The bug was that handing a 0 as the address of the toplevel page table
being manipulated can cause the lookup code in find_pgdir() to return
an uninitialized cache entry (we shadow up to 4 top level page tables
for each Guest).

Commit 37cc8d7f introduced this
behaviour in the Guest, uncovering the bug.

The patch which he submitted (which removed the /4 from the index
calculation) simply ensured that these high-indexed entries hit the
early exit path of guest_set_pmd().  But you get lots of segfaults in
guest userspace as the PMDs aren't being updated.

      lguest: Sanitize the lguest clock. · 3fabc55f
      由 Rusty Russell 提交于 
      Now the TSC code handles a zero return from calculate_cpu_khz(),
lguest can simply pass through the value it gets from the Host: if
non-zero, all the normal TSC code applies.

Otherwise (or if the Host really doesn't support TSC), the clocksource
code will fall back to the slower but reasonable lguest clock.
