[POWERPC] Fix RTAS os-term usage on kernel panic
The rtas_os_term() routine was being called at the wrong time.
The actual rtas call "os-term" will not ever return, and so
calling it from the panic notifier is too early. Instead,
call it from the machine_reset() call.
This splits the rtas_os_term() routine into two: one part to capture
the kernel panic message, invoked during the panic notifier, and
another part that is invoked during machine_reset().
Prior to this patch, the os-term call was never being made,
because panic_timeout was always non-zero. Calling os-term
helps keep the hypervisor happy! We have to keep the hypervisor

[POWERPC] Fix multiple bugs in rtas_ibm_suspend_me code
There are several issues with the rtas_ibm_suspend_me code, which
enables platform-assisted suspension of an LPAR as covered in PAPR
2.2.
1.) rtas_ibm_suspend_me uses on_each_cpu() to invoke
rtas_percpu_suspend_me on all cpus via IPI:
if (on_each_cpu(rtas_percpu_suspend_me, &data, 1, 0))
...
'data' is on the calling task's stack, but rtas_ibm_suspend_me takes
no measures to ensure that all instances of rtas_percpu_suspend_me are
finished accessing 'data' before returning. This can result in the
IPI'd cpus accessing random stack data and getting stuck in H_JOIN.
This is addressed by using an atomic count of workers and a completion
on the stack.
2.) rtas_percpu_suspend_me is needlessly calling H_JOIN in a loop.
The only event that can cause a cpu to return from H_JOIN is an H_PROD
from another cpu or a NMI/system reset. Each cpu need call H_JOIN
only once per suspend operation.
Remove the loop and the now unnecessary 'waiting' state variable.
3.) H_JOIN must be called with MSR[EE] off, but lazy interrupt
disabling may cause the caller of rtas_ibm_suspend_me to call H_JOIN
with it on; the local_irq_disable() in on_each_cpu() is not
sufficient.
Fix this by explicitly saving the MSR and clearing the EE bit before
calling H_JOIN.
4.) H_PROD is being called with the Linux logical cpu number as the
parameter, not the platform interrupt server value. (It's also being
called for all possible cpus, which is harmless, but unnecessary.)
This is fixed by calling H_PROD for each online cpu using
get_hard_smp_processor_id(cpu) for the argument.

Additional discussion:
Note that original patch from Truxton DOES
disable keyboard and this has been in main tree since 2.6.14, thus it must have
quite a bit of air time already.
Note that he only mention "System flag" in the description and comment, but
in the code, "disable keyboard" flag is set.

In 2.6.23, he made a change to read the current byte and then mask the flags,
but along this change, he only set the "System flag" and dropped the setting
of "disable keyboard" flag.

Fix a typo in ntp.c that has caused updating of the persistent (RTC)

When debugging a freeze that arises on my AMD64 machines when I
run the ntpd service, I added a number of printk's to monitor the
sync_cmos_clock procedure. I discovered that it was not syncing to
cmos RTC every 11 minutes as documented, but instead would keep trying
every second for hours at a time. The reason turned out to be a typo
in sync_cmos_clock, where it attempts to ensure that
update_persistent_clock is called very close to 500 msec. after a 1
second boundary (required by the PC RTC's spec). That typo referred to
"xtime" in one spot, rather than "now", which is derived from "xtime"
but not equal to it. This makes the test erratic, creating a
"coin-flip" that decides when update_persistent_clock is called - when
it is called, which is rarely, it may be at any time during the one
second period, rather than close to 500 msec, so the value written is
needlessly incorrect, too.

It can happen that cpuinfo is displayed for CPUs that are not online or
even worse for CPUs not present at all. As an example, following was
shown for a "second" CPU of a single core K8 variant:
In cases where not all CPUs are brought up during
boot (e.g. using maxcpus and additional_cpus parameters)
mce_cpu_callback now returns NOTFIY_BAD because
for such CPUs cpu_data is not completely filled when
the notifier is called. Thus mce_create_device fails right
at its beginning:
if (!mce_available(&cpu_data[cpu]))
return -EIO;
As a quick fix I suggest to check boot_cpu_data for MCE.

That makes no sense any more, since now the dirty counts include the

machines anyway, and causes the unmapped_ratio to potentially turn
negative (which we do catch thanks to clamping it at a minimum value,

The code also was written at a time when the default dirty ratio was

[MIPS] irq_cpu: use handle_percpu_irq handler to avoid dropping interrupts.
This matters to any sort of device that is wired to one of the CPU
interrupt pins on an SMP system. Typically the scenario is most easily
triggered with the count/compare timer interrupt where the same interrupt
number and thus irq_desc is used on each processor.
CPU A CPU B
do_IRQ()
generic_handle_irq()
handle_level_irq()
spin_lock(desc_lock)
set IRQ_INPROGRESS
spin_unlock(desc_lock)

IRQ_INPROGRESS set => bail out
spin_lock(desc_lock)

In case of the cp0 compare interrupt this means the interrupt will be
acked and not handled or re-armed on CPU b, so there won't be any timer
interrupt until the count register wraps around.
With kernels 2.6.20 ... 2.6.23 we usually were lucky that things were just
working right on VSMP because the count registers are synchronized on
bootup so it takes something that disables interrupts for a long time on
one processor to trigger this one.
For scenarios where an interrupt is multicasted or broadcasted over several
CPUs the existing code was safe and the fix will break it. There is no
way to know in the interrupt controller code because it is abstracted from
the platform code. I think we do not have such a setup currently, so this
should be ok.

[MIPS] Fix shadow register support.
Shadow register support would not possibly have worked on multicore
systems. The support code for it was also depending not on MIPS R2 but
VSMP or SMTC kernels even though it makes perfect sense with UP kernels.
SR sets are a scarce resource and the expected usage pattern is that
users actually hardcode the register set numbers in their code. So fix
the allocator by ditching it. Move the remaining CPU probe bits into
the generic CPU probe.

sched: fix __set_task_cpu() SMP race
Grant Wilson has reported rare SCHED_FAIR_USER crashes on his quad-core
system, which crashes can only be explained via runqueue corruption.
there is a narrow SMP race in __set_task_cpu(): after ->cpu is set up to
a new value, task_rq_lock(p, ...) can be successfuly executed on another
CPU. We must ensure that updates of per-task data have been completed by
this moment.
this bug has been hiding in the Linux scheduler for an eternity (we never
had any explicit barrier for task->cpu in set_task_cpu() - so the bug was
introduced in 2.5.1), but only became visible via set_task_cfs_rq() being
accidentally put after the task->cpu update. It also probably needs a
sufficiently out-of-order CPU to trigger.

sched: fix SCHED_FIFO tasks & FAIR_GROUP_SCHED
Suppose that the SCHED_FIFO task does
switch_uid(new_user);
Now, p->se.cfs_rq and p->se.parent both point into the old
user_struct->tg because sched_move_task() doesn't call set_task_cfs_rq()
for !fair_sched_class case.
Suppose that old user_struct/task_group is freed/reused, and the task
does
sched_setscheduler(SCHED_NORMAL);
__setscheduler() sets fair_sched_class, but doesn't update
->se.cfs_rq/parent which point to the freed memory.
This means that check_preempt_wakeup() doing
while (!is_same_group(se, pse)) {
se = parent_entity(se);
pse = parent_entity(pse);
}
may OOPS in a similar way if rq->curr or p did something like above.
Perhaps we need something like the patch below, note that
__setscheduler() can't do set_task_cfs_rq().
sched: fix accounting of interrupts during guest execution on s390
Currently the scheduler checks for PF_VCPU to decide if this timeslice
has to be accounted as guest time. On s390 host interrupts are not
disabled during guest execution. This causes theses interrupts to be
accounted as guest time if CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is set. Solution
is to check if an interrupt triggered account_system_time. As the tick
is timer interrupt based, we have to subtract hardirq_offset.
I tested the patch on s390 with CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING and on
x86_64. Seems to work.

i2c/eeprom: Hide Sony Vaio serial numbers
The sysfs interface to DMI data takes care to not make the system
serial number and UUID world-readable, presumably due to privacy
concerns. For consistency, we should not let the eeprom driver
export these same strings to the world on Sony Vaio laptops.
Instead, only make them readable by root, as we already do for BIOS
passwords.
Let i2c-dev deal properly with new-style i2c clients. Instead of
considering them always busy, it needs to check wether a driver is
bound to them or not.
This is still not completely correct, as the client could become
busy later, but the same problem already existed before new-style
clients were introduced. We'll want to fix it someday.

i2c-dev: "how does it work" comments
This adds some "how does this work" comments to the i2c-dev driver,
plus separators between the three main components:
- The parallel list of i2c_adapters ("i2c_dev_list"), each of which
gets a "struct i2c_dev" and a /dev/i2c-X character special file.
- An i2cdev_driver gets adapter add/remove notifications, which are
used to maintain that list of adapters.
- Special file operations, which let userspace talk either directly to
the adapter (for i2c_msg operations) or through cached addressing info
using an anonymous i2c_client (never registered anywhere).
Plus there's the usual module load/unload record keeping.
After making sense of this code, I think that the anonymous i2c_client
is pretty shady. But since it's never registered, using this code with
a system set up for "new style" I2C drivers is no more complicated than
always using the I2C_SLAVE_FORCE ioctl (instead of I2C_SLAVE).
