As reported by Flavio Leitner, there is no synchronization to protect
NIU's get_stats method from seeing a NULL pointer in either
np->rx_rings or np->tx_rings. In fact, as far as ->ndo_get_stats
is concerned, these values are set completely asynchronously.
Flavio attempted to fix this using a RW semaphore, which in fact
works most of the time. However, dev_get_stats() can be invoked
from non-sleepable contexts in some cases, so this fix doesn't
work in all cases.
So instead, control the visibility of the np->{rx,tx}_ring pointers
when the device is being brough up, and use properties of the device
down sequence to our advantage.
In niu_get_stats(), return immediately if netif_running() is false.
The device shutdown sequence first marks the device as not running (by
clearing the __LINK_STATE_START bit), then it performans a
synchronize_rcu() (in dev_deactive_many()), and then finally it
invokes the driver ->ndo_stop() method.
This guarentees that all invocations of niu_get_stats() either see
netif_running() as false, or they see the channel pointers before
->ndo_stop() clears them out.
If netif_running() is true, protect against startup races by loading
the np->{rx,tx}_rings pointer into a local variable, and punting if
it is NULL. Use ACCESS_ONCE to prevent the compiler from reloading
the pointer on us.
Also, during open, control the order in which the pointers and the
ring counts become visible globally using SMP write memory barriers.
We make sure the np->num_{rx,tx}_rings value is stable and visible
before np->{rx,tx}_rings is.
Such visibility control is not necessary on the niu_free_channels()
side because of the RCU sequencing that happens during device down as
described above. We are always guarenteed that all niu_get_stats
calls are finished, or will see netif_running() false, by the time
->ndo_stop is invoked.

We previously used a static array, but some new systems
had more states then we had array space, so dynamically
allocate space based on the number of states in the vbios.

Some BIOSs (eg. the AMI BIOS on the Asus P4P800 motherboard) don't
initialise the GART address, and pcibios_assign_resources() can ignore it
because it can be marked as a host bridge (see
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24392#c5 for details). This
was handled correctly up to 2.6.35, but the pci_enable_device() cleanup in
2.6.36 96576a9e1a0cdb8 ("agp: intel-agp: do not use PCI resources before
pci_enable_device()") means that the kernel tries to enable the GART
before assigning it an address; in such cases the GART overlaps with other
device assignments and ends up being disabled.
This patch fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24392
Note that I imagine efficeon-agp.c probably has the same problem, but
I can't test that and I'd like to make sure this patch is suitable for
-stable (since 2.6.36 and 2.6.37 are affected).

This reverts commit f191f144079b0083c6fa7d01a4acbd7263fb5032.
The AMD 751 and 761 chipsets are used on the UP1000, UP1100, and UP1500
OEM motherboards, but they neglect to do anything to make AGP work.
According to Ivan Kokshaysky:
There is quite fundamental conflict between the Alpha architecture and
x86 AGP implementation - Alpha is entirely cache coherent by design,
while x86 AGP is not (I mean native AGP DMA transactions, not a PCI over
AGP). There are no such things as non-cacheable mappings or software
support for cache flushing/invalidation on Alpha, so x86 AGP code won't
work on Nautilus.
So there's no point in allowing this driver to be configured on Alpha.

The RX lock is used to protect the RX buffer from concurrent access in DMA
mode between the timer and RX interrupt routines. It is independent from
the uart lock which is used to protect the TX buffer. It is possible for
a uart TX transfer to be started up from the RX interrupt handler if low
latency is enabled. So we need to split the locks to avoid deadlocking in
this situation.
In PIO mode, the RX lock is not necessary because the handle_simple_irq
and handle_level_irq functions ensure driver interrupt handlers are called
once on one core.
And now that the RX path has its own lock, the TX interrupt has nothing to
do with the RX path, so disabling it at the same time.

switching mm
Clearing the cpu in prev's mm_cpumask early will avoid the flush tlb
IPI's while the cr3 is still pointing to the prev mm. And this window
can lead to the possibility of bogus TLB fills resulting in strange
failures. One such problematic scenario is mentioned below.
T1. CPU-1 is context switching from mm1 to mm2 context and got a NMI
etc between the point of clearing the cpu from the mm_cpumask(mm1)
and before reloading the cr3 with the new mm2.
T2. CPU-2 is tearing down a specific vma for mm1 and will proceed with
flushing the TLB for mm1. It doesn't send the flush TLB to CPU-1
as it doesn't see that cpu listed in the mm_cpumask(mm1).
T3. After the TLB flush is complete, CPU-2 goes ahead and frees the
page-table pages associated with the removed vma mapping.
T4. CPU-2 now allocates those freed page-table pages for something
else.
T5. As the CR3 and TLB caches for mm1 is still active on CPU-1, CPU-1
can potentially speculate and walk through the page-table caches
and can insert new TLB entries. As the page-table pages are
already freed and being used on CPU-2, this page walk can
potentially insert a bogus global TLB entry depending on the
(random) contents of the page that is being used on CPU-2.
T6. This bogus TLB entry being global will be active across future CR3
changes and can result in weird memory corruption etc.
To avoid this issue, for the prev mm that is handing over the cpu to
another mm, clear the cpu from the mm_cpumask(prev) after the cr3 is
changed.
Marking it for -stable, though we haven't seen any reported failure that
can be attributed to this.

Some rtc drivers use the ioctl method instead of the alarm_irq_enable
method for enabling alarm interupts. With the new virtualized RTC
rework, its important for drivers to use the alarm_irq_enable instead.
This patch converts the drivers that use the AIE ioctl method to
use the alarm_irq_enable method. Other ioctl cmds are left untouched.
I have not been able to test or even compile most of these drivers.
Any help to make sure this change is correct would be appreciated!

Some RTC drivers enable functionality directly via their ioctl method
instead of using the generic ioctl handling code. With the recent
virtualization of the RTC layer, its now important that the generic
layer always be used.
This patch moved the rtc driver ioctl method call to after the generic
ioctl processing is done. This allows hardware specific features or
ioctls to still function, while relying on the generic code for handling
everything else.
This patch on its own may more obviously break rtc drivers that
implement the alarm irq enablement via their ioctl method instead of
implementing the alarm_irq_eanble method. Those drivers will be fixed
in a following patch. Additionaly, those drivers are already likely to
not be functioning reliably without this patch.

Currently the syscall_meta structures for the syscall tracepoints are
placed in the __syscall_metadata section, and at link time, the linker
makes one large array of all these syscall metadata structures. On boot
up, this array is read (much like the initcall sections) and the syscall
data is processed.
The problem is that there is no guarantee that gcc will place complex
structures nicely together in an array format. Two structures in the
same file may be placed awkwardly, because gcc has no clue that they
are suppose to be in an array.
A hack was used previous to force the alignment to 4, to pack the
structures together. But this caused alignment issues with other
architectures (sparc).
Instead of packing the structures into an array, the structures' addresses
are now put into the __syscall_metadata section. As pointers are always the
natural alignment, gcc should always pack them tightly together
(otherwise initcall, extable, etc would also fail).
By having the pointers to the structures in the section, we can still
iterate the trace_events without causing unnecessary alignment problems
with other architectures, or depending on the current behaviour of
gcc that will likely change in the future just to tick us kernel developers
off a little more.
The __syscall_metadata section is also moved into the .init.data section
as it is now only needed at boot up.

Make the tracepoints more robust, making them solid enough to handle compiler
changes by not relying on anything based on compiler-specific behavior with
respect to structure alignment. Implement an approach proposed by David Miller:
use an array of const pointers to refer to the individual structures, and export
this pointer array through the linker script rather than the structures per se.
It will consume 32 extra bytes per tracepoint (24 for structure padding and 8
for the pointers), but are less likely to break due to compiler changes.
History:
commit 7e066fb8 tracepoints: add DECLARE_TRACE() and DEFINE_TRACE()
added the aligned(32) type and variable attribute to the tracepoint structures
to deal with gcc happily aligning statically defined structures on 32-byte
multiples.
One attempt was to use a 8-byte alignment for tracepoint structures by applying
both the variable and type attribute to tracepoint structures definitions and
declarations. It worked fine with gcc 4.5.1, but broke with gcc 4.4.4 and 4.4.5.
The reason is that the "aligned" attribute only specify the _minimum_ alignment
for a structure, leaving both the compiler and the linker free to align on
larger multiples. Because tracepoint.c expects the structures to be placed as an
array within each section, up-alignment cause NULL-pointer exceptions due to the
extra unexpected padding.

commit d0af9eed5aa91b6b7b5049cae69e5ea956fd85c3
Author: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com>

x86, pat/mtrr: Rendezvous all the cpus for MTRR/PAT init
Because of the UP configuration of that platform,
native_smp_prepare_cpus() bailed out (in smp_sanity_check())
before doing the set_mtrr_aps_delayed_init()
Further down the boot path, native_smp_cpus_done() will call the
delayed MTRR initialization for the AP's (mtrr_aps_init()) with
mtrr_aps_delayed_init not set. This resulted in the boot
processor reprogramming its MTRR's to the values seen during the
start of the OS boot. While this is not needed ideally, this
shouldn't have caused any side-effects. This is because the
reprogramming of MTRR's (set_mtrr_state() that gets called via
set_mtrr()) will check if the live register contents are
different from what is being asked to write and will do the actual
write only if they are different.
BP's mtrr state is read during the start of the OS boot and
typically nothing would have changed when we ask to reprogram it
on BP again because of the above scenario on an UP platform. So
on a normal UP platform no reprogramming of BP MTRR MSR's
happens and all is well.
However, on this platform, bios seems to be modifying the fixed
mtrr range registers between the start of OS boot and when we
double check the live registers for reprogramming BP MTRR
registers. And as the live registers are modified, we end up
reprogramming the MTRR's to the state seen during the start of
the OS boot.
During ACPI initialization, something in the bios (probably smi
handler?) don't like this fact and results in a hard lockup.
We didn't see this boot hang issue on this platform before the
commit d0af9eed5aa91b6b7b5049cae69e5ea956fd85c3, because only
the AP's (if any) will program its MTRR's to the value that BP
had at the start of the OS boot.
Fix this issue by checking mtrr_aps_delayed_init before
continuing further in the mtrr_aps_init(). Now, only AP's (if
any) will program its MTRR's to the BP values during boot.

[ By the way, this behavior of the bios modifying MTRR's after the start
of the OS boot is not common and the kernel is not prepared to
handle this situation well. Irrespective of this issue, during
suspend/resume, linux kernel will try to reprogram the BP's MTRR values
to the values seen during the start of the OS boot. So suspend/resume might
be already broken on this platform for all linux kernel versions. ]

This reverts commit 5fdbe44d033d059cc56c2803e6b4dbd8cb4e5e39.
Apparently there exist userspace programs that expect to be able to
"loop back" and distribute to readers events written into
/dev/input/eventX and this change made for the benefit of SysRq
handler broke them. Now that SysRq uses alternative method to suppress
filtering of the events it re-injects we can safely revert this change.

Internally 'disable' the filter when re-injecting Alt-SysRq instead
of relying on input core to suppress delivery of injected events
to the originating handler.
This allows to revert commit 5fdbe44d033d059cc56c2803e6b4dbd8cb4e5e39
which causes problems with existing userspace programs trying to
loopback the events via evdev.

When rebinding a serio driver via sysfs drvctl interface it is
possible for an interrupt to trigger after the disconnect of the
existing driver and before the binding of the new driver. This will
cause the serio interrupt handler to queue a rescan event which will
disconnect the new driver immediately after it is attached.
This change removes pending rescans from the serio event queue after
processing the drvctl request but before releasing the serio mutex.
Reproduction involves issuing a rebind of device port from psmouse
driver to serio_raw driver while generating input to trigger
interrupts. Then checking to see if the corresponding
i8042/serio4/driver is correctly attached to the serio_raw driver
instead of psmouse.

Currently the trace_event structures are placed in the _ftrace_events
section, and at link time, the linker makes one large array of all
the trace_event structures. On boot up, this array is read (much like
the initcall sections) and the events are processed.
The problem is that there is no guarantee that gcc will place complex
structures nicely together in an array format. Two structures in the
same file may be placed awkwardly, because gcc has no clue that they
are suppose to be in an array.
A hack was used previous to force the alignment to 4, to pack the
structures together. But this caused alignment issues with other
architectures (sparc).
Instead of packing the structures into an array, the structures' addresses
are now put into the _ftrace_event section. As pointers are always the
natural alignment, gcc should always pack them tightly together
(otherwise initcall, extable, etc would also fail).
By having the pointers to the structures in the section, we can still
iterate the trace_events without causing unnecessary alignment problems
with other architectures, or depending on the current behaviour of
gcc that will likely change in the future just to tick us kernel developers
off a little more.
The _ftrace_event section is also moved into the .init.data section
as it is now only needed at boot up.

This reverts commit 115e19c53501edc11f730191f7f047736815ae3d.
Apparently setting inode->bdi to one's own sb->s_bdi stops VFS from
sending *read-aheads*. This problem was bisected to this commit. A
revert fixes it. I'll investigate farther why is this happening for the
next Kernel, but for now a revert.
I'm sending to stable@kernel.org as well, since it exists also in
2.6.37. 2.6.36 is good and does not have this patch.

Some filesystems don't deal well with being asked to map less than
blocksize blocks (GFS2 for example). Since we are always mapping at least
blocksize sections anyway, just make sure len is at least as big as a
blocksize so we don't trip up any filesystems. Thanks,
