[SPARC64]: Fix boot failures on SunBlade-150
The sequence to move over to the Linux trap tables from
the firmware ones needs to be more air tight. It turns
out that to be %100 safe we do need to be able to translate
OBP mappings in our TLB miss handlers early.
In order not to eat up a lot of kernel image memory with
static page tables, just use the translations array in
the OBP TLB miss handlers. That solves the bulk of the
problem.
Furthermore, to make sure the OBP TLB miss path will work
even before the fixed MMU globals are loaded, explicitly
load %g1 to TLB_SFSR at the beginning of the i-TLB and
d-TLB miss handlers.
To ease the OBP TLB miss walking of the prom_trans[] array,
we sort it then delete all of the non-OBP entries in there
(for example, there are entries for the kernel image itself
which we're not interested in at all).
We also save about 32K of kernel image size with this change.
Not a bad side effect :-)
There are still some reasons why trampoline.S can't use the
setup_trap_table() yet. The most noteworthy are:
1) OBP boots secondary processors with non-bias'd stack for
some reason. This is easily fixed by using a small bootup
stack in the kernel image explicitly for this purpose.
2) Doing a firmware call via the normal C call prom_set_trap_table()
goes through the whole OBP enter/exit sequence that saves and
restores OBP and Linux kernel state in the MMUs. This path
unfortunately does a "flush %g6" while loading up the OBP locked
TLB entries for the firmware call.
If we setup the %g6 in the trampoline.S code properly, that
is in the PAGE_OFFSET linear mapping, but we're not on the
kernel trap table yet so those addresses won't translate properly.
One idea is to do a by-hand firmware call like we do in the
early bootup code and elsewhere here in trampoline.S But this
fails as well, as aparently the secondary processors are not
booted with OBP's special locked TLB entries loaded. These
are necessary for the firwmare to processes TLB misses correctly
up until the point where we take over the trap table.
This does need to be resolved at some point.

[PATCH] ppc32: Tell userland about lack of standard TB

However, some (rare & old) CPUs do not have such timebase and it is a
bit annoying to have your stuff just crash because you are running on
the wrong CPU...
This exposes to userland a CPU feature bit that tells that the current
processor doesn't have a standard timebase. It's negative logic so that
glibc will still "just work" on older kernels (it will just be unhappy
on those old CPUs but that doesn't really matter as distro tend to

[PATCH] dell_rbu: changes in packet update mechanism
In the current dell_rbu code ver 2.0 the packet update mechanism makes the
user app dump every individual packet in to the driver.
This adds in efficiency as every packet update makes the
/sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading and data files to disappear and reappear
again. Thus the user app needs to wait for the files to reappear to dump
another packet. This slows down the packet update tremendously in case of
large number of packets. I am submitting a new patch for dell_rbu which will
change the way we do packet updates;
In the new method the user app will create a new single file which has already
packetized the rbu image and all the packets are now staged in this file.
This driver also creates a new entry in
/sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/packet_size ; the user needs to echo the packet
size here before downloading the packet file.
The user should do the following:
create one single file which has all the packets stacked together.
echo the packet size in to /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/packet_size.
echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading
cat the packetfile > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/data
echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading
The driver takes the file which came through /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/data
and takes chunks of paket_size data from it and place in contiguous memory.
This makes packet update process very efficient and fast. As all the packet
update happens in one single operation. The user can still read back the
downloaded file from /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/data.

In fact, there are three separate issues:
1) the pointer to "current" can become invalid, since the task could be
completely gone when the URB completion comes back from the device.
2) Even if the saved task pointer is still pointing to a valid task_struct,
task_struct->sighand could have gone meanwhile.
3) Even if the process is perfectly fine, permissions may have changed,

[PATCH] i386: fix stack alignment for signal handlers
This fixes the setup of the alignment of the signal frame, so that all
signal handlers are run with a properly aligned stack frame.
The current code "over-aligns" the stack pointer so that the stack frame
is effectively always mis-aligned by 4 bytes. But what we really want
is that on function entry ((sp + 4) & 15) == 0, which matches what would
happen if the stack were aligned before a "call" instruction.

The logic in ide_do_request() doesn't guarantee that both drives will be
serviced after a call. It may "forget" to service one in some
circumstances, including when one of the drive is suspended (it will
eventually fail to service the slave when the master is suspended for
example). This prevents the wakeup requests that gets queued on wakeup
from sleep from beeing serviced in some cases when 2 drives are sharing
an IDE bus.
The problem is deep enough in the way this code works (and there are
probably a few other problematic but rare corner cases) and fixing it
would require some major rethinking of the way IDE decides which channel
to service. This is not 2.6.14 material. However, in the meantime,
Bart has accepted this simple workaround that will fix the crash on
wakeup from sleep since this specific corner case is actually hitting
users to get into 2.6.14.

[PATCH] uml: fix x86_64 with !CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER
UML/x86_64 doesn't run when built with frame pointers disabled. There
was an implicit frame pointer assumption in the stub segfault handler.
With frame pointers disabled, UML dies on handling its first page fault.
The container-of part of this is from Paolo Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it>.

[PATCH] x86_64: Set up safe page tables during resume
The following patch makes swsusp avoid the possible temporary corruption
of page translation tables during resume on x86-64. This is achieved by
creating a copy of the relevant page tables that will not be modified by
swsusp and can be safely used by it on resume.
The problem is that during resume on x86-64 swsusp may temporarily
corrupt the page tables used for the direct mapping of RAM. If that
happens, a page fault occurs and cannot be handled properly, which leads
to the solid hang of the affected system. This leads to the loss of the
system's state from before suspend and may result in the loss of data or
the corruption of filesystems, so it is a serious issue. Also, it
appears to happen quite often (for me, as often as 50% of the time).
The problem is related to the fact that (at least) one of the PMD
entries used in the direct memory mapping (starting at PAGE_OFFSET)
points to a page table the physical address of which is much greater
than the physical address of the PMD entry itself. Moreover,
unfortunately, the physical address of the page table before suspend
(i.e. the one stored in the suspend image) happens to be different to
the physical address of the corresponding page table used during resume
(i.e. the one that is valid right before swsusp_arch_resume() in
arch/x86_64/kernel/suspend_asm.S is executed). Thus while the image is
restored, the "offending" PMD entry gets overwritten, so it does not
point to the right physical address any more (i.e. there's no page
table at the address pointed to by it, because it points to the address
the page table has been at during suspend). Consequently, if the PMD
entry is used later on, and it _is_ used in the process of copying the
image pages, a page fault occurs, but it cannot be handled in the normal
way and the system hangs.
In principle we can call create_resume_mapping() from
swsusp_arch_resume() (ie. from suspend_asm.S), but then the memory
allocations in create_resume_mapping(), resume_pud_mapping(), and
resume_pmd_mapping() must be made carefully so that we use _only_
NosaveFree pages in them (the other pages are overwritten by the loop in
swsusp_arch_resume()). Additionally, we are in atomic context at that
time, so we cannot use GFP_KERNEL. Moreover, if one of the allocations
fails, we should free all of the allocated pages, so we need to trace
them somehow.
All of this is done in the appended patch, except that the functions
populating the page tables are located in arch/x86_64/kernel/suspend.c
rather than in init.c. It may be done in a more elegan way in the
future, with the help of some swsusp patches that are in the works now.

It broke because:
a) because this part doesn't fall under the description
b) the author didn't know what he was doing here
c) the author didn't try to compile the existing code and see that it worked
perfectly.
d) the author didn't ask us what was happening
e) you didn't either, and somebody there should have learned that UML is a bit
different.
In fact, UML is special in linking to host libc and using its includes.
In particular, since host includes always define both __BIG_ENDIAN and
__LITTLE_ENDIAN, ntohll() macros started thinking to be in a big-endian world;
and on-disk compatibility was broken.
Many thanks go to Nix for reporting the problem and correctly diagnosing an
endianness problem.
Btw, this patch restores the previous code, which worked; but the definitions
would be uncorrect if used in kernelspace files.
Next patch addresses that.
