This function pointer is used to call a system-specific function for disabling the IO-APIC. Currently this is used for IRQ remapping which has its own disable routine.

Take advantage of multiple MSIs implementation on x86 - on systems with IRQ remapping AHCI ports not only get assigned separate MSI vectors - but also separate IRQs. As result, interrupts generated by different ports could be serviced on different CPUs rather than on a single one. In cases when number of allocated MSIs is less than requested the Sharing Last MSI mode does not get used, no matter implemented in hardware or not. Instead, the driver assumes the advantage of multiple MSIs is negated and falls back to the single MSI mode as if MRSM bit was set (some Intel chips implement this strategy anyway - MRSM bit gets set even if the number of allocated MSIs exceeds the number of implemented ports).

The new function pci_enable_msi_block_auto() tries to allocate maximum possible number of MSIs up to the number the device supports. It generalizes a pattern when pci_enable_msi_block() is contiguously called until it succeeds or fails. Opposite to pci_enable_msi_block() which takes the number of MSIs to allocate as a input parameter, pci_enable_msi_block_auto() could be used by device drivers to obtain the number of assigned MSIs and the number of MSIs the device supports.

Alexander Gordeev authored
The MSI specification has several constraints in comparison with MSI-X, most notable of them is the inability to configure MSIs independently. As a result, it is impossible to dispatch interrupts from different queues to different CPUs. This is largely devalues the support of multiple MSIs in SMP systems. Also, a necessity to allocate a contiguous block of vector numbers for devices capable of multiple MSIs might cause a considerable pressure on x86 interrupt vector allocator and could lead to fragmentation of the interrupt vectors space. This patch overcomes both drawbacks in presense of IRQ remapping and lets devices take advantage of multiple queues and per-IRQ affinity assignments.

This patch updates x2apic initializaition code to allow x2apic on VMware platform even without interrupt remapping support. The hypervisor_x2apic_available hook was added in x2apic initialization code and used by KVM and XEN, before this. I have also cleaned up that code to export this hook through the hypervisor_x86 structure. Compile tested for KVM and XEN configs, this patch doesn't have any functional effect on those two platforms. On VMware platform, verified that x2apic is used in physical mode on products that support this.

The commit [26a6cb6c: ALSA: hda - Implement a poll loop for jacks as a module parameter] introduced the polling jack detection code, but it also moved the call of snd_hda_jack_set_dirty_all() in the resume path after resume/init ops call. This caused a regression when the jack state has been changed during power-down (e.g. in the power save mode). Since the driver doesn't probe the new jack state but keeps using the cached value due to no dirty flag, the pin state remains also as if the jack is still plugged. The fix is simply moving snd_hda_jack_set_dirty_all() to the original position. Reported-by: Manolo Díaz <diaz.manolo@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

Commit 083b804c ("async: use workqueue for worker pool") made it possible that async jobs are moved from pending to running out-of-order. While pending async jobs will be queued and dispatched for execution in the same order, nothing guarantees they'll enter "1) move self to the running queue" of async_run_entry_fn() in the same order. Before the conversion, async implemented its own worker pool. An async worker, upon being woken up, fetches the first item from the pending list, which kept the executing lists sorted. The conversion to workqueue was done by adding work_struct to each async_entry and async just schedules the work item. The queueing and dispatching of such work items are still in order but now each worker thread is associated with a specific async_entry and moves that specific async_entry to the executing list. So, depending on which worker reaches that point earlier, which is non-deterministic, we may end up moving an async_entry with larger cookie before one with smaller one. This broke __lowest_in_progress(). running->domain may not be properly sorted and is not guaranteed to contain lower cookies than pending list when not empty. Fix it by ensuring sort-inserting to the running list and always looking at both pending and running when trying to determine the lowest cookie. Over time, the async synchronization implementation became quite messy. We better restructure it such that each async_entry is linked to two lists - one global and one per domain - and not move it when execution starts. There's no reason to distinguish pending and running. They behave the same for synchronization purposes.

putreg() assumes that the tracee is not running and pt_regs_access() can safely play with its stack. However a killed tracee can return from ptrace_stop() to the low-level asm code and do RESTORE_REST, this means that debugger can actually read/modify the kernel stack until the tracee does SAVE_REST again. set_task_blockstep() can race with SIGKILL too and in some sense this race is even worse, the very fact the tracee can be woken up breaks the logic. As Linus suggested we can clear TASK_WAKEKILL around the arch_ptrace() call, this ensures that nobody can ever wakeup the tracee while the debugger looks at it. Not only this fixes the mentioned problems, we can do some cleanups/simplifications in arch_ptrace() paths. Probably ptrace_unfreeze_traced() needs more callers, for example it makes sense to make the tracee killable for oom-killer before access_process_vm(). While at it, add the comment into may_ptrace_stop() to explain why ptrace_stop() still can't rely on SIGKILL and signal_pending_state().

By popular demand, arch/aarch64 is now known as arch/arm64. However, uname -m (and indeed the GNU triplet) still use aarch64 as the machine string. This patch fixes native builds of both the kernel and perf tools by updating the relevant Makefiles to munge the output of uname -m and set the ARCH variable appropriately.
