Quite a few ASUS computers experience a nasty problem, related to the EHCI controllers, when going into system suspend. It was observed that the problem didn't occur if the controllers were not put into the D3 power state before starting the suspend, and commit 151b6128 (USB: EHCI: fix crash during suspend on ASUS computers) was created to do this. It turned out this approach messed up other computers that didn't have the problem -- it prevented USB wakeup from working. Consequently commit c2fb8a3f (USB: add NO_D3_DURING_SLEEP flag and revert 151b6128) was merged; it reverted the earlier commit and added a whitelist of known good board names. Now we know the actual cause of the problem. Thanks to AceLan Kao for tracking it down. According to him, an engineer at ASUS explained that some of their BIOSes contain a bug that was added in an attempt to work around a problem in early versions of Windows. When the computer goes into S3 suspend, the BIOS tries to verify that the EHCI controllers were first quiesced by the OS. Nothing's wrong with this, but the BIOS does it by checking that the PCI COMMAND registers contain 0 without checking the controllers' power state. If the register isn't 0, the BIOS assumes the controller needs to be quiesced and tries to do so. This involves making various MMIO accesses to the controller, which don't work very well if the controller is already in D3. The end result is a system hang or memory corruption. Since the value in the PCI COMMAND register doesn't matter once the controller has been suspended, and since the value will be restored anyway when the controller is resumed, we can work around the BIOS bug simply by setting the register to 0 during system suspend. This patch (as1590) does so and also reverts the second commit mentioned above, which is now unnecessary. In theory we could do this for every PCI device. However to avoid introducing new problems, the patch restricts itself to EHCI host controllers. Finally the affected systems can suspend with USB wakeup working properly.

The Microsoft LifeChat 3000 USB headset was causing a very reproducible hang whenever it was plugged in. At first, I thought the host controller was producing bad transfer events, because the log was filled with errors like: xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: ERROR Transfer event TRB DMA ptr not part of current TD However, it turned out to be an xHCI driver bug in the ring expansion patches. The bug is triggered When there are two ring segments, and a TD that ends just before a link TRB, like so: ______________ _____________ | | ---> | setup TRB B | ______________ | _____________ | | | | data TRB B | ______________ | _____________ | setup TRB A | <-- deq | | data TRB B | ______________ | _____________ | data TRB A | | | | <-- enq, deq'' ______________ | _____________ | status TRB A | | | | ______________ | _____________ | link TRB |--------------- | link TRB | _____________ <--- deq' _____________ TD A (the first control transfer) stalls on the data phase. That halts the ring. The xHCI driver moves the hardware dequeue pointer to the first TRB after the stalled transfer, which happens to be the link TRB. Once the Set TR dequeue pointer command completes, the function update_ring_for_set_deq_completion runs. That function is supposed to update the xHCI driver's dequeue pointer to match the internal hardware dequeue pointer. On the first call this would work fine, and the software dequeue pointer would move to deq'. However, if the transfer immediately after that stalled (TD B in this case), another Set TR Dequeue command would be issued. That would move the hardware dequeue pointer to deq''. Once that command completed, update_ring_for_set_deq_completion would run again. The original code would unconditionally increment the software dequeue pointer, which moved the pointer off the ring segment into la-la-land. The while loop would happy increment the dequeue pointer (possibly wrapping it) until it matched the hardware pointer value. The while loop would also access all the memory in between the first ring segment and the second ring segment to determine if it was a link TRB. This could cause general protection faults, although it was unlikely because the ring segments came from a DMA pool, and would often have consecutive memory addresses. If nothing in that space looked like a link TRB, the deq_seg pointer for the ring would remain on the first segment. Thus, the deq_seg and the software dequeue pointer would get out of sync. When the next transfer event came in after the stalled transfer, the xHCI driver code would attempt to convert the software dequeue pointer into a DMA address in order to compare the DMA address for the completed transfer. Since the deq_seg and the dequeue pointer were out of sync, xhci_trb_virt_to_dma would return NULL. The transfer event would get ignored, the transfer would eventually timeout, and we would mistakenly convert the finished transfer to no-op TRBs. Some kernel driver (maybe xHCI?) would then get stuck in an infinite loop in interrupt context, and the whole machine would hang. This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 3.4, that contain the commit b008df60 "xHCI: count free TRBs on transfer ring" Signed-off-by: Sarah Sharp <sarah.a.sharp@linux.intel.com> Cc: Andiry Xu <andiry.xu@amd.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

The host controller port status register supports CAS (Cold Attach Status) bit. This bit could be set when USB3.0 device is connected when system is in Sx state. When the system wakes to S0 this port status with CAS bit is reported and this port can't be used by any device. When CAS bit is set the port should be reset by warm reset. This was not supported by xhci driver. The issue was found when pendrive was connected to suspended platform. The link state of "Compliance Mode" was reported together with CAS bit. This link state was also not supported by xhci and core/hub.c. The CAS bit is defined only for xhci root hub port and it is not supported on regular hubs. The link status is used to force warm reset on port. Make the USB core issue a warm reset when port is in ether the 'inactive' or 'compliance mode'. Change the xHCI driver to report 'compliance mode' when the CAS is set. This force warm reset on the root hub port. This patch should be backported to stable kernels as old as 3.2, that contain the commit 10d674a8 "USB: When hot reset for USB3 fails, try warm reset."

The acpi_pad driver can get stuck in destroy_power_saving_task() waiting for kthread_stop() to stop a power_saving thread. The problem is that the isolated_cpus_lock mutex is owned when destroy_power_saving_task() calls kthread_stop(), which waits for a power_saving thread to end, and the power_saving thread tries to acquire the isolated_cpus_lock when it calls round_robin_cpu(). This patch fixes the issue by making round_robin_cpu() use its own mutex. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42981 Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Stuart Hayes <Stuart_Hayes@Dell.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

Continuation lines are buffered internally, intended to merge the chunked printk()s into a single record, and to isolate potentially racy continuation users from usual terminated line users. This though, has the effect that partial lines are not printed to the console in the moment they are emitted. In case the kernel crashes in the meantime, the potentially interesting printed information would never reach the consoles. Here we share the continuation buffer with the console copy logic, and partial lines are always immediately flushed to the available consoles. They are still buffered internally to improve the readability and integrity of the messages and minimize the amount of needed record headers to store.

Commit f948501b ("Make hard_irq_disable() actually hard-disable interrupts") caused check_and_cede_processor to stop working. ->irq_happened will never be zero right after a hard_irq_disable so the compiler removes the call to cede_processor completely. The bug was introduced back in the lazy interrupt handling rework of 3.4 but was hidden until recently because hard_irq_disable did nothing. This issue will eventually appear in 3.4 stable since the hard_irq_disable fix is marked stable, so mark this one for stable too.

As I was adding code that affects all archs, I started testing function tracer against PPC64 and found that it currently locks up with 3.4 kernel. I figured it was due to tracing a function that shouldn't be, so I went through the following process to bisect to find the culprit: cat /debug/tracing/available_filter_functions > t num=`wc -l t` sed -ne "1,${num}p" t > t1 let num=num+1 sed -ne "${num},$p" t > t2 cat t1 > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter echo function /debug/tracing/current_tracer <failed? bisect t1, if not bisect t2> It finally came down to this function: restore_interrupts() I'm not sure why this locks up the system. It just seems to prevent scheduling from occurring. Interrupts seem to still work, as I can ping the box. But all user processes freeze. When restore_interrupts() is not traced, function tracing works fine.

This patches tries to fix a couple of Section mismatch warnings like following one: WARNING: arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x2923c): Section mismatch in reference from the function .prom_query_opal() to the function .init.text:.call_prom() The function .prom_query_opal() references the function __init .call_prom(). This is often because .prom_query_opal lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of .call_prom is wrong.

In entry_64.S version of ret_from_except_lite, you'll notice that in the !preempt case, after we've checked MSR_PR we test for any TIF flag in _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK to decide whether to go to do_work or not. However, in the preempt case, we do a convoluted trick to test SIGPENDING only if PR was set and always test NEED_RESCHED ... but we forget to test any other bit of _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK !!! So that means that with preempt, we completely fail to test for things like single step, syscall tracing, etc... This should be fixed as the following path: - Test PR. If not set, go to resume_kernel, else continue. - If go resume_kernel, to do that original do_work. - If else, then always test for _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK to decide to do that original user_work, else restore directly.

chroma_defconfig currently gives me this with gcc 4.6: arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c:638:13: error: 'dm' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=uninitialized] It's a bogus warning/error since of_get_drconf_memory() only writes it anyway.

If the kernel is big enough (eg. allyesconfig), the linker may need to switch TOCs when calling from the BPF JIT code out to the external helpers (skb_copy_bits() & bpf_internal_load_pointer_neg_helper()). In order to do that we need to leave space after the bl for the linker to insert a reload of our TOC pointer.

In commit 7a879824 we added a wrapper for the WDIOC_GETSTATUS ioctl call. The code results however in a different behaviour: it returns an error if the driver doesn't support the status operation. This is not according to the API that says that when we don't support the status operation, that we just should return a 0 value. Only when the device isn't there anymore, we should return an error.
