optimization The gcc manual says: |`-fdelete-null-pointer-checks' | Use global dataflow analysis to identify and eliminate useless | checks for null pointers. The compiler assumes that dereferencing | a null pointer would have halted the program. If a pointer is | checked after it has already been dereferenced, it cannot be null. | Enabled at levels `-O2', `-O3', `-Os'. Now the problem can be seen with this test case: #include <linux/prefetch.h> extern void bar(char *x); void foo(char *x) { prefetch(x); if (x) bar(x); } Because the constraint to the inline asm used in the prefetch() macro is a memory operand, gcc assumes that the asm code does dereference the pointer and the delete-null-pointer-checks optimization kicks in. Inspection of generated assembly for the above example shows that bar() is indeed called unconditionally without any test on the value of x. Of course in the prefetch case there is no real dereference and it cannot be assumed that a null pointer would have been caught at that point. This causes kernel oopses with constructs like hlist_for_each_entry() where the list's 'next' content is prefetched before the pointer is tested against NULL, and only when gcc feels like applying this optimization which doesn't happen all the time with more complex code. It appears that the way to prevent delete-null-pointer-checks optimization to occur in this case is to make prefetch() into a static inline function instead of a macro. At least this is what is done on x86_64 where a similar inline asm memory operand is used (I presume they would have seen the same problem if it didn't work) and resulting code for the above example confirms that. An alternative would consist of replacing the memory operand by a register operand containing the pointer, and use the addressing mode explicitly in the asm template. But that would be less optimal than an offsettable memory reference. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

L_PTE_ASID is not really required to be stored in every PTE, since we can identify it via the address passed to set_pte_at(). So, create set_pte_ext() which takes the address of the PTE to set, the Linux PTE value, and the additional CPU PTE bits which aren't encoded in the Linux PTE value.

Don't set HWCAP_VFP in the processor support file; not only does it depend on the processor features, but it also depends on the support code being present. Therefore, only set it if the support code detects that we have a VFP coprocessor attached. Also, move the VFP handling of the coprocessor access register into the VFP support code.

It appears that include/asm-arm/bug.h requires include/linux/stddef.h for the definition of NULL. It seems that stddef.h was always included indirectly in most cases, and that issue was properly fixed a while ago. Then commit 5047f09b incorrectly reverted change from commit ff10952a (bad dwmw2) and the problem recently resurfaced. Because the third argument to __bug() is never used anyway, RMK suggested getting rid of it entirely instead of readding #include <linux/stddef.h> which this patch does.

Follow-up to patch "Consolidate driver registering": Since I plan the lifetime of Linux 2.6.20 to be the deprecation phase of CONFIG_IEEE1394_EXPORT_FULL_API, it seems fair to keep all previously exported symbols available with this option until this phase is over.

This patch consolidates some bookkeeping for driver registering. It closely models what pci_register_driver() does. The main addition is that the owner of the driver is set, so we get a proper symlink for /sys/bus/ieee1394/driver/*/module. Also moves setting of name and bus type into nodemgr. Because of this, we can remove the EXPORT_SYMBOL for ieee1394_bus_type, since it's now only used in ieee1394.ko. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

If "modprobe ohci1394" was quickly followed by "modprobe -r ohci1394", say with 1 second pause in between, the modprobe -r got stuck in uninterruptible sleep in kthread_stop. At the same time the knodemgrd slept uninterruptibly in bus_rescan_devices_helper. That's because driver_detach took the semaphore of the PCI device and bus_rescan_devices_helper wanted to take the semaphore of the FireWire host device's parent, which is the same semaphore. This was a regression since Linux 2.6.16, commit bf74ad5b, "Hold the device's parent's lock during probe and remove". The fix (or workaround) adds a dummy driver to the hpsb_host device. Now bus_rescan_devices_helper won't scan the host device anymore. This doesn't hurt since we have no drivers which will bind to these devices and it is unlikely that there will ever be such a driver. The dummy driver is befittingly presented as a representation of ieee1394 itself. Fixes: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6706Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

There is no manpower available to reform oui.db into a library for use in more kernel subsystems. The low ratio of usefulness to size and the occasional need to update oui.db from IEEE's official list suggest to drop oui.db.
