Commit 8c749327 ("i386: Remove alternative_smp") did not actually compile on x86 with CONFIG_SMP. This fixes the __build_read/write_lock helpers. I've boot tested on SMP. [ Andi: "Oops, I think that was a quilt unrefreshed patch. Sorry. I fixed those before testing, but then still send out the old patch." ] Signed-off-by:

This fixes a hang on ppc32. The problem was that I was comparing a 32-bit quantity with a 64-bit quantity, and consequently time wasn't advancing. This makes us use a 64-bit quantity on all platforms, which ends up simplifying the code since we can now get rid of the tb_last_stamp variable (which actually fixes another bug that Ben H and I noticed while going carefully through the code). This works fine on my G4 tibook. Let me know how it goes on your machines. Acked-by:

The backlight changes that went in had a bug where they could cause the kernel to access an unitialized pointer when blanking if there is no backlight control on a machine. The bug affects atyfb, aty128fb, nvidiafb and rivafb. radeonfb seems to be ok. This fixes it. Signed-off-by:

As pointed out by Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>, our memcpy implementation didn't return the destination pointer as its return value, and there is code in the kernel that expects that. This fixes it. Signed-off-by:Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

The following change from -mm is important to 2.6.18 (actually to 2.6.17 but its too late for that). This was contributed over three months ago by VIA to Bartlomiej and nothing happened. As a result the new chipset is now out and Linux won't run on it. By the time 2.6.18 is finalised this will be the defacto standard VIA chipset so support would be a good plan. Tested in -mm for a while, its essentially a PCI ident update but for the bridge chip because VIA do things in weird ways. Signed-off-by: -

It's possible to get an invalid page fault in kernel mode when we try to write out segments from vsyscall32 when dumping core for a 32bit process if the vsyscall32 DSO is not mapped in its address space (which can happen if, for example, ulimit -v 100 is run). Signed-off-by:

As a replacement for the earlier removal of the e820 MCFG check we blacklist the Intel SDV with the original BIOS bug that motivated that check. On those machines don't use MMCONFIG. This also adds a new pci=mmconf parameter to override the blacklist. Cc: Greg KH <gregkh@suse.de> Cc: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> Signed-off-by:

Noticed by Jan Beulich. When the kernel was moved from 1MB to 2MB in 2.6.17 the kernel reservation code wasn't adjusted and it still reserved starting with 1MB. This means 1MB always were lost. This patch fixes this by reserving only starting with _text. Signed-off-by:

The unwinder fallback logic still had potential for falling through to the legacy stack trace code without printing an indication (at once serving as a separator) of this. Further, the stack pointer retrieval for the fallback should be as restrictive as possible (in order to avoid having the legacy stack tracer try to access invalid memory). The patch tightens that, but this could certainly be further improved. Also making the call_trace command line option now conditional upon CONFIG_STACK_UNWIND (as it's meaningless otherwise).

By hard-coding the cpuid keys for alternative_smp() rather than using the symbolic constant it turned out that incorrect values were used on both i386 (0x68 instead of 0x69) and x86-64 (0x66 instead of 0x68). Signed-off-by:

The check for the MCFG table being reserved in the e820 map was originally added to detect a broken BIOS in a preproduction Intel SDV. However it also breaks the Apple x86 Macs, which can't supply this properly, but need a working MCFG. With this patch they wouldn't use the MCFG and not work. After some discussion I think it's best to remove the heuristic again. It also failed on some other boxes (although it didn't cause much problems there because old style port access for PCI config space still works as fallback), but the preproduction SDVs can just use pci=nommcfg. Supporting production machines properly is more important. Edgar Hucek did all the debugging work. Cc: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> Cc: Edgar Hucek <hostmaster@ed-soft.at> Signed-off-by:

These are build fixes that enable (for example) libata and the ide code to actually build on iSeries. The associated hardware will never be supported on legacy iSeries, so the code paths don't actually need to work, but it is useful (especially for a combined kernel) if the code can build.

Eran Ben-Avi <eranpublic@yahoo.com> pointed out that the arch/ppc version of smp_generic_take_timebase disables interrupts on entry but exits without restoring them. However, both it and the arch/powerpc version have another problem, which is that they use local_irq_disable/enable rather than local_irq_save/restore, and they are called with interrupts disabled. This fixes both problems; it changes a return to a break in the arch/ppc version, and changes both versions to use local_irq_save/restore. Signed-off-by: -

This fixes a problem introduced in 5db9fa95. The last_jiffy per-cpu variable is only 32 bits on 32-bit machines, but it was being compared with a 64-bit quantity (tb_next_jiffy), which resulted in time not advancing. This fixes it by changing last_jiffy to be 64 bits on all platforms. With this, we no longer need tb_last_stamp as a 32-bit version of tb_last_jiffy, so this gets rid of tb_last_stamp and we just use tb_last_jiffy instead. This also fixes a bug when the boot cpu is not online, because using tb_last_stamp could have caused the wrong timebase origin value to be used when calculating the time of day. Signed-off-by:

Device-tree bugs on js20 with some versions of SLOF were causing the interrupt for IDE to not be parsed correctly and fail to boot. This patch adds a bit more sanity checking to the parser to detect some of those errors and fail instead of returning bogus information. The powerpc PCI code can then trigger a fallback that works on those machines. Signed-off-by:

This adds a new hardware information table for mpic. This enables the mpic code to deal with mpic controllers with different register layouts and hardware behaviours. This introduces CONFIG_MPIC_WEIRD. For boards with non standard mpic controllers, select CONFIG_MPIC_WEIRD and add its hardware information in the mpic_infos[] array. TSI108/109 PIC takes the first index of weird hardware information table. :) The table can be extended. The Tsi108/109 PIC looks like standard OpenPIC but, in fact, is different in register mapping and behavior. The patch does not affect the behavior of standard mpic. If CONFIG_MPIC_WEIRD is not defined, the code is essentially identical to the current code. [benh@kernel.crashing.org: This patch is a slightly cleaned up version of Zang Roy's support for the TSI108 MPIC variant. It also fixes up MPC7448_hpc2 to use the new version of the type macros and changes the way MPIC is selected in Kconfig to better match what is done for other system devices. ] Signed-off-by:

This problem was introduced by changeset 14778d90 Unlike the hugetlb code paths, the normal fault code is not setup to propagate PTE changes for large page sizes correctly like the ones we make for I/O mappings in io_remap_pfn_range(). It is absolutely necessary to update all sub-ptes of a largepage mapping on a fault. Adding special handling for this would add considerably complexity to tlb_batch_add(). So let's just side-step the issue and forcefully dirty any writable PTEs created by io_remap_pfn_range(). The only other real option would be to disable to large PTE code of io_remap_pfn_range() and we really don't want to do that. Much thanks to Mikael Pettersson for tracking down this problem and testing debug patches. Signed-off-by:

ipv6_add_addr allocates a struct inet6_ifaddr and a dstentry, but it doesn't install the dstentry in ifa->rt until after it releases the addrconf_hash_lock. This means other CPUs will be able to see the new address while it hasn't been initialized completely yet. One possible fix would be to grab the ifp->lock spinlock when creating the address struct; a simpler fix is to just move the assignment. Acked-by: jbeulich@novell.com Acked-by: okir@suse.de Acked-by:

When I tested Linux kernel 2.6.17.7 about statistics "ipv6IfStatsInAddrErrors", found that this counter couldn't increase correctly. The criteria is RFC2465: ipv6IfStatsInAddrErrors OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX Counter32 MAX-ACCESS read-only STATUS current DESCRIPTION "The number of input datagrams discarded because the IPv6 address in their IPv6 header's destination field was not a valid address to be received at this entity. This count includes invalid addresses (e.g., ::0) and unsupported addresses (e.g., addresses with unallocated prefixes). For entities which are not IPv6 routers and therefore do not forward datagrams, this counter includes datagrams discarded because the destination address was not a local address." ::= { ipv6IfStatsEntry 5 } When I send packet to host with destination that is ether invalid address(::0) or unsupported addresses(1::1), the Linux kernel just discard the packet, and the counter doesn't increase(in the function ip6_pkt_discard).
