On x86_64, percpu variables current_task and kernel_stack are used for get_current() and current_thread_info() respectively and thus are often used close to each other. Move definition of current_task to kernel/cpu/common.c right above kernel_stack definition and align it to cacheline so that they always fall into the same cacheline. Two percpu variables defined there together - irq_stack_ptr and irq_count - are also pretty hot and will benefit from sharing the cacheline. For consistency, current_task definition for x86_32 is also moved to kernel/cpu/common.c. Putting current_task and kernel_stack into the same cacheline was suggested by Linus Torvalds.

DECLARE/DEFINE_PER_CPU_PAGE_ALIGNED() put percpu variables in .page_aligned section without adding any alignment restrictions. Currently, this doesn't cause any problem because all users of the macros have explicit page alignment and page-sized but it's much safer to enforce page alignment from the macros. After all, it's what they claim to do. Add __aligned(PAGE_SIZE) to DECLARE/DEFINE_PER_CPU_PAGE_ALIGNED() and drop explicit alignment from it users.

This is very useful for some common things like 'get_current()' and 'get_thread_info()', which can be used multiple times in a function, and where the result is cacheable. tj: Added the magical undocumented "P" modifier to UP __percpu_arg() to force gcc to dereference the pointer value passed in via the "p" input constraint. Without this, percpu_read_stable() returns the address of the percpu variable. Also added comment explaining the difference between percpu_read() and percpu_read_stable().

As revalidate_disk calls check_disk_size_change, it will cause any capacity change of a gendisk to be propagated to the blockdev inode. So use that instead of mucking about with locks and i_size_write. Also add a call to revalidate_disk in do_md_run and a few other places where the gendisk capacity is changed.

The ->quiesce method is not supposed to stop resync/recovery/reshape, just normal IO. But in raid5 we don't have a way to know which stripes are being used for normal IO and which for resync etc, so we need to wait for all stripes to be idle to be sure that all writes have completed. However reshape keeps at least some stripe busy for an extended period of time, so a call to raid5_quiesce can block for several seconds needlessly. So arrange for reshape etc to pause briefly while raid5_quiesce is trying to quiesce the array so that the active_stripes count can drop to zero. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

As the internal reshape_progress counter is the main driver for reshape, the fact that reshape_position sometimes starts with the wrong value has minimal effect. It is visible in sysfs and that is all. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

The v1.x metadata does not have a fixed size and can grow when devices are added. If it grows enough to require an extra sector of storage, we need to update the 'sb_size' to match. Without this, md can write out an incomplete superblock with a bad checksum, which will be rejected when trying to re-assemble the array.

We trust the 'desc_nr' field in v1.x metadata enough to use it as an index in an array. This isn't really safe. So range-check the value first. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

When an array is changed from RAID6 to RAID5, fewer drives are needed. So any device that is made superfluous by the level conversion must be marked as not-active. For the RAID6->RAID5 conversion, this will be a drive which only has 'Q' blocks on it. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

This patch replaces md_integrity_check() by two new public functions: md_integrity_register() and md_integrity_add_rdev() which are both personality-independent. md_integrity_register() is called from the ->run and ->hot_remove methods of all personalities that support data integrity. The function iterates over the component devices of the array and determines if all active devices are integrity capable and if their profiles match. If this is the case, the common profile is registered for the mddev via blk_integrity_register(). The second new function, md_integrity_add_rdev() is called from the ->hot_add_disk methods, i.e. whenever a new device is being added to a raid array. If the new device does not support data integrity, or has a profile different from the one already registered, data integrity for the mddev is disabled. For raid0 and linear, only the call to md_integrity_register() from the ->run method is necessary. Signed-off-by: Andre Noll <maan@systemlinux.org> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

This function has traditionally used "insert_resource()", because before commit cebd78a8 ("Fix pci_claim_resource") it used to just insert the resource into whatever root resource tree that was indicated by "pcibios_select_root()". So there Matthew fixed it to actually look up the proper parent resource, which means that now it's actively wrong to then traverse the resource tree any more: we already know exactly where the new resource should go. And when we then did commit a76117df ("x86: Use pci_claim_resource"), which changed the x86 PCI code from the open-coded pr = pci_find_parent_resource(dev, r); if (!pr || request_resource(pr, r) < 0) { to using if (pci_claim_resource(dev, idx) < 0) { that "insert_resource()" now suddenly became a problem, and causes a regression covered by http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13891 which this fixes.

OOPS on resume when the wireless adaptor is disabled during suspend was introduced by "eeepc-laptop: read rfkill soft-blocked state on resume". Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference Process s2disk Tainted: G W IP: klist_put Call trace: ? klist_del ? device_del ? device_unregister ? pci_stop_dev ? pci_stop_bus ? pci_remove_device ? eeepc_rfkill_hotplug [eeepc_laptop] ? eeepc_hotk_resume [eeepc_laptop] ? acpi_device_resume ? device_resume ? hibernation_snapshot It appears the PCI device is removed twice. The eeepc_rfkill_hotplug() call from the resume handler is racing against the call from the ACPI notifier callback. The ACPI notification is triggered by the resume handler when it refreshes the value of CM_ASL_WLAN. The fix is to serialize hotplug calls using a workqueue. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13825Signed-off-by: Alan Jenkins <alan-jenkins@tuffmail.co.uk> Acked-by: Corentin Chary <corentin.chary@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

On some machines, a software-initiated SMI causes corruption unless the SMI runs on CPU 0. An SMI can be initiated by any AML, but typically it's done in GPE-related methods that are run via workqueues, so we can avoid the known corruption cases by binding the workqueues to CPU 0.

HBRV-based default selection of backlight control strategy didn't work well, at least the X41 defines it but doesn't use it and I don't think it will stop there. Switch to a white/blacklist. All models that have HBRV defined have been included in the list, and initially all ATI GPUs will get ECNVRAM, and the Intel GPUs will get UCMS_STEP. Symptoms of incorrect backlight mode selection are: 1. Non-working backlight control through sysfs; 2. Backlight gets reset to the lowest level at every shutdown, reboot and when thinkpad-acpi gets unloaded; This fixes a regression in 2.6.30, bugzilla #13826 Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Reported-by: Tobias Diedrich <ranma+kernel@tdiedrich.de> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

The standard ACPI dock driver can handle the hotplug bays and docks of the ThinkPads just fine (including batteries) as of 2.6.27, and the code in thinkpad-acpi for the dock and bay subdrivers is currently broken anyway... Userspace needs some love to support the two-stage ejection nicely, but it is simple enough to do through udev rules (you don't even need HAL) so this wouldn't justify fixing the dock and bay subdrivers, either. That leaves warm-swap bays (_EJ3) support for thinkpad-acpi, as well as support for the weird dock of the model 570, but since such support has never left the "experimental" stage, it is also not a strong enough reason to find a way to fix this code. Users of ThinkPads with warm-swap bays are urged to request that _EJ3 support be added to the regular ACPI dock driver, if such feature is indeed useful for them.

Currently, the ThinkPad-ACPI bay and dock drivers are completely broken, and cause a NULL pointer derreference in kernel mode (and, therefore, an OOPS) when they try to issue events (i.e. on dock, undock, bay ejection, etc). OTOH, the standard ACPI dock driver can handle the hotplug bays and docks of the ThinkPads just fine (including batteries) as of 2.6.27. In fact, it does a much better job of it than thinkpad-acpi ever did. It is just not worth the hassle to find a way to fix this crap without breaking the (deprecated) thinkpad-acpi dock/bay ABI. This is old, deprecated code that sees little testing or use. As a quick fix suitable for -stable backports, mark the thinkpad-acpi bay and dock subdrivers as BROKEN in Kconfig. The dead code will be removed by a later patch. This fixes bugzilla #13669, and should be applied to 2.6.27 and later.

The previous commit ("do_sigaltstack: avoid copying 'stack_t' as a structure to user space") fixed a real bug. This one just cleans up the copy from user space to that gcc can generate better code for it (and so that it looks the same as the later copy back to user space).

Ulrich Drepper correctly points out that there is generally padding in the structure on 64-bit hosts, and that copying the structure from kernel to user space can leak information from the kernel stack in those padding bytes. Avoid the whole issue by just copying the three members one by one instead, which also means that the function also can avoid the need for a stack frame. This also happens to match how we copy the new structure from user space, so it all even makes sense. [ The obvious solution of adding a memset() generates horrid code, gcc does really stupid things. ] Reported-by: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
