ptrace_{get,set}_watch_regs access current_cpu_data to get the watch register count/masks, which calls smp_processor_id(). However they are run in preemptible context and therefore trigger warnings like so: [ 6340.092000] BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: gdb/367 [ 6340.092000] caller is ptrace_get_watch_regs+0x44/0x220 Since the watch register count/masks should be the same across all CPUs, use boot_cpu_data instead. Note that this may need to change in future should a heterogenous system be supported where the count/masks are not the same across all CPUs (the current code is also incorrect for this scenario - current_cpu_data here would not necessarily be correct for the CPU that the target task will execute on).

The parent field of the 'rc32434_res_pci_mem1' resource points to the resource itself which is obviously wrong. Due to the broken initialitazion, the PCI devices on the Mikrotik RB532 boards are not working since commit 22283178 (MIPS: avoid possible resource conflict in register_pci_controller). Remove the field initialization to fix the issue.

If the 'memsize' environmental variable is not set by the bootloader the 'memsize' variable is not initialized, leading to potential memory problems.

The attached change significantly improves the performance of the LWS-CAS code in syscall.S. This allows a number of packages to build (e.g., zeromq3, gtest and libxs) that previously failed because slow LWS-CAS performance under contention. In particular, interrupts taken while the lock was taken degraded performance significantly. The change does the following: 1) Disables interrupts around the CAS operation, and 2) Changes the loads and stores to use the ordered completer, "o", on PA 2.0. "o" and "ma" with a zero offset are equivalent. The latter is accepted on both PA 1.X and 2.0. The use of ordered loads and stores probably makes no difference on all existing hardware, but it seemed pedantically correct. In particular, the CAS operation must complete before LDCW lock is released. As written before, a processor could reorder the operations. I don't believe the period interrupts are disabled is long enough to significantly increase interrupt latency. For example, the TLB insert code is longer. Worst case is a memory fault in the CAS operation. Signed-off-by: John David Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.13+ Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

On SNB the BIOS provided WM memory latency values seem insufficient to handle high resolution displays. In this particular case the display mode was a 2560x1440@60Hz, which makes the pixel clock 241.5 MHz. It was empirically found that a memory latency value if 1.2 usec is enough to avoid underruns, whereas the BIOS provided value of 0.7 usec was clearly too low. Incidentally 1.2 usec is what the typical BIOS provided values are on IVB systems. Increase the WM memory latency values to at least 1.2 usec on SNB. Hopefully this won't have a significant effect on power consumption. v2: Increase the latency values regardless of the pixel clock Cc: Robert N <crshman@gmail.com> Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70254Tested-by: Robert Navarro <crshman@gmail.com> Tested-by: Vitaly Minko <vitaly.minko@gmail.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>

When we set backlight on behalf of ACPI opregion, we will convert the backlight value in the 0-255 range defined in opregion to the actual hardware level. Commit 22505b82 (drm/i915: avoid brightness overflow when doing scale) is meant to fix the overflow problem when doing the conversion, but it also caused a problem that the converted hardware level doesn't quite represent the intended value: say user wants maximum backlight level(255 in opregion's range), then we will calculate the actual hardware level to be: level = freq / max * level, where freq is the hardware's max backlight level(937 on an user's box), and max and level are all 255. The converted value should be 937 but the above calculation will yield 765. To fix this issue, just use 64 bits to do the calculation to keep the precision and avoid overflow at the same time.

There are certain BDW high res eDP machines that regressed due to commit 38aecea0 Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Date: Mon Mar 3 11:18:10 2014 +0100 drm/i915: reverse dp link param selection, prefer fast over wide again The commit lead to 2 lanes at 5.4 Gbps being used instead of 4 lanes at 2.7 Gbps on the affected machines. Link training succeeded for both, but the screen remained blank with the former config. Further investigation showed that 4 lanes at 5.4 Gbps worked also. The root cause for the blank screen using 2 lanes remains unknown, but apparently the driver for a certain other operating system by default uses the max available lanes. Follow suit on Broadwell eDP, for at least until we figure out what is going on.

Checkin: b3b42ac2 x86-64, modify_ldt: Ban 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels disabled 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels due to an information leak. However, it does seem that people are genuinely using Wine to run old 16-bit Windows programs on Linux. A proper fix for this ("espfix64") is coming in the upcoming merge window, but as a temporary fix, create a sysctl to allow the administrator to re-enable support for 16-bit segments. It adds a "/proc/sys/abi/ldt16" sysctl that defaults to zero (off). If you hit this issue and care about your old Windows program more than you care about a kernel stack address information leak, you can do echo 1 > /proc/sys/abi/ldt16 as root (add it to your startup scripts), and you should be ok. The sysctl table is only added if you have COMPAT support enabled on x86-64, but I assume anybody who runs old windows binaries very much does that ;) Signed-off-by: H.

Meta overrode _STK_LIM_MAX (the default RLIMIT_STACK hard limit) to 256MB, apparently in an attempt to prevent setup_arg_pages's STACK_GROWSUP code from choosing the maximum stack size of 1GB, which is far too large for Meta's limited virtual address space and hits a BUG_ON (stack_top is usually 0x3ffff000). However the commit "metag: Reduce maximum stack size to 256MB" reduces the absolute stack size limit to a safe value for metag. This allows the default _STK_LIM_MAX override to be removed, bringing the default behaviour in line with all other architectures. Parisc in particular recently removed their override of _STK_LIMT_MAX in commit e0d8898d (parisc: remove _STK_LIM_MAX override) since it subtly affects stack allocation semantics in userland. Meta's uapi/asm/resource.h can now be removed and switch to using generic-y.

On those do not hardcode the maximum initial stack size to 1GB for 32-bit processes, but make it configurable via a config option. The main problem with the hardcoded stack size is, that we have two memory regions which grow upwards: stack and heap. To keep most of the memory available for heap in a flexmap memory layout, it makes no sense to hard allocate up to 1GB of the memory for stack which can't be used as heap then. This patch makes the stack size for 32-bit processes configurable and uses 80MB as default value which has been in use during the last few years on parisc and which hasn't showed any problems yet.

Specify the maximum stack size for arches where the stack grows upward (parisc and metag) in asm/processor.h rather than hard coding in fs/exec.c so that metag can specify a smaller value of 256MB rather than 1GB. This fixes a BUG on metag if the RLIMIT_STACK hard limit is increased beyond a safe value by root. E.g. when starting a process after running "ulimit -H -s unlimited" it will then attempt to use a stack size of the maximum 1GB which is far too big for metag's limited user virtual address space (stack_top is usually 0x3ffff000): BUG: failure at fs/exec.c:589/shift_arg_pages()!

Volatile access doesn't really imply the compiler barrier. Volatile access is only ordered with respect to other volatile accesses, it isn't ordered with respect to general memory accesses. Gcc may reorder memory accesses around volatile access, as we can see in this simple example (if we compile it with optimization, both increments of *b will be collapsed to just one): void fn(volatile int *a, long *b) { (*b)++; *a = 10; (*b)++; } Consequently, we need the compiler barrier after a write to the volatile variable, to make sure that the compiler doesn't reorder the volatile write with something else.

Commit f4ae17aa [MIPS: mm: Use scratch for PGD when !CONFIG_MIPS_PGD_C0_CONTEXT] broke microMIPS kernel builds.

Merge tag 'asoc-v3.15-rc5-intel' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound into for-linus ASoC: Intel fixes for v3.15 This is a relatively large batch of fixes for the newly added Haswell/Baytrail drivers from Intel. It's a bit larger than is good for this point in the cycle but it's all for a newly added driver so not so worrying as it might otherwise be. Some of it's integration problems, some of it's the sort of problem usually turned up in stress tests.

Merge tag 'asoc-v3.15-rc5-core' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound into for-linus ASoC: Core fixes for v3.15 A few things here: - Fix the creation of spurious CODEC<->CODEC links which caused DAPM to have audio paths which shouldn't be present causing spurious powerups and potential audible issues for users. - Ensure the suspend->off transition doesn't have spurious transitions to prepare added to the sequence. - Fix incorrect skipping of PCM suspension for active audio streams. - Remove Timur Tabi from the CS4270 maintainers, Cirrus are now doing this and Timur no longer has the boards that he was using.
