      ALSA: hda - Suppress CORBRP clear on Nvidia controller chips · 6ba736dd
      Takashi Iwai authored 
      
The recent commit (ca460f86) changed the CORB RP reset procedure to
follow the specification with a couple of sanity checks.
Unfortunately, Nvidia controller chips seem not following this way,
and spew the warning messages like:
  snd_hda_intel 0000:00:10.1: CORB reset timeout#1, CORBRP = 0

This patch adds the workaround for such chips.  It just skips the new
reset procedure for the known broken chips.

Pull ftrace bugfix from Steven Rostedt:
 "Takao Indoh reported that he was able to cause a ftrace bug while
  loading a module and enabling function tracing at the same time.

  He uncovered a race where the module when loaded will convert the
  calls to mcount into nops, and expects the module's text to be RW.
  But when function tracing is enabled, it will convert all kernel text
  (core and module) from RO to RW to convert the nops to calls to ftrace
  to record the function.  After the convertion, it will convert all the
  text back from RW to RO.

  The issue is, it will also convert the module's text that is loading.
  If it converts it to RO before ftrace does its conversion, it will
  cause ftrace to fail and require a reboot to fix it again.

  This patch moves the ftrace module update that converts calls to
  mcount into nops to be done when the module state is still
  MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED.  This will ignore the module when the text is
  being converted from RW back to RO"

      mm: don't pointlessly use BUG_ON() for sanity check · 50f5aa8a
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      
BUG_ON() is a big hammer, and should be used _only_ if there is some
major corruption that you cannot possibly recover from, making it
imperative that the current process (and possibly the whole machine) be
terminated with extreme prejudice.

The trivial sanity check in the vmacache code is *not* such a fatal
error.  Recovering from it is absolutely trivial, and using BUG_ON()
just makes it harder to debug for no actual advantage.

To make matters worse, the placement of the BUG_ON() (only if the range
check matched) actually makes it harder to hit the sanity check to begin
with, so _if_ there is a bug (and we just got a report from Srivatsa
Bhat that this can indeed trigger), it is harder to debug not just
because the machine is possibly dead, but because we don't have better
coverage.

BUG_ON() must *die*.  Maybe we should add a checkpatch warning for it,
because it is simply just about the worst thing you can ever do if you
hit some "this cannot happen" situation.

      ftrace/module: Hardcode ftrace_module_init() call into load_module() · a949ae56
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored 
      A race exists between module loading and enabling of function tracer.

	CPU 1				CPU 2
	-----				-----
  load_module()
   module->state = MODULE_STATE_COMING

				register_ftrace_function()
				 mutex_lock(&ftrace_lock);
				 ftrace_startup()
				  update_ftrace_function();
				   ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare()
				    set_all_module_text_rw();
				   <enables-ftrace>
				    ftrace_arch_code_modify_post_process()
				     set_all_module_text_ro();

				[ here all module text is set to RO,
				  including the module that is
				  loading!! ]

   blocking_notifier_call_chain(MODULE_STATE_COMING);
    ftrace_init_module()

     [ tries to modify code, but it's RO, and fails!
       ftrace_bug() is called]

When this race happens, ftrace_bug() will produces a nasty warning and
all of the function tracing features will be disabled until reboot.

The simple solution is to treate module load the same way the core
kernel is treated at boot. To hardcode the ftrace function modification
of converting calls to mcount into nops. This is done in init/main.c
there's no reason it could not be done in load_module(). This gives
a better control of the changes and doesn't tie the state of the
module to its notifiers as much. Ftrace is special, it needs to be
treated as such.

The reason this would work, is that the ftrace_module_init() would be
called while the module is in MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED, which is ignored
by the set_all_module_text_ro() call.

      powerpc/4xx: Fix section mismatch in ppc4xx_pci.c · e4565362
      Alistair Popple authored 
      
This patch fixes this section mismatch:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x1efc4): Section mismatch in reference from
the function apm821xx_pciex_init_port_hw() to the function
.init.text:ppc4xx_pciex_wait_on_sdr.isra.9()

The function apm821xx_pciex_init_port_hw() references the function
__init ppc4xx_pciex_wait_on_sdr.isra.9().  This is often because
apm821xx_pciex_init_port_hw lacks a __init annotation or the
annotation of ppc4xx_pciex_wait_on_sdr.isra.9 is wrong.

apm821xx_pciex_init_port_hw is only referenced by a struct in
__initdata, so it should be safe to add __init to
apm821xx_pciex_init_port_hw.

      ppc/kvm: Set the runlatch bit of a CPU just before starting guest · fd17dc7b
      Preeti U Murthy authored 
      
The secondary threads in the core are kept offline before launching guests
in kvm on powerpc: "371fefd6:KVM: PPC: Allow book3s_hv guests to use
SMT processor modes."

Hence their runlatch bits are cleared. When the secondary threads are called
in to start a guest, their runlatch bits need to be set to indicate that they
are busy. The primary thread has its runlatch bit set though, but there is no
harm in setting this bit once again. Hence set the runlatch bit for all
threads before they start guest.

      ppc/powernv: Set the runlatch bits correctly for offline cpus · f2038911
      Preeti U Murthy authored 
      
Up until now we have been setting the runlatch bits for a busy CPU and
clearing it when a CPU enters idle state. The runlatch bit has thus
been consistent with the utilization of a CPU as long as the CPU is online.

However when a CPU is hotplugged out the runlatch bit is not cleared. It
needs to be cleared to indicate an unused CPU. Hence this patch has the
runlatch bit cleared for an offline CPU just before entering an idle state
and sets it immediately after it exits the idle state.

      powerpc/pseries: Protect remove_memory() with device hotplug lock · 42dbfc86
      Li Zhong authored 
      
While testing memory hot-remove, I found following dead lock:

Process #1141 is drmgr, trying to remove some memory, i.e. memory499.
It holds the memory_hotplug_mutex, and blocks when trying to remove file
"online" under dir memory499, in kernfs_drain(), at
        wait_event(root->deactivate_waitq,
                   atomic_read(&kn->active) == KN_DEACTIVATED_BIAS);

Process #1120 is trying to online memory499 by
   echo 1 > memory499/online

In .kernfs_fop_write, it uses kernfs_get_active() to increase
&kn->active, thus blocking process #1141. While itself is blocked later
when trying to acquire memory_hotplug_mutex, which is held by process

The backtrace of both processes are shown below:

This patch uses lock_device_hotplug() to protect remove_memory() called
in pseries_remove_memblock(), which is also stated before function
remove_memory():

 * NOTE: The caller must call lock_device_hotplug() to serialize hotplug
 * and online/offline operations before this call, as required by
 * try_offline_node().
 */
void __ref remove_memory(int nid, u64 start, u64 size)

With this lock held, the other process(#1120 above) trying to online the
memory block will retry the system call when calling
lock_device_hotplug_sysfs(), and finally find No such device error.
