commit 2a15cd2f upstream. With runtime PM, if the ethernet cable is disconnected, the device is transitioned to D3 state to conserve energy. If the system is shutdown in this state, any register accesses in rtl_shutdown are dropped on the floor. As the device was programmed by .runtime_suspend() to wake on link changes, it is thus brought back up as soon as the link recovers. Resuming every suspended device through the driver core would slow things down and it is not clear how many devices really need it now. Original report and D0 transition patch by Sameer Nanda. Patch has been changed to comply with advices by Rafael J. Wysocki and the PM folks. Reported-by:

commit f47166d2 upstream. Quoting the BSpec from time immemorial: PIPEACONF, bits 28:27: Frame Start Delay (Debug) Used to delay the frame start signal that is sent to the display planes. Care must be taken to insure that there are enough lines during VBLANK to support this setting. An instance of the BIOS leaving these bits set was found in the wild, where it caused our modesetting to go all squiffy and skewiff.

commit 62fb376e upstream. mplayer -vo fbdev tries to create a screen that is twice as tall as the allocated framebuffer for "doublebuffering". By default, and all in-tree users, only sufficient memory is allocated and mapped to satisfy the smallest framebuffer and the virtual size is no larger than the actual. For these users, we should therefore reject any userspace request to create a screen that requires a buffer larger than the framebuffer originally allocated.

commit 643c61e1 upstream. In https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=770207, slowdowns of driver rtl8192ce are reported. One fix (commit a9b89e25) has already been applied, and it helped, but the maximum RX speed would still drop to 1 Mbps. As in the previous fix, the initial gain was determined to be the problem; however, the problem arises from a setting of the gain when scans are started. Driver rtl8192de also has the same code structure - this one is fixed as well. Reported-and-Tested-by:

commit 12b5da34 upstream. When reading the trace file, the records of each of the per_cpu buffers are examined to find the next event to print out. At the point of looking at the event, the size of the event is recorded. But if the first event is chosen, the other events in the other CPU buffers will reset the event size that is stored in the iterator descriptor, causing the event size passed to the output functions to be incorrect. In most cases this is not a problem, but for the case of stack traces, it is. With the change to the stack tracing to record a dynamic number of back traces, the output depends on the size of the entry instead of the fixed 8 back traces. When the entry size is not correct, the back traces would not be fully printed. Note, reading from the per-cpu trace files were not affected. Reported-by:

commit f5cb92ac upstream. irq_move_masked_irq() checks the return code of chip->irq_set_affinity() only for 0, but IRQ_SET_MASK_OK_NOCOPY is also a valid return code, which is there to avoid a redundant copy of the cpumask. But in case of IRQ_SET_MASK_OK_NOCOPY we not only avoid the redundant copy, we also fail to adjust the thread affinity of an eventually threaded interrupt handler. Handle IRQ_SET_MASK_OK (==0) and IRQ_SET_MASK_OK_NOCOPY(==1) return values correctly by checking the valid return values seperately. Signed-off-by:

commit 3e80acd1 upstream. commit 64b3db22 (2.6.39), "Remove use of unreliable FADT revision field" causes regression for old P4 systems because now cst_control and other fields are not reset to 0. The effect is that acpi_processor_power_init will notice cst_control != 0 and a write to CST_CNT register is performed that should not happen. As result, the system oopses after the "No _CST, giving up" message, sometimes in acpi_ns_internalize_name, sometimes in acpi_ns_get_type, usually at random places. May be during migration to CPU 1 in acpi_processor_get_throttling. Every one of these settings help to avoid this problem: - acpi=off - processor.nocst=1 - maxcpus=1 The fix is to update acpi_gbl_FADT.header.length after the original value is used to check for old revisions. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42700 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727865Signed-off-by:

commit 2815ab92 upstream. On Intel CPUs the processor typically uses the highest frequency set by any logical CPU. When the system overheats Linux first forces the frequency to the lowest available one to lower the temperature. However this was done only per logical CPU, which means all logical CPUs in a package would need to go through this before the frequency is actually lowered. Worse this delay actually prevents real throttling, because the real throttle code only proceeds when the lowest frequency is already reached. So when a throttle event happens force the lowest frequency for all CPUs in the package where it happened. The per CPU state is now kept per package, not per logical CPU. An alternative would be to do it per cpufreq unit, but since we want to bring down the temperature of the complete chip it's better to do it for all. In principle it may even make sense to do it for all CPUs, but I kept it on the package for now. With this change the frequency is actually lowered, which in terms also allows real throttling to proceed. I also removed an unnecessary per cpu variable initialization. v2: Fix package mapping Signed-off-by:

commit c9651e70 upstream. Since 3.2.12 and 3.3, some systems are failing to boot with a BUG_ON. Some other systems using the pata_jmicron driver fail to boot because no disks are detected. Passing pcie_aspm=force on the kernel command line works around it. The cause: commit 4949be16 ("PCI: ignore pre-1.1 ASPM quirking when ASPM is disabled") changed the behaviour of pcie_aspm_sanity_check() to always return 0 if aspm is disabled, in order to avoid cases where we changed ASPM state on pre-PCIe 1.1 devices. This skipped the secondary function of pcie_aspm_sanity_check which was to avoid us enabling ASPM on devices that had non-PCIe children, causing trouble later on. Move the aspm_disabled check so we continue to honour that scenario.

commit 49d4bcad upstream. When DMA is enabled, sh-sci transfer begins with uart_start() sci_start_tx() if (cookie_tx < 0) schedule_work() Then, starts DMA when wq scheduled, -- (A) process_one_work() work_fn_rx() cookie_tx = desc->submit_tx() And finishes when DMA transfer ends, -- (B) sci_dma_tx_complete() async_tx_ack() cookie_tx = -EINVAL (possible another schedule_work()) This A to B sequence is not reentrant, since controlling variables (for example, cookie_tx above) are not queues nor lists. So, they must be invoked as A B A B..., otherwise results in kernel crash. To ensure the sequence, sci_start_tx() seems to test if cookie_tx < 0 (represents "not used") to call schedule_work(). But cookie_tx will not be set (to a cookie, also means "used") until in the middle of work queue scheduled function work_fn_tx(). This gap between the test and set allows the breakage of the sequence under the very frequently call of uart_start(). Another gap between async_tx_ack() and another schedule_work() results in the same issue, too. This patch introduces a new condition "cookie_tx == 0" just to mark it is "busy" and assign it within spin-locked region to fill the gaps. Signed-off-by:

commit 4a649903 upstream. Richard Weinberger noticed that on some RTC hardware that doesn't support UIE mode, due to coarse granular alarms (like 1minute resolution), the current virtualized RTC support doesn't properly error out when UIE is enabled. Instead the current code queues an alarm for the next second, but it won't fire until up to a miniute later. This patch provides a generic way to flag this sort of hardware and fixes the issue on the mpc5121 where Richard noticed the problem. Reported-by:

commit 1631fcea upstream. <asm-generic/unistd.h> was set up to use sys_sendfile() for the 32-bit compat API instead of sys_sendfile64(), but in fact the right thing to do is to use sys_sendfile64() in all cases. The 32-bit sendfile64() API in glibc uses the sendfile64 syscall, so it has to be capable of doing full 64-bit operations. But the sys_sendfile() kernel implementation has a MAX_NON_LFS test in it which explicitly limits the offset to 2^32. So, we need to use the sys_sendfile64() implementation in the kernel for this case. Acked-by:

commit 57779dc2 upstream. While running the latest Linux as guest under VMware in highly over-committed situations, we have seen cases when the refined TSC algorithm fails to get a valid tsc_start value in tsc_refine_calibration_work from multiple attempts. As a result the kernel keeps on scheduling the tsc_irqwork task for later. Subsequently after several attempts when it gets a valid start value it goes through the refined calibration and either bails out or uses the new results. Given that the kernel originally read the TSC frequency from the platform, which is the best it can get, I don't think there is much value in refining it. So for systems which get the TSC frequency from the platform we should skip the refined tsc algorithm. We can use the TSC_RELIABLE cpu cap flag to detect this, right now it is set only on VMware and for Moorestown Penwell both of which have there own TSC calibration methods. Signed-off-by:

commit de5b8e8e upstream. If you try to set grace_period or timeout via a module parameter to lockd, and do this on a big-endian machine where sizeof(int) != sizeof(unsigned long) it won't work. This number given will be effectively shifted right by the difference in those two sizes. So cast kp->arg properly to get correct result. Signed-off-by:
