      IPMI/ACPI: Add the IPMI opregion driver to enable ACPI to access BMC controller · e92b297c
      Zhao Yakui authored
      ACPI 4.0 spec adds the ACPI IPMI opregion, which means that the ACPI AML
      code can also communicate with the BMC controller. This is to install
      the ACPI IPMI opregion and enable the ACPI to access the BMC controller
      through the IPMI message.
      
           It will create IPMI user interface for every IPMI device detected
      in ACPI namespace and install the corresponding IPMI opregion space handler.
      Then it can enable ACPI to access the BMC controller through the IPMI
      message.
      
      The following describes how to process the IPMI request in IPMI space handler:
          1. format the IPMI message based on the request in AML code.
          IPMI system address. Now the address type is SYSTEM_INTERFACE_ADDR_TYPE
          IPMI net function & command
          IPMI message payload
          2. send the IPMI message by using the function of ipmi_request_settime
          3. wait for the completion of IPMI message. It can be done in different
      routes: One is in handled in IPMI user recv callback function. Another is
      handled in timeout function.
          4. format the IPMI response and return it to ACPI AML code.
      
      At the same time it also addes the module dependency. The ACPI IPMI opregion
      will depend on the IPMI subsystem.

      IPMI: Add one interface to get more info of low-level IPMI device · 16f4232c
      Zhao Yakui authored
      The IPMI smi_watcher will be used to catch the IPMI interface as they
      come or go.  In order to communicate with the correct IPMI device, it
      should be confirmed whether it is what we wanted especially on the
      system with multiple IPMI devices. But the new_smi callback function
      of smi_watcher provides very limited info(only the interface number
      and dev pointer) and there is no detailed info about the low level
      interface. For example: which mechansim registers the IPMI
      interface(ACPI, PCI, DMI and so on).
      
      This is to add one interface that can get more info of low-level IPMI
      device. For example: the ACPI device handle will be returned for the
      pnp_acpi IPMI device.

      parisc: KittyHawk LCD fix · 79a04296
      Guy Martin authored
      K class aka KittyHawk don't have LED support on their LCD. Installing
      HP-UX confirmed this. The current led_wq fills the LCD with black
      characters each time it runs.
      
      The patch prevents the led_wq workqueue and its proc entry to be
      created for KittyHawk machines.
      
      It also increase min_cmd_delay as currently, one character out of two
      is lost when a string is sent to the LCD.

      parisc: convert the rest of the irq handlers to simple/percpu · 51890613
      James Bottomley authored
      The generic conversion eliminates the spurious no_ack and no_end
      routines, converts all the cascaded handlers to handle_simple_irq() and
      makes iosapic use a modified handle_percpu_irq() to become the same as
      the CPU irq's.  This isn't an essential change, but it eliminates the
      mask/unmask overhead of handle_level_irq().

      parisc: fix dino/gsc interrupts · d16cd297
      James Bottomley authored
      The essential problem we're currently having is that dino (and gsc) is a
      cascaded CPU interrupt.  Under the old __do_IRQ() handler, our CPU
      interrupts basically did an ack followed by an end.  In the new scheme,
      we replaced them with level handlers which do a mask, an ack and then an
      unmask (but no end).  Instead, with the renaming of end to eoi, we
      actually want to call the percpu flow handlers, because they actually
      have all the characteristics we want.
      
      This patch does the conversion and gets my C360 booting again.

      do_exit(): make sure that we run with get_fs() == USER_DS · 33dd94ae
      Nelson Elhage authored
      If a user manages to trigger an oops with fs set to KERNEL_DS, fs is not
      otherwise reset before do_exit().  do_exit may later (via mm_release in
      fork.c) do a put_user to a user-controlled address, potentially allowing
      a user to leverage an oops into a controlled write into kernel memory.
      
      This is only triggerable in the presence of another bug, but this
      potentially turns a lot of DoS bugs into privilege escalations, so it's
      worth fixing.  I have proof-of-concept code which uses this bug along
      with CVE-2010-3849 to write a zero to an arbitrary kernel address, so
      I've tested that this is not theoretical.
      
      A more logical place to put this fix might be when we know an oops has
      occurred, before we call do_exit(), but that would involve changing
      every architecture, in multiple places.
      
      Let's just stick it in do_exit instead.

      But it's a false positive.  Both memory_chain.rwsem and ksm_thread_mutex
      have an outer lock (mem_hotplug_mutex).  So they cannot deadlock.
      
      Thus, This patch annotate ksm_thread_mutex is not deadlock source.
