Program Check exceptions are the result of WARNs, BUGs, some
type of breakpoints, kprobe, and other illegal instructions.We want interrupts (and thus preemption) to remain disabled
while doing the initial stage of testing the reason and
branching off to a debugger or kprobe, so we are still on
the original CPU which makes debugging easier in various cases.This is how the code was intended, hence the local_irq_enable()
right in the middle of program_check_exception().However, the assembly exception prologue for that exception was
incorrectly marked as enabling interrupts, which defeats that
(and records a redundant enable with lockdep).Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

Upstream changes to the way PHB resources are registered
broke the resource fixup for FSL boards.We can no longer rely on the resource pointer array for the PHB's
pci_bus structure, so let's leave it alone and go straight for
the PHB resources instead. This also makes the code generally
more readable.Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

A kernel oops/panic prints an instruction dump showing several
instructions before and after the instruction which caused the
oops/panic.The code intended that the faulting instruction be enclosed in angle
brackets, however a bug caused the faulting instruction to be
interpreted by printk() as the message log level.To fix this, the KERN_CONT log level is added before the actual text of
the printed message.=== Before the patch ===

EEH may happen during a PCI driver probe. If the driver is trying to
access some register in a loop, the EEH code will try to print the
driver name. But the driver pointer in struct pci_dev is not set until
probe returns successfully.Use a function to test if the device and the driver pointer is NULL
before accessing the driver's name.Signed-off-by: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo

This fixes a hang that was observed during live partition migration.
Since stop_topology_update must not be called from an interrupt
context, call it earlier in the migration process. The hang observed

Says Jens:
"Time to push off some of the pending items. I really wanted to wait
until we had the regression nailed, but alas it's not quite there yet.
But I'm very confident that it's "just" a missing expire on exit, so
fix from Tejun should be fairly trivial. I'm headed out for a week on
the slopes.- Killing the barrier part of mtip32xx. It doesn't really support
barriers, and it doesn't need them (writes are fully ordered).- A few fixes from Dan Carpenter, preventing overflows of integer
multiplication.- A fixup for loop, fixing a previous commit that didn't quite solve
the partial read problem from Dave Young.- A bio integer overflow fix from Kent Overstreet.
- Improvement/fix of the door "keep locked" part of the cdrom shared
code from Paolo Benzini.- A few cfq fixes from Shaohua Li.
- A fix for bsg sysfs warning when removing a file it did not create
from Stanislaw Gruszka.- Two fixes for floppy from Vivek, preventing a crash.
- A few block core fixes from Tejun. One killing the over-optimized
ioc exit path, cleaning that up nicely. Two others fixing an oops
on elevator switch, due to calling into the scheduler merge check
code without holding the queue lock."* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:

11a3122f6c "block: strip out locking optimization in put_io_context()"
removed ioc_lock depth lockdep annoation along with locking
optimization; however, while recursing from put_io_context() is no
longer possible, ioc_release_fn() may still end up putting the last
reference of another ioc through elevator, which wlil grab ioc->lock
triggering spurious (as the ioc is always different one) A-A deadlock
warning.As this can only happen one time from ioc_release_fn(), using non-zero
subclass from ioc_release_fn() is enough. Use subclass 1.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

Quoth David:
1) GRO MAC header comparisons were ethernet specific, breaking other
link types. This required a multi-faceted fix to cure the originally
noted case (Infiniband), because IPoIB was lying about it's actual
hard header length. Thanks to Eric Dumazet, Roland Dreier, and
others.2) Fix build failure when INET_UDP_DIAG is built in and ipv6 is modular.
From Anisse Astier.3) Off by ones and other bug fixes in netprio_cgroup from Neil Horman.
4) ipv4 TCP reset generation needs to respect any network interface
binding from the socket, otherwise route lookups might give a
different result than all the other segments received. From Shawn
Lu.5) Fix unintended regression in ipv4 proxy ARP responses, from Thomas
Graf.6) Fix SKB under-allocation bug in sh_eth, from Yoshihiro Shimoda.
7) Revert skge PCI mapping changes that are causing crashes for some
folks, from Stephen Hemminger.8) IPV4 route lookups fill in the wildcarded fields of the given flow
lookup key passed in, which is fine most of the time as this is
exactly what the caller's want. However there are a few cases that
want to retain the original flow key values afterwards, so handle
those cases properly. Fix from Julian Anastasov.9) IGB/IXGBE VF lookup bug fixes from Greg Rose.
10) Properly null terminate filename passed to ethtool flash device
method, from Ben Hutchings.11) S3 resume fix in via-velocity from David Lv.

Commit 653241 (net: RFC3069, private VLAN proxy arp support) changed
the behavior of arp proxy to send arp replies back out on the interface
the request came in even if the private VLAN feature is disabled.Previously we checked rt->dst.dev != skb->dev for in scenarios, when
proxy arp is enabled on for the netdevice and also when individual proxy
neighbour entries have been added.This patch adds the check back for the pneigh_lookup() scenario.

The current error handling doesn't work because we flash_part is a u32
so the checks for negative error codes don't work. I considered making
things signed but I don't know the hardware enough to say if that's a
problem. Really, we don't use the error codes so just returning zero
for all problems is fine.Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter

We use len to store the return value from eth_header(). eth_header()
can return -ETH_HLEN (-14). We want to pass this back instead of
truncating it to 65522 and returning that.Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter

Just like skb->cb[], so that qdisc_skb_cb can be encapsulated inside
of other data structures.This is intended to be used by IPoIB so that it can remember
addressing information stored at hard_header_ops->create() time that
it can fetch when the packet gets to the transmit routine.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

The receive FIFO wakeup latency estimate in the omap-serial driver is
three orders of magnitude too small. This effectively prevents the
MPU from going to a low-power state when CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=y. This is a
major power management regression and masks some other FIFO-related
bugs in the driver.Fix by correcting the most egregious problem in the RX wakeup latency
estimate. There are several other flaws in the estimator; these will
be fixed by a separate patch series intended for 3.4.The difference in low-power states with this patch can be observed via
debugfs in pm_debug/count.This estimate does not have any effect when CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=n.

Prevent OMAP UARTs from going idle while they are still transferring
data in PIO mode. This works around an oversight in the OMAP UART
hardware present in OMAP34xx and earlier: an idle UART won't send a
wakeup when the TX FIFO threshold is reached. This causes long delays
during data transmission when the MPU powerdomain enters a low-power
mode. The MPU interrupt controller is not able to respond to
interrupts when it's in a low-power state, so the TX buffer is not
refilled until another wakeup event occurs.This fix changes the erratum i291 DMA idle workaround. Rather than
toggling between force-idle and no-idle, it will toggle between
smart-idle and no-idle. The important part of the workaround is the
no-idle part, so this shouldn't result in any change in behavior.This fix should work on all OMAP UARTs. Future patches intended for
the 3.4 merge window will make this workaround conditional on a
"feature" flag, and will use the OMAP36xx+ TX event wakeup support.Thanks to Kevin Hilman for mentioning the erratum i291
workaround, which led to the development of this approach.Signed-off-by: Paul Walmsley

In the (default) PIO mode, use a one-byte RX FIFO threshold. The OMAP
UART IP blocks do not appear to be capable of waking the system under
an RX timeout condition. Since the previous RX FIFO threshold was 16
bytes, this meant that omap-serial.c did not become aware of any
received data until all those bytes arrived or until another UART
interrupt occurred. This made the serial console and presumably other
serial applications (GPS, serial Bluetooth) unusable or extremely
slow. A 1-byte RX FIFO threshold also allows the MPU to enter a
low-power consumption state while waiting for the FIFO to fill.This can be verified using the serial console by comparing the
behavior when "0123456789abcde" is pasted in from another window, with
the behavior when "0123456789abcdef" is pasted in. Since the former
string is less than sixteen bytes long, the string is not echoed for
some time, while the latter string is echoed immediately.DMA operation is unaffected by this patch.
Thanks to Russell King - ARM Linux for some
additional information on the standard behavior of the RX timeout
event, which was used to improve this commit description.Signed-off-by: Paul Walmsley

_parse_integer() does one or two division instructions (which are slow)
per digit parsed to perform the overflow check.Furthermore, these are particularly expensive examples of division
instruction as the number of clock cycles required to complete them may
go up with the position of the most significant set bit in the dividend:if (*res > div_u64(ULLONG_MAX - val, base))
which is as maximal as possible.
Worse, on 32-bit arches, more than one of these division instructions
may be required per digit.So, assuming we don't support a base of more than 16, skip the check if the
top nibble of the result is not set at this point.Signed-off-by: David Howells
[ Changed it to not dereference the pointer all the time - even if the
compiler can and does optimize it away, the code just looks cleaner.
And edited the top nybble test slightly to make the code generated on
x86-64 better in the loop - test against a hoisted constant instead of
shifting and testing the result ]

If the number of tx/rx queues changes the ethtool ioctl
ETHTOOL_GSTATS may overrun the userspace buffer. This
occurs because the general practice in user space to
query stats is to issue a ETHTOOL_GSSET cmd to learn the
buffer size needed, allocate the buffer, then call
ETHTOOL_GSTIRNGS and ETHTOOL_GSTATS. If the number of
real_num_queues is changed or flow control attributes
are changed after ETHTOOL_GSSET but before the
ETHTOOL_GSTRINGS/ETHTOOL_GSTATS a user space buffer
overrun occurs.To fix the overrun always return the max buffer size
needed from get_sset_count() then return all strings
and stats from get_strings()/get_ethtool_stats().This _will_ change the output from the ioctl() call
which could break applications and script parsing in
theory. I believe these changes should not break existing
tools because the only changes will be more {tx|rx}_queues
and the {tx|rx}_pb_* stats will always be returned.
Existing scripts already need to handle changing number
of queues because this occurs today depending on system
and current features. The {tx|rx}_pb_* stats are at the
end of the output and should be handled by scripts today
regardless.Finally get_ethtool_stats and get_strings are free-form
outputs tools parsing these outputs should be defensive
anyways. In the end these updates are better then
having a tool segfault because of a buffer overrun.Signed-off-by: John Fastabend

Users expect the up2tc mapping to be maintained across a DCB
enable/disable/enable transition. And since we maintain all
the other DCB attributes we should do this for up2tc mappings
as well just to be consistent. Also without this we break
user space applications that expect this to occur that
previously worked.Signed-off-by: John Fastabend
