metag/ptrace: Reject partial NT_METAG_RPIPE writes

2017-03-31T08:31:46+00:00

commit 7195ee3120d878259e8d94a5d9f808116f34d5ea upstream.

It's not clear what behaviour is sensible when doing partial write of
NT_METAG_RPIPE, so just don't bother.

This patch assumes that userspace will never rely on a partial SETREGSET
in this case, since it's not clear what should happen anyway.

metag/ptrace: Provide default TXSTATUS for short NT_PRSTATUS

2017-03-31T08:31:46+00:00

commit 5fe81fe98123ce41265c65e95d34418d30d005d1 upstream.

Ensure that if userspace supplies insufficient data to PTRACE_SETREGSET
to fill TXSTATUS, a well-defined default value is used, based on the
task's current value.

metag/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write

2017-03-31T08:31:46+00:00

commit a78ce80d2c9178351b34d78fec805140c29c193e upstream.

Ensure that if userspace supplies insufficient data to PTRACE_SETREGSET
to fill all the registers, the thread's old registers are preserved.

nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus

2016-10-08T01:46:30+00:00

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative.  Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".

We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.

This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.

dma-mapping: use unsigned long for dma_attrs

2016-08-04T12:50:07+00:00

The dma-mapping core and the implementations do not change the DMA
attributes passed by pointer.  Thus the pointer can point to const data.
However the attributes do not have to be a bitfield.  Instead unsigned
long will do fine:

1. This is just simpler.  Both in terms of reading the code and setting
   attributes.  Instead of initializing local attributes on the stack
   and passing pointer to it to dma_set_attr(), just set the bits.

2. It brings safeness and checking for const correctness because the
   attributes are passed by value.

Merge tag 'devicetree-for-4.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/robh/linux

2016-07-30T18:32:01+00:00

Pull DeviceTree updates from Rob Herring:

 - remove most of_platform_populate() calls in arch code.  Now the DT
   core code calls it in the default case and platforms only need to
   call it if they have special needs

 - use pr_fmt on all the DT core print statements

 - CoreSight binding doc improvements to block name descriptions

 - add dt_to_config script which can parse dts files and list
   corresponding kernel config options

 - fix memory leak hit with a PowerMac DT

 - correct a bunch of STMicro compatible strings to use the correct
   vendor prefix

 - fix DA9052 PMIC binding doc to match what is actually used in dts
   files
