powerpc: Copy down exception vectors after feature fixups

2011-11-21T22:31:25+00:00

commit d715e433b7ad19c02fc4becf0d5e9a59f97925de upstream.

kdump fails because we try to execute an HV only instruction. Feature
fixups are being applied after we copy the exception vectors down to 0
so they miss out on any updates.

We have always had this issue but it only became critical in v3.0
when we added CFAR support (breaks POWER5) and v3.1 when we added
POWERNV (breaks everyone).

powerpc: Fix oops when echoing bad values to /sys/devices/system/memory/probe

2011-11-11T17:37:10+00:00

commit a11940978bd598e65996b4f807cf4904793f7025 upstream.

If we echo an address the hypervisor doesn't like to
/sys/devices/system/memory/probe we oops the box:

# echo 0x10000000000 > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe

kernel BUG at arch/powerpc/mm/hash_utils_64.c:541!

The backtrace is:

create_section_mapping
arch_add_memory
add_memory
memory_probe_store
sysdev_class_store
sysfs_write_file
vfs_write
SyS_write

In create_section_mapping we BUG if htab_bolt_mapping returned
an error. A better approach is to return an error which will
propagate back to userspace.

Rerunning the test with this patch applied:

# echo 0x10000000000 > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

Fix node_start/end_pfn() definition for mm/page_cgroup.c

2011-06-27T21:13:09+00:00

commit 21a3c96 uses node_start/end_pfn(nid) for detection start/end
of nodes. But, it's not defined in linux/mmzone.h but defined in
/arch/???/include/mmzone.h which is included only under
CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES=y.

Then, we see
  mm/page_cgroup.c: In function 'page_cgroup_init':
  mm/page_cgroup.c:308: error: implicit declaration of function 'node_start_pfn'
  mm/page_cgroup.c:309: error: implicit declaration of function 'node_end_pfn'

So, fixiing page_cgroup.c is an idea...

But node_start_pfn()/node_end_pfn() is a very generic macro and
should be implemented in the same manner for all archs.
(m32r has different implementation...)

This patch removes definitions of node_start/end_pfn() in each archs
and defines a unified one in linux/mmzone.h. It's not under
CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES, now.

A result of macro expansion is here (mm/page_cgroup.c)

for !NUMA
 start_pfn = ((&contig_page_data)->node_start_pfn);
  end_pfn = ({ pg_data_t *__pgdat = (&contig_page_data); __pgdat->node_start_pfn + __pgdat->node_spanned_pages;});

for NUMA (x86-64)
  start_pfn = ((node_data[nid])->node_start_pfn);
  end_pfn = ({ pg_data_t *__pgdat = (node_data[nid]); __pgdat->node_start_pfn + __pgdat->node_spanned_pages;});

Changelog:
 - fixed to avoid using "nid" twice in node_end_pfn() macro.

Merge branch 'setns'

* setns:
  ns: Wire up the setns system call

Done as a merge to make it easier to fix up conflicts in arm due to
addition of sendmmsg system call

ns: Wire up the setns system call

2011-05-28T17:48:39+00:00

32bit and 64bit on x86 are tested and working.  The rest I have looked
at closely and I can't find any problems.

setns is an easy system call to wire up.  It just takes two ints so I
don't expect any weird architecture porting problems.

While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are
very slow to get new system calls.  cris seems to be the slowest where
the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev.  avr32 is weird
in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h.  frv is
behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up.  On h8300
the last system call wired up was epoll_wait.  On m32r the last system
call wired up was fallocate.  mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system
call wired up.  The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was
new in the 2.6.39.

v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano 
v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W. Biederman 
v4: Moved wiring up of the system call to another patch
v5: ported to v2.6.39-rc6
v6: rebased onto parisc-next and net-next to avoid syscall  conflicts.
v7: ported to Linus's latest post 2.6.39 tree.

powerpc/cell: Use common smp ipi actions

2011-05-26T03:38:58+00:00

The cell iic interrupt controller has enough software caused interrupts
to use a unique interrupt for each of the 4 messages powerpc uses.
This means each interrupt gets its own irq action/data combination.

Use the seperate, optimized, arch common ipi action functions
registered via the helper smp_request_message_ipi instead passing the
message as action data to a single action that then demultipexes to
the required acton via a switch statement.

smp_request_message_ipi will register the action as IRQF_PER_CPU
and IRQF_DISABLED, and WARN if the allocation fails for some reason,
so no need to print on that failure.  It will return positive if
the message will not be used by the kernel, in which case we can
free the virq.

In addition to elimiating inefficient code, this also corrects the
error that a kernel built with kexec but without a debugger would
not register the ipi for kdump to notify the other cpus of a crash.

This also restores the debugger action to be static to kernel/smp.c.
