commit e8d8fc219f9a0e63e7fb927881e6f4db8e7d34df upstream.
I still see the occasional random segv on rp3440. Looking at one of
these (a code 15), it appeared the problem must be with the cache
handling of anonymous pages. Reviewing this, I noticed that the space
register %sr1 might be being clobbered when we flush an anonymous page.
Register %sr1 is used for TLB purges in a couple of places. These
purges are needed on PA8800 and PA8900 processors to ensure cache
consistency of flushed cache lines.
The solution here is simply to move the %sr1 load into the TLB lock
region needed to ensure that one purge executes at a time on SMP
systems. This was already the case for one use. After a few days of
operation, I haven't had a random segv on my rp3440.

commit 0f8f8094d28eb53368ac09186ea6b3a324cc7d44 upstream.
Some architectures (e.g. powerpc built with CONFIG_PPC_256K_PAGES=y
CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER=11) get PAGE_SHIFT + MAX_ORDER > 26.
In 3.10 kernels, CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y with PAGE_SHIFT + MAX_ORDER > 26 makes
init_lock_keys() dereference beyond kmalloc_caches[26].
This leads to an unbootable system (kernel panic at initializing SLAB)
if one of kmalloc_caches[26...PAGE_SHIFT+MAX_ORDER-1] is not NULL.
Fix this by making sure that init_lock_keys() does not dereference beyond
kmalloc_caches[26] arrays.

commit 5b879d78bc0818aa710f5d4d9abbfc2aca075cc3 upstream.
When running the LTP testsuite one may hit this kernel BUG() with the

Reason for this crash is a gcc miscompilation in the fault handlers of
pa_memcpy() which return the fault address instead of the copied bytes.
Since this seems to be a generic problem with gcc-4.7.x (and below), it's
better to simplify the fault handlers in pa_memcpy to avoid this problem.
Here is a simple reproducer for the problem:
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int fd, nbytes;
struct iovec wr_iovec[] = {
{ "TEST STRING ",32},
{ (char*)0x40005000,32} }; // random memory.
fd = open(DATA_FILE, O_RDWR | O_CREAT, 0666);
nbytes = writev(fd, wr_iovec, 2);
printf("return value = %d, errno %d (%s)\n",
nbytes, errno, strerror(errno));
return 0;
}
In addition, John David Anglin wrote:
There is no gcc PR as pa_memcpy is not legitimate C code. There is an
implicit assumption that certain variables will contain correct values
when an exception occurs and the code randomly jumps to one of the
exception blocks. There is no guarantee of this. If a PR was filed, it
would likely be marked as invalid.

commit 14611e51a57df10240817d8ada510842faf0ec51 upstream.
task->cgroups is a RCU pointer pointing to struct css_set. A task
switches to a different css_set on cgroup migration but a css_set
doesn't change once created and its pointers to cgroup_subsys_states
aren't RCU protected.
task_subsys_state[_check]() is the macro to acquire css given a task
and subsys_id pair. It RCU-dereferences task->cgroups->subsys[] not
task->cgroups, so the RCU pointer task->cgroups ends up being
dereferenced without read_barrier_depends() after it. It's broken.
Fix it by introducing task_css_set[_check]() which does
RCU-dereference on task->cgroups. task_subsys_state[_check]() is
reimplemented to directly dereference ->subsys[] of the css_set
returned from task_css_set[_check]().
This removes some of sparse RCU warnings in cgroup.
v2: Fixed unbalanced parenthsis and there's no need to use
rcu_dereference_raw() when !CONFIG_PROVE_RCU. Both spotted by Li.

commit 39c04153fda8c32e85b51c96eb5511a326ad7609 upstream.
Once we decrement transaction->t_updates, if this is the last handle
holding the transaction from closing, and once we release the
t_handle_lock spinlock, it's possible for the transaction to commit
and be released. In practice with normal kernels, this probably won't
happen, since the commit happens in a separate kernel thread and it's
unlikely this could all happen within the space of a few CPU cycles.
On the other hand, with a real-time kernel, this could potentially
happen, so save the tid found in transaction->t_tid before we release
t_handle_lock. It would require an insane configuration, such as one
where the jbd2 thread was set to a very high real-time priority,
perhaps because a high priority real-time thread is trying to read or
write to a file system. But some people who use real-time kernels
have been known to do insane things, including controlling
laser-wielding industrial robots. :-)

Some of the functions which modify the jbd2 superblock were not
updating the checksum before calling jbd2_write_superblock(). Move
the call to jbd2_superblock_csum_set() to jbd2_write_superblock(), so

Among other things, the following:
commit 31160d7feab786c991780d7f0ce2755a469e0e5e
Date: Tue Jan 8 16:22:36 2013 -0500
perf tools: Fix GNU make v3.80 compatibility issue
attempts to aid the user by tapping into an existing error message,
as described in the commit message:
... Also fix an issue where _get_attempt was called with only
one argument. This prevented the error message from printing
the name of the variable that can be used to fix the problem.
or more precisely:
-$(if $($(1)),$(call _ge_attempt,$($(1)),$(1)),$(call _ge_attempt,$(2)))
+$(if $($(1)),$(call _ge_attempt,$($(1)),$(1)),$(call _ge_attempt,$(2),$(1)))
However, The "missing" argument was in fact missing on purpose; it's
absence is a signal that the error message should be skipped, because
the failure would be due to the default value, not any user-supplied
value. This can be seen in how `_ge_attempt' uses `gea_err' (in the
config/utilities.mak file):
_ge_attempt = $(if $(get-executable),$(get-executable),$(_gea_warn)$(call _gea_err,$(2)))
_gea_warn = $(warning The path '$(1)' is not executable.)
_gea_err = $(if $(1),$(error Please set '$(1)' appropriately))
That is, because the argument is no longer missing, the value `$(1)'
(associated with `_gea_err') always evaluates to true, thus always
triggering the error condition that is meant to be reserved for
only the case when a user explicitly supplies an invalid value.
Concretely, the result is a regression in the Makefile's configuration
of python support; rather than gracefully disable support when the
relevant executables cannot be found according to default values, the
build process halts in error as though the user explicitly supplied
the values.
This new commit simply reverts the offending one-line change.

When declaring char name[9] = "cluster";
name[7] is equal to the string termination character '\0'.
But later on doing:
name[7] = cluster_id + '0';
clobbers the termination character, leaving non terminated
strings in the system and potentially causing undertermined
behavior.
By initialising name[9] to "clusterX" the 8th character is
set to '\0' and affecting the 7th character with the cluster

on/off
When a cpu goes down, exit would be called for it. Similarly for every cpu up
init would be called. This would result in same freq table and clk structure to
get freed/allocated again. There is no way for freq table/clk structures to
change between these calls.
Also, when we disable switcher, firstly cpufreq unregister would be called and
hence exit for all cpus and then register would be called, i.e. init would be
called.
For saving time/energy for both cases, lets not free table/clk until module exit
is not done.

cpufreq_stat has registered notifiers with both cpufreq and cpu core. It adds
cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats/ directory with a notifier of cpufreq CPUFREQ_NOTIFY and
removes this directory with a notifier to cpu core.
On bL_switcher enable/disable, cpufreq drivers notifiers gets called and they
call cpufreq_unregister(), followed by cpufreq_register(). For unregister stats
directories per cpu aren't removed, because cpu never went to dead state and cpu
notifier isn't called.
When cpufreq_register() is called, we try to add these directories again and
that simply fails, as directories were already present.
Fix these issues by registering cpufreq_stats too with bL_switcher notifiers, so
that they get unregistered and registered on switcher enable/disable.

fbcon uses workqueues and it has no real dependency of scheduling these on the
cpu which scheduled them.
On a idle system, it is observed that and idle cpu wakes up many times just to
service this work. It would be better if we can schedule it on a cpu which the
scheduler believes to be the most appropriate one.

On a idle system, it is observed that and idle cpu wakes up many times just to
service this work. It would be better if we can schedule it on a cpu which the
scheduler believes to be the most appropriate one.
This patch replaces normal workqueues with power efficient versions.

This patch replaces system_wq with system_power_efficient_wq for PHYLIB.

This patch adds system wide workqueues aligned towards power saving. This is
done by allocating them with WQ_UNBOUND flag if 'wq_power_efficient' is set to
'true'.
tj: updated comments a bit.

Workqueues can be performance or power-oriented. Currently, most workqueues are
bound to the CPU they were created on. This gives good performance (due to cache
effects) at the cost of potentially waking up otherwise idle cores (Idle from
scheduler's perspective. Which may or may not be physically idle) just to
process some work. To save power, we can allow the work to be rescheduled on a
core that is already awake.
Workqueues created with the WQ_UNBOUND flag will allow some power savings.
However, we don't change the default behaviour of the system. To enable
power-saving behaviour, a new config option CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT needs to
be turned on. This option can also be overridden by the
workqueue.power_efficient boot parameter.
tj: Updated config description and comments. Renamed
CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT to CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT_DEFAULT.
