The cnt32_to_63 algorithm relies on proper counter data evaluation ordering to work properly. This was missing from the provided documentation. Let's augment the documentation with the missing usage constraint and fix the only instance that got it wrong.

Linus reported that the new warning introduced by commit f26f9aff "Sched: fix skip_clock_update optimization" triggers. The need_resched flag can be set by other CPUs asynchronously so this debug check is bogus - remove it.

The current tile rt_sigreturn() syscall pattern uses the common idiom of loading up pt_regs with all the saved registers from the time of the signal, then anticipating the fact that we will clobber the ABI "return value" register (r0) as we return from the syscall by setting the rt_sigreturn return value to whatever random value was in the pt_regs for r0. However, this breaks in our 64-bit kernel when running "compat" tasks, since we always sign-extend the "return value" register to properly handle returned pointers that are in the upper 2GB of the 32-bit compat address space. Doing this to the sigreturn path then causes occasional random corruption of the 64-bit r0 register. Instead, we stop doing the crazy "load the return-value register" hack in sigreturn. We already have some sigreturn-specific assembly code that we use to pass the pt_regs pointer to C code. We extend that code to also set the link register to point to a spot a few instructions after the usual syscall return address so we don't clobber the saved r0. Now it no longer matters what the rt_sigreturn syscall returns, and the pt_regs structure can be cleanly and completely reloaded. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

Previously we were just setting up the "tp" register in the new task as started by clone() in libc. However, this is not quite right, since in principle a signal might be delivered to the new task before it had its TLS set up. (Of course, this race window still exists for resetting the libc getpid() cached value in the new task, in principle. But in any case, we are now doing this exactly the way all other architectures do it.) This change is important for 2.6.37 since the tile glibc we will be submitting upstream will not set TLS in user space any more, so it will only work on a kernel that has this fix. It should also be taken for 2.6.36.x in the stable tree if possible. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com> Cc: stable <stable@kernel.org>

When we allocate address space, e.g., to assign it to a PCI device, don't allocate anything mentioned in the BIOS E820 memory map. On recent machines (2008 and newer), we assign PCI resources from the windows described by the ACPI PCI host bridge _CRS. On many Dell machines, these windows overlap some E820 reserved areas, e.g., BIOS-e820: 00000000bfe4dc00 - 00000000c0000000 (reserved) pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0xbff00000-0xdfffffff] If we put devices at 0xbff00000, they don't work, probably because that's really RAM, not I/O memory. This patch prevents that by removing the 0xbfe4dc00-0xbfffffff area from the "available" resource. I'm not very happy with this solution because Windows solves the problem differently (it seems to ignore E820 reserved areas and it allocates top-down instead of bottom-up; details at comment 45 of the bugzilla below). That means we're vulnerable to BIOS defects that Windows would not trip over. For example, if BIOS described a device in ACPI but didn't mention it in E820, Windows would work fine but Linux would fail. Reference: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16228Acked-by: H.

This implements arch_remove_reservations() so allocate_resource() can avoid any arch-specific reserved areas. This currently just avoids the BIOS area (the first 1MB), but could be used for E820 reserved areas if that turns out to be necessary. We previously avoided this area in pcibios_align_resource(). This patch moves the test from that PCI-specific path to a generic path, so *all* resource allocations will avoid this area. Acked-by: H.

Bjorn Helgaas authored
This adds arch_remove_reservations(), which an arch can implement if it needs to protect part of the address space from allocation. Sometimes that can be done by just putting a region in the resource tree, but there are cases where that doesn't work well. For example, x86 BIOS E820 reservations are not related to devices, so they may overlap part of, all of, or more than a device resource, so they may not end up at the correct spot in the resource tree.

I wrote this quirk awhile ago to properly setup MCP55 chips on hypertransport busses so that interrupts reached whatever cpu happend to boot the kdump kernel. while that works well, it was recently shown to me that a a non-hypertransport variant of the MCP55 exists, and on those system the register that this quirk manipulates causes hangs if you write to it. Since the quirk was only meant to handle errors found on MCP55 chips that have a HT interface, this patch adds a filter to make sure the chip is an HT capable before making the needed register adjustment. This lets the broken MCP55s work with kdump while not breaking the non-HT variants. Resolves https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23952 Tested successfully by the reporter and myself.

I am about to commit: http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2010-10/msg00033.html that fixes a problem with the LD/SD macro currently implemented by GAS for the o32 ABI in an inconsistent way. This is best illustrated with a simple program, which I'm copying here from the message above for easier reference: $ cat ld.s ld $5,32767($4) ld $5,32768($4) This gets assebled into the following output: $ mips-linux-as -32 -mips3 -o ld.o ld.s $ mips-linux-objdump -d ld.o ld.o: file format elf32-tradbigmips Disassembly of section .text: 00000000 <.text>: 0: dc857fff ld a1,32767(a0) 4: 3c010001 lui at,0x1 8: 00810821 addu at,a0,at c: 8c258000 lw a1,-32768(at) 10: 8c268004 lw a2,-32764(at) ... Oops! The GAS fix makes the macro behave in a consistent way and pairs of LW/SW instructions to be output as appropriate regardless of the size of the offset associated with the address used. The machine instruction is still available, but to reach it macros have to be disabled first. This has a side effect of requiring the use of a machine-addressable memory operand. As some platforms require 64-bit operations for accesses to some I/O registers LD/SD instructions are used in a couple of places in Linux regardless of the ABI selected. Here's a fix for some pieces of code affected I've been able to track down. The fix should be backwards compatible with all supported binutils releases in existence and can be used as a reference for any other places or off-tree code. The use of the "R" constraint guarantees a machine-addressable operand. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

The nvram_get function was never in the mainline kernel, it only existed in an external OpenWrt patch. Use nvram_getenv function, which is in mainline and use an include instead of an extra function declaration. et0macaddr contains the mac address in text from like 00:11:22:33:44:55. We have to parse it before adding it into macaddr. nvram_parse_macaddr will be merged into asm/mach-bcm47xx/nvram.h through the MIPS git tree and will be available soon. It will not build now without nvram_parse_macaddr, but it hasn't before either.
