Remove GENERIC_HARDIRQ config option

2013-09-13T13:09:52+00:00

After the last architecture switched to generic hard irqs the config
options HAVE_GENERIC_HARDIRQS & GENERIC_HARDIRQS and the related code
for !CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS can be removed.

arch: mm: pass userspace fault flag to generic fault handler

2013-09-12T22:38:01+00:00

Unlike global OOM handling, memory cgroup code will invoke the OOM killer
in any OOM situation because it has no way of telling faults occuring in
kernel context - which could be handled more gracefully - from
user-triggered faults.

Pass a flag that identifies faults originating in user space from the
architecture-specific fault handlers to generic code so that memcg OOM
handling can be improved.

2013-09-12T18:29:26+00:00

Pull IOMMU Updates from Joerg Roedel:
 "This round the updates contain:

   - A new driver for the Freescale PAMU IOMMU from Varun Sethi.

     This driver has cooked for a while and required changes to the
     IOMMU-API and infrastructure that were already merged before.

   - Updates for the ARM-SMMU driver from Will Deacon

   - Various fixes, the most important one is probably a fix from Alex
     Williamson for a memory leak in the VT-d page-table freeing code

  In summary not all that much.  The biggest part in the diffstat is the
  new PAMU driver"

mm: migrate: check movability of hugepage in unmap_and_move_huge_page()

2013-09-11T22:57:49+00:00

Currently hugepage migration works well only for pmd-based hugepages
(mainly due to lack of testing,) so we had better not enable migration of
other levels of hugepages until we are ready for it.

Some users of hugepage migration (mbind, move_pages, and migrate_pages) do
page table walk and check pud/pmd_huge() there, so they are safe.  But the
other users (softoffline and memory hotremove) don't do this, so without
this patch they can try to migrate unexpected types of hugepages.

To prevent this, we introduce hugepage_migration_support() as an
architecture dependent check of whether hugepage are implemented on a pmd
basis or not.  And on some architecture multiple sizes of hugepages are
available, so hugepage_migration_support() also checks hugepage size.

powerpc: Default arch idle could cede processor on pseries

2013-09-11T01:41:54+00:00

When adding cpuidle support to pSeries, we introduced two
regressions:

  - The new cpuidle backend driver only works under hypervisors
    supporting the "SLPLAR" option, which isn't the case of the
    old POWER4 hypervisor and the HV "light" used on js2x blades

  - The cpuidle driver registers fairly late, meaning that for
    a significant portion of the boot process, we end up having
    all threads spinning. This slows down the boot process and
    increases the overall resource usage if the hypervisor has
    shared processors.

This fixes both by implementing a "default" idle that will cede
to the hypervisor when possible, in a very simple way without
all the bells and whisles of cpuidle.

powerpc: Fix section mismatch warning for prom_rtas_call

2013-09-11T01:39:38+00:00

While cross-building for PPC64 I've got

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text.unlikely+0x1ba): Section mismatch in
reference from the function .prom_rtas_call() to the variable
.init.data:dt_string_start The function .prom_rtas_call() references
the variable __initdata dt_string_start.  This is often because
.prom_rtas_call lacks a __initdata annotation or the annotation of
dt_string_start is wrong.

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.meminit.text+0xeb0): Section mismatch in reference
from the function .free_area_init_core.isra.47() to the function
.init.text:.set_pageblock_order() The function __meminit
.free_area_init_core.isra.47() references a function __init
.set_pageblock_order().  If .set_pageblock_order is only used by
.free_area_init_core.isra.47 then annotate .set_pageblock_order with a
matching annotation.

Fix it by proper annotation of prom_rtas_call.

powerpc: Fix possible deadlock on page fault

2013-09-11T01:39:37+00:00

 stack_grow_into/14082 is trying to acquire lock:
  (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [] .might_fault+0x78/0xe0

 but task is already holding lock:
  (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [] .do_page_fault+0x24c/0x910

 other info that might help us debug this:
  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

        CPU0

   lock(&mm->mmap_sem);
   lock(&mm->mmap_sem);

  *** DEADLOCK ***

  May be due to missing lock nesting notation
