__find_resource() incorrectly returns a resource window which overlaps an existing allocated window. This happens when the parent's resource-window spans 0x00000000 to 0xffffffff and is entirely allocated to all its children resource-windows. __find_resource() looks for gaps in resource allocation among the children resource windows. When it encounters the last child window it blindly tries the range next to one allocated to the last child. Since the last child's window ends at 0xffffffff the calculation overflows, leading the algorithm to believe that any window in the range 0x0000000 to 0xfffffff is available for allocation. This leads to a conflicting window allocation. Michal Ludvig reported this issue seen on his platform. The following patch fixes the problem and has been verified by Michal. I believe this bug has been there for ages.

Apple Quad G5 has some oddity in it's device-tree which causes the new generic matching code to fail to relate nodes for PCI-E devices below U4 with their respective struct pci_dev. This breaks graphics on those machines among others. This fixes it using a quirk which copies the node pointer from the host bridge for the root complex, which makes the generic code work for the children afterward.

Commit d5767c53 ("bootup: move 'usermodehelper_enable()' to the end of do_basic_setup()") moved 'usermodehelper_enable()' to end of do_basic_setup() to after the initcalls. But then I get failed to let uvesafb work on my computer, and lose the splash boot. So maybe we could start usermodehelper_enable a little early to make some task work that need eary init with the help of user mode. [ I would *really* prefer that initcalls not call into user space - even the real 'init' hasn't been execve'd yet, after all! But for uvesafb it really does look like we don't have much choice. I considered doing this when we mount the root filesystem, but depending on config options that is in multiple places. We could do the usermode helper enable as a rootfs_initcall().. So I'm just using wang yanqing's trivial patch. It's not wonderful, but it's simple and should work. We should revisit this some day, though. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

In the OF 'translations' property, the template TTEs in the mappings never specify the executable bit. This is the case even though some of these mappings are for OF's code segment. Therefore, we need to force the execute bit on in every mapping. This problem can only really trigger on Niagara/sun4v machines and the history behind this is a little complicated. Previous to sun4v, the sun4u TTE entries lacked a hardware execute permission bit. So OF didn't have to ever worry about setting anything to handle executable pages. Any valid TTE loaded into the I-TLB would be respected by the chip. But sun4v Niagara chips have a real hardware enforced executable bit in their TTEs. So it has to be set or else the I-TLB throws an instruction access exception with type code 6 (protection violation). We've been extremely fortunate to not get bitten by this in the past. The best I can tell is that the OF's mappings for it's executable code were mapped using permanent locked mappings on sun4v in the past. Therefore, the fact that we didn't have the exec bit set in the OF translations we would use did not matter in practice. Thanks to Greg Onufer for helping me track this down. Signed-off-by: David S.

It is possible for the CPU that noted the end of the prior grace period to not need a new one, and therefore to decide to propagate ->completed throughout the rcu_node tree without starting another grace period. However, in so doing, it releases the root rcu_node structure's lock, which can allow some other CPU to start another grace period. The first CPU will be propagating ->completed in parallel with the second CPU initializing the rcu_node tree for the new grace period. In theory this is harmless, but in practice we need to keep things simple. This commit therefore moves the propagation of ->completed to rcu_report_qs_rsp(), and refrains from marking the old grace period as having been completed until it has finished doing this. This prevents anyone from starting a new grace period concurrently with marking the old grace period as having been completed. Of course, the optimization where a CPU needing a new grace period doesn't bother marking the old one completed is still in effect: In that case, the marking happens implicitly as part of initializing the new grace period.

The purpose of rcu_needs_cpu_flush() was to iterate on pushing the current grace period in order to help the current CPU enter dyntick-idle mode. However, this can result in failures if the CPU starts entering dyntick-idle mode, but then backs out. In this case, the call to rcu_pending() from rcu_needs_cpu_flush() might end up announcing a non-existing quiescent state. This commit therefore removes rcu_needs_cpu_flush() in favor of letting the dyntick-idle machinery at the end of the softirq handler push the loop along via its call to rcu_pending().

Create a separate lockdep class for the rt_mutex used for RCU priority boosting and enable use of rt_mutex_lock() with irqs disabled. This prevents RCU priority boosting from falling prey to deadlocks when someone begins an RCU read-side critical section in preemptible state, but releases it with an irq-disabled lock held. Unfortunately, the scheduler's runqueue and priority-inheritance locks still must either completely enclose or be completely enclosed by any overlapping RCU read-side critical section.

It is possible for an RCU CPU stall to end just as it is detected, in which case the current code will uselessly dump all CPU's stacks. This commit therefore checks for this condition and refrains from sending needless NMIs. And yes, the stall might also end just after we checked all CPUs and tasks, but in that case we would at least have given some clue as to which CPU/task was at fault. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Greater use of RCU during early boot (before the scheduler is operating) is causing RCU to attempt to start grace periods during that time, which in turn is resulting in both RCU and the callback functions attempting to use the scheduler before it is ready.

There isn't a whole lot of point in poking the scheduler before there are other tasks to switch to.

The trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() function is a no-op in architectures that do not define arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace. On such architectures, RCU CPU stall warning messages contain no stack trace information, which makes debugging quite difficult. This commit therefore substitutes dump_stack() for architectures that do not define arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace, so that at least the local CPU's stack is dumped as part of the RCU CPU stall warning message.

Recent changes to gcc give warning messages on rcu_assign_pointers()'s checks that allow it to determine when it is OK to omit the memory barrier. Stephen Hemminger tried a number of gcc tricks to silence this warning, but #pragmas and CPP macros do not work together in the way that would be required to make this work. However, we now have RCU_INIT_POINTER(), which already omits this memory barrier, and which therefore may be used when assigning NULL to an RCU-protected pointer that is accessible to readers. This commit therefore makes rcu_assign_pointer() unconditionally emit the memory barrier.

The in_irq() check in rcu_enter_nohz() is redundant because if we really are in an interrupt, the attempt to re-enter dyntick-idle mode will invoke rcu_needs_cpu() in any case, which will force the check for RCU callbacks.

When rcutorture is compiled directly into the kernel (instead of separately as a module), it is necessary to specify rcutorture.stat_interval as a kernel command-line parameter, otherwise, the rcu_torture_stats kthread is never started.

There is often a delay between the time that a CPU passes through a quiescent state and the time that this quiescent state is reported to the RCU core. It is quite possible that the grace period ended before the quiescent state could be reported, for example, some other CPU might have deduced that this CPU passed through dyntick-idle mode. It is critically important that quiescent state be counted only against the grace period that was in effect at the time that the quiescent state was detected. Previously, this was handled by recording the number of the last grace period to complete when passing through a quiescent state. The RCU core then checks this number against the current value, and rejects the quiescent state if there is a mismatch. However, one additional possibility must be accounted for, namely that the quiescent state was recorded after the prior grace period completed but before the current grace period started. In this case, the RCU core must reject the quiescent state, but the recorded number will match. This is handled when the CPU becomes aware of a new grace period -- at that point, it invalidates any prior quiescent state. This works, but is a bit indirect. The new approach records the current grace period, and the RCU core checks to see (1) that this is still the current grace period and (2) that this grace period has not yet ended. This approach simplifies reasoning about correctness, and this commit changes over to this new approach. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
