spin_lock() can hang if called while the timebase is frozen, so use a raw lock instead, also disable interrupts while at it. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Several platforms use their own copy of what is essentially the same code, using RTAS to synchronize the timebases when bringing up new CPUs. This moves it all into a single common implementation and additionally turns the spinlock into a raw spinlock since the former can rely on the timebase not being frozen when spinlock debugging is enabled, and finally masks interrupts while the timebase is disabled.

RTAS currently uses a normal spinlock. However it can be called from contexts where this is not necessarily a good idea. For example, it can be called while syncing timebases, with the core timebase being frozen. Unfortunately, that will deadlock in case of lock contention when spinlock debugging is enabled as the spin lock debugging code will try to use __delay() which ... relies on the timebase being enabled. Also RTAS can be used in some low level IRQ handling code path so it may as well be a raw spinlock for -rt sake. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Based on initial work from: Dale Farnsworth <dale@farnsworth.org> Add the low level irq tracing hooks for 32-bit powerpc needed to enable full lockdep functionality. The approach taken to deal with the code in entry_32.S is that we don't trace all the transitions of MSR:EE when we just turn it off to peek at TI_FLAGS without races. Only when we are calling into C code or returning from exceptions with a state that have changed from what lockdep thinks. There's a little bugger though: If we take an exception that keeps interrupts enabled (such as an alignment exception) while interrupts are enabled, we will call trace_hardirqs_on() on the way back spurriously. Not a big deal, but to get rid of it would require remembering in pt_regs that the exception was one of the type that kept interrupts enabled which we don't know at this stage. (Well, we could test all cases for regs->trap but that sucks too much). Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Tested-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>

Alright, I've reworked this now so that if we get one of these cases where there's a bsr that's > 4k and < 64k on a 64k kernel we'll only advertise that it is a 4k BSR to userspace. I think this is the best solution since user programs are only supposed to look at sysfs to determine how much can be mapped, and libbsr does this as well.

The 32-bit kernel relies on some memory being mapped covering the kernel text,data and bss at least, early during boot before the full MMU setup is done. On 32-bit "classic" processors, this is done using BAT registers. On 601, the size of BATs is limited to 8M and we use 2 of them for that initial mapping. This can become quite tight when enabling features like lockdep, so let's use a 3rd one to bump that mapping from 16M to 24M. We keep the 4th BAT free as it can be useful for debugging early boot code to map things like serial ports. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

The macio_dev's created to map devices inside the MacIO ASICs don't have proper dma_ops. This causes crashes on some machines since the SCSI code calls dma_map_* on our behalf using the device we hang from. This fixes it by copying the parent PCI device dma_ops into the macio_dev when creating it. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

The old PowerSurge SMP (ie, dual or quad 604 machines) code has numerous issues in modern world. One is cpu_possible_map is set too late (the device-tree is bogus) so we fail to allocate the interrupt stacks and crash. Another problem is the fact the timebase is frozen by the bringup of the second CPU so the delays in the generic code will hang, we need to move some of the calling procedure to inside the powermac code. This makes it boot again for me Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

A change to the i2c subsystem breaks the warp platform code. The patch is cleaner anyway, the old way was a bit crufty. For those with keen eyes, the gratuitous change in the string from PIKA to Warp is just so the logs look a bit nicer. The following two lines tend to be printed one after another. Warp POST OK Warp DTM thread running. Yeah, this will be the third patch to warp.c submitted in this release....

Commit 31207dab "Fix incorrect allocation of interrupt rev-map" introduced a regression crashing on boot on machines using a "DCR" based MPIC, such as the Cell blades. The reason is that the irq host data structure is initialized much later as a result of that patch, causing our calls to mpic_map() do be done before we have a host setup. Unfortunately, this breaks _mpic_map_dcr() which uses the mpic->irqhost to get to the device node. This fixes it by, instead, passing the device node explicitely to mpic_map().

This commit 335f8514 has stopped properly checking if there is any usb serial associated with the tty in the close function. It happens the close function is called by releasing the terminal right after opening the device fails. As an example, open fails with a non-existing device, when probe has never been called, because the device has never been plugged. This is common in systems with static modules and no udev.

* 'futexes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: futex: Fix the write access fault problem for real
-
Thomas Gleixner authored
commit 64d1304a (futex: setup writeable mapping for futex ops which modify user space data) did address only half of the problem of write access faults. The patch was made on two wrong assumptions: 1) access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE,...) would actually check write access. On x86 it does _NOT_. It's a pure address range check. 2) a RW mapped region can not go away under us. That's wrong as well. Nobody can prevent another thread to call mprotect(PROT_READ) on that region where the futex resides. If that call hits between the get_user_pages_fast() verification and the actual write access in the atomic region we are toast again. The solution is to not rely on access_ok and get_user() for any write access related fault on private and shared futexes. Instead we need to fault it in with verification of write access. There is no generic non destructive write mechanism which would fault the user page in trough a #PF, but as we already know that we will fault we can as well call get_user_pages() directly and avoid the #PF overhead. If get_user_pages() returns -EFAULT we know that we can not fix it anymore and need to bail out to user space. Remove a bunch of confusing comments on this issue as well.
