2010-04-07frv: fix kernel/user segment handling in NOMMU modeDavid Howells
In NOMMU mode, the FRV segment handling is broken because KERNEL_DS == USER_DS. This causes tests of the following sort: /* don't pin down non-user-based iovecs */ if (segment_eq(get_fs(), KERNEL_DS)) return NULL; to malfunction. To fix this, make USER_DS the top of RAM instead of the top of the non-IO address space, and make KERNEL_DS one more than the top of the non-IO address space. Also get rid of FRV's __addr_ok() as nothing uses it.

2010-04-07microblaze: Fix ftrace_update_ftrace_func panicSteven J. Magnani
The Microblaze dynamic ftrace code assumes a call ordering that is not met in all scenarios. Specifically, executing a command similar to: echo 105 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_pid before any other tracing-related commands results in a kernel panic: BUG: failure at arch/microblaze/kernel/ftrace.c:198/ftrace_update_ftrace_func()! Recoding ftrace_update_ftrace_func() to use &ftrace_caller directly eliminates the need to capture its address elsewhere (and thus rely on a particular call sequence). Signed-off-by: Steven J.

2010-04-05davinci: edma: clear events in edma_start()Brian Niebuhr
This patch fixes an issue where a DMA channel can erroneously process an event generated by a previous transfer. A failure case is where DMA is being used for SPI transmit and receive channels on OMAP L138. In this case there is a single bit that controls all event generation from the SPI peripheral. Therefore it is possible that between when edma_stop() has been called for the transmit channel on a previous transfer and edma_start() is called for the transmit channel on a subsequent transfer, that a transmit event has been generated. The fix is to clear events in edma_start(). This prevents false events from being processed when events are enabled for that channel.

2010-04-05davinci: timers: don't enable timer until clocksource is initializedKevin Hilman
On da830, when the same timer is used for clocksource and clockevent, the timer can be started before the clockevent is registered/initialzed. This creates a window where a timer interrupt might fire before the clockevent handler has been setup and causes a crash. This patch moves the actual enable/start of the timer after the clockevent has ben registered. Signed-off-by: Kevin Hilman <khilman@deeprootsystems.com>

2010-04-02x86: Fix double enable_IR_x2apic() call on SMP kernel on !SMP boardsSuresh Siddha
Jan Grossmann reported kernel boot panic while booting SMP kernel on his system with a single core cpu. SMP kernels call enable_IR_x2apic() from native_smp_prepare_cpus() and on platforms where the kernel doesn't find SMP configuration we ended up again calling enable_IR_x2apic() from the APIC_init_uniprocessor() call in the smp_sanity_check(). Thus leading to kernel panic. Don't call enable_IR_x2apic() and default_setup_apic_routing() from APIC_init_uniprocessor() in CONFIG_SMP case. NOTE: this kind of non-idempotent and assymetric initialization sequence is rather fragile and unclean, we'll clean that up in v2.6.35. This is the minimal fix for v2.6.34.

2010-04-02perf, x86: Fix callgraphs of 32-bit processes on 64-bit kernelsTorok Edwin
When profiling a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel, callgraph tracing stopped after the first function, because it has seen a garbage memory address (tried to interpret the frame pointer, and return address as a 64-bit pointer). Fix this by using a struct stack_frame with 32-bit pointers when the TIF_IA32 flag is set. Note that TIF_IA32 flag must be used, and not is_compat_task(), because the latter is only set when the 32-bit process is executing a syscall, which may not always be the case (when tracing page fault events for example).

2010-04-02perf, x86: Fix AMD hotplug & constraint initializationPeter Zijlstra
Commit 3f6da39 ("perf: Rework and fix the arch CPU-hotplug hooks") moved the amd northbridge allocation from CPUS_ONLINE to CPUS_PREPARE_UP however amd_nb_id() doesn't work yet on prepare so it would simply bail basically reverting to a state where we do not properly track node wide constraints - causing weird perf results. Fix up the AMD NorthBridge initialization code by allocating from CPU_UP_PREPARE and installing it from CPU_STARTING once we have the proper nb_id. It also properly deals with the allocation failing.

2010-04-01x86, hpet: Fix bug in RTC emulationAlok Kataria
We think there exists a bug in the HPET code that emulates the RTC. In the normal case, when the RTC frequency is set, the rtc driver tells the hpet code about it here: int hpet_set_periodic_freq(unsigned long freq) { uint64_t clc; if (!is_hpet_enabled()) return 0; if (freq <= DEFAULT_RTC_INT_FREQ) hpet_pie_limit = DEFAULT_RTC_INT_FREQ / freq; else { clc = (uint64_t) hpet_clockevent.mult * NSEC_PER_SEC; do_div(clc, freq); clc >>= hpet_clockevent.shift; hpet_pie_delta = (unsigned long) clc; } return 1; } If freq is set to 64Hz (DEFAULT_RTC_INT_FREQ) or lower, then hpet_pie_limit (a static) is set to non-zero. Then, on every one-shot HPET interrupt, hpet_rtc_timer_reinit is called to compute the next timeout. Well, that function has this logic: if (!(hpet_rtc_flags & RTC_PIE) || hpet_pie_limit) delta = hpet_default_delta; else delta = hpet_pie_delta; Since hpet_pie_limit is not 0, hpet_default_delta is used. That corresponds to 64Hz. Now, if you set a different rtc frequency, you'll take the else path through hpet_set_periodic_freq, but unfortunately no one resets hpet_pie_limit back to 0. Boom....now you are stuck with 64Hz RTC interrupts forever. The patch below just resets the hpet_pie_limit value when requested freq is greater than DEFAULT_RTC_INT_FREQ, which we think fixes this problem.

This is a chipset erratum. Thomas: You mentioned we can retain this check only for known-buggy and hpet debug kind of options. But here is the simple workaround patch for this particular erratum. Some chipsets have a erratum due to which read immediately following a write of HPET comparator returns old comparator value instead of most recently written value. Erratum 15 in "Intel I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Specification Update" (http://www.intel.com/assets/pdf/specupdate/316973.pdf) Workaround for the errata is to read the comparator twice if the first one fails.

2010-04-01x86: Handle overlapping mptablesAndi Kleen
We found a system where the MP table MPC and MPF structures overlap. That doesn't really matter because the mptable is not used anyways with ACPI, but it leads to a panic in the early allocator due to the overlapping reservations in 2.6.33. Earlier kernels handled this without problems. Simply change these reservations to reserve_early_overlap_ok to avoid the panic.
