  • This resolves the conflict in the arch/arm/mach-s3c64xx/s3c6400.c file,
    and it fixes the build error in the arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c
    file, that the merge did not catch.

    The microcode_core.c patch was provided by Stephen Rothwell
    who was invaluable in the merge issues involved
    with the large sysdev removal process in the driver-core tree.

  • This silently was working for many years and stopped working on
    Niagara-T3 machines.

    We need to set the MSIQ to VALID before we can set it's state to IDLE.

    On Niagara-T3, setting the state to IDLE first was causing HV_EINVAL
    errors. The hypervisor documentation says, rather ambiguously, that
    the MSIQ must be "initialized" before one can set the state.

    I previously understood this to mean merely that a successful setconf()
    operation has been performed on the MSIQ, which we have done at this
    point. But it seems to also mean that it has been set VALID too.

  • This moves the 'cpu sysdev_class' over to a regular 'cpu' subsystem
    and converts the devices to regular devices. The sysdev drivers are
    implemented as subsystem interfaces now.

    After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
    sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.

    Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem infrastructure
    from sysdev devices, which are made available with this conversion.

  • Those two APIs were provided to optimize the calls of
    tick_nohz_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_enter() into a single
    irq disabled section. This way no interrupt happening in-between would
    needlessly process any RCU job.

    Now we are talking about an optimization for which benefits
    have yet to be measured. Let's start simple and completely decouple
    idle rcu and dyntick idle logics to simplify.

  • It is assumed that rcu won't be used once we switch to tickless
    mode and until we restart the tick. However this is not always
    true, as in x86-64 where we dereference the idle notifiers after
    the tick is stopped.

    To prepare for fixing this, add two new APIs:
    tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() and tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu().

    If no use of RCU is made in the idle loop between
    tick_nohz_enter_idle() and tick_nohz_exit_idle() calls, the arch
    must instead call the new *_norcu() version such that the arch doesn't
    need to call rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit().

    Otherwise the arch must call tick_nohz_enter_idle() and
    tick_nohz_exit_idle() and also call explicitly:

    - rcu_idle_enter() after its last use of RCU before the CPU is put
    to sleep.
    - rcu_idle_exit() before the first use of RCU after the CPU is woken
    up.

  • The tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() function, which tries to delay
    the next timer tick as long as possible, can be called from two
    places:

    - From the idle loop to start the dytick idle mode
    - From interrupt exit if we have interrupted the dyntick
    idle mode, so that we reprogram the next tick event in
    case the irq changed some internal state that requires this
    action.

    There are only few minor differences between both that
    are handled by that function, driven by the ts->inidle
    cpu variable and the inidle parameter. The whole guarantees
    that we only update the dyntick mode on irq exit if we actually
    interrupted the dyntick idle mode, and that we enter in RCU extended
    quiescent state from idle loop entry only.

    Split this function into:

    - tick_nohz_idle_enter(), which sets ts->inidle to 1, enters
    dynticks idle mode unconditionally if it can, and enters into RCU
    extended quiescent state.

    - tick_nohz_irq_exit() which only updates the dynticks idle mode
    when ts->inidle is set (ie: if tick_nohz_idle_enter() has been called).

    To maintain symmetry, tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick() has been renamed
    into tick_nohz_idle_exit().

    This simplifies the code and micro-optimize the irq exit path (no need
    for local_irq_save there). This also prepares for the split between
    dynticks and rcu extended quiescent state logics. We'll need this split to
    further fix illegal uses of RCU in extended quiescent states in the idle
    loop.

  • Now all ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP archs select HAVE_MEBLOCK_NODE_MAP -
    there's no user of early_node_map[] left. Kill early_node_map[] and
    replace ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP with HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP. Also,
    relocate for_each_mem_pfn_range() and helper from mm.h to memblock.h
    as page_alloc.c would no longer host an alternative implementation.

    This change is ultimately one to one mapping and shouldn't cause any
    observable difference; however, after the recent changes, there are
    some functions which now would fit memblock.c better than page_alloc.c
    and dependency on HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP instead of HAVE_MEMBLOCK
    doesn't make much sense on some of them. Further cleanups for
    functions inside HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP in mm.h would be nice.

  • memblock_init() initializes arrays for regions and memblock itself;
    however, all these can be done with struct initializers and
    memblock_init() can be removed. This patch kills memblock_init() and
    initializes memblock with struct initializer.

    The only difference is that the first dummy entries don't have .nid
    set to MAX_NUMNODES initially. This doesn't cause any behavior
    difference.

  • 24aa07882b (memblock, x86: Replace memblock_x86_reserve/free_range()
    with generic ones) removed arch/x86/include/asm/memblock.h and dropped
    its inclusion from include/linux/memblock.h which breaks other
    architectures which depended on the generic memblock.h pulling in the
    arch specific one.

    However, the proper fix isn't adding back the asm inclusion. memblock
    doesn't have any arch dependent part and doesn't need arch specific
    header file and asm/memblock.h files are either practically empty or
    contain mostly unrelated arch specific stuff.

    * In microblaze, sh, powerpc, sparc and openrisc, asm/memblock.h is
    either empty or just contains unused MEMBLOCK_DBG() macro. Remove
    them.

    * In arm and unicore32, asm/memblock.h contains arch specific stuff.
    Include it directly from its users. It might be a good idea to
    rename the header file to avoid confusion.

  • Conflicts & resolutions:

    * arch/x86/xen/setup.c

    dc91c728fd "xen: allow extra memory to be in multiple regions"
    24aa07882b "memblock, x86: Replace memblock_x86_reserve/free..."

    conflicted on xen_add_extra_mem() updates. The resolution is
    trivial as the latter just want to replace
    memblock_x86_reserve_range() with memblock_reserve().

    * drivers/pci/intel-iommu.c

    166e9278a3f "x86/ia64: intel-iommu: move to drivers/iommu/"
    5dfe8660a3d "bootmem: Replace work_with_active_regions() with..."

    conflicted as the former moved the file under drivers/iommu/.
    Resolved by applying the chnages from the latter on the moved
    file.

    * mm/Kconfig

    6661672053a "memblock: add NO_BOOTMEM config symbol"
    c378ddd53f9 "memblock, x86: Make ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK a config option"

    conflicted trivially. Both added config options. Just
    letting both add their own options resolves the conflict.

    * mm/memblock.c

    d1f0ece6cdc "mm/memblock.c: small function definition fixes"
    ed7b56a799c "memblock: Remove memblock_memory_can_coalesce()"

    confliected. The former updates function removed by the
    latter. Resolution is trivial.

  • Since commit 8a0a9bd4db63bc45e301, this comment in mmap_rnd() does not
    hold true as the value returned by get_random_int() will in fact be

    different every single call. Remove the comment and simplify the code
    back to its original desired form.

    This reverts commit a5adc91a4b44b5d1 which is no longer necessary and
    also fixes the sparc code that copied this same adjustment.

  • As per the comments added by this commit, %g2 turns out to not be a
    usable place to save away orig_i0 for syscall restart handling.

    In fact all of %g2, %g3, %g4, and %g5 are assumed to be saved across
    a system call by various bits of code in glibc.

    %g1 can't be used because that holds the syscall number, which would
    need to be saved and restored for syscall restart handling too, and
    that would only compound our problems :-)

    This leaves us with %g6 and %g7 which are for "system use". %g7 is
    used as the "thread register" by glibc, but %g6 is used as a compiler
    and assembler temporary scratch register. And in no instance is %g6
    used to hold a value across a system call.

    Therefore %g6 is safe for storing away orig_i0, at least for now.

  • Although we provide a proper way for a debugger to control whether
    syscall restart occurs, we run into problems because orig_i0 is not
    saved and restored properly.

    Luckily we can solve this problem without having to make debuggers
    aware of the issue. Across system calls, several registers are
    considered volatile and can be safely clobbered.

    Therefore we use the pt_regs save area of one of those registers, %g2,
    as a place to save and restore orig_i0.

    Debuggers transparently will do the right thing because they save and
    restore this register already.

  • The 802.1X EAPOL handshake hostapd does requires
    knowing whether the frame was ack'ed by the peer.
    Currently, we fudge this pretty badly by not even
    transmitting the frame as a normal data frame but
    injecting it with radiotap and getting the status
    out of radiotap monitor as well. This is rather
    complex, confuses users (mon.wlan0 presence) and
    doesn't work with all hardware.

    To get rid of that hack, introduce a real wifi TX
    status option for data frame transmissions.

    This works similar to the existing TX timestamping
    in that it reflects the SKB back to the socket's
    error queue with a SCM_WIFI_STATUS cmsg that has
    an int indicating ACK status (0/1).

    Since it is possible that at some point we will
    want to have TX timestamping and wifi status in a
    single errqueue SKB (there's little point in not
    doing that), redefine SO_EE_ORIGIN_TIMESTAMPING
    to SO_EE_ORIGIN_TXSTATUS which can collect more
    than just the timestamp; keep the old constant
    as an alias of course. Currently the internal APIs
    don't make that possible, but it wouldn't be hard
    to split them up in a way that makes it possible.

    Thanks to Neil Horman for helping me figure out
    the functions that add the control messages.
