16 years ago[POWERPC] Fix missed hardware breakpoints across multiple threads
Michael Ellerman [Fri, 28 Mar 2008 08:11:48 +0000 (19:11 +1100)] 
[POWERPC] Fix missed hardware breakpoints across multiple threads

There is a bug in the powerpc DABR (data access breakpoint) handling,
which can result in us missing breakpoints if several threads are trying
to break on the same address.

The circumstances are that do_page_fault() calls do_dabr(), this clears
the DABR (sets it to 0) and sets up the signal which will report to
userspace that the DABR was hit. The do_signal() code will restore the DABR
value on the way out to userspace.

If we reschedule before calling do_signal(), __switch_to() will check the
cached DABR value and compare it to the new thread's value, if they match
we don't set the DABR in hardware.

So if two threads have the same DABR value, and we schedule from one to
the other after taking the interrupt for the first thread hitting the DABR,
the second thread will run without the DABR set in hardware.

The cleanest fix is to move the cache update into set_dabr(), that way we
can't forget to do it.

xen: fix RMW when unmasking events

xen_irq_enable_direct and xen_sysexit were using "andw $0x00ff,
XEN_vcpu_info_pending(vcpu)" to unmask events and test for pending ones
in one instuction.

Unfortunately, the pending flag must be modified with a locked operation
since it can be set by another CPU, and the unlocked form of this
operation was causing the pending flag to get lost, allowing the processor
to return to usermode with pending events and ultimately deadlock.

The simple fix would be to make it a locked operation, but that's rather
costly and unnecessary.  The fix here is to split the mask-clearing and
pending-testing into two instructions; the interrupt window between
them is of no concern because either way pending or new events will
be processed.

This should fix lingering bugs in using direct vcpu structure access too.

Herbert Xu [Wed, 26 Mar 2008 23:51:09 +0000 (16:51 -0700)] 
[IPSEC]: Fix BEET output

The IPv6 BEET output function is incorrectly including the inner
header in the payload to be protected.  This causes a crash as
the packet doesn't actually have that many bytes for a second
header.

The IPv4 BEET output on the other hand is broken when it comes
to handling an inner IPv6 header since it always assumes an
inner IPv4 header.

This patch fixes both by making sure that neither BEET output
function touches the inner header at all.  All access is now
done through the protocol-independent cb structure.  Two new
attributes are added to make this work, the IP header length
and the IPv4 option length.  They're filled in by the inner
mode's output function.

Thanks to Joakim Koskela for finding this problem.

x86: fix performance drop for glx

fix the 3D performance drop reported at:

   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10328

fb drivers are using ioremap()/ioremap_nocache(), followed by mtrr_add with
WC attribute. Recent changes in page attribute code made both
ioremap()/ioremap_nocache() mappings as UC (instead of previous UC-). This
breaks the graphics performance, as the effective memory type is UC instead
of expected WC.

The correct way to fix this is to add ioremap_wc() (which uses UC- in the
absence of PAT kernel support and WC with PAT) and change all the
fb drivers to use this new ioremap_wc() API.

We can take this correct and longer route for post 2.6.25. For now,
revert back to the UC- behavior for ioremap/ioremap_nocache.

otherwise setup_memory() is called two times... that is duplicated...

SVCRDMA: Check num_sge when setting LAST_CTXT bit

The RDMACTXT_F_LAST_CTXT bit was getting set incorrectly
when the last chunk in the read-list spanned multiple pages. This
resulted in a kernel panic when the wrong context was used to
build the RPC iovec page list.

RDMA_READ is used to fetch RPC data from the client for
NFS_WRITE requests. A scatter-gather is used to map the
advertised client side buffer to the server-side iovec and
associated page list.

WR contexts are used to convey which scatter-gather entries are
handled by each WR. When the write data is large, a single RPC may
require multiple RDMA_READ requests so the contexts for a single RPC
are chained together in a linked list. The last context in this list
is marked with a bit RDMACTXT_F_LAST_CTXT so that when this WR completes,
the CQ handler code can enqueue the RPC for processing.

The code in rdma_read_xdr was setting this bit on the last two
contexts on this list when the last read-list chunk spanned multiple
pages. This caused the svc_rdma_recvfrom logic to incorrectly build

16 years agoRevert "PCI: remove transparent bridge sizing"
Linus Torvalds [Wed, 26 Mar 2008 18:22:40 +0000 (11:22 -0700)] 
Revert "PCI: remove transparent bridge sizing"

This reverts commit 8fa5913d54f3b1e09948e6a0db34da887e05ff1f, which
caused various interesting problems for people, including wrong resource
allocations.  See for example bugzilla entry "2.6.25-rc2: ohci1394
problem (MMIO broken)" at

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10080

And Gary Hade says:

 "The same change had also exposed an issue reported by Paul Martin that
  has been causing an Oops while hotplugging ThinkPads to a ThinkPad
  Dock II.  See

http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/19/405
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9961

  I have a fix for the ThinkPad docking Oops but if the issue being
  discussed here is caused by the transparent bridge sizing removal
  change I totally agree that it should be reverted."

  The transparent bridge sizing removal change was motivated by
  insufficient PCI memory resource for a transparent bridge window that
  was being created as a result of expansion ROM(s) being included in
  the transparent bridge sizing calculations.

  A later "PCI: Remove default PCI expansion ROM memory allocation"
  change ( re: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/11/361 ) removes the
  expansion ROM(s) from the transparent bridge sizing calculations which
  actually resolves the original issue in a different manner.  So, even
  if the "PCI: remove transparent bridge sizing" is not problematic it
  is no longer needed anyway."

reevaluation of the timer wheel for the next timer event.

Add a function, which checks a given CPU for idle state, marks the
idle task with NEED_RESCHED and sends a reschedule IPI to notify the
other CPU of the change in the timer wheel.

idle or C1 idle, where this timing info is not accurate.
This inaccuracy is due to interrupts being handled

Do not mark TIME_VALID for CO poll state.
Mark C1 time as valid only with the MWAIT (CSTATE_FFH) entry method.

This makes governors use the timing information only when it is correct and

16 years agocxgb3: Fix lockdep problems with sge.reg_lock

cxgb3: Fix lockdep problems with sge.reg_lock

Using iWARP with a Chelsio T3 NIC generates the following lockdep warning:

    =================================
    [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ]
    2.6.25-rc6 #50
    ---------------------------------
    inconsistent {softirq-on-W} -> {in-softirq-W} usage.
    swapper/0 [HC0[0]:SC1[1]:HE0:SE0] takes:
     (&adap->sge.reg_lock){-+..}, at: [<ffffffff880e5ee2>] cxgb_offload_ctl+0x3af/0x507 [cxgb3]

The problem is that reg_lock is used with plain spin_lock() in
drivers/net/cxgb3/sge.c but is used with spin_lock_irqsave() in
drivers/net/cxgb3/cxgb3_offload.c.  This is technically a false
positive, since the uses in sge.c are only in the initialization and
cleanup paths and cannot overlap with any use in interrupt context.

The best fix is probably just to use spin_lock_irq() with reg_lock in
sge.c.  Even though it's not strictly required for correctness, it
avoids triggering lockdep and the extra overhead of disabling
interrupts is not important at all in the initialization and cleanup
slow paths.
