2008-09-05sh: resume_kernel fix for kernel oops built with CONFIG_BKL_PREEMPT=y.Carmelo Amoroso
This patch fixes a problem within the SH implementation of resume_kernel code, that implements in assembly the bulk of preempt_schedule_irq function without taking care of the extra code needed to handle the BKL preemptible. The patch basically consists of removing this asm code and calling the common C implementation (see kernel/sched.c) as other archs do. Another change is the missing 'cli' macro invocation at the beginning of the resume_kernel.

2008-09-03x86: Change warning message in TSC calibration.Alok N Kataria
When calibration against PIT fails, the warning that we print is misleading. In a virtualized environment the VM may get descheduled while calibration or, the check in PIT calibration may fail due to other virtualization overheads. The warning message explicitly assumes that calibration failed due to SMI's which may not be the case. Change that to something proper.

This bug is causing random crashes (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11414). -fno-omit-frame-pointer is only needed on powerpc when -pg is also supplied, and there is a gcc bug that causes incorrect code generation on 32-bit powerpc when -fno-omit-frame-pointer is used---it uses stack locations below the stack pointer, which is not allowed by the ABI because those locations can and sometimes do get corrupted by an interrupt. This ensures that CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is only selected by ftrace. When CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled we also pass -mno-sched-epilog to work around the gcc codegen bug.

2008-09-03powerpc: Only make kernel text pages of linear mapping executablePaul Mackerras
Commit bc033b63bbfeb6c4b4eb0a1d083c650e4a0d2af8 ("powerpc/mm: Fix attribute confusion with htab_bolt_mapping()") moved the check for whether we should make pages of the linear mapping executable from htab_bolt_mapping into its callers, including htab_initialize. A side-effect of this is that the decision is now made once for each contiguous section in the LMB array rather than for each page individually. This can often mean that the whole of the linear mapping ends up being executable. This reverts to the previous behaviour, where individual pages are checked for being part of the kernel text or not, by moving the check back down into htab_bolt_mapping.

2008-09-02[x86] Fix TSC calibration issuesThomas Gleixner
Larry Finger reported at http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/1/90: An ancient laptop of mine started throwing errors from b43legacy when I started using 2.6.27 on it. This has been bisected to commit bfc0f59 "x86: merge tsc calibration". The unification of the TSC code adopted mostly the 64bit code, which prefers PMTIMER/HPET over the PIT calibration. Larrys system has an AMD K6 CPU. Such systems are known to have PMTIMER incarnations which run at double speed. This results in a miscalibration of the TSC by factor 0.5. So the resulting calibrated CPU/TSC speed is half of the real CPU speed, which means that the TSC based delay loop will run half the time it should run. That might explain why the b43legacy driver went berserk. On the other hand we know about systems, where the PIT based calibration results in random crap due to heavy SMI/SMM disturbance. On those systems the PMTIMER/HPET based calibration logic with SMI detection shows better results. According to Alok also virtualized systems suffer from the PIT calibration method. The solution is to use a more wreckage aware aproach than the current either/or decision. 1) reimplement the retry loop which was dropped from the 32bit code during the merge. It repeats the calibration and selects the lowest frequency value as this is probably the closest estimate to the real frequency 2) Monitor the delta of the TSC values in the delay loop which waits for the PIT counter to reach zero. If the maximum value is significantly different from the minimum, then we have a pretty safe indicator that the loop was disturbed by an SMI. 3) keep the pmtimer/hpet reference as a backup solution for systems where the SMI disturbance is a permanent point of failure for PIT based calibration 4) do the loop iteration for both methods, record the lowest value and decide after all iterations finished. 5) Set a clear preference to PIT based calibration when the result makes sense. The implementation does the reference calibration based on HPET/PMTIMER around the delay, which is necessary for the PIT anyway, but keeps separate TSC values to ensure the "independency" of the resulting calibration values. Tested on various 32bit/64bit machines including Geode 266Mhz, AMD K6 (affected machine with a double speed pmtimer which I grabbed out of the dump), Pentium class machines and AMD/Intel 64 bit boxen.

Breaking lines due to some imaginary problem with a long line length is often stupid and wrong, but never more so when it splits a string that is printed out into multiple lines. This really ended up making it much harder to find where some error strings were printed out, because a simple 'grep' didn't work.

2008-08-27[ARM] Skip memory holes in FLATMEM when reading /proc/pagetypeinfoMel Gorman
Ordinarily, memory holes in flatmem still have a valid memmap and is safe to use. However, an architecture (ARM) frees up the memmap backing memory holes on the assumption it is never used. /proc/pagetypeinfo reads the whole range of pages in a zone believing that the memmap is valid and that pfn_valid will return false if it is not. On ARM, freeing the memmap breaks the page->zone linkages even though pfn_valid() returns true and the kernel can oops shortly afterwards due to accessing a bogus struct zone *. This patch lets architectures say when FLATMEM can have holes in the memmap. Rather than an expensive check for valid memory, /proc/pagetypeinfo will confirm that the page linkages are still valid by checking page->zone is still the expected zone. The lookup of page_zone is safe as there is a limited range of memory that is accessed when calling page_zone. Even if page_zone happens to return the correct zone, the impact is that the counters in /proc/pagetypeinfo are slightly off but fragmentation monitoring is unlikely to be relevant on an embedded system.
