Jan Beulich 78b89ecd73 i386: Fix section mismatches for init code with !HOTPLUG_CPU
Commit 0e83815be7 changed the
section the initial_code variable gets allocated in, in an
attempt to address a section conflict warning. This, however
created a new section conflict when building without
HOTPLUG_CPU. The apparently only (reasonable) way to address
this is to always use __REFDATA.

Once at it, also fix a second section mismatch when not using
HOTPLUG_CPU.

Thomas Gleixner 69ab849439 genirq: Wake up irq thread after action has been installed
The wake_up_process() of the new irq thread in __setup_irq() is too
early as the irqaction is not yet fully initialized especially
action->irq is not yet set. The interrupt thread might dereference the
wrong irq descriptor.

Move the wakeup after the action is installed and action->irq has been
set.

Ingo Molnar f738eb1b63 perf_counter: Fix the PARISC build
PARISC does not build:

/home/mingo/tip/kernel/perf_counter.c: In function 'perf_counter_index':
/home/mingo/tip/kernel/perf_counter.c:2016: error: 'PERF_COUNTER_INDEX_OFFSET' undeclared (first use in this function)
/home/mingo/tip/kernel/perf_counter.c:2016: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
/home/mingo/tip/kernel/perf_counter.c:2016: error: for each function it appears in.)

As PERF_COUNTER_INDEX_OFFSET is not defined.

Now, we could define it in the architecture - but lets also provide
a core default of 0 (which happens to be what all but one
architecture uses at the moment).

Architectures that need a different index offset should set this
value in their asm/perf_counter.h files.

For noMMU system when you use larger rootfs image
there is problem with using _end label because

we use still _end which is wrong. Larger mtd rootfs

Eric Dumazet c1a8f1f1c8 net: restore gnet_stats_basic to previous definition
In 5e140dfc1f "net: reorder struct Qdisc
for better SMP performance" the definition of struct gnet_stats_basic
changed incompatibly, as copies of this struct are shipped to
userland via netlink.

Restoring old behavior is not welcome, for performance reason.

Fix is to use a private structure for kernel, and
teach gnet_stats_copy_basic() to convert from kernel to user land,
using legacy structure (struct gnet_stats_basic)

Based on a report and initial patch from Michael Spang.

Suresh Siddha 1adcaafe74 x86, pat: Allow ISA memory range uncacheable mapping requests
Max Vozeler reported:
>  Bug 13877 -  bogl-term broken with CONFIG_X86_PAT=y, works with =n
>
>  strace of bogl-term:
>  814   mmap2(NULL, 65536, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, 4, 0)

>  814   write(2, "bogl: mmaping /dev/fb0: Resource temporarily unavailable\n",
>	       57) = 57

PAT code maps the ISA memory range as WB in the PAT attribute, so that
fixed range MTRR registers define the actual memory type (UC/WC/WT etc).

But the upper level is_new_memtype_allowed() API checks are failing,
as the request here is for UC and the return tracked type is WB (Tracked type is
WB as MTRR type for this legacy range potentially will be different for each
4k page).

Fix is_new_memtype_allowed() by always succeeding the ISA address range
checks, as the null PAT (WB) and def MTRR fixed range register settings
satisfy the memory type needs of the applications that map the ISA address
range.

Eric Paris 08e53fcb0d inotify: start watch descriptor count at 1
The inotify_add_watch man page specifies that inotify_add_watch() will
return a non-negative integer.  However, historically the inotify
watches started at 1, not at 0.

Turns out that the inotifywait program provided by the inotify-tools
package doesn't properly handle a 0 watch descriptor.  In 7e790dd5 we
changed from starting at 1 to starting at 0.  This patch starts at 1,
just like in previous kernels, but also just like in previous kernels
it's possible for it to wrap back to 0.  This preserves the kernel
functionality exactly like it was before the patch (neither method broke
the spec)

Ingo Molnar e412cd257e x86, mce: Don't initialize MCEs on unknown CPUs
An older test-box started hanging at the following point during
bootup:

 [    0.022996] Mount-cache hash table entries: 512
 [    0.024996] Initializing cgroup subsys debug
 [    0.025996] Initializing cgroup subsys cpuacct
 [    0.026995] Initializing cgroup subsys devices
 [    0.027995] Initializing cgroup subsys freezer
 [    0.028995] mce: CPU supports 5 MCE banks

I've bisected it down to commit 4efc0670 ("x86, mce: use 64bit
machine check code on 32bit"), which utilizes the MCE code on
32-bit systems too.

The problem is caused by this detail in my config:

  # CONFIG_CPU_SUP_INTEL is not set

This disables the quirks in mce_cpu_quirks() but still enables
MCE support - which then hangs due to the missing quirk
workaround needed on this CPU:

	if (c->x86 == 6 && c->x86_model < 0x1A && banks > 0)
		mce_banks[0].init = 0;

The safe solution is to not initialize MCEs if we dont know on
what CPU we are running (or if that CPU's support code got
disabled in the config).

Also be a bit more defensive on 32-bit systems: dont do a
boot-time dump of pending MCEs not just on the specific system
that we found a problem with (Pentium-M), but earlier ones as
well.

Now this problem is probably not common and disabling CPU
support is rare - but still being more defensive in something
we turned on for a wide range of CPUs is prudent.

Paul Mackerras e1ac3614ff perf_counter: Check task on counter read IPI
In general, code in perf_counter.c that is called through an
IPI checks, for per-task counters, that the counter's task is
still the current task.  This is to handle the race condition
where the cpu switches from the task we want to another task in
the interval between sending the IPI and the IPI arriving and
being handled on the target CPU.

For some reason, __perf_counter_read is missing this check, yet
there is no reason why the race condition can't occur.  This
adds a check that the current task is the one we want.  If it
isn't, we just return.  In that case the counter->count value
should be up to date, since it will have been updated when the
counter was scheduled out, which must have happened since the
IPI was sent.

I don't have an example of an actual failure due to this race,
but it seems obvious that it could occur and we need to guard
against it.

Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz c7f6fa4411 x86, mce: don't log boot MCEs on Pentium M (model == 13) CPUs
On my legacy Pentium M laptop (Acer Extensa 2900) I get bogus MCE on a cold
boot with CONFIG_X86_NEW_MCE enabled, i.e. (after decoding it with mcelog):

MCE 0
HARDWARE ERROR. This is *NOT* a software problem!
Please contact your hardware vendor
CPU 0 BANK 1 MCG status:
MCi status:
Error overflow
Uncorrected error
Error enabled
Processor context corrupt
MCA: Data CACHE Level-1 UNKNOWN Error
STATUS f200000000000195 MCGSTATUS 0

[ The other STATUS values observed: f2000000000001b5 (... UNKNOWN error)
  and f200000000000115 (... READ Error).

  To verify that this is not a CONFIG_X86_NEW_MCE bug I also modified
  the CONFIG_X86_OLD_MCE code (which doesn't log any MCEs) to dump
  content of STATUS MSR before it is cleared during initialization. ]

Since the bogus MCE results in a kernel taint (which in turn disables
lockdep support) don't log boot MCEs on Pentium M (model == 13) CPUs
by default ("mce=bootlog" boot parameter can be be used to get the old
behavior).

Christoph Hellwig bc990f5cb4 xfs: fix locking in xfs_iget_cache_hit
The locking in xfs_iget_cache_hit currently has numerous problems:

 - we clear the reclaim tag without i_flags_lock which protects
   modifications to it
 - we call inode_init_always which can sleep with pag_ici_lock
   held (this is oss.sgi.com BZ #819)
 - we acquire and drop i_flags_lock a lot and thus provide no
   consistency between the various flags we set/clear under it

This patch fixes all that with a major revamp of the locking in
the function.  The new version acquires i_flags_lock early and
only drops it once we need to call into inode_init_always or before
calling xfs_ilock.

This patch fixes a bug seen in the wild where we race modifying the
reclaim tag.
