Revert 5e3fe67e02c53e5a5fcf0e2b0d91dd93f757d50b which is
commit 2bbf0a1427c377350f001fbc6260995334739ad7 upstream.

Willy pointed out that I messed up and applied this one twice to the
3.0-stable tree, so revert the second instance of it.

Patch for -stable.  Function find_early_table_space removed upstream.

Fixes panic in alloc_low_page due to pgt_buf overflow during
init_memory_mapping.

find_early_table_space sizes pgt_buf based upon the size of the
memory being mapped, but it does not take into account the alignment
of the memory.  When the region being mapped spans a 512GB (PGDIR_SIZE)
alignment, a panic from alloc_low_pages occurs.

kernel_physical_mapping_init takes into account PGDIR_SIZE alignment.
This causes an extra call to alloc_low_page to be made.  This extra call
isn't accounted for by find_early_table_space and causes a kernel panic.

Change is to take into account PGDIR_SIZE alignment in find_early_table_space.

commit 7122beeee7bc1757682049780179d7c216dd1c83 upstream.

The following commit breaks numa distance setup for old powerpc
systems that use form0 encoding in device tree.

commit 41eab6f88f24124df89e38067b3766b7bef06ddb
powerpc/numa: Use form 1 affinity to setup node distance

Device tree node /rtas/ibm,associativity-reference-points would
index into /cpus/PowerPCxxxx/ibm,associativity based on form0 or
form1 encoding detected by ibm,architecture-vec-5 property.

All modern systems use form1 and current kernel code is correct.
However, on older systems with form0 encoding, the numa distance
will get hard coded as LOCAL_DISTANCE for all nodes.  This causes
task scheduling anomaly since scheduler will skip building numa
level domain (topmost domain with all cpus) if all numa distances
are same.  (value of 'level' in sched_init_numa() will remain 0)

Prior to the above commit:
((from) == (to) ? LOCAL_DISTANCE : REMOTE_DISTANCE)

Restoring compatible behavior with this patch for old powerpc systems
with device tree where numa distance are encoded as form0.

commit 4f2e29031e6c67802e7370292dd050fd62f337ee upstream.

Commit b4cbb197c7e7 ("vm: add vm_iomap_memory() helper function") added
a helper function wrapper around io_remap_pfn_range(), and every other
architecture defined it in &lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt;.

The s390 choice of &lt;asm/io.h&gt; may make sense, but is not very convenient
for this case, and gratuitous differences like that cause unexpected errors like this:

   mm/memory.c: In function 'vm_iomap_memory':
   mm/memory.c:2439:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'io_remap_pfn_range' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

Glory be the kbuild test robot who noticed this, bisected it, and
reported it to the guilty parties (ie me).

commit f7b0e1055574ce06ab53391263b4e205bf38daf3 upstream.

With the current implementation, kstat_cpu(cpu).irqs_sum is also
increased in case of irq_mis_count increment.

So there is no need to count irq_mis_count in arch_irq_stat,
otherwise irq_mis_count will be counted twice in the sum of
/proc/stat.

commit de53e9caa4c6149ef4a78c2f83d7f5b655848767 upstream.

The Linux Kernel contains some inline assembly source code which has
wrong asm register constraints in arch/ia64/kvm/vtlb.c.

I observed this on Kernel 3.2.35 but it is also true on the most
recent Kernel 3.9-rc1.

File arch/ia64/kvm/vtlb.c:

u64 guest_vhpt_lookup(u64 iha, u64 *pte)
{
	u64 ret;
	struct thash_data *data;

	data = __vtr_lookup(current_vcpu, iha, D_TLB);
	if (data != NULL)
		thash_vhpt_insert(current_vcpu, data-&gt;page_flags,
			data-&gt;itir, iha, D_TLB);

	asm volatile (
			"rsm psr.ic|psr.i;;"
			"srlz.d;;"
			"ld8.s r9=[%1];;"
			"tnat.nz p6,p7=r9;;"
			"(p6) mov %0=1;"
			"(p6) mov r9=r0;"
			"(p7) extr.u r9=r9,0,53;;"
			"(p7) mov %0=r0;"
			"(p7) st8 [%2]=r9;;"
			"ssm psr.ic;;"
			"srlz.d;;"
			"ssm psr.i;;"
			"srlz.d;;"
			: "=r"(ret) : "r"(iha), "r"(pte):"memory");

	return ret;
}

The list of output registers is
			: "=r"(ret) : "r"(iha), "r"(pte):"memory");
The constraint "=r" means that the GCC has to maintain that these vars
are in registers and contain valid info when the program flow leaves
the assembly block (output registers).
But "=r" also means that GCC can put them in registers that are used
as input registers. Input registers are iha, pte on the example.
If the predicate p7 is true, the 8th assembly instruction
			"(p7) mov %0=r0;"
is the first one which writes to a register which is maintained by the
register constraints; it sets %0. %0 means the first register operand;
it is ret here.
This instruction might overwrite the %2 register (pte) which is needed
by the next instruction:
			"(p7) st8 [%2]=r9;;"
Whether it really happens depends on how GCC decides what registers it
uses and how it optimizes the code.

The attached patch  fixes the register operand constraints in
arch/ia64/kvm/vtlb.c.
The register constraints should be
			: "=&amp;r"(ret) : "r"(iha), "r"(pte):"memory");
The &amp; means that GCC must not use any of the input registers to place
this output register in.

This is Debian bug#702639
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=702639).

The patch is applicable on Kernel 3.9-rc1, 3.2.35 and many other versions.

<title>Wrong asm register contraints in the futex implementation</title>

commit 136f39ddc53db3bcee2befbe323a56d4fbf06da8 upstream.

The Linux Kernel contains some inline assembly source code which has
wrong asm register constraints in arch/ia64/include/asm/futex.h.

I observed this on Kernel 3.2.23 but it is also true on the most
recent Kernel 3.9-rc1.

File arch/ia64/include/asm/futex.h:

static inline int
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(u32 *uval, u32 __user *uaddr,
			      u32 oldval, u32 newval)
{
	if (!access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE, uaddr, sizeof(u32)))
		return -EFAULT;

	{
		register unsigned long r8 __asm ("r8");
		unsigned long prev;
		__asm__ __volatile__(
			"	mf;;					\n"
			"	mov %0=r0				\n"
			"	mov ar.ccv=%4;;				\n"
			"[1:]	cmpxchg4.acq %1=[%2],%3,ar.ccv		\n"
			"	.xdata4 \"__ex_table\", 1b-., 2f-.	\n"
			"[2:]"
			: "=r" (r8), "=r" (prev)
			: "r" (uaddr), "r" (newval),
			  "rO" ((long) (unsigned) oldval)
			: "memory");
		*uval = prev;
		return r8;
	}
}

The list of output registers is
			: "=r" (r8), "=r" (prev)
The constraint "=r" means that the GCC has to maintain that these vars
are in registers and contain valid info when the program flow leaves
the assembly block (output registers).
But "=r" also means that GCC can put them in registers that are used
as input registers. Input registers are uaddr, newval, oldval on the
example.
The second assembly instruction
			"	mov %0=r0				\n"
is the first one which writes to a register; it sets %0 to 0. %0 means
the first register operand; it is r8 here. (The r0 is read-only and
always 0 on the Itanium; it can be used if an immediate zero value is
needed.)
This instruction might overwrite one of the other registers which are
still needed.
Whether it really happens depends on how GCC decides what registers it
uses and how it optimizes the code.

The objdump utility can give us disassembly.
The futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() function is inline, so we have to
look for a module that uses the funtion. This is the
cmpxchg_futex_value_locked() function in
kernel/futex.c:

static int cmpxchg_futex_value_locked(u32 *curval, u32 __user *uaddr,
				      u32 uval, u32 newval)
{
	int ret;

	pagefault_disable();
	ret = futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(curval, uaddr, uval, newval);
	pagefault_enable();

Now the disassembly. At first from the Kernel package 3.2.23 which has
been compiled with GCC 4.4, remeber this Kernel seemed to work:

The line
      2b6:	80 00 00 00 42 00 	            mov r8=r0
sets the r8 register to 0 and after that
      2c0:	0b 00 20 40 2a 04 	[MMI]       mov.m ar.ccv=r8;;
prepares the 'oldvalue' for the cmpxchg but it takes it from r8. This
is wrong.
What happened here is what I explained above: An input register is
overwritten which is still needed.
The register operand constraints in futex.h are wrong.

(The problem doesn't occur when the Kernel is compiled with GCC 4.6.)

The attached patch fixes the register operand constraints in futex.h.
The code after patching of it:

static inline int
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(u32 *uval, u32 __user *uaddr,
			      u32 oldval, u32 newval)
{
	if (!access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE, uaddr, sizeof(u32)))
		return -EFAULT;

	{
		register unsigned long r8 __asm ("r8") = 0;
		unsigned long prev;
		__asm__ __volatile__(
			"	mf;;					\n"
			"	mov ar.ccv=%4;;				\n"
			"[1:]	cmpxchg4.acq %1=[%2],%3,ar.ccv		\n"
			"	.xdata4 \"__ex_table\", 1b-., 2f-.	\n"
			"[2:]"
			: "+r" (r8), "=&amp;r" (prev)
			: "r" (uaddr), "r" (newval),
			  "rO" ((long) (unsigned) oldval)
			: "memory");
		*uval = prev;
		return r8;
	}
}

I also initialized the 'r8' var with the C programming language.
The _asm qualifier on the definition of the 'r8' var forces GCC to use
the r8 processor register for it.
I don't believe that we should use inline assembly for zeroing out a
local variable.
The constraint is
"+r" (r8)
what means that it is both an input register and an output register.
Note that the page fault handler will modify the r8 register which
will be the return value of the function.
The real fix is
"=&amp;r" (prev)
The &amp; means that GCC must not use any of the input registers to place
this output register in.

Patched the Kernel 3.2.23 and compiled it with GCC4.4:

There is a

This is Debian bug#702641

commit 136f39ddc53db3bcee2befbe323a56d4fbf06da8 upstream.

The Linux Kernel contains some inline assembly source code which has
wrong asm register constraints in arch/ia64/include/asm/futex.h.

I observed this on Kernel 3.2.23 but it is also true on the most
recent Kernel 3.9-rc1.

File arch/ia64/include/asm/futex.h:

static inline int
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(u32 *uval, u32 __user *uaddr,
			      u32 oldval, u32 newval)
{
	if (!access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE, uaddr, sizeof(u32)))
		return -EFAULT;

	{
		register unsigned long r8 __asm ("r8");
		unsigned long prev;
		__asm__ __volatile__(
			"	mf;;					\n"
			"	mov %0=r0				\n"
			"	mov ar.ccv=%4;;				\n"
			"[1:]	cmpxchg4.acq %1=[%2],%3,ar.ccv		\n"
			"	.xdata4 \"__ex_table\", 1b-., 2f-.	\n"
			"[2:]"
			: "=r" (r8), "=r" (prev)
			: "r" (uaddr), "r" (newval),
			  "rO" ((long) (unsigned) oldval)
			: "memory");
		*uval = prev;
		return r8;
	}
}

The list of output registers is
			: "=r" (r8), "=r" (prev)
The constraint "=r" means that the GCC has to maintain that these vars
are in registers and contain valid info when the program flow leaves
the assembly block (output registers).
But "=r" also means that GCC can put them in registers that are used
as input registers. Input registers are uaddr, newval, oldval on the
example.
The second assembly instruction
			"	mov %0=r0				\n"
is the first one which writes to a register; it sets %0 to 0. %0 means
the first register operand; it is r8 here. (The r0 is read-only and
always 0 on the Itanium; it can be used if an immediate zero value is
needed.)
This instruction might overwrite one of the other registers which are
still needed.
Whether it really happens depends on how GCC decides what registers it
uses and how it optimizes the code.

The objdump utility can give us disassembly.
The futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() function is inline, so we have to
look for a module that uses the funtion. This is the
cmpxchg_futex_value_locked() function in
kernel/futex.c:

static int cmpxchg_futex_value_locked(u32 *curval, u32 __user *uaddr,
				      u32 uval, u32 newval)
{
	int ret;

	pagefault_disable();
	ret = futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(curval, uaddr, uval, newval);
	pagefault_enable();

	return ret;
}

Now the disassembly. At first from the Kernel package 3.2.23 which has
been compiled with GCC 4.4, remeber this Kernel seemed to work:
objdump -d linux-3.2.23/debian/build/build_ia64_none_mckinley/kernel/futex.o

      2cc:	00 00 04 00       	            nop.i 0x0;;
are the instructions of the assembly block.
The line
      2b6:	80 00 00 00 42 00 	            mov r8=r0
sets the r8 register to 0 and after that
      2c0:	0b 00 20 40 2a 04 	[MMI]       mov.m ar.ccv=r8;;
prepares the 'oldvalue' for the cmpxchg but it takes it from r8. This
is wrong.
What happened here is what I explained above: An input register is
overwritten which is still needed.
The register operand constraints in futex.h are wrong.

(The problem doesn't occur when the Kernel is compiled with GCC 4.6.)

The attached patch fixes the register operand constraints in futex.h.
The code after patching of it:

static inline int
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(u32 *uval, u32 __user *uaddr,
			      u32 oldval, u32 newval)
{
	if (!access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE, uaddr, sizeof(u32)))
		return -EFAULT;

	{
		register unsigned long r8 __asm ("r8") = 0;
		unsigned long prev;
		__asm__ __volatile__(
			"	mf;;					\n"
			"	mov ar.ccv=%4;;				\n"
			"[1:]	cmpxchg4.acq %1=[%2],%3,ar.ccv		\n"
			"	.xdata4 \"__ex_table\", 1b-., 2f-.	\n"
			"[2:]"
			: "+r" (r8), "=&amp;r" (prev)
			: "r" (uaddr), "r" (newval),
			  "rO" ((long) (unsigned) oldval)
			: "memory");
		*uval = prev;
		return r8;
	}
}

I also initialized the 'r8' var with the C programming language.
The _asm qualifier on the definition of the 'r8' var forces GCC to use
the r8 processor register for it.
I don't believe that we should use inline assembly for zeroing out a
local variable.
The constraint is
"+r" (r8)
what means that it is both an input register and an output register.
Note that the page fault handler will modify the r8 register which
will be the return value of the function.
The real fix is
"=&amp;r" (prev)
The &amp; means that GCC must not use any of the input registers to place
this output register in.

Patched the Kernel 3.2.23 and compiled it with GCC4.4:

Much better.
There is a
      270:	05 40 00 00 00 e1 	[MLX]       mov r8=r0
which was generated by C code r8 = 0. Below
      2b6:	00 10 81 54 08 00 	            mov.m ar.ccv=r34
what means that oldval is no longer overwritten.

This is Debian bug#702641
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=702641).

The patch is applicable on Kernel 3.9-rc1, 3.2.23 and many other versions.

commit d303e9e98fce56cdb3c6f2ac92f626fc2bd51c77 upstream.

Back 2010 during a revamp of the irq code some initializations
were moved from ia64_mca_init() to ia64_mca_late_init() in

	commit c75f2aa13f5b268aba369b5dc566088b5194377c
	Cannot use register_percpu_irq() from ia64_mca_init()

But this was hideously wrong. First of all these initializations
are now down far too late. Specifically after all the other cpus
have been brought up and initialized their own CMC vectors from
smp_callin(). Also ia64_mca_late_init() may be called from any cpu
so the line:
	ia64_mca_cmc_vector_setup();       /* Setup vector on BSP */
is generally not executed on the BSP, and so the CMC vector isn't
setup at all on that processor.

Make use of the arch_early_irq_init() hook to get this code executed
at just the right moment: not too early, not too late.

<title>xen/time: Fix kasprintf splat when allocating timer%d IRQ line.</title>

commit 7918c92ae9638eb8a6ec18e2b4a0de84557cccc8 upstream.

When we online the CPU, we get this splat:

smpboot: Booting Node 0 Processor 1 APIC 0x2
installing Xen timer for CPU 1
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at /home/konrad/ssd/konrad/linux/mm/slab.c:3179
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 0, name: swapper/1
Pid: 0, comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 3.9.0-rc6upstream-00001-g3884fad #1
Call Trace:
 [&lt;ffffffff810c1fea&gt;] __might_sleep+0xda/0x100

 [&lt;ffffffff81666d0a&gt;] start_secondary+0x19c/0x1a8

The solution to that is use kasprintf in the CPU hotplug path
that 'online's the CPU. That is, do it in in xen_hvm_cpu_notify,
and remove the call to in xen_hvm_setup_cpu_clockevents.

Unfortunatly the later is not a good idea as the bootup path
does not use xen_hvm_cpu_notify so we would end up never allocating
timer%d interrupt lines when booting. As such add the check for
atomic() to continue.

commit 6747e83235caecd30b186d1282e4eba7679f81b7 upstream.

In commit 85fe402 (fs: do not assign default i_ino in new_inode), the
initialisation of i_ino was removed from new_inode() and pushed down
into the callers. However spufs_new_inode() was not updated.

This exhibits as no files appearing in /spu, because all our dirents
have a zero inode, which readdir() seems to dislike.
