powerpc: Keep thread.dscr and thread.dscr_inherit in sync

2012-12-17T18:49:05Z

commit 00ca0de02f80924dfff6b4f630e1dff3db005e35 upstream. When we update the DSCR either via emulation of mtspr(DSCR) or via a change to dscr_default in sysfs we don't update thread.dscr. We will eventually update it at context switch time but there is a period where thread.dscr is incorrect. If we fork at this point we will copy the old value of thread.dscr into the child. To avoid this, always keep thread.dscr in sync with reality.

powerpc: Update DSCR on all CPUs when writing sysfs dscr_default

2012-12-17T18:49:05Z

commit 1b6ca2a6fe56e7697d57348646e07df08f43b1bb upstream. Writing to dscr_default in sysfs doesn't actually change the DSCR - we rely on a context switch on each CPU to do the work. There is no guarantee we will get a context switch in a reasonable amount of time so fire off an IPI to force an immediate change.

ftrace: Clear bits properly in reset_iter_read()

2012-12-17T18:49:05Z

commit 70f77b3f7ec010ff9624c1f2e39a81babc9e2429 upstream. There is a typo here where '&' is used instead of '|' and it turns the statement into a noop. The original code is equivalent to: iter->flags &= ~((1 << 2) & (1 << 4)); Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20120609161027.GD6488@elgon.mountain Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

xhci: Extend Fresco Logic MSI quirk.

2012-12-17T18:49:05Z

commit bba18e33f25072ebf70fd8f7f0cdbf8cdb59a746 upstream. Ali reports that plugging a device into the Fresco Logic xHCI host with PCI device ID 1400 produces an IRQ error: do_IRQ: 3.176 No irq handler for vector (irq -1) Other early Fresco Logic host revisions don't support MSI, even though their PCI config space claims they do. Extend the quirk to disabling MSI to this chipset revision. Also enable the short transfer quirk, since it's likely this revision also has that quirk, and it should be harmless to enable. 04:00.0 0c03: 1b73:1400 (rev 01) (prog-if 30 [XHCI]) Subsystem: 1d5c:1000 Physical Slot: 3 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx+ Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- SERR- Reported-by: A Sh Tested-by: A Sh Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

USB: OHCI: workaround for hardware bug: retired TDs not added to the Done Queue

2012-12-17T18:49:04Z

commit 50ce5c0683aa83eb161624ea89daa5a9eee0c2ce upstream. This patch (as1636) is a partial workaround for a hardware bug affecting OHCI controllers by NVIDIA at least, maybe others too. When the controller retires a Transfer Descriptor, it is supposed to add the TD onto the Done Queue. But sometimes this doesn't happen, with the result that ohci-hcd never realizes the corresponding transfer has finished. Symptoms can vary; a typical result is that USB audio stops working after a while. The patch works around the problem by recognizing that TDs are always processed in order. Therefore, if a later TD is found on the Done Queue than all the earlier TDs for the same endpoint must be finished as well. Unfortunately this won't solve the problem in cases where the missing TD is the last one in the endpoint's queue. A complete fix would require a signficant amount of change to the driver.

ACPI / PNP: Do not crash due to stale pointer use during system resume

2012-12-17T18:49:04Z

commit a6b5e88c0e42093b9057856f35770966c8c591e3 upstream. During resume from system suspend the 'data' field of struct pnp_dev in pnpacpi_set_resources() may be a stale pointer, due to removal of the associated ACPI device node object in the previous suspend-resume cycle. This happens, for example, if a dockable machine is booted in the docking station and then suspended and resumed and suspended again. If that happens, pnpacpi_build_resource_template() called from pnpacpi_set_resources() attempts to use that pointer and crashes. However, pnpacpi_set_resources() actually checks the device's ACPI handle, attempts to find the ACPI device node object attached to it and returns an error code if that fails, so in fact it knows what the correct value of dev->data should be. Use this observation to update dev->data with the correct value if necessary and dump a call trace if that's the case (once). We still need to fix the root cause of this issue, but preventing systems from crashing because of it is an improvement too.

ACPI / battery: Correct battery capacity values on Thinkpads

2012-12-17T18:49:04Z

commit 4000e626156935dfb626321ce09cae2c833eabbb upstream. Add a quirk to correctly report battery capacity on 2010 and 2011 Lenovo Thinkpad models. The affected models that I tested (x201, t410, t410s, and x220) exhibit a problem where, when battery capacity reporting unit is mAh, the values being reported are wrong. Pre-2010 and 2012 models appear to always report in mWh and are thus unaffected. Also, in mid-2012 Lenovo issued a BIOS update for the 2011 models that fixes the issue (tested on x220 with a post-1.29 BIOS). No such update is available for the 2010 models, so those still need this patch. Problem description: for some reason, the affected Thinkpads switch the reporting unit between mAh and mWh; generally, mAh is used when a laptop is plugged in and mWh when it's unplugged, although a suspend/resume or rmmod/modprobe is needed for the switch to take effect. The values reported in mAh are *always* wrong. This does not appear to be a kernel regression; I believe that the values were never reported correctly. I tested back to kernel 2.6.34, with multiple machines and BIOS versions. Simply plugging a laptop into mains before turning it on is enough to reproduce the problem. Here's a sample /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info from Thinkpad x220 (before a BIOS update) with a 4-cell battery: present: yes design capacity: 2886 mAh last full capacity: 2909 mAh battery technology: rechargeable design voltage: 14800 mV design capacity warning: 145 mAh design capacity low: 13 mAh cycle count: 0 capacity granularity 1: 1 mAh capacity granularity 2: 1 mAh model number: 42T4899 serial number: 21064 battery type: LION OEM info: SANYO Once the laptop switches the unit to mWh (unplug from mains, suspend, resume), the output changes to: present: yes design capacity: 28860 mWh last full capacity: 29090 mWh battery technology: rechargeable design voltage: 14800 mV design capacity warning: 1454 mWh design capacity low: 200 mWh cycle count: 0 capacity granularity 1: 1 mWh capacity granularity 2: 1 mWh model number: 42T4899 serial number: 21064 battery type: LION OEM info: SANYO Can you see how the values for "design capacity", etc., differ by a factor of 10 instead of 14.8 (the design voltage of this battery)? On the battery itself it says: 14.8V, 1.95Ah, 29Wh, so clearly the values reported in mWh are correct and the ones in mAh are not. My guess is that this problem has been around ever since those machines were released, but because the most common Thinkpad batteries are rated at 10.8V, the error (8%) is small enough that it simply hasn't been noticed or at least nobody could be bothered to look into it. My patch works around the problem by adjusting the incorrectly reported mAh values by "10000 / design_voltage". The patch also has code to figure out if it should be activated or not. It only activates on Lenovo Thinkpads, only when the unit is mAh, and, as an extra precaution, only when the battery capacity reported through ACPI does not match what is reported through DMI (I've never encountered a machine where the first two conditions would be true but the last would not, but better safe than sorry). I've been using this patch for close to a year on several systems without any problems.

USB: mark uas driver as BROKEN

commit fb37ef98015f864d22be223a0e0d93547cd1d4ef upstream. As reported https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51031, the UAS driver causes problems and has been asked to be not built into any of the major distributions. To prevent users from running into problems with it, and for distros that were not notified, just mark the whole thing as broken. Acked-by: Sarah Sharp Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
