When SMP_ON_UP is used and the spinlocks are inlined, we end up with
inline spinlocks in the exit code, with references from the SMP
alternatives section to the exit sections. This causes link time
errors. Avoid this by placing the exit sections in the init-discarded
region.Cc:

Ensure a predictable endian state when entering signal handlers. This

Commit 18991197b4b588255ccabf472ebc84db7b66a19c added --build-id
linker option when toolchain supports it. ARM one does, but for some
reason places the section at 0 when linker script doesn't mention it
explicitly.The 1e621a8e3752367d4aae78a8ab00a18fb2793f34 worked around the problem
removing this section from binary image with explicit objcopy options,
but it still exists in vmlinux, confusing tools like debuggers and perf.This problem was discussed here:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-May/015994.html
but the proposed changes to the linker script were substantial.This patch simply places NOTES (36 bytes long, at least when compiled
with CodeSourcery toolchain) between data and bss, which seem to be
the right place (and suggested by the sample linker script in
include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h).It is enough to place it correctly in vmlinux (so debuggers are happy):

On versions of the Cortex-A9 prior to r3p0, an interrupted ICIALLUIS
operation may prevent the completion of a following broadcasted
operation if the second operation is received by a CPU before the
ICIALLUIS has completed, potentially leading to corrupted entries in
the cache or TLB.This workaround sets a bit in the diagnostic register of the Cortex-A9,
causing CP15 maintenance operations to be uninterruptible.Acked-by: Catalin Marinas

Now that we can execute a CONFIG_SMP kernel on a uniprocessor system,
extra care has to be taken in the PMU IRQ affinity setting code to
ensure that we don't always fail to initialise.This patch changes the CPU PMU initialisation code so that when we
only have a single IRQ, whose affinity can not be changed at the
controller, we report success (0) rather than -EINVAL.Reported-by: Avik Sil

The effect of cache sync operation is to drain the store buffer and
wait for all internal buffers to be empty. In normal conditions, store
buffer is able to merge the normal memory writes within its 32-byte
data buffers. Due to this erratum present in r3p0, the effect of cache
sync operation on the store buffer still remains when the operation
completes. This means that the store buffer is always asked to drain
and this prevents it from merging any further writes.This can severely affect performance on the write traffic esp. on
Normal memory NC one.The proposed workaround is to replace the normal offset of cache sync
operation(0x730) by another offset targeting an unmapped PL310
register 0x740.Signed-off-by: srinidhi kasagar

Eric W. Biderman and Michal Hocko reported various memory corruptions
that we suspected to be related to a LIST head located on stack, that
was manipulated after thread left function frame (and eventually exited,
so its stack was freed and reused).Eric Dumazet suggested the problem was probably coming from commit
443457242beb (net: factorize

respective LIST_HEAD(single) before exiting.References: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/16/304

When list debugging is enabled, we aim to readably show list corruption
errors, and the basic list_add/list_del operations end up having extra
debugging code in them to do some basic validation of the list entries.However, "list_del_init()" and "list_move[_tail]()" ended up avoiding
the debug code due to how they were written. This fixes that.So the _next_ time we have list_move() problems with stale list entries,
we'll hopefully have an easier time finding them..Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Uwe pointed out that my alarm based UIE emulation is not sufficient
to replace the older timer/polling based UIE emulation on devices
where there is no alarm irq. This causes rtc devices without alarms
to return -EINVAL to UIE ioctls. The fix is to re-instate the old
timer/polling method for devices without alarm irqs.This patch reverts the following commits:
042620a018afcfba1d678062b62e46 - Remove UIE emulation
1daeddd5962acad1bea55e524fc0fa - Cleanup removed UIE emulation declaration
b5cc8ca1c9c3a37eaddf709b2fd3e1 - Remove Kconfig symbol for UIE emulationThe emulation mode will still need to be wired-in with a following

If management firmware is present and the device is down, the firmware

Without calling of netif_carrier_off at the end of the probe the operstate
is unknown when the device is initially opened. By default the carrier is
on so when the device is opened and netif_carrier_on is called the link
watch event is not fired and operstate remains zero (unknown).This patch fixes this behavior in forcedeth and r8169.

There is a double completion associated with error handling for RC QPs.
The sequence is:
- The do_rc_ack() routine fields an RNR nack and there are 0
rnr_retries configured on the QP.
- qib_error_qp() stops the pending timer
- qib_rc_send_complete() is called from sdma_complete()
- qib_rc_send_complete() starts the timer because the msb of the psn
just completed says an ack is needed.
- a bunch of flushes occur as ipoib posts WQEs to an error'ed QP
- rc_timeout() calls qib_restart_rc()
- qib_restart_rc() calls qib_send_complete() with a
IB_WC_RETRY_EXC_ERR on a wqe that has already been completed in the
pastThe fix avoids starting the timer since another packet will never
arrive.Signed-off-by: Mike Marciniszyn
