2009-10-14sh: Use boot_cpu_data for FPU tests in sigcontext paths.Paul Mundt

2009-10-13TI DaVinci EMAC: Clear statistics register properly.Sriram
The mechanism to clear the statistics register is dependent on the status of GMIIEN bit in MAC control register. If the GMIIEN bit is set, the stats registers are write to decrement. If the GMIIEN bit is cleared, the stats registers are plain read/write registers. The stats register clearing operation must take into account the current state of GMIIEN as it can be cleared when the interface is brought down. With existing implementation logic, querying for interface stats when the interface is down, can corrupt the statistics counters. This patch examines the GMIIEN bit status in MAC_CONTROL register before choosing an appropriate mask for clearing stats registers.

After a reboot on an ARM1176 which amounts to a softreset, it has been noted that the ALSA driver does not get registered and the probe fails with the error "aaci-pl041 fpga:04: ac97 read back fail". In the process of reading from a register the SL1TxBusy bit is set indicating that the transceiver is busy and remains so until the default timeout occurs. Set the Power down register 0x26 to an arbitrary value as specified in the PL041 manual (page: 3-18) so that AACISL1TX/AACISL2TX registers take their default state.

2009-10-13tcp: fix tcp_defer_accept to consider the timeoutWilly Tarreau
I was trying to use TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT and noticed that if the client does not talk, the connection is never accepted and remains in SYN_RECV state until the retransmits expire, where it finally is deleted. This is bad when some firewall such as netfilter sits between the client and the server because the firewall sees the connection in ESTABLISHED state while the server will finally silently drop it without sending an RST. This behaviour contradicts the man page which says it should wait only for some time : TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT (since Linux 2.4) Allows a listener to be awakened only when data arrives on the socket. Takes an integer value (seconds), this can bound the maximum number of attempts TCP will make to complete the connection. This option should not be used in code intended to be portable. Also, looking at ipv4/tcp.c, a retransmit counter is correctly computed : case TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT: icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept = 0; if (val > 0) { /* Translate value in seconds to number of * retransmits */ while (icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept < 32 && val > ((TCP_TIMEOUT_INIT / HZ) << icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept)) icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept++; icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept++; } break; ==> rskq_defer_accept is used as a counter of retransmits. But in tcp_minisocks.c, this counter is only checked. And in fact, I have found no location which updates it. So I think that what was intended was to decrease it in tcp_minisocks whenever it is checked, which the trivial patch below does. Signed-off-by: Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-10-13x86/paravirt: Use normal calling sequences for irq enable/disableJeremy Fitzhardinge
Bastian Blank reported a boot crash with stackprotector enabled, and debugged it back to edx register corruption. For historical reasons irq enable/disable/save/restore had special calling sequences to make them more efficient. With the more recent introduction of higher-level and more general optimisations this is no longer necessary so we can just use the normal PVOP_ macros. This fixes some residual bugs in the old implementations which left edx liable to inadvertent clobbering. Also, fix some bugs in __PVOP_VCALLEESAVE which were revealed by actual use.

ieee80211_rx() must be called with softirqs disabled since the networking stack requires this for netif_rx() and some code in mac80211 can assume that it can not be processing its own tasklet and this call at the same time. It may be possible to remove this requirement after a careful audit of mac80211 and doing any needed locking improvements in it along with disabling softirqs around netif_rx(). An alternative might be to push all packet processing to process context in mac80211, instead of to the tasklet, and add other synchronisation.
