Occasionally the kernel has bugs that result in no irq being found for a given cpu vector. If we acknowledge the irq the system has a good chance of continuing even though we dropped an irq message. If we continue to simply print a message and not acknowledge the irq the system is likely to become non-responsive shortly there after. AK: Fixed compilation for UP kernels Signed-off-by: Eric W.

[SPARC64]: Fix PCI interrupts on E450 et al. When the PCI controller OBP node lacks an interrupt-map and interrupt-map-mask property, we need to form the INO by hand. The PCI swizzle logic was not doing that properly. This was a regression added by the of_device code. Signed-off-by: David S.

To the issue: some point during 2.6.20 development, Paul Mackerras introduced the "lazy IRQ disabling" patch (very cool work, BTW). In that patch, the performance monitor unit exception was marked as "maskable", in the sense that if interrupts were soft-disabled, that exception could be ignored. This broke my PowerPC profiling code. The symptom that I see is that a varying number of interrupts (from 0 to $n$, typically closer to 0) get delivered, when, in reality, it should always be very close to $n$. The issue stems from the way masking is being done. Masking in this fashion seems to work well with the decrementer and external interrupts, because they are raised again until "really" handled. For the PMU, however, this does not apply (at least on my Xserver machine with a 970FX processor). If the PMU exception is not handled, it will _not_ be re-raised (at least on my machine). The documentation states that the PMXE bit in MMCR0 is set to 0 when the PMU exception is raised. However, software must re-set the bit to re-enable PMU exceptions. If the exception is ignored (as currently) not only is that interrupt lost, but because software does not re-set PMXE, the PMU registers are "frozen" forever. [This patch means that performance monitor exceptions are taken and handled even if irqs are off, as long as some other interrupt hasn't come along and caused interrupts to be hard-disabled. In this sense the PMU exception becomes like an NMI. The oprofile code for most powerpc processors does nothing that is unsafe in an NMI context, but the Cell oprofile code does a spin_lock_irqsave. However, that turns out to be OK because Cell doesn't actually use the performance monitor exception; performance monitor interrupts come in as a regular interrupt on Cell, so will be disabled when irqs are off. -- paulus.] From: Livio Soares <livio@eecg.toronto.edu> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
A previous cleanup misused need_poll, which had a fairly broken interface. It implemented a growable array, changing the used elements count itself, but leaving it up to the caller to fill in the actual elements, including the entire array if the array had to be reallocated. This worked because the previous users were switching between two such structures, and the elements were copied from the inactive array to the active array after making sure the active array had enough room. maybe_sigio_broken was made to use need_poll, but it was operating on a single array, so when the buffer was reallocated, the previous contents were lost. This patch makes need_poll implement more sane semantics. It merely assures that the array is of the proper size and that the contents are preserved. It is up to the caller to adjust the used elements count and to ensure that the proper elements are resent. This manifested itself as a hang in 2.6.20 as the uninitialized buffer convinced UML that one of its own file descriptors didn't support SIGIO and needed to be watched by poll in a separate thread. The result was an interrupt flood as control traffic over this descriptor sparked interrupts, which resulted in more control traffic, ad nauseum.

After updating several machines to 2.6.20, I can't boot anymore the single one of them that supports the NX bit and is configured as a 32-bit system. My understanding is that the VDSO changes in 2.6.20-rc7 were not fully cooked, in that with that config option enabled VDSO_SYM(x) now equals x, meaning that an address in the fixmap area is now being passed to apps via AT_SYSINFO. However, the page is mapped with PAGE_READONLY rather than PAGE_READONLY_EXEC. I'm not certain whether having app code go through the fixmap area is intended, but in case it is here is the simple patch that makes things work again.
