Add shadow interrupt-mask register which can be used on SoCs where the actual hardware register is broken. Note that some care needs to be taken to make sure the shadow mask corresponds to the actual hardware state. The added overhead is not an issue for the non-broken SoCs due to the relatively infrequent interrupt-mask updates. We do, however, only use the shadow mask value as a fall-back when it actually needed as there is still a theoretical possibility that the mask is incorrect (see the code for details). Signed-off-by:

The members of Atmel's at91sam9x5 family (9x5) have a broken RTC interrupt mask register (AT91_RTC_IMR). It does not reflect enabled interrupts but instead always returns zero. The kernel's rtc-at91rm9200 driver handles the RTC for the 9x5 family. Currently when the date/time is set, an interrupt is generated and this driver neglects to handle the interrupt. The kernel complains about the un-handled interrupt and disables it henceforth. This not only breaks the RTC function, but since that interrupt is shared (Atmel's SYS interrupt) then other things break as well (e.g. the debug port no longer accepts characters). Tested on the at91sam9g25. Bug confirmed by Atmel. This patch (of 5): Add missing match-table compile guard. Signed-off-by:

read_swap_cache_async() can race against get_swap_page(), and stumble across a SWAP_HAS_CACHE entry in the swap map whose page wasn't brought into the swapcache yet. This transient swap_map state is expected to be transitory, but the actual placement of discard at scan_swap_map() inserts a wait for I/O completion thus making the thread at read_swap_cache_async() to loop around its -EEXIST case, while the other end at get_swap_page() is scheduled away at scan_swap_map(). This can leave the system deadlocked if the I/O completion happens to be waiting on the CPU waitqueue where read_swap_cache_async() is busy looping and !CONFIG_PREEMPT. This patch introduces a cond_resched() call to make the aforementioned read_swap_cache_async() busy loop condition to bail out when necessary, thus avoiding the subtle race window. Signed-off-by:

When booted in legacy mode device_init_wakeup() gets called by drivers/mfd/twl-core.c when the children are initialized. However, when booted using device tree, the children are created with of_platform_populate() instead add_children(). This means that the RTC driver will not have device_init_wakeup() set, and we need to call it from the driver probe like RTC drivers typically do. Without this we cannot test PM wake-up events on omaps for cases where there may not be any physical wake-up event. Signed-off-by:

audit_log_start() does wait_for_auditd() in a loop until audit_backlog_wait_time passes or audit_skb_queue has a room. If signal_pending() is true this becomes a busy-wait loop, schedule() in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE won't block. Thanks to Guy for fully investigating and explaining the problem.

During resume, we call hpet_rtc_timer_init after masking an irq bit in hpet. This will cause the call to hpet_disable_rtc_channel to be undone if RTC_AIE is the only bit not masked. Allowing the cmos interrupt handler to run before resuming caused some issues where the timer for the alarm was not removed. This would cause other, later timers to not be cleared, so utilities such as hwclock would time out when waiting for the update interrupt.

The dmesg_restrict sysctl currently covers the syslog method for access dmesg, however /dev/kmsg isn't covered by the same protections. Most people haven't noticed because util-linux dmesg(1) defaults to using the syslog method for access in older versions. With util-linux dmesg(1) defaults to reading directly from /dev/kmsg. To fix /dev/kmsg, let's compare the existing interfaces and what they allow: - /proc/kmsg allows: - open (SYSLOG_ACTION_OPEN) if CAP_SYSLOG since it uses a destructive single-reader interface (SYSLOG_ACTION_READ). - everything, after an open. - syslog syscall allows: - anything, if CAP_SYSLOG. - SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL and SYSLOG_ACTION_SIZE_BUFFER, if dmesg_restrict==0. - nothing else (EPERM). The use-cases were: - dmesg(1) needs to do non-destructive SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALLs. - sysklog(1) needs to open /proc/kmsg, drop privs, and still issue the destructive SYSLOG_ACTION_READs. AIUI, dmesg(1) is moving to /dev/kmsg, and systemd-journald doesn't clear the ring buffer. Based on the comments in devkmsg_llseek, it sounds like actions besides reading aren't going to be supported by /dev/kmsg (i.e. SYSLOG_ACTION_CLEAR), so we have a strict subset of the non-destructive syslog syscall actions. To this end, move the check as Josh had done, but also rename the constants to reflect their new uses (SYSLOG_FROM_CALL becomes SYSLOG_FROM_READER, and SYSLOG_FROM_FILE becomes SYSLOG_FROM_PROC). SYSLOG_FROM_READER allows non-destructive actions, and SYSLOG_FROM_PROC allows destructive actions after a capabilities-constrained SYSLOG_ACTION_OPEN check. - /dev/kmsg allows: - open if CAP_SYSLOG or dmesg_restrict==0 - reading/polling, after open Addresses https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=903192 [akpm@linux-foundation.org: use pr_warn_once()] Signed-off-by:Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Reported-by:

We recently noticed that reboot of a 1024 cpu machine takes approx 16 minutes of just stopping the cpus. The slowdown was tracked to commit f96972f2 ("kernel/sys.c: call disable_nonboot_cpus() in kernel_restart()"). The current implementation does all the work of hot removing the cpus before halting the system. We are switching to just migrating to the boot cpu and then continuing with shutdown/reboot. This also has the effect of not breaking x86's command line parameter for specifying the reboot cpu. Note, this code was shamelessly copied from arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c with bits removed pertaining to the reboot_cpu command line parameter. Signed-off-by:

The stop machine logic can lock up if all but one of the migration threads make it through the disable-irq step and the one remaining thread gets stuck in __do_softirq. The reason __do_softirq can hang is that it has a bail-out based on jiffies timeout, but in the lockup case, jiffies itself is not incremented. To work around this, re-add the max_restart counter in __do_irq and stop processing irqs after 10 restarts. Thanks to Tejun Heo and Rusty Russell and others for helping me track this down. This was introduced in 3.9 by commit c10d7367 ("softirq: reduce latencies"). It may be worth looking into ath9k to see if it has issues with its irq handler at a later date.

Commit 10a7a077 ("xen: tmem: enable Xen tmem shim to be built/loaded as a module") allows the tmem module to be loaded any time. For this work the frontswap API had to be able to asynchronously to call tmem_frontswap_init before or after the swap image had been set. That was added in git commit 905cd0e1 ("mm: frontswap: lazy initialization to allow tmem backends to build/run as modules"). Which means we could do this (The common case): modprobe tmem [so calls frontswap_register_ops, no ->init] modifies tmem_frontswap_poolid = -1 swapon /dev/xvda1 [__frontswap_init, calls -> init, tmem_frontswap_poolid is < 0 so tmem hypercall done] Or the failing one: swapon /dev/xvda1 [calls __frontswap_init, sets the need_init bitmap] modprobe tmem [calls frontswap_register_ops, -->init calls, finds out tmem_frontswap_poolid is 0, does not make a hypercall. Later in the module_init, sets tmem_frontswap_poolid=-1] Which meant that in the failing case we would not call the hypercall to initialize the pool and never be able to make any frontswap backend calls. Moving the frontswap_register_ops after setting the tmem_frontswap_poolid fixes it. Signed-off-by:

Pull ARM fixes from Russell King: "The biggest two fixes are fixing a compilation error with the decompressor, and a problem with our __my_cpu_offset implementation. Other changes are very trivial and small, which seems to be the way for most -rc stuff." * 'fixes' of git://git.linaro.org/people/rmk/linux-arm: ARM: 7747/1: pcpu: ensure __my_cpu_offset cannot be re-ordered across barrier() ARM: 7750/1: update legacy CPU ID in decompressor cache support jump table ARM: 7743/1: compressed/head.S: work around new binutils warning ARM: 7742/1: topology: export cpu_topology ARM: 7737/1: fix kernel decompressor compilation error with CONFIG_DEBUG_SEMIHOSTING

In commit 59affcd3 I added context switching of more PMU SPRs, because they are potentially exposed to userspace on Power8. However despite me being a smart arse in the commit message it's actually not correct. In particular it interacts badly with a global perf record. We will have to do something more complicated, but that will have to wait for 3.11. Signed-off-by:

In commit bc09c219 "Fix finding overflowed PMC in interrupt" we added a printk() to the PMU exception handler. Unfortunately that is not safe. The problem is that the PMU exception may run even when interrupts are soft disabled, aka NMI context. We do this so that we can profile parts of the kernel that have interrupts soft-disabled. But by calling printk() from the exception handler, we can potentially deadlock in the printk code on logbuf_lock, eg: [c00000038ba575c0] c000000000081928 .vprintk_emit+0xa8/0x540 [c00000038ba576a0] c0000000007bcde8 .printk+0x48/0x58 [c00000038ba57710] c000000000076504 .perf_event_interrupt+0x2d4/0x490 [c00000038ba57810] c00000000001f6f8 .performance_monitor_exception+0x48/0x60 [c00000038ba57880] c0000000000032cc performance_monitor_common+0x14c/0x180 --- Exception: f01 (Performance Monitor) at c0000000007b25d4 ._raw_spin_lock_irq +0x64/0xc0 [c00000038ba57bf0] c00000000007ed90 .devkmsg_read+0xd0/0x5a0 [c00000038ba57d00] c0000000001c2934 .vfs_read+0xc4/0x1e0 [c00000038ba57d90] c0000000001c2cd8 .SyS_read+0x58/0xd0 [c00000038ba57e30] c000000000009d54 syscall_exit+0x0/0x98 --- Exception: c01 (System Call) at 00001fffffbf6f7c SP (3ffff6d4de10) is in userspace Fix it by making sure we only call printk() when we are not in NMI context.

When introducing support for DABRX in 4474ef05, we broke older 32-bit CPUs that don't have that register. Some CPUs have a DABR but not DABRX. Configuration are: - No 32bit CPUs have DABRX but some have DABR. - POWER4+ and below have the DABR but no DABRX. - 970 and POWER5 and above have DABR and DABRX. - POWER8 has DAWR, hence no DABRX. This introduces CPU_FTR_DABRX and sets it on appropriate CPUs. We use the top 64 bits for CPU FTR bits since only 64 bit CPUs have this. Processors that don't have the DABRX will still work as they will fall back to software filtering these breakpoints via perf_exclude_event(). Signed-off-by:

POWER8 can take a denormalisation exception on any VSX registers. This does the extra 32 VSX registers we don't currently handle. Signed-off-by:

The following simplifies the denorm code by using macros to generate the long stream of almost identical instructions. This patch results in no changes to the output binary, but removes a lot of lines of code. Signed-off-by:

In 2ac6f427 powerpc/cputable: Fix oprofile_cpu_type on power8 we broke all power8 hw events. This reverts this change and uses oprofile_type instead. Perf now works on POWER8 again and oprofile will revert to using timers on POWER8. Kudos to mpe this fix. Signed-off-by:
