fbcon: fix race condition between console lock and cursor timer (v1.1)

2012-10-02T17:30:22Z

commit d8636a2717bb3da2a7ce2154bf08de90bb8c87b0 upstream. So we've had a fair few reports of fbcon handover breakage between efi/vesafb and i915 surface recently, so I dedicated a couple of days to finding the problem. Essentially the last thing we saw was the conflicting framebuffer message and that was all. So after much tracing with direct netconsole writes (printks under console_lock not so useful), I think I found the race. Thread A (driver load) Thread B (timer thread) unbind_con_driver -> | bind_con_driver -> | vc->vc_sw->con_deinit -> | fbcon_deinit -> | console_lock() | | | | fbcon_flashcursor timer fires | console_lock() <- blocked for A | | fbcon_del_cursor_timer -> del_timer_sync (BOOM) Of course because all of this is under the console lock, we never see anything, also since we also just unbound the active console guess what we never see anything. Hopefully this fixes the problem for anyone seeing vesafb->kms driver handoff. v1.1: add comment suggestion from Alan.

parisc: move definition of PAGE0 to asm/page.h

2012-05-10T22:12:08Z

This was defined in asm/pdc.h which needs to include asm/page.h for __PAGE_OFFSET. This leads to an include loop so that page.h eventually will include pdc.h again. While this is no problem because of header guards, it is a problem because some symbols may be undefined. Such an error is this: In file included from include/linux/bitops.h:35:0, from include/asm-generic/getorder.h:7, from arch/parisc/include/asm/page.h:162, from arch/parisc/include/asm/pdc.h:346, from arch/parisc/include/asm/processor.h:16, from arch/parisc/include/asm/spinlock.h:6, from arch/parisc/include/asm/atomic.h:20, from include/linux/atomic.h:4, from include/linux/sysfs.h:20, from include/linux/kobject.h:21, from include/linux/device.h:17, from include/linux/eisa.h:5, from arch/parisc/kernel/pci.c:11: arch/parisc/include/asm/bitops.h: In function ‘set_bit’: arch/parisc/include/asm/bitops.h:82:2: error: implicit declaration of function ‘_atomic_spin_lock_irqsave’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] arch/parisc/include/asm/bitops.h:84:2: error: implicit declaration of function ‘_atomic_spin_unlock_irqrestore’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] Signed-off-by: Rolf Eike Beer Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

MIPS: GIO bus support for SGI IP22/28

2011-12-07T22:03:44Z

SGI IP22/IP28 machines have GIO busses for adding graphics and other extension cards. This patch adds support for GIO driver/device handling and converts the newport console driver to a GIO driver.

Kconfig: remove a few puzzling comments

2011-10-31T09:58:48Z

These comments mention CONFIG options that do not exist: not as a symbol in a Kconfig file (without the CONFIG_ prefix) and neither as a symbol (with that prefix) in the code. There's one reference to XSCALE_PMU_TIMER as a negative dependency. But XSCALE_PMU_TIMER is never defined (CONFIG_XSCALE_PMU_TIMER is also unused in the code). It shows up with type "unknown" if you search for it in menuconfig. Apparently a negative dependency on an unknown symbol is always true. That negative dependency can be removed too.

locking, video: Annotate vga console lock as raw

2011-09-13T09:12:04Z

The vga_lock lock can be taken in atomic context and therefore cannot be preempted on -rt - annotate it. In mainline this change documents the low level nature of the lock - otherwise there's no functional difference. Lockdep and Sparse checking will work as usual.
