* CRIS v10: vmlinux.lds.S: ix kernel oops on boot and use common definesJesper Nilsson2008-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Move alignment to page size of init data outside ifdef for BLK_DEV_INITRD. The reservation up to page size of memory after init data was previously not done if BLK_DEV_INITRD was undefined. This caused a kernel oops when init memory pages were freed after startup, data placed in the same page as the last init memory would also be freed and reused, with disastrous results. - Use macros for initcalls and .text sections. - Replace hardcoded page size constant with PAGE_SIZE define. - Change include/asm-cris/page.h to use the _AC macro to instead of testing __ASSEMBLY__.

* lockdep: fix workqueue creation API lockdep interactionJohannes Berg2008-01-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dave Young reported warnings from lockdep that the workqueue API can sometimes try to register lockdep classes with the same key but different names. This is not permitted in lockdep. Unfortunately, I was unaware of that restriction when I wrote the code to debug workqueue problems with lockdep and used the workqueue name as the lockdep class name. This can obviously lead to the problem if the workqueue name is dynamic. This patch solves the problem by always using a constant name for the workqueue's lockdep class, namely either the constant name that was passed in or a string consisting of the variable name.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 473980a99316c0e788bca50996375a2815124ce1 added a call to clear the SLB shadow buffer before registering it. Unfortunately this means that we clear out the entries that slb_initialize has previously set in there. On POWER6, the hypervisor uses the SLB shadow buffer when doing partition switches, and that means that after the next partition switch, each non-boot CPU has no SLB entries to map the kernel text and data, which causes it to crash. This fixes it by reverting most of 473980a9 and instead clearing the 3rd entry explicitly in slb_initialize. This fixes the problem that 473980a9 was trying to solve, but without breaking POWER6.

But pm_active was recently moved under CONFIG_PM_LEGACY, so that without CONFIG_PM_LEGACY, pm_active became a NOP -- allowing ACPI and APM to both be simultaneously enabled. This caused unpredictable results, including boot hangs. Further, the code under CONFIG_PM_LEGACY is scheduled for removal. So replace pm_active with pm_flags. pm_flags depends only on CONFIG_PM, which is present for both CONFIG_APM and CONFIG_ACPI. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9194 Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

If the function had not been there, it would have been much more obvious to the eye that those patches were changing the behavior. We don't need this function. In task_state, the pid of the ptracer is not the ppid of the ptracer. In do_task_stat, ppid is the tgid of the real_parent, not its pid. I also moved the call outside of lock_task_sighand, since it doesn't need it. In sys_getppid, ppid is the tgid of the real_parent, not its pid.

Unfortunately, at present this field is not preserved across a skb clone operation which can lead to garbage values if the cloned skb is sent back through the network stack. This patch corrects this problem by properly copying the 'iif' field in __skb_clone() and removing the 'iif' field assignment from skb_act_clone() since it is no longer needed. Also, while we are here, put the assignments in the same order as the offsets to reduce cacheline bounces. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This sets up infrastructure such that net_rx_action() can generically break out of the ->poll() loop on a NAPI context that has a pending napi_disable() yet is being bombed with packets (and thus would otherwise poll endlessly and not allow the napi_disable() to finish). Now, what napi_disable() does is first set the NAPI_STATE_DISABLE bit (to indicate that a disable is pending), then it polls for the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit, and once the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit is acquired the NAPI_STATE_DISABLE bit is cleared. Here, the test_and_set_bit() provides the necessary memory barrier between the various bitops. napi_schedule_prep() now tests for a pending disable as it's first action and won't try to obtain the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit if a disable is pending. As a result, we can remove the netif_running() check in netif_rx_schedule_prep() because the NAPI disable pending state serves this purpose. And, it does so in a NAPI centric manner which is what we really want. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The main impetus behind this is that now we can legally do a NAPI completion in generic code like net_rx_action() which a following changeset needs to do. net_rx_action() can only perform actions in NAPI centric ways, because there may be a one to many mapping between NAPI contexts and network devices (SKY2 is one example). We also want to get rid of this because it's an extra atomic in the NAPI paths, and also because it is one of the last instances where the NAPI interfaces care about net devices. The one remaining netdev detail the NAPI stuff cares about is the netif_running() check which will be killed off in a subsequent changeset. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This opened up the possibility to add the non-initialized sysdev device of the secondary core: cpufreq-core: trying to register driver powernow-k8 cpufreq-core: adding CPU 0 powernow-k8: BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI _PSS objects cpufreq-core: initialization failed cpufreq-core: adding CPU 1 cpufreq-core: initialization failed which then blew up. The fix is to make cpu_is_offline() always the negation of cpu_online(). With that fix applied the kernel boots up fine without crashing: Calling initcall 0xffffffff80cc0510: powernowk8_init+0x0/0x94() powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ processors (1 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00) powernow-k8: BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI _PSS objects initcall 0xffffffff80cc0510: powernowk8_init+0x0/0x94() returned -19. initcall 0xffffffff80cc0510 ran for 19 msecs: powernowk8_init+0x0/0x94() Calling initcall 0xffffffff80cc328f: init_lapic_nmi_sysfs+0x0/0x39() We could fix this by making CPU enumeration aware of max_cpus, but that would be more fragile IMO, and the cpu_online(cpu) != cpu_is_offline(cpu) possibility was quite confusing and a continuous source of bugs too. Most distributions have kernels with CPU hotplug enabled, so this bug remained hidden for a long time. Bug forensics: The broken cpu_is_offline() API variant was introduced via: commit a59d2e4e6977e7b94e003c96a41f07e96cddc340 Author: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Date: Mon Mar 8 06:06:03 2004 -0800 [PATCH] minor cleanups for hotplug CPUs ( this predates linux-2.6.git, this commit is available from Thomas's historic git tree. ) Then 1.5 years later the cpufreq code made use of it: commit c32b6b8e524d2c337767d312814484d9289550cf Author: Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@intel.com> Date: Sun Oct 30 14:59:54 2005 -0800 [PATCH] create and destroy cpufreq sysfs entries based on cpu notifiers + if (cpu_is_offline(cpu)) + return 0; which is a correct use of the subtly broken new API. v2.6.15 then shipped with this bug included. then it took two more years for random-kernel qa to hit it.

It turns out that the bug that was triggered by that commit was apparently not actually triggered by that commit at all, and just the testing conditions had changed enough to make it appear to be due to it. The real problem seems to have been found by Peter Osterlund: "pktcdvd sets it [block device size] when opening the /dev/pktcdvd device, but when the drive is later opened as /dev/scd0, there is nothing that sets it back. (Btw, 40944 is possible if the disk is a CDRW that was formatted with "cdrwtool -m 10236".) The problem is that pktcdvd opens the cd device in non-blocking mode when pktsetup is run, and doesn't close it again until pktsetup -d is run. The effect is that if you meanwhile open the cd device, blkdev.c:do_open() doesn't call bd_set_size() because bdev->bd_openers is non-zero." In particular, to repeat the bug (regardless of whether commit 6f5391c283d7fdcf24bf40786ea79061919d1e1d is applied or not): " 1. Start with an empty drive. 2. pktsetup 0 /dev/scd0 3. Insert a CD containing an isofs filesystem. 4. mount /dev/pktcdvd/0 /mnt/tmp 5. umount /mnt/tmp 6. Press the eject button. 7. Insert a DVD containing a non-writable filesystem. 8. mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/tmp 9. find /mnt/tmp -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sha1sum >/dev/null 10. If the DVD contains data beyond the physical size of a CD, you get I/O errors in the terminal, and dmesg reports lots of "attempt to access beyond end of device" errors." which in turn is because the nested open after the media change won't cause the size to be set properly (because the original open still holds the block device, and we only do the bd_set_size() when we don't have other people holding the device open). The proper fix for that is probably to just do something like bdev->bd_inode->i_size = (loff_t)get_capacity(disk)<<9; in fs/block_dev.c:do_open() even for the cases where we're not the original opener (but *not* call bd_set_size(), since that will also change the block size of the device).
