The increased use of pdtlb/pitlb instructions seemed to increase the frequency of random segmentation faults building packages. Further, we had a number of cases where TLB inserts would repeatedly fail and all forward progress would stop. The Haskell ghc package caused a lot of trouble in this area. The final indication of a race in pte handling was this syslog entry on sibaris (C8000): swap_free: Unused swap offset entry 00000004 BUG: Bad page map in process mysqld pte:00000100 pmd:019bbec5 addr:00000000ec464000 vm_flags:00100073 anon_vma:0000000221023828 mapping: (null) index:ec464 CPU: 1 PID: 9176 Comm: mysqld Not tainted 4.0.0-2-parisc64-smp #1 Debian 4.0.5-1 Backtrace: [<0000000040173eb0>] show_stack+0x20/0x38 [<0000000040444424>] dump_stack+0x9c/0x110 [<00000000402a0d38>] print_bad_pte+0x1a8/0x278 [<00000000402a28b8>] unmap_single_vma+0x3d8/0x770 [<00000000402a4090>] zap_page_range+0xf0/0x198 [<00000000402ba2a4>] SyS_madvise+0x404/0x8c0 Note that the pte value is 0 except for the accessed bit 0x100. This bit shouldn't be set without the present bit. It should be noted that the madvise system call is probably a trigger for many of the random segmentation faults. In looking at the kernel code, I found the following problems: 1) The pte_clear define didn't take TLB lock when clearing a pte. 2) We didn't test pte present bit inside lock in exception support. 3) The pte and tlb locks needed to merged in order to ensure consistency between page table and TLB. This also has the effect of serializing TLB broadcasts on SMP systems. The attached change implements the above and a few other tweaks to try to improve performance. Based on the timing code, TLB purges are very slow (e.g., ~ 209 cycles per page on rp3440). Thus, I think it beneficial to test the split_tlb variable to avoid duplicate purges. Probably, all PA 2.0 machines have combined TLBs. I dropped using __flush_tlb_range in flush_tlb_mm as I realized all applications and most threads have a stack size that is too large to make this useful. I added some comments to this effect. Since implementing 1 through 3, I haven't had any random segmentation faults on mx3210 (rp3440) in about one week of building code and running as a Debian buildd.

Pull Ceph fixes from Sage Weil: "There is a fix for CephFS and RBD when used within containers/namespaces, and a fix for the address learning the client is supposed to do when initially talking to the Ceph cluster. There are also two patches updating MAINTAINERS. One breaks out the common Ceph code shared by fs/ceph and drivers/block/rbd.c into a separate entry with the appropriate maintainers listed. The second adds a second reference to the github tree where the Ceph client development takes place (before it is pushed to korg and then to you). The goal here is to move closer to a situation where Ilya Dryomov or one of the other maintainers can push things to you if I am unavailable. Ilya has done most of the work preparing branches for upstream recently; you should not be surprised to hear from him if I am trapped in some internet-less wasteland or hit by a bus or something.

The firmware class uevent function accessed the "fw_priv->buf" buffer without the proper locking and testing for NULL. This is an old bug (looks like it goes back to 2012 and commit 1244691c: "firmware loader: introduce firmware_buf"), but for some reason it's triggering only now in 4.2-rc1.

Reading page fault handler code I've noticed that under right circumstances kernel would map anonymous pages into file mappings: if the VMA doesn't have vm_ops->fault() and the VMA wasn't fully populated on ->mmap(), kernel would handle page fault to not populated pte with do_anonymous_page(). Let's change page fault handler to use do_anonymous_page() only on anonymous VMA (->vm_ops == NULL) and make sure that the VMA is not shared. For file mappings without vm_ops->fault() or shred VMA without vm_ops, page fault on pte_none() entry would lead to SIGBUS. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

addr_is_blank() should return true if family is neither AF_INET nor AF_INET6. This is what its counterpart entity_addr_t::is_blank_ip() is doing and it is the right thing to do: in process_banner() we check if our address is blank and if it is "learn" it from our peer. As it is, we never learn our address and always send out a blank one. This goes way back to ceph.git commit dd732cbfc1c9 ("use sockaddr_storage; and some ipv6 support groundwork") from 2009.

The tilegx and tilepro compilers use .coldtext for their unlikely executed text section name, so an __attribute__((cold)) function will (when compiled with higher optimization levels) land in the .coldtext section. Modify modpost to add .coldtext to the set of OTHER_TEXT_SECTIONS so we don't get warnings about referencing such a section in an __ex_table block, and then also modify arch/tile/lib/memcpy_user_64.c so that it uses plain ".coldtext" instead of ".coldtext.memcpy". The latter naming is a relic of an earlier use of -ffunction-sections, which we no longer use by default.

The "fix" in commit 0b08c5e5 ("audit: Fix check of return value of strnlen_user()") didn't fix anything, it broke things. As reported by Steven Rostedt: "Yes, strnlen_user() returns 0 on fault, but if you look at what len is set to, than you would notice that on fault len would be -1" because we just subtracted one from the return value. So testing against 0 doesn't test for a fault condition, it tests against a perfectly valid empty string. Also fix up the usual braindamage wrt using WARN_ON() inside a conditional - make it part of the conditional and remove the explicit unlikely() (which is already part of the WARN_ON*() logic, exactly so that you don't have to write unreadable code.

In function mei_nfc_host_exit mei_cl_remove_device cannot be called under the device mutex as device removing flow invokes the device driver remove handler that calls in turn to mei_cl_disable_device which naturally acquires the device mutex. Also remove mei_cl_bus_remove_devices which has the same issue, but is never executed as currently the only device on the mei client bus is NFC and a new device cannot be easily added till the bus revamp is completed. This fixes regression caused by commit be9b720a ("mei_phy: move all nfc logic from mei driver to nfc") Prior to this change the nfc driver remove handler called to no-op disable function while actual nfc device was disabled directly from the mei driver.

If dev_pm_attach_wake_irq() fails, the device's power.wakeirq field should not be set to point to the struct wake_irq passed to that function, as that object will be freed going forward. For this reason, make dev_pm_attach_wake_irq() first call device_wakeup_attach_irq() and only set the device's power.wakeirq field if that's successful. That requires device_wakeup_attach_irq() to be called under the device's power.lock lock, but since dev_pm_attach_wake_irq() is the only caller of it, the requisite changes are easy to make.

This patch adds ACPI supports for AHCI platform driver, which uses _CLS method to match the device. The following is an example of ASL structure in DSDT for a SATA controller, which contains _CLS package to be matched by the ahci_platform driver: Device (AHC0) // AHCI Controller { Name(_HID, "AMDI0600") Name (_CCA, 1) Name (_CLS, Package (3) { 0x01, // Base Class: Mass Storage 0x06, // Sub-Class: serial ATA 0x01, // Interface: AHCI }) Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate () { Memory32Fixed (ReadWrite, 0xE0300000, 0x00010000) Interrupt (ResourceConsumer, Level, ActiveHigh, Exclusive,,,) { 387 } }) } Also, since ATA driver should not require PCI support for ATA_ACPI, this patch removes dependency in the driver/ata/Kconfig.

Device drivers typically use ACPI _HIDs/_CIDs listed in struct device_driver acpi_match_table to match devices. However, for generic drivers, we do not want to list _HID for all supported devices. Also, certain classes of devices do not have _CID (e.g. SATA, USB). Instead, we can leverage ACPI _CLS, which specifies PCI-defined class code (i.e. base-class, subclass and programming interface). This patch adds support for matching ACPI devices using the _CLS method. To support loadable module, current design uses _HID or _CID to match device's modalias. With the new way of matching with _CLS this would requires modification to the current ACPI modalias key to include _CLS. This patch appends PCI-defined class-code to the existing ACPI modalias as following. acpi:<HID>:<CID1>:<CID2>:..:<CIDn>:<bbsspp>: E.g: # cat /sys/devices/platform/AMDI0600:00/modalias acpi:AMDI0600:010601: where bb is th base-class code, ss is te sub-class code, and pp is the programming interface code Since there would not be _HID/_CID in the ACPI matching table of the driver, this patch adds a field to acpi_device_id to specify the matching _CLS. static const struct acpi_device_id ahci_acpi_match[] = { { ACPI_DEVICE_CLASS(PCI_CLASS_STORAGE_SATA_AHCI, 0xffffff) }, {}, }; In this case, the corresponded entry in modules.alias file would be: alias acpi*:010601:* ahci_platform Acked-by: Mika Westerberg <mika.westerberg@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Hanjun Guo <hanjun.guo@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Suravee Suthikulpanit <Suravee.Suthikulpanit@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

If pm_genpd_{add,remove}_device() keeps on failing with -EAGAIN, we end up with an infinite loop in genpd_dev_pm_{at,de}tach(). This may happen due to a genpd.prepared_count imbalance. This is a bug elsewhere, but it will result in a system lock up, possibly during reboot of an otherwise functioning system. To avoid this, put a limit on the maximum number of loop iterations, using an exponential back-off mechanism. If the limit is reached, the operation will just fail.

This effectively reverts the following three commits: 7bc10388 ACPI / resources: free memory on error in add_region_before() 0f1b414d ACPI / PNP: Avoid conflicting resource reservations b9a5e5e1 ACPI / init: Fix the ordering of acpi_reserve_resources() (commit b9a5e5e1 introduced regressions some of which, but not all, were addressed by commit 0f1b414d and commit 7bc10388 was a fixup on top of the latter) and causes ACPI fixed hardware resources to be reserved at the fs_initcall_sync stage of system initialization. The story is as follows. First, a boot regression was reported due to an apparent resource reservation ordering change after a commit that shouldn't lead to such changes. Investigation led to the conclusion that the problem happened because acpi_reserve_resources() was executed at the device_initcall() stage of system initialization which wasn't strictly ordered with respect to driver initialization (and with respect to the initialization of the pcieport driver in particular), so a random change causing the device initcalls to be run in a different order might break things. The response to that was to attempt to run acpi_reserve_resources() as soon as we knew that ACPI would be in use (commit b9a5e5e1). However, that turned out to be too early, because it caused resource reservations made by the PNP system driver to fail on at least one system and that failure was addressed by commit 0f1b414d. That fix still turned out to be insufficient, though, because calling acpi_reserve_resources() before the fs_initcall stage of system initialization caused a boot regression to happen on the eCAFE EC-800-H20G/S netbook. That meant that we only could call acpi_reserve_resources() at the fs_initcall initialization stage or later, but then we might just as well call it after the PNP initalization in which case commit 0f1b414d wouldn't be necessary any more. For this reason, the changes made by commit 0f1b414d are reverted (along with a memory leak fixup on top of that commit), the changes made by commit b9a5e5e1 that went too far are reverted too and acpi_reserve_resources() is changed into fs_initcall_sync, which will cause it to be executed after the PNP subsystem initialization (which is an fs_initcall) and before device initcalls (including the pcieport driver initialization) which should avoid the initial issue.

Commit 0a196848 ("perf: Fix arch_perf_out_copy_user default"), changes copy_from_user_nmi() to return the number of remaining bytes so that it behave like copy_from_user(). Unfortunately, when the range is outside of the process memory, the return value is still the number of byte copied, eg. 0, instead of the remaining bytes. As all users of copy_from_user_nmi() were modified as part of commit 0a196848, the function should be fixed to return the total number of bytes if range is not correct.
