x86, amd, xen: Avoid NULL pointer paravirt references

2012-06-10T13:41:48+00:00

commit 1ab46fd319bcf1fcd9fb6311727d532b580e4eba upstream.

Stub out MSR methods that aren't actually needed.  This fixes a crash
as Xen Dom0 on AMD Trinity systems.  A bigger patch should be added to
remove the paravirt machinery completely for the methods which
apparently have no users!

fix TLB fault path on PA2.0 narrow systems

2012-06-10T13:41:40+00:00

commit 2f649c1f6f0fef445ce79a19b79e5ce8fe9d7f19 upstream.

commit 5e185581d7c46ddd33cd9c01106d1fc86efb9376
Author: James Bottomley 

    [PARISC] fix PA1.1 oops on boot

Didn't quite fix the crash on boot.  It moved it from PA1.1 processors to
PA2.0 narrow kernels.  The final fix is to make sure the [id]tlb_miss_20 paths
also work.  Even on narrow systems, these paths require using the wide
instructions becuase the tlb insertion format is wide.  Fix this by
conditioning the dep[wd],z on whether we're being called from _11 or _20[w]
paths.

fix boot failure on 32-bit systems caused by branch stubs placed before .text

2012-06-10T13:41:40+00:00

commit ed5fb2471b7060767957fb964eb1aaec71533ab1 upstream.

In certain configurations, the resulting kernel becomes too large to boot
because the linker places the long branch stubs for the merged .text section
at the very start of the image.  As a result, the initial transfer of control
jumps to an unexpected location.  Fix this by placing the head text in a
separate section so the stubs for .text are not at the start of the image.

microblaze: Do not select GENERIC_GPIO by default

2012-06-10T13:41:39+00:00

commit 59516b07b4ffa7e607a5787674ea3c405f1b390c upstream.

The microblaze architecture does not provide a native GPIO API implementation
nor requires GPIOLIB, but still selects GENERIC_GPIO by default. As a result the
following build error occurs, if GPIOLIB is not selected:

	include/asm-generic/gpio.h: In function 'gpio_get_value_cansleep':
	include/asm-generic/gpio.h:218: error: implicit declaration of function '__gpio_get_value'
	include/asm-generic/gpio.h: In function 'gpio_set_value_cansleep':
	include/asm-generic/gpio.h:224: error: implicit declaration of function '__gpio_set_value'

This patch addresses the issue by not selecting GENERIC_GPIO by default. This
causes the GPIO API to be stubbed out if no implementation is provided.

ixp4xx: fix compilation by adding gpiolib support

2012-06-10T13:41:34+00:00

commit 9dde0ae3769875ec1370cb316e50c54b57d52c1a upstream.

Once again, ixp4xx no longer even compiles. This patch fixes the issue
by converting over to gpiolib. This patch was first made by Imre and
posted by Marc, and I added in Russell's suggestion to empty the gpio
header file.

This fix should also go for 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4.

MIPS: BCM63XX: Add missing include for bcm63xx_gpio.h

2012-06-10T13:41:32+00:00

commit 442209f31dafef9fde852858e1ce566b675b720d upstream.

bcm63xx_gpio.h uses macros defined in bcm63xx_cpu.h without including it,
leading to the following build failure:

x86, relocs: Add jiffies and jiffies_64 to the relative whitelist

2012-05-30T23:44:10+00:00

commit ea17e7414bc62e8d3bde8d08e3df1d921c518c17 upstream.

The symbol jiffies is created in the linker script as an alias to
jiffies_64.  Unfortunately this is done outside any section, and
apparently GNU ld 2.21 doesn't carry the section with it, so we end up
with an absolute symbol and therefore a broken kernel.

Add jiffies and jiffies_64 to the whitelist.

The most disturbing bit with this discovery is that it shows that we
have had multiple linker bugs in this area crossing multiple
generations, and have been silently building bad kernels for some time.

x86-32, relocs: Whitelist more symbols for ld bug workaround

2012-05-30T23:44:09+00:00

commit fd952815307f0f272bf49fd364a7fd2f9992bc42 upstream.

As noted in checkin:

a3e854d95 x86, relocs: Workaround for binutils 2.22.52.0.1 section bug

ld version 2.22.52.0.[12] can incorrectly promote relative symbols to
absolute, if the output section they appear in is otherwise empty.

Since checkin:

6520fe55 x86, realmode: 16-bit real-mode code support for relocs tool

we actually check for this and error out rather than silently creating
a kernel which will malfunction if relocated.

Ingo found a configuration in which __start_builtin_fw triggered the
warning.

Go through the linker script sources and look for more symbols that
could plausibly get bogusly promoted to absolute, and add them to the
whitelist.

In general, if the following error triggers:

	Invalid absolute R_386_32 relocation: 

... then we should verify that  is really meant to be
relocated, and add it and any related symbols manually to the S_REL
regexp.

Please note that 6520fe55 does not introduce the error, only the check
for the error -- without 6520fe55 this version of ld will simply
produce a corrupt kernel if CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set on x86-32.

x86, relocs: When printing an error, say relative or absolute

2012-05-30T23:44:08+00:00

commit 24ab82bd9bf18f3efc69a131d73577940941e1b7 upstream.

When the relocs tool throws an error, let the error message say if it
is an absolute or relative symbol.  This should make it a lot more
clear what action the programmer needs to take and should help us find
the reason if additional symbol bugs show up.
