commit 98586ed8 upstream. When a CPU is taken offline in an SMP system, cpufreq_remove_dev() nulls out the per-cpu policy before cpufreq_stats_free_table() can make use of it. cpufreq_stats_free_table() then skips the call to sysfs_remove_group(), leaving about 100 bytes of sysfs-related memory unclaimed each time a CPU-removal occurs. Break up cpu_stats_free_table into sysfs and table portions, and call the sysfs portion early. Signed-off-by:

commit 27ecddc2 upstream. When we discover CPUs that are affected by each other's frequency/voltage transitions, the first CPU gets a sysfs directory created, and rest of the siblings get symlinks. Currently, when we hotplug off only the first CPU, all of the symlinks and the sysfs directory gets removed. Even though rest of the siblings are still online and functional, they are orphaned, and no longer governed by cpufreq. This patch, given the above scenario, creates a sysfs directory for the first sibling and symlinks for the rest of the siblings. Please note the recursive call, it was rather too ugly to roll it out. And the removal of redundant NULL setting (it is already taken care of near the top of the function). Signed-off-by:

commit 52c3ce4e upstream. The kmemleak_seq_next() function tries to get an object (and increment its use count) before returning it. If it could not get the last object during list traversal (because it may have been freed), the function should return NULL rather than a pointer to such object that it did not get. Signed-off-by:

Commit c23a103f wrongly introduced references to the unified firmware file "phanfw.bin", which is not supported by netxen in 2.6.32. The driver reports this filename when loading firmware from flash, and includes a MODULE_FIRMWARE hint for the filename even though it will never use it. Signed-off-by:

commit ebde6f8a upstream. During initialization of vmxnet3, the state of LRO gets out of sync with netdev->features. This leads to very poor TCP performance in a IP forwarding setup and is hitting many VMware users. Simplified call sequence: 1. vmxnet3_declare_features() initializes "adapter->lro" to true. 2. The kernel automatically disables LRO if IP forwarding is enabled, so vmxnet3_set_flags() gets called. This also updates netdev->features. 3. Now vmxnet3_setup_driver_shared() is called. "adapter->lro" is still set to true and LRO gets enabled again, even though netdev->features shows it's disabled. Fix it by updating "adapter->lro", too. The private vmxnet3 adapter flags are scheduled for removal in net-next, see commit a0d2730c "net: vmxnet3: convert to hw_features". Patch applies to 2.6.37 / 2.6.38 and 2.6.39-rc6.

commit e503f9e4 upstream. This patch fixes a bug reported by a customer, who found that many unreasonable error interrupts reported on all non-boot CPUs (APs) during the system boot stage. According to Chapter 10 of Intel Software Developer Manual Volume 3A, Local APIC may signal an illegal vector error when an LVT entry is set as an illegal vector value (0~15) under FIXED delivery mode (bits 8-11 is 0), regardless of whether the mask bit is set or an interrupt actually happen. These errors are seen as error interrupts. The initial value of thermal LVT entries on all APs always reads 0x10000 because APs are woken up by BSP issuing INIT-SIPI-SIPI sequence to them and LVT registers are reset to 0s except for the mask bits which are set to 1s when APs receive INIT IPI. When the BIOS takes over the thermal throttling interrupt, the LVT thermal deliver mode should be SMI and it is required from the kernel to keep AP's LVT thermal monitoring register programmed as such as well. This issue happens when BIOS does not take over thermal throttling interrupt, AP's LVT thermal monitor register will be restored to 0x10000 which means vector 0 and fixed deliver mode, so all APs will signal illegal vector error interrupts. This patch check if interrupt delivery mode is not fixed mode before restoring AP's LVT thermal monitor register. Signed-off-by:

commit 07f4beb0 upstream. The first cpu which switches from periodic to oneshot mode switches also the broadcast device into oneshot mode. The broadcast device serves as a backup for per cpu timers which stop in deeper C-states. To avoid starvation of the cpus which might be in idle and depend on broadcast mode it marks the other cpus as broadcast active and sets the brodcast expiry value of those cpus to the next tick. The oneshot mode broadcast bit for the other cpus is sticky and gets only cleared when those cpus exit idle. If a cpu was not idle while the bit got set in consequence the bit prevents that the broadcast device is armed on behalf of that cpu when it enters idle for the first time after it switched to oneshot mode. In most cases that goes unnoticed as one of the other cpus has usually a timer pending which keeps the broadcast device armed with a short timeout. Now if the only cpu which has a short timer active has the bit set then the broadcast device will not be armed on behalf of that cpu and will fire way after the expected timer expiry. In the case of Christians bug report it took ~145 seconds which is about half of the wrap around time of HPET (the limit for that device) due to the fact that all other cpus had no timers armed which expired before the 145 seconds timeframe. The solution is simply to clear the broadcast active bit unconditionally when a cpu switches to oneshot mode after the first cpu switched the broadcast device over. It's not idle at that point otherwise it would not be executing that code. [ I fundamentally hate that broadcast crap. Why the heck thought some folks that when going into deep idle it's a brilliant concept to switch off the last device which brings the cpu back from that state? ] Thanks to Christian for providing all the valuable debug information!

commit e05b2efb upstream. Christian Hoffmann reported that the command line clocksource override with acpi_pm timer fails: Kernel command line: <SNIP> clocksource=acpi_pm hpet clockevent registered Switching to clocksource hpet Override clocksource acpi_pm is not HRT compatible. Cannot switch while in HRT/NOHZ mode. The watchdog code is what enables CLOCK_SOURCE_VALID_FOR_HRES, but we actually end up selecting the clocksource before we enqueue it into the watchdog list, so that's why we see the warning and fail to switch to acpi_pm timer as requested. That's particularly bad when we want to debug timekeeping related problems in early boot. Put the selection call last. Reported-by:

commit 14fb57dc upstream. Trying to enable the local APIC timer on early K8 revisions uncovers a number of other issues with it, in conjunction with the C1E enter path on AMD. Fixing those causes much more churn and troubles than the benefit of using that timer brings so don't enable it on K8 at all, falling back to the original functionality the kernel had wrt to that.

commit 328935e6 upstream. This reverts commit e20a2d20, as it crashes certain boxes with specific AMD CPU models. Moving the lower endpoint of the Erratum 400 check to accomodate earlier K8 revisions (A-E) opens a can of worms which is simply not worth to fix properly by tweaking the errata checking framework: * missing IntPenging MSR on revisions < CG cause #GP: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=130541471818831 * makes earlier revisions use the LAPIC timer instead of the C1E idle routine which switches to HPET, thus not waking up in deeper C-states: http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/24/20 Therefore, leave the original boundary starting with K8-revF.

Currently with 2.6.32-longterm, its possible for time() to occasionally return values one second earlier then the previous time() call. This happens because update_xtime_cache() does: xtime_cache = xtime; timespec_add_ns(&xtime_cache, nsec); Its possible that xtime is 1sec,999msecs, and nsecs is 1ms, resulting in a xtime_cache that is 2sec,0ms. get_seconds() (which is used by sys_time()) does not take the xtime_lock, which is ok as the xtime.tv_sec value is a long and can be atomically read safely. The problem occurs the next call to update_xtime_cache() if xtime has not increased: /* This sets xtime_cache back to 1sec, 999msec */ xtime_cache = xtime; /* get_seconds, calls here, and sees a 1second inconsistency */ timespec_add_ns(&xtime_cache, nsec); In order to resolve this, we could add locking to get_seconds(), but it needs to be lock free, as it is called from the machine check handler, opening a possible deadlock. So instead, this patch introduces an intermediate value for the calculations, so that we only assign xtime_cache once with the correct time, using ACCESS_ONCE to make sure the compiler doesn't optimize out any intermediate values. The xtime_cache manipulations were removed with 2.6.35, so that kernel and later do not need this change. In 2.6.33 and 2.6.34 the logarithmic accumulation should make it so xtime is updated each tick, so it is unlikely that two updates to xtime_cache could occur while the difference between xtime and xtime_cache crosses the second boundary. However, the paranoid might want to pull this into 2.6.33/34-longterm just to be sure. Thanks to Stephen for helping finally narrow down the root cause and many hours of help with testing and validation. Also thanks to Max, Andi, Eric and Paul for review of earlier attempts and helping clarify what is possible with regard to out of order execution. Acked-by:

(backported from commit 28e4639a) If preempted after kvmclock values are updated, but before hardware virtualization is entered, the last tsc time as read by the guest is never set. It underflows the next time kvmclock is updated if there has not yet been a successful entry / exit into hardware virt. Fix this by simply setting last_tsc to the newly read tsc value so that any computed nsec advance of kvmclock is nulled. Signed-off-by:

(backported from commit 1d5f066e) Kernel time, which advances in discrete steps may progress much slower than TSC. As a result, when kvmclock is adjusted to a new base, the apparent time to the guest, which runs at a much higher, nsec scaled rate based on the current TSC, may have already been observed to have a larger value (kernel_ns + scaled tsc) than the value to which we are setting it (kernel_ns + 0). We must instead compute the clock as potentially observed by the guest for kernel_ns to make sure it does not go backwards. Signed-off-by:

(cherry-picked from commit 347bb444) The scale_delta function for shift / multiply with 31-bit precision moves to a common header so it can be used by both kernel and kvm module. Signed-off-by:

commit b2502698 upstream. Since commit a120e912 Author: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com> Date: Fri Feb 19 15:47:33 2010 -0800 iwlwifi: sanity check before counting number of tfds can be free we use skb->data after calling ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe(), which could free skb instantly. On current kernels I do not observe practical problems related with bug, but on 2.6.35.y it cause random system hangs when stressing wireless link. Signed-off-by:

commit ec95d35a upstream. MUSB is a non-standard host implementation which can handle all speeds with the same core. We need to set has_tt flag after commit d199c96d (USB: prevent buggy hubs from crashing the USB stack) in order for MUSB HCD to continue working. Signed-off-by:

commit 729a6a30 upstream. ata_pio_sectors() expects buffer for each sector to be contained in a single page; otherwise, it ends up overrunning the first page. This is achieved by setting queue DMA alignment. If sector_size is smaller than PAGE_SIZE and all buffers are sector_size aligned, buffer for each sector is always contained in a single page. This wasn't applied to ATAPI devices but IDENTIFY_PACKET is executed as ATA_PROT_PIO and thus uses ata_pio_sectors(). Newer versions of udev issue IDENTIFY_PACKET with unaligned buffer triggering the problem and causing oops. This patch fixes the problem by setting sdev->sector_size to ATA_SECT_SIZE on ATATPI devices and always setting DMA alignment to sector_size. While at it, add a warning for the unlikely but still possible scenario where sector_size is larger than PAGE_SIZE, in which case the alignment wouldn't be enough. Signed-off-by:

commit a55ab496 upstream. When writing a disc on certain lite-on dvd-writers (also rebadged as optiarc/LG/...) connected to a vt6420, the ATAPI CDB ends up in the datastream and on the disc, causing silent corruption. Delaying between sending the CDB and starting DMA seems to prevent this. I do not know if there are burners that do not suffer from this, but the patch should be safe for those as well. There are many reports of this issue, but AFAICT no solution was found before. For example: http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0802.3/0561.htmlSigned-off-by:

commit 75f64dd5 upstream. HW crypto in rt2500usb does not seem to support keys with different ciphers, which breaks TKIP+AES mode. Fall back to software encryption to fix it. This should fix long-standing problems with rt2500usb and WPA, such as: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4834 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=484888 Also tested that it does not break WEP, TKIP-only and AES-only modes.
