If the DPLL is already enabled, don't try to enable it again.
Since write to the DPLL control register will make the DPLL
reset and which will cause some issues when some child module
are sourced from this DPLL.

The loop around lookup_one_len doesn't handle the case where it might
return a negative dentry, which can cause an oops on the next pass
through the loop. Check for that and break out of the loop with an

When support for binding to 'mapped INADDR_ANY (::ffff.0.0.0.0)' was added
in 0f8d3c7ac3693d7b6c731bf2159273a59bf70e12 the rest of the code
wasn't told so now it's possible to bind IPv6 datagram socket to
::ffff.0.0.0.0, connect it to another IPv4 address and it will all
work except for getsockhame() which does not return the local address
as expected.
To give getsockname() something to work with check for 'mapped INADDR_ANY'
when connecting and update the in-core source addresses appropriately.

The sendmmsg() introduced by commit 228e548e "net: Add sendmmsg socket system
call" is capable of sending to multiple different destination addresses.
SMACK is using destination's address for checking sendmsg() permission.
However, security_socket_sendmsg() is called for only once even if multiple
different destination addresses are passed to sendmmsg().
Therefore, we need to call security_socket_sendmsg() for each destination
address rather than only the first destination address.
Since calling security_socket_sendmsg() every time when only single destination
address was passed to sendmmsg() is a waste of time, omit calling
security_socket_sendmsg() unless destination address of previous datagram and
that of current datagram differs.

To limit the amount of time we can spend in sendmmsg, cap the
number of elements to UIO_MAXIOV (currently 1024).
For error handling an application using sendmmsg needs to retry at
the first unsent message, so capping is simpler and requires less
application logic than returning EINVAL.

sendmmsg uses a similar error return strategy as recvmmsg but it
turns out to be a confusing way to communicate errors.
The current code stores the error code away and returns it on the next
sendmmsg call. This means a call with completely valid arguments could
get an error from a previous call.
Change things so we only return an error if no datagrams could be sent.
If less than the requested number of messages were sent, the application
must retry starting at the first failed one and if the problem is
persistent the error will be returned.
This matches the behaviour of other syscalls like read/write - it
is not an error if less than the requested number of elements are sent.

This isn't really critical any more, since other patches (commit
298507d4d2cf: "shm: optimize exit_shm()") have caused us to not actually
need to touch the rw_mutex unless there are actual shm segments
associated with the namespace, but we really should do tne shm_init_ns()
earlier than we do now.
This, together with commit 288d5abec831 ("Boot up with usermodehelper
disabled") will mean that we really do initialize the initial ipc
namespace data structure before we run any tasks.

Recent versions of firmware will fail to unmap the virtual processor
area if we have a dispatch trace log registered. This causes kexec
to fail.
If a trace log is registered this patch unregisters it before the
SLB shadow and virtual processor areas, fixing the problem.
The address argument is ignored by firmware on unregister so we
may as well remove it.

KVM_GUEST adds a 1 MB array to the kernel (kvm_tmp) which grew

We are seeing boot failures on some very large boxes even with
commit b5416ca9f824 (powerpc: Move kdump default base address to
64MB on 64bit).
This patch halves the RMO so both kernels get about the same
amount of RMO memory. On large machines this region will be
at least 256MB, so each kernel will get 128MB.
We cap it at 256MB (small SLB size) since some early allocations need
to be in the bolted SLB region. We could relax this on machines with
1TB SLBs in a future patch.

A page fault occurred walking the callchain while creating a perf
sample for the context-switch event. To handle the page fault the
mmap_sem is needed, but it is currently held by setup_arg_pages.
(setup_arg_pages calls shift_arg_pages with the mmap_sem held.
shift_arg_pages then calls move_page_tables which has a cond_resched
at the top of its for loop - hitting that cond_resched is what caused
the context switch.)
This is an extension of Anton's proposed patch:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/24/151
adding case for 32-bit ppc.
Tested on the system that first generated the panic and then again
with latest kernel using a PPC VM. I am not able to test the 64-bit
path - I do not have H/W for it and 64-bit PPC VMs (qemu on Intel)
is horribly slow.

I hit an oops at boot on the first instruction of timer_cpu_notify:
NIP [c000000000722f88] .timer_cpu_notify+0x0/0x388
The code should look like:
c000000000722f78: eb e9 00 30 ld r31,48(r9)
c000000000722f7c: 2f bf 00 00 cmpdi cr7,r31,0
c000000000722f80: 40 9e ff 44 bne+ cr7,c000000000722ec4
c000000000722f84: 4b ff ff 74 b c000000000722ef8
c000000000722f88 <.timer_cpu_notify>:
c000000000722f88: 7c 08 02 a6 mflr r0
c000000000722f8c: 2f a4 00 07 cmpdi cr7,r4,7
c000000000722f90: fb c1 ff f0 std r30,-16(r1)
c000000000722f94: fb 61 ff d8 std r27,-40(r1)
But the oops output shows:
eb61ffd8 eb81ffe0 eba1ffe8 ebc1fff0 7c0803a6 ebe1fff8 4e800020
00000000 ebe90030 c0000000 00ad0a28 00000000 2fa40007 fbc1fff0 fb61ffd8
So we scribbled over our instructions with c000000000ad0a28, which
is an address inside the jump_table ELF section.
It turns out the jump_table section is only aligned to 8 bytes but
we are aligning our entries within the section to 16 bytes. This
means our entries are offset from the table:
c000000000acd4a8 <__start___jump_table>:
...
c000000000ad0a10: c0 00 00 00 lfs f0,0(0)
c000000000ad0a14: 00 70 cd 5c .long 0x70cd5c
c000000000ad0a18: c0 00 00 00 lfs f0,0(0)
c000000000ad0a1c: 00 70 cd 90 .long 0x70cd90
c000000000ad0a20: c0 00 00 00 lfs f0,0(0)
c000000000ad0a24: 00 ac a4 20 .long 0xaca420
And the jump table sort code gets very confused and writes into the
wrong spot. Remove the alignment, and also remove the padding since
we it saves some space and we shouldn't need it.

I have a box that fails in OF during boot with:

at %SRR0: 49424d2c4c6f6768 %SRR1: 800000004000b002
ie "IBM,Logh". OF got corrupted with a device tree string.
Looking at make_room and alloc_up, we claim the first chunk (1 MB)
but we never claim any more. mem_end is always set to alloc_top
which is the top of our available address space, guaranteeing we will
never call alloc_up and claim more memory.
Also alloc_up wasn't setting alloc_bottom to the bottom of the
available address space.
This doesn't help the box to boot, but we at least fail with
an obvious error. We could relocate the device tree in a future

Commit af9eef3c7b1ed004c378c89b87642f4937337d50 caused cpu_setup to see
the_cpu_spec, rather than the source struct. However, on 32-bit, the
return value of identify_cpu was being used for feature fixups, and
identify_cpu was returning the source struct. So if cpu_setup patches
the feature bits, the update won't affect the fixups.

Add a cast in case the caller passes in a different type, as it would
if mtspr/mtmsr were functions.
Previously, if a 64-bit type was passed in on 32-bit, GCC would bind the
constraint to a pair of registers, and would substitute the first register
in the pair in the asm code. This corresponds to the upper half of the
64-bit register, which is generally not the desired behavior.

selector is __USER_CS. This is not true on Xen -- Xen's sysretq
changes cs to the magic value 0xe033.
Two of the places are corner cases, but as of "x86-64: Improve
vsyscall emulation CS and RIP handling"
(c9712944b2a12373cb6ff8059afcfb7e826a6c54), vsyscalls will segfault
if called with Xen's extra CS selector. This causes a panic when
older init builds die.
It seems impossible to make Xen use __USER_CS reliably without
taking a performance hit on every system call, so this fixes the
tests instead with a new paravirt op. It's a little ugly because
ptrace.h can't include paravirt.h.

Xen needs to handle VVAR_PAGE, introduced in git commit:
9fd67b4ed0714ab718f1f9bd14c344af336a6df7
x86-64: Give vvars their own page
Otherwise we die during bootup with a message like:

Gold has trouble assigning numbers to the location counter inside of
an output section description. The bug was triggered by
9fd67b4ed0714ab718f1f9bd14c344af336a6df7, which consolidated all of
the vsyscall sections into a single section. The workaround is IMO
still nicer than the old way of doing it.
This produces an apparently valid kernel image and passes my vdso
tests on both GNU ld version 2.21.51.0.6-2.fc15 20110118 and GNU
gold (version 2.21.51.0.6-2.fc15 20110118) 1.10 as distributed by
Fedora 15.

The kernel's loader doesn't seem to care, but gold complains.
