Reinstate the null behaviour that the in-kernel gdbstub had for the GDB remote protocol 'p' command (retrieve a single register value) prior to commit 7ca8b9c0 ("frv: extend gdbstub to support more features of gdb"). Before that, the 'p' command just returned an empty reply, which causes gdb to then go and use the 'g' command. However, since that commit, the 'p' command returns an error string, which causes gdb to abort its connection to the target. Not all gdb versions are affected, some use try 'g' first, and if that works, don't bother with 'p', and so don't see the error.

The commit "asm-generic: add NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH to define sg_dma_len()" 18e98307 broke microblaze compilation. dma_direct_map_sg() sets sg->dma_length, however microblaze doesn't set NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH so scatterlist strcutres doesn't include dma_length. sg->dma_length is always equal to sg->length on microblaze. So we don't need to set set dma_length, that is, microblaze can simply use sg->length. Signed-off-by: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Michal Simek <monstr@monstr.eu>

Dave Chinner authored
sync can currently take a really long time if a concurrent writer is extending a file. The problem is that the dirty pages on the address space grow in the same direction as write_cache_pages scans, so if the writer keeps ahead of writeback, the writeback will not terminate until the writer stops adding dirty pages. For a data integrity sync, we only need to write the pages dirty at the time we start the writeback, so we can stop scanning once we get to the page that was at the end of the file at the time the scan started. This will prevent operations like copying a large file preventing sync from completing as it will not write back pages that were dirtied after the sync was started. This does not impact the existing integrity guarantees, as any dirty page (old or new) within the EOF range at the start of the scan will still be captured. This patch will not prevent sync from blocking on large writes into holes. That requires more complex intervention while this patch only addresses the common append-case of this sync holdoff.

If a filesystem writes more than one page in ->writepage, write_cache_pages fails to notice this and continues to attempt writeback when wbc->nr_to_write has gone negative - this trace was captured from XFS: wbc_writeback_start: towrt=1024 wbc_writepage: towrt=1024 wbc_writepage: towrt=0 wbc_writepage: towrt=-1 wbc_writepage: towrt=-5 wbc_writepage: towrt=-21 wbc_writepage: towrt=-85 This has adverse effects on filesystem writeback behaviour. write_cache_pages() needs to terminate after a certain number of pages are written, not after a certain number of calls to ->writepage are made. This is a regression introduced by 17bc6c30 ("vfs: Add no_nrwrite_index_update writeback control flag"), but cannot be reverted directly due to subsequent bug fixes that have gone in on top of it.

When functions incoming parameters are not in input operands list gcc 4.5 does not load the parameters into registers before calling this function but the inline assembly assumes valid addresses inside this function. This breaks the code because r0 and r1 are invalid when execution enters v4wb_copy_user_page () Also the constant needs to be used as third input operand so account for that as well.

When we receive a deauthentication frame before having successfully associated, we neither print a message nor abort assocation. The former makes it hard to debug, while the latter later causes a warning in cfg80211 when, as will typically be the case, association timed out. This warning was reported by many, e.g. in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15981, but I couldn't initially pinpoint it. I verified the fix by hacking hostapd to send a deauth frame instead of an association response.

Nicolas Pitre authored
When CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM is used, the fixmap entry used for a highmem page by kmap_atomic() is always cleared by kunmap_atomic(). This helps find bad usages such as dereferences after the unmap, or overflow into the adjacent fixmap areas. But this debugging aid is completely bypassed when a kmap for the same page already exists as the kmap is reused instead. ON VIVT systems we have no choice but to reuse that kmap due to cache coherency issues, but on non VIVT systems we should always force the fixmap usage when debugging is active.

Frederic reported that frequency driven swevents didn't work properly and even caused a division-by-zero error. It turns out there are two bugs, the division-by-zero comes from a failure to deal with that in perf_calculate_period(). The other was more interesting and turned out to be a wrong comparison in perf_adjust_period(). The comparison was between an s64 and u64 and got implicitly converted to an unsigned comparison. The problem is that period_left is typically < 0, so it ended up being always true. Cure this by making the local period variables s64.

So when we added output polling, we'd suddenly use this code more often, and the fact that it always takes over crtc2 and messes with it during probing isn't what we really want to be happening. A more complete fix would to change it to use whatever crtc was free at the time, but for now lets stay simple and just don't poll if crtc2 is already in use. Although a more correct fix was found I suspect we should do this as well, until we get a chance to readdres the tv out polling issues.
