Commit f23eb2b2 ('tty: stop using "delayed_work" in the tty layer') ended up causing hung machines on UP with no preemption, because the work routine to flip the buffer data to the ldisc would endlessly re-arm itself if the destination buffer had filled up. With the delayed work, that only caused a timer-driving polling of the tty state every timer tick, but without the delay we just ended up with basically a busy loop instead. Stop the insane polling, and instead make the code that opens up the receive room re-schedule the buffer flip work. That's what we should have been doing anyway. This same "poll for tty room" issue is almost certainly also the cause of excessive kworker activity when idle reported by Dave Jones, who also reported "flush_to_ldisc executing 2500 times a second" back in Nov 2010: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/30/592 which is that silly flushing done every timer tick. Wasting both power and CPU for no good reason.

The ADJ_SETOFFSET bit added in commit 094aa188 ("ntp: Add ADJ_SETOFFSET mode bit") also introduced a way for any user to change the system time. Sneaky or buggy calls to adjtimex() could set ADJ_OFFSET_SS_READ | ADJ_SETOFFSET which would result in a successful call to timekeeping_inject_offset().

When period interrupts are disabled, snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr0() compares the current time against the time estimated for the current hardware pointer to detect xruns. The somewhat fuzzy threshold in the while loop makes it possible that hdelta becomes negative; the comparison being done with unsigned types then makes the loop go through the entire 263 negative range, and, depending on the value, never reach an unsigned value that is small enough to stop the loop. Doing this with interrupts disabled results in the machine locking up. To prevent this, ensure that the loop condition uses signed types for both operands so that the comparison is correctly done. Many thanks to Kelly Anderson for debugging this.

The MCE subsystem needs to sample an RCU-protected index outside of any protection for that index. If this was a pointer, we would use rcu_access_pointer(), but there is no corresponding rcu_access_index(). This commit therefore creates an rcu_access_index() and applies it to MCE.

On ppc64 the crashkernel region almost always overlaps an area of firmware. This works fine except when using the sysfs interface to reduce the kdump region. If we free the firmware area we are guaranteed to crash. Rename free_reserved_phys_range to crash_free_reserved_phys_range and make it a weak function so we can override it.

On some machines that use i2c to synchronize the timebases (such as PowerMac7,2/7,3 G5 machines), hotplug CPU would crash when putting back a new CPU online due to the underlying i2c bus being closed. This uses the newly added bringup_done() callback to move the close along with other housekeeping calls, and adds a CPU notifier to re-open the i2c bus around subsequent hotplug operations Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

The current code soft-disables, and then goes to NAP mode which turns interrupts on. That means that if an interrupt occurs, we will hit the masked interrupt code path which isn't what we want, as it will return with EE off, which will either get us out of NAP mode, or fail to enter it (according to spec). Instead, let's just rely on the fact that it is safe to take decrementer interrupts on an offline CPU and leave interrupts enabled. We can also get rid of the special case in asm for power4_cpu_offline_powersave() and just use power4_idle(). Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
