Commit fcb43042ef55d2f46b0efa5d7746967cef38f056 upstream

x86: fix cpu hotplug crash

Vegard Nossum reported crashes during cpu hotplug tests:

  http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&amp;m=121413950227884&amp;w=4

In function _cpu_up, the panic happens when calling
__raw_notifier_call_chain at the second time. Kernel doesn't panic when
calling it at the first time. If just say because of nr_cpu_ids, that's
not right.

By checking the source code, I found that function do_boot_cpu is the culprit.
Consider below call chain:
 _cpu_up=&gt;__cpu_up=&gt;smp_ops.cpu_up=&gt;native_cpu_up=&gt;do_boot_cpu.

So do_boot_cpu is called in the end. In do_boot_cpu, if
boot_error==true, cpu_clear(cpu, cpu_possible_map) is executed. So later
on, when _cpu_up calls __raw_notifier_call_chain at the second time to
report CPU_UP_CANCELED, because this cpu is already cleared from
cpu_possible_map, get_cpu_sysdev returns NULL.

Many resources are related to cpu_possible_map, so it's better not to
change it.

Below patch against 2.6.26-rc7 fixes it by removing the bit clearing in
cpu_possible_map.

Commit 11dbc963a8f6128595d0f6ecf138dc369e144997 upstream

ptrace GET/SET FPXREGS broken

When I update kernel 2.6.25 from 2.6.24, gdb does not work.
On 2.6.25, ptrace(PTRACE_GETFPXREGS, ...) returns ENODEV.

But 2.6.24 kernel's ptrace() returns EIO.
It is issue of compatibility.

I attached test program as pt.c and patch for fix it.

Commit 79c537998d143b127c8c662a403c3356cb885f1c upstream

the CPU hotplug problems (crashes under high-volume unplug+replug
tests) seem to be related to migrate_dead_tasks().

Firstly I added traces to see all tasks being migrated with
migrate_live_tasks() and migrate_dead_tasks(). On my setup the problem
pops up (the one with "se == NULL" in the loop of
pick_next_task_fair()) shortly after the traces indicate that some has
been migrated with migrate_dead_tasks()). btw., I can reproduce it
much faster now with just a plain cpu down/up loop.

[disclaimer] Well, unless I'm really missing something important in
this late hour [/desclaimer] pick_next_task() is not something
appropriate for migrate_dead_tasks() :-)

the following change seems to eliminate the problem on my setup
(although, I kept it running only for a few minutes to get a few
messages indicating migrate_dead_tasks() does move tasks and the
system is still ok)

commit ea7b44c8e6baa1a4507f05ba2c0009ac21c3fe0b upstream

On 9xx chips, bus mastering needs to be enabled at resume time for much of the
chip to function.  With this patch, vblank interrupts will work as expected
on resume, along with other chip functions.   Fixes kernel bugzilla #10844.

commit 87afd448b186c885d67a08b7417cd46253b6a9d6 upstream

Current memfree FW has a bug which in some cases, assumes that ICM
pages passed to it are cleared.  This patch uses __GFP_ZERO to
allocate all ICM pages passed to the FW.  Once firmware with a fix is
released, we can make the workaround conditional on firmware version.

This fixes the bug reported by Arthur Kepner &lt;akepner@sgi.com&gt; here:
http://lists.openfabrics.org/pipermail/general/2008-May/050026.html

[ Rewritten to be a one-liner using __GFP_ZERO instead of vmap()ing
  ICM memory and memset()ing it to 0. - Roland ]

commit 87afd448b186c885d67a08b7417cd46253b6a9d6 upstream

Current memfree FW has a bug which in some cases, assumes that ICM
pages passed to it are cleared.  This patch uses __GFP_ZERO to
allocate all ICM pages passed to the FW.  Once firmware with a fix is
released, we can make the workaround conditional on firmware version.

This fixes the bug reported by Arthur Kepner &lt;akepner@sgi.com&gt; here:
http://lists.openfabrics.org/pipermail/general/2008-May/050026.html

[ Rewritten to be a one-liner using __GFP_ZERO instead of vmap()ing
  ICM memory and memset()ing it to 0. - Roland ]
