Zachary Amsden 3012d2d209 [PATCH] x86: Always relax segments
APM BIOSes have many bugs regarding proper representation of the appropriate
segment limits for calling the BIOS.  By default, APM_RELAX_SEGMENTS is always
turned on to support running the APM BIOS on these buggy machines.  Keeping
64k limits poses very little danger to the kernel, because the pages where the
APM BIOS is located will always be in low physical memory BIOS areas, which
should already be marked reserved, and only buggy BIOSes would possibly
overstep the segment bounds with writes to data anyway.

Since forcing stricter limits breaks many machines and is not default
behavior, it seems reasonable to deprecate the older code which may cause APM
BIOS to fault.

If you really have a badly enough broken APM BIOS that you have to turn off
APM_RELAX_SEGMENTS, seems like the best recourse here would be to disable the
APM BIOS and / or not compile it into your kernel to begin with, and / or add
your system to the known bad list.

The reason I want to deprecate this code is there is underlying brokenness
with the set_limit macros, and getting rid of many of the call sites rather
than rewriting them seems to be the simplest and most correct course of
action.

Jan Beulich e43d674f44 [PATCH] i386: don't blindly enable interrupts in die()
Rather than blindly re-enabling interrupts in die(), save their state
upon entry and then restore that state.

If the kernel is in really bad condition and faults with interrupts disabled,
re-enabling them in die() may cause even more trouble, implying more chances
of data corruption.

Zachary Amsden 7c4cb60e5b [PATCH] x86: GDT alignment fix
Make GDT page aligned and page padded to support running inside of a
hypervisor.  This prevents false sharing of the GDT page with other hot
data, which is not allowed in Xen, and causes performance problems in
VMware.

Rather than go back to the old method of statically allocating the GDT
(which wastes unneded space for non-present CPUs), the GDT for APs is
allocated dynamically.

David Howells fef2b580eb [PATCH] frv: improve signal handling
The attached patch improves the signal handling:

 (1) It makes do_signal() static as it isn't called from anywhere outside of
     the arch code.

 (2) It removes the regs argument to all the static functions within that file,
     using __frame instead (which is the same thing held in a global register).

David Howells 8efc0ab50e [PATCH] frv: fix signal handling
The attached patch makes FRV signal handling work properly:

 (1) After do_notify_resume() has been called, the work flags must be checked
     again (there may be another signal to deliver or the process might require
     rescheduling for instance).

 (2) After the signal frame is set up on the userspace stack, ptrace() should
     be given an opportunity to single-step into the signal handler.

 (3) The error state from setting up a signal frame should be passed back up
     the call chain.

 (4) The segfault handler shouldn't be preemptively reset in the arch if we
     fail to deliver a SEGV signal: force_sig() will take care of that.

Don't use printk() where "current_thread_info()" is crap.

Until when we switch to running on init_stack, current_thread_info() evaluates
to crap. Printk uses "current" at times (in detail, &current is evaluated with
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK to check the spinlock owner task).

And this leads to random segmentation faults.

Exactly, what happens is that &current = *(current_thread_info()), i.e. round
down $esp and dereference the value. I.e. access the stack below $esp, which
causes SIGSEGV on a VM_GROWSDOWN vma (see arch/i386/mm/fault.c).

It turns out that commit f9bd170a87
broke the cascade from XICS to i8259 on pSeries machines; specifically
we ended up not ever doing the EOI on the XICS for the cascade.  The
result was that interrupts from the serial ports (and presumably any
other devices using ISA interrupts) didn't get through.  This fixes
it and also simplifies the code, by doing the EOI on the XICS in the
xics_get_irq routine after reading and acking the interrupt on the
i8259.

Paul Mackerras 3eb6f26bcd powerpc: correct register usage in 64-bit syscall exit path
Since we don't restore the volatile registers in the syscall exit
path, we need to make sure we don't leak any potentially interesting
values from the kernel to userspace.  This was already the case for
all except r11.  This makes it use r11 for an MSR value, so r11 will
have an (uninteresting) MSR value in it on return to userspace.

Nicolas Pitre 7c612bfd4e [ARM] 3210/1: add missing memory barrier helper for NPTL support
Patch from Nicolas Pitre

Strictly speaking, the NPTL kernel helpers are required for pre ARMv6
only.  They are available on ARMv6+ as well for obvious compatibility
reasons.  However there are cases where extra memory barriers are needed
when using an SMP ARMv6 machine but not on pre-ARMv6.

This patch adds a memory barrier kernel helper that glibc can use as
needed for pre-ARMv6 binaries to be forward compatible with an SMP
kernel on ARMv6, as well as the necessary dmb instructions to the
cmpxchg helper.

Jeff Dike 5b7b15afee [PATCH] uml skas0: stop gcc's insanity
With Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it>

UML skas0 stub has been miscompiling for many people (incidentally not
the authors), depending on the used GCC versions.

I think (and testing on some GCC versions shows) this patch avoids the
fundamental issue which is behind this, namely gcc using the stack when
we have just replaced it, behind gcc's back.  The remapping and storage
of the return value is hidden in a blob of asm, hopefully giving gcc no
room for creativity.

Jack Steiner d74700e604 [IA64-SGI] Missed TLB flush
I see why the problem exists only on SN. SN uses a different hardware
mechanism to purge TLB entries across nodes.

It looks like there is a bug in the SN TLB flushing code. During context switch,
kernel threads inherit the mm of the task that was previously running on the
cpu. This confuses the code in sn2_global_tlb_purge().

The result is a missed TLB purge for the task that owns the "borrowed" mm.

(I hit the problem running heavy stress where kswapd was purging code pages of
a user task that woke kswapd. The user task took a SIGILL fault trying to
execute code in the page that had been ripped out from underneath it).

Lothar Wassmann 1ee9530a71 [ARM] 3201/1: PXA27x: Prevent hangup during resume due to inadvertedly enabling MBREQ (replaces: 3198/1)
Patch from Lothar Wassmann

The patch makes sure, that the ouptut functions of pins are restored
before restoring the Alternat Function settings, preventing pins from
being intermediately configured for undefined or unwanted alternate
functions.

Here is the original comment:
I've got a PXA270 system that uses GPIO80 as nCS4. This system did
hang on resume. Digging into the problem I found that the processor
stalled immediately when restoring the GAFR2_U register which restored
the alternate function for GPIO80. Since the GPDR registers were
restored after the GAFR registers, the offending GPIO was configured
as input at this point.
Thus the alternate function that was in effect after restoring the
GAFR was in fact the input function "MBREQ" instead of the output
function "nCS4". The "PXA27x Processor Family Developer's Manual"
(Footnote in Table 6-1 on page 6-3) states that:
"The MBREQ alternate function must not be enabled until the PSSR[RDH]
bit field is cleared. For more details, see Table 3-15, "PSSR Bit
Definitions" on page 3-71."

There is another note in the Developer's Manual (chapter 24.4.2
"GPIO operation as Alternate Function" on page 24-4)
stating that:
"Configuring a GPIO for an alternate function that is not defined for
it causes unpredictable results."

Since some GPIOs have no input function defined, and to prevent
inadvertedly programming the MBREQ function on some pin, the GAFR
registers should be restored after the GPDR registers have been
restored.

Additional provisions have to be made when the MBREQ function is
actually required. The corresponding GAFR bits should not be restored
with the regular GAFR restore, but must be set only after the PSSR
bits have been cleared.

Johannes Berg ef96943400 [PATCH] ppc32: set smp_tb_synchronized on UP with SMP kernel
ppc32 kernel, when built with CONFIG_SMP and booted on a single CPU
machine, will not properly set smp_tb_synchronized, thus causing
gettimeofday() to not use the HW timebase and to be limited to jiffy
resolution.  This, among others, causes unacceptable pauses when launching
X.org.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt b39f9485e6 [PATCH] powerpc: Fix clock spreading setting on some powermacs
The code that sets the clock spreading feature of the Intrepid ASIC
must not be run on some machine models or those won't boot. This
fixes it.

Nikola Valerjev 22f975f4ff [ARM] 3200/1: Singlestep over ARM BX and BLX instructions using ptrace fix
Patch from Nikola Valerjev

Single stepping an application using ptrace() fails over ARM instructions BX and BLX.

Steps to reproduce:

Compile and link the following files

main.c
-----
void foo();
int main() {
    foo();
    return 0;
}

foo.s
-----
	.text
	.globl foo
foo:
	BX LR

Using ptrace() functionality, run to main(), and start singlestepping.
Singlestep over \"BX LR\" instruction won\'t transfer the control back
to main, but run the code to completion.

This problems seems to be in the function get_branch_address() in
arch/arm/kernel/ptrace.c. The function doesn\'t seem to recognize BX
and BLX instructions as branches. BX and BLX instructions can be used
to convert from ARM to Thumb mode if the target address has the low
bit set. However, they are also perfectly legal in the ARM only mode.
Although other things in the kernel seem to indicate that only ARM
mode is accepted (and not Thumb), many compilers will generate BX
and BLX instructions even when generating ARM only code.
