16 years agoCorrect hash flushing from huge_ptep_set_wrprotect()
David Gibson [Tue, 8 Jul 2008 05:58:16 +0000 (15:58 +1000)]
Correct hash flushing from huge_ptep_set_wrprotect()

As Andy Whitcroft recently pointed out, the current powerpc version of
huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() has a bug.  It just calls ptep_set_wrprotect()
which in turn calls pte_update() then hpte_need_flush() with the 'huge'
argument set to 0.  This will cause hpte_need_flush() to flush the wrong
hash entries (of any).  Andy's fix for this is already in the powerpc
tree as commit 016b33c4958681c24056abed8ec95844a0da80a3.

I have confirmed this is a real bug, not masked by some other
synchronization, with a new testcase for libhugetlbfs.  A process write
a (MAP_PRIVATE) hugepage mapping, fork(), then alter the mapping and
have the child incorrectly see the second write.

Therefore, this should be fixed for 2.6.26, and for the stable tree.
Here is a suitable patch for 2.6.26, which I think will also be suitable
for the stable tree (neither of the headers in question has been changed
much recently).

It is cut down slighlty from Andy's original version, in that it does
not include a 32-bit version of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect().  Currently,
hugepages are not supported on any 32-bit powerpc platform.  When they
are, a suitable 32-bit version can be added - the only 32-bit hardware
which supports hugepages does not use the conventional hashtable MMU and
so will have different needs anyway.

powerpc: Fix unterminated of_device_id array in legacy_serial.c

A recent patch to legacy_serial.c factored out some code by
using the of_match_node() facility to match a node against
an array of possible matches. However, the patch didn't properly
terminate the array causing potential crashes in cases where no
match is found. In addition, the name of the array was poorly
chosen for a static symbol making debugging harder.

vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer formats

They print out a pointer in symbolic format, if possible (ie using
symbolic KALLSYMS information).  The '%pS' format is for regular direct
pointers (which can point to data or code and that you find on the stack
during backtraces etc), while '%pF' is for C function pointer types.

On most architectures, the two mean exactly the same thing, but some
architectures use an indirect pointer for C function pointers, where the
function pointer points to a function descriptor (which in turn contains
the actual pointer to the code).  The '%pF' code automatically does the
appropriate function descriptor dereference on such architectures.

specific pointer type extensions.

NOTE! The reason the extension is appended to the '%p' is to allow
minimal gcc type checking: gcc will still see the '%p' and will check
that the argument passed in is indeed a pointer, and yet will not
complain about the extended information that gcc doesn't understand
about (on the other hand, it also won't actually check that the pointer
type and the extension are compatible).

Alphanumeric characters were chosen because there is no sane existing

KVM: IOAPIC: Fix level-triggered irq injection hang

The "remote_irr" variable is used to indicate an interrupt
which has been received by the LAPIC, but not acked.

In our EOI handler, we unset remote_irr and re-inject the
interrupt if the interrupt line is still asserted.

However, we do not set remote_irr here, leading to a
situation where if kvm_ioapic_set_irq() is called, then we go
ahead and call ioapic_service(). This means that IRR is
re-asserted even though the interrupt is currently in service
(i.e. LAPIC IRR is cleared and ISR/TMR set)

The issue with this is that when the currently executing
interrupt handler finishes and writes LAPIC EOI, then TMR is
unset and EOI sent to the IOAPIC. Since IRR is now asserted,
but TMR is not, then when the second interrupt is handled,
no EOI is sent and if there is any pending interrupt, it is
not re-injected.

This fixes a hang only seen while running mke2fs -j on an
8Gb virtio disk backed by a fully sparse raw file, with
aliguori "avoid fragmented virtio-blk transfers by copying"

olpc: sdhci: add quirk for the Marvell CaFe's interrupt timeout

The CaFe chip has a hardware bug that ends up with us getting a timeout
value that's too small, causing the following sorts of problems:

[   60.525138] mmcblk0: error -110 transferring data

[   60.533371] lost page write due to I/O error on mmcblk0p2

Presumably this is an off-by-one error in the hardware.  Incrementing
the timeout count value that we stuff into the TIMEOUT_CONTROL register
gets us a value that works.  This bug was originally discovered by

cciss: read config to obtain max outstanding commands per controller

This patch changes the way we determine the maximum number of outstanding
commands for each controller.

Most Smart Array controllers can support up to 1024 commands, the notable
exceptions are the E200 and E200i.

The next generation of controllers which were just added support a mode of
operation called Zero Memory Raid (ZMR).  In this mode they only support
64 outstanding commands.  In Full Function Raid (FFR) mode they support
1024.

We have been setting the queue depth by arbitrarily assigning some value
for each controller.  We needed a better way to set the queue depth to
avoid lots of annoying "fifo full" messages.  So we made the driver a
little smarter.  We now read the config table and subtract 4 from the
returned value.  The -4 is to allow some room for ioctl calls which are
not tracked the same way as io commands are tracked.

Please consider this for inclusion.

Alpha Linux kernel fails with inconsistent kallsyms data

The build of the Alpha Linux kernel currently fails[1] with inconsistent
kallsyms data.  As I never saw that before, I thought about hardware
problems.  But in fact it is a bug in the Linux kernel.

The end of the rodata section is marked with the "__end_rodata" symbol.
This symbol have different aligning constraints than the inittext parts
and therefor the start marked "_sinittext".  Because of that the
__end_rodata symbol shifts between < _sinittext and == _sinittext.  The
later variant is seen as a code symbol and recorded in the kallsyms data.

On fix would be to move the exception table a little bit and get some
space between that two areas.

appropriate. There are still a lot of sparse warnings, mainly wrt absence
of __iomem annotations, but some will require ugly __force stuff. I'll leave
them for now, since proper fix would be not that trivial as few one-liners

lib: taint kernel in common report_bug() WARN path.

Commit 95b570c9cef3b12356454c7112571b7e406b4b51 ("Taint kernel after
WARN_ON(condition)") introduced a TAINT_WARN that was implemented for
all architectures using the generic warn_on_slowpath(), which excluded
any architecture that set HAVE_ARCH_WARN_ON.

As all of the architectures that implement their own WARN_ON() all go
through the report_bug() path (specifically handling BUG_TRAP_TYPE_WARN),
taint the kernel there as well for consistency.

Tested on avr32 and sh. Also relevant for s390, parisc, and powerpc.
