perf: Fix perf ring buffer memory ordering

2013-11-20T20:31:39+00:00

commit bf378d341e4873ed928dc3c636252e6895a21f50 upstream.

The PPC64 people noticed a missing memory barrier and crufty old
comments in the perf ring buffer code. So update all the comments and
add the missing barrier.

When the architecture implements local_t using atomic_long_t there
will be double barriers issued; but short of introducing more
conditional barrier primitives this is the best we can do.

drm: Pad drm_mode_get_connector to 64-bit boundary

2013-11-13T03:08:11+00:00

commit bc5bd37ce48c66e9192ad2e7231e9678880f6f8e upstream.

Pavel Roskin reported that DRM_IOCTL_MODE_GETCONNECTOR was overwritting
the 4 bytes beyond the end of its structure with a 32-bit userspace
running on a 64-bit kernel. This is due to the padding gcc inserts as
the drm_mode_get_connector struct includes a u64 and its size is not a
natural multiple of u64s.

64-bit kernel:

sizeof(drm_mode_get_connector)=80, alignof=8
sizeof(drm_mode_get_encoder)=20, alignof=4
sizeof(drm_mode_modeinfo)=68, alignof=4

32-bit userspace:

sizeof(drm_mode_get_connector)=76, alignof=4
sizeof(drm_mode_get_encoder)=20, alignof=4
sizeof(drm_mode_modeinfo)=68, alignof=4

Fortuituously we can insert explicit padding to the tail of our
structures without breaking ABI.

drm/radeon/si: Add support for CP DMA to CS checker for compute v2

2013-10-01T16:41:00+00:00

commit e5b9e7503eb1f4884efa3b321d3cc47806779202 upstream.

Also add a new RADEON_INFO query to check that CP DMA packets are
supported on the compute ring.

CP DMA has been supported since the 3.8 kernel, but due to an oversight
we forgot to teach the CS checker that the CP DMA packet was legal for
the compute ring on Southern Islands GPUs.

This patch fixes a bug where the radeon driver will incorrectly reject a legal
CP DMA packet from user space.  I would like to have the patch
backported to stable so that we don't have to require Mesa users to use a
bleeding edge kernel in order to take advantage of this feature which
is already present in the stable kernels (3.8 and newer).

v2:
  - Don't bump kms version, so this patch can be backported to stable
    kernels.

ipv4: expose IPV4_DEVCONF

2013-08-23T03:30:15+00:00

IP sends device configuration (see inet_fill_link_af) as an array
in the netlink information, but the indices in that array are not
exposed to userspace through any current santized header file.

It was available back in 2.6.32 (in /usr/include/linux/sysctl.h)
but was broken by:

    net ipv4: Decouple ipv4 interface parameters from binary sysctl numbers

Eric was solving the sysctl problem but then the indices were re-exposed
by a later addition of devconf support for IPV4

  Date:   Tue Nov 16 04:32:48 2010 +0000

    ipv4: AF_INET link address family

Putting them in /usr/include/linux/ip.h seemed the logical match
for the DEVCONF_ definitions for IPV6 in /usr/include/linux/ip6.h

net_sched: restore "linklayer atm" handling

2013-08-15T08:43:08+00:00

commit 56b765b79 ("htb: improved accuracy at high rates")
broke the "linklayer atm" handling.

 tc class add ... htb rate X ceil Y linklayer atm

The linklayer setting is implemented by modifying the rate table
which is send to the kernel.  No direct parameter were
transferred to the kernel indicating the linklayer setting.

The commit 56b765b79 ("htb: improved accuracy at high rates")
removed the use of the rate table system.

To keep compatible with older iproute2 utils, this patch detects
the linklayer by parsing the rate table.  It also supports future
versions of iproute2 to send this linklayer parameter to the
kernel directly. This is done by using the __reserved field in
struct tc_ratespec, to convey the choosen linklayer option, but
only using the lower 4 bits of this field.

Linklayer detection is limited to speeds below 100Mbit/s, because
at high rates the rtab is gets too inaccurate, so bad that
several fields contain the same values, this resembling the ATM
detect.  Fields even start to contain "0" time to send, e.g. at
1000Mbit/s sending a 96 bytes packet cost "0", thus the rtab have
been more broken than we first realized.

net: rename busy poll MIB counter

2013-08-09T18:39:08+00:00

Rename mib counter from "low latency" to "busy poll"

v1 also moved the counter to the ip MIB (suggested by Shawn Bohrer)
Eric Dumazet suggested that the current location is better.

So v2 just renames the counter to fit the new naming convention.

NFC: netlink: Rename CMD_FW_UPLOAD to CMD_FW_DOWNLOAD

2013-07-30T23:19:43+00:00

Loading a firmware into a target is typically called firmware
download, not firmware upload. So we rename the netlink API to
NFC_CMD_FW_DOWNLOAD in order to avoid any terminology confusion from
