      OMAPDSS: Remove passive matrix LCD support (part 1) · 6d523e7b
      Archit Taneja authored
      Remove clock constraints related to passive matrix displays.
      
      There is a constraint (pcd_min should be 3) for passive matrix displays. Remove
      this constraint in clock divider calculations as we won't support passive
      matrix displays any more.
      
      This cleans up the functions which calculate the clock dividers with DSI's PLL
      or DSS_FCLK as the clock source.

      OMAPDSS: HDMI: Replace spinlock with mutex in hdmi_check_hpd_state · 3a5383a2
      Jassi Brar authored
      State change of HDMI PHY could potentially take many millisecs, we can do
      better by protecting things in hdmi_set_phy_pwr() with a mutex rather than
      a spin_lock_irqsave.

      OMAPDSS: Add LCD3 overlay manager and Clock and IRQ support · e86d456a
      Chandrabhanu Mahapatra authored
      The support for LCD3 manager has been added into the manager module. LCD3 panel
      has registers as DISPC_CONTROL3 and DISPC_CONFIG3 just like those in LCD and
      LCD2 panels. These registers control the Display Controller (DISPC) module for
      LCD3 output. The three LCDs support Display Serial Interface (DSI), Remote Frame
      Buffer Interface (RFBI) and Parallel CMOS Output Interface (DPI). These LCDs can
      be connected through parallel output interface using DISPC and RFBI or DPI. For
      serial interface DSS uses DSI.
      
      The LCD3 panel, just like LCD and LCD2 panels, has a clock switch in DSS_CTRL
      register which has been enabled. The clock switch chooses between DSS_CLK and
      DPLL_DSI1_C_CLK1 as source for LCD3_CLK. New IRQs as DISPC_IRQ_VSYNC3,
      DISPC_IRQ_FRAMEDONE3, DISPC_IRQ_ACBIAS_COUNT_STAT3 and DISPC_IRQ_SYNC_LOST3 have
      been added specific to the new manager.

      OMAP5 Display Subsystem (DSS) architecture comes with a additional LCD3 channel
      with its own dedicated overlay manager. The current patch adds LCD3 channel and
      basic register support for LCD3 channel. It adds register addresses for various
      Display Controller (DISPC) registers like DISPC_DEFAULT_COLOR, DISPC_TIMING_H,
      DISPC_DIVISORo, etc.

      OMAPDSS: Cleanup implementation of LCD channels · efa70b3b
      Chandrabhanu Mahapatra authored
      The current implementation of LCD channels and managers consists of a number of
      if-else construct which has been replaced by a simpler interface. A constant
      structure mgr_desc has been created in Display Controller (DISPC) module. The
      mgr_desc contains for each channel its name, irqs and  is initialized one time
      with all registers and their corresponding fields to be written to enable
      various features of Display Subsystem. This structure is later used by various
      functions of DISPC which simplifies the further implementation of LCD channels
      and its corresponding managers.

      OMAPDSS: fix warnings if CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME=n · 5be3aebd
      Tomi Valkeinen authored
      If runtime PM is not enabled in the kernel config, pm_runtime_get_sync()
      will always return 1 and pm_runtime_put_sync() will always return
      -ENOSYS. pm_runtime_get_sync() returning 1 presents no problem to the
      driver, but -ENOSYS from pm_runtime_put_sync() causes the driver to
      print a warning.
      
      One option would be to ignore errors returned by pm_runtime_put_sync()
      totally, as they only say that the call was unable to put the hardware
      into suspend mode.
      
      However, I chose to ignore the returned -ENOSYS explicitly, and print a
      warning for other errors, as I think we should get notified if the HW
      failed to go to suspend properly.

      OMAPDSS: Use PM notifiers for system suspend · 2b8501d7
      Tomi Valkeinen authored
      The current way how omapdss handles system suspend and resume is that
      omapdss device (a platform device, which is not part of the device
      hierarchy of the DSS HW devices, like DISPC and DSI, or panels.) uses
      the suspend and resume callbacks from platform_driver to handle system
      suspend. It does this by disabling all enabled panels on suspend, and
      resuming the previously disabled panels on resume.
      
      This presents a few problems.
      
      One is that as omapdss device is not related to the panel devices or the
      DSS HW devices, there's no ordering in the suspend process. This means
      that suspend could be first ran for DSS HW devices and panels, and only
      then for omapdss device. Currently this is not a problem, as DSS HW
      devices and panels do not handle suspend.
      
      Another, more pressing problem, is that when suspending or resuming, the
      runtime PM functions return -EACCES as runtime PM is disabled during
      system suspend. This causes the driver to print warnings, and operations
      to fail as they think that they failed to bring up the HW.
      
      This patch changes the omapdss suspend handling to use PM notifiers,
      which are called before suspend and after resume. This way we have a
      normally functioning system when we are suspending and resuming the
      panels.
      
      This patch, I believe, creates a problem that somebody could enable or
      disable a panel between PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE and the system suspend, and
      similarly the other way around in resume. I choose to ignore the problem
      for now, as it sounds rather unlikely, and if it happens, it's not
      fatal.
      
      In the long run the system suspend handling of omapdss and panels should
      be thought out properly. The current approach feels rather hacky.
      Perhaps the panel drivers should handle system suspend, or the users of
      omapdss (omapfb, omapdrm) should handle system suspend.
      
      Note that after this patch we could probably revert
      0eaf9f52 (OMAPDSS: use sync versions of
      pm_runtime_put). But as I said, this patch may be temporary, so let's
      leave the sync version still in place.

      mm, oom: fix badness score underflow · 1e11ad8d
      David Rientjes authored
      If the privileges given to root threads (3% of allowable memory) or a
      negative value of /proc/pid/oom_score_adj happen to exceed the amount of
      rss of a thread, its badness score overflows as a result of commit
      a7f638f9 ("mm, oom: normalize oom scores to oom_score_adj scale only
      for userspace").
      
      Fix this by making the type signed and return 1, meaning the thread is
      still eligible for kill, if the value is negative.

      Linus Torvalds authored
      This reverts commit 9e612a00.
      
      It incorrectly finds VGA connectors where none are attached, apparently
      not noticing that nothing replied to the EDID queries, and happily using
      the default EDID modes that have nothing to do with actual hardware.
      
      That in turn then causes X to fall down to the lowest common
      denominator, which is usually the default 1024x768 mode that is in the
      default EDID and pretty much anything supports).
      
      I'd suggest that if not relying on the HDP pin, the code should at least
      check whether it gets valid EDID data back, rather than just assume
      there's something on the VGA connector.

      Linus Torvalds authored
      This reverts commit 7732a557 (and commit
      3f50fff4, which was a follow-up
      cleanup).
      
      We're chasing an elusive bug that Dave Jones can apparently reproduce
      using his system call fuzzer tool, and that looks like some kind of
      locking ordering problem on the directory i_mutex chain.  Our i_mutex
      locking is rather complex, and depends on the topological ordering of
      the directories, which is why we have been very wary of splicing
      directory entries around.
      
      Of course, we really don't want to ever see aliased unconnected
      directories anyway, so none of this should ever happen, but this revert
      aims to basically get us back to a known older state.
      
      Bruce points to some of the previous discussion at
      
             http://marc.info/?i=<20110310105821.GE22723@ZenIV.linux.org.uk>
      
      and in particular a long post from Neil:
      
             http://marc.info/?i=<20110311150749.2fa2be66@notabene.brown>
      
      It should be noted that it's possible that Dave's problems come from
      other changes altohgether, including possibly just the fact that Dave
      constantly is teachning his fuzzer new tricks.  So what appears to be a
      new bug could in fact be an old one that just gets newly triggered, but
      reverting these patches as "still under heavy discussion" is the right
      thing regardless.

      x86/nmi: Fix section mismatch warnings on 32-bit · eeaaa96a
      Don Zickus authored
      It was reported that compiling for 32-bit caused a bunch of
      section mismatch warnings:
      
       VDSOSYM arch/x86/vdso/vdso32-syms.lds
        LD      arch/x86/vdso/built-in.o

       WARNING: arch/x86/built-in.o(.data+0x5af0): Section mismatch in
       reference from the variable test_nmi_ipi_callback_na.10451 to
       the function .init.text:test_nmi_ipi_callback() [...]
      
       WARNING: arch/x86/built-in.o(.data+0x5b04): Section mismatch in
       reference from the variable nmi_unk_cb_na.10399 to the function
       .init.text:nmi_unk_cb() The variable nmi_unk_cb_na.10399
       references the function __init nmi_unk_cb() [...]
      
      Both of these are attributed to the internal representation of
      the nmiaction struct created during register_nmi_handler.  The
      reason for this is that those structs are not defined in the
      init section whereas the rest of the code in nmi_selftest.c is.
      
      To resolve this, I created a new #define,
      register_nmi_handler_initonly, that tags the struct as
      __initdata to resolve the mismatch.  This #define should only be
      used in rare situations where the register/unregister is called
      during init of the kernel.
      
      Big thanks to Jan Beulich for decoding this for me as I didn't
      have a clue what was going on.

      powerpc: Fix kernel panic during kernel module load · 3c752965
      Steffen Rumler authored
      This fixes a problem which can causes kernel oopses while loading
      a kernel module.
      
      According to the PowerPC EABI specification, GPR r11 is assigned
      the dedicated function to point to the previous stack frame.
      In the powerpc-specific kernel module loader, do_plt_call()
      (in arch/powerpc/kernel/module_32.c), GPR r11 is also used
      to generate trampoline code.
      
      This combination crashes the kernel, in the case where the compiler
      chooses to use a helper function for saving GPRs on entry, and the
      module loader has placed the .init.text section far away from the
      .text section, meaning that it has to generate a trampoline for
      functions in the .init.text section to call the GPR save helper.
      Because the trampoline trashes r11, references to the stack frame
      using r11 can cause an oops.
      
      The fix just uses GPR r12 instead of GPR r11 for generating the
      trampoline code.  According to the statements from Freescale, this is
      safe from an EABI perspective.
      
      I've tested the fix for kernel 2.6.33 on MPC8541.

      x86/uv: Fix UV2 BAU legacy mode · d5d2d2ee
      Cliff Wickman authored
      The SGI Altix UV2 BAU (Broadcast Assist Unit) as used for
      tlb-shootdown (selective broadcast mode) always uses UV2
      broadcast descriptor format. There is no need to clear the
      'legacy' (UV1) mode, because the hardware always uses UV2 mode
      for selective broadcast.
      
      But the BIOS uses general broadcast and legacy mode, and the
      hardware pays attention to the legacy mode bit for general
      broadcast. So the kernel must not clear that mode bit.

      That commit will add up extra pages for all memory range even

      module_param: stop double-calling parameters. · ae82fdb1
      Rusty Russell authored
      Commit 026cee00 "params:
      <level>_initcall-like kernel parameters" set old-style module
      parameters to level 0.  And we call those level 0 calls where we used
      to, early in start_kernel().
      
      We also loop through the initcall levels and call the levelled
      module_params before the corresponding initcall.  Unfortunately level
      0 is early_init(), so we call the standard module_param calls twice.
      
      (Turns out most things don't care, but at least ubi.mtd does).
      
      Change the level to -1 for standard module_param calls.

      powerpc/time: Sanity check of decrementer expiration is necessary · 860aed25
      Paul Mackerras authored
      This reverts 68568add ("powerpc/time: Remove unnecessary sanity check
      of decrementer expiration").  We do need to check whether we have reached
      the expiration time of the next event, because we sometimes get an early
      decrementer interrupt, most notably when we set the decrementer to 1 in
      arch_irq_work_raise().  The effect of not having the sanity check is that
      if timer_interrupt() gets called early, we leave the decrementer set to
      its maximum value, which means we then don't get any more decrementer
      interrupts for about 4 seconds (or longer, depending on timebase
      frequency).  I saw these pauses as a consequence of getting a stray
      hypervisor decrementer interrupt left over from exiting a KVM guest.
      
      This isn't quite a straight revert because of changes to the surrounding
      code, but it restores the same algorithm as was previously used.

      Revert "mm: correctly synchronize rss-counters at exit/exec" · 48d212a2
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This reverts commit 40af1bbd.
      
      It's horribly and utterly broken for at least the following reasons:
      
       - calling sync_mm_rss() from mmput() is fundamentally wrong, because
         there's absolutely no reason to believe that the task that does the
         mmput() always does it on its own VM.  Example: fork, ptrace, /proc -
         you name it.
      
       - calling it *after* having done mmdrop() on it is doubly insane, since
         the mm struct may well be gone now.
      
       - testing mm against NULL before you call it is insane too, since a
      NULL mm there would have caused oopses long before.
      
      .. and those are just the three bugs I found before I decided to give up
      looking for me and revert it asap.  I should have caught it before I
      even took it, but I trusted Andrew too much.

      ext4: fix the free blocks calculation for ext3 file systems w/ uninit_bg · b0dd6b70
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      Ext3 filesystems that are converted to use as many ext4 file system
      features as possible will enable uninit_bg to speed up e2fsck times.
      These file systems will have a native ext3 layout of inode tables and
      block allocation bitmaps (as opposed to ext4's flex_bg layout).
      Unfortunately, in these cases, when first allocating a block in an
      uninitialized block group, ext4 would incorrectly calculate the number
      of free blocks in that block group, and then errorneously report that
      the file system was corrupt:
      
      EXT4-fs error (device vdd): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:741: group 30, 32254 clusters in bitmap, 32258 in gd
      
      This problem can be reproduced via:
      
          mke2fs -q -t ext4 -O ^flex_bg /dev/vdd 5g
          mount -t ext4 /dev/vdd /mnt
          fallocate -l 4600m /mnt/test
      
      The problem was caused by a bone headed mistake in the check to see if a
      particular metadata block was part of the block group.
      
      Many thanks to Kees Cook for finding and bisecting the buggy commit
      which introduced this bug (commit fd034a84, present since v3.2).
