Merge tag 'amd_ucode_fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bp/bp into x86/urgent

2013-08-14T10:16:28+00:00

Pull AMD microcode fixes from Borislav Petkov:

 " Those are basically two fixes which correct the AMD early ucode loader
   from accessing cpu_data too early, i.e. before smp_store_cpu_info()
   has copied the boot_cpu_data ontop and overwritten an already empty
   structure (which we shouldn't access that early in the first place
   anyway).

   The second patch is kinda largish for that late in the game but it
   shouldn't be problematic because we're simply switching from using
   cpu_data to use the CPU family number directly and thus again, not use
   uninitialized cpu_data structure. "

mm: save soft-dirty bits on file pages

2013-08-14T00:57:48+00:00

Andy reported that if file page get reclaimed we lose the soft-dirty bit
if it was there, so save _PAGE_BIT_SOFT_DIRTY bit when page address get
encoded into pte entry.  Thus when #pf happens on such non-present pte
we can restore it back.

mm: save soft-dirty bits on swapped pages

2013-08-14T00:57:47+00:00

Andy Lutomirski reported that if a page with _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit set
get swapped out, the bit is getting lost and no longer available when
pte read back.

To resolve this we introduce _PTE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit which is saved in
pte entry for the page being swapped out.  When such page is to be read
back from a swap cache we check for bit presence and if it's there we
clear it and restore the former _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit back.

One of the problem was to find a place in pte entry where we can save
the _PTE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit while page is in swap.  The _PAGE_PSE was
chosen for that, it doesn't intersect with swap entry format stored in
pte.

sched: fix the theoretical signal_wake_up() vs schedule() race

2013-08-13T15:19:26+00:00

This is only theoretical, but after try_to_wake_up(p) was changed
to check p->state under p->pi_lock the code like

	__set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
	schedule();

can miss a signal. This is the special case of wait-for-condition,
it relies on try_to_wake_up/schedule interaction and thus it does
not need mb() between __set_current_state() and if(signal_pending).

However, this __set_current_state() can move into the critical
section protected by rq->lock, now that try_to_wake_up() takes
another lock we need to ensure that it can't be reordered with
"if (signal_pending(current))" check inside that section.

The patch is actually one-liner, it simply adds smp_wmb() before
spin_lock_irq(rq->lock). This is what try_to_wake_up() already
does by the same reason.

We turn this wmb() into the new helper, smp_mb__before_spinlock(),
for better documentation and to allow the architectures to change
the default implementation.

While at it, kill smp_mb__after_lock(), it has no callers.

Perhaps we can also add smp_mb__before/after_spinunlock() for
prepare_to_wait().

x86, microcode, AMD: Fix early microcode loading

2013-08-12T16:32:45+00:00

load_microcode_amd() (and the helper it is using) should not have an
cpu parameter. The microcode loading does not depend on the CPU wrt the
patches loaded since they will end up in a global list for all CPUs
anyway.

The change from cpu to x86family in load_microcode_amd()
now allows to drop the code messing with cpu_data(cpu) from
collect_cpu_info_amd_early(), which is wrong anyway because at that
point the per-cpu cpu_info is not yet setup (These values would later be
overwritten by smp_store_boot_cpu_info() / smp_store_cpu_info()).

Fold the rest of collect_cpu_info_amd_early() into load_ucode_amd_ap(),
because its only used at one place and without the cpuinfo_x86 accesses
it was not much left.

x86: Don't clear olpc_ofw_header when sentinel is detected

2013-08-09T22:29:48+00:00

OpenFirmware wasn't quite following the protocol described in boot.txt
and the kernel has detected this through use of the sentinel value
in boot_params. OFW does zero out almost all of the stuff that it should
do, but not the sentinel.

This causes the kernel to clear olpc_ofw_header, which breaks x86 OLPC
support.

OpenFirmware has now been fixed. However, it would be nice if we could
maintain Linux compatibility with old firmware versions. To do that, we just
have to avoid zeroing out olpc_ofw_header.

OFW does not write to any other parts of the header that are being zapped
by the sentinel-detection code, and all users of olpc_ofw_header are
somewhat protected through checking for the OLPC_OFW_SIG magic value
before using it. So this should not cause any problems for anyone.

x86: delete __cpuinit usage from all x86 files

2013-07-14T23:36:56+00:00

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
are flagged as __cpuinit  -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
of these warnings.  In any case, they are temporary and harmless.

This removes all the arch/x86 uses of the __cpuinit macros from
all C files.  x86 only had the one __CPUINIT used in assembly files,
and it wasn't paired off with a .previous or a __FINIT, so we can
delete it directly w/o any corresponding additional change there.

 "There are not too many changes this time, except two new platform
  thermal drivers, ti-soc-thermal driver and x86_pkg_temp_thermal
  driver, and a couple of small fixes.

  Highlights:

   - move the ti-soc-thermal driver out of the staging tree to the
     thermal tree.

   - introduce the x86_pkg_temp_thermal driver.  This driver registers
     CPU digital temperature package level sensor as a thermal zone.

   - small fixes/cleanups including removing redundant use of
     platform_set_drvdata() and of_match_ptr for all platform thermal
     drivers"
