2006-03-17[PATCH] x86: check for online cpus before bringing them upSrivatsa Vaddagiri
Bryce reported a bug wherein offlining CPU0 (on x86 box) and then subsequently onlining it resulted in a lockup. On x86, CPU0 is never offlined. The subsequent attempt to online CPU0 doesn't take that into account. It actually tries to bootup the already booted CPU. Following patch fixes the problem (as acknowledged by Bryce). Please consider for inclusion in 2.6.16. Check if cpu is already online.

The dynamic add path for PCI Host Bridges can fail to configure children adapters under P5IOC controllers. It fails to properly fixup bus/device resources, and it fails to properly enable EEH. Both of these steps need to occur before any children devices are enabled in pci_bus_add_devices(). Signed-off-by: John Rose <johnrose@austin.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2006-03-16powerpc: Fix problem with time going backwardsPaul Mackerras
The recent changes to keep gettimeofday in sync with xtime had the side effect that it was occasionally possible for the time reported by gettimeofday to go back by a microsecond. There were two reasons: (1) when we recalculated the offsets used by gettimeofday every 2^31 timebase ticks, we lost an accumulated fractional microsecond, and (2) because the update is done some time after the notional start of jiffy, if ntp is slowing the clock, it is possible to see time go backwards when the timebase factor gets reduced. This fixes it by (a) slowing the gettimeofday clock by about 1us in 2^31 timebase ticks (a factor of less than 1 in 3.7 million), and (b) adjusting the timebase offsets in the rare case that the gettimeofday result could possibly go backwards (i.e. when ntp is slowing the clock and the timer interrupt is late). In this case the adjustment will reduce to zero eventually because of (a). Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2006-03-12[PATCH] x86-64: Fix up handling of non canonical user RIPsAndi Kleen
EM64T CPUs have somewhat weird error reporting for non canonical RIPs in SYSRET. We can't handle any exceptions there because the exception handler would end up running on the user stack which is unsafe. To avoid problems any code that might end up with a user touched pt_regs should return using int_ret_from_syscall. int_ret_from_syscall ends up using IRET, which allows safe exceptions.

2006-03-09[PATCH] s390: Increase spinlock retry code performanceChristian Ehrhardt
Currently the code tries up to spin_retry times to grab a lock using the cs instruction. The cs instruction has exclusive access to a memory region and therefore invalidates the appropiate cache line of all other cpus. If there is contention on a lock this leads to cache line trashing. This can be avoided if we first check wether a cs instruction is likely to succeed before the instruction gets actually executed.

2006-03-08[PATCH] i386: port ATI timer fix from x86_64 to i386 IIAndi Kleen
ATI chipsets tend to generate double timer interrupts for the local APIC timer when both the 8254 and the IO-APIC timer pins are enabled. This is because they route it to both and the result is anded together and the CPU ends up processing it twice. This patch changes check_timer to disable the 8254 routing for interrupt 0. I think it would be safe on all chipsets actually (i tested it on a couple and it worked everywhere) and Windows seems to do it in a similar way, but to be conservative this patch only enables this mode on ATI (and adds options to enable/disable too) Ported over from a similar x86-64 change. I reused the ACPI earlyquirk infrastructure for the ATI bridge check, but tweaked it a bit to work even without ACPI. Inspired by a patch from Chuck Ebbert, but redone.

2006-03-08[IA64] Fix race in the accessed/dirty bit handlersChristoph Lameter
A pte may be zapped by the swapper, exiting process, unmapping or page migration while the accessed or dirty bit handers are about to run. In that case the accessed bit or dirty is set on an zeroed pte which leads the VM to conclude that this is a swap pte. This may lead to - Messages from the vm like swap_free: Bad swap file entry 4000000000000000 - Processes being aborted swap_dup: Bad swap file entry 4000000000000000 VM: killing process .... Page migration is particular suitable for the creation of this race since it needs to remove and restore page table entries. The fix here is to check for the present bit and simply not update the pte if the page is not present anymore. If the page is not present then the fault handler should run next which will take care of the problem by bringing the page back and then mark the page dirty or move it onto the active list.

2006-03-08powerpc: Fix various syscall/signal/swapcontext bugsPaul Mackerras
A careful reading of the recent changes to the system call entry/exit paths revealed several problems, plus some things that could be simplified and improved: * 32-bit wasn't testing the _TIF_NOERROR bit in the syscall fast exit path, so it was only doing anything with it once it saw some other bit being set. In other words, the noerror behaviour would apply to the next system call where we had to reschedule or deliver a signal, which is not necessarily the current system call. * 32-bit wasn't doing the call to ptrace_notify in the syscall exit path when the _TIF_SINGLESTEP bit was set. * _TIF_RESTOREALL was in both _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK and _TIF_PERSYSCALL_MASK, which is odd since _TIF_RESTOREALL is only set by system calls. I took it out of _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK. * On 64-bit, _TIF_RESTOREALL wasn't causing the non-volatile registers to be restored (unless perhaps a signal was delivered or the syscall was traced or single-stepped). Thus the non-volatile registers weren't restored on exit from a signal handler. We probably got away with it mostly because signal handlers written in C wouldn't alter the non-volatile registers. * On 32-bit I simplified the code and made it more like 64-bit by making the syscall exit path jump to ret_from_except to handle preemption and signal delivery. * 32-bit was calling do_signal unnecessarily when _TIF_RESTOREALL was set - but I think because of that 32-bit was actually restoring the non-volatile registers on exit from a signal handler. * I changed the order of enabling interrupts and saving the non-volatile registers before calling do_syscall_trace_leave; now we enable interrupts first.
