powerpc/pseries/hvconsole: Fix dropped console output

2011-08-05T04:58:41+00:00

commit 51d33021425e1f905beb4208823146f2fb6517da upstream.

Return -EAGAIN when we get H_BUSY back from the hypervisor. This
makes the hvc console driver retry, avoiding dropped printks.

irq_work, alpha: Fix up arch hooks

2011-08-05T04:58:37+00:00

commit 0f933625e7b6c3d91878ae95e341bf1984db7eaf upstream.

Commit e360adbe29 ("irq_work: Add generic hardirq context
callbacks") fouled up the Alpha bit, not properly naming the
arch specific function that raises the 'self-IPI'.

powerpc/kdump: Fix timeout in crash_kexec_wait_realmode

2011-08-05T04:58:37+00:00

commit 63f21a56f1cc0b800a4c00349c59448f82473d19 upstream.

The existing code it pretty ugly.  How about we clean it up even more
like this?

From: Anton Blanchard 

We check for timeout expiry in the outer loop, but we also need to
check it in the inner loop or we can lock up forever waiting for a
CPU to hit real mode.

oprofile, x86: Fix nmi-unsafe callgraph support

2011-08-05T04:58:37+00:00

commit a0e3e70243f5b270bc3eca718f0a9fa5e6b8262e upstream.

Current oprofile's x86 callgraph support may trigger page faults
throwing the BUG_ON(in_nmi()) message below. This patch fixes this by
using the same nmi-safe copy-from-user code as in perf.

kexec, x86: Fix incorrect jump back address if not preserving context

2011-08-05T04:58:37+00:00

commit 050438ed5a05b25cdf287f5691e56a58c2606997 upstream.

In kexec jump support, jump back address passed to the kexeced
kernel via function calling ABI, that is, the function call
return address is the jump back entry.

Furthermore, jump back entry == 0 should be used to signal that
the jump back or preserve context is not enabled in the original
kernel.

But in the current implementation the stack position used for
function call return address is not cleared context
preservation is disabled. The patch fixes this bug.

x86, intel, power: Initialize MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS

2011-08-05T04:58:35+00:00

commit abe48b108247e9b90b4c6739662a2e5c765ed114 upstream.

Since 2.6.36 (23016bf0d25), Linux prints the existence of "epb" in /proc/cpuinfo,
Since 2.6.38 (d5532ee7b40), the x86_energy_perf_policy(8) utility has
been available in-tree to update MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS.

However, the typical BIOS fails to initialize the MSR, presumably
because this is handled by high-volume shrink-wrap operating systems...

Linux distros, on the other hand, do not yet invoke x86_energy_perf_policy(8).
As a result, WSM-EP, SNB, and later hardware from Intel will run in its
default hardware power-on state (performance), which assumes that users
care for performance at all costs and not for energy efficiency.
While that is fine for performance benchmarks, the hardware's intended default
operating point is "normal" mode...

Initialize the MSR to the "normal" by default during kernel boot.

x86_energy_perf_policy(8) is available to change the default after boot,
should the user have a different preference.

commit 6c7b3ea52e345ab614edb91d3f0e9f3bb3713871 upstream.

While in sleep mode the CS# and other V3020 RTC GPIOs must be driven
high, otherwise V3020 RTC fails to keep the right time in sleep mode.
