Mauro Carvalho Chehab accf74fff3 i7core_edac: don't use a freed mci struct
This is a nasty bug. Since kobject count will be reduced by zero by
edac_mc_del_mc(), and this triggers the kobj release method, the
mci memory will be freed automatically. So, all we have left is ctl_name,
as shown by enabling debug:

[   80.822186] EDAC DEBUG: in drivers/edac/edac_mc_sysfs.c, line at 1020: edac_remove_sysfs_mci_device()  remove_link

[   80.888043] EDAC DEBUG: in drivers/edac/i7core_edac.c, line at 1232: drivers/edac/i7core_edac.c: i7core_put_devices()

Also, kfree(mci) shouldn't happen at the kobj.release, as it happens
when edac_remove_sysfs_mci_device() is called, but the logic is:
	edac_remove_sysfs_mci_device(mci);
	edac_printk(KERN_INFO, EDAC_MC,
		"Removed device %d for %s %s: DEV %s\n", mci->mc_idx,
		mci->mod_name, mci->ctl_name, edac_dev_name(mci));
So, as the edac_printk() needs the mci struct, this generates an OOPS.

Borislav Petkov 00740c5854 amd64_edac: Fix driver module removal
f4347553b3 removed the edac polling
mechanism in favor of using a notifier chain for conveying MCE
information to edac. However, the module removal path didn't test
whether the driver had setup the polling function workqueue at all and
the rmmod process was hanging in the kernel at try_to_del_timer_sync()
in the cancel_delayed_work() path, trying to cancel an uninitialized
work struct.

Fix that by adding a balancing check to the workqueue removal path.

Jesper Dangaard Brouer 458e5ff13e edac: core: remove completion-wait for complete with rcu_barrier
Module edac_core.ko uses call_rcu() callbacks in edac_device.c, edac_mc.c
and edac_pci.c.

They all use a wait_for_completion() scheme, but this scheme it not 100%
safe on multiple CPUs.  See the _rcu_barrier() implementation which
explains why extra precausion is needed.

The patch adds a comment about rcu_barrier() and as a precausion calls
rcu_barrier().  A maintainer needs to look at removing the
wait_for_completion code.

which is included in every delayed_work is the first member of that

use to_delayed_work() instead, which doesn't make such an assumption.

Doug Thompson bce19683c1 drivers/edac: fix reset edac_mc pollmsec
This fixes a deadlock that could occur on a 'setup' and 'teardown' sequence of
the workq for a edac_mc control structure instance.  A similiar fix was
previously implemented for the edac_device code.

In addition, the edac_mc device code there was missing code to allow the workq
period valu to be altered via sysfs control.

This patch adds that fix on the code, and allows for the changing of the
period value as well.

Doug Thompson 8096cfafbb drivers/edac: fix edac_mc sysfs completion code
This patch refactors the 'releasing' of kobjects for the edac_mc type of
device.  The correct pattern of kobject release is followed.

As internal kobjs are allocated they bump a ref count on the top level kobj.
It in turn has a module ref count on the edac_core module.  When internal
kobjects are released, they dec the ref count on the top level kobj.  When the
top level kobj reaches zero, it decrements the ref count on the edac_core
object, allow it to be unloaded, as all resources have all now been released.

Douglas Thompson e27e3dac65 drivers/edac: add edac_device class
This patch adds the new 'class' of object to be managed, named: 'edac_device'.

As a peer of the 'edac_mc' class of object, it provides a non-memory centric
view of an ERROR DETECTING device in hardware. It provides a sysfs interface
and an abstraction for varioius EDAC type devices.

Multiple 'instances' within the class are possible, with each 'instance'
able to have multiple 'blocks', and each 'block' having 'attributes'.

At the 'block' level there are the 'ce_count' and 'ue_count' fields
which the device driver can update and/or call edac_device_handle_XX()
functions. At each higher level are additional 'total' count fields,
which are a summation of counts below that level.

This 'edac_device' has been used to capture and present ECC errors
which are found in a a L1 and L2 system on a per CORE/CPU basis.

Douglas Thompson 7c9281d76c drivers/edac: split out functions to unique files
This is a large patch to refactor the original EDAC module in the kernel
and to break it up into better file granularity, such that each source
file contains a given subsystem of the EDAC CORE.

Originally, the EDAC 'core' was contained in one source file: edac_mc.c
with it corresponding edac_mc.h file.

Now, there are the following files:

edac_module.c	The main module init/exit function and other overhead
edac_mc.c	Code handling the edac_mc class of object
edac_mc_sysfs.c	Code handling for sysfs presentation
edac_pci_sysfs.c  Code handling for PCI sysfs presentation
edac_core.h	CORE .h include file for 'edac_mc' and 'edac_device' drivers
edac_module.h	Internal CORE .h include file

This forms a foundation upon which a later patch can create the 'edac_device'
class of object code in a new file 'edac_device.c'.

Rafael J. Wysocki 8314418629 Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default
Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves.  This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.

It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.

The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie.  to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE.  It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear.  Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

Frithiof Jensen 4f423ddf56 [PATCH] EDAC: Add memory scrubbing controls API to core
This is an attempt of providing an interface for memory scrubbing control in
EDAC.

This patch modifies the EDAC Core to provide the Interface for memory
controller modules to implment.

The following things are still outstanding:

 - K8 is the first implemenation,

   The patch provide a method of configuring the K8 hardware memory scrubber
   via the 'mcX' sysfs directory.  There should be some fallback to a generic
   scrubber implemented in software if the hardware does not support
   scrubbing.

   Or .. the scrubbing sysfs entry should not be visible at all.

 - Only works with SDRAM, not cache,

   The K8 can scrub cache and l2cache also - but I think this is not so
   useful as the cache is busy all the time (one hopes).

   One would also expect that cache scrubbing requires hardware support.

 - Error Handling,

   I would like that errors are returned to the user in "terms of file
   system".

 - Presentation,

   I chose Bandwidth in Bytes/Second as a representation of the scrubbing
   rate for the following reasons:

   I like that the sysfs entries are sort-of textual, related to something
   that makes sense instead of magical values that must be looked up.

   "My People" wants "% main memory scrubbed per hour" others prefer "%
   memory bandwidth used" as representation, "bandwith used" makes it easy to
   calculate both versions in one-liner scripts.

   If one later wants to scrub cache, the scaling becomes wierd for K8
   changing from "blocks of 64 byte memory" to "blocks of 64 cache lines" to
   "blocks of 64 bit".  Using "bandwidth used" makes sense in all three cases,
   (I.M.O.  anyway ;-).

 - Discovery,

   There is no way to discover the possible settings and what they do
   without reading the code and the documentation.

   *I* do not know how to make that work in a practical way.

 - Bugs(??),

   other tools can set invalid values in the memory scrub control register,
   those will read back as '-1', requiring the user to reset the scrub rate.
   This is how *I* think it should be.

 - Afflicting other areas of code,

   I made changes to edac_mc.c and edac_mc.h which will show up globally -
   this is not nice, it would be better that the memory scrubbing fuctionality
   and interface could be entirely contained within the memory controller it
   applies to.

edac_mc.c and its .h file is a CORE helper module for EDAC
driver modules. This provides the abstraction for device specific
drivers. It is fine to modify this CORE to provide help for
new features of the the drivers

Doug Thompson 49c0dab7e6 [PATCH] Fix and enable EDAC sysfs operation
When EDAC was first introduced into the kernel it had a sysfs interface,
but due to some problems it was disabled in 2.6.16 and remained disabled in
2.6.17.

With feedback, several of the control and attribute files of that interface
had some good constructive feedback.  PCI Blacklist/Whitelist was a major
set which has design issues and it has been removed in this patch.  Instead
of storing PCI broken parity status in EDAC, it has been moved to the
pci_dev structure itself by a previous PCI patch.  A future patch will
enable that feature in EDAC by utilizing the pci_dev info.

The sysfs is now enabled in this patch, with a minimal set of control and
attribute files for examining EDAC state and for enabling/disabling the
memory and PCI operations.

The Documentation for EDAC has also been updated to reflect the new state
of EDAC operation.

Doug Thompson 2d7bbb91c8 [PATCH] EDAC: mc numbers refactor 1-of-2
Remove add_mc_to_global_list().  In next patch, this function will be
reimplemented with different semantics.

1 Reimplement add_mc_to_global_list() with semantics that allow the caller to
  determine the ID number for a mem_ctl_info structure.  Then modify
  edac_mc_add_mc() so that the caller specifies the ID number for the new
  mem_ctl_info structure.  Platform-specific code should be able to assign the
  ID numbers in a platform-specific manner.  For instance, on Opteron it makes
  sense to have the ID of the mem_ctl_info structure match the ID of the node
  that the memory controller belongs to.

2 Modify callers of edac_mc_add_mc() so they use the new semantics.

Doug Thompson 37f04581ab [PATCH] EDAC: PCI device to DEVICE cleanup
Change MC drivers from using CVS revision strings for their version number,
Now each driver has its own local string.

Remove some PCI dependencies from the core EDAC module.  Made the code 'struct
device' centric instead of 'struct pci_dev' Most of the code changes here are
from a patch by Dave Jiang.  It may be best to eventually move the
PCI-specific code into a separate source file.

Dave Peterson 18dbc337af [PATCH] EDAC: protect memory controller list
- Fix code so we always hold mem_ctls_mutex while we are stepping
  through the list of mem_ctl_info structures.  Otherwise bad things
  may happen if one task is stepping through the list while another
  task is modifying it.  We may eventually want to use reference
  counting to manage the mem_ctl_info structures.  In the meantime we
  may as well fix this bug.

- Don't disable interrupts while we are walking the list of
  mem_ctl_info structures in check_mc_devices().  This is unnecessary.

Dave Peterson 472678ebd3 [PATCH] EDAC: kobject/sysfs fixes
- After we unregister a kobject, wait for our kobject release method
  to call complete().  This causes us to wait until the kobject
  reference count reaches 0.  Otherwise, a task accessing the EDAC
  sysfs interface can hold the reference count above 0 until after the
  EDAC module has been unloaded.  When the reference count finally
  drops to 0, this will result in an attempt to call our release
  method inside the EDAC module after the module has already been
  unloaded.

  This isn't the best fix, since a process can get stuck sleeping forever
  uninterruptibly if the user does the following:

      rmmod my_module < /sys/my_sysfs/file

  I'll go back and implement a better fix later.  However this should
  be ok for now.

- Call edac_remove_sysfs_mci_device() from edac_mc_del_mc() rather
  than from edac_mc_free().  Since edac_mc_add_mc() calls
  edac_create_sysfs_mci_device(), edac_mc_del_mc() should call
  edac_remove_sysfs_mci_device().
