Pull VT-d hardware workarounds from David Woodhouse: "This contains a workaround for hardware issues which I *thought* were never going to be seen on production hardware. I'm glad I checked that before the 4.1 release... Firstly, PASID support is so broken on existing chips that we're just going to declare the old capability bit 28 as 'reserved' and change the VT-d spec to move PASID support to another bit. So any existing hardware doesn't support SVM; it only sets that (now) meaningless bit 28. That patch *wasn't* imperative for 4.1 because we don't have PASID support yet. But *even* the extended context tables are broken — if you just enable the wider tables and use none of the new bits in them, which is precisely what 4.1 does, you find that translations don't work. It's this problem which I thought was caught in time to be fixed before production, but wasn't. To avoid triggering this issue, we now *only* enable the extended context tables on hardware which also advertises "we have PASID support and we actually tested it this time" with the new PASID feature bit. In addition, I've added an 'intel_iommu=ecs_off' command line parameter to allow us to disable it manually if we need to" * git://git.infradead.org/intel-iommu: iommu/vt-d: Only enable extended context tables if PASID is supported iommu/vt-d: Change PASID support to bit 40 of Extended Capability Register
2015-06-12iommu/vt-d: Only enable extended context tables if PASID is supportedDavid Woodhouse1-0/+6
Although the extended tables are theoretically a completely orthogonal feature to PASID and anything else that *uses* the newly-available bits, some of the early hardware has problems even when all we do is enable them and use only the same bits that were in the old context tables. For now, there's no motivation to support extended tables unless we're going to use PASID support to do SVM. So just don't use them unless PASID support is advertised too. Also add a command-line bailout just in case later chips also have issues. The equivalent problem for PASID support has already been fixed with the upcoming VT-d spec update and commit bd00c606a ("iommu/vt-d: Change PASID support to bit 40 of Extended Capability Register"), because the problematic platforms use the old definition of the PASID-capable bit, which is now marked as reserved and meaningless. So with this change, we'll magically start using ECS again only when we see the new hardware advertising "hey, we have PASID support and we actually tested it this time" on bit 40. The VT-d hardware architect has promised that we are not going to have any reason to support ECS *without* PASID any time soon, and he'll make sure he checks with us before changing that. In the future, if hypothetical new features also use new bits in the context tables and can be seen on implementations *without* PASID support, we might need to add their feature bits to the ecs_enabled() macro.

2015-05-27rcutorture: Allow negative values of nreaders to oversubscribePaul E. McKenney1-1/+5
By default, with rcutorture.nreaders equal to -1, rcutorture provisions N-1 reader kthreads, where N is the number of CPUs. This avoids rcutorture-induced stalls, but also avoids heavier levels of torture. This commit therefore allows negative values of rcutorture.nreaders to specify larger numbers of reader kthreads, so that for example rcutorture.nreaders=-2 provisions N kthreads and rcutorture.nreaders=-5 provisions N+3 kthreads.

2015-05-27rcu: Convert CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT to boot parameterPaul E. McKenney1-0/+6
The CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT Kconfig parameter is used primarily (and perhaps only) by rcutorture to verify that RCU works correctly in specific rcu_node combining-tree configurations. It therefore does not make much sense have this as a question to people attempting to configure their kernels. So this commit creates an rcutree.rcu_fanout_exact= boot parameter that rcutorture can use, and eliminates the original CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT Kconfig parameter.

2015-05-27rcu: Provide diagnostic option to slow down grace-period scansPaul E. McKenney1-2/+14
Grace-period scans of the rcu_node combining tree normally proceed quite quickly, so that it is very difficult to reproduce races against them. This commit therefore allows grace-period pre-initialization and cleanup to be artificially slowed down, increasing race-reproduction probability. A pair of pairs of new Kconfig parameters are provided, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT to enable the slowing down of propagating CPU-hotplug changes up the combining tree along with RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT_DELAY to specify the delay in jiffies, and RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP to enable the slowing down of the end-of-grace-period cleanup scan along with RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP_DELAY to specify the delay in jiffies. Boot-time parameters named rcutree.gp_preinit_delay and rcutree.gp_cleanup_delay allow these delays to be specified at boot time. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2015-05-27smp: Make control dependencies work on Alpha, improve documentationPaul E. McKenney1-22/+33
The current formulation of control dependencies fails on DEC Alpha, which does not respect dependencies of any kind unless an explicit memory barrier is provided. This means that the current fomulation of control dependencies fails on Alpha. This commit therefore creates a READ_ONCE_CTRL() that has the same overhead on non-Alpha systems, but causes Alpha to produce the needed ordering. This commit also applies READ_ONCE_CTRL() to the one known use of control dependencies. Use of READ_ONCE_CTRL() also has the beneficial effect of adding a bit of self-documentation to control dependencies. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2015-05-27documentation: memory-barriers: Fix smp_mb__before_spinlock() semanticsWill Deacon1-4/+3
Our current documentation claims that, when followed by an ACQUIRE, smp_mb__before_spinlock() orders prior loads against subsequent loads and stores, which isn't the intent. This commit therefore fixes the documentation to state that this sequence orders only prior stores against subsequent loads and stores. In addition, the original intent of smp_mb__before_spinlock() was to only order prior loads against subsequent stores, however, people have started using it as if it ordered prior loads against subsequent loads and stores. This commit therefore also updates smp_mb__before_spinlock()'s header comment to reflect this new reality. Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: "Paul E.

2015-05-15Documentation: dt: mtd: replace "nor-jedec" binding with "jedec, spi-nor"Brian Norris1-3/+3
In commit 8ff16cf77ce3 ("Documentation: devicetree: m25p80: add "nor-jedec" binding"), we added a generic "nor-jedec" binding to catch all mostly-compatible SPI NOR flash which can be detected via the READ ID opcode (0x9F). This was discussed and reviewed at the time, however objections have come up since then as part of this discussion: http://lkml.kernel.org/g/20150511224646.GJ32500@ld-irv-0074 It seems the parties involved agree that "jedec,spi-nor" does a better job of capturing the fact that this is SPI-specific, not just any NOR flash. This binding was only merged for v4.1-rc1, so it's still OK to change the naming. At the same time, let's move the documentation to a better name. Next up: stop referring to code (drivers/mtd/devices/m25p80.c) from the documentation.

2015-05-11new ->follow_link() and ->put_link() calling conventionsAl Viro2-4/+4
a) instead of storing the symlink body (via nd_set_link()) and returning an opaque pointer later passed to ->put_link(), ->follow_link() _stores_ that opaque pointer (into void * passed by address by caller) and returns the symlink body. Returning ERR_PTR() on error, NULL on jump (procfs magic symlinks) and pointer to symlink body for normal symlinks. Stored pointer is ignored in all cases except the last one. Storing NULL for opaque pointer (or not storing it at all) means no call of ->put_link(). b) the body used to be passed to ->put_link() implicitly (via nameidata). Now only the opaque pointer is. In the cases when we used the symlink body to free stuff, ->follow_link() now should store it as opaque pointer in addition to returning it. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2015-05-10pty: Fix input race when closingPeter Hurley1-0/+3
A read() from a pty master may mistakenly indicate EOF (errno == -EIO) after the pty slave has closed, even though input data remains to be read. For example, pty slave | input worker | pty master | | | | n_tty_read() pty_write() | | input avail? no add data | | sleep schedule worker --->| | . |---> flush_to_ldisc() | . pty_close() | fill read buffer | . wait for worker | wakeup reader --->| . | read buffer full? |---> input avail ? yes |<--- yes - exit worker | copy 4096 bytes to user TTY_OTHER_CLOSED <---| |<--- kick worker | | **** New read() before worker starts **** | | n_tty_read() | | input avail? no | | TTY_OTHER_CLOSED? yes | | return -EIO Several conditions are required to trigger this race: 1. the ldisc read buffer must become full so the input worker exits 2. the read() count parameter must be >= 4096 so the ldisc read buffer is empty 3. the subsequent read() occurs before the kicked worker has processed more input However, the underlying cause of the race is that data is pipelined, while tty state is not; ie., data already written by the pty slave end is not yet visible to the pty master end, but state changes by the pty slave end are visible to the pty master end immediately. Pipeline the TTY_OTHER_CLOSED state through input worker to the reader. 1. Introduce TTY_OTHER_DONE which is set by the input worker when TTY_OTHER_CLOSED is set and either the input buffers are flushed or input processing has completed. Readers/polls are woken when TTY_OTHER_DONE is set. 2. Reader/poll checks TTY_OTHER_DONE instead of TTY_OTHER_CLOSED. 3. A new input worker is started from pty_close() after setting TTY_OTHER_CLOSED, which ensures the TTY_OTHER_DONE state will be set if the last input worker is already finished (or just about to exit). Remove tty_flush_to_ldisc(); no in-tree callers.
