[MIPS] vmlinux.lds.S: Handle note sections
[MIPS] Fix value of O_TRUNC
For some reason old binutils genertate larger headers so increase the text
offset of the vdso to avoid linker errors.
Roland McGrath explains:
"There are extra symbols in the '.dynsym' section that are responsible
for the size difference (They also cause corresponding inflation in
'.gnu.version')
Older ld's wrongly generated these unneeded symbols in .dynsym. This
was fixed not all that long ago (2006); binutils-2.17.50.0.6 might be
the first fixed version, but I have not verified for sure where the
cutoff was.
The unneeded symbols et al from old ld add almost 700 bytes excess.
This limits fairly tightly the amount by which the actual text and
data in the vDSO can grow in the future without pushing the whole
file over 4kb. If it does grow later on, we should consider changing
the layout with a config option or something to pack it better
without that padding, when building the kernel with newer binutils."

[PATCH] libertas: build problems when partially modular
Linas reported me that some machines were crashing at boot in
quirk_e100_interrupt. It appears that this quirk is doing an ioremap
directly on a PCI BAR value, which isn't legal and will cause all sorts
of bad things to happen on architectures where PCI BARs don't directly
match processor bus addresses.
This fixes it by using the proper PCI resources instead which is possible
since the quirk has been moved by a previous commit to happen late enough
for that.

tcp4_md5sig_key and tcp6_md5sig_key need to start with
the exact same members as tcp_md5sig_key. Because they
are both cast to that type by tcp_v{4,6}_md5_do_lookup().
Unfortunately tcp{4,6}_md5sig_key use a u16 for the key
length instead of a u8, which is what tcp_md5sig_key
uses. This just so happens to work by accident on
little-endian, but on big-endian it doesn't.
Instead of casting, just place tcp_md5sig_key as the first member of
the address-family specific structures, adjust the access sites, and
kill off the ugly casts.

The new behaviour of CFS exposes a race which occurs if a switch is

The process with vc->vt_pid is signaled before vc->vt_newvt is set.
This causes the switch to fail when triggered by the monitoing process
because the target is still -1.

reset vt_newvt to -1, so this works for that case too. - Linus ]

This fixes kernel bugzilla #5731
It should generate an empty packet for datagram protocols when the
socket is connected, for one.
The check is doubly-wrong because all that a write() can be is a
sendmsg() call with a NULL msg_control and a single entry iovec. No
special semantics should be assigned to it, therefore the zero length
check should be removed entirely.
This matches the behavior of BSD and several other systems.
Alan Cox notes that SuSv3 says the behavior of a zero length write on
non-files is "unspecified", but that's kind of useless since BSD has
defined this behavior for a quarter century and BSD is essentially
what application folks code to.

Calling handle_futex_death in exit_robust_list for the different robust
mutexes of a thread basically frees the mutex. Another thread might grab
the lock immediately which updates the next pointer of the mutex.
fetch_robust_entry over the next pointer might therefore branch into the
robust mutex list of a different thread. This can cause two problems: 1)
some mutexes held by the dead thread are not getting freed and 2) some
mutexs held by a different thread are freed.
The next point need to be read before calling handle_futex_death.

Lachlan McIlroy says:
It tried to fix an issue where log replay is replaying an inode cluster
initialisation transaction that should not be replayed because the inode
cluster on disk is more up to date. Since we don't log file sizes (we
rely on inode flushing to get them to disk) then we can't just replay
all the transations in the log and expect the inode to be completely
restored. We lose file size updates. Unfortunately this fix is causing
more (serious) problems than it is fixing.

The comment being removed by this patch is incorrect and misleading.
In the following situation:
1. load ...
2. store 1 -> X
3. wmb
4. rmb
5. load a <- Y
6. store ...
4 will only ensure ordering of 1 with 5.
3 will only ensure ordering of 2 with 6.
Further, a CPU with strictly in-order stores will still only provide that
2 and 6 are ordered (effectively, it is the same as a weakly ordered CPU
with wmb after every store).
In all cases, 5 may still be executed before 2 is visible to other CPUs!
The additional piece of the puzzle that mb() provides is the store/load
ordering, which fundamentally cannot be achieved with any combination of
rmb()s and wmb()s.
This can be an unexpected result if one expected any sort of global ordering
guarantee to barriers (eg. that the barriers themselves are sequentially
consistent with other types of barriers). However sfence or lfence barriers
need only provide an ordering partial ordering of memory operations -- Consider
that wmb may be implemented as nothing more than inserting a special barrier
entry in the store queue, or, in the case of x86, it can be a noop as the store
queue is in order. And an rmb may be implemented as a directive to prevent
subsequent loads only so long as their are no previous outstanding loads (while
there could be stores still in store queues).
I can actually see the occasional load/store being reordered around lfence on
my core2. That doesn't prove my above assertions, but it does show the comment
is wrong (unless my program is -- can send it out by request).
So:
mb() and smp_mb() always have and always will require a full mfence
or lock prefixed instruction on x86. And we should remove this comment.

1/ ops_complete_biofill tried to avoid calling handle_stripe since all the
state necessary to return read completions is available. However the
process of determining whether more read requests are pending requires
locking the stripe (to block add_stripe_bio from updating dev->toead).
ops_complete_biofill can run in tasklet context, so rather than upgrading
all the stripe locks from spin_lock to spin_lock_bh this patch just
unconditionally reschedules handle_stripe after completing the read
request.
2/ ops_complete_biofill needlessly qualified processing R5_Wantfill with
dev->toread. The result being that the 'biofill' pending bit is cleared
before handling the pending read-completions on dev->read. R5_Wantfill can
be unconditionally handled because the 'biofill' pending bit prevents new
R5_Wantfill requests from being seen by ops_run_biofill and
ops_complete_biofill.

[PATCH] missing null termination in power supply uevent
This is an addendum to commit 0e6e7416 ("IB/mlx4: Handle new FW
requirement for send request prefetching"). We also need to handle
prefetch marking properly for S/G segments, or else the HCA may end up
processing S/G segments that are not fully written and end up sending
the wrong data. This can actually cause data corruption in practice,
especially on systems with relatively slow CPUs (where the HCA is more
likely to prefetch while the CPU is in the middle of writing a work
request into memory).
We write S/G segments in reverse order into the WQE, in order to
guarantee that the first dword of all cachelines containing S/G
segments is written last (overwriting the headroom invalidation
pattern). The entire cacheline will thus contain valid data when the
invalidation pattern is overwritten.

This reverts commit e66485d747505e9d960b864fc6c37f8b2afafaf0, since
Rafael Wysocki noticed that the change only works for his in -mm, not in
mainline (and that both "noapictimer" _and_ "apicmaintimer" are broken
on his hardware, but that's apparently not a regression, just a symptom
of the same issue that causes the automatic apic timer disable to not
work).
It turns out that it really doesn't work correctly on x86-64, since
x86-64 doesn't use the generic clock events for timers yet.
Thanks to Rafal for testing, and here's the ugly details on x86-64 as
per Thomas:
"I just looked into the code and the logic vs. noapictimer on SMP is
completely broken.
On i386 the noapictimer option not only disables the local APIC
timer, it also registers the CPUs for broadcasting via IPI on SMP
systems.
The x86-64 code uses the broadcast only when the local apic timer is
active, i.e. "noapictimer" is not on the command line. This defeats
the whole purpose of "noapictimer". It should be there to make boxen
work, where the local APIC timer actually has a hardware problem,
e.g. the nx6325.
The current implementation of x86_64 only fixes the ACPI c-states
related problem where the APIC timer stops in C3(2), nothing else.
On nx6325 and other AMD X2 equipped systems which have the C1E
enabled we run into the following:
PIT keeps jiffies (and the system) running, but the local APIC timer
interrupts can get out of sync due to this C1E effect.
I don't think this is a critical problem, but it is wrong
nevertheless.
I think it's safe to revert the C1E patch and postpone the fix to the
clock events conversion."
On further reflection, Thomas noted:
"It's even worse than I thought on the first check:
"noapictimer" on the command line of an SMP box prevents _ONLY_ the
boot CPU apic timer from being used. But the secondary CPU is still
unconditionally setting up the APIC timer and uses the non
calibrated variable calibration_result, which is of course 0, to
setup the APIC timer. Wreckage guaranteed."
so we'll just have to wait for the x86 merge to hopefully fix this up
for x86-64.

In a desparate attempt to fix the suspend/resume problem on Andrews
VAIO I added a workaround which enforced the broadcast of the oneshot
timer on resume. This was actually resolving the problem on the VAIO
but was just a stupid workaround, which was not tackling the root
cause: the assignement of lower idle C-States in the ACPI processor_idle
code. The cpuidle patches, which utilize the dynamic tick feature and
go faster into deeper C-states exposed the problem again. The correct
solution is the previous patch, which prevents lower C-states across
the suspend/resume.
Remove the enforcement code, including the conditional broadcast timer
arming, which helped to pamper over the real problem for quite a time.
The oneshot broadcast flag for the cpu, which runs the resume code can
never be set at the time when this code is executed. It only gets set,
when the CPU is entering a lower idle C-State.

device_suspend() calls ACPI suspend functions, which seems to have undesired
side effects on lower idle C-states. It took me some time to realize that
especially the VAIO BIOSes (both Andrews jinxed UP and my elfstruck SMP one)
show this effect. I'm quite sure that other bug reports against suspend/resume
about turning the system into a brick have the same root cause.
After fishing in the dark for quite some time, I realized that removing the ACPI
processor module before suspend (this removes the lower C-state functionality)
made the problem disappear. Interestingly enough the propability of having a
bricked box is influenced by various factors (interrupts, size of the ram image,
...). Even adding a bunch of printks in the wrong places made the problem go
away. The previous periodic tick implementation simply pampered over the
problem, which explains why the dyntick / clockevents changes made this more
prominent.
We avoid complex functionality during the boot process and we have to do the
same during suspend/resume. It is a similar scenario and equaly fragile.
Add suspend / resume functions to the ACPI processor code and disable the lower
idle C-states across suspend/resume. Fall back to the default idle
implementation (halt) instead.

No, I didn't want to do this, but we had more stuff go in after -rc8
than we had in the previous -rc. Gaah.
For some reason old binutils genertate larger headers so increase the text
offset of the vdso to avoid linker errors.
Roland McGrath explains:
"There are extra symbols in the '.dynsym' section that are responsible
for the size difference (They also cause corresponding inflation in
'.gnu.version')
Older ld's wrongly generated these unneeded symbols in .dynsym. This
was fixed not all that long ago (2006); binutils-2.17.50.0.6 might be
the first fixed version, but I have not verified for sure where the
cutoff was.
The unneeded symbols et al from old ld add almost 700 bytes excess.
This limits fairly tightly the amount by which the actual text and
data in the vDSO can grow in the future without pushing the whole
file over 4kb. If it does grow later on, we should consider changing
the layout with a config option or something to pack it better
without that padding, when building the kernel with newer binutils."

Based upon a report and initial patch by Peter Lieven.
tcp4_md5sig_key and tcp6_md5sig_key need to start with
the exact same members as tcp_md5sig_key. Because they
are both cast to that type by tcp_v{4,6}_md5_do_lookup().
Unfortunately tcp{4,6}_md5sig_key use a u16 for the key
length instead of a u8, which is what tcp_md5sig_key
uses. This just so happens to work by accident on
little-endian, but on big-endian it doesn't.
Instead of casting, just place tcp_md5sig_key as the first member of
the address-family specific structures, adjust the access sites, and
kill off the ugly casts.

It should generate an empty packet for datagram protocols when the
socket is connected, for one.
The check is doubly-wrong because all that a write() can be is a
sendmsg() call with a NULL msg_control and a single entry iovec. No
special semantics should be assigned to it, therefore the zero length
check should be removed entirely.
This matches the behavior of BSD and several other systems.
Alan Cox notes that SuSv3 says the behavior of a zero length write on
non-files is "unspecified", but that's kind of useless since BSD has
defined this behavior for a quarter century and BSD is essentially
what application folks code to.

Calling handle_futex_death in exit_robust_list for the different robust
mutexes of a thread basically frees the mutex. Another thread might grab
the lock immediately which updates the next pointer of the mutex.
fetch_robust_entry over the next pointer might therefore branch into the
robust mutex list of a different thread. This can cause two problems: 1)
some mutexes held by the dead thread are not getting freed and 2) some
mutexs held by a different thread are freed.

all the transations in the log and expect the inode to be completely
restored. We lose file size updates. Unfortunately this fix is causing

The comment being removed by this patch is incorrect and misleading.
In the following situation:
1. load ...
2. store 1 -> X
3. wmb
4. rmb
5. load a <- Y
6. store ...
4 will only ensure ordering of 1 with 5.
3 will only ensure ordering of 2 with 6.
Further, a CPU with strictly in-order stores will still only provide that
2 and 6 are ordered (effectively, it is the same as a weakly ordered CPU
with wmb after every store).
In all cases, 5 may still be executed before 2 is visible to other CPUs!
The additional piece of the puzzle that mb() provides is the store/load
ordering, which fundamentally cannot be achieved with any combination of
rmb()s and wmb()s.
This can be an unexpected result if one expected any sort of global ordering
guarantee to barriers (eg. that the barriers themselves are sequentially
consistent with other types of barriers). However sfence or lfence barriers
need only provide an ordering partial ordering of memory operations -- Consider
that wmb may be implemented as nothing more than inserting a special barrier
entry in the store queue, or, in the case of x86, it can be a noop as the store
queue is in order. And an rmb may be implemented as a directive to prevent
subsequent loads only so long as their are no previous outstanding loads (while
there could be stores still in store queues).
I can actually see the occasional load/store being reordered around lfence on
my core2. That doesn't prove my above assertions, but it does show the comment
is wrong (unless my program is -- can send it out by request).
So:
mb() and smp_mb() always have and always will require a full mfence
or lock prefixed instruction on x86. And we should remove this comment.

1/ ops_complete_biofill tried to avoid calling handle_stripe since all the

process of determining whether more read requests are pending requires
locking the stripe (to block add_stripe_bio from updating dev->toead).
ops_complete_biofill can run in tasklet context, so rather than upgrading
all the stripe locks from spin_lock to spin_lock_bh this patch just
unconditionally reschedules handle_stripe after completing the read
request.
2/ ops_complete_biofill needlessly qualified processing R5_Wantfill with
dev->toread. The result being that the 'biofill' pending bit is cleared
before handling the pending read-completions on dev->read. R5_Wantfill can
be unconditionally handled because the 'biofill' pending bit prevents new
R5_Wantfill requests from being seen by ops_run_biofill and
ops_complete_biofill.

This is an addendum to commit 0e6e7416 ("IB/mlx4: Handle new FW
requirement for send request prefetching"). We also need to handle
prefetch marking properly for S/G segments, or else the HCA may end up
processing S/G segments that are not fully written and end up sending
the wrong data. This can actually cause data corruption in practice,
especially on systems with relatively slow CPUs (where the HCA is more
likely to prefetch while the CPU is in the middle of writing a work
request into memory).
We write S/G segments in reverse order into the WQE, in order to
guarantee that the first dword of all cachelines containing S/G
segments is written last (overwriting the headroom invalidation
pattern). The entire cacheline will thus contain valid data when the
invalidation pattern is overwritten.

This reverts commit e66485d747505e9d960b864fc6c37f8b2afafaf0, since
Rafael Wysocki noticed that the change only works for his in -mm, not in
mainline (and that both "noapictimer" _and_ "apicmaintimer" are broken
on his hardware, but that's apparently not a regression, just a symptom
of the same issue that causes the automatic apic timer disable to not
work).
It turns out that it really doesn't work correctly on x86-64, since
x86-64 doesn't use the generic clock events for timers yet.
Thanks to Rafal for testing, and here's the ugly details on x86-64 as
per Thomas:
"I just looked into the code and the logic vs. noapictimer on SMP is
completely broken.
On i386 the noapictimer option not only disables the local APIC
timer, it also registers the CPUs for broadcasting via IPI on SMP
systems.
The x86-64 code uses the broadcast only when the local apic timer is
active, i.e. "noapictimer" is not on the command line. This defeats
the whole purpose of "noapictimer". It should be there to make boxen
work, where the local APIC timer actually has a hardware problem,
e.g. the nx6325.
The current implementation of x86_64 only fixes the ACPI c-states
related problem where the APIC timer stops in C3(2), nothing else.
On nx6325 and other AMD X2 equipped systems which have the C1E
enabled we run into the following:
PIT keeps jiffies (and the system) running, but the local APIC timer
interrupts can get out of sync due to this C1E effect.
I don't think this is a critical problem, but it is wrong
nevertheless.
I think it's safe to revert the C1E patch and postpone the fix to the
clock events conversion."
On further reflection, Thomas noted:
"It's even worse than I thought on the first check:
"noapictimer" on the command line of an SMP box prevents _ONLY_ the
boot CPU apic timer from being used. But the secondary CPU is still
unconditionally setting up the APIC timer and uses the non
calibrated variable calibration_result, which is of course 0, to
setup the APIC timer. Wreckage guaranteed."
so we'll just have to wait for the x86 merge to hopefully fix this up
for x86-64.

In a desparate attempt to fix the suspend/resume problem on Andrews
VAIO I added a workaround which enforced the broadcast of the oneshot
timer on resume. This was actually resolving the problem on the VAIO
but was just a stupid workaround, which was not tackling the root
cause: the assignement of lower idle C-States in the ACPI processor_idle
code. The cpuidle patches, which utilize the dynamic tick feature and
go faster into deeper C-states exposed the problem again. The correct
solution is the previous patch, which prevents lower C-states across
the suspend/resume.
Remove the enforcement code, including the conditional broadcast timer
arming, which helped to pamper over the real problem for quite a time.
The oneshot broadcast flag for the cpu, which runs the resume code can
never be set at the time when this code is executed. It only gets set,
