sh: add EXPORT_SYMBOL(min_low_pfn) and EXPORT_SYMBOL(max_low_pfn) to sh_ksyms_32.c

2014-01-09T20:25:16+00:00

commit ad70b029d2c678386384bd72c7fa2705c449b518 upstream.

Min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn were used in pfn_valid macro if defined
CONFIG_FLATMEM.  When the functions that use the pfn_valid is used in
driver module, max_low_pfn and min_low_pfn is to undefined, and fail to
build.

  ERROR: "min_low_pfn" [drivers/block/aoe/aoe.ko] undefined!
  ERROR: "max_low_pfn" [drivers/block/aoe/aoe.ko] undefined!
  make[2]: *** [__modpost] Error 1

This patch fix this problem.

sh: always link in helper functions extracted from libgcc

2014-01-09T20:25:15+00:00

commit 84ed8a99058e61567f495cc43118344261641c5f upstream.

E.g. landisk_defconfig, which has CONFIG_NTFS_FS=m:

  ERROR: "__ashrdi3" [fs/ntfs/ntfs.ko] undefined!

For "lib-y", if no symbols in a compilation unit are referenced by other
units, the compilation unit will not be included in vmlinux.  This
breaks modules that do reference those symbols.

Use "obj-y" instead to fix this.

http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/buildresult/8838077/

This doesn't fix all cases. There are others, e.g. udivsi3.
This is also not limited to sh, many architectures handle this in the
same way.

A simple solution is to unconditionally include all helper functions.
A more complex solution is to make the choice of "lib-y" or "obj-y" depend
on CONFIG_MODULES:

  obj-$(CONFIG_MODULES) += ...
  lib-y($CONFIG_MODULES) += ...

ARM: sun7i: dt: Fix interrupt trigger types

2014-01-09T20:25:15+00:00

commit 378d0aee3b53bd8549b29dcc75f2bf47ee446e8f upstream.

The Allwinner A20 uses the ARM GIC as its internal interrupts controller. The
GIC can work on several interrupt triggers, and the A20 was actually setting it
up to use a rising edge as a trigger, while it was actually a level high
trigger, leading to some interrupts that would be completely ignored if the
edge was missed.

mm: fix TLB flush race between migration, and change_protection_range

2014-01-09T20:25:14+00:00

commit 20841405940e7be0617612d521e206e4b6b325db upstream.

There are a few subtle races, between change_protection_range (used by
mprotect and change_prot_numa) on one side, and NUMA page migration and
compaction on the other side.

The basic race is that there is a time window between when the PTE gets
made non-present (PROT_NONE or NUMA), and the TLB is flushed.

During that time, a CPU may continue writing to the page.

This is fine most of the time, however compaction or the NUMA migration
code may come in, and migrate the page away.

When that happens, the CPU may continue writing, through the cached
translation, to what is no longer the current memory location of the
process.

This only affects x86, which has a somewhat optimistic pte_accessible.
All other architectures appear to be safe, and will either always flush,
or flush whenever there is a valid mapping, even with no permissions
(SPARC).

The basic race looks like this:

CPU A			CPU B			CPU C

						load TLB entry
make entry PTE/PMD_NUMA
			fault on entry
						read/write old page
			start migrating page
			change PTE/PMD to new page
						read/write old page [*]
flush TLB
						reload TLB from new entry
						read/write new page
						lose data

[*] the old page may belong to a new user at this point!

The obvious fix is to flush remote TLB entries, by making sure that
pte_accessible aware of the fact that PROT_NONE and PROT_NUMA memory may
still be accessible if there is a TLB flush pending for the mm.

This should fix both NUMA migration and compaction.

mm: numa: serialise parallel get_user_page against THP migration

2014-01-09T20:25:13+00:00

commit 2b4847e73004c10ae6666c2e27b5c5430aed8698 upstream.

Base pages are unmapped and flushed from cache and TLB during normal
page migration and replaced with a migration entry that causes any
parallel NUMA hinting fault or gup to block until migration completes.

THP does not unmap pages due to a lack of support for migration entries
at a PMD level.  This allows races with get_user_pages and
get_user_pages_fast which commit 3f926ab945b6 ("mm: Close races between
THP migration and PMD numa clearing") made worse by introducing a
pmd_clear_flush().

This patch forces get_user_page (fast and normal) on a pmd_numa page to
go through the slow get_user_page path where it will serialise against
THP migration and properly account for the NUMA hinting fault.  On the
migration side the page table lock is taken for each PTE update.

powerpc: Align p_end

2014-01-09T20:25:12+00:00

commit 286e4f90a72c0b0621dde0294af6ed4b0baddabb upstream.

p_end is an 8 byte value embedded in the text section. This means it
is only 4 byte aligned when it should be 8 byte aligned. Fix this
by adding an explicit alignment.

This fixes an issue where POWER7 little endian builds with
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y fail to boot.

powerpc: Fix bad stack check in exception entry

2014-01-09T20:25:12+00:00

commit 90ff5d688e61f49f23545ffab6228bd7e87e6dc7 upstream.

In EXCEPTION_PROLOG_COMMON() we check to see if the stack pointer (r1)
is valid when coming from the kernel.  If it's not valid, we die but
with a nice oops message.

Currently we allocate a stack frame (subtract INT_FRAME_SIZE) before we
check to see if the stack pointer is negative.  Unfortunately, this
won't detect a bad stack where r1 is less than INT_FRAME_SIZE.

This patch fixes the check to compare the modified r1 with
-INT_FRAME_SIZE.  With this, bad kernel stack pointers (including NULL
pointers) are correctly detected again.

Kudos to Paulus for finding this.

KVM: x86: Fix APIC map calculation after re-enabling

2014-01-09T20:25:12+00:00

commit e66d2ae7c67bd9ac982a3d1890564de7f7eabf4b upstream.

Update arch.apic_base before triggering recalculate_apic_map. Otherwise
the recalculation will work against the previous state of the APIC and
will fail to build the correct map when an APIC is hardware-enabled
again.

This fixes a regression of 1e08ec4a13.

KVM: nVMX: Unconditionally uninit the MMU on nested vmexit

2014-01-09T20:25:12+00:00

commit 29bf08f12b2fd72b882da0d85b7385e4a438a297 upstream.

Three reasons for doing this: 1. arch.walk_mmu points to arch.mmu anyway
in case nested EPT wasn't in use. 2. this aligns VMX with SVM. But 3. is
most important: nested_cpu_has_ept(vmcs12) queries the VMCS page, and if
one guest VCPU manipulates the page of another VCPU in L2, we may be
fooled to skip over the nested_ept_uninit_mmu_context, leaving mmu in
nested state. That can crash the host later on if nested_ept_get_cr3 is
invoked while L1 already left vmxon and nested.current_vmcs12 became
NULL therefore.

x86 idle: Repair large-server 50-watt idle-power regression

2014-01-09T20:25:09+00:00

commit 40e2d7f9b5dae048789c64672bf3027fbb663ffa upstream.

Linux 3.10 changed the timing of how thread_info->flags is touched:

	x86: Use generic idle loop
	(7d1a941731fabf27e5fb6edbebb79fe856edb4e5)

This caused Intel NHM-EX and WSM-EX servers to experience a large number
of immediate MONITOR/MWAIT break wakeups, which caused cpuidle to demote
from deep C-states to shallow C-states, which caused these platforms
to experience a significant increase in idle power.

Note that this issue was already present before the commit above,
however, it wasn't seen often enough to be noticed in power measurements.

Here we extend an errata workaround from the Core2 EX "Dunnington"
to extend to NHM-EX and WSM-EX, to prevent these immediate
returns from MWAIT, reducing idle power on these platforms.

While only acpi_idle ran on Dunnington, intel_idle
may also run on these two newer systems.
As of today, there are no other models that are known
to need this tweak.
