powerpc/mm: Fix a AB->BA deadlock scenario with nohash MMU context lock

The MMU context_lock can be taken from switch_mm() while the

thus if we get interrupted in destroy_context() with the context
lock held and that interrupt tries to take the rq->lock, there's
a possible deadlock scenario with another CPU having the rq->lock
and calling switch_mm() which takes our context lock.

The fix is to always ensure interrupts are off when taking our
context lock. The switch_mm() path is already good so this fixes
the destroy_context() path.

While at it, turn the context lock into a new style spinlock.

powerpc/mm: Fix some SMP issues with MMU context handling

of steal_context() dropping the context_lock when all possible
PIDs are ineligible for stealing (hopefully an extremely hard to
hit occurence).

This case exposes the possibility of a stale context_mm[] entry
to be seen since destroy_context() doesn't clear it and the free
map isn't re-tested. It also means steal_context() will not notice
a context freed while the lock was help, thus possibly trying to
steal a context when a free one was available.

This fixes it by always returning to the caller from steal_context
when it dropped the lock with a return value that causes the
caller to re-samble the number of free contexts, along with
properly clearing the context_mm[] array for destroyed contexts.

powerpc: Fix up dma_alloc_coherent() on platforms without cache coherency.

Kconfig-defined virtual address area in kernel space that nothing
actually carves out (and thus will overlap whatever is there),
or having some dependencies on being self contained in a single
PTE page which adds unnecessary constraints on the kernel virtual
address space.

This fixes it by using more classic PTE accessors and automatically
locating the area for consistent memory, carving an appropriate hole
in the kernel virtual address space, leaving only the size of that
area as a Kconfig option. It also brings some dma-mask related fixes

Benjamin Herrenschmidt [Wed, 27 May 2009 03:33:14 +0000 (13:33 +1000)]
Revert "powerpc: Rework dma-noncoherent to use generic vmalloc layer"

This reverts commit 33f00dcedb0e22cdb156a23632814fc580fcfcf8.

    While it was a good idea to try to use the mm/vmalloc.c allocator instead
    of our own (in fact, ours is itself a dup on an old variant of the vmalloc
    one), unfortunately, the approach is terminally busted since
    dma_alloc_coherent() can be called at interrupt time or in atomic contexts
    and there's little chances we'll make the code in mm/vmalloc.c cope with\       that :-(

    Until we can get the generic code to forbid that idiocy and fix all
    drivers abusing it, we pretty much have no choice but revert to
    our custom virtual space allocator.

    There's also a problem with SMP safety since freeing such mapping
    would require an IPI which cannot be done at interrupt time.

    However, right now, I don't think we support any platform that is
    both SMP and has non-coherent DMA (don't laugh, I know such things
    do exist !) so we can sort that out later.

[CPUFREQ] powernow-k8: determine exact CPU frequency for HW Pstates

Slightly modified by trenn@suse.de -> only do this on fam 10h and fam 11h.

Currently powernow-k8 determines CPU frequency from ACPI PSS objects, but
according to AMD family 11h BKDG this frequency is just a rounded value:

  "CoreFreq (MHz) = The CPU COF specified by MSRC001_00[6B:64][CpuFid]
  rounded to the nearest 100 Mhz."

As a consequnce powernow-k8 reports wrong CPU frequency on some systems,
e.g. on Turion X2 Ultra:

  powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Turion(tm)X2 Ultra DualCore Mobile ZM-82
               processors (2 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00)
  powernow-k8:    0 : pstate 0 (2200 MHz)
  powernow-k8:    1 : pstate 1 (1100 MHz)
  powernow-k8:    2 : pstate 2 (600 MHz)

But this is wrong as frequency for Pstate2 is 550 MHz. x86info reports it
correctly:

  #x86info -a |grep Pstate
  ...
  Pstate-0: fid=e, did=0, vid=24 (2200MHz)
  Pstate-1: fid=e, did=1, vid=30 (1100MHz)
  Pstate-2: fid=e, did=2, vid=3c (550MHz) (current)

Solution is to determine the frequency directly from Pstate MSRs instead
of using rounded values from ACPI table.

cpufreq fix timer teardown in ondemand governor

The problem is that dbs_timer_exit() uses cancel_delayed_work() when it should
use cancel_delayed_work_sync(). cancel_delayed_work() does not wait for the
workqueue handler to exit.

The ondemand governor does not seem to be affected because the
"if (!dbs_info->enable)" check at the beginning of the workqueue handler returns
immediately without rescheduling the work. The conservative governor in
2.6.30-rc has the same check as the ondemand governor, which makes things
usually run smoothly. However, if the governor is quickly stopped and then
started, this could lead to the following race :

dbs_enable could be reenabled and multiple do_dbs_timer handlers would run.
This is why a synchronized teardown is required.

The following patch applies to, at least, 2.6.28.x, 2.6.29.1, 2.6.30-rc2.

Hrm, I think it must be due to my attempt to fix the timer teardown race
in ondemand governor mixed with new locking behavior in 2.6.30-rc.

The rwlock seems to be taken around the whole call to
cpufreq_governor_dbs(), when it should be only taken around accesses to
the locked data, and especially *not* around the call to
dbs_timer_exit().

Reverting my fix attempt would put the teardown race back in place
(replacing the cancel_delayed_work_sync by cancel_delayed_work).
Instead, a proper fix would imply modifying this critical section :

cpufreq.c: __cpufreq_remove_dev()
...
        if (cpufreq_driver->target)
                __cpufreq_governor(data, CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP);

        unlock_policy_rwsem_write(cpu);

To make sure the __cpufreq_governor() callback is not called with rwsem
held. This would allow execution of cancel_delayed_work_sync() without
being nested within the rwsem.

Applies on top of the 2.6.30-rc5 tree.

Required to remove circular dep in teardown of both conservative and
ondemande governors so they can use cancel_delayed_work_sync().
CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP does not modify the policy, therefore this locking seemed
unneeded.

x86, relocs: ignore R_386_NONE in kernel relocation entries

For relocatable 32bit kernels, boot/compressed/relocs.c processes
relocation entries in the kernel image and appends it to the kernel
image such that boot/compressed/head_32.S can relocate the kernel.
The kernel image is one statically linked object and only uses two
relocation types - R_386_PC32 and R_386_32, of the two only the latter
needs massaging during kernel relocation and thus handled by relocs.
R_386_PC32 is ignored and all other relocation types are considered
error.

When the target of a relocation resides in a discarded section,
binutils doesn't throw away the relocation record but nullifies it by
changing it to R_386_NONE, which unfortunately makes relocs fail.

The problem was triggered by yet out-of-tree x86 stack unwind patches

thing to do.

Since commit 0fd56bb5be6455d0d42241e65aed057244665e5e ("gianfar:
Add support for skb recycling"), gianfar puts skbuffs that are in

receive error, but this breaks the following invariant: that all
skbuffs on the recycle list have skb->data = skb->head + NET_SKB_PAD.

The RXBUF_ALIGNMENT realignment done in gfar_new_skb() will be done
twice on skbuffs recycled in this way, causing there not to be enough
room in the skb anymore to receive a full packet, eventually leading
to an skb_over_panic from gfar_clean_rx_ring() -> skb_put().

Resetting the skb->data pointer to skb->head + NET_SKB_PAD before
putting the skb back onto the recycle list restores the mentioned
invariant, and should fix this issue.

first chunk and as pageattr doesn't know about the alias it ends up
updating page attributes of the original mapping thus leaving the

PM: Do not hold dpm_list_mtx while disabling/enabling nonboot CPUs

We shouldn't hold dpm_list_mtx while executing
[disable|enable]_nonboot_cpus(), because theoretically this may lead
to a deadlock as shown by the following example (provided by Johannes
Berg):

CPU 3       CPU 2                     CPU 1
                                      suspend/hibernate
            something:
            rtnl_lock()               device_pm_lock()
                                       -> mutex_lock(&dpm_list_mtx)

            mutex_lock(&dpm_list_mtx)

linkwatch_work
 -> rtnl_lock()
                                      disable_nonboot_cpus()
                                       -> flush CPU 3 workqueue

Fortunately, device drivers are supposed to stop any activities that
might lead to the registration of new device objects way before
disable_nonboot_cpus() is called, so it shouldn't be necessary to
hold dpm_list_mtx over the entire late part of device suspend and
early part of device resume.

Thus, during the late suspend and the early resume of devices acquire
dpm_list_mtx only when dpm_list is going to be traversed and release
it right after that.

This patch is reported to fix the regressions tracked as
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13245.
