x86: additional defconfig updates

Additional updates to the x86 defconfigs.  The goals are, as before:

- Make them usable to testers, more so than distributors or end users,
  both of which are likely to have their own config already.
- Keep 32 and 64 bits as similar as is practical.

Changes:

- Use a more generic CPU type (ppro and generic, respectively).
- Bump number of CPUs to 64 (few if any NR_CPUS arrays left).
- Enable PAT.
- Enable OPTIMIZE_INLINE.
- Enable microcode update support.
- Build SMT scheduler support (in addition to MC).

PCI: fix pbus_size_mem() resource alignment for CardBus controllers

Commit 884525655d07fdee9245716b998ecdc45cdd8007 ("PCI: clean up resource
alignment management") changed the resource handling to mark how a
resource was aligned on a per-resource basis.

Thus, instead of looking at the resource number to determine whether it
was a bridge resource or a regular resource (they have different
alignment rules), we should just ask the resource for its alignment
directly.

The reason this broke only cardbus resources was that for the other
types of resources, the old way of deciding alignment actually still
happened to work.  But CardBus bridge resources had been changed by
commit 934b7024f0ed29003c95cef447d92737ab86dc4f ("Fix cardbus resource

powerpc: Work around gcc's -fno-omit-frame-pointer bug

This bug is causing random crashes
(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11414).

-fno-omit-frame-pointer is only needed on powerpc when -pg is also
supplied, and there is a gcc bug that causes incorrect code generation
on 32-bit powerpc when -fno-omit-frame-pointer is used---it uses stack
locations below the stack pointer, which is not allowed by the ABI
because those locations can and sometimes do get corrupted by an
interrupt.

This ensures that CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is only selected by ftrace.
When CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled we also pass -mno-sched-epilog to work
around the gcc codegen bug.

Thomas Gleixner [Tue, 2 Sep 2008 22:54:47 +0000 (00:54 +0200)]
[x86] Fix TSC calibration issues

Larry Finger reported at http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/1/90:
An ancient laptop of mine started throwing errors from b43legacy when
I started using 2.6.27 on it. This has been bisected to commit bfc0f59
"x86: merge tsc calibration".

The unification of the TSC code adopted mostly the 64bit code, which
prefers PMTIMER/HPET over the PIT calibration.

Larrys system has an AMD K6 CPU. Such systems are known to have
PMTIMER incarnations which run at double speed. This results in a
miscalibration of the TSC by factor 0.5. So the resulting calibrated
CPU/TSC speed is half of the real CPU speed, which means that the TSC
based delay loop will run half the time it should run. That might
explain why the b43legacy driver went berserk.

On the other hand we know about systems, where the PIT based
calibration results in random crap due to heavy SMI/SMM
disturbance. On those systems the PMTIMER/HPET based calibration logic
with SMI detection shows better results.

According to Alok also virtualized systems suffer from the PIT
calibration method.

The solution is to use a more wreckage aware aproach than the current
either/or decision.

1) reimplement the retry loop which was dropped from the 32bit code
during the merge. It repeats the calibration and selects the lowest
frequency value as this is probably the closest estimate to the real
frequency

2) Monitor the delta of the TSC values in the delay loop which waits
for the PIT counter to reach zero. If the maximum value is
significantly different from the minimum, then we have a pretty safe
indicator that the loop was disturbed by an SMI.

3) keep the pmtimer/hpet reference as a backup solution for systems
where the SMI disturbance is a permanent point of failure for PIT
based calibration

4) do the loop iteration for both methods, record the lowest value and
decide after all iterations finished.

5) Set a clear preference to PIT based calibration when the result
makes sense.

The implementation does the reference calibration based on
HPET/PMTIMER around the delay, which is necessary for the PIT anyway,
but keeps separate TSC values to ensure the "independency" of the
resulting calibration values.

Tested on various 32bit/64bit machines including Geode 266Mhz, AMD K6
(affected machine with a double speed pmtimer which I grabbed out of
the dump), Pentium class machines and AMD/Intel 64 bit boxen.

patch creator.  I have just fixed it up so it applies without fuzz to
upstream kernels.

Original patch and description from Shyam kumar Iyer:

The issue [ibft module not displaying targets with short names] is because
of an offset calculatation error in the iscsi_ibft.c code.  Due to this
error directory structure for the target in /sys/firmware/ibft does not
get created and so the initiator is unable to connect to the target.

Note that this bug surfaced only with an name that had a short section at
the end.  eg: "iqn.1984-05.com.dell:dell".  It did not surface when the
iqn's had a longer section at the end.  eg:
"iqn.2001-04.com.example:storage.disk2.sys1.xyz"

So, the eot_offset was calculated such that an extra 48 bytes i.e.  the
size of the ibft_header which has already been accounted was subtracted
twice.

This was not evident with longer iqn names because they would overshoot
the total ibft length more than 48 bytes and thus would escape the bug.

So, How much quicklist memory is used in the maximum case?

This is proposional to # of CPUs because the limit of per cpu quicklist
cache doesn't see the number of cpus.

 QList_max / (Free + QList_max)   5.8%  16%  30%  48%

Wow! Quicklist can spend about 50% memory at worst case.

because

- My machine spec is
number of numa node: 2
number of cpus:      8 (4CPU x2 node)
        total mem:           8GB (4GB x2 node)
        free mem:            about 5GB

- Then, 4.7GB x 16% ~= 880MB.
  So, Quicklist can use 800MB.

So, if following spec machine run that program

   CPUs: 64 (8cpu x 8node)
   Mem:  1TB (128GB x8node)

Then, quicklist can waste 300GB (= 1TB x 30%).  It is too large.

So, I don't like cache policies which is proportional to # of cpus.

My patch changes the number of caches
from:
   per-cpu-cache-amount = memory_on_node / 16
to
   per-cpu-cache-amount = memory_on_node / 16 / number_of_cpus_on_node.

We don't change pid_ns->child_reaper when the main thread of the
subnamespace init exits.  As Robert Rex <robert.rex@exasol.com> pointed
out this is wrong.

Yes, the re-parenting itself works correctly, but if the reparented task
exits it needs ->parent->nsproxy->pid_ns in do_notify_parent(), and if the
main thread is zombie its ->nsproxy was already cleared by
exit_task_namespaces().

Introduce the new function, find_new_reaper(), which finds the new
->parent for the re-parenting and changes ->child_reaper if needed.  Kill
the now unneeded exit_child_reaper().

Also move the changing of ->child_reaper from zap_pid_ns_processes() to
find_new_reaper(), this consolidates the games with ->child_reaper and
makes it stable under tasklist_lock.

Yes, we have already killed all tasks in this namespace, and sys_wait4()
doesn't see any child.  But this doesn't mean ->children list is empty, we
may have EXIT_DEAD tasks which are not visible to do_wait().  In that case
the subsequent forget_original_parent() will crash the kernel because it
will try to re-parent these tasks to the NULL reaper.

Even if there are no childs, it is not good that forget_original_parent()
uses reaper == NULL.

Change the code to set ->child_reaper = init_pid_ns.child_reaper instead.
We could use pid_ns->parent->child_reaper as well, I think this does not
really matter.  These EXIT_DEAD tasks are not visible to the new ->parent
after re-parenting, they will silently do release_task() eventually.

Note that we must change ->child_reaper, otherwise
forget_original_parent() will use reaper == father, and in that case we
will hit the (correct) BUG_ON(!list_empty(&father->children)).

noticed this before now.

The fix involves noting that this buffer shouldn't be DMA-coherent; it's
just used for normal DMA writes.  So replace it with standard kmalloc()
buffering and DMA mapping calls.

This is the quickie fix.  A better one would not rely on allocating large
bounce buffers.  (Note that dma_alloc_coherent could have failed too, but

to fix the race.

I did fsstress test heavily to 2.6.27-rc1, and found that dio write still
sometimes got EIO through this test.

The patch above fixed race between freeing buffer(dio) and committing
transaction(jbd) but I discovered that there is another race, freeing
buffer(dio) and ext3/4_ordered_writepage.

: background_writeout()

       ->ext3_ordered_writepage()
         walk_page_buffers() -> take a bh ref
     block_write_full_page() -> unlock_page

                : <- race! (dio write->try_to_release_page fails)
          walk_page_buffers() ->release a bh ref

ext3_ordered_writepage holds bh ref and does unlock_page remaining
taking a bh ref, so this causes the race and failure of
try_to_release_page.

To fix this race, I used the approach of falling back to buffered
writes if try_to_release_page() fails on a page.

mac80211: Fix debugfs union misuse and pointer corruption

debugfs union in struct ieee80211_sub_if_data is misused by including a
common default_key dentry as a union member. This ends occupying the same
memory area with the first dentry in other union members (structures;
usually drop_unencrypted). Consequently, debugfs operations on
default_key symlinks and drop_unencrypted entry are using the same
dentry pointer even though they are supposed to be separate ones. This
can lead to removing entries incorrectly or potentially leaving
something behind since one of the dentry pointers gets lost.

Fix this by moving the default_key dentry to a new struct
(common_debugfs) that contains dentries (more to be added in future)
that are shared by all vif types. The debugfs union must only be used
for vif type-specific entries to avoid this type of pointer corruption.

check_hung_task() to filter out the TASK_KILLABLE tasks. We can
move this check to the caller which has to test t->state anyway.

Un-break printk strings in x86 PCI probing code

Breaking lines due to some imaginary problem with a long line length is
often stupid and wrong, but never more so when it splits a string that
is printed out into multiple lines.  This really ended up making it much
harder to find where some error strings were printed out, because a
simple 'grep' didn't work.

I'm sure there is tons more of this particular idiocy hiding in other
places, but this particular case hit me once more last week. So fix it.
