The MIPS processor is limited to 64 external interrupt sources. Using a greater number without IRQ sharing requires reading platform-specific registers. On such platforms, reading the IntCtl register to determine which interrupt corresponds to a timer interrupt will not work. On MIPSR2 systems there is a solution - the TI bit in the Cause register, specifically indicates that a timer interrupt has occured. This patch uses that bit to detect interrupts for MIPSR2 processors, which may be expected to work regardless of how the timer interrupt may be routed in the hardware.

Pre-compute addresses for the basic ASIC registers. This speeds up access and allows memory for unused configurations to be freed. In addition, uninitialized register addresses will be returned as NULL to catch bad usage quickly.

POSIX requires $((<expression>)) arithmetic in sh only to have long arithmetic so on 32-bit sh binaries might do only 32-bit arithmetic but the arithmetic done in arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile needs 64-bit. I play with the AR7 platform, so VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS is 0xffffffff94100000, and for an example 4MiB kernel VMLINUZ_LOAD_ADDRESS is made out to be: ---- alex@berk:~$ bash -c 'printf "%x\n" $((0xffffffff94100000 + 0x400000))' ffffffff94500000 alex@berk:~$ dash -c 'printf "%x\n" $((0xffffffff94100000 + 0x400000))' 80000000003fffff ---- The former is obviously correct whilst the later breaks things royally. Fortunately working with only the lower 32bit's works for both bash and dash: ---- $ bash -c 'printf "%x\n" $((0x94100000 + 0x400000))' 94500000 $ dash -c 'printf "%x\n" $((0x94100000 + 0x400000))' 94500000 ---- So, we can split the original 64bit string to two parts, and only calculate the low 32bit part, which is big enough (1GiB kernel sizes anyone?) for a normal Linux kernel image file, now, we calculate the VMLINUZ_LOAD_ADDRESS like this: 1. if present, append top 32bit of VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS" as a prefix 2. get the sum of the low 32bit of VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS + VMLINUX_SIZE This patch fixes vmlinuz kernel builds on systems where only a 32bit-only math shell is available. Patch Changelog: Version 2 - simplified method by using 'expr' for 'substr' and making it work with dash once again Version 1 - Revert the removals of '-n "$(VMLINUX_SIZE)"' to avoid the error of "make clean" - Consider more cases of the VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS Version 0 - initial release Signed-off-by: Alexander Clouter <alex@digriz.org.uk> Acked-by: Wu Zhangjin <wuzhangjin@gmail.com> Patchwork: http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/861/Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

Having missed the ENOMEM return via i915_gem_fault(), there are probably other paths that I also missed. By not enabling NORETRY by default these paths can run the shrinker and take memory from the system (but not from our own inactive lists because our shrinker can not run whilst we hold the struct mutex) and this may allow the system to survive a little longer whilst our drivers consume all available memory.

Unsurprisingly, Texas Instruments TSB43AB23 exhibits the same behaviour as TSB43AB22/A in dual buffer IR DMA mode: If descriptors are located at physical addresses above the 31 bit address range (2 GB), the controller will overwrite random memory. With luck, this merely prevents video reception. With only a little less luck, the machine crashes. We use the same workaround here as with TSB43AB22/A: Switch off the dual buffer capability flag and use packet-per-buffer IR DMA instead. Another possible workaround would be to limit the coherent DMA mask to 31 bits. In Linux 2.6.33, this change serves effectively only as documentation since dual buffer mode is not used for any controller anymore. But somebody might want to re-enable it in the future to make use of features of dual buffer DMA that are not available in packet-per-buffer mode. In Linux 2.6.32 and older, this update is vital for anyone with this controller, more than 2 GB RAM, a 64 bit kernel, and FireWire video or audio applications.

It's a simplified 'read_cache_page()' which takes a page allocation flag, so that different paths can control how aggressive the memory allocations are that populate a address space. In particular, the intel GPU object mapping code wants to be able to do a certain amount of own internal memory management by automatically shrinking the address space when memory starts getting tight. This allows it to dynamically use different memory allocation policies on a per-allocation basis, rather than depend on the (static) address space gfp policy. The actual new function is a one-liner, but re-organizing the helper functions to the point where you can do this with a single line of code is what most of the patch is all about.

Commit db5d247a "firewire: fix use of multiple AV/C devices, allow multiple FCP listeners" introduced a regression into 2.6.33-rc3: The core freed payloads of incoming requests to FCP_Request or FCP_Response before a userspace driver accessed them. We need to copy such payloads for each registered userspace client and free the copies according to the lifetime rules of non-FCP client request resources. (This could possibly be optimized by reference counts instead of copies.) The presently only kernelspace driver which listens for FCP requests, firedtv, was not affected because it already copies FCP frames into an own buffer before returning to firewire-core's FCP handler dispatcher.

Stefan Richter authored
Presently, firewire-core only checks whether descriptors that are to be added by userspace drivers to the local node's config ROM do not exceed a size of 256 quadlets. However, the sum of the bare minimum ROM plus all descriptors (from firewire-core, from firewire-net, from userspace) must not exceed 256 quadlets. Otherwise, the bounds of a statically allocated buffer will be overwritten. If the kernel survives that, firewire-core will subsequently be unable to parse the local node's config ROM. (Note, userspace drivers can add descriptors only through device files of local nodes. These are usually only accessible by root, unlike device files of remote nodes which may be accessible to lesser privileged users.) Therefore add a test which takes the actual present and required ROM size into account for all descriptors of kernelspace and userspace drivers.

Herbert Xu authored
I have seen RX stalls on a machine that experienced a suspected OOM. After the stall, the RX buffer is empty on the guest side and there are exactly 16 entries available on the host side. As the number of entries is less than that required by a maximal skb, the host cannot proceed. The guest did not have a refill job scheduled. My diagnosis is that an OOM had occured, with the delayed refill job scheduled. The job was able to allocate at least one skb, but not enough to overcome the minimum required by the host to proceed. As the refill job would only reschedule itself if it failed completely to allocate any skbs, this would lead to an RX stall. The following patch removes this stall possibility by always rescheduling the refill job until the ring is totally refilled. Testing has shown that the RX stall no longer occurs whereas previously it would occur within a day.

The low-level MCDI code always uses 32-bit MMIO operations, and callers must pad input and output buffers to multiples of 4 bytes. The MCDI NVRAM functions are not doing this. Also, their buffers are declared as variable-length arrays with no explicit maximum length. Switch to a fixed buffer size based on the chunk size used by the MTD driver (which is a multiple of 4).

Due to a hardware bug in the SFC9000 family, the firmware must transfer raw GMAC statistics to host memory before aggregating them into the cooked (speed-independent) MAC statistics. Extend the stats buffer to support this. The length of the buffer is explicit in the MAC_STATS command, so this change is backward-compatible on both sides.
