save_stack_trace() stores the instruction pointer, not the function descriptor. On ppc64 the trace stack code currently dereferences the instruction pointer and shows 8 bytes of instructions in our backtraces: # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/stack_trace Depth Size Location (26 entries) ----- ---- -------- 0) 5424 112 0x6000000048000004 1) 5312 160 0x60000000ebad01b0 2) 5152 160 0x2c23000041c20030 3) 4992 240 0x600000007c781b79 4) 4752 160 0xe84100284800000c 5) 4592 192 0x600000002fa30000 6) 4400 256 0x7f1800347b7407e0 7) 4144 208 0xe89f0108f87f0070 8) 3936 272 0xe84100282fa30000 Since we aren't dealing with function descriptors, use %pS instead of %pF to fix it: # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/stack_trace Depth Size Location (26 entries) ----- ---- -------- 0) 5424 112 ftrace_call+0x4/0x8 1) 5312 160 .current_io_context+0x28/0x74 2) 5152 160 .get_io_context+0x48/0xa0 3) 4992 240 .cfq_set_request+0x94/0x4c4 4) 4752 160 .elv_set_request+0x60/0x84 5) 4592 192 .get_request+0x2d4/0x468 6) 4400 256 .get_request_wait+0x7c/0x258 7) 4144 208 .__make_request+0x49c/0x610 8) 3936 272 .generic_make_request+0x390/0x434 Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Cc: rostedt@goodmis.org Cc: fweisbec@gmail.com LKML-Reference: <20100825013238.GE28360@kryten> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

The tlb flushing code uses the mm_users field of the mm_struct to decide if each page table entry needs to be flushed individually with IPTE or if a global flush for the mm_struct is sufficient after all page table updates have been done. The comment for mm_users says "How many users with user space?" but the /proc code increases mm_users after it found the process structure by pid without creating a new user process. Which makes mm_users useless for the decision between the two tlb flusing methods. The current code can be confused to not flush tlb entries by a concurrent access to /proc files if e.g. a fork is in progres. The solution for this problem is to make the tlb flushing logic independent from the mm_users field. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

This is based upon a report by Meelis Roos showing that it's possible that we'll try to fetch a property that is 32K in size with some devices. With the current fixed 3K buffer we use for moving data in and out of the firmware during PROM calls, that simply won't work. In fact, it will scramble random kernel data during bootup. The reasoning behind the temporary buffer is entirely historical. It used to be the case that we had problems referencing dynamic kernel memory (including the stack) early in the boot process before we explicitly told the firwmare to switch us over to the kernel trap table. So what we did was always give the firmware buffers that were locked into the main kernel image. But we no longer have problems like that, so get rid of all of this indirect bounce buffering. Besides fixing Meelis's bug, this also makes the kernel data about 3K smaller. It was also discovered during these conversions that the implementation of prom_retain() was completely wrong, so that was fixed here as well. Currently that interface is not in use.

Matt Evans authored
As early setup calls down to slb_initialize(), we must have kstack initialised before checking "should we add a bolted SLB entry for our kstack?" Failing to do so means stack access requires an SLB miss exception to refill an entry dynamically, if the stack isn't accessible via SLB(0) (kernel text & static data). It's not always allowable to take such a miss, and intermittent crashes will result. Primary CPUs don't have this issue; an SLB entry is not bolted for their stack anyway (as that lives within SLB(0)). This patch therefore only affects the init of secondaries.

When looking at some issues with the virtual ethernet driver I noticed that TCE allocation was following a very strange pattern: address 00e9000 length 2048 address 0409000 length 2048 <----- address 0429000 length 2048 address 0449000 length 2048 address 0469000 length 2048 address 0489000 length 2048 address 04a9000 length 2048 address 04c9000 length 2048 address 04e9000 length 2048 address 4009000 length 2048 <----- address 4029000 length 2048 Huge unexplained gaps in what should be an empty TCE table. It turns out it_blocksize, the amount we want to align the next allocation to, was c0000000fe903b20. Completely bogus. Initialise it to something reasonable in the VIO IOMMU code, and use kzalloc everywhere to protect against this when we next add a non compulsary field to iommu code and forget to initialise it.

During CPU offline/online tests __cpu_up would flood the logs with the following message: Processor 0 found. This provides no useful information to the user as there is no context provided, and since the operation was a success (to this point) it is expected that the CPU will come back online, providing all the feedback necessary. Change the "Processor found" message to DBG() similar to other such messages in the same function. Also, add an appropriate log level for the "Processor is stuck" message.

This makes the 64-bit kernel use 64-bit signed integers for the counter (effectively supporting 32-bit of active count in the semaphore), thus avoiding things like overflow of the mmap_sem if you use a really crazy number of threads Note: Ideally the type in the structure should be atomic_long_t rather than "long". However, there's some nasty issues with that. It needs to be initialized statically -and- lib/rwsem.c does things like sem->count = RWSEM_UNLOCKED_VALUE; Now, if you mix in the fact that atomic_* types are actually structures with one member and note typedefs of a scalar, it makes its really nasty. So I stuck to what we did before using a long and casts for now. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
