commit e8129c642155616d9e2160a75f103e127c8c3708 upstream.

On each machine check all registers are revalidated. The save area for
the clock comparator however only contains the upper most seven bytes
of the former contents, if valid.
Therefore the machine check handler uses a store clock instruction to
get the current time and writes that to the clock comparator register
which in turn will generate an immediate timer interrupt.
However within the lowcore the expected time of the next timer
interrupt is stored. If the interrupt happens before that time the
handler won't be called. In turn the clock comparator won't be
reprogrammed and therefore the interrupt condition stays pending which
causes an interrupt loop until the expected time is reached.

On NOHZ machines this can result in unresponsive machines since the
time of the next expected interrupted can be a couple of days in the
future.

To fix this just revalidate the clock comparator register with the
expected value.
In addition the special handling for udelay must be changed as well.

<title>OMAP3: DMA: Errata i541: sDMA FIFO draining does not finish</title>

commit 0e4905c0199d683497833be60a428c784d7575b8 upstream.

Implement the suggested workaround for OMAP3 regarding to sDMA draining
issue, when the channel is disabled on the fly.
This errata affects the following configuration:
sDMA transfer is source synchronized
Buffering is enabled
SmartStandby is selected.

The issue can be easily reproduced by creating overrun situation while
recording audio.
Either introduce load to the CPU:
nice -19 arecord -D hw:0 -M -B 10000 -F 5000 -f dat &gt; /dev/null &amp; \
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/null

or suspending the arecord, and resuming it:
arecord -D hw:0 -M -B 10000 -F 5000 -f dat &gt; /dev/null
CTRL+Z; fg; CTRL+Z; fg; ...

In case of overrun audio stops DMA, and restarts it (without reseting
the sDMA channel). When we hit this errata in stop case (sDMA drain did
not complete), at the coming start the sDMA will not going to be
operational (it is still draining).
This leads to DMA stall condition.
On OMAP3 we can recover with sDMA channel reset, it has been observed
that by introducing unrelated sDMA activity might also help (reading
from MMC for example).

The same errata exists for OMAP2, where the suggestion is to disable the
buffering to avoid this type of error.
On OMAP3 the suggestion is to set sDMA to NoStandby before disabling
the channel, and wait for the drain to finish, than configure sDMA to
SmartStandby again.

<title>omap: dma: Fix buffering disable bit setting for omap24xx</title>

commit 3e57f1626b5febe5cc99aa6870377deef3ae03cc upstream.

An errata workaround for omap24xx is not setting the buffering disable bit
25 what is the purpose but channel enable bit 7 instead.

Background for this fix is the DMA stalling issue with ASoC omap-mcbsp
driver. Peter Ujfalusi &lt;peter.ujfalusi@nokia.com&gt; has found an issue in
recording that the DMA stall could happen if there were a buffer overrun
detected by ALSA and the DMA was stopped and restarted due that. This
problem is known to occur on both OMAP2420 and OMAP3. It can recover on
OMAP3 after dma free, dma request and reconfiguration cycle. However, on
OMAP2420 it seems that only way to recover is a reset.

Problem was not visible before the commit c12abc0. That commit changed that
the McBSP transmitter/receiver is released from reset only when needed. That
is, only enabled McBSP transmitter without transmission was able to prevent
this DMA stall problem in receiving side and underlying problem did not show
up until now. McBSP transmitter itself seems to no be reason since DMA
stall does not recover by enabling the transmission after stall.

Debugging showed that there were a DMA write active during DMA stop time and
it never completed even when restarting the DMA. Experimenting showed that
the DMA buffering disable bit could be used to avoid stalling when using
source synchronized transfers. However that could have performance hit and
OMAP3 TRM states that buffering disable is not allowed for destination
synchronized transfers so subsequent patch will implement a method to
complete DMA writes when stopping.

This patch is based on assumtion that complete lock-up on OMAP2420 is
different but related problem. I don't have access to OMAP2420 errata but
I believe this old workaround here is put for a reason but unfortunately
a wrong bit was typed and problem showed up only now.

<title>nohz/s390: fix arch_needs_cpu() return value on offline cpus</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 398812159e328478ae49b4bd01f0d71efea96c39 upstream.

This fixes the same problem as described in the patch "nohz: fix
printk_needs_cpu() return value on offline cpus" for the arch_needs_cpu()
primitive:

arch_needs_cpu() may return 1 if called on offline cpus. When a cpu gets
offlined it schedules the idle process which, before killing its own cpu,
will call tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick().
That function in turn will call arch_needs_cpu() in order to check if the
local tick can be disabled. On offline cpus this function should naturally
return 0 since regardless if the tick gets disabled or not the cpu will be
dead short after. That is besides the fact that __cpu_disable() should already
have made sure that no interrupts on the offlined cpu will be delivered anyway.

In this case it prevents tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() to call
select_nohz_load_balancer(). No idea if that really is a problem. However what
made me debug this is that on 2.6.32 the function get_nohz_load_balancer() is
used within __mod_timer() to select a cpu on which a timer gets enqueued.
If arch_needs_cpu() returns 1 then the nohz_load_balancer cpu doesn't get
updated when a cpu gets offlined. It may contain the cpu number of an offline
cpu. In turn timers get enqueued on an offline cpu and not very surprisingly
they never expire and cause system hangs.

This has been observed 2.6.32 kernels. On current kernels __mod_timer() uses
get_nohz_timer_target() which doesn't have that problem. However there might
be other problems because of the too early exit tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick()
in case a cpu goes offline.

This specific bug was indrocuded with 3c5d92a0 "nohz: Introduce
arch_needs_cpu".

In this case a cpu hotplug notifier is used to fix the issue in order to keep
the normal/fast path small. All we need to do is to clear the condition that
makes arch_needs_cpu() return 1 since it is just a performance improvement
which is supposed to keep the local tick running for a short period if a cpu
goes idle. Nothing special needs to be done except for clearing the condition.

commit 0e91ec0c06d2cd15071a6021c94840a50e6671aa upstream.

The find_next_bit, find_first_bit, find_next_zero_bit
and find_first_zero_bit functions were not properly
clamping to the maxbit argument at the bit level. They
were instead only checking maxbit at the byte level.
To fix this, add a compare and a conditional move
instruction to the end of the common bit-within-the-
byte code used by all the functions and be sure not to
clobber the maxbit argument before it is used.

<content type='text'>
commit 1142b71d85894dcff1466dd6c871ea3c89e0352c upstream.

Commit 8b592783 added a Thumb-2 variant of usracc which, when it is
called with \rept=2, calls usraccoff once with an offset of 0 and
secondly with a hard-coded offset of 4 in order to avoid incrementing
the pointer again. If \inc != 4 then we will store the data to the wrong
offset from \ptr. Luckily, the only caller that passes \rept=2 to this
function is __clear_user so we haven't been actively corrupting user data.

This patch fixes usracc to pass \inc instead of #4 to usraccoff

commit 1142b71d85894dcff1466dd6c871ea3c89e0352c upstream.

Commit 8b592783 added a Thumb-2 variant of usracc which, when it is
called with \rept=2, calls usraccoff once with an offset of 0 and
secondly with a hard-coded offset of 4 in order to avoid incrementing
the pointer again. If \inc != 4 then we will store the data to the wrong
offset from \ptr. Luckily, the only caller that passes \rept=2 to this
function is __clear_user so we haven't been actively corrupting user data.

This patch fixes usracc to pass \inc instead of #4 to usraccoff
when it is called a second time.

<title>ARM: 6464/2: fix spinlock recursion in adjust_pte()</title>

commit 4e54d93d3c9846ba1c2644ad06463dafa690d1b7 upstream.

When running following code in a machine which has VIVT caches and
USE_SPLIT_PTLOCKS is not defined:

  fd = open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY);
  addr = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
  addr2 = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);

  v = *((int *)addr);

we will hang in spinlock recursion in the page fault handler:

  BUG: spinlock recursion on CPU#0, mmap_test/717
  lock: c5e295d8, .magic: dead4ead, .owner: mmap_test/717,
                  .owner_cpu: 0
  [&lt;c0026604&gt;] (unwind_backtrace+0x0/0xec)
  [&lt;c014ee48&gt;] (do_raw_spin_lock+0x40/0x140)
  [&lt;c0027f68&gt;] (update_mmu_cache+0x208/0x250)
  [&lt;c0079db4&gt;] (__do_fault+0x320/0x3ec)

  [&lt;c00202d0&gt;] (do_DataAbort+0x34/0x94)

This comes from the fact that when USE_SPLIT_PTLOCKS is not defined,
the only lock protecting the page tables is mm-&gt;page_table_lock
which is already locked before update_mmu_cache() is called.

<title>x86: Ignore trap bits on single step exceptions</title>

commit 6c0aca288e726405b01dacb12cac556454d34b2a upstream.

When a single step exception fires, the trap bits, used to
signal hardware breakpoints, are in a random state.

These trap bits might be set if another exception will follow,
like a breakpoint in the next instruction, or a watchpoint in the
previous one. Or there can be any junk there.

So if we handle these trap bits during the single step exception,
we are going to handle an exception twice, or we are going to
handle junk.

Just ignore them in this case.

This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21332

commit 69e83dad5207f8f03c9699e57e1febb114383cb8 upstream.

Disable the winch irq early to make sure we don't take an interrupt part
way through the freeing of the handler data, resulting in a crash on
shutdown:

  winch_interrupt : read failed, errno = 9
  fd 13 is losing SIGWINCH support
