CPU_HOTPLUG has race conditions when we use broadcast mode IPI. - First we introduced no_broadcast option (see include/asm-i386/mach-default/mach_ipi.h) - x86_64 solved it by using physical flat mode (same as bigsmp on i386) since this will not use broadcast shortcuts for IPI. - We switched to use bigsmp on i386 so that we can have same handling as x86_64, but apparently this caused an error message, if kernel was compiled without X86_GENERICARCH, X86_BIGSMP. The message "You have >8 CPUS..." which was bogus and misleading, and only indicated one of the above ARCH wasnt selected. So we do not switch to automatic bigsmp for HOTPLUG_CPU support in i386 until the other related config dependencies for SMP_SUSPEND etc can be done right.

If compiled into the kernel, parport_register_driver() is called before the parport driver has been initalised. This means that it is expected that tp_count is 0 after the parport_register_driver() call() - tipar's attach function will not be called until later during bootup.

There's an off-by-1 in kernel/power/main.c:state_store() ... if your kernel just happens to have some non-zero data at pm_states[PM_SUSPEND_MAX] (i.e. one past the end of the array) then it'll let you write anything you want to /sys/power/state and in response the box will enter S5.

In SLES10 (2.6.16) crash dumping (in my experience, LKCD) is unable to capture the second page of the 2-page task/stack allocation. This is particularly troublesome for dump analysis, as the stack traceback cannot be done. (A similar convention is probably needed throughout the kernel to make kernel multi-page allocations detectable for dumping) Multi-page kernel allocations are represented by the single page structure associated with the first page of the allocation. The page structures associated with the other pages are unintialized. If the dumper is selecting only kernel pages it has no way to identify any but the first page of the allocation. The fix is to make the task/stack allocation a compound page. Signed-off-by: Cliff Wickman <cpw@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

MPI programs using certain debug options have a long startup time. This was traced to a "vmalloc/vfree" in the code that reads /proc/sgi_sn/sn_topology. On large systems, vfree requires an IPI to all cpus to do TLB purging. Replace the vmalloc/vfree with kmalloc/kfree. Although the size of the structure being allocated is unknown, it will not not exceed 96 bytes. Signed-off-by: Jack Steiner <steiner@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

Proposed fix for ptep_get_and_clear_full PAE bug. Pte_clear had the same bug, so use the same fix for both. Turns out pmd_clear had it as well, but pgds are not affected. The problem is rather intricate. Page table entries in PAE mode are 64-bits wide, but the only atomic 8-byte write operation available in 32-bit mode is cmpxchg8b, which is expensive (at least on P4), and thus avoided. But it can happen that the processor may prefetch entries into the TLB in the middle of an operation which clears a page table entry. So one must always clear the P-bit in the low word of the page table entry first when clearing it. Since the sequence *ptep = __pte(0) leaves the order of the write dependent on the compiler, it must be coded explicitly as a clear of the low word followed by a clear of the high word. Further, there must be a write memory barrier here to enforce proper ordering by the compiler (and, in the future, by the processor as well). On > 4GB memory machines, the implementation of pte_clear for PAE was clearly deficient, as it could leave virtual mappings of physical memory above 4GB aliased to memory below 4GB in the TLB. The implementation of ptep_get_and_clear_full has a similar bug, although not nearly as likely to occur, since the mappings being cleared are in the process of being destroyed, and should never be dereferenced again. But, as luck would have it, it is possible to trigger bugs even without ever dereferencing these bogus TLB mappings, even if the clear is followed fairly soon after with a TLB flush or invalidation. The problem is that memory above 4GB may now be aliased into the first 4GB of memory, and in fact, may hit a region of memory with non-memory semantics. These regions include AGP and PCI space. As such, these memory regions are not cached by the processor. This introduces the bug. The processor can speculate memory operations, including memory writes, as long as they are committed with the proper ordering. Speculating a memory write to a linear address that has a bogus TLB mapping is possible. Normally, the speculation is harmless. But for cached memory, it does leave the falsely speculated cacheline unmodified, but in a dirty state. This cache line will be eventually written back. If this cacheline happens to intersect a region of memory that is not protected by the cache coherency protocol, it can corrupt data in I/O memory, which is generally a very bad thing to do, and can cause total system failure or just plain undefined behavior. These bugs are extremely unlikely, but the severity is of such magnitude, and the fix so simple that I think fixing them immediately is justified. Also, they are nearly impossible to debug.
