The address range size calculation inside local_flush_tlb_kernel_range()
is being truncated by a too small size variable holder on 64-bit systems.
The truncated size can result in an erroneous tlbsize check that means we
sit spinning inside a loop trying to flush a hige number of TLB entries.
This is for all intents and purposes a system hang. Fix by using an
appropriately sized valiable to hold the size.[Ralf: Greg's original patch submission identified the issue and fixed one
instance in tlb-r4k.c but there there were several more. For consistency
I also modified tlb-r3k.c even though that file is only used on 32-bit.]Signed-off-by: Greg Ungerer

pfn_valid() is meant to be able to tell if a given PFN has valid memmap
associated with it or not. In FLATMEM, it is expected that holes always
have valid memmap as long as there is valid PFNs either side of the hole.
In SPARSEMEM, it is assumed that a valid section has a memmap for the
entire section.However, ARM and maybe other embedded architectures in the future free
memmap backing holes to save memory on the assumption the memmap is never
used. The page_zone linkages are then broken even though pfn_valid()
returns true. A walker of the full memmap must then do this additional
check to ensure the memmap they are looking at is sane by making sure the
zone and PFN linkages are still valid. This is expensive, but walkers of
the full memmap are extremely rare.This was caught before for FLATMEM and hacked around but it hits again for
SPARSEMEM because the page_zone linkages can look ok where the PFN linkages
are totally screwed. This looks like a hatchet job but the reality is that
any clean solution would end up consumning all the memory saved by punching
these unexpected holes in the memmap. For example, we tried marking the
memmap within the section invalid but the section size exceeds the size of
the hole in most cases so pfn_valid() starts returning false where valid
memmap exists. Shrinking the size of the section would increase memory
consumption offsetting the gains.This patch identifies when an architecture is punching unexpected holes
in the memmap that the memory model cannot automatically detect and sets
ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL. At the moment, this is restricted to EP93xx
which is the model sub-architecture this has been reported on but may expand
later. When set, walkers of the full memmap must call memmap_valid_within()
for each PFN and passing in what it expects the page and zone to be for
that PFN. If it finds the linkages to be broken, it assumes the memmap is
invalid for that PFN.Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman

After upgrading my distcc boxes from gcc 4.2.2 to 4.4.0, the function
graph tracer broke. This was discovered on my x86 boxes.The issue is that gcc used the same register for an output as it did for
an input in an asm statement. I first thought this was a bug in gcc and
reported it. I was notified that gcc was correct and that the output had
to be flagged as an "early clobber".I noticed that powerpc had the same issue and this patch fixes it.

Fix the clkdev API support for the ep93xx uart clocks.
The uarts available in the ep93xx have individual clock controls.
The current implementation assumes that the bootloader has enabled
the clocks before the kernel has booted. It also assumes that the
bootloader has set the UARTBAUD bit indicating that the uarts are
running off the 14.7456MHz external crystal.This fixes both issues. It also allows the uart clocks to be stopped
when there are no users.Tested-by: Matthias Kaehlcke

The OMAP3430ES2_SAVEANDRESTORE_SHIFT macro is used
by powerdomain code in
"1 << OMAP3430ES2_SAVEANDRESTORE_SHIFT" manner, but
the definition was also (1 << 4), meaning we actually
modified bit 16. So the definition needs to be 4.This fixes also a cold reset HW bug in OMAP3430 ES3.x
where some of the efuse bits are not isolated during
wake-up from off mode. This can cause randomish
cold resets with off mode. Enabling the USBTLL hardware
SAVEANDRESTORE causes the core power up assert to be

Xiaohui Xin and some other folks at Intel have been looking into what's
behind the performance hit of paravirt_ops when running native.It appears that the hit is entirely due to the paravirtualized
spinlocks introduced by:| commit 8efcbab674de2bee45a2e4cdf97de16b8e609ac8
| Date: Mon Jul 7 12:07:51 2008 -0700

| paravirt: introduce a "lock-byte" spinlock implementationThe extra call/return in the spinlock path is somehow
causing an increase in the cycles/instruction of somewhere around 2-7%
(seems to vary quite a lot from test to test). The working theory is
that the CPU's pipeline is getting upset about the
call->call->locked-op->return->return, and seems to be failing to
speculate (though I haven't seen anything definitive about the precise
reasons). This doesn't entirely make sense, because the performance
hit is also visible on unlock and other operations which don't involve
locked instructions. But spinlock operations clearly swamp all the
other pvops operations, even though I can't imagine that they're
nearly as common (there's only a .05% increase in instructions
executed).If I disable just the pv-spinlock calls, my tests show that pvops is
identical to non-pvops performance on native (my measurements show that
it is actually about .1% faster, but Xiaohui shows a .05% slowdown).Summary of results, averaging 10 runs of the "mmperf" test, using a
no-pvops build as baseline:nopv Pv-nospin Pv-spin
CPU cycles 100.00% 99.89% 102.18%
instructions 100.00% 100.10% 100.15%
CPI 100.00% 99.79% 102.03%
cache ref 100.00% 100.84% 100.28%
cache miss 100.00% 90.47% 88.56%
cache miss rate 100.00% 89.72% 88.31%
branches 100.00% 99.93% 100.04%
branch miss 100.00% 103.66% 107.72%
branch miss rt 100.00% 103.73% 107.67%
wallclock 100.00% 99.90% 102.20%The clear effect here is that the 2% increase in CPI is
directly reflected in the final wallclock time.(The other interesting effect is that the more ops are
out of line calls via pvops, the lower the cache access
and miss rates. Not too surprising, but it suggests that
the non-pvops kernel is over-inlined. On the flipside,
the branch misses go up correspondingly...)So, what's the fix?
Paravirt patching turns all the pvops calls into direct calls, so
_spin_lock etc do end up having direct calls. For example, the compiler
generated code for paravirtualized _spin_lock is:: mov %gs:0xb4c8,%rax
: incl 0xffffffffffffe044(%rax)
: callq *0xffffffff805a5b30
: retqThe indirect call will get patched to:
: mov %gs:0xb4c8,%rax
: incl 0xffffffffffffe044(%rax)
: callq
: nop; nop /* or whatever 2-byte nop */
: retqOne possibility is to inline _spin_lock, etc, when building an
optimised kernel (ie, when there's no spinlock/preempt
instrumentation/debugging enabled). That will remove the outer
call/return pair, returning the instruction stream to a single
call/return, which will presumably execute the same as the non-pvops
case. The downsides arel 1) it will replicate the
preempt_disable/enable code at eack lock/unlock callsite; this code is
fairly small, but not nothing; and 2) the spinlock definitions are
already a very heavily tangled mass of #ifdefs and other preprocessor
magic, and making any changes will be non-trivial.The other obvious answer is to disable pv-spinlocks. Making them a
separate config option is fairly easy, and it would be trivial to
enable them only when Xen is enabled (as the only non-default user).
But it doesn't really address the common case of a distro build which
is going to have Xen support enabled, and leaves the open question of
whether the native performance cost of pv-spinlocks is worth the
performance improvement on a loaded Xen system (10% saving of overall
system CPU when guests block rather than spin). Still it is a
reasonable short-term workaround.[ Impact: fix pvops performance regression when running native ]
