* tty_register_driver: only allocate tty instances when definedAndy Whitcroft2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | If device->num is zero we attempt to kmalloc() zero bytes. When SLUB is enabled this returns a null pointer and take that as an allocation failure and fail the device register. Check for no devices and avoid the allocation.

* Introduce CONFIG_HAS_DMAHeiko Carstens2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Architectures that don't support DMA can say so by adding a config NO_DMA to their Kconfig file. This will prevent compilation of some dma specific driver code. Also dma-mapping-broken.h isn't needed anymore on at least s390. This avoids compilation and linking of otherwise dead/broken code. Other architectures that include dma-mapping-broken.h are arm26, h8300, m68k, m68knommu and v850. If these could be converted as well we could get rid of the header file.

* mm: make read_cache_page synchronousNick Piggin2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls. I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7 possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in block2mtd. All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return with a !uptodate page.

* MPSC serial driver tx lockingDave Jiang2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The MPSC serial driver assumes that interrupt is always on to pick up the DMA transmit ops that aren't submitted while the DMA engine is active. However when irqs are off for a period of time such as operations under kernel crash dump console messages do not show up due to additional DMA ops are being dropped. This makes console writes to process through all the tx DMAs queued up before submitting a new request. Also, the current locking mechanism does not protect the hardware registers and ring buffer when a printk is done during the serial write operations. The additional per port transmit lock provides a finer granular locking and protects registers being clobbered while printks are nested within UART writes.

* serial: define FIXED_PORT flag for serial_coreDavid Gibson2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At present, the serial core always allows setserial in userspace to change the port address, irq and base clock of any serial port. That makes sense for legacy ISA ports, but not for (say) embedded ns16550 compatible serial ports at peculiar addresses. In these cases, the kernel code configuring the ports must know exactly where they are, and their clocking arrangements (which can be unusual on embedded boards). It doesn't make sense for userspace to change these settings. Therefore, this patch defines a UPF_FIXED_PORT flag for the uart_port structure. If this flag is set when the serial port is configured, any attempts to alter the port's type, io address, irq or base clock with setserial are ignored. In addition this patch uses the new flag for on-chip serial ports probed in arch/powerpc/kernel/legacy_serial.c, and for other hard-wired serial ports probed by drivers/serial/of_serial.c.

* serial driver PMC MSP71xxMarc St-Jean2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Serial driver patch for the PMC-Sierra MSP71xx devices. There are three different fixes: 1 Fix for DesignWare APB THRE errata: In brief, this is a non-standard 16550 in that the THRE interrupt will not re-assert itself simply by disabling and re-enabling the THRI bit in the IER, it is only re-enabled if a character is actually sent out. It appears that the "8250-uart-backup-timer.patch" in the "mm" tree also fixes it so we have dropped our initial workaround. This patch now needs to be applied on top of that "mm" patch. 2 Fix for Busy Detect on LCR write: The DesignWare APB UART has a feature which causes a new Busy Detect interrupt to be generated if it's busy when the LCR is written. This fix saves the value of the LCR and rewrites it after clearing the interrupt. 3 Workaround for interrupt/data concurrency issue: The SoC needs to ensure that writes that can cause interrupts to be cleared reach the UART before returning from the ISR. This fix reads a non-destructive register on the UART so the read transaction completion ensures the previously queued write transaction has also completed.

* add new_id to PCMCIA driversBernhard Walle2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PCI drivers have the new_id file in sysfs which allows new IDs to be added at runtime. The advantage is to avoid re-compilation of a driver that works for a new device, but it's ID table doesn't contain the new device. This mechanism is only meant for testing, after the driver has been tested successfully, the ID should be added in source code so that new revisions of the kernel automatically detect the device. The implementation follows the PCI implementation. The interface is documented in Documentation/pcmcia/driver.txt. Computations should be done in userspace, so the sysfs string contains the raw structure members for matching.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When emulating an mmio read, we actually emulate twice: once to determine the physical address of the mmio, and, after we've exited to userspace to get the mmio value, we emulate again to place the value in the result register and update any flags. But we don't really need to enter the guest again for that, only to take an immediate vmexit. So, if we detect that we're doing an mmio read, emulate a single instruction before entering the guest again. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

| * | KVM: Handle guest page faults when emulating mmioAvi Kivity2007-05-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Usually, guest page faults are detected by the kvm page fault handler, which detects if they are shadow faults, mmio faults, pagetable faults, or normal guest page faults. However, in ceratin circumstances, we can detect a page fault much later. One of these events is the following combination: - A two memory operand instruction (e.g. movsb) is executed. - The first operand is in mmio space (which is the fault reported to kvm) - The second operand is in an ummaped address (e.g. a guest page fault) The Windows 2000 installer does such an access, an promptly hangs. Fix by adding the missing page fault injection on that path. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

| * | KVM: x86 emulator: fix bit string operations operand sizeAvi Kivity2007-05-03

For example, 'btsl %eax, (blah)' will touch the word at blah+4 if %eax is between 32 and 63. The x86 emulator compensates for that by advancing the operand address by (bit offset / BITS_PER_LONG) and truncating the bit offset to the range (0..BITS_PER_LONG-1). This has a side effect of forcing the operand size to 8 bytes on 64-bit hosts. Now, a 32-bit guest goes and fork()s a process. It write protects a stack page at 0xbffff000 using the 'btr' instruction, at offset 0xffc in the page table, with bit offset 1 (for the write permission bit). The emulator now forces the operand size to 8 bytes as previously described, and an innocent page table update turns into a cross-page-boundary write, which is assumed by the mmu code not to be a page table, so it doesn't actually clear the corresponding shadow page table entry. The guest and host permissions are out of sync and guest memory is corrupted soon afterwards, leading to guest failure. Fix by not using BITS_PER_LONG as the word size; instead use the actual operand size, so we get a 32-bit write in that case. Note we still have to teach the mmu to handle cross-page-boundary writes to guest page table; but for now this allows Damn Small Linux 0.4 (2.4.20) to boot.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a vcpu is migrated from one cpu to another, its timestamp counter may lose its monotonic property if the host has unsynced timestamp counters. This can confuse the guest, sometimes to the point of refusing to boot. As the rdtsc instruction is rather fast on AMD processors (7-10 cycles), we can simply record the last host tsc when we drop the cpu, and adjust the vcpu tsc offset when we detect that we've migrated to a different cpu.

| * | KVM: MMU: Fix hugepage pdes mapping same physical address with different accessAvi Kivity2007-05-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kvm mmu keeps a shadow page for hugepage pdes; if several such pdes map the same physical address, they share the same shadow page. This is a fairly common case (kernel mappings on i386 nonpae Linux, for example). However, if the two pdes map the same memory but with different permissions, kvm will happily use the cached shadow page. If the access through the more permissive pde will occur after the access to the strict pde, an endless pagefault loop will be generated and the guest will make no progress. Fix by making the access permissions part of the cache lookup key. The fix allows Xen pae to boot on kvm and run guest domains. Thanks to Jeremy Fitzhardinge for reporting the bug and testing the fix. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
| * | KVM: SVM: forbid guest to execute monitor/mwaitJoerg Roedel2007-05-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch forbids the guest to execute monitor/mwait instructions on SVM. This is necessary because the guest can execute these instructions if they are available even if the kvm cpuid doesn't report its existence.
