If the interrupt and the timeout happen roughly at the same time, we can get into a situation where the timer function is run while the interrupt has already been processed. In this case, the timer function might end up doing an add_timer on an already pending timer, causing a BUG_ON() to trigger. Instead, just skip the whole timeout operation if we see that the timer is pending. The spinlock ensures that the only way that happens is if we already started a new operation and thus the timeout can be ignored. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

The problem was reported by Anton Blanchard. While EEH error happened to the PCI device without the corresponding device driver, kernel crash was seen. Eventually, I successfully reproduced the problem on Firebird-L machine with utility "errinjct". Initially, the device driver for Emulex ethernet MAC has been disabled from .config and force data parity on the Emulex ethernet MAC with help of "errinjct". Eventually, I saw the kernel crash after issueing couple of "lspci -v" command. The root cause behind is that the PCI device, including the reference to the corresponding eeh device, will be removed from the system while EEH does recovery. Afterwards, the PCI device will be probed again and added into the system accordingly. So it's not safe to retrieve the eeh device from the corresponding PCI device after the PCI device has been removed and not added again. The patch fixes the issue and retrieve the eeh device from OF node instead of PCI device after the PCI device has been removed.

Commit 46d026ac ("powerpc/85xx: consolidate of_platform_bus_probe calls") replaced platform-specific of_device_id tables with a single function that probes the most of the busses in 85xx device trees. If a specific platform needed additional busses probed, then it could call of_platform_bus_probe() again. Typically, the additional platform-specific busses are children of existing busses that have already been probed. of_platform_bus_probe() does not handle those child busses automatically. Unfortunately, this doesn't actually work. The second (platform-specific) call to of_platform_bus_probe() never finds any of the busses it's asked to find. To remedy this, the platform-specific of_device_id tables are eliminated, and their entries are merged into mpc85xx_common_ids[], so that all busses are probed at once.

The BCJ filters were meant to be enabled already on these archs, but the xz_wrap.sh script was buggy. Enabling the filters should give smaller kernel images. xz_wrap.sh will now use $SRCARCH instead of $ARCH to detect the architecture. That way it doesn't need to care about the subarchs (like i386 vs. x86_64) since the BCJ filters don't care either.

This reverts commit 6fe0d062. Paul bisected this regression. The conversion was done blindly and is wrong, as it does not provide a primary handler to disable the level type irq on the device level. Neither does it set the IRQF_ONESHOT flag which handles that at the irq line level. This can't be done as the interrupt might be shared, though we might extend the core to force it. So an interrupt on this line will wake up the thread, but immediately unmask the irq after that. Due to the interrupt being level type the hardware interrupt is raised over and over and prevents the irq thread from handling it. Fail. request_irq() unfortunately does not refuse such a request and the patch was obviously never tested with real interrupts.

At the start of the function we assign 'a->d' to 'ap'. Then we use the RESIZE_IF_NEEDED macro on 'a' - this may free 'a->d' and replace it with newly allocaetd storage. In that case, we'll be operating on freed memory further down in the function when we index into 'ap[]'. Since we don't actually need 'ap' until after the use of the RESIZE_IF_NEEDED macro we can just delay the assignment to it until after we've potentially resized, thus avoiding the issue. While I was there anyway I also changed the integer variable 'n' to be const. It might as well be since we only assign to it once and use it as a constant, and then the compiler will tell us if we ever assign to it in the future.

I'm not sure how realistic this is and it's only a regression if you consider changes made since 2.6.39 to be a "regression" vis-a-vis the policy regarding post-merge window bug fixes, but Linus agreed it was worth fixing, so I'm including it in this pull request.

Some shortcomings introduced into pci_restore_state() by commit 26f41062 ("PCI: check for pci bar restore completion and retry") have been fixed by recent commit ebfc5b80 ("PCI: Fix regression in pci_restore_state(), v3"), but that commit treats all PCI devices as those with Type 0 configuration headers. That is not entirely correct, because Type 1 and Type 2 headers have different layouts. In particular, the area occupied by BARs in Type 0 config headers contains the secondary status register in Type 1 ones and it doesn't make sense to retry the restoration of that register even if the value read back from it after a write is not the same as the written one (it very well may be different). For this reason, make pci_restore_state() only retry the restoration of BARs for Type 0 config headers. This effectively makes it behave as before commit 26f41062 for all header types except for Type 0. Tested-by: Mikko Vinni <mmvinni@yahoo.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Luck, Tony authored
Michel Lespinasse cleaned up the futex calling conventions in commit 37a9d912 ("futex: Sanitize cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API"). But the ia64 implementation was subtly broken. Gcc does not know that register "r8" will be updated by the fault handler if the cmpxchg instruction takes an exception. So it feels safe in letting the initialization of r8 slide to after the cmpxchg. Result: we always return 0 whether the user address faulted or not. Fix by moving the initialization of r8 into the __asm__ code so gcc won't move it.

The 'max' range needs to be unsigned, since the size of the user address space is bigger than 2GB. We know that 'count' is positive in 'long' (that is checked in the caller), so we will truncate 'max' down to something that fits in a signed long, but before we actually do that, that comparison needs to be done in unsigned. Bug introduced in commit 92ae03f2 ("x86: merge 32/64-bit versions of 'strncpy_from_user()' and speed it up"). On x86-64 you can't trigger this, since the user address space is much smaller than 63 bits, and on x86-32 it works in practice, since you would seldom hit the strncpy limits anyway. I had actually tested the corner-cases, I had only tested them on x86-64. Besides, I had only worried about the case of a pointer *close* to the end of the address space, rather than really far away from it ;) This also changes the "we hit the user-specified maximum" to return 'res', for the trivial reason that gcc seems to generate better code that way. 'res' and 'count' are the same in that case, so it really doesn't matter which one we return. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Currently when ThumbEE is not enabled (!CONFIG_ARM_THUMBEE) the ThumbEE register states are not saved/restored at context switch. The default state of the ThumbEE Ctrl register (TEECR) allows userspace accesses to the ThumbEE Base Handler register (TEEHBR). This can cause unexpected behaviour when people use ThumbEE on !CONFIG_ARM_THUMBEE kernels, as well as allowing covert communication - eg between userspace tasks running inside chroot jails. This patch sets up TEECR in order to prevent user-space access to TEEHBR when !CONFIG_ARM_THUMBEE. In this case, tasks are sent SIGILL if they try to access TEEHBR.

During booting of cpu1, there is a short window where cpu1 is online, but not active where cpu1 is occupied by waiting to become active. If cpu0 then decides to schedule something on cpu1 and wait for it to complete, before cpu0 has set cpu1 active, we have a deadlock. Typically it's this CPU frequency transition that happens at this time, so let's just not wait for it to happen, it will happen whenever the CPU eventually comes online instead.
