Blackfin's atomic primitives do not imply a full barrier as whitnessed from its SMP smp_mb__{before,after}_clear_bit() implementations. However since !SMP smp_mb() reduces to barrier() remove everything and rely on the asm-generic/barrier.h implentation. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Acked-by: Paul E.

Since the smp_mb__{before,after}*() ops are fundamentally dependent on how an arch can implement atomics it doesn't make sense to have 3 variants of them. They must all be the same. Furthermore, the 3 variants suggest they're only valid for those 3 atomic ops, while we have many more where they could be applied. So move away from smp_mb__{before,after}_{atomic,clear}_{dec,inc,bit}() and reduce the interface to just the two: smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic(). This patch prepares the way by introducing default implementations in asm-generic/barrier.h that default to a full barrier and providing __deprecated inlines for the previous 6 barriers if they're not provided by the arch. This should allow for a mostly painless transition (lots of deprecated warns in the interim). Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Acked-by: Paul E.

Corey Minyard authored
The IPMI driver would wake up periodically looking for events and watchdog pretimeouts. If there is nothing waiting for these events, it's really kind of pointless to be checking for them. So modify the driver so the message handler can pass down if it needs the lower layer to be waiting for these. Modify the system interface lower layer to turn off all timer and thread activity if the upper layer doesn't need anything and it is not currently handling messages. And modify the message handler to not restart the timer if its timer is not needed. The timers and kthread will still be enabled if: - the SI interface is handling a message. - a user has enabled watching for events. - the IPMI watchdog timer is in use (since it uses pretimeouts). - the message handler is waiting on a remote response. - a user has registered to receive commands. This mostly affects interfaces without interrupts. Interfaces with interrupts already don't use CPU in the system interface when the interface is idle.

With recent changes it is possible for the timer handler to detect an idle interface and not start the timer, but the thread to start an operation at the same time. The thread will not start the timer in that instance, resulting in the timer not running. Instead, move all timer operations under the lock and start the timer in the thread if it detect non-idle and the timer is not already running. Moving under locks allows the last timeout to be set in both the thread and the timer. 'Timer is not running' means that the timer is not pending and smi_timeout() is not running. So we need a flag to detect this correctly. Also fix a few other timeout bugs: setting the last timeout when the interrupt has to be disabled and the timer started, and setting the last timeout in check_start_timer_thread possibly racing with the timer Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard <cminyard@mvista.com> Signed-off-by: Bodo Stroesser <bstroesser@ts.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

At the moment the "Device Drivers / Graphics support" kernel config page looks rather messy, with DRM and fbdev driver selections on the same page, some on the top level Graphics support page, some under their respective subsystems. If I'm not mistaken, this is caused by the drivers depending on other things than DRM or FB, which causes Kconfig to arrange the options in not-so-neat manner. Both DRM and FB have a main menuconfig option for the whole DRM or FB subsystem. Optimally, this would be enough to arrange all DRM and FB options under the respective subsystem, but for whatever reason this doesn't work reliably. This patch adds an explicit submenu for DRM and FB, making it much clearer which options are related to FB, and which to DRM.

The drivers/video directory is a mess. It contains generic video related files, directories for backlight, console, linux logo, lots of fbdev device drivers, fbdev framework files. Make some order into the chaos by creating drivers/video/fbdev directory, and move all fbdev related files there. No functionality is changed, although I guess it is possible that some subtle Makefile build order related issue could be created by this patch.

Tony Luck authored
April 2014 Itanium processor specification update: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/itanium/itanium-specification-update.html describes this erratum: ========================================================================= 237. Under a complex set of conditions, store to load forwarding for a sub 8-byte load may complete incorrectly Problem: A load instruction may complete incorrectly when a code sequence using 4-byte or smaller load and store operations to the same address is executed in combination with specific timing of all the following concurrent conditions: store to load forwarding, alignment checking enabled, a mis-predicted branch, and complex cache utilization activity. Implication: The affected sub 8-byte instruction may complete incorrectly resulting in unpredictable system behavior. There is an extremely low probability of exposure due to the significant number of complex microarchitectural concurrent conditions required to encounter the erratum. Workaround: Set PSR.ac = 0 to completely avoid the erratum. Disabling Hyper-Threading will significantly reduce exposure to the conditions that contribute to encountering the erratum. Status: See the Summary Table of Changes for the affected steppings. ========================================================================= [Table of changes essentially lists all models from McKinley to Tukwila] The PSR.ac bit controls whether the processor will always generate an unaligned reference trap (0x5a00) for a misaligned data access (when PSR.ac=1) or if it will let the access succeed when running on a cpu that implements logic to handle some unaligned accesses. Way back in 2008 in commit b704882e [IA64] Rationalize kernel mode alignment checking we made the decision to always enable strict checking. We were already doing so in trap/interrupt context because the common preamble code set this bit - but the rest of supervisor code (and by inheritance user code) ran with PSR.ac=0. We now reverse that decision and set PSR.ac=0 everywhere in the kernel (also inherited by user processes). This will avoid the erratum using the method described in the Itanium specification update. Net effect for users is that the processor will handle unaligned access when it can (typically with a tiny performance bubble in the pipeline ... but much less invasive than taking a trap and having the OS perform the access).

Steve reported a reboot hang and bisected it back to this commit: a4f1987e x86, reboot: Add EFI and CF9 reboot methods into the default list He heroically tested all reboot methods and found the following: reboot=t # triple fault ok reboot=k # keyboard ctrl FAIL reboot=b # BIOS ok reboot=a # ACPI FAIL reboot=e # EFI FAIL [system has no EFI] reboot=p # PCI 0xcf9 FAIL And I think it's pretty obvious that we should only try PCI 0xcf9 as a last resort - if at all. The other observation is that (on this box) we should never try the PCI reboot method, but close with either the 'triple fault' or the 'BIOS' (terminal!) reboot methods. Thirdly, CF9_COND is a total misnomer - it should be something like CF9_SAFE or CF9_CAREFUL, and 'CF9' should be 'CF9_FORCE' ... So this patch fixes the worst problems: - it orders the actual reboot logic to follow the reboot ordering pattern - it was in a pretty random order before for no good reason. - it fixes the CF9 misnomers and uses BOOT_CF9_FORCE and BOOT_CF9_SAFE flags to make the code more obvious. - it tries the BIOS reboot method before the PCI reboot method. (Since 'BIOS' is a terminal reboot method resulting in a hang if it does not work, this is essentially equivalent to removing the PCI reboot method from the default reboot chain.) - just for the miraculous possibility of terminal (resulting in hang) reboot methods of triple fault or BIOS returning without having done their job, there's an ordering between them as well.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) Fix BPF filter validation of netlink attribute accesses, from Mathias Kruase. 2) Netfilter conntrack generation seqcount not initialized properly, from Andrey Vagin. 3) Fix comparison mask computation on big-endian in nft_cmp_fast(), from Patrick McHardy. 4) Properly limit MTU over ipv6, from Eric Dumazet. 5) Fix seccomp system call argument population on 32-bit, from Daniel Borkmann. 6) skb_network_protocol() should not use hard-coded ETH_HLEN, instead skb->mac_len needs to be used. From Vlad Yasevich. 7) We have several cases of using socket based communications to implement a tunnel. For example, some tunnels are encapsulations over UDP so we use an internal kernel UDP socket to do the transmits. These tunnels should behave just like other software devices and pass the packets on down to the next layer. Most importantly we want the top-level socket (eg TCP) that created the traffic to be charged for the SKB memory. However, once you get into the IP output path, we have code that assumed that whatever was attached to skb->sk is an IP socket. To keep the top-level socket being charged for the SKB memory, whilst satisfying the needs of the IP output path, we now pass in an explicit 'sk' argument. From Eric Dumazet. 8) ping_init_sock() leaks group info, from Xiaoming Wang. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (33 commits) cxgb4: use the correct max size for firmware flash qlcnic: Fix MSI-X initialization code ip6_gre: don't allow to remove the fb_tunnel_dev ipv4: add a sock pointer to dst->output() path. ipv4: add a sock pointer to ip_queue_xmit() driver/net: cosa driver uses udelay incorrectly at86rf230: fix __at86rf230_read_subreg function at86rf230: remove check if AVDD settled net: cadence: Add architecture dependencies net: Start with correct mac_len in skb_network_protocol Revert "net: sctp: Fix a_rwnd/rwnd management to reflect real state of the receiver's buffer" cxgb4: Save the correct mac addr for hw-loopback connections in the L2T net: filter: seccomp: fix wrong decoding of BPF_S_ANC_SECCOMP_LD_W seccomp: fix populating a0-a5 syscall args in 32-bit x86 BPF qlcnic: Do not disable SR-IOV when VFs are assigned to VMs qlcnic: Fix QLogic application/driver interface for virtual NIC configuration qlcnic: Fix PVID configuration on eSwitch port. qlcnic: Fix max ring count calculation qlcnic: Fix to send INIT_NIC_FUNC as first mailbox. qlcnic: Fix panic due to uninitialzed delayed_work struct in use. ...

Function qlcnic_setup_tss_rss_intr() might enter endless loop in case pci_enable_msix() contiguously returns a positive number of MSI-Xs that could have been allocated. Besides, the function contains 'err = -EIO;' assignment that never could be reached. This update fixes the aforementioned issues.

It's possible to remove the FB tunnel with the command 'ip link del ip6gre0' but this is unsafe, the module always supposes that this device exists. For example, ip6gre_tunnel_lookup() may use it unconditionally. Let's add a rtnl handler for dellink, which will never remove the FB tunnel (we let ip6gre_destroy_tunnels() do the job). Introduced by commit c12b395a ("gre: Support GRE over IPv6"). CC: Dmitry Kozlov <xeb@mail.ru> Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

In the dst->output() path for ipv4, the code assumes the skb it has to transmit is attached to an inet socket, specifically via ip_mc_output() : The sk_mc_loop() test triggers a WARN_ON() when the provider of the packet is an AF_PACKET socket. The dst->output() method gets an additional 'struct sock *sk' parameter. This needs a cascade of changes so that this parameter can be propagated from vxlan to final consumer.
