2010-12-29spi/fsl_espi: change the read behaviour of the SPIRFMingkai Hu1-3/+16
The user must read N bytes of SPIRF (1 <= N <= 4) that do not exceed the amount of data in the receive FIFO, so read the SPIRF byte by byte when the data in receive FIFO is less than 4 bytes. On Simics, when read N bytes that exceed the amout of data in receive FIFO, we can't read the data out, that is we can't clear the rx FIFO, then the CPU will loop on the espi rx interrupt.

2010-12-17arch/tile: handle rt_sigreturn() more cleanlyChris Metcalf4-13/+29
The current tile rt_sigreturn() syscall pattern uses the common idiom of loading up pt_regs with all the saved registers from the time of the signal, then anticipating the fact that we will clobber the ABI "return value" register (r0) as we return from the syscall by setting the rt_sigreturn return value to whatever random value was in the pt_regs for r0. However, this breaks in our 64-bit kernel when running "compat" tasks, since we always sign-extend the "return value" register to properly handle returned pointers that are in the upper 2GB of the 32-bit compat address space. Doing this to the sigreturn path then causes occasional random corruption of the 64-bit r0 register. Instead, we stop doing the crazy "load the return-value register" hack in sigreturn. We already have some sigreturn-specific assembly code that we use to pass the pt_regs pointer to C code. We extend that code to also set the link register to point to a spot a few instructions after the usual syscall return address so we don't clobber the saved r0. Now it no longer matters what the rt_sigreturn syscall returns, and the pt_regs structure can be cleanly and completely reloaded. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <[email protected]>
2010-12-17arch/tile: handle CLONE_SETTLS in copy_thread(), not user spaceChris Metcalf1-0/+8
Previously we were just setting up the "tp" register in the new task as started by clone() in libc. However, this is not quite right, since in principle a signal might be delivered to the new task before it had its TLS set up. (Of course, this race window still exists for resetting the libc getpid() cached value in the new task, in principle. But in any case, we are now doing this exactly the way all other architectures do it.) This change is important for 2.6.37 since the tile glibc we will be submitting upstream will not set TLS in user space any more, so it will only work on a kernel that has this fix. It should also be taken for 2.6.36.x in the stable tree if possible. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <[email protected]> Cc: stable <[email protected]>

Fix a regression where bttv driver causes oopses when loading, since it were using some non-initialized mutexes. While it would be possible to fix the issue, there are some other lock troubles, like to the presence of lock code at free_btres_lock(). It is possible to fix, but the better is to just use the core-assisted locking schema. This way, V4L2 core will serialize access to all ioctl's/open/close/mmap/read/poll operations, avoiding to have two processes accessing the hardware at the same time. Also, as there's just one lock, instead of 3, there's no risk of dead locks. The net result is a cleaner code, with just one lock.

The experiment described here shows Windows 7 ignoring the last 1MB: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23542#c27 This patch ignores the top 2MB instead of just 1MB because H.

2010-12-17x86: avoid E820 regions when allocating address spaceBjorn Helgaas1-1/+37
When we allocate address space, e.g., to assign it to a PCI device, don't allocate anything mentioned in the BIOS E820 memory map. On recent machines (2008 and newer), we assign PCI resources from the windows described by the ACPI PCI host bridge _CRS. On many Dell machines, these windows overlap some E820 reserved areas, e.g., BIOS-e820: 00000000bfe4dc00 - 00000000c0000000 (reserved) pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0xbff00000-0xdfffffff] If we put devices at 0xbff00000, they don't work, probably because that's really RAM, not I/O memory. This patch prevents that by removing the 0xbfe4dc00-0xbfffffff area from the "available" resource. I'm not very happy with this solution because Windows solves the problem differently (it seems to ignore E820 reserved areas and it allocates top-down instead of bottom-up; details at comment 45 of the bugzilla below). That means we're vulnerable to BIOS defects that Windows would not trip over. For example, if BIOS described a device in ACPI but didn't mention it in E820, Windows would work fine but Linux would fail. Reference: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16228 Acked-by: H.

2010-12-17x86: avoid low BIOS area when allocating address spaceBjorn Helgaas3-3/+12
This implements arch_remove_reservations() so allocate_resource() can avoid any arch-specific reserved areas. This currently just avoids the BIOS area (the first 1MB), but could be used for E820 reserved areas if that turns out to be necessary. We previously avoided this area in pcibios_align_resource(). This patch moves the test from that PCI-specific path to a generic path, so *all* resource allocations will avoid this area. Acked-by: H.

2010-12-17resources: add arch hook for preventing allocation in reserved areasBjorn Helgaas2-0/+7
This adds arch_remove_reservations(), which an arch can implement if it needs to protect part of the address space from allocation. Sometimes that can be done by just putting a region in the resource tree, but there are cases where that doesn't work well. For example, x86 BIOS E820 reservations are not related to devices, so they may overlap part of, all of, or more than a device resource, so they may not end up at the correct spot in the resource tree.
