This code harks back to the days when we didn't count dirty mapped
pages, which led us to try to balance the number of dirty unmapped pages
by how much unmapped memory there was in the system.
That makes no sense any more, since now the dirty counts include the
mapped pages. Not to mention that the math doesn't work with HIGHMEM
machines anyway, and causes the unmapped_ratio to potentially turn
negative (which we do catch thanks to clamping it at a minimum value,
but I mention that as an indication of how broken the code is).
The code also was written at a time when the default dirty ratio was
much larger, and the unmapped_ratio logic effectively capped that large
dirty ratio a bit. Again, we've since lowered the dirty ratio rather
aggressively, further lessening the point of that code.

This matters to any sort of device that is wired to one of the CPU
interrupt pins on an SMP system. Typically the scenario is most easily
triggered with the count/compare timer interrupt where the same interrupt
number and thus irq_desc is used on each processor.
CPU A CPU B
do_IRQ()
generic_handle_irq()
handle_level_irq()
spin_lock(desc_lock)
set IRQ_INPROGRESS
spin_unlock(desc_lock)
do_IRQ()
generic_handle_irq()
handle_level_irq()
spin_lock(desc_lock)
IRQ_INPROGRESS set => bail out
spin_lock(desc_lock)
clear IRQ_INPROGRESS
spin_unlock(desc_lock)
In case of the cp0 compare interrupt this means the interrupt will be
acked and not handled or re-armed on CPU b, so there won't be any timer
interrupt until the count register wraps around.
With kernels 2.6.20 ... 2.6.23 we usually were lucky that things were just
working right on VSMP because the count registers are synchronized on
bootup so it takes something that disables interrupts for a long time on
one processor to trigger this one.
For scenarios where an interrupt is multicasted or broadcasted over several
CPUs the existing code was safe and the fix will break it. There is no
way to know in the interrupt controller code because it is abstracted from
the platform code. I think we do not have such a setup currently, so this
should be ok.

We have no guarantee by the generic time code that the timer is stopped
when the ->next_event method is called. Modifying the Timer Initial Count
register while the timer is enabled has UNPREDICTABLE effect according to
the BCM1250/BCM1125/BCM1125H User Manual. So stop the timer before
reprogramming.
This is a paranoia fix; no ill effects have been observed previously.

For the old minimum of a single tick a value of zero would be programmed
into the init value register which in the BCM1250/BCM1125/BCM1125H User
Manual in the Timer Special Cases section is documented to have
UNPREDICTABLE effect.
Observable sympthoms of this bug were hangs of several seconds on the
console during bootup and later if both dyntick and highres timer options
were activated.
In theory contiguous mode of the timers is also affected but in an act of
hopeless lack of realism I'll assume nobody will ever configure a KERNEL
for HZ > 500kHz but if so I leave that to evolution to sort out.

Shadow register support would not possibly have worked on multicore
systems. The support code for it was also depending not on MIPS R2 but
VSMP or SMTC kernels even though it makes perfect sense with UP kernels.
SR sets are a scarce resource and the expected usage pattern is that
users actually hardcode the register set numbers in their code. So fix
the allocator by ditching it. Move the remaining CPU probe bits into
the generic CPU probe.

This avoids us executing an mfc0 c0_count instruction on processors which
don't have but also on certain R4000 and R4400 versions where reading from

Grant Wilson has reported rare SCHED_FAIR_USER crashes on his quad-core
system, which crashes can only be explained via runqueue corruption.
there is a narrow SMP race in __set_task_cpu(): after ->cpu is set up to
a new value, task_rq_lock(p, ...) can be successfuly executed on another
CPU. We must ensure that updates of per-task data have been completed by
this moment.
this bug has been hiding in the Linux scheduler for an eternity (we never
had any explicit barrier for task->cpu in set_task_cpu() - so the bug was
introduced in 2.5.1), but only became visible via set_task_cfs_rq() being
accidentally put after the task->cpu update. It also probably needs a
sufficiently out-of-order CPU to trigger.

Suppose that the SCHED_FIFO task does
switch_uid(new_user);
Now, p->se.cfs_rq and p->se.parent both point into the old
user_struct->tg because sched_move_task() doesn't call set_task_cfs_rq()
for !fair_sched_class case.
Suppose that old user_struct/task_group is freed/reused, and the task
does
sched_setscheduler(SCHED_NORMAL);
__setscheduler() sets fair_sched_class, but doesn't update
->se.cfs_rq/parent which point to the freed memory.
This means that check_preempt_wakeup() doing
while (!is_same_group(se, pse)) {
se = parent_entity(se);
pse = parent_entity(pse);
}
may OOPS in a similar way if rq->curr or p did something like above.
Perhaps we need something like the patch below, note that
__setscheduler() can't do set_task_cfs_rq().

Currently the scheduler checks for PF_VCPU to decide if this timeslice
has to be accounted as guest time. On s390 host interrupts are not
disabled during guest execution. This causes theses interrupts to be
accounted as guest time if CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is set. Solution
is to check if an interrupt triggered account_system_time. As the tick
is timer interrupt based, we have to subtract hardirq_offset.
I tested the patch on s390 with CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING and on
x86_64. Seems to work.

This adds some "how does this work" comments to the i2c-dev driver,
plus separators between the three main components:
- The parallel list of i2c_adapters ("i2c_dev_list"), each of which
gets a "struct i2c_dev" and a /dev/i2c-X character special file.
- An i2cdev_driver gets adapter add/remove notifications, which are
used to maintain that list of adapters.
- Special file operations, which let userspace talk either directly to
the adapter (for i2c_msg operations) or through cached addressing info
using an anonymous i2c_client (never registered anywhere).
Plus there's the usual module load/unload record keeping.
After making sense of this code, I think that the anonymous i2c_client
is pretty shady. But since it's never registered, using this code with
a system set up for "new style" I2C drivers is no more complicated than
always using the I2C_SLAVE_FORCE ioctl (instead of I2C_SLAVE).

This reverts commit 7fb7ac2411.
Heikki Orsila reports that it causes a regression:
"Doing
nc host port < /dev/zero
on a sending machine (not skge) to an skge machine that is receiving:
nc -l -p port >/dev/null
with ~60 MiB/s speed, causes the interface go malfunct. A slow
transfer doesn't cause a problem."
See
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9321
for some more information.
There is a workaround (also reported by Heikki):
"After some fiddling, I noticed that not changing the register write
order on patch:
+ skge_write32(hw, RB_ADDR(q, RB_END), end);
skge_write32(hw, RB_ADDR(q, RB_WP), start);
skge_write32(hw, RB_ADDR(q, RB_RP), start);
- skge_write32(hw, RB_ADDR(q, RB_END), end);
fixes the visible effect.. Possibly not the root cause of the
problem, but changing the order back fixes networking here."
but that has yet to be ack'ed or tested more widely, so the whole
problem-causing commit gets reverted until this is resolved properly.
