x86: Remove the ancient and deprecated disable_hlt() and enable_hlt() facility

2012-11-05T08:44:26Z

commit f6365201d8a21fb347260f89d6e9b3e718d63c70 upstream. The X86_32-only disable_hlt/enable_hlt mechanism was used by the 32-bit floppy driver. Its effect was to replace the use of the HLT instruction inside default_idle() with cpu_relax() - essentially it turned off the use of HLT. This workaround was commented in the code as: "disable hlt during certain critical i/o operations" "This halt magic was a workaround for ancient floppy DMA wreckage. It should be safe to remove." H. Peter Anvin additionally adds: "To the best of my knowledge, no-hlt only existed because of flaky power distributions on 386/486 systems which were sold to run DOS. Since DOS did no power management of any kind, including HLT, the power draw was fairly uniform; when exposed to the much hhigher noise levels you got when Linux used HLT caused some of these systems to fail. They were by far in the minority even back then." Alan Cox further says: "Also for the Cyrix 5510 which tended to go castors up if a HLT occurred during a DMA cycle and on a few other boxes HLT during DMA tended to go astray. Do we care ? I doubt it. The 5510 was pretty obscure, the 5520 fixed it, the 5530 is probably the oldest still in any kind of use." So, let's finally drop this.

floppy: do put_disk on current dr if blk_init_queue fails

2012-11-05T08:44:25Z

commit 238ab78469c6ab7845b43d5061cd3c92331b2452 upstream. If blk_init_queue fails, we do not call put_disk on the current dr (dr is decremented first in the error handling loop).

staging: comedi: amplc_pc236: fix invalid register access during detach

2012-10-31T16:51:42Z

commit aaeb61a97b7159ebe30b18a422d04eeabfa8790b upstream. `pc236_detach()` is called by the comedi core if it attempted to attach a device and failed. `pc236_detach()` calls `pc236_intr_disable()` if the comedi device private data pointer (`devpriv`) is non-null. This test is insufficient as `pc236_intr_disable()` accesses hardware registers and the attach routine may have failed before it has saved their I/O base addresses. Fix it by checking `dev->iobase` is non-zero before calling `pc236_intr_disable()` as that means the I/O base addresses have been saved and the hardware registers can be accessed. It also implies the comedi device private data pointer is valid, so there is no need to check it. Signed-off-by: Ian Abbott Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

cpufreq / powernow-k8: Remove usage of smp_processor_id() in preemptible code

xhci: Fix potential NULL ptr deref in command cancellation.

2012-10-31T16:51:36Z

commit 43a09f7fb01fa1e091416a2aa49b6c666458c1ee upstream. The command cancellation code doesn't check whether find_trb_seg() couldn't find the segment that contains the TRB to be canceled. This could cause a NULL pointer deference later in the function when next_trb is called. It's unlikely to happen unless something is wrong with the command ring pointers, so add some debugging in case it happens. This patch should be backported to stable kernels as old as 3.0, that contain the commit b63f4053cc8aa22a98e3f9a97845afe6c15d0a0d "xHCI: handle command after aborting the command ring".
