* [POWERPC] Fix atomicity of TIF update in flush_thread()Mathieu Desnoyers2007-03-161-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix atomicity of TIF update in flush_thread() for powerpc Fixes it correctly with *_ti_thread_flag. Race : parent process executing : sys_ptrace() (lock_kernel()) (ptrace_get_task_struct(pid)) arch_ptrace() ptrace_detach() ptrace_disable(child); clear_singlestep(child); clear_tsk_thread_flag(child, TIF_SINGLESTEP); (which clears the TIF_SINGLESTEP flag atomically from a different process) (put_task_struct(child)) (unlock_kernel()) And at the same time, in the child process : sys_execve() do_execve() search_binary_handler() load_elf_binary() flush_old_exec() flush_thread() doing a non-atomic thread flag update Applies on 2.6.20.

* [PATCH] msi: sanely support hardware level msi disablingEric W. Biederman2007-03-051-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In some cases when we are not using msi we need a way to ensure that the hardware does not have an msi capability enabled. Currently the code has been calling disable_msi_mode to try and achieve that. However disable_msi_mode has several other side effects and is only available when msi support is compiled in so it isn't really appropriate. Instead this patch implements pci_msi_off which disables all msi and msix capabilities unconditionally with no additional side effects. pci_disable_device was redundantly clearing the bus master enable flag and clearing the msi enable bit. A device that is not allowed to perform bus mastering operations cannot generate intx or msi interrupt messages as those are essentially a special case of dma, and require bus mastering. So the call in pci_disable_device to disable msi capabilities was redundant. quirk_pcie_pxh also called disable_msi_mode and is updated to use pci_msi_off. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* backlight: Fix external uses of backlight internal semaphoreRichard Purdie2007-02-201-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | backlight_device->sem has a very specific use as documented in the header file. The external users of this are using it for a different reason, to serialise access to the update_status() method. backlight users were supposed to implement their own internal serialisation of update_status() if needed but everyone is doing things differently and incorrectly. Therefore add a global mutex to take care of serialisation for everyone, once and for all. Locking for get_brightness remains optional since most users don't need it. Also update the lcd class in a similar way. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>

* [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctlEric W. Biederman2007-02-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented. I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register duplicate sysctl entries. So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future enhancments harder. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* [POWERPC] Use udbg_early_init() on ppc32David Gibson2007-02-143-6/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | udbg_early_init() is a function used on 64 bit systems, which initializes whichever early udbg backend is configured. This function is not called on 32-bit, however if btext early debug is enabled it does have an explicit, inline, #ifdef-ed assignment performing analagous initialization. This patch makes things more uniform by folding the btext initialization as an option into udbg_early_init() and calling that from the 32-bit setup path.

* [POWERPC] Open Firmware serial port driverArnd Bergmann2007-02-141-0/+15

It will automatically take over devices that come from the legacy serial detection, which usually is only one device. In some cases, rtas may be set up to use the serial port in the firmware, which allows easier debugging before probing the serial ports. In this case, the "used-by-rtas" property must be set by the firmware. This patch also adds code to the legacy serial driver to check for this.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some instruction tracing tools use the RI (recoverable interrupt) bit in the MSR to indicate when it's safe to single-step. Currently we clear RI after restoring r13 when returning to userspace.

| * | [POWERPC] Fix performance monitor exceptionLivio Soares2007-02-071-1/+1

In that patch, the performance monitor unit exception was marked as "maskable", in the sense that if interrupts were soft-disabled, that exception could be ignored. This broke my PowerPC profiling code. The symptom that I see is that a varying number of interrupts (from 0 to $n$, typically closer to 0) get delivered, when, in reality, it should always be very close to $n$. The issue stems from the way masking is being done. Masking in this fashion seems to work well with the decrementer and external interrupts, because they are raised again until "really" handled. For the PMU, however, this does not apply (at least on my Xserver machine with a 970FX processor). If the PMU exception is not handled, it will _not_ be re-raised (at least on my machine). The documentation states that the PMXE bit in MMCR0 is set to 0 when the PMU exception is raised. However, software must re-set the bit to re-enable PMU exceptions. If the exception is ignored (as currently) not only is that interrupt lost, but because software does not re-set PMXE, the PMU registers are "frozen" forever. [This patch means that performance monitor exceptions are taken and handled even if irqs are off, as long as some other interrupt hasn't come along and caused interrupts to be hard-disabled. In this sense the PMU exception becomes like an NMI. The oprofile code for most powerpc processors does nothing that is unsafe in an NMI context, but the Cell oprofile code does a spin_lock_irqsave. However, that turns out to be OK because Cell doesn't actually use the performance monitor exception; performance monitor interrupts come in as a regular interrupt on Cell, so will be disabled when irqs are off. -- paulus.] Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
