Commit 0837e3242c73566fc1c0196b4ec61779c25ffc93 fixes a situation on POWER7
where events can roll back if a specualtive event doesn't actually complete.
This can raise a performance monitor exception. We need to catch this to ensure
that we reset the PMC. In all cases the PMC will be less than 256 cycles from
overflow.
This patch lifts Anton's fix for the problem in perf and applies it to oprofile
as well.

IBS initialization is a mix of per-core register access and per-node
pci device setup. Register access should be pinned to the cpu, but pci
setup must run with preemption enabled.
This patch better separates the code into non-/preemptible sections
and fixes sleeping with preemption disabled. See bug message below.
Fixes also freeing the eilvt entry by introducing put_eilvt().

Commit b826291c, "drivercore/dt: add a match table pointer to struct
device" added an of_match pointer to struct device to cache the
of_match_table entry discovered at driver match time. This was unsafe
because matching is not an atomic operation with probing a driver. If
two or more drivers are attempted to be matched to a driver at the
same time, then the cached matching entry pointer could get
overwritten.
This patch reverts the of_match cache pointer and reworks all users to
call of_match_device() directly instead.

os_dump_core() uses abort() to terminate UML in case of an fatal error.
glibc's abort() calls raise(SIGABRT) which makes use of tgkill().
tgkill() has no effect within UML's kernel threads because they are not
pthreads. As fallback abort() executes an invalid instruction to
terminate the process. Therefore UML gets killed by SIGSEGV and leaves a
ugly log entry in the host's kernel ring buffer.
To get rid of this we use our own abort routine.

Trying to enable the local APIC timer on early K8 revisions
uncovers a number of other issues with it, in conjunction with
the C1E enter path on AMD. Fixing those causes much more churn
and troubles than the benefit of using that timer brings so
don't enable it on K8 at all, falling back to the original
functionality the kernel had wrt to that.

This reverts commit e20a2d205c05cef6b5783df339a7d54adeb50962, as it crashes
certain boxes with specific AMD CPU models.
Moving the lower endpoint of the Erratum 400 check to accomodate
earlier K8 revisions (A-E) opens a can of worms which is simply
not worth to fix properly by tweaking the errata checking
framework:
* missing IntPenging MSR on revisions < CG cause #GP:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=130541471818831
* makes earlier revisions use the LAPIC timer instead of the C1E
idle routine which switches to HPET, thus not waking up in
deeper C-states:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/24/20
Therefore, leave the original boundary starting with K8-revF.

This patch fixes a bug reported by a customer, who found
that many unreasonable error interrupts reported on all
non-boot CPUs (APs) during the system boot stage.
According to Chapter 10 of Intel Software Developer Manual
Volume 3A, Local APIC may signal an illegal vector error when
an LVT entry is set as an illegal vector value (0~15) under
FIXED delivery mode (bits 8-11 is 0), regardless of whether
the mask bit is set or an interrupt actually happen. These
errors are seen as error interrupts.
The initial value of thermal LVT entries on all APs always reads
0x10000 because APs are woken up by BSP issuing INIT-SIPI-SIPI
sequence to them and LVT registers are reset to 0s except for
the mask bits which are set to 1s when APs receive INIT IPI.
When the BIOS takes over the thermal throttling interrupt,
the LVT thermal deliver mode should be SMI and it is required
from the kernel to keep AP's LVT thermal monitoring register
programmed as such as well.
This issue happens when BIOS does not take over thermal throttling
interrupt, AP's LVT thermal monitor register will be restored to
0x10000 which means vector 0 and fixed deliver mode, so all APs will
signal illegal vector error interrupts.
This patch check if interrupt delivery mode is not fixed mode before
restoring AP's LVT thermal monitor register.

This is a fix for the SGI Altix-UV Broadcast Assist Unit code,
which is used for TLB flushing.
Certain hardware configurations (that customers are ordering)
cause nasids (numa address space id's) to be non-consecutive.
Specifically, once you have more than 4 blades in a IRU
(Individual Rack Unit - or 1/2 rack) but less than the maximum
of 16, the nasid numbering becomes non-consecutive. This
currently results in a 'catastrophic error' (CATERR) detected by
the firmware during OS boot. The BAU is generating an 'INTD'
request that is targeting a non-existent nasid value. Such
configurations may also occur when a blade is configured off
because of hardware errors. (There is one UV hub per blade.)
This patch is required to support such configurations.
The problem with the tlb_uv.c code is that is using the
consecutive hub numbers as indices to the BAU distribution bit
map. These are simply the ordinal position of the hub or blade
within its partition. It should be using physical node numbers
(pnodes), which correspond to the physical nasid values. Use of
the hub number only works as long as the nasids in the partition
are consecutive and increase with a stride of 1.
This patch changes the index to be the pnode number, thus
allowing nasids to be non-consecutive.
It also provides a table in local memory for each cpu to
translate target cpu number to target pnode and nasid.
And it improves naming to properly reflect 'node' and 'uvhub'
versus 'nasid'.

This is often because native_pagetable_reserve lacks a __init

Introduce a new x86_init hook called pagetable_reserve that at the end
of init_memory_mapping is used to reserve a range of memory addresses for
the kernel pagetable pages we used and free the other ones.
On native it just calls memblock_x86_reserve_range while on xen it also
takes care of setting the spare memory previously allocated
for kernel pagetable pages from RO to RW, so that it can be used for
other purposes.
A detailed explanation of the reason why this hook is needed follows.
As a consequence of the commit:
commit 4b239f458c229de044d6905c2b0f9fe16ed9e01e
Author: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org>
Date: Fri Dec 17 16:58:28 2010 -0800
x86-64, mm: Put early page table high
at some point init_memory_mapping is going to reach the pagetable pages
area and map those pages too (mapping them as normal memory that falls
in the range of addresses passed to init_memory_mapping as argument).
Some of those pages are already pagetable pages (they are in the range
pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_end) therefore they are going to be mapped RO and
everything is fine.
Some of these pages are not pagetable pages yet (they fall in the range
pgt_buf_end-pgt_buf_top; for example the page at pgt_buf_end) so they
are going to be mapped RW. When these pages become pagetable pages and
are hooked into the pagetable, xen will find that the guest has already
a RW mapping of them somewhere and fail the operation.
The reason Xen requires pagetables to be RO is that the hypervisor needs
to verify that the pagetables are valid before using them. The validation
operations are called "pinning" (more details in arch/x86/xen/mmu.c).
In order to fix the issue we mark all the pages in the entire range
pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_top as RO, however when the pagetable allocation
is completed only the range pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_end is reserved by
init_memory_mapping. Hence the kernel is going to crash as soon as one
of the pages in the range pgt_buf_end-pgt_buf_top is reused (b/c those
ranges are RO).
For this reason we need a hook to reserve the kernel pagetable pages we
used and free the other ones so that they can be reused for other
purposes.
On native it just means calling memblock_x86_reserve_range, on Xen it
also means marking RW the pagetable pages that we allocated before but
that haven't been used before.
Another way to fix this is without using the hook is by adding a 'if
(xen_pv_domain)' in the 'init_memory_mapping' code and calling the Xen
counterpart, but that is just nasty.

Since mandatory barriers may be used (explicitly or implicitly via readl
etc.) to ensure the ordering between Device and Normal memory accesses,
a DMB is not enough. This patch converts it to a DSB.

GDB's interrupt.exp test cases currenly fail on ARM. The problem is how do_signal
handled restarting interrupted system calls:
The entry.S assembler code determines that we come from a system call; and that
information is passed as "syscall" parameter to do_signal. That routine then
calls get_signal_to_deliver [*] and if a signal is to be delivered, calls into
handle_signal. If a system call is to be restarted either after the signal
handler returns, or if no handler is to be called in the first place, the PC
is updated after the get_signal_to_deliver call, either in handle_signal (if
we have a handler) or at the end of do_signal (otherwise).
Now the problem is that during [*], the call to get_signal_to_deliver, a ptrace
intercept may happen. During this intercept, the debugger may change registers,
including the PC. This is done by GDB if it wants to execute an "inferior call",
i.e. the execution of some code in the debugged program triggered by GDB.
To this purpose, GDB will save all registers, allocate a stack frame, set up
PC and arguments as appropriate for the call, and point the link register to
a dummy breakpoint instruction. Once the process is restarted, it will execute
the call and then trap back to the debugger, at which point GDB will restore
all registers and continue original execution.
This generally works fine. However, now consider what happens when GDB attempts
to do exactly that while the process was interrupted during execution of a to-be-
restarted system call: do_signal is called with the syscall flag set; it calls
get_signal_to_deliver, at which point the debugger takes over and changes the PC
to point to a completely different place. Now get_signal_to_deliver returns
without a signal to deliver; but now do_signal decides it should be restarting
a system call, and decrements the PC by 2 or 4 -- so it now points to 2 or 4
bytes before the function GDB wants to call -- which leads to a subsequent crash.
To fix this problem, two things need to be supported:
- do_signal must be able to recognize that get_signal_to_deliver changed the PC
to a different location, and skip the restart-syscall sequence
- once the debugger has restored all registers at the end of the inferior call
sequence, do_signal must recognize that *now* it needs to restart the pending
system call, even though it was now entered from a breakpoint instead of an
actual svc instruction
This set of issues is solved on other platforms, usually by one of two
mechanisms:
- The status information "do_signal is handling a system call that may need
restarting" is itself carried in some register that can be accessed via
ptrace. This is e.g. on Intel the "orig_eax" register; on Sparc the kernel
defines a magic extra bit in the flags register for this purpose.
This allows GDB to manage that state: reset it when doing an inferior call,
and restore it after the call is finished.
- On s390, do_signal transparently handles this problem without requiring
GDB interaction, by performing system call restarting in the following
way: first, adjust the PC as necessary for restarting the call. Then,
call get_signal_to_deliver; and finally just continue execution at the
PC. This way, if GDB does not change the PC, everything is as before.
If GDB *does* change the PC, execution will simply continue there --
and once GDB restores the PC it saved at that point, it will automatically
point to the *restarted* system call. (There is the minor twist how to
handle system calls that do *not* need restarting -- do_signal will undo
the PC change in this case, after get_signal_to_deliver has returned, and
only if ptrace did not change the PC during that call.)
Because there does not appear to be any obvious register to carry the
syscall-restart information on ARM, we'd either have to introduce a new
artificial ptrace register just for that purpose, or else handle the issue
transparently like on s390. The patch below implements the second option;
using this patch makes the interrupt.exp test cases pass on ARM, with no
regression in the GDB test suite otherwise.

The SPARSEMEM code allocates memmap entries only for sections which are
present (i.e. those which contain some valid memory). The membank checks
in free_unused_memmap do not take this into account and can incorrectly
attempt to free memory which is not allocated, resulting in a BUG() in
the bootmem code.
However, if memory is configured as follows:
|<----section---->|<----hole---->|<----section---->|
+--------+--------+--------------+--------+--------+
| bank 0 | unused | | bank 1 | unused |
+--------+--------+--------------+--------+--------+
where a bank only occupies part of a section, the memmap allocated for
the remainder of the section *can* be freed.
This patch modifies the checks in free_unused_memmap so that only valid
memmap entries are considered for removal.

__csum_partial_copy_sparc_generic
When we are in the label cc_dword_align, registers %o0 and %o1 have the same last 2 bits,
but it's not guaranteed one of them is zero. So we can get unaligned memory access
in label ccte. Example of parameters which lead to this:
%o0=0x7ff183e9, %o1=0x8e709e7d, %g1=3
With the parameters I had a memory corruption, when the additional 5 bytes were rewritten.
This patch corrects the error.
One comment to the patch. We don't care about the third bit in %o1, because cc_end_cruft
stores word or less.

Commit d594f1f31afe13edd8c02f3854a65cc58cfb3b74 (omap: IOMMU: add
support to callback during fault handling) broke interrupt line sharing
between the OMAP3 ISP and its IOMMU. Because of this, every interrupt
generated by the OMAP3 ISP is handled by the IOMMU driver instead of
being passed to the OMAP3 ISP driver.

Disable irqs during optimized callback, so we dont miss any in-irq kprobes.
The following commands:
# cd /debug/tracing/
# echo "p mutex_unlock" >> kprobe_events
# echo "p _raw_spin_lock" >> kprobe_events
# echo "p smp_apic_timer_interrupt" >> ./kprobe_events
# echo 1 > events/enable
Cause the optimized kprobes to be missed. None is missed
with the fix applied.
