In current kernel wide source code, except other architectures, only s390 scsi drivers use atomic_clear_mask(), and arm/arm64 need not support s390 drivers. So remove atomic_clear_mask() from "arm[64]/include/asm/atomic.h".

atomic* value is signed value, and atomic* functions need also process signed value (parameter value, and return value), so 32-bit arm need use 'long long' instead of 'u64'. After replacement, it will also fix a bug for atomic64_add_negative(): "u64 is never less than 0". The modifications are: in vim, use "1,% s/\<u64\>/long long/g" command. remove '__aligned(8)' which is useless for 64-bit. be sure of 80 column limitation after replacement.

If we're running a kernel compiled with SMP_ON_UP=y and the hardware only supports UP operation there isn't any smp_cross_call function assigned. Unfortunately, we call smp_cross_call() unconditionally in arch_irq_work_raise() and crash the kernel on UP devices. Check to make sure we're running on an SMP device before calling smp_cross_call() here.

By default, IRQ work is run from the tick interrupt (see irq_work_run() in update_process_times()). When we're in full NOHZ mode, restarting the tick requires the use of IRQ work and if the only place we run IRQ work is in the tick interrupt we have an unbreakable cycle. Implement arch_irq_work_raise() via self IPIs to break this cycle and get the tick started again. Note that we implement this via IPIs which are only available on SMP builds. This shouldn't be a problem because full NOHZ is only supported on SMP builds anyway.

CPU hotplug and kexec rely on smp_ops.cpu_kill(), which is supposed to wait for the CPU to park or power down, and perform the last rites (such as disabling clocks etc., where the platform doesn't do this automatically). kexec in particular is unsafe without performing this synchronisation to park secondaries. Without it, the secondaries might not be parked when kexec trashes the kernel. There is no generic way to do this synchronisation, so a new mcpm platform_ops method power_down_finish() is added by this patch. The new method is mandatory. A platform which provides no way to detect when CPUs are parked is likely broken.

The DTB and/or the kernel command line may pass 64-bit addresses regardless of kernel configuration, so update arm_add_memory() to take 64-bit arguments independently of the phys_addr_t size.

This is the ARM part of Christoph's patchset cleaning up the various uses of __get_cpu_var across the tree. The idea is to convert __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that use the offset. Thereby address calculations are avoided and fewer registers are used when code is generated.

The memory pinning code in uaccess_with_memcpy.c does not check for HugeTLB or THP pmds, and will enter an infinite loop should a __copy_to_user or __clear_user occur against a huge page. This patch adds detection code for huge pages to pin_page_for_write. As this code can be executed in a fast path it refers to the actual pmds rather than the vma. If a HugeTLB or THP is found (they have the same pmd representation on ARM), the page table spinlock is taken to prevent modification whilst the page is pinned. On ARM, huge pages are only represented as pmds, thus no huge pud checks are performed. (For huge puds one would lock the page table in a similar manner as in the pmd case). Two helper functions are introduced; pmd_thp_or_huge will check whether or not a page is huge or transparent huge (which have the same pmd layout on ARM), and pmd_hugewillfault will detect whether or not a page fault will occur on write to the page. Running the following test (with the chunking from read_zero removed): $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=10M count=1024 Gave: 2.3 GB/s backed by normal pages, 2.9 GB/s backed by huge pages, 5.1 GB/s backed by huge pages, with page mask=HPAGE_MASK. After some discussion, it was decided not to adopt the HPAGE_MASK, as this would have a significant detrimental effect on the overall system latency due to page_table_lock being held for too long. This could be revisited if split huge page locks are adopted.

Since the beginning of the parisc-linux port, sometimes 64bit SMP kernels were not able to bring up other CPUs than the monarch CPU and instead crashed the kernel. The reason was unclear, esp. since it involved various machines (e.g. J5600, J6750 and SuperDome). Testing showed, that those crashes didn't happened when less than 4GB were installed, or if a 32bit Linux kernel was booted. In the end, the fix for those SMP problems is trivial: During the early phase of the initialization of the CPUs, including the monarch CPU, the PDC_PSW firmware function to enable WIDE (=64bit) mode is called. It's documented that this firmware function may clobber various registers, and one one of those possibly clobbered registers is %cr30 which holds the task thread info pointer. Now, if %cr30 would always have been clobbered, then this bug would have been detected much earlier. But lots of testing finally showed, that - at least for %cr30 - on some machines only the upper 32bits of the 64bit register suddenly turned zero after the firmware call. So, after finding the root cause, the explanation for the various crashes became clear: - On 32bit SMP Linux kernels all upper 32bit were zero, so we didn't faced this problem. - Monarch CPUs in 64bit mode always booted sucessfully, because the inital task thread info pointer was below 4GB. - Secondary CPUs booted sucessfully on machines with less than 4GB RAM because the upper 32bit were zero anyay. - Secondary CPus failed to boot if we had more than 4GB RAM and the task thread info pointer was located above the 4GB boundary. Finally, the patch to fix this problem is trivial by saving the %cr30 register before the firmware call and restoring it afterwards.

Pull ACPI and power management fixes from "These fix two bugs in the intel_pstate driver, a hibernate bug leading to nasty resume failures sometimes and acpi-cpufreq initialization bug that causes problems to happen during module unload when intel_pstate is in use. Specifics: - Fix for rounding errors in intel_pstate causing CPU utilization to be underestimated from Brennan Shacklett. - intel_pstate fix to always use the correct max pstate value when computing the min pstate from Dirk Brandewie. - Hibernation fix for deadlocking resume in cases when the probing of the device containing the image is deferred from Russ Dill. - acpi-cpufreq fix to prevent the module from staying in memory when the driver cannot be registered and then attempting to unregister things that have never been registered on exit" * tag 'pm+acpi-3.12-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: acpi-cpufreq: Fail initialization if driver cannot be registered PM / hibernate: Move software_resume to late_initcall_sync intel_pstate: Correct calculation of min pstate value intel_pstate: Improve accuracy by not truncating until final result

This patch addresses a long-standing bug where the get_user_pages_fast() write parameter used for setting the underlying page table entry permission bits was incorrectly set to write=1 for data_direction=DMA_TO_DEVICE, and passed into get_user_pages_fast() via vhost_scsi_map_iov_to_sgl(). However, this parameter is intended to signal WRITEs to pinned userspace PTEs for the virtio-scsi DMA_FROM_DEVICE -> READ payload case, and *not* for the virtio-scsi DMA_TO_DEVICE -> WRITE payload case. This bug would manifest itself as random process segmentation faults on KVM host after repeated vhost starts + stops and/or with lots of vhost endpoints + LUNs.

The "legacy" ECC layout used until 3.12-rc1 uses all the OOB area by computing the ECC strength and ECC step size ourselves. Commit 2febcdf8 ("mtd: gpmi: set the BCHs geometry with the ecc info") makes the driver use the ECC info (ECC strength and ECC step size) provided by the MTD code, and creates a different NAND ECC layout for the BCH, and use the new ECC layout. This causes a regression: We can not mount the ubifs which was created by the old NAND ECC layout. This patch fixes this issue by reverting to the legacy ECC layout. We will probably introduce a new device-tree property to indicate that the new ECC layout can be used. For now though, for the imminent 3.12 release, we just unconditionally revert to the 3.11 behaviour. This leaves a harmless cosmetic warning about an unused function. At this point in the cycle I really don't care.

This issue was first pointed out by Jiaxing Wang several months ago, but no further comments: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/29/41 As we know pread() does not change f_pos, so after pread(), file->f_pos and m->read_pos become different. And seq_lseek() does not update file->f_pos if offset equals to m->read_pos, so after pread() and seq_lseek()(lseek to m->read_pos), then a subsequent read may read from a wrong position, the following program produces the problem: char str1[32] = { 0 }; char str2[32] = { 0 }; int poffset = 10; int count = 20; /*open any seq file*/ int fd = open("/proc/modules", O_RDONLY); pread(fd, str1, count, poffset); printf("pread:%s\n", str1); /*seek to where m->read_pos is*/ lseek(fd, poffset+count, SEEK_SET); /*supposed to read from poffset+count, but this read from position 0*/ read(fd, str2, count); printf("read:%s\n", str2); out put: pread: ck_netbios_ns 12665 read: nf_conntrack_netbios /proc/modules: nf_conntrack_netbios_ns 12665 0 - Live 0xffffffffa038b000 nf_conntrack_broadcast 12589 1 nf_conntrack_netbios_ns, Live 0xffffffffa0386000 So we always update file->f_pos to offset in seq_lseek() to fix this issue.
