Set the hardware to ignore all write/erase cycles to the GbE region in the ICHx NVM. This feature can be disabled by the WriteProtectNVM module parameter (enabled by default) only after a hardware reset, but the machine must be power cycled before trying to enable writes.

Fix the IRQ handling on the MN10300 arch. This patch makes a number of significant changes: (1) It separates the irq_chip definition for edge-triggered interrupts from the one for level-triggered interrupts. This is necessary because the MN10300 PIC latches the IRQ channel's interrupt request bit (GxICR_REQUEST), even after the device has ceased to assert its interrupt line and the interrupt channel has been disabled in the PIC. So for level-triggered interrupts we need to clear this bit when we re-enable - which is achieved by setting GxICR_DETECT but not GxICR_REQUEST when writing to the register. Not doing this results in spurious interrupts occurring because calling mask_ack() at the start of handle_level_irq() is insufficient - it fails to clear the REQUEST latch because the device that caused the interrupt is still asserting its interrupt line at this point. (2) IRQ disablement [irq_chip::disable_irq()] shouldn't clear the interrupt request flag for edge-triggered interrupts lest it lose an interrupt. (3) IRQ unmasking [irq_chip::unmask_irq()] also shouldn't clear the interrupt request flag for edge-triggered interrupts lest it lose an interrupt. (4) The end() operation is now left to the default (no-operation) as __do_IRQ() is compiled out. This may affect misrouted_irq(), but according to Thomas Gleixner it's the correct thing to do. (5) handle_level_irq() is used for edge-triggered interrupts rather than handle_edge_irq() as the MN10300 PIC latches interrupt events even on masked IRQ channels, thus rendering IRQ_PENDING unnecessary. It is sufficient to call mask_ack() at the start and unmask() at the end. (6) For level-triggered interrupts, ack() is now NULL as it's not used, and there is no effective ACK function on the PIC. mask_ack() is now the same as mask() as the latch continues to latch, even when the channel is masked. Further, the patch discards the disable() op implementation as its now the same as the mask() op implementation, which is used instead. It also discards the enable() op implementations as they're now the same as the unmask() op implementations, which are used instead.

Moving the path activation to workqueue along with scsi_dh patches introduced a race. It is due to the fact that the current_pgpath (in the multipath data structure) can be modified if changes happen in any of the paths leading to the lun. If the changes lead to current_pgpath being set to NULL, then it leads to the invalid access which results in the panic below. This patch fixes that by storing the pgpath to activate in the multipath data structure and properly protecting it. Note that if activate_path is called twice in succession with different pgpath, with the second one being called before the first one is done, then activate path will be called twice for the second pgpath, which is fine.

But call to sctp_sf_violation_paramlen() always with 'struct sctp_paramhdr' type's parameter, it will be passed to sctp_sf_abort_violation(). This may cause kernel panic. sctp_sf_violation_paramlen() |-- sctp_sf_abort_violation() |-- sctp_make_abort_violation() This patch fixed this problem.

I tracked down the shutdown regression to CPUs not dying when being shut down during power-off. This turns out to be due to the system_state being SYSTEM_POWER_OFF, which this code doesn't take as a valid state for shutting off CPUs in. This has never made sense to me, but when I added hotplug code to implement hibernate I only "made it work" and did not question the need to check the system_state. Thomas Gleixner helped me dig, but the only thing we found is that it was added with the original commit that added CPU hotplug support.

The PCI bridge on the Holly board is incorrectly represented in the device tree. The current device tree node for the PCI bridge sits under the tsi-bridge node. That's not obviously wrong, but the PCI bridge translates some PCI spaces into CPU address ranges which were not translated by the "ranges" property in tsi-bridge node. We used to get away with this problem because the PCI bridge discovery code was also buggy, assuming incorrectly that PCI host bridge nodes were always directly under the root bus and treating the translated addresses as raw CPU addresses, rather than parent bus addresses. This has since been fixed, thus breaking Holly. This could be fixed by adding extra translations to the tsi-bridge node, but this patch instead moves the Holly PCI bridge out of the tsi-bridge node to the root bus. This makes the tsi-bridge node represent only the built-in IO devices in the bridge, with a more-or-less contiguous address range. This is the same convention used on Freescale SoC chips, where the "soc" node represents only the IMMR region, and the PCI and other bus bridges are separate nodes under the root bus.

Initial fix for making sure that we can access percpu variables in all C code (commit: 10617bbe) inadvertantly allocated the memory in the "percpu" section of the vmlinux ELF executable. This confused kexec/dump. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

There's a race between mm->owner assignment and swapoff, more easily seen when task slab poisoning is turned on. The condition occurs when try_to_unuse() runs in parallel with an exiting task. A similar race can occur with callers of get_task_mm(), such as /proc/<pid>/<mmstats> or ptrace or page migration. CPU0 CPU1 try_to_unuse looks at mm = task0->mm increments mm->mm_users task 0 exits mm->owner needs to be updated, but no new owner is found (mm_users > 1, but no other task has task->mm = task0->mm) mm_update_next_owner() leaves mmput(mm) decrements mm->mm_users task0 freed dereferencing mm->owner fails The fix is to notify the subsystem via mm_owner_changed callback(), if no new owner is found, by specifying the new task as NULL. Jiri Slaby: mm->owner was set to NULL prior to calling cgroup_mm_owner_callbacks(), but must be set after that, so as not to pass NULL as old owner causing oops. Daisuke Nishimura: mm_update_next_owner() may set mm->owner to NULL, but mem_cgroup_from_task() and its callers need to take account of this situation to avoid oops. Hugh Dickins: Lockdep warning and hang below exec_mmap() when testing these patches. exit_mm() up_reads mmap_sem before calling mm_update_next_owner(), so exec_mmap() now needs to do the same. And with that repositioning, there's now no point in mm_need_new_owner() allowing for NULL mm.

Impact: per CPU hrtimers can be migrated from a dead CPU The hrtimer code has no knowledge about per CPU timers, but we need to prevent the migration of such timers and warn when such a timer is active at migration time. Explicitely mark the timers as per CPU and use a more understandable mode descriptor for the interrupts safe unlocked callback mode, which is used by hrtimer_sleeper and the scheduler code.

Impact: during migration active hrtimers can be seen as inactive The migration code removes the hrtimers from the queues of the dead CPU and sets the state temporary to INACTIVE. The enqueue code sets it to ACTIVE/PENDING again. Prevent that the wrong state can be seen by using a separate migration state bit. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
