With commit ab144f5ec64c42218a555ec1dbde6b60cf2982d6 the patching code
now collects the complete new instruction stream into a temp buffer
before finally patching in the new insns. In some cases the paravirt
patchers will choose to leave the patch site unpatched (length mismatch,
clobbers mismatch, etc).This causes the new patching code to copy an uninitialized temp buffer,
i.e. garbage, to the callsite. Simply make sure to always initialize
the buffer with the original instruction stream. A better fix is to
audit all the patchers and return proper length so that apply_paravirt()
can skip copies when we leave the patch site untouched.Signed-off-by: Chris Wright

Very old 64bit binutils have .cfi_startproc/endproc, but
no .cfi_rel_offset. Check for .cfi_rel_offset too.Cc: Jan Beulich

Very old binutils (2.12.90...) seem to have trouble with newlines
in assembler macro invocation. They put them into the resulting
argument expansion. In this case this lead to a parse error because
a .rept expression ended up spread over multiple lines. Change the PMDS()
invocation to a single line.Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen

Fixed wrong expression which enabled watchdogs even if nmi_watchdog kernel
parameter wasn't set. This regression got slightly introduced with commit
b7471c6da94d30d3deadc55986cc38d1ff57f9ca.Introduced NMI_DISABLED (-1) which allows to switch the value of NMI_DEFAULT
without breaking the APIC NMI watchdog code (again).Fixes:

This should fix an oops with PCMCIA PATA devices
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8424
This is not a full fix for the problem, but probably
still the right thing to do.[ I'm almost certain it's *not* the right thing to do, but it avoids an
oops, and I want comments from others on what the right thing would
actually be.. I suspect we should just remove the use of dma_mask
entirely in this function, and just use coherent_dma_mask. - Linus ]Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen

If the forcedeth driver receives too much work in an interrupt, it
assumes it has a broken hardware with stuck IRQ. It works around the
problem by disabling interrupts on the nic but makes a printk while
holding device spinlog - which isn't smart thing to do if you have
netconsole on the same nic.This patch moves the printk's out of the spinlock protected area.
Without this patch the machine hangs hard. With this patch everything
still works even when there is significant increase on CPU usage while
using the nic.Signed-off-by: Timo Jantunen

Use cpu_relax() in the busy loops, as atomic_read() doesn't automatically
imply volatility for i386 and x86_64. x86_64 doesn't have this issue because
it open-codes the while loop in smpboot.c:smp_callin() itself that already
uses cpu_relax().For i386, however, smpboot.c:smp_callin() calls wait_for_init_deassert()
which is buggy for mach-default and mach-es7000 cases.[ I test-built a kernel -- smp_callin() itself got inlined in its only
callsite, smpboot.c:start_secondary() -- and the relevant piece of
code disassembles to the following:0xc1019704 : mov 0xc144c4c8,%eax
0xc1019709 : test %eax,%eax
0xc101970b : je 0xc1019709init_deasserted (at 0xc144c4c8) gets fetched into %eax only once and
then we loop over the test of the stale value in the register only,
so these look like real bugs to me. With the fix below, this becomes:0xc1019706 : pause
0xc1019708 : cmpl $0x0,0xc144c4c8
0xc101970f : je 0xc1019706which looks nice and healthy. ]

The underflow exception cases were wrong.
This is one weird area of ieee1754 handling in that the underflow
behavior changes based upon whether underflow is enabled in the trap
enable mask of the FPU control register. As a specific case the Sparc
V9 manual gives us the following description:--------------------
If UFM = 0: Underflow occurs if a nonzero result is tiny and a
loss of accuracy occurs. Tininess may be detected
before or after rounding. Loss of accuracy may be
either a denormalization loss or an inexact result.If UFM = 1: Underflow occurs if a nonzero result is tiny.
Tininess may be detected before or after rounding.
--------------------What this amounts to in the packing case is if we go subnormal,
we set underflow if any of the following are true:1) rounding sets inexact
2) we ended up rounding back up to normal (this is the case where
we set the exponent to 1 and set the fraction to zero), this
should set inexact too
3) underflow is set in FPU control register trap-enable maskThe initially discovered example was "DBL_MIN / 16.0" which
incorrectly generated an underflow. It should not, unless underflow
is set in the trap-enable mask of the FPU csr.Another example, "0x0.0000000000001p-1022 / 16.0", should signal both
inexact and underflow. The cpu implementations and ieee1754
literature is very clear about this. This is case #2 above.However, if underflow is set in the trap enable mask, only underflow
should be set and reported as a trap. That is handled properly by the
prioritization logic inarch/sparc{,64}/math-emu/math.c:record_exception().
Based upon a report and test case from Jakub Jelinek.

There is a bug in the ia64_do_page_fault code that can cause a failure
to grow the register backing store, or any mapping that is marked as
VM_GROWSUP if the mapping is the highest mapped area of memory.When the address accessed is below the first mapping the previous mapping
is returned as NULL, and this case is handled. However, when the address
accessed is above the highest mapping the vma returned is NULL, this
case is not handled correctly, and it fails to spot that this access
might require an existing mapping to grow upwards.Signed-off-by: Andrew Burgess
