random32: avoid attempt to late reseed if in the middle of seeding

2014-03-28T20:04:19Z

Commit 4af712e8df ("random32: add prandom_reseed_late() and call when nonblocking pool becomes initialized") has added a late reseed stage that happens as soon as the nonblocking pool is marked as initialized. This fails in the case that the nonblocking pool gets initialized during __prandom_reseed()'s call to get_random_bytes(). In that case we'd double back into __prandom_reseed() in an attempt to do a late reseed - deadlocking on 'lock' early on in the boot process. Instead, just avoid even waiting to do a reseed if a reseed is already occuring.

dma debug: account for cachelines and read-only mappings in overlap tracking

2014-03-04T15:55:47Z

While debug_dma_assert_idle() checks if a given *page* is actively undergoing dma the valid granularity of a dma mapping is a *cacheline*. Sander's testing shows that the warning message "DMA-API: exceeded 7 overlapping mappings of pfn..." is falsely triggering. The test is simply mapping multiple cachelines in a given page. Ultimately we want overlap tracking to be valid as it is a real api violation, so we need to track active mappings by cachelines. Update the active dma tracking to use the page-frame-relative cacheline of the mapping as the key, and update debug_dma_assert_idle() to check for all possible mapped cachelines for a given page. However, the need to track active mappings is only relevant when the dma-mapping is writable by the device. In fact it is fairly standard for read-only mappings to have hundreds or thousands of overlapping mappings at once. Limiting the overlap tracking to writable (!DMA_TO_DEVICE) eliminates this class of false-positive overlap reports. Note, the radix gang lookup is sub-optimal. It would be best if it stopped fetching entries once the search passed a page boundary. Nevertheless, this implementation does not perturb the original net_dma failing case. That is to say the extra overhead does not show up in terms of making the failing case pass due to a timing change.

x86, hweight: Fix BUG when booting with CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y

2014-02-06T15:15:20Z

Commit d61931d89b, "x86: Add optimized popcnt variants" introduced compile flag -fcall-saved-rdi for lib/hweight.c. When combined with options -fprofile-arcs and -O2, this flag causes gcc to generate broken constructor code. As a result, a 64 bit x86 kernel compiled with CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y prints message "gcov: could not create file" and runs into sproadic BUGs during boot. The gcc people indicate that these kinds of problems are endemic when using ad hoc calling conventions. It is therefore best to treat any file compiled with ad hoc calling conventions as an isolated environment and avoid things like profiling or coverage analysis, since those subsystems assume a "normal" calling conventions. This patch avoids the bug by excluding lib/hweight.o from coverage profiling.

kbuild: don't enable DEBUG_INFO when building for COMPILE_TEST

2014-02-04T20:20:01Z

It really isn't very interesting to have DEBUG_INFO when doing compile coverage stuff (you wouldn't want to run the result anyway, that's kind of the whole point of COMPILE_TEST), and it currently makes the build take longer and use much more disk space for "all{yes,mod}config". There's somewhat active discussion about this still, and we might end up with some new config option for things like this (Andi points out that the silly X86_DECODER_SELFTEST option also slows down the normal coverage tests hugely), but I'm starting the ball rolling with this simple one-liner. DEBUG_INFO isn't that noticeable if you have tons of memory and a good IO subsystem, but it hurts you a lot if you don't - for very little upside for the common use. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

parisc/sti_console: prefer Linux fonts over built-in ROM fonts

2014-02-02T19:56:47Z

The built-in ROM fonts lack many necessary ASCII characters, which is why it makes sens to prefer the Linux fonts instead if they are available. This makes consoles on STI graphics cards which are not supported by the stifb driver (e.g. Visualize FXe) looks much nicer. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v3.13
