Pull ACPI fixes from Rafael Wysocki: - Fix for a regression causing a failure to turn on some devices on some systems during initialization introduced by a recent revert of an ACPI PM change that broke something else. Fortunately, we know exactly what devices are affected, so we can add a fix just for them leaving everyone else alone. - ACPI power resources initialization fix preventing a NULL pointer from being dereferenced in the acpi_add_power_resource() error code path. - ACPI dock station driver fix that adds missing locking to write_undock(). - ACPI resources allocation fix changing the scope of an old workaround so that it doesn't affect systems that aren't actually buggy. This was reported a couple of days ago to fix DMA problems on some new platforms so we need it in -stable.

The following change fixes the x86 implementation of trigger_all_cpu_backtrace(), which was previously (accidentally, as far as I can tell) disabled to always return false as on architectures that do not implement this function. trigger_all_cpu_backtrace(), as defined in include/linux/nmi.h, should call arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() if available, or return false if the underlying arch doesn't implement this function. x86 did provide a suitable arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() implementation, but it wasn't actually being used because it was declared in asm/nmi.h, which linux/nmi.h doesn't include. Also, linux/nmi.h couldn't easily be fixed by including asm/nmi.h, because that file is not available on all architectures. I am proposing to fix this by moving the x86 definition of arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() to asm/irq.h. Tested via: echo l > /proc/sysrq-trigger Before the change, this uses a fallback implementation which shows backtraces on active CPUs (using smp_call_function_interrupt() ) After the change, this shows NMI backtraces on all CPUs Signed-off-by: Michel Lespinasse <walken@google.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1370518875-1346-1-git-send-email-walken@google.comSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

Book3E uses the hugepd at PMD level and don't encode pte directly at the pmd level. So it will find the lower bits of pmd set and the pmd_bad check throws error. Infact the current code will never take the free_hugepd_range call at all because it will clear the pmd if it find a hugepd pointer. Fix this by clearing bad pmd only if it is not a hugepd pointer.

Commit 7cd8407d (ACPI / PM: Do not execute _PS0 for devices without _PSC during initialization) introduced a regression on some systems with Intel Lynxpoint Low-Power Subsystem (LPSS) where some devices need to be powered up during initialization, but their device objects in the ACPI namespace have _PS0 and _PS3 only (without _PSC or power resources). To work around this problem, make the ACPI LPSS driver power up devices it knows about by using a new helper function acpi_device_fix_up_power() that does all of the necessary sanity checks and calls acpi_dev_pm_explicit_set() to put the device into D0.

Commit 781d737c (ACPI: Drop power resources driver) introduced a bug in the power resources initialization error code path causing a NULL pointer to be referenced in acpi_release_power_resource() if there's an error triggering a jump to the 'err' label in acpi_add_power_resource(). This happens because the list_node field of struct acpi_power_resource has not been initialized yet at this point and doing a list_del() on it is a bad idea. To prevent this problem from occuring, initialize the list_node field of struct acpi_power_resource upfront.

Since commit 3757b948 (ACPI / hotplug: Fix concurrency issues and memory leaks) acpi_bus_scan() and acpi_bus_trim() must always be called under acpi_scan_lock, but currently the following scenario violating that requirement is possible: write_undock() handle_eject_request() hotplug_dock_devices() dock_remove_acpi_device() acpi_bus_trim() Fix that by making write_undock() acquire acpi_scan_lock before calling handle_eject_request() as appropriate (begin_undock() is under the lock too in analogy with acpi_dock_deferred_cb()).

acpi_get_override_irq() was added because there was a problem with buggy BIOSes passing wrong IRQ() resource for the RTC IRQ. The commit that added the workaround was 61fd47e0 (ACPI: fix two IRQ8 issues in IOAPIC mode). With ACPI 5 enumerated devices there are typically one or more extended IRQ resources per device (and these IRQs can be shared). However, the acpi_get_override_irq() workaround forces all IRQs in range 0 - 15 (the legacy ISA IRQs) to be edge triggered, active high as can be seen from the dmesg below: ACPI: IRQ 6 override to edge, high ACPI: IRQ 7 override to edge, high ACPI: IRQ 7 override to edge, high ACPI: IRQ 13 override to edge, high Also /proc/interrupts for the I2C controllers (INT33C2 and INT33C3) shows the same thing: 7: 4 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge INT33C2:00, INT33C3:00 The _CSR method for INT33C2 (and INT33C3) device returns following resource: Interrupt (ResourceConsumer, Level, ActiveLow, Shared,,, ) { 0x00000007, } which states that this is supposed to be level triggered, active low, shared IRQ instead. Fix this by making sure that acpi_get_override_irq() gets only called when we are dealing with legacy IRQ() or IRQNoFlags() descriptors. While we are there, correct pr_warning() to print the right triggering value. This change turns out to be necessary to make DMA work correctly on systems based on the Intel Lynxpoint PCH (Platform Controller Hub).

We are in the process of removing all the __cpuinit annotations. While working on making that change, an existing problem was made evident: WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x198f2): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpu_init() to the function .init.text:load_ucode_ap() The function cpu_init() references the function __init load_ucode_ap(). This is often because cpu_init lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of load_ucode_ap is wrong. This now appears because in my working tree, cpu_init() is no longer tagged as __cpuinit, and so the audit picks up the mismatch. The 2nd hypothesis from the audit is the correct one, as there was an incorrect __init tag on the prototype in the header (but __cpuinit was used on the function itself.) The audit is telling us that the prototype's __init annotation took effect and the function did land in the .init.text section. Checking with objdump on a mainline tree that still has __cpuinit shows that the __cpuinit on the function takes precedence over the __init on the prototype, but that won't be true once we make __cpuinit a no-op. Even though we are removing __cpuinit, we temporarily align both the function and the prototype on __cpuinit so that the changeset can be applied to stable trees if desired.

Because the function tracer does a preempt_disable/enable_notrace() calls the preempt_enable_notrace() checks the NEED_RESCHED flag. If it is set, then preempt_schedule() is called. But this is called before the user_exit() function can inform the kernel that the CPU is no longer in user mode and needs to be accounted for by RCU. The fix is to create a new preempt_schedule_context() that checks if the kernel is still in user mode and if so to switch it to kernel mode before calling schedule. It also switches back to user mode coming back from schedule in need be. The only user of this currently is the preempt_enable_notrace(), which is only used by the tracing subsystem.

I have faced a sequence where the Idle Load Balance was sometime not triggered for a while on my platform, in the following scenario: CPU 0 and CPU 1 are running tasks and CPU 2 is idle CPU 1 kicks the Idle Load Balance CPU 1 selects CPU 2 as the new Idle Load Balancer CPU 2 sets NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK for CPU 2 CPU 2 sends a reschedule IPI to CPU 2 While CPU 3 wakes up, CPU 0 or CPU 1 migrates a waking up task A on CPU 2 CPU 2 finally wakes up, runs task A and discards the Idle Load Balance task A quickly goes back to sleep (before a tick occurs on CPU 2) CPU 2 goes back to idle with NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK set Whenever CPU 2 will be selected as the ILB, no reschedule IPI will be sent because NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK is already set and no Idle Load Balance will be performed. We must wait for the sched softirq to be raised on CPU 2 thanks to another part the kernel to come back to clear NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK. The proposed solution clears NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK in schedule_ipi if we can't raise the sched_softirq for the Idle Load Balance. Change since V1: - move the clear of NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK in got_nohz_idle_kick if the ILB can't run on this CPU (as suggested by Peter) Signed-off-by: Vincent Guittot <vincent.guittot@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1370419991-13870-1-git-send-email-vincent.guittot@linaro.orgSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

Change the code to destroy the buffer on the last munmap() and detach all redirected events at that time. This provides us the right context to undo the vm accounting.

kernel might hung in pvclock_clocksource_read() due to uninitialized memory might contain odd version value in following cycle: do { version = __pvclock_read_cycles(src, &ret, &flags); } while ((src->version & 1) || version != src->version); if secondary kvmclock is accessed before it's registered with kvm. Clear garbage in pvclock shared memory area right after it's allocated to avoid this issue.

kwmppc_lazy_ee_enable() should be called as late as possible, or else we get things like WARN_ON(preemptible()) in enable_kernel_fp() in configurations where preemptible() works. Note that book3s_pr already waits until just before __kvmppc_vcpu_run to call kvmppc_lazy_ee_enable().

This fixes a race where a cpu may re-load a tlb from a stale tsb right after it has been flushed by a remote function call. I still see some instability when stressing the system with parallel kernel builds while creating memory pressure by writing to /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages, but this patch improves the stability significantly.

Commit 75096579 ("lib: devres: Introduce devm_ioremap_resource()") introduced devm_ioremap_resource() and deprecated the use of devm_request_and_ioremap(). While at it, also remove the error message as devm_ioremap_resource() also prints similar error message.

The Machine Description (MD) property "address-congruence-offset" is optional. According to the MD specification the value is assumed 0UL when not present. This caused early boot failure on T5.

This enables interrupts for Leon before having the CPU enter power-down mode. Commit 87fa05ae, "sparc: Use generic idle loop", gets the CPU stuck on idle for Leon systems. On Leon, disabling interrupts and powering down the processor will get the processor stuck waiting for an interrupt that will never be reacted to.
