The H_REGISTER_VPA hcall implementation in HV Power KVM needs to pin some
guest memory pages into host memory so that they can be safely accessed
from usermode. It does this used get_user_pages_fast(). When the VPA is
unregistered, or the VCPUs are cleaned up, these pages are released using
put_page().
However, the get_user_pages() is invoked on the specific memory are of the
VPA which could lie within hugepages. In case the pinned page is huge,
we explicitly find the head page of the compound page before calling
put_page() on it.
At least with the latest kernel, this is not correct. put_page() already
handles finding the correct head page of a compound, and also deals with
various counts on the individual tail page which are important for
transparent huge pages. We don't support transparent hugepages on Power,
but even so, bypassing this count maintenance can lead (when the VM ends)
to a hugepage being released back to the pool with a non-zero mapcount on
one of the tail pages. This can then lead to a bad_page() when the page
is released from the hugepage pool.
This removes the explicit compound_head() call to correct this bug.

This reverts commit 785f857d1cb0856b612b46a0545b74aa2596e44a.
The commit causes a problem with the wrong D3 state after suspend
because the call of hda_set_power_state() involves with the power-up
sequence, which changes the power_count, and this confuses the resume
sequence that checks the power_count as well.
Originally, this go-to-D3 sequence should be a simple task without the
power-up sequence. But, it'd need some proper sanity checks in the
case of power-saved state, so it's not too easy to write now in the
3.4-rc cycle.
In short, the safest option now is to revert this affecting commit.
Of course, we need to clean up and robustify the power-saving code
better for 3.5 kernel.

Neither compare_ether_addr() nor compare_ether_addr_64bits()
(as it can fall back to the former) have comparison semantics
like memcmp() where the sign of the return value indicates sort
order. We had a bug in the wireless code due to a blind memcmp
replacement because of this.
A cursory look suggests that the wireless bug was the only one
due to this semantic difference.

If I try to do "cat /sys/kernel/debug/kernel_page_tables"
I end up with:
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffc7fffffff000

RDX: 0000800000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffffc7fffffff000
which is due to the fact we are trying to access a PFN that is not
accessible to us. The reason (at least in this case) was that
PGD[256] is set to __HYPERVISOR_VIRT_START which was setup (by the
hypervisor) to point to a read-only linear map of the MFN->PFN array.
During our parsing we would get the MFN (a valid one), try to look
it up in the MFN->PFN tree and find it invalid and return ~0 as PFN.
Then pte_mfn_to_pfn would happilly feed that in, attach the flags
and return it back to the caller. 'ptdump_show' bitshifts it and
gets and invalid value that it tries to dereference.
Instead of doing all of that, we detect the ~0 case and just
return !_PAGE_PRESENT.
This bug has been in existence .. at least until 2.6.37 (yikes!)

On x86_64 on AMD machines where the first APIC_ID is not zero, we get:
ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x01] lapic_id[0x10] enabled)
BIOS bug: APIC version is 0 for CPU 1/0x10, fixing up to 0x10
BIOS bug: APIC version mismatch, boot CPU: 0, CPU 1: version 10
which means that when the ACPI processor driver loads and
tries to parse the _Pxx states it fails to do as, as it
ends up calling acpi_get_cpuid which does this:
for_each_possible_cpu(i) {
if (cpu_physical_id(i) == apic_id)
return i;
}
And the bootup CPU, has not been found so it fails and returns -1
for the first CPU - which then subsequently in the loop that
"acpi_processor_get_info" does results in returning an error, which
means that "acpi_processor_add" failing and per_cpu(processor)
is never set (and is NULL).
That means that when xen-acpi-processor tries to load (much much
later on) and parse the P-states it gets -ENODEV from
acpi_processor_register_performance() (which tries to read
the per_cpu(processor)) and fails to parse the data.

Some RNDIS devices include a bogus CDC Union descriptor pointing
to non-existing interfaces. The RNDIS code is already prepared
to handle devices without a CDC Union descriptor by hardwiring
the driver to use interfaces 0 and 1, which is correct for the
devices with the bogus descriptor as well. So we can reuse the
existing workaround.

This is a bug fix for an "interface fails to load" issue.
The issue occurs when bnx2x driver loads after UNDI driver was previously
loaded over the chip. In such a scenario the UNDI driver is loaded and operates
in the pre-boot kernel, within its own specific host memory address range.
When the pre-boot stage is complete, the real kernel is loaded, in a new and
distinct host memory address range. The transition from pre-boot stage to boot
is asynchronous from UNDI point of view.
A race condition occurs when UNDI driver triggers a DMAE transaction to valid
host addresses in the pre-boot stage, when control is diverted to the real
kernel. This results in access to illegal addresses by our HW as the addresses
which were valid in the preboot stage are no longer considered valid.
Specifically, the 'was_error' bit in the pci glue of our device is set. This
causes all following pci transactions from chip to host to timeout (in
accordance to the pci spec).

It turned to be totally unneeded. The reason the code was introduced is
so that KVM can prefault swapped in page, but prefault can fail even
if mm is pinned since page table can change anyway. KVM handles this
situation correctly though and does not inject spurious page faults.
Fixes:

If vcpu executes hlt instruction while async PF is waiting to be delivered
vcpu can block and deliver async PF only after another even wakes it
up. This happens because kvm_check_async_pf_completion() will remove
completion event from vcpu->async_pf.done before entering kvm_vcpu_block()
and this will make kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable() return false. The solution
is to make vcpu runnable when processing completion.

verify_parent_transid needs to lock the extent range to make
sure no IO is underway, and so it can safely clear the
uptodate bits if our checks fail.
But, a few callers are using it with spinlocks held. Most
of the time, the generation numbers are going to match, and
we don't want to switch to a blocking lock just for the error
case. This adds an atomic flag to verify_parent_transid,
and changes it to return EAGAIN if it needs to block to
properly verifiy things.

Commit 4e8ee7de227e3ab9a72040b448ad728c5428a042 (ARM: SMP: use
idmap_pgd for mapping MMU enable during secondary booting)
switched secondary boot to use idmap_pgd, which is initialized
during early_initcall, instead of a page table initialized during
__cpu_up. This causes idmap_pgd to contain the static mappings
but be missing all dynamic mappings.
If a console is registered that creates a dynamic mapping, the
printk in secondary_start_kernel will trigger a data abort on
the missing mapping before the exception handlers have been
initialized, leading to a hang. Initial boot is not affected
because no consoles have been registered, and resume is usually
not affected because the offending console is suspended.
Onlining a cpu with hotplug triggers the problem.
A workaround is to the printk in secondary_start_kernel until
after the page tables have been switched back to init_mm.

The test in pdc_console_tty_close '!tty->count' was always wrong
because tty->count is decremented after tty->ops->close is called and
thus can never be zero. Hence the 'then' branch was never executed and
the timer never deleted.
This did not matter until commit 5dd5bc40f3b6 ("TTY: pdc_cons, use
tty_port"). There we needed to set TTY in tty_port to NULL, but this
never happened due to the bug above.
So change the test to really trigger at the last close by changing the
condition to 'tty->count == 1'.
Well, the driver should not touch tty->count at all. It should use
tty_port->count and count open count there itself.

Currently, we'll try mounting any device who's major device number is
UNNAMED_MAJOR as NFS root. This would happen for non-NFS devices as
well (such as 9p devices) but it wouldn't cause any issues since
mounting the device as NFS would fail quickly and the code proceeded to
doing the proper mount:
[ 101.522716] VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.
[ 101.534499] VFS: Mounted root (9p filesystem) on device 0:18.
Commit 6829a048102a ("NFS: Retry mounting NFSROOT") introduced retries
when mounting NFS root, which means that now we don't immediately fail
and instead it takes an additional 90+ seconds until we stop retrying,
which has revealed the issue this patch fixes.
This meant that it would take an additional 90 seconds to boot when
we're not using a device type which gets detected in order before NFS.
This patch modifies the NFS type check to require device type to be
'Root_NFS' instead of requiring the device to have an UNNAMED_MAJOR
major. This makes boot process cleaner since we now won't go through
the NFS mounting code at all when the device isn't an NFS root
("/dev/nfs").

The ARM audit code incorrectly uses the saved application ip register

libc corruption if ip is live (apparently glibc uses it for the TLS

This patch fixes the syscall tracing code so that the why parameter is
used to infer the syscall direction and the saved ip is only updated if

The inline assembly in kernel_execve() uses r8 and r9. Since this
code sequence does not return, it usually doesn't matter if the
register clobber list is accurate. However, I saw a case where a
particular version of gcc used r8 as an intermediate for the value
eventually passed to r9. Because r8 is used in the inline
assembly, and not mentioned in the clobber list, r9 was set
to an incorrect value.
This resulted in a kernel panic on execution of the first user-space
program in the system. r9 is used in ret_to_user as the thread_info
pointer, and if it's wrong, bad things happen.

Before this patch, ACPI_STATE_D3 incorrectly referenced D3hot
in some places, but D3cold in other places.
After this patch, ACPI_STATE_D3 always means ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD;
and all references to D3hot use ACPI_STATE_D3_HOT.
ACPI's _PR3 method is used to enter both D3hot and D3cold states.
What distinguishes D3hot from D3cold is the presence _PR3
(Power Resources for D3hot) If these resources are all ON,
then the state is D3hot. If _PR3 is not present,
or all _PR0 resources for the devices are OFF,
then the state is D3cold.
This patch applies after Linux-3.4-rc1.
A future syntax cleanup may remove ACPI_STATE_D3
to emphasize that it always means ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD.

Remove myself as cpufreq maintainer.
x86 driver changes can go through the regular x86/ACPI trees.
ARM driver changes through the ARM trees.
cpufreq core changes are rare these days, and can just go to lkml/direct.

The normal read_seqcount_begin() function will wait for any current
writers to exit their critical region by looping until the sequence
count is even.
That "wait for sequence count to stabilize" is the right thing to do if
the read-locker will just retry the whole operation on contention: no
point in doing a potentially expensive reader sequence if we know at the
beginning that we'll just end up re-doing it all.
HOWEVER. Some users don't actually retry the operation, but instead
will abort and do the operation with proper locking. So the sequence
count case may be the optimistic quick case, but in the presense of
writers you may want to do full locking in order to guarantee forward
progress. The prime example of this would be the RCU name lookup.
And in that case, you may well be better off without the "retry early",
and are in a rush to instead get to the failure handling. Thus this
"raw" interface that just returns the sequence number without testing it
- it just forces the low bit to zero so that read_seqcount_retry() will
always fail such a "active concurrent writer" scenario.

We really need to use a ACCESS_ONCE() on the sequence value read in
__read_seqcount_begin(), because otherwise the compiler might end up
reloading the value in between the test and the return of it. As a
result, it might end up returning an odd value (which means that a write
is in progress).
If the reader is then fast enough that that odd value is still the
current one when the read_seqcount_retry() is done, we might end up with
a "successful" read sequence, even despite the concurrent write being
active.
In practice this probably never really happens - there just isn't
anything else going on around the read of the sequence count, and the
common case is that we end up having a read barrier immediately
afterwards.
So the code sequence in which gcc might decide to reaload from memory is
small, and there's no reason to believe it would ever actually do the
reload. But if the compiler ever were to decide to do so, it would be
incredibly annoying to debug. Let's just make sure.
