53e173f62c [PATCH] ARM: 2660/2: fix ixdp2800 boot and pci init
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

The IXDP2800 is an evalution platform for the IXP2800 processor that
has two IXP2800s connected to the same PCI bus.  This is problematic
as both CPUs will try to configure the PCI bus as they boot linux.
Contrary to on the other IXP2000 platforms, the boot loader on the
IXDP2800 doesn't configure the PCI bus properly, so we do want the
linux instance on one of the CPUs to do that.
Making one of the CPUs ignore the PCI bus (and thus act like a pure
PCI slave device) is not an option because there is a 82559 NIC on
the PCI bus for each of the CPUs.
The chosen solution is to have the master CPU configure the PCI bus
while the slave is kept in a quiescent state, and then to have the
slave CPU scan the PCI bus (without assigning resources) while the
master is kept in a quiescent state.  After this ritual, the master
deletes the slave NIC from its PCI device list, the slave deletes
the master NIC from its device list, and (almost) all is well.
There's still one little problem: each of the CPUs has a 1G SDRAM
BAR, but the IXP2000 only has 512M of outbound PCI memory window.
We solve this by hand-assigning the master and slave SDRAM BARs to
a location outside each of the IXP's outbound PCI windows, and by
having the rest of the BARs autoconfigured in the outbound PCI
windows, in the range [e0000000..ffffffff], so that there is a 1:1
pci:phys mapping between them.
Even with this patch, a number of issues still remain -- just imagine
what happens if one of the CPUs is rebooted, by watchdog or by hand,
but the other one isn't.  But those issues are not easily fixable
given the strange PCI layout of this board and the behavior of the
boot loader shipped with the platform.

ca315159df [PATCH] ARM: 2656/1: Access permission bits are wrong for kernel XIP sections on ARMv6
Patch from George G. Davis

This patch is required for kernel XIP support on ARMv6 machines.  It ensures that the access permission bits for kernel XIP section descriptors are APX=1 and AP[1:0]=01, which is Kernel read-only/User no access permissions.  Prior to this change, kernel XIP section descriptor access permissions were set to Kernel no access/User no access on ARMv6 machines and the kernel would therefore hang upon entry to userspace when set_fs(USER_DS) was executed.

2d2669b629 [PATCH] ARM: 2651/3: kernel helpers for NPTL support
Patch from Nicolas Pitre

This patch entirely reworks the kernel assistance for NPTL on ARM.
In particular this provides an efficient way to retrieve the TLS
value and perform atomic operations without any instruction emulation
nor special system call.  This even allows for pre ARMv6 binaries to
be forward compatible with SMP systems without any penalty.
The problematic and performance critical operations are performed
through segment of kernel provided user code reachable from user space
at a fixed address in kernel memory.  Those fixed entry points are
within the vector page so we basically get it for free as no extra
memory page is required and nothing else may be mapped at that
location anyway.
This is different from (but doesn't preclude) a full blown VDSO
implementation, however a VDSO would prevent some assembly tricks with
constants that allows for efficient branching to those code segments.
And since those code segments only use a few cycles before returning to
user code, the overhead of a VDSO far call would add a significant
overhead to such minimalistic operations.
The ARM_NR_set_tls syscall also changed number.  This is done for two
reasons:
1) this patch changes the way the TLS value was previously meant to be
   retrieved, therefore we ensure whatever library using the old way
   gets fixed (they only exist in private tree at the moment since the
   NPTL work is still progressing).
2) the previous number was allocated in a range causing an undefined
   instruction trap on kernels not supporting that syscall and it was
   determined that allocating it in a range returning -ENOSYS would be
   much nicer for libraries trying to determine if the feature is
   present or not.

3a1e501511 [PATCH] ARM: 2655/1: ARM1136 SWP instruction abort handler fix
Patch from George G. Davis

As noted in http://www.arm.com/linux/patch-2.6.9-arm1.gz, the "Faulty SWP instruction on 1136 doesn't set bit 11 in DFSR." So the v6_early_abort handler does not report the correct rd/wr direction for the SWP instruction which may result in SEGVS or hangs. In order to work around this problem, this patch merely updates the fix contained in the ARM Ltd. patch to use the macroised abort handler fixups.

458a83fa43 [PATCH] ARM: 2659/1: do not assign PCI I/O address zero on IXP2000
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

Assigning the address zero to a PCI device BAR causes some part of the
PCI subsystem to believe that resource allocation for that BAR failed
due to resource conflicts, which will make attempts to enable the
device fail.  Work around this by assigning I/O addresses starting
from 00010000.
While we're at it, make the PCI I/O resource end at 0001ffff, since we
only have 64k of outbound I/O window on the IXP2000, and we don't do
bank switching.

ae36bf5861 [PATCH] ARM: 2658/1: start ixp2000 pci memory resource at 0xe0000000
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

On the IXDP2800, the bootloader does an awful job of configuring
the PCI bus, so we make linux reconfigure everything.  Having a 1:1
pci:phys address mapping generally simplifies everything, so try to
allocate PCI addresses from the [e0000000..ffffffff] range, which is
the physical address range of the outbound PCI window on the IXP2000.
This does not affect any of the other IXP2000 platforms since they
all use their bootloader's PCI resource assignment.

This makes a trap on the 'iret' that returns us to user space
cause a nice clean SIGSEGV, instead of just a hard (and silent)

This loses the error code, but tells the debugger what happened
with ILL_BADSTK in the siginfo.

[IA64] fix ia64 Kconfig to allow CONFIG_PM on sn2

This probably should have been fixed when I fixed up the generic build for
discontig+numa machines, but oh well.

CONFIG_PM is allowable for generic builds but not for sn2 builds, which
doesn't make much sense, and in fact breaks the build if recent ACPI bits are
added to the tree.  It looks like the only arch that needs to prevent
CONFIG_PM stuff is the ski simulator (though those options could probably use
some cleanup as well), so remove the big conditional and replace it with a
simple test for IA64_HP_SIM instead.

24eeb568ae [IA64] vector sharing (Large I/O system support)
Current ia64 linux cannot handle greater than 184 interrupt sources
because of the lack of vectors. The following patch enables ia64 linux
to handle greater than 184 interrupt sources by allowing the same
vector number to be shared by multiple IOSAPIC's RTEs. The design of
this patch is besed on "Intel(R) Itanium(R) Processor Family Interrupt
Architecture Guide".

Even if you don't have a large I/O system, you can see the behavior of
vector sharing by changing IOSAPIC_LAST_DEVICE_VECTOR to fewer value.

  [IA64] Improve ia64_leave_syscall() for McKinley-type cores.

  Optimize ia64_leave_syscall() a bit better for McKinley-type cores.
  The patch looks big, but that's mostly due to renaming r16/r17 to r2/r3.
  Good for a 13 cycle improvement.

The problem is that the size of the physical stacked registers was
loaded into the wrong register (r3 instead of r17).  Since r17 by
coincidence always had the value 1, this had the effect of turning
rse_clear_invalid into a no-op.  That poses the risk of leaking kernel
state back to user-land and is hence not acceptable.

The fix below is simple, but unfortunately it costs us about 28 cycles
in syscall overhead. ;-(

Unfortunately, there isn't much we can do about that since those
registers have to be cleared one way or another.

a lock ordering problem that could have potentially deadlocked with the
order the locks are grabbed in sba_unmap_single().  I moved the resource
locking into sba_search_bitmap() to prevent this.  Finally, there's a
potential race between unmapping pdir entries and marking incoming DMA
pages clean.  If you see any oddities, please let me know, but I've
tested it pretty thoroughly here.  Tony, please apply.  Thanks,

fde740e4dd [IA64] Percpu quicklist for combined allocator for pgd/pmd/pte.
This patch introduces using the quicklists for pgd, pmd, and pte levels
by combining the alloc and free functions into a common set of routines.
This greatly simplifies the reading of this header file.

This patch is simple but necessary for large numa configurations.
It simply ensures that only pages from the local node are added to a
cpus quicklist.  This prevents the trapping of pages on a remote nodes
quicklist by starting a process, touching a large number of pages to
fill pmd and pte entries, migrating to another node, and then unmapping
or exiting.  With those conditions, the pages get trapped and if the
machine has more than 100 nodes of the same size, the calculation of
the pgtable high water mark will be larger than any single node so page
table cache flushing will never occur.

I ran lmbench lat_proc fork and lat_proc exec on a zx1 with and without
this patch and did not notice any change.

On an sn2 machine, there was a slight improvement which is possibly
due to pages from other nodes trapped on the test node before starting
the run.  I did not investigate further.

This patch shrinks the quicklist based upon free memory on the node
instead of the high/low water marks.  I have written it to enable
preemption periodically and recalculate the amount to shrink every time
we have freed enough pages that the quicklist size should have grown.
I rescan the nodes zones each pass because other processess may be
draining node memory at the same time as we are adding.

ia64_sn_power_down() is a function already present (but not

  using PFM_DEBUG.

- remove unused pfm_debug_var variable

- fix a bug in pfm_handle_work where an BUG_ON() could
  be triggered. There is a path where pfm_handle_work()
  can be called with interrupts enabled, i.e., when
  TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set. The fix correct the masking
  and unmasking of interrupts in pfm_handle_work() such
  that we restore the interrupt mask as it was upon entry.

30325d1771 [IA64] speed up syscall path a bit more
Recently I noticed that clearing ar.ssd/ar.csd right before srlz.d is
causing significant stalling in the syscall path.  The patch below
fixes that by moving the register-writes after srlz.d.  On a Madison,
this drops break-based getpid() from 241 to 226 cycles (-15 cycles).

e8d1cb2f28 [IA64] Tighten up unw_unwind_to_user check
Detect user space by the unwind frame with predicate PRED_USER_STACK
set, instead of a user space IP.  Tighten up the last ditch check for
running off the top of the kernel stack.

Based on a suggestion by David Mosberger, reworked to fit the current
tree.  This survives my stress test which used to break 2.6.9 kernels.
Unlike 2.6.11, the stress test now unwinds to the correct point, so
gdb can get the user space registers.
