PCI: allocate bus resources from the top down

Previously, we looked for space in PCI host bridge windows in the order
we discovered the windows.  For example, given the following windows
(discovered via an ACPI _CRS method):

    pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0x000a0000-0x000bffff]

we attempted to allocate from [mem 0x000a0000-0x000bffff] first, then
[mem 0x000c0000-0x000effff], and so on.

With this patch, we allocate from [mem 0xff980000-0xff980fff] first, then
[mem 0xff97c000-0xff97ffff], [mem 0xfed20000-0xfed9ffff], etc.

Allocating top-down follows Windows practice, so we're less likely to
trip over BIOS defects in the _CRS description.

On the machine above (a Dell T3500), the [mem 0xbff00000-0xbfffffff] region
doesn't actually work and is likely a BIOS defect.  The symptom is that we
move the AHCI controller to 0xbff00000, which leads to "Boot has failed,
sleeping forever," a BUG in ahci_stop_engine(), or some other boot failure.

Allocate space from the top of a region first, then work downward,

When we allocate space from a resource, we look for gaps between children
of the resource.  Previously, we always looked at gaps from the bottom up.
For example, given this:

    [mem 0xbff00000-0xf7ffffff] PCI Bus 0000:00
      [mem 0xbff00000-0xbfffffff] gap -- available

With this patch an architecture can choose to allocate from the top gap
[mem 0xe0000000-0xf7ffffff] first.

We can't do this across the board because iomem_resource.end is initialized
to 0xffffffff_ffffffff on 64-bit architectures, and most machines can't
address the entire 64-bit physical address space.  Therefore, we only
allocate top-down if the arch requests it by clearing
"resource_alloc_from_bottom".

PCI: add quirk for non-symmetric-mode irq routing to versions 0 and 4 of the MCP55 northbridge

A long time ago I worked on a RHEL5 bug in which kdump hung during boot
on a set of systems.  The systems hung because they never received timer
interrupts during calibrate_delay.  These systems also all had Opteron
processors on a hypertransport bus, bridged to a pci bus via an Nvidia
MCP55 northbridge chip.  After much wrangling I managed to learn from
Nvidia that they have an undocumented register in some versions of that
chip which control how legacy interrupts are send to the cpu complex
when the ioapic isn't active.  Nvidia defaults this register to only
send legacy interrupts to the BSP, so if kdump happens to boot on an AP,
we never get timer interrupts and boom.  I had initially used this quirk
as a workaround, with my intent being to move apic initalization to an
earlier point in the boot process, so the setting of the register would
be irrelevant.  Given the work involved in doing that however, the
fragile nature of the apic initalization code, and the fact that, over
the 2 years since we found this bug, the MCP55 is the only chip which
seems to have this issue, I've figure at this point its likely safer to
just carry the quirk around.  By setting the referenced bits in this
hidden register, interrupts will be broadcast to all cpus when the
ioapic isn't active on the above described systems.

PCI/PCIe/AER: Disable native AER service if BIOS has precedence

There is a design issue related to PCIe AER and _OSC that the BIOS
may be asked to grant control of the AER service even if some
Hardware Error Source Table (HEST) entries contain information
meaning that the BIOS really should control it.  Namely,
pcie_port_acpi_setup() calls pcie_aer_get_firmware_first() that
determines whether or not the AER service should be controlled by
the BIOS on the basis of the HEST information for the given PCIe
port.  The BIOS is asked to grant control of the AER service for
a PCIe Root Complex if pcie_aer_get_firmware_first() returns 'false'
for at least one root port in that complex, even if all of the other
root ports' HEST entries have the FIRMWARE_FIRST flag set (and none
of them has the GLOBAL flag set).  However, if the AER service is
controlled by the kernel, that may interfere with the BIOS' handling
of the error sources having the FIRMWARE_FIRST flag.  Moreover,
there may be PCIe endpoints that have the FIRMWARE_FIRST flag set in
HEST and are attached to the root ports in question, in which case it
also may be unsafe to ask the BIOS for control of the AER service.

For this reason, introduce a function checking if there's at least
one PCIe-related HEST entry with the FIRMWARE_FIRST flag set and
disable the native AER service altogether if this function returns

Rather than add yet another include (<asm/unistd.h>) to make everything
happy, just uninline the silly core dump helper functions and move the
bodies to fs/exec.c where they make a lot more sense.

dump_seek() in particular was too big to be an inline function anyway,
and none of them are in any way performance-critical.  And we really
don't need to mess up our include file headers more than they already
are.

helper function ioat_tx_status() instead of ioat_dma_tx_status().  The latter
polls the hardware to get the latest completion state, while the helper just
evaluates the current state without touching hardware.  The effect is that we
end up waiting for completion timeouts or descriptor allocation errors before
the completion state is updated.

net: allow FEC driver to use fixed PHY support

At least one board using the FEC driver does not have a conventional
PHY attached to it, it is directly connected to a somewhat simple
ethernet switch (the board is the SnapGear/LITE, and the attached
4-port ethernet switch is a RealTek RTL8305). This switch does not
present the usual register interface of a PHY, it presents nothing.
So a PHY scan will find nothing - it finds ID's of 0 for each PHY
on the attached MII bus.

After the FEC driver was changed to use phylib for supporting PHYs
it no longer works on this particular board/switch setup.

Add code support to use a fixed phy if no PHY is found on the MII bus.

14 years agoring-buffer: Fix typo of time extends per page
Steven Rostedt [Tue, 12 Oct 2010 16:06:43 +0000 (12:06 -0400)]
ring-buffer: Fix typo of time extends per page

Time stamps for the ring buffer are created by the difference between
two events. Each page of the ring buffer holds a full 64 bit timestamp.
Each event has a 27 bit delta stamp from the last event. The unit of time
is nanoseconds, so 27 bits can hold ~134 milliseconds. If two events
happen more than 134 milliseconds apart, a time extend is inserted
to add more bits for the delta. The time extend has 59 bits, which
is good for ~18 years.

Currently the time extend is committed separately from the event.
If an event is discarded before it is committed, due to filtering,
the time extend still exists. If all events are being filtered, then
after ~134 milliseconds a new time extend will be added to the buffer.

This can only happen till the end of the page. Since each page holds
a full timestamp, there is no reason to add a time extend to the
beginning of a page. Time extends can only fill a page that has actual
data at the beginning, so there is no fear that time extends will fill
more than a page without any data.

When reading an event, a loop is made to skip over time extends
since they are only used to maintain the time stamp and are never
given to the caller. As a paranoid check to prevent the loop running
forever, with the knowledge that time extends may only fill a page,
a check is made that tests the iteration of the loop, and if the
iteration is more than the number of time extends that can fit in a page
a warning is printed and the ring buffer is disabled (all of ftrace
is also disabled with it).

There is another event type that is called a TIMESTAMP which can
hold 64 bits of data in the theoretical case that two events happen
18 years apart. This code has not been implemented, but the name
of this event exists, as well as the structure for it. The
size of a TIMESTAMP is 16 bytes, where as a time extend is only
8 bytes. The macro used to calculate how many time extends can fit on
a page used the TIMESTAMP size instead of the time extend size
cutting the amount in half.

The following test case can easily trigger the warning since we only
need to have half the page filled with time extends to trigger the
warning:

 # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
 # echo function > current_tracer
 # echo 'common_pid < 0' > events/ftrace/function/filter
 # echo > trace
 # echo 1 > trace_marker
 # sleep 120
 # cat trace

Enabling the function tracer and then setting the filter to only trace
functions where the process id is negative (no events), then clearing
the trace buffer to ensure that we have nothing in the buffer,
then write to trace_marker to add an event to the beginning of a page,
sleep for 2 minutes (only 35 seconds is probably needed, but this
guarantees the bug), and then finally reading the trace which will
trigger the bug.

This patch fixes the typo and prevents the false positive of that warning.

14 years agofanotify: disable fanotify syscalls
Eric Paris [Mon, 11 Oct 2010 22:13:31 +0000 (18:13 -0400)]
fanotify: disable fanotify syscalls

This patch disables the fanotify syscalls by just not building them and
letting the cond_syscall() statements in kernel/sys_ni.c redirect them
to sys_ni_syscall().

It was pointed out by Tvrtko Ursulin that the fanotify interface did not
include an explicit prioritization between groups.  This is necessary
for fanotify to be usable for hierarchical storage management software,
as they must get first access to the file, before inotify-like notifiers
see the file.

This feature can be added in an ABI compatible way in the next release
(by using a number of bits in the flags field to carry the info) but it
was suggested by Alan that maybe we should just hold off and do it in
the next cycle, likely with an (new) explicit argument to the syscall.
I don't like this approach best as I know people are already starting to
use the current interface, but Alan is all wise and noone on list backed
me up with just using what we have.  I feel this is needlessly ripping
the rug out from under people at the last minute, but if others think it
needs to be a new argument it might be the best way forward.

Three choices:
Go with what we got (and implement the new feature next cycle).  Add a
new field right now (and implement the new feature next cycle).  Wait
till next cycle to release the ABI (and implement the new feature next
cycle).  This is number 3.

contains an extended range which spans all memory regions associated

sc_adapter[card]->channel[rcvmsg.phy_link_no - 1].dn is 50 chars.

The rcvmsg struct comes from the memcpy_fromio() in receivemessage().

use 32 characters.  In drivers/isdn/sc/scioc.h, "dn" is only a 49
