      suspend-vs-iommu: prevent suspend if we could not resume · cd76374e
      Pavel Machek authored 
      iommu/gart support misses suspend/resume code, which can do bad stuff,
including memory corruption on resume.  Prevent system suspend in case we
would be unable to resume.

      x86: section mismatch fix · be524fb9
      Andrew Morton authored 
      Fix this:

 WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x114bb): Section mismatch in reference from
 the function nopat() to the function .cpuinit.text:pat_disable()
 The function nopat() references
 the function __cpuinit pat_disable().
 This is often because nopat lacks a __cpuinit
 annotation or the annotation of pat_disable is wrong.

      x86: fix Xorg crash with xf86MapVidMem error · 282c454c
      Venki Pallipadi authored 
      Clarify the usage of mtrr_lookup() in PAT code, and to make PAT code
resilient to mtrr lookup problems.

Specifically, pat_x_mtrr_type() is restructured to highlight, under what
conditions we look for mtrr hint. pat_x_mtrr_type() uses a default type
when there are any errors in mtrr lookup (still maintaining the pat
consistency). And, reserve_memtype() highlights its usage ot mtrr_lookup
for request type of '-1' and also defaults in a sane way on any mtrr
lookup failure.

pat.c looks at mtrr type of a range to get a hint on what mapping type
to request when user/API: (1) hasn't specified any type (/dev/mem
mapping) and we do not want to take performance hit by always mapping
UC_MINUS. This will be the case for /dev/mem mappings used to map BIOS
area or ACPI region which are WB'able. In this case, as long as MTRR is
not WB, PAT will request UC_MINUS for such mappings.

(2) user/API requests WB mapping while in reality MTRR may have UC or
WC. In this case, PAT can map as WB (without checking MTRR) and still
effective type will be UC or WC. But, a subsequent request to map same
region as UC or WC may fail, as the region will get trackked as WB in
PAT list. Looking at MTRR hint helps us to track based on effective type
rather than what user requested. Again, here mtrr_lookup is only used as
hint and we fallback to WB mapping (as requested by user) as default.

In both cases, after using the mtrr hint, we still go through the
memtype list to make sure there are no inconsistencies among multiple
users.

      x86: fix bad pmd ffff810000207xxx(9090909090909090) · 2884f110
      Hugh Dickins authored 
      OGAWA Hirofumi and Fede have reported rare pmd_ERROR messages:
mm/memory.c:127: bad pmd ffff810000207xxx(9090909090909090).

Initialization's cleanup_highmap was leaving alignment filler
behind in the pmd for MODULES_VADDR: when vmalloc's guard page
would occupy a new page table, it's not allocated, and then
module unload's vfree hits the bad 9090 pmd entry left over.

      Fix the math emulation that got broken with the recent lazy allocation of FPU
area. init_fpu() need to be added for the math-emulation path aswell
for the FPU area allocation.

math emulation enabled kernel booted fine with this, in the presence
of "no387 nofxsr" boot param.

      x86: enable preemption in delay · 5c1ea082
      Steven Rostedt authored 
      The RT team has been searching for a nasty latency. This latency shows
up out of the blue and has been seen to be as big as 5ms!

Using ftrace I found the cause of the latency.

   pcscd-2995  3dNh1 52360300us : irq_exit (smp_apic_timer_interrupt)
   pcscd-2995  3dN.2 52360301us : idle_cpu (irq_exit)
   pcscd-2995  3dN.2 52360301us : rcu_irq_exit (irq_exit)
   pcscd-2995  3dN.1 52360771us : smp_apic_timer_interrupt (apic_timer_interrupt
)
   pcscd-2995  3dN.1 52360771us : exit_idle (smp_apic_timer_interrupt)

Here's an example of a 400 us latency. pcscd took a timer interrupt and
returned with "need resched" enabled, but did not reschedule until after
the next interrupt came in at 52360771us 400us later!

At first I thought we somehow missed a preemption check in entry.S. But
I also noticed that this always seemed to happen during a __delay call.

   pcscd-2995  3dN.2 52360836us : rcu_irq_exit (irq_exit)
   pcscd-2995  3.N.. 52361265us : preempt_schedule (__delay)

Looking at the x86 delay, I found my problem.

In git commit 35d5d08a, Andrew Morton
placed preempt_disable around the entire delay due to TSC's not working
nicely on SMP.  Unfortunately for those that care about latencies this
is devastating! Especially when we have callers to mdelay(8).

Here I enable preemption during the loop and account for anytime the task
migrates to a new CPU. The delay asked for may be extended a bit by
the migration, but delay only guarantees that it will delay for that minimum
time. Delaying longer should not be an issue.

[
  Thanks to Thomas Gleixner for spotting that cpu wasn't updated,
    and to place the rep_nop between preempt_enabled/disable.
