The Swarm IDE driver uses a release method which is defined in the driver itself thus potentially oopsable. The simple fix would be to just leak the device but this patch goes the full length and moves the entire handling of the platform device in the platform code and retains only the platform driver code in drivers/ide/mips/swarm.c.

Apparently, 'xcount' being 0 does not mean 0 bytes for TRM290; it means 4 bytes, judging from the code immediately preceding this check. So, we must never try to "split" the PRD for TRM290. This is probably never hit anyway -- with the DMA buffers aligned to at least 512 bytes and ATAPI DMA not being used for non block I/O commands...

Impact: jiffies increment too fast. Hugh Dickins noted that with NOHZ=n and HIGHRES=n jiffies get incremented too fast. The reason is a wrong check in the broadcast enter/exit code, which keeps the local apic timer in periodic mode when the switch happens. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Make the ACPI /proc/acpi/wakeup interface set the appropriate wake-up bits of physical devices corresponding to the ACPI devices and make those bits be set initially for devices that are enabled to wake up by default. This is needed to restore the 2.6.26 and earlier behavior for the PCI devices that were previously handled correctly with the help of the /proc/acpi/wakeup interface. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Check the return value of led_classdev_register and unregister all registered devices, if registering one device fails. Also the dynamic memory handling is totally bogus. You can't allocate multiple chunks via kzalloc() and expect them to be in order later. I wonder how this ever worked.

On initialization, we first do the ioremap and then register the led devices. On deinitialization, we do it in reverse order.

Paul Moore authored
At some point during the 2.6.27 development cycle two new fields were added to the SELinux context structure, a string pointer and a length field. The code in selinux_secattr_to_sid() was not modified and as a result these two fields were left uninitialized which could result in erratic behavior, including kernel panics, when NetLabel is used. This patch fixes the problem by fully initializing the context in selinux_secattr_to_sid() before use and reducing the level of direct context manipulation done to help prevent future problems. Please apply this to the 2.6.27-rcX release stream. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

Impact: segfault on build of a 32-bit relocatable kernel When converting arch/x86/boot/compressed/relocs.c to support unlimited sections, the computation of sym_strtab in walk_relocs() was done incorrectly.

This fixes a regression that came with 934b2857 ("[S390] nohz/sclp: disable timer on synchronous waits."). If udelay() gets called from a disabled context it sets the clock comparator to a value where it expects the next interrupt. When the interrupt happens the clock comparator gets not reset and therefore the interrupt condition doesn't get cleared. The result is an endless timer interrupt loop. In addition this patch fixes also the following: rcutorture reveals that our __udelay implementation is still buggy, since it might schedule tasklets, but prevents their execution: NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 42 NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02 NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 142 NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02 To fix this we make sure that only the clock comparator interrupt is enabled when the enabled wait psw is loaded. Also no code gets called anymore which might schedule tasklets. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

Rework of SMTC support to make it work with the new clock event system, allowing "tickless" operation, and to make it compatible with the use of the "wait_irqoff" idle loop. The new clocking scheme means that the previously optional IPI instant replay mechanism is now required, and has been made more robust. Signed-off-by: Kevin D.

Though from a hardware perspective it would be sensible to use only a 32-bit unsigned int type Linux defines interrupt flags to be stored in an unsigned long and nothing else. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

Doing 'WARN_ON(preempt_count())' was horribly horribly wrong, and would cause tons of warnings at bootup if PREEMPT was enabled because the initcalls currently run with the kernel lock, which increments the preempt count. At the same time, the warning was also insufficient, since it didn't check that interrupts were enabled. The proper debug function to use for something that can sleep and wants a warning if it's called in the wrong context is 'might_sleep()'.

This is loosely based on a patch by Jesse Barnes to check the user-space PCI mappings though the sysfs interfaces. Quoting Jesse's original explanation: It's fairly common for applications to map PCI resources through sysfs. However, with the current implementation, it's possible for an application to map far more than the range corresponding to the resourceN file it opened. This patch plugs that hole by checking the range at mmap time, similar to what is done on platforms like sparc64 in their lower level PCI remapping routines. It was initially put together to help debug the e1000e NVRAM corruption problem, since we initially thought an X driver might be walking past the end of one of its mappings and clobbering the NVRAM. It now looks like that's not the case, but doing the check is still important for obvious reasons. and this version of the patch differs in that it uses a helper function to clarify the code, and does all the checks in pages (instead of bytes) in order to avoid overflows when doing "<< PAGE_SHIFT" etc. Acked-by: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This patch adds a mutex to the e1000e driver that would help catch any collisions of two e1000e threads accessing hardware at the same time. description and patch updated by Jesse Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

the stats lock is left over from e1000, e1000e no longer has the adjust tbi stats function that required the addition of the stats lock to begin with. adding a mutex to acquire_swflag helped catch this one too.

thanks to tglx, we're finding some interesting reentrancy issues. this patch removes the phy read from inside a spinlock, paving the way for removing the spinlock completely. The phy read was only feeding a statistic that wasn't used.

e1000e was apparently calling two functions that attempted to reserve the SWFLAG bit for exclusive (to hardware and firmware) access to the PHY and NVM (aka eeprom). These accesses could possibly call msleep to wait for the resource which is not allowed from interrupt context.

in the process of debugging things, noticed that the swflag is not reset by the driver after reset, and the swflag is probably not reset unless management firmware clears it after 100ms.

When we initialise a compound page we initialise the page flags and head page pointer for all base pages spanned by that page. When we initialise a gigantic page (a page of order greater than or equal to MAX_ORDER) we have to initialise more than MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages. Currently we assume that all elements of the mem_map in this page are contigious in memory. However this is only guarenteed out to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages, and with SPARSEMEM enabled they will not be contigious. This leads us to walk off the end of the first section and scribble on everything which follows, BAD. When we reach a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundary we much locate the next section of the mem_map. As gigantic pages can only be maximally aligned we know this will occur at exact multiple of MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages from the start of the page. This is a bug fix for the gigantic page support in hugetlbfs. Credit to Mel Gorman for spotting the issue.
