Pull sparc fixes from David Miller: 1) Finally make perf stack backtraces stable on sparc, several problems (mostly due to the context in which the user copies from the stack are done) contributed to this. From Rob Gardner. 2) Export ADI capability if the cpu supports it. 3) Hook up userfaultfd system call. 4) When faults happen during user copies we really have to clean up and restore the FPU state fully.

When sysrq is triggered from console, serial driver for SUN hypervisor console receives a console break and enables the sysrq. It expects a valid sysrq char following with break. Meanwhile if driver receives 'NULL' ASCII char then it disables sysrq and sysrq handler will never be invoked. This fix skips calling uart sysrq handler when 'NULL' is received while sysrq is enabled.

Short story: Exception handlers used by some copy_to_user() and copy_from_user() functions do not diligently clean up floating point register usage, and this can result in a user process seeing invalid values in floating point registers. This sometimes makes the process fail. Long story: Several cpu-specific (NG4, NG2, U1, U3) memcpy functions use floating point registers and VIS alignaddr/faligndata to accelerate data copying when source and dest addresses don't align well. Linux uses a lazy scheme for saving floating point registers; It is not done upon entering the kernel since it's a very expensive operation. Rather, it is done only when needed. If the kernel ends up not using FP regs during the course of some trap or system call, then it can return to user space without saving or restoring them. The various memcpy functions begin their FP code with VISEntry (or a variation thereof), which saves the FP regs. They conclude their FP code with VISExit (or a variation) which essentially marks the FP regs "clean", ie, they contain no unsaved values. fprs.FPRS_FEF is turned off so that a lazy restore will be triggered when/if the user process accesses floating point regs again. The bug is that the user copy variants of memcpy, copy_from_user() and copy_to_user(), employ an exception handling mechanism to detect faults when accessing user space addresses, and when this handler is invoked, an immediate return from the function is forced, and VISExit is not executed, thus leaving the fprs register in an indeterminate state, but often with fprs.FPRS_FEF set and one or more dirty bits. This results in a return to user space with invalid values in the FP regs, and since fprs.FPRS_FEF is on, no lazy restore occurs. This bug affects copy_to_user() and copy_from_user() for NG4, NG2, U3, and U1. All are fixed by using a new exception handler for those loads and stores that are done during the time between VISEnter and VISExit. n.b. In NG4memcpy, the problematic code can be triggered by a copy size greater than 128 bytes and an unaligned source address. This bug is known to be the cause of random user process memory corruptions while perf is running with the callgraph option (ie, perf record -g). This occurs because perf uses copy_from_user() to read user stacks, and may fault when it follows a stack frame pointer off to an invalid page. Validation checks on the stack address just obscure the underlying problem.

There have been several reports of random processes being killed with a bus error or segfault during userspace stack walking in perf. One of the root causes of this problem is an asynchronous modification to thread_info fault_address and fault_code, which stems from a perf counter interrupt arriving during kernel processing of a "benign" fault, such as a TSB miss. Since perf_callchain_user() invokes copy_from_user() to read user stacks, a fault is not only possible, but probable. Validity checks on the stack address merely cover up the problem and reduce its frequency. The solution here is to save and restore fault_address and fault_code in perf_callchain_user() so that the benign fault handler is not disturbed by a perf interrupt.

When an interrupt (such as a perf counter interrupt) is delivered while executing in user space, the trap entry code puts ASI_AIUS in %asi so that copy_from_user() and copy_to_user() will access the correct memory. But if a perf counter interrupt is delivered while the cpu is already executing in kernel space, then the trap entry code will put ASI_P in %asi, and this will prevent copy_from_user() from reading any useful stack data in either of the perf_callchain_user_X functions, and thus no user callgraph data will be collected for this sample period. An additional problem is that a fault is guaranteed to occur, and though it will be silently covered up, it wastes time and could perturb state. In perf_callchain_user(), we ensure that %asi contains ASI_AIUS because we know for a fact that the subsequent calls to copy_from_user() are intended to read the user's stack.

This patch fixes a lost request discovered during IO + hot removal. The driver's pci removal deletes gendisks prior to shutting down the controller to allow dirty data to sync. Dirty data can not be synced on a surprise removal, though, and would potentially block indefinitely. The driver previously had marked the queue as dying in this scenario to prevent new requests from attempting, however it will still block for requests that already entered the queue. This patch fixes this by quiescing IO first, then aborting the requeued requests before deleting disks.

Conversion of MTRRs to ranges used the maxphyaddr from the boot CPU. This is wrong, because var_mtrr_range's mask variable then is discontiguous (like FF00FFFF000, where the first run of 0s corresponds to the bits between host and guest maxphyaddr). Instead always set up the masks to be full 64-bit values---we know that the reserved bits at the top are zero, and we can restore them when reading the MSR. This way var_mtrr_range gets a mask that just works.

Turns out CHV pipe C was glued on somewhat poorly, and there's something wrong with the cursor. If the cursor straddles the left screen edge, and is then moved away from the edge or disabled, the pipe will often underrun. If enough underruns are triggered quickly enough the pipe will fall over and die (it just scans out a solid color and reports a constant underrun). We need to turn the disp2d power well off and on again to recover the pipe. None of that is very nice for the user, so let's just refuse to place the cursor in the compromised position. The ddx appears to fall back to swcursor when the ioctl returns an error, so theoretically there's no loss of functionality for the user (discounting swcursor bugs). I suppose most cursors images actually have the hotspot not exactly at 0,0 so under typical conditions the fallback will in fact kick in as soon as the cursor touches the left edge of the screen. Any atomic compositor should anyway be prepared to fall back to GPU composition when things don't work out, so there should be no problem with those. Other things that I tried to solve this include flipping all display related clock gating knobs I could find, increasing the minimum gtt alignment all the way up to 512k. I also tried to see if there are more specific screen coordinates that hit the bug, but the findings were somewhat inconclusive. Sometimes the failures happen almost across the whole left edge, sometimes more at the very top and around the bottom half. I wasn't able to find any real pattern to these variations, so it seems our only choice is to just refuse to straddle the left screen edge at all.

Limit busywaiting only to the request currently being processed by the GPU. If the request is not currently being processed by the GPU, there is a very low likelihood of it being completed within the 2 microsecond spin timeout and so we will just be wasting CPU cycles. v2: Check for logical inversion when rebasing - we were incorrectly checking for this request being active, and instead busywaiting for when the GPU was not yet processing the request of interest. v3: Try another colour for the seqno names. v4: Another colour for the function names. v5: Remove the forced coherency when checking for the active request. On reflection and plenty of recent experimentation, the issue is not a cache coherency problem - but an irq/seqno ordering problem (timing issue). Here, we do not need the w/a to force ordering of the read with an interrupt.

When waiting for high frequency requests, the finite amount of time required to set up the irq and wait upon it limits the response rate. By busywaiting on the request completion for a short while we can service the high frequency waits as quick as possible. However, if it is a slow request, we want to sleep as quickly as possible. The tradeoff between waiting and sleeping is roughly the time it takes to sleep on a request, on the order of a microsecond. Based on measurements of synchronous workloads from across big core and little atom, I have set the limit for busywaiting as 10 microseconds. In most of the synchronous cases, we can reduce the limit down to as little as 2 miscroseconds, but that leaves quite a few test cases regressing by factors of 3 and more. The code currently uses the jiffie clock, but that is far too coarse (on the order of 10 milliseconds) and results in poor interactivity as the CPU ends up being hogged by slow requests. To get microsecond resolution we need to use a high resolution timer. The cheapest of which is polling local_clock(), but that is only valid on the same CPU. If we switch CPUs because the task was preempted, we can also use that as an indicator that the system is too busy to waste cycles on spinning and we should sleep instead. __i915_spin_request was introduced in commit 2def4ad9 [v4.2] Author: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Date: Tue Apr 7 16:20:41 2015 +0100 drm/i915: Optimistically spin for the request completion v2: Drop full u64 for unsigned long - the timer is 32bit wraparound safe, so we can use native register sizes on smaller architectures.

The busywait in __i915_spin_request() does not respect pending signals and so may consume the entire timeslice for the task instead of returning to userspace to handle the signal. In the worst case this could cause a delay in signal processing of 20ms, which would be a noticeable jitter in cursor tracking. If a higher resolution signal was being used, for example to provide fairness of a server timeslices between clients, we could expect to detect some unfairness between clients (i.e. some windows not updating as fast as others). This issue was noticed when inspecting a report of poor interactivity resulting from excessively high __i915_spin_request usage.

If we fail to reconstruct the BIOS fb (e.g., because the FB is too large), we'll be left with plane state that indicates the primary plane is visible yet has a NULL fb. This mismatch causes problems later on (e.g., for the watermark code). Since we've failed to reconstruct the BIOS FB, the best solution is to just disable the primary plane and pretend the BIOS never had it enabled. v2: Add intel_pre_disable_primary() call (Maarten) Cc: Daniel Vetter <daniel@ffwll.ch> Cc: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@intel.com> Cc: Maarten Lankhorst <maarten.lankhorst@linux.intel.com> Cc: drm-intel-fixes@lists.freedesktop.org Signed-off-by: Matt Roper <matthew.d.roper@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Maarten Lankhorst <maarten.lankhorst@linux.intel.com> Link: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/1449171462-30763-2-git-send-email-matthew.d.roper@intel.com (cherry picked from commit 200757f5) Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>

As we mark the preallocated objects as bound, we should also flag them correctly as being map-and-fenceable (if appropriate!) so that later users do not get confused and try and rebind the pinned vma in order to get a map-and-fenceable binding.

The cursor code tries to treat base==0 to mean disabled. That fails when the cursor bo gets bound at ggtt offset 0, and the user is left looking at an invisible cursor. We lose the disabled->disabled optimization, but that seems like something better handled at a slightly higher level.

Without this patch, internal speaker and line-out work, but front headphone output jack stays silent on the Mac Pro 4,1. This code path also gets executed on the MacPro 5,1 due to identical codec SSID, but i don't know if it has any positive or adverse effects there or not. (v2) Implement feedback from Takashi Iwai: Reuse alc889_fixup_mbp_vref and just add a new nid 0x19 for the MacPro 4,1.
