Commit d015fe99 'powerpc/cell/axon-msi: Retry on missing interrupt' has turned a rare failure to kexec on QS22 into a reproducible error, which we have now analysed. The problem is that after a kexec, the MSIC hardware still points into the middle of the old ring buffer. We set up the ring buffer during reboot, but not the offset into it. On older kernels, this would cause a storm of thousands of spurious interrupts after a kexec, which would most of the time get dropped silently. With the new code, we time out on each interrupt, waiting for it to become valid. If more interrupts come in that we time out on, this goes on indefinitely, which eventually leads to a hard crash. The solution in this commit is to read the current offset from the MSIC when reinitializing it. This now works correctly, as expected.

careful_allocation() was calling into the bootmem allocator for nodes which had not been fully initialized and caused a previous bug: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/10528/ So, I merged a few broken out loops in do_init_bootmem() to fix it. That changed the code ordering. I think this bug is triggered by having reserved areas for a node which are spanned by another node's contents. In the mark_reserved_regions_for_nid() code, we attempt to reserve the area for a node before we have allocated the NODE_DATA() for that nid. We do this since I reordered that loop. I suck. This is causing crashes at bootup on some systems, as reported by Jon Tollefson. This may only present on some systems that have 16GB pages reserved. But, it can probably happen on any system that is trying to reserve large swaths of memory that happen to span other nodes' contents. This commit ensures that we do not touch bootmem for any node which has not been initialized, and also removes a compile warning about an unused variable.

It looks like most of the hugetlb code is doing the correct thing if hugepages are not supported, but the mmap code is not. If we get into the mmap code when hugepages are not supported, such as in an LPAR which is running Active Memory Sharing, we can oops the kernel. This fixes the oops being seen in this path. oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] SMP NR_CPUS=1024 NUMA pSeries Modules linked in: nfs(N) lockd(N) nfs_acl(N) sunrpc(N) ipv6(N) fuse(N) loop(N) dm_mod(N) sg(N) ibmveth(N) sd_mod(N) crc_t10dif(N) ibmvscsic(N) scsi_transport_srp(N) scsi_tgt(N) scsi_mod(N) Supported: No NIP: c000000000038d60 LR: c00000000003945c CTR: c0000000000393f0 REGS: c000000077e7b830 TRAP: 0300 Tainted: G (2.6.27.5-bz50170-2-ppc64) MSR: 8000000000009032 <EE,ME,IR,DR> CR: 44000448 XER: 20000001 DAR: c000002000af90a8, DSISR: 0000000040000000 TASK = c00000007c1b8600[4019] 'hugemmap01' THREAD: c000000077e78000 CPU: 6 GPR00: 0000001fffffffe0 c000000077e7bab0 c0000000009a4e78 0000000000000000 GPR04: 0000000000010000 0000000000000001 00000000ffffffff 0000000000000001 GPR08: 0000000000000000 c000000000af90c8 0000000000000001 0000000000000000 GPR12: 000000000000003f c000000000a73880 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 GPR16: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000010000 GPR20: 0000000000000000 0000000000000003 0000000000010000 0000000000000001 GPR24: 0000000000000003 0000000000000000 0000000000000001 ffffffffffffffb5 GPR28: c000000077ca2e80 0000000000000000 c00000000092af78 0000000000010000 NIP [c000000000038d60] .slice_get_unmapped_area+0x6c/0x4e0 LR [c00000000003945c] .hugetlb_get_unmapped_area+0x6c/0x80 Call Trace: [c000000077e7bbc0] [c00000000003945c] .hugetlb_get_unmapped_area+0x6c/0x80 [c000000077e7bc30] [c000000000107e30] .get_unmapped_area+0x64/0xd8 [c000000077e7bcb0] [c00000000010b140] .do_mmap_pgoff+0x140/0x420 [c000000077e7bd80] [c00000000000bf5c] .sys_mmap+0xc4/0x140 [c000000077e7be30] [c0000000000086b4] syscall_exit+0x0/0x40 Instruction dump: fac1ffb0 fae1ffb8 fb01ffc0 fb21ffc8 fb41ffd0 fb61ffd8 fb81ffe0 fbc1fff0 fbe1fff8 f821fef1 f8c10158 f8e10160 <7d49002e> f9010168 e92d01b0 eb4902b0 Signed-off-by: Brian King <brking@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

We were missing the CPU_FTR_NOEXECUTE bit in our cputable for all these processors. The result is that update_mmu_cache() would flush the cache for all pages mapped to userspace which is totally unnecessary on those processors since we already handle flushing on execute in the page fault path.

VMI initialiation can relocate the fixmap, causing early_ioremap to malfunction if it is initialized before the relocation. To fix this, VMI activation is split into two phases; the detection, which must happen before setting up ioremap, and the activation, which must happen after parsing early boot parameters. This fixes a crash on boot when VMI is enabled under VMware. Signed-off-by: Zachary Amsden <zach@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

An example calling sequence which we did see: copy_user_highpage -> kmap_atomic -> flush_tlb_page -> _tlbil_va We got interrupted after setting up the MAS registers before the tlbwe and the interrupt handler that caused the interrupt also did a kmap_atomic (ide code) and thus on returning from the interrupt the MAS registers no longer contained the proper values. Since we dont save/restore MAS registers for normal interrupts we need to disable interrupts in _tlbil_va to ensure atomicity. Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>

For the console, there is a 1:1 mapping of glyphs which cannot be found in the current font. This seems to be meant as a kind of 'emergency fallback' for fonts without unicode mapping which otherwise would display nothing readable on the screen. At the moment it affects all chars for which no substitution character is defined. In particular this means that for all chars (>= 128) where there is no iso88591-1/unicode character (e.g. control character area) you'll get the very strange 1:1 mapping of the (cp437) graphics card glyphs. I'm pretty sure that the 1:1 mapping should only affect strict ASCII code characters, i.e. chars < 128. The patch limits the mapping as it probably was meant anyway.

There is a major bug in the cp437 to unicode translation table. Char 0x7c is mapped to U+00a5 which is the Yen sign and wrong. The right mapping is U+00a6 (broken bar). Furthermore, a mapping for U+00b4 (a widely used character) is missing even though easily possible. The patch fixes these, as well as it provides a few other useful mappings. The changes are as follows: 0x0f (enhancement) enables a sort of currency symbol 0x27 (bug) enables a sort of acute accent which is a widely used character 0x44 (enhancement) enables a sort of icelandic capital letter eth 0x7c (major bug) corrects mapping 0xeb (enhancement) enables a sort of icelandic small letter eth 0xee (enhancement) enables a sort of math 'element of' Signed-off-by: Ingo Brueckl <ib@wupperonline.de> Acked-by: H.

Lee Schermerhorn noticed yesterday that I broke the mapping_writably_mapped test in 2.6.7! Bad bad bug, good good find. The i_mmap_writable count must be incremented for VM_SHARED (just as i_writecount is for VM_DENYWRITE, but while holding the i_mmap_lock) when dup_mmap() copies the vma for fork: it has its own more optimal version of __vma_link_file(), and I missed this out. So the count was later going down to 0 (dangerous) when one end unmapped, then wrapping negative (inefficient) when the other end unmapped. The only impact on x86 would have been that setting a mandatory lock on a file which has at some time been opened O_RDWR and mapped MAP_SHARED (but not necessarily PROT_WRITE) across a fork, might fail with -EAGAIN when it should succeed, or succeed when it should fail. But those architectures which rely on flush_dcache_page() to flush userspace modifications back into the page before the kernel reads it, may in some cases have skipped the flush after such a fork - though any repetitive test will soon wrap the count negative, in which case it will flush_dcache_page() unnecessarily. Fix would be a two-liner, but mapping variable added, and comment moved.

Discard low-prioriy Tx interrupts when closing an MN10300 on-chip serial port. The MN10300 on-chip serial port uses three interrupts to manage its serial ports: (1) A very high priority interrupt that drives virtual DMA for Rx. (2) A very high priority interrupt that drives virtual DMA for Tx. (3) A normal priority virtual interrupt that does the normal UART interrupt stuff and is shared between Rx and Tx. mn10300_serial_stop_tx() only disables the high priority Tx interrupt. It doesn't also disable the normal priority one because it is shared with Rx. However, the high priority interrupt may interrupt local_irq_disabled() sections, and so may have queued up a low priority virtual interrupt whilst the UART driver is asking for the Tx interrupt to be disabled. The result of this can be an oops when we try to process the interrupt in mn10300_serial_transmit_interrupt() as port->uart.info and port->uart.info->tty may have gone away. To deal with this, if either of those pointers is NULL, we make sure the high-priority Tx interrupt is disabled and discard the interrupt. The low priority interrupt is disabled by the mn10300_serial_pic irq_chip table.

The pktcdvd created class devices only export some sysfs files, but have no char dev_t registered in the driver. At class device creation time they copy the dev_t value of the block device to the char device, wich will register a new char device in the driver core and userspace, with a conflicting dev_t value. In many cases the class devices dev_t just points to a random USB device. This fixes the sysfs "duplicate entry" errors.
