[TG3]: Endianness bugfix.

tg3_nvram_write_block_unbuffered() is reading data from nvram into
allocated buffer before overwriting a part of it with user-supplied
data.  Then it feeds the entire page back to nvram.  It should be
storing the words it had read as little-endian, not as host-endian.
Note that tg3_set_eeprom() does exactly that for padding the same
data to full words before it gets passed down to tg3_nvram_write_block()
and then to tg3_nvram_write_block_unbuffered().

Moreover, when we get to sending the entire thing back to nvram, we
go through it word-by-word, doing essentially
writel(swab32(le32_to_cpu(word)), ...)
so if we want them to reach the card in host-independent endianness,
we'd better really have all that buffer filled with fixed-endian.
For user-supplied part we obviously do have that (it's an array of
octets memcpy'd in), ditto for padding of user-supplied part to word
boundaries (taken care of in tg3_set_eeprom()).  The rest of the
buffer gets filled by tg3_nvram_write_block_unbuffered() and it would
damn better be consistent with that (and with tg3_get_eeprom(), while
we are at it - there we also convert the words read from nvram to
little-endian before returning the buffer to user).

The bug should get triggered on big-endian boxen when set_eeprom is done
for less than entire page.  Then the words that should've been unaffected
at all will actually get byteswapped in place in nvram.

de Dinechin, Christophe (Integrity VM) [Thu, 13 Dec 2007 15:03:07 +0000 (15:03 +0000)]
[IA64] Avoid unnecessary TLB flushes when allocating memory

Improve performance of memory allocations on ia64 by avoiding a global TLB
purge to purge a single page from the file cache. This happens whenever we
evict a page from the buffer cache to make room for some other allocation.

Test case: Run 'find /usr -type f | xargs cat > /dev/null' in the
background to fill the buffer cache, then run something that uses memory,
e.g. 'gmake -j50 install'. Instrumentation showed that the number of
global TLB purges went from a few millions down to about 170 over a 12
hours run of the above.

The performance impact is particularly noticeable under virtualization,

x86: fix "Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work!"

this is the tale of a full day spent debugging an ancient but elusive bug.

after booting up thousands of random .config kernels, i finally happened
to generate a .config that produced the following rare bootup failure
on 32-bit x86:

| ..TIMER: vector=0x31 apic1=0 pin1=2 apic2=-1 pin2=-1
| ..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
| ...trying to set up timer (IRQ0) through the 8259A ...  failed.
| ...trying to set up timer as Virtual Wire IRQ... failed.
| ...trying to set up timer as ExtINT IRQ... failed :(.
| Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work!  Boot with apic=debug
| and send a report.  Then try booting with the 'noapic' option

this bug has been reported many times during the years, but it was never
reproduced nor fixed.

the bug that i hit was extremely sensitive to .config details.

First i did a .config-bisection - suspecting some .config detail.
That led to CONFIG_X86_MCE: enabling X86_MCE magically made the bug disappear
and the system would boot up just fine.

Debugging my way through the MCE code ended up identifying two unlikely
candidates: the thing that made a real difference to the hang was that
X86_MCE did two printks:

 Intel machine check architecture supported.
 Intel machine check reporting enabled on CPU#1.

Adding the same printks to a !CONFIG_X86_MCE kernel made the bug go away!

this left timing as the main suspect: i experimented with adding various
udelay()s to the arch/x86/kernel/io_apic_32.c:check_timer() function, and
the race window turned out to be narrower than 30 microseconds (!).

That made debugging especially funny, debugging without having printk
ability before the bug hits is ... interesting ;-)

eventually i started suspecting IRQ activities - those are pretty much the
only thing that happen this early during bootup and have the timescale of
a few dozen microseconds. Also, check_timer() changes the IRQ hardware
in various creative ways, so the main candidate became IRQ0 interaction.

i've added a counter to track timer irqs (on which core they arrived, at
what exact time, etc.) and found that no timer IRQ would arrive after the
bug condition hits - even if we re-enable IRQ0 and re-initialize the i8259A,
but that we'd get a small number of timer irqs right around the time when we
call the check_timer() function.

Eventually i got the following backtrace triggered from debug code in the
timer interrupt:

...trying to set up timer as Virtual Wire IRQ... failed.
...trying to set up timer as ExtINT IRQ...

  [<c05f5784>] setup_IO_APIC+0x9c3/0xc5c

the spin_unlock() was called from init_8259A(). Wait ... we have an IRQ0
entry while we are in the middle of setting up the local APIC, the i8259A
and the PIT??

That is certainly not how it's supposed to work! check_timer() was supposed
to be called with irqs turned off - but this eroded away sometime in the
past. This code would still work most of the time because this code runs
very quickly, but just the right timing conditions are present and IRQ0
hits in this small, ~30 usecs window, timer irqs stop and the system does
not boot up. Also, given how early this is during bootup, the hang is
very deterministic - but it would only occur on certain machines (and
certain configs).

The fix was quite simple: disable/restore interrupts properly in this
function. With that in place the test-system now boots up just fine.

(64-bit x86 io_apic_64.c had the same bug.)

Phew! One down, only 1500 other kernel bugs are left ;-)

was implemented, and the simple irq handler had a masking set to it.

Remy Bohmer discovered that some devices in the ARM architecture
would trigger the mask, but never unmask it. His patch to do the
unmasking was questioned by Russell King about masking simple irqs
to begin with. Looking further, it was discovered that the problems
Remy was seeing was due to improper use of the simple handler by
devices, and he later submitted patches to fix those. But the issue
that was uncovered was that the simple handler should never mask.

 http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/7/299
 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9525

A previous version of the code did the reprogramming of the broadcast
device in the return from idle code. This was removed, but the logic in
tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast() was kept the same.

When a broadcast interrupt happens we signal the expiry to all CPUs
which have an expired event. If none of the CPUs has an expired event,
which can happen in dyntick mode, then we reprogram the broadcast
device. We do not reprogram otherwise, but this is only correct if all
CPUs, which are in the idle broadcast state have been woken up.

The code ignores, that there might be pending not yet expired events on
other CPUs, which are in the idle broadcast state. So the delivery of
those events can be delayed for quite a time.

Change the tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast() function to check for CPUs,
which are in broadcast state and are not woken up by the current event,
and enforce the rearming of the broadcast device for those CPUs.

un-inlined a low-level rwsem function, but did not mark it as __sched.
The result is that it now shows up as thread wchan (which also affects
/proc/profile stats).  The following simple patch fixes this by properly
marking rwsem_down_failed_common() as a __sched function.

Also in this patch, which is up for discussion, marks down_read() and
down_write() proper as __sched.  For profiling, it is pretty much
useless to know that a semaphore is beig help - it is necessary to know
_which_ one.  By going up another frame on the stack, the information
becomes much more useful.

In summary, the below change to lib/rwsem.c should be applied; the
changes to kernel/rwsem.c could be applied if other kernel hackers agree
with my proposal that down_read()/down_write() in the profile is not
enough.

hugetlb: introduce nr_overcommit_hugepages sysctl

hugetlb: introduce nr_overcommit_hugepages sysctl

While examining the code to support /proc/sys/vm/hugetlb_dynamic_pool, I
became convinced that having a boolean sysctl was insufficient:

1) To support per-node control of hugepages, I have previously submitted
patches to add a sysfs attribute related to nr_hugepages. However, with
a boolean global value and per-mount quota enforcement constraining the
dynamic pool, adding corresponding control of the dynamic pool on a
per-node basis seems inconsistent to me.

2) Administration of the hugetlb dynamic pool with multiple hugetlbfs
mount points is, arguably, more arduous than it needs to be. Each quota
would need to be set separately, and the sum would need to be monitored.

To ease the administration, and to help make the way for per-node
control of the static & dynamic hugepage pool, I added a separate
sysctl, nr_overcommit_hugepages. This value serves as a high watermark
for the overall hugepage pool, while nr_hugepages serves as a low
watermark. The boolean sysctl can then be removed, as the condition

nr_overcommit_hugepages > 0

indicates the same administrative setting as

hugetlb_dynamic_pool == 1

Quotas still serve as local enforcement of the size of the pool on a
per-mount basis.

A few caveats:

1) There is a race whereby the global surplus huge page counter is
incremented before a hugepage has allocated. Another process could then
try grow the pool, and fail to convert a surplus huge page to a normal
huge page and instead allocate a fresh huge page. I believe this is
benign, as no memory is leaked (the actual pages are still tracked
correctly) and the counters won't go out of sync.

2) Shrinking the static pool while a surplus is in effect will allow the
number of surplus huge pages to exceed the overcommit value. As long as
this condition holds, however, no more surplus huge pages will be
allowed on the system until one of the two sysctls are increased
sufficiently, or the surplus huge pages go out of use and are freed.

Successfully tested on x86_64 with the current libhugetlbfs snapshot,
modified to use the new sysctl.

uml: stop gdb from deleting breakpoints when running UML

Sometimes when UML is debugged gdb miss breakpoints.

When process traced by gdb do fork, debugger remove breakpoints from
child address space. There is possibility to trace more than one fork,
but this not work with UML, I guess (only guess) there is a deadlock -
gdb waits for UML and UML waits for gdb.

When clone() is called with SIGCHLD and CLONE_VM flags, gdb see this
as PTRACE_EVENT_FORK not as PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE and remove breakpoints
from child and at the same time from traced process, because either
have the same address space.

Maybe it is possible to do fix in gdb, but I'm not sure if there is
easy way to find out if traced and child processes share memory. So I
do fix for UML, it simply do not call clone() with both SIGCHLD and

libata: fix ATAPI draining

With ATAPI transfer chunk size properly programmed, libata PIO HSM
should be able to handle full spurious data chunks.  Also, it's a good
idea to suppress trailing data warning for misc ATAPI commands as
there can be many of them per command - for example, if the chunk size
is 16 and the drive tries to transfer 510 bytes, there can be 31
trailing data messages.

This patch makes the following updates to libata ATAPI PIO HSM
implementation.

* Make it drain full spurious chunks.

* Suppress trailing data warning message for misc commands.

* Put limit on how many bytes can be drained.

* If odd, round up consumed bytes and the number of bytes to be
  drained.  This gets the number of bytes to drain right for drivers
  which do 16bit PIO.

This patch is partial backport of improve-ATAPI-data-xfer patchset
pending for #upstream.

While updating lbam/h for ATAPI commands, atapi_eh_request_sense() was
left out.  Update it.
