Now that the DWARF unwinder is being used to provide perf callstacks unwinding speed is an issue. It is no longer being used in exceptional circumstances where we don't care about runtime performance, e.g. when panicing, so it makes sense improve performance is possible. With this patch I saw a 42% improvement in unwind time when calling return_address(1). Greater improvements will be seen as the number of levels unwound increases as each unwind is now cheaper. Note that insertion time has doubled but that's just the price we pay for keeping the trees balanced. However, this is a one-time cost for kernel boot/module load and so the improvements in lookup time dominate the extra time we spend keeping the trees balanced.

Unfortunately, due to poor DWARF info in current toolchains, unwinding through interrutps cannot be done reliably. The problem is that the DWARF info for function epilogues is wrong. Take this standard epilogue sequence, 80003cc4: e3 6f mov r14,r15 80003cc6: 26 4f lds.l @r15+,pr 80003cc8: f6 6e mov.l @r15+,r14 <---- interrupt here 80003cca: f6 6b mov.l @r15+,r11 80003ccc: f6 6a mov.l @r15+,r10 80003cce: f6 69 mov.l @r15+,r9 80003cd0: 0b 00 rts If we take an interrupt at the highlighted point, the DWARF info will bogusly claim that the return address can be found at some offset from the frame pointer, even though the frame pointer was just restored. The worst part is if the unwinder finds a text address at the bogus stack address - unwinding will continue, for a bit, until it finally comes across an unexpected address on the stack and blows up. The only solution is to stop unwinding once we've calculated the function that was executing when the interrupt occurred. This PC can be easily calculated from pt_regs->pc.

The address that ret_from_exception and ret_from_irq will return to is found in the stack slot for SPC, not PR. This error was causing the DWARF unwinder to pick up the wrong return address on the stack and then unwind using the unwind tables for the wrong function. While I'm here I might as well add CFI annotations for the other registers since they could be useful when unwinding.

The current root hub polling code exhibits a spinlock recursion on the private controller lock. r8a66597_root_hub_control() is called from r8a66597_timer() which grabs the lock and disables IRQs. The following chain emerges: r8a66597_timer() <-- lock taken r8a66597_root_hub_control() r8a66597_check_syssts() usb_hcd_poll_rh_status() <-- acquires the same lock /* insert death here */ The entire chain requires IRQs to be disabled, so we just unlock and relock around the call to usb_hcd_poll_rh_status() while leaving the IRQ state unchanged.

This implements the same D-cache flushing logic for r8a66597-hcd as Catalin's isp1760 (http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/76391/) change, with the same note applying here as well: When the HDC driver writes the data to the transfer buffers it pollutes the D-cache (unlike DMA drivers where the device writes the data). If the corresponding pages get mapped into user space, there are no additional cache flushing operations performed and this causes random user space faults on architectures with separate I and D caches (Harvard) or those with aliasing D-cache. This fixes up crashes during USB boot on SH7724 and others: http://marc.info/?l=linux-sh&m=126439837308912&w=2Reported-by: Goda Yusuke <goda.yusuke@renesas.com> Tested-by: Goda Yusuke <goda.yusuke@renesas.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org> Acked-by: Yoshihiro Shimoda <shimoda.yoshihiro@renesas.com>

Currently the omap serial clocks are autoidled after 5 seconds. However, this causes lost characters on the serial ports. As this is considered non-standard behaviour for Linux, disable the timeout. Note that this will also cause blocking of any deeper omap sleep states. To enable the autoidling of the serial ports, do something like this for each serial port: # echo 5 > /sys/devices/platform/serial8250.0/sleep_timeout # echo 5 > /sys/devices/platform/serial8250.1/sleep_timeout ...

3630 has more mux signals than 34xx. The additional pins exist in omap36xx_cbp_subset, but are not initialized as the superset is missing these offsets. This causes the following errors during the boot: mux: Unknown entry offset 0x236 mux: Unknown entry offset 0x22e mux: Unknown entry offset 0x1ec mux: Unknown entry offset 0x1ee mux: Unknown entry offset 0x1f4 mux: Unknown entry offset 0x1f6 mux: Unknown entry offset 0x1f8 mux: Unknown entry offset 0x1fa mux: Unknown entry offset 0x1fc mux: Unknown entry offset 0x22a mux: Unknown entry offset 0x226 mux: Unknown entry offset 0x230 mux: Unknown entry offset 0x22c mux: Unknown entry offset 0x228 Fix this by adding the missing offsets to omap3 superset.

The WARN_ON in lookup_pi_state which complains about a mismatch between pi_state->owner->pid and the pid which we retrieved from the user space futex is completely bogus. The code just emits the warning and then continues despite the fact that it detected an inconsistent state of the futex. A conveniant way for user space to spam the syslog. Replace the WARN_ON by a consistency check. If the values do not match return -EINVAL and let user space deal with the mess it created. This also fixes the missing task_pid_vnr() when we compare the pi_state->owner pid with the futex value.

If the owner of a PI futex dies we fix up the pi_state and set pi_state->owner to NULL. When a malicious or just sloppy programmed user space application sets the futex value to 0 e.g. by calling pthread_mutex_init(), then the futex can be acquired again. A new waiter manages to enqueue itself on the pi_state w/o damage, but on unlock the kernel dereferences pi_state->owner and oopses. Prevent this by checking pi_state->owner in the unlock path. If pi_state->owner is not current we know that user space manipulated the futex value. Ignore the mess and return -EINVAL. This catches the above case and also the case where a task hijacks the futex by setting the tid value and then tries to unlock it.

This fixes a futex key reference count bug in futex_lock_pi(), where a key's reference count is incremented twice but decremented only once, causing the backing object to not be released. If the futex is created in a temporary file in an ext3 file system, this bug causes the file's inode to become an "undead" orphan, which causes an oops from a BUG_ON() in ext3_put_super() when the file system is unmounted. glibc's test suite is known to trigger this, see <http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14256>. The bug is a regression from 2.6.28-git3, namely Peter Zijlstra's 38d47c1b "[PATCH] futex: rely on get_user_pages() for shared futexes". That commit made get_futex_key() also increment the reference count of the futex key, and updated its callers to decrement the key's reference count before returning. Unfortunately the normal exit path in futex_lock_pi() wasn't corrected: the reference count is incremented by get_futex_key() and queue_lock(), but the normal exit path only decrements once, via unqueue_me_pi(). The fix is to put_futex_key() after unqueue_me_pi(), since 2.6.31 this is easily done by 'goto out_put_key' rather than 'goto out'.

The VM/VFS does not allow mapping->a_ops->invalidatepage() to fail. Unfortunately, nfs_wb_page_cancel() may fail if a fatal signal occurs. Since the NFS code assumes that the page stays mapped for as long as the writeback is active, we can end up Oopsing (among other things). The only safe fix here is to convert nfs_wait_on_request(), so as to make it uninterruptible (as is already the case with wait_on_page_writeback()).

Although all glocks are, by the time of the umount glock wait, scheduled for demotion, some of them haven't made it far enough through the process for the original set of waiting code to wait for them. This extends the ref count to the whole glock lifetime in order to ensure that the waiting does catch all glocks. It does make it a bit more invasive, but it seems the only sensible solution at the moment. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

Device is not registered using dev_t, so it should not be destroyed using device_destroy which looks up the device by dev_t.
