3037944009 [PATCH] x86: fix oprofile kernel callgraph regression
Fix x86 oprofile regression introduced by:
  commit c34d1b4d16
  [PATCH] mm: kill check_user_page_readable

That commit reorganized tests for the userspace stack walking moving all
those tests into dump_backtrace(), however, dump_backtrace() was used for
both userspace and kernel stalk walking.  The result is typically no
recorded callgraph information for kernel samples.

Revive the original function as dump_kernel_backtrace() and rename the
other to dump_user_backtrace() to avoid future confusion.

108dff7d2b [PATCH] sys_newfstatat -> sys_fstatat64
parisc defines ARCH_WANT_STAT64, so we want to use fstatat64. It does not
appear that it needs to be ENTRY_COMP, because struct stat64 is the same
on both 32-bit and 64-bit (unlike on other platforms which did define a
compat_sys_fstatat64.)

0d541064e8 [PATCH] x86_64: GART DMA merging fix
Don't touch the non DMA members in the sg list in dma_map_sg in the IOMMU

Some drivers (in particular ST) ran into problems because they reused the sg
lists after passing them to pci_map_sg().  The merging procedure in the K8
GART IOMMU corrupted the state.  This patch changes it to only touch the dma*
entries during merging, but not the other fields.  Approach suggested by Dave
Miller.

a65d17c9d2 [PATCH] arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c PTRACE_SINGLESTEP oops
We found a problem with x86_64 kernels with preemption enabled, where
having multiple tasks doing ptrace singlesteps around the same time will
cause the system to 'oops'.  The problem seems that a task can get
preempted out of the do_debug() processing while it is running on the
DEBUG_STACK stack.  If another task on that same cpu then enters do_debug()
and uses the same per-cpu DEBUG_STACK stack, the previous preempted tasks's
stack contents can be corrupted, and the system will oops when the
preempted task is context switched back in again.

The typical oops looks like the following:

This patch disables preemptions for the task upon entry to do_debug(), before
interrupts are reenabled, and then disables preemption before exiting
do_debug(), after disabling interrupts.  I've noticed that the task can be
preempted either at the end of an interrupt, or on the call to
force_sig_info() on the spin_unlock_irqrestore() processing.  It might be
better to attempt to code a fix in entry.S around the code that calls
do_debug().

c0cdf1935c [PATCH] x86: print out early faults via early_printk()
Lost a few hours debugging an early-bootup fault within printk itself,
which manifested itself as a hard to debug early hang.

This patch makes it much easier by printing out early faults via
early_printk(), which function is a lot simpler than a full printk, and
hence more likely to succeed in emergencies.  (We do not recover from early
faults anyway, so there's no loss from not having these messages in the
normal printk buffer.)

33042a9ff4 [PATCH] x86-64: Fix HPET timer on x460
[description from AK]

The IBM Summit 3 chipset doesn't implement the HPET timer replacement
option.  Since the current Linux code relies on it use a mixed mode with
both PIT for the interrupt and HPET counters for the time keeping.  That
was already implemented, but didn't work properly because it was still
using the last interrupt offset in HPET.  This resulted in x460 not
booting.  Fix this up by using the free running HPET counter.

Shouldn't affect any other machine because they either use full HPET mode
or no HPET at all.

TBD needs a similar 32bit fix.

cff2b76009 [PATCH] fstatat64 support
The *at patches introduced fstatat and, due to inusfficient research, I
used the newfstat functions generally as the guideline.  The result is that
on 32-bit platforms we don't have all the information needed to implement
fstatat64.

This patch modifies the code to pass up 64-bit information if
__ARCH_WANT_STAT64 is defined.  I renamed the syscall entry point to make
this clear.  Other archs will continue to use the existing code.  On x86-64
the compat code is implemented using a new sys32_ function.  this is what
is done for the other stat syscalls as well.

This patch might break some other archs (those which define
__ARCH_WANT_STAT64 and which already wired up the syscall).  Yet others
might need changes to accomodate the compatibility mode.  I really don't
want to do that work because all this stat handling is a mess (more so in
glibc, but the kernel is also affected).  It should be done by the arch
maintainers.  I'll provide some stand-alone test shortly.  Those who are
eager could compile glibc and run 'make check' (no installation needed).

The patch below has been tested on x86 and x86-64.

7a8ef1cb77 [PATCH] x86: don't initialise cpu_possible_map to all ones
Initialising cpu_possible_map to all-ones with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU means that

a) All for_each_cpu() loops will iterate across all NR_CPUS CPUs, rather
   than over possible ones.  That can be quite expensive.

b) Soon we'll be allocating per-cpu areas only for possible CPUs.  So with
   CPU_MASK_ALL, we'll be wasting memory.

I also switched voyager over to not use CPU_MASK_ALL in the non-CPU-hotplug
case.  Should be OK..

I note that parisc is also using CPU_MASK_ALL.  Suggest that it stop doing
that.

705672935f [PATCH] Fix building external modules on ppc32
We are setting up sources for building external modules like this:

  /usr/src/linux-obj> make -C /usr/src/linux O=$PWD prepare
  /usr/src/linux-obj> make -C /usr/src/linux O=$PWD scripts
  /usr/src/linux-obj> make -C /usr/src/linux O=$PWD clean

After that, external modules can be built with:

  /usr/src/module> make -C /usr/src/linux-obj M=$PWD

This fails for ppc32 because the `make clean' removes the
arch/powerpc/include directory.  This should be done in archmrproper
instead of in archclean.

53d9cc7395 [ARM] 3279/1: OMAP: 1/3 Fix low-level io init
Patch from Tony Lindgren

This patch adds the missing cache flushes to common low-level
init that are needed to access the IO region. These flushes
are normally done at the end of devicemaps_init(), but we
need to detect the OMAP core type early.

f557f5e51d [ARM] 3313/1: Use OSC4 instead of OSC1 for CLCD
Patch from Catalin Marinas

Because of a type, OSC1 was used for setting the display clock instead of
OSC4. This patch fixes it.

5964eae835 [ARM] 3310/1: add a comment about the possible __kuser_cmpxchg transient false
negative

Patch from Nicolas Pitre

The pre ARMv5 implementation can be aborted if an exception occurs in
the middle of it.  Because of that, the ARMv6 implementation doesn't
re-attempt the operation on a failed strex either.  Let's make this
transient nature of such a false positive more explicit in the
definition.

49bca4c281 [ARM] 3309/1: disable the pre-ARMv5 NPTL kernel helper in the non MMU case
Patch from Nicolas Pitre

The cmpxchg emulation on pre-ARMv5 relies on user code executed from a
kernel address.  If the operation cannot complete atomically, it is
aborted from the usr_entry macro by clearing the Z flag.  This clearing
of the Z flag is done whenever the user pc is above TASK_SIZE.

However this "pc >= TASK_SIZE" test cannot work in the non MMU case.
Worse: the current code will corrupt the Z flag on every entry to the
kernel.

Let's disable it in the non MMU case for now.  Using NPTL on non MMU
targets needs to be worked out anyway.

99595d0237 [ARM] 3308/1: old ABI compat: struct sockaddr_un
Patch from Nicolas Pitre

struct sockaddr_un loses its padding with EABI.  Since the size of the
structure is used as a validation test in unix_mkname(), we need to
change the length argument to 110 whenever it is 112.
