d1f9cbd788 tracing/function-graph-tracer: fix traces weirdness while absolute time printing
Impact: trace output cleanup/reordering

When an interrupt occurs and and the abstime option is selected:

  echo funcgraph-abstime > /debug/tracing/trace_options

then we observe broken traces:

30581.025422 |   0)   Xorg-4291    |   0.503 us    |      idle_cpu();
30581.025424 |   0)   Xorg-4291    |   2.576 us    |    }
30581.025424 |   0)   Xorg-4291    | + 75.771 us   |  }

30581.025426 |   0)   Xorg-4291    |   0.705 us    |      _spin_lock_irq();

With this patch, the interrupts output better adapts
to absolute time printing:

4b3e3d2284 tracing: limit the number of loops the ring buffer self test can make
Impact: prevent deadlock if ring buffer gets corrupted

This patch adds a paranoid check to make sure the ring buffer consumer
does not go into an infinite loop. Since the ring buffer has been set
to read only, the consumer should not loop for more than the ring buffer
size. A check is added to make sure the consumer does not loop more than
the ring buffer size.

4d7a077c0c tracing: have function trace select kallsyms
Impact: fix output of function tracer to be useful

The function tracer is pretty useless if KALLSYMS is not configured.
Unless you are good at reading hex values, the function tracer should
select the KALLSYMS configuration.

Also, the dynamic function tracer will fail its self test if KALLSYMS
is not selected.

0c5119c1e6 tracing: disable tracing while testing ring buffer
Impact: fix to prevent hard lockup on self tests

If one of the tracers are broken and is constantly filling the ring
buffer while the test of the ring buffer is running, it will hang
the box. The reason is that the test is a consumer that will not
stop till the ring buffer is empty. But if the tracer is broken and
is constantly producing input to the buffer, this test will never
end. The result is a lockup of the box.

This happened when KALLSYMS was not defined and the dynamic ftrace
test constantly filled the ring buffer, because the filter failed
and all functions were being traced. Something was being called
that constantly filled the buffer.

inotify_handle_get_wd() does idr_pre_get() which does a
kmem_cache_alloc() without __GFP_FS - and is hence deadlockable under
extreme MM pressure.

a1a5c3b923 fbdev/drm: fix Kconfig submenu mess in "Graphics support"
Submenus of the graphics support "Support for frame buffer devices" and
"Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support)" are
broken in half after latest changes for Intel 915 mode setting support.

The DRM subsection is broken because one option is put outside the choice
section it depends on.

The frame buffers part is broken then due to circular dependency.  Fix
this by make Intel frame buffers depend on CONFIG_INTEL_AGP.

Kconfigs are broken by d2f5935770
("drm/i915: select framebuffer support automatically").

This is probably not only way to fix this.

5a74db06cc floppy: request and release only the ports we actually use
The floppy driver requests an I/O port it doesn't need, and sometimes this
causes a conflict with a motherboard device reported by PNPBIOS.

This patch makes the floppy driver request and release only the ports it
actually uses.  It also factors out the request/release stuff and the
io-ports list so they're all in one place now.

The current floppy driver uses only these ports:

    0x3f2 (FD_DOR)
    0x3f4 (FD_STATUS)
    0x3f5 (FD_DATA)
    0x3f7 (FD_DCR/FD_DIR)

but it requests 0x3f2-0x3f5 and 0x3f7, which includes the unused port
0x3f3.

Some BIOSes report 0x3f3 as a motherboard resource.  The PNP system driver
reserves that, which causes a conflict when the floppy driver requests
0x3f2-0x3f5 later.

Philippe reported that this conflict broke the floppy driver between
2.6.11 and 2.6.22.  His PNPBIOS reports these devices:

    $ cat 00:07/id 00:07/resources	# motherboard device
    PNP0c02
    state = active
    io 0x80-0x80
    io 0x10-0x1f
    io 0x22-0x3f
    io 0x44-0x5f
    io 0x90-0x9f
    io 0xa2-0xbf
    io 0x3f0-0x3f1
    io 0x3f3-0x3f3

    $ cat 00:03/id 00:03/resources	# floppy device
    PNP0700
    state = active
    io 0x3f4-0x3f5
    io 0x3f2-0x3f2

To fix this, the PFN should be initialized and marked as PG_reserved.

		       "start_page[%p] end_page[%p] zone[%p]\n",

 ...

And here's what I got:

	move_freepages: Bogus zones: start_page[2207d0000] end_page[2207dffc0] zone[fffff8103effcb00]
	move_freepages: start_zone[fffff8103effcb00] end_zone[fffff8003fffeb00]
	move_freepages: start_pfn[0x81f600] end_pfn[0x81f7ff]
	move_freepages: start_nid[1] end_nid[0]

My memory layout on this box is:

[    0.000000] Zone PFN ranges:
[    0.000000]   Normal   0x00000000 -> 0x0081ff5d
[    0.000000] Movable zone start PFN for each node
[    0.000000] early_node_map[8] active PFN ranges
[    0.000000]     0: 0x00000000 -> 0x00020000
[    0.000000]     1: 0x00800000 -> 0x0081f7ff
[    0.000000]     1: 0x0081f800 -> 0x0081fe50
[    0.000000]     1: 0x0081fed1 -> 0x0081fed8
[    0.000000]     1: 0x0081feda -> 0x0081fedb
[    0.000000]     1: 0x0081fedd -> 0x0081fee5
[    0.000000]     1: 0x0081fee7 -> 0x0081ff51
[    0.000000]     1: 0x0081ff59 -> 0x0081ff5d

So it's a block move in that 0x81f600-->0x81f7ff region which triggers
the problem.

This patch:

Declaration of early_pfn_to_nid() is scattered over per-arch include
files, and it seems it's complicated to know when the declaration is used.
 I think it makes fix-for-memmap-init not easy.

This patch moves all declaration to include/linux/mm.h

After this,
  if !CONFIG_NODES_POPULATES_NODE_MAP && !CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID
     -> Use static definition in include/linux/mm.h
  else if !CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID
     -> Use generic definition in mm/page_alloc.c
  else
     -> per-arch back end function will be called.

ada723dcd6 fs/super.c: add lockdep annotation to s_umount
Li Zefan said:

After a while a lockdep warning showed up:

The cause is after alloc_super() and then retry, an old entry in list
fs_supers is found, so grab_super(old) is called, but both functions hold
s_umount lock:

struct super_block *sget(...)
{
	...
retry:
	spin_lock(&sb_lock);
	if (test) {
		list_for_each_entry(old, &type->fs_supers, s_instances) {
			if (!test(old, data))
				continue;
			if (!grab_super(old))  <--- 2nd: down_write(&old->s_umount);
				goto retry;
			if (s)
				destroy_super(s);
			return old;
		}
	}
	if (!s) {
		spin_unlock(&sb_lock);
		s = alloc_super(type);   <--- 1th: down_write(&s->s_umount)
		if (!s)
			return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
		goto retry;
	}
	...
}

It seems like a false positive, and seems like VFS but not cgroup needs to
be fixed.

Peter said:

We can simply put the new s_umount instance in a but lockdep doesn't
particularly cares about subclass order.

If there's any issue with the callers of sget() assuming the s_umount lock
being of sublcass 0, then there is another annotation we can use to fix
that, but lets not bother with that if this is sufficient.

27c0c8e511 atmel_serial might lose modem status change
I found a problem of handling of modem status of atmel_serial driver.

With the commit 1ecc26 ("atmel_serial: split the interrupt handler"),
handling of modem status signal was splitted into two parts.  The
atmel_tasklet_func() compares new status with irq_status_prev, but
irq_status_prev is not correct if signal status was changed while the port
is closed.

Here is a sequence to cause problem:

1. Remote side sets CTS (and DSR).
2. Local side close the port.
3. Local side clears RTS and DTR.
4. Remote side clears CTS and DSR.
5. Local side reopen the port.  hw_stopped becomes 1.
6. Local side sets RTS and DTR.
7. Remote side sets CTS and DSR.

Then CTS change interrupt can be received, but since CTS bit in
irq_status_prev and new status is same, uart_handle_cts_change() will not
be called (so hw_stopped will not be cleared, i.e.  cannot send any data).

I suppose irq_status_prev should be initialized at somewhere in open
sequence.

Itai Levi pointed out that we need to initialize atmel_port->irq_status
as well here. His analysis is as follows:

> Regarding the second part of the patch (which resets irq_status_prev),
> it turns out that both versions of the patch (mine and Atsushi's)
> still leave enough room for faulty behavior when opening the port.
>
> This is because we are not resetting both irq_status_prev and
> irq_status in atmel_startup() to CSR, which leads faulty behavior in
> the following sequences:
>
> First case:
> 1. closing the port while CTS line = 1 (TX not allowed)
> 2. setting CTS line = 0 (TX allowed)
> 3. opening the port
> 4. transmitting one char
> 5. Cannot transmit more chars, although CTS line is 0
>
> Second case:
> 1. closing the port while CTS line = 0 (TX allowed)
> 2. setting CTS line = 1 (TX not allowed)
> 3. opening the port
> 4. receiving some chars
> 5. Now we can transmit, although CTS line is 1
>
> This reason for this is that the tasklet is scheduled as a result of
> TX or RX interrupts (not a status change!), in steps 4 above. Inside
> the tasklet, the atmel_port->irq_status (which holds the value from
> the previous session) is compared to atmel_port->irq_status_prev.
> Hence, a status-change of the CTS line is faultily detected.
>
> Both cases were verified on 9260 hardware.

The conversion of atmel-mci to dma_request_channel missed the

137bad3234 lis3lv02d: support both one- and two-byte sensors
Sensors responding with 0x3B to WHO_AM_I only have one data register per
direction, thus returning a signed byte from the position which is
occupied by the MSB in sensors responding with 0x3A.

Since multiple sensors share the reply to WHO_AM_I, we rename the defines
to better indicate what they identify (family of single and double
precision sensors).

We support both kind of sensors by checking for the sensor type on init
and defining appropriate data-access routines and sensor limits (for the
joystick) depending on what we find.

1cf6e7d83b mm: task dirty accounting fix
YAMAMOTO-san noticed that task_dirty_inc doesn't seem to be called properly for
cases where set_page_dirty is not used to dirty a page (eg. mark_buffer_dirty).

Additionally, there is some inconsistency about when task_dirty_inc is
called.  It is used for dirty balancing, however it even gets called for
__set_page_dirty_no_writeback.

So rather than increment it in a set_page_dirty wrapper, move it down to
exactly where the dirty page accounting stats are incremented.

8f19d47293 seq_file: properly cope with pread
Currently seq_read assumes that the offset passed to it is always the
offset it passed to user space.  In the case pread this assumption is
broken and we do the wrong thing when presented with pread.

To solve this I introduce an offset cache inside of struct seq_file so we
know where our logical file position is.  Then in seq_read if we try to
read from another offset we reset our data structures and attempt to go to
the offset user space wanted.

command issued after the command that failed not being processed, i.e.  no
interrupt ever occurs to indicate the command has completed.  This failure
can result in a deadlock.

This patch resets the data state machine to clear the error in case of a
command timeout.

Tested on OMAP3430 chip and intensive MMC/SD device removal while
transferring data.

eb25082657 omap_hsmmc: only MMC1 allows HCTL.SDVS != 1.8V
Based on a patch from Tony Lindgren ... after initialization,
never change HCTL.SDVS except for MMC1.  The other controller
instances only support 1.8V in that field, although they can
suport other card/SDIO/eMMC/... voltages with level shifting
solutions such as external transceivers.

MMC2 behavior sanity tested on Overo/WLAN, OMAP3430 SDP, and
custom hardware.  MMC1 also sanity tested on those platforms
plus Beagle.  This also fixes a bug preventing MMC2 (and also
presumably MMC3) from powering down when requested.

249d0fa9d5 omap_hsmmc: card detect irq bugfix
Work around lockdep issue when card detect IRQ handlers run in
thread context ... it forces IRQF_DISABLED, which prevents all
access to twl4030 card detect signals.

5dbace0c9b sdhci: fix led naming
Fix the led device naming for the sdhci driver.

The led class documentation defines the led name to have the
form "devicename:colour:function" while not applicable sections
should be left blank.

To comply with the documentation the led device name is changed
from "mmc*" to "mmc*::".

9942448837 s3cmci: Fix hangup in do_pio_write()
This commit fixes the regression what was added by commit
088a78af97 "s3cmci: Support transfers
which are not multiple of 32 bits."

fifo_free() now returns amount of available space in FIFO buffer in
bytes.  But do_pio_write() writes to FIFO 32-bit words.  Condition for
return from cycle is (fifo_free() == 0), but when fifo has 1..3 bytes
of free space then this condition will never be true and system hangs.

This patch changes condition in the while() to (fifo_free() > 3).

be987fdb55 block: fix deadlock in blk_abort_queue() for drivers that readd to timeout list
blk_abort_queue() iterates the timeout list and aborts each request on the
list, but if the driver error handling readds a request to the timeout list
during this processing, we could be looping forever. Fix this by splicing
current entries to a local list and run over that list instead.

41b8c853a4 block: fix booting from partitioned md array
Hi Tejun,

 it looks like your commit:

   block: don't depend on consecutive minor space
   f331c0296f

 broke a particular case for booting from partitioned md/raid devices.
 That is the second time this has been broken recently.  The previous
 time was fixed by

   block: do_mounts - accept root=<non-existant partition>
   30f2f0eb4b

 Because the data isn't available when an md device is first created
 (we add disks and set it up after creation), the initial partition
 scan finds nothing.  It is not until the device is opened that
 another partition scan happens and finds something.

 So at the point where the kernel parameter "root=/dev/md_d0p1" is
 being parsed, md_d0 exists, but md_d0p1 does not.
 However if we let blk_lookup_devt return the correct device number
 even though the device doesn't exist, then the attempt to mount it
 will successfully find the partition.

 I have tried in the past to find a way to get the partition table to
 be read as soon as the array is assembled but that proved impossible
 (at the time).  I don't remember the details, and could possibly
 revisit it.  However it would be really nice if blk_lookup_devt
 could be adjusted to again accept non existant partitions.
