When we switched away from the optimized C version things stopped being monotonic. The problem is that if we run this with interrupts disabled, we can see the interrupt pending because the counter reached the limit value. When this happens the counter has bit 31 set, and the low bits start counting again from zero. Reported by Martin Habets. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Since the introduction of the acquire_console_sem calls in 0333d835, kexecing can cause the kernel to deadlock: ps3fb_shutdown() -> unregister_framebuffer() -> fb_notifier_call_chain(FB_EVENT_FB_UNBIND) -> fbcon_fb_unbind() -> unbind_con_driver() -> bind_con_driver() [ acquires console_sem ] -> fbcon_deinit() -> fbops->fb_release(newinfo, 0) -> ps3fb_release() -> ps3fb_sync() [ acquires console_sem ] This change avoids the deadlock by moving the acquire_console_sem() out of ps3fb_sync(), and puts it into the two other callsites, leaving ps3fb_release() to call ps3fb_sync() without the console semaphore. [Geert] - Corrected call sequence above - ps3fb_release() may be called with and without console_sem held. This is an inconsistency that should be fixed at the fb level, but for now, try to acquire console_sem in ps3fb_release(). I think it's safer to let ps3fb_release() try to acquire console_sem and not refresh the screen if it fails, than to call ps3fb_sync() without holding console_sem, as ps3fb_par may be modified at the same time, causing crashes or lockups. Besides, ps3fb_release() only calls ps3fb_sync() to refresh the screen when display flipping is disabled, which is an uncommon case (except during shutdown/kexec).

In ps3fb_shutdown, freeing the framebuffer will cause fb_info (in dev->core.driver_data) to be free()ed, which we potentially access from the ps3fbd kthread.

The bug causes corruptions of data read from flash. The original code performs cache invalidation from "adr" to "adr + len" in do_write_buffer(). Since len and adr could be updated in the code before invalidation - it causes improper setting of cache invalidation regions.

I noticed that the commit f1974653 (MIPS Tech: Get rid of volatile in core code) broke the software reset functionality for MIPS Malta boards in big-endian mode. According to the MIPS Malta board user's manual, writing the magic 32-bit GORESET value into the SOFTRES register initiates board soft reset. My experimentation has shown that the endianness of the GORESET integer should thereby be the same as the endianness, which has been set for the CPU itself. The writew() function used to write the magic value in the code introduced by the commit mentioned above, however, swaps bytes for big-endian kernels and transfers 16 bits instead of 32. The patch below replaces the writew() function by the __raw_writel() routine, which leaves the byte order intact and transfers the whole MIPS machine word. Trivial code cleanup (replacing spaces by a tab and cutting oversized lines to make checkpatch.pl happy) is also included. The patch was tested using a Malta evaluation board running in both BE and LE modes. For both modes, software reset was fully functional after the change. P.S. I suspect that the same commit broke the "standby" functionality for MIPS Atlas boards. However, I did not touch the Atlas code as I don't have such board at my disposal and also because the linux-mips.org Web site claims that Atlas support is scheduled for removal.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9673 ACPI _PS3 cause S4 breaks in the second attempt. The system has a _PS3 method for IDE, which will call into SMM mode. Currently we haven't clue why just the second attempt fails, as it's totally in BIOS code, so blacklist the system so far for 2.6.24. A possible suspect is ACPI NVS isn't save/restore, we will revisit the bug after linux does ACPI NVS save/restore.

After non-classifying reset, ehc->classes[] could contain ATA_DEV_UNKNOWN which used to be normalized to ATA_DEV_NONE for consistency. However, this causes unfortunate side effect for drivers which have non-classifying hardresets (e.g. sata_nv) by making hardreset report ATA_DEV_NONE for non-classifying resets and thus makes EH believe that the port is unoccupied and recovery can be skipped. The end result is that after a device is swapped with another one, the new device isn't attached after the old one is detached. This patch makes ata_eh_reset() not normalize UNKNOWN to NONE after non-classifying resets. This fixes the above problem. As UNKNOWN and NONE are handled differently by only EH hotplug logic, this doesn't cause other behavior changes.
