Commit 8bf0223ed515be24de0c671eedaff49e78bebc9c (hwmon, k8temp: Fix temperature reporting for ASB1 processor revisions) fixed temperature reporting for ASB1 CPUs. But those CPU models (model 0x6b, 0x6f, 0x7f) were packaged both as AM2 (desktop) and ASB1 (mobile). Thus the commit leads to wrong temperature reporting for AM2 CPU parts. The solution is to determine the package type for models 0x6b, 0x6f, 0x7f. This is done using BrandId from CPUID Fn8000_0001_EBX[15:0]. See "Constructing the processor Name String" in "Revision Guide for AMD NPT Family 0Fh Processors" (Rev. 3.46).

Jeremy Fitzhardinge authored
Xen events are logically edge triggered, as Xen only calls the event upcall when an event is newly set, but not continuously as it remains set. As a result, use handle_edge_irq rather than handle_level_irq. This has the important side-effect of fixing a long-standing bug of events getting lost if: - an event's interrupt handler is running - the event is migrated to a different vcpu - the event is re-triggered The most noticable symptom of these lost events is occasional lockups of blkfront. Many thanks to Tom Kopec and Daniel Stodden in tracking this down.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge authored
IPIs and VIRQs are inherently per-cpu event types, so treat them as such: - use a specific percpu irq_chip implementation, and - handle them with handle_percpu_irq This makes the path for delivering these interrupts more efficient (no masking/unmasking, no locks), and it avoid problems with attempts to migrate them.

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.
