d4afe41418 x86: rename KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE => KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE
The KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE constant was mis-named, as we not only map the kernel
text but data, bss and init sections as well.

That name led me on the wrong path with the KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE regression,
because i knew how big of _text_ my images have and i knew about the 40 MB
"text" limit so i wrongly thought to be on the safe side of the 40 MB limit
with my 29 MB of text, while the total image size was slightly above 40 MB.

88f3aec7af x86: fix spontaneous reboot with allyesconfig bzImage
recently the 64-bit allyesconfig bzImage kernel started spontaneously
rebooting during early bootup.

after a few fun hours spent with early init debugging, it turns out
that we've got this rather annoying limit on the size of the kernel
image:

      #define KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE  (40*1024*1024)

which limit my vmlinux just happened to pass:

       text           data       bss        dec       hex   filename
   29703744        4222751   8646224   42572719   2899baf   vmlinux

40 MB is 42572719 bytes, so my vmlinux was just 1.5% above this limit :-/

So it happily crashed right in head_64.S, which - as we all know - is
the most debuggable code in the whole architecture ;-)

So increase the limit to allow an up to 128MB kernel image to be mapped.
(should anyone be that crazy or lazy)

We have a full 4K of pagetable (level2_kernel_pgt) allocated for these
mappings already, so there's no RAM overhead and the limit was rather
pointless and arbitrary.

829157be59 x86: handle BIOSes which terminate e820 with CF=1 and no SMAP
The proper way to terminate the e820 chain is with %ebx == 0 on the
last legitimate memory block.  However, several BIOSes don't do that
and instead return error (CF = 1) when trying to read off the end of
the list.  For this error return, %eax doesn't necessarily return the
SMAP signature -- correctly so, since %ah should contain an error code
in this case.

To deal with some particularly broken BIOSes, we clear the entire e820
chain if the SMAP signature is missing in the middle, indicating a
plain insane e820 implementation.  However, we need to make the test
for CF = 1 before the SMAP check.

This fixes at least one HP laptop (nc6400) for which none of the
memory-probing methods (e820, e801, 88) functioned fully according to
spec.

959b3be64c x86: don't use P6_NOPs if compiling with CONFIG_X86_GENERIC
P6_NOPs are definitely not supported on some VIA CPUs, and possibly
(unverified) on AMD K7s.  It is also the only thing that prevents a
686 kernel from running on Transmeta TM3x00/5x00 (Crusoe) series.

The performance benefit over generic NOPs is very small, so when
building for generic consumption, avoid using them.

We have been promoting Transmeta TM3x00/TM5x00 chips to i686-class
based on the notion that they contain all the user-space visible

they lack the EA-taking long NOPs (0F 1F /0).  Since this is a

1ce70c4fac x86/lguest: fix pgdir pmd index calculation
Hi all,

Beginning from commits close to v2.6.25-rc2, running lguest always oopses
the host kernel. Oops is at [1].

Bisection led to the following commit:

commit 37cc8d7f96

    x86/early_ioremap: don't assume we're using swapper_pg_dir

    At the early stages of boot, before the kernel pagetable has been
    fully initialized, a Xen kernel will still be running off the
    Xen-provided pagetables rather than swapper_pg_dir[].  Therefore,
    readback cr3 to determine the base of the pagetable rather than
    assuming swapper_pg_dir[].

 static inline pmd_t * __init early_ioremap_pmd(unsigned long addr)
 {
-	pgd_t *pgd = &swapper_pg_dir[pgd_index(addr)];
+	/* Don't assume we're using swapper_pg_dir at this point */
+	pgd_t *base = __va(read_cr3());
+	pgd_t *pgd = &base[pgd_index(addr)];
 	pud_t *pud = pud_offset(pgd, addr);
 	pmd_t *pmd = pmd_offset(pud, addr);

Trying to analyze the problem, it seems on the guest side of lguest,
%cr3 has a different value from &swapper_pg-dir (which
is AFAIK fine on a pravirt guest):

Putting some debugging messages in early_ioremap_pmd:

/* Appears 3 times */
[    0.000000] ***************************
[    0.000000] __va(%cr3) = c0000000, &swapper_pg_dir = c02cc000
[    0.000000] ***************************

After 8 hours of debugging and staring on lguest code, I noticed something
strange in paravirt_ops->set_pmd hypercall invocation:

static void lguest_set_pmd(pmd_t *pmdp, pmd_t pmdval)
{
	*pmdp = pmdval;
	lazy_hcall(LHCALL_SET_PMD, __pa(pmdp)&PAGE_MASK,
		   (__pa(pmdp)&(PAGE_SIZE-1))/4, 0);
}

The first hcall parameter is global pgdir which looks fine. The second
parameter is the pmd index in the pgdir which is suspectful.

AFAIK, calculating the index of pmd does not need a divisoin over four.
Removing the division made lguest work fine again . Patch is at [2].

I am not sure why the division over four existed in the first place. It
seems bogus, maybe the Xen patch just made the problem appear ?

[2]: The patch:

[PATCH] lguest: fix pgdir pmd index cacluation

Remove an error in index calculation which leads to removing
a not existing shadow page table (leading to a Null dereference).

This behavior has been confirmed by Marvell with a SATA analyzer.
The Marvell port-multiplier apparently likes to see clean HOB
information when accessing PMP registers.

Since sata_mv uses PIO shadow register access, this doesn't happen
automatically, as it might in a more purely FIS-based driver (eg. ahci).

One way to fix this is to flag these commands with ATA_TFLAG_LBA48,
forcing libata to write out the HOB fields with known (zero) values.

9116300634 libata: automatically use DMADIR if drive/bridge requires it
Back in 2.6.17-rc2, a libata module parameter was added for atapi_dmadir.

That's nice, but most SATA devices which need it will tell us about it
in their IDENTIFY PACKET response, as bit-15 of word-62 of the
returned data (as per ATA7, ATA8 specifications).

So for those which specify it, we should automatically use the DMADIR bit.
Otherwise, disc writing will fail by default on many SATA-ATAPI drives.

This patch adds ATA_DFLAG_DMADIR and make ata_dev_configure() set it
if atapi_dmadir is set or identify data indicates DMADIR is necessary.
atapi_xlat() is converted to check ATA_DFLAG_DMADIR before setting
DMADIR.

Original patch is from Mark Lord.

bc4bf5f38c [NEIGH]: Fix race between neighbor lookup and table's hash_rnd update.
The neigh_hash_grow() may update the tbl->hash_rnd value, which 
is used in all tbl->hash callbacks to calculate the hashval.

Two lookup routines may race with this, since they call the 
->hash callback without the tbl->lock held. Since the hash_rnd
is changed with this lock write-locked moving the calls to ->hash
under this lock read-locked closes this gap.

1840bb13c2 [RTNL]: Validate hardware and broadcast address attribute for RTM_NEWLINK
RTM_NEWLINK allows for already existing links to be modified. For this
purpose do_setlink() is called which expects address attributes with a
payload length of at least dev->addr_len. This patch adds the necessary
validation for the RTM_NEWLINK case.

The address length for links to be created is not checked for now as the
actual attribute length is used when copying the address to the netdevice
structure. It might make sense to report an error if less than addr_len
bytes are provided but enforcing this might break drivers trying to be
smart with not transmitting all zero addresses.

759afc3133 tg3: ethtool phys_id default
When asked to blink LEDs the tg3 driver behaves when using:
	ethtool -p ethX
The default value for data is zero, and other drivers interpret this
as blink forever (or at least a really long time).  The tg3 driver
interprets this as blink once.  All drivers should have the same
behaviour.

04e2f1741d Add memory barrier semantics to wake_up() & co
Oleg Nesterov and others have pointed out that on some architectures,
the traditional sequence of

	set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
	if (CONDITION)
		return;
	schedule();

is racy wrt another CPU doing

	CONDITION = 1;
	wake_up_process(p);

because while set_current_state() has a memory barrier separating
setting of the TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state from reading of the CONDITION
variable, there is no such memory barrier on the wakeup side.

Now, wake_up_process() does actually take a spinlock before it reads and
sets the task state on the waking side, and on x86 (and many other
architectures) that spinlock is in fact equivalent to a memory barrier,
but that is not generally guaranteed.  The write that sets CONDITION
could move into the critical region protected by the runqueue spinlock.

However, adding a smp_wmb() to before the spinlock should now order the
writing of CONDITION wrt the lock itself, which in turn is ordered wrt
the accesses within the spinlock (which includes the reading of the old
state).

This should thus close the race (which probably has never been seen in
practice, but since smp_wmb() is a no-op on x86, it's not like this will
make anything worse either on the most common architecture where the
spinlock already gave the required protection).

02c608c1fe documentation: atomic_add_unless() doesn't imply mb() on failure
(sorry for being offtpoic, but while experts are here...)

A "typical" implementation of atomic_add_unless() can return 0 immediately
after the first atomic_read() (before doing cmpxchg). In that case it doesn't
provide any barrier semantics. See include/asm-ia64/atomic.h as an example.

We should either change the implementation, or fix the docs.
