As per chapter 15 "Errata: Issue of Out-of-order in loongson"[1] to work around the Loongson 2F erratum we need to do: "When switching from user mode to kernel mode, you should flush the branch target history such as BTB and RAS."

This is a follow on to the vdso patch. Since all processes now have signal trampolines permanently mapped, we can use those instead of putting the trampoline on the stack and invalidating the corresponding icache across all CPUs. We also get rid of a bunch of ICACHE_REFILLS_WORKAROUND_WAR code. [Ralf: GDB 7.1 which has the necessary modifications to allow backtracing over signal frames will supposedly be released tomorrow. The old signal frame format obsoleted by this patch exists in two variations, for sane processors and for those requiring ICACHE_REFILLS_WORKAROUND_WAR. So there was never a GDB which did support backtracing over signal frames on all MIPS systems. This convinved me this series should be applied and pushed upstream as soon as possible.] Signed-off-by:

This is a preliminary patch to add a vdso to all user processes. Still missing are ELF headers and .eh_frame information. But it is enough to allow us to move signal trampolines off of the stack. Note that emulation of branch delay slots in the FPU emulator still requires the stack. We allocate a single page (the vdso) and write all possible signal trampolines into it. The stack is moved down by one page and the vdso is mapped into this space. Signed-off-by:

The SSB PCIcore code reused the IO resource fixup code from the original 2.4.x Broadcom patch for BCM47xx based devices, which was a quick hack for doing PCI IO resource configuration back then (the boot loader doesn't configure PCI devices on this platform). However, this code is no longer necessary since the kernel now can do PCI resource management fine all by itself, so remove the old code. When removing the code, it becomes obvious that the mem_offset setting in the PCIcore driver was wrong, however this was masked by the fixup code before, except in a few cases involving yenta_socket. For BCM47xx, the correct offset is 0, and since this is the only device using PCIcore in host mode, the offset can simply be removed unconditionally. Signed-off-by:

On AR7, we already redefine PHYS_OFFSET to match the system specifities, it is however not sufficient when unsing dma_{map,unmap}_single, specifically in the ethernet driver, we must also adjust CAC_ADDR and UNCAC_ADDR for DMA to work correctly.

Like x86 did in arch/x86/kernel/{process_32.c,process_64.c}, also don't trace irqsoff for idle. If there's no useful work to be done, we don't care about the irqsoff duration. If we trace the idle process, the max duration of irqsoff will be the idle time and make the irqsoff tracer useless. Signed-off-by: -

radix_tree_tag_get() is not safe to use concurrently with radix_tree_tag_set() or radix_tree_tag_clear(). The problem is that the double tag_get() in radix_tree_tag_get(): if (!tag_get(node, tag, offset)) saw_unset_tag = 1; if (height == 1) { int ret = tag_get(node, tag, offset); may see the value change due to the action of set/clear. RCU is no protection against this as no pointers are being changed, no nodes are being replaced according to a COW protocol - set/clear alter the node directly. The documentation in linux/radix-tree.h, however, says that radix_tree_tag_get() is an exception to the rule that "any function modifying the tree or tags (...) must exclude other modifications, and exclude any functions reading the tree". The problem is that the next statement in radix_tree_tag_get() checks that the tag doesn't vary over time: BUG_ON(ret && saw_unset_tag); This has been seen happening in FS-Cache: https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-cachefs/2010-April/msg00013.html To this end, remove the BUG_ON() from radix_tree_tag_get() and note in various comments that the value of the tag may change whilst the RCU read lock is held, and thus that the return value of radix_tree_tag_get() may not be relied upon unless radix_tree_tag_set/clear() and radix_tree_delete() are excluded from running concurrently with it.

As suggested by Linus, fix up kmem_ptr_validate() to handle non-kernel pointers more graciously. The patch changes kmem_ptr_validate() to use the newly introduced kern_ptr_validate() helper to check that a pointer is a valid kernel pointer before we attempt to convert it into a 'struct page'.

The default size of the vmalloc area is currently 1 GB. The memory resource controller uses about 10 MB of vmalloc space per gigabyte of memory. That turns a system with more than ~100 GB memory unbootable with the default vmalloc size. It costs us nothing to increase the default size to some more adequate value, e.g. 128 GB. Signed-off-by: -

commit 6a985c61 ([S390] s390: use change recording override for kernel mapping) deactivated the change bit recording for the kernel mapping to improve the performance. This works most of the time, but there are cases (e.g. kernel runs in home space, futex atomic compare xcmg) where we modify user memory with the kernel mapping instead of the user mapping. Instead of fixing these cases, this patch just deactivates change bit override to avoid future problems with other kernel code that might use the kernel mapping for user memory.

If a machine check interrupts the io interrupt handler on one of the instructions between io_return and io_leave the critical section cleanup code will move the return psw to io_work_loop. By doing that the switch from the asynchronous interrupt stack to the process stack is skipped. If e.g. TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set things break because the scheduler is called with the asynchronous interrupts stack. Moving the psw back to io_return instead fixes the problem. Signed-off-by: -

When CFQ dispatches requests forcefully due to a barrier or changing iosched, it runs through all cfqq's dispatching requests and then expires each queue. However, it does not activate a cfqq before flushing its IOs resulting in using stale values for computing slice_used. This patch fixes it by calling activate queue before flushing reuqests from each queue. This is useful mostly for barrier requests because when the iosched is changing it really doesnt matter if we have incorrect accounting since we're going to break down all structures anyway. We also now expire the current timeslice before moving on with the dispatch to accurately account slice used for that cfqq.
