[PATCH] pcmcia: request CIS via firmware interface
Use the firmware method to load replacement CIS tables. It is recommended
that the /lib/firmware/cis/ points to /etc/pcmcia/cis or the other way round
so that both old-style cardmgr and new-style hotplug/firmware can access these
"overwrite" files
The "func_id"-based matching is very fuzzy and can lead to false positives.
Therefore, it should be tried to avoid relying on these matches. Until
most/all existing func_id-based matches are replaced by
manf_id/card_id/prod_id matches (a patch which will ask to send the
appropriate card information to the PCMCIA mailing list will be added once
other, more pressing issues are adressed), we need to emulate cardmgr
behaviour by allowing func_id matches if no manf_id/card_id/prod_id match
occurs. This can only be done in userspace because of modules possibly loaded
with long delays. So, add a per-device sysfs file for this purpose.
If a card doesn't provide _any_ information about itself, assume it is a
so-called "anonymous" card. pcmciamtd will bind to it if it is configured to
do so.
The one thing which surprises me in this patch that cis->Length needs to be
set to count+1. Without it, it doesn't work, but with it, it doesn't make
sense to me.

[PATCH] ide: sensible probing for PCI systems
Old ISA/VESA systems sometimes put tertiary IDE controllers at addresses
0x1e8, 0x168, 0x1e0 or 0x160. Linux thus probes these addresses on x86
systems. Unfortunately some PCI systems now use these addresses for other
purposes which leads to users seeing minute plus hangs during boot or even
crashes.
The following patch (again has been in Fedora for a while) only probes the
obscure legacy ISA ports on machinea that are pre-PCI. This seems to keep
everyone happy and if there is someone with that utterly weird corner case
the ide= command line still provides a get out of jail card.

[PATCH] Return probe redesign: ppc64 specific implementation
The following is a patch provided by Ananth Mavinakayanahalli that implements

to consume each of the outstanding return probem instances (feedback

cross compiled but have not testing this on a PPC64 machine.
Changes include:
* Addition of kretprobe_trampoline to act as a dummy function for instrumented
functions to return to, and for the return probe infrastructure to place
a kprobe on on, gaining control so that the return probe handler
can be called, and so that the instruction pointer can be moved back
to the original return address.
* Addition of arch_init(), allowing a kprobe to be registered on
kretprobe_trampoline
* Addition of trampoline_probe_handler() which is used as the pre_handler
for the kprobe inserted on kretprobe_implementation. This is the function
that handles the details for calling the return probe handler function
and returning control back at the original return address
* Addition of arch_prepare_kretprobe() which is setup as the pre_handler
for a kprobe registered at the beginning of the target function by
kernel/kprobes.c so that a return probe instance can be setup when
a caller enters the target function. (A return probe instance contains
all the needed information for trampoline_probe_handler to do it's job.)
* Hooks added to the exit path of a task so that we can cleanup any left-over
return probe instances (i.e. if a task dies while inside a targeted function
then the return probe instance was reserved at the beginning of the function
but the function never returns so we need to mark the instance as unused.)

* Removing trampoline_post_handler()

* Fix in ppc64 code removing an unneeded call to re-enable preemption
* Fix a build problem in ia64 when kprobes was turned off
* Added another BUG_ON check to each of the architecture trampoline
handlers
My initial patch description ==>
From my experiences with adding return probes to x86_64 and ia64, and the
feedback on LKML to those patches, I think we can simplify the design
for return probes.
The following patch tweaks the original design such that:
* Instead of storing the stack address in the return probe instance, the
task pointer is stored. This gives us all we need in order to:
- find the correct return probe instance when we enter the trampoline
(even if we are recursing)
- find all left-over return probe instances when the task is going away
This has the side effect of simplifying the implementation since more
work can be done in kernel/kprobes.c since architecture specific knowledge
of the stack layout is no longer required. Specifically, we no longer have:
- arch_get_kprobe_task()
- arch_kprobe_flush_task()
- get_rp_inst_tsk()
- get_rp_inst()
- trampoline_post_handler() <see next bullet>
* Instead of splitting the return probe handling and cleanup logic across
the pre and post trampoline handlers, all the work is pushed into the
pre function (trampoline_probe_handler), and then we skip single stepping
the original function. In this case the original instruction to be single
stepped was just a NOP, and we can do without the extra interruption.
The new flow of events to having a return probe handler execute when a target
function exits is:
* At system initialization time, a kprobe is inserted at the beginning of
kretprobe_trampoline. kernel/kprobes.c use to handle this on it's own,
but ia64 needed to do this a little differently (i.e. a function pointer
is really a pointer to a structure containing the instruction pointer and
a global pointer), so I added the notion of arch_init(), so that
kernel/kprobes.c:init_kprobes() now allows architecture specific
initialization by calling arch_init() before exiting. Each architecture
now registers a kprobe on it's own trampoline function.
* register_kretprobe() will insert a kprobe at the beginning of the targeted
function with the kprobe pre_handler set to arch_prepare_kretprobe
(still no change)
* When the target function is entered, the kprobe is fired, calling
arch_prepare_kretprobe (still no change)
* In arch_prepare_kretprobe() we try to get a free instance and if one is
available then we fill out the instance with a pointer to the return probe,
the original return address, and a pointer to the task structure (instead
of the stack address.) Just like before we change the return address
to the trampoline function and mark the instance as used.
If multiple return probes are registered for a given target function,
then arch_prepare_kretprobe() will get called multiple times for the same
task (since our kprobe implementation is able to handle multiple kprobes
at the same address.) Past the first call to arch_prepare_kretprobe,
we end up with the original address stored in the return probe instance
pointing to our trampoline function. (This is a significant difference
from the original arch_prepare_kretprobe design.)
* Target function executes like normal and then returns to kretprobe_trampoline.
* kprobe inserted on the first instruction of kretprobe_trampoline is fired
and calls trampoline_probe_handler() (no change here)
* trampoline_probe_handler() consumes each of the instances associated with
the current task by calling the registered handler function and marking
the instance as unused until an instance is found that has a return address
different then the trampoline function.
(change similar to my previous ia64 RFC)
* If the task is killed with some left-over return probe instances (meaning
that a target function was entered, but never returned), then we just
free any instances associated with the task. (Not much different other
then we can handle this without calling architecture specific functions.)
There is a known problem that this patch does not yet solve where
registering a return probe flush_old_exec or flush_thread will put us
in a bad state. Most likely the best way to handle this is to not allow
registering return probes on these two functions.
(Significant change)
This patch series applies to the 2.6.12-rc6-mm1 kernel, and provides:
* kernel/kprobes.c changes
* i386 patch of existing return probes implementation
* x86_64 patch of existing return probe implementation
* ia64 implementation
* ppc64 implementation (provided by Ananth)
This patch implements the architecture independant changes for a reworking
of the kprobes based function return probes design. Changes include:
* Removing functions for querying a return probe instance off a stack address
* Removing the stack_addr field from the kretprobe_instance definition,
and adding a task pointer
* Adding architecture specific initialization via arch_init()
* Removing extern definitions for the architecture trampoline functions
(this isn't needed anymore since the architecture handles the
initialization of the kprobe in the return probe trampoline function.)

[PATCH] seccomp: tsc disable
I believe at least for seccomp it's worth to turn off the tsc, not just for
HT but for the L2 cache too. So it's up to you, either you turn it off
completely (which isn't very nice IMHO) or I recommend to apply this below
patch.
This has been tested successfully on x86-64 against current cogito
repository (i686 compiles so I didn't bother testing ;). People selling
the cpu through cpushare may appreciate this bit for a peace of mind.
There's no way to get any timing info anymore with this applied
(gettimeofday is forbidden of course). The seccomp environment is
completely deterministic so it can't be allowed to get timing info, it has
to be deterministic so in the future I can enable a computing mode that
does a parallel computing for each task with server side transparent
checkpointing and verification that the output is the same from all the 2/3
seller computers for each task, without the buyer even noticing (for now
the verification is left to the buyer client side and there's no
checkpointing, since that would require more kernel changes to track the
dirty bits but it'll be easy to extend once the basic mode is finished).
Eliminating a cold-cache read of the cr4 global variable will save one
cacheline during the tlb flush while making the code per-cpu-safe at the
same time. Thanks to Mikael Pettersson for noticing the tlb flush wasn't
per-cpu-safe.
The global tlb flush can run from irq (IPI calling do_flush_tlb_all) but
it'll be transparent to the switch_to code since the IPI won't make any
change to the cr4 contents from the point of view of the interrupted code
and since it's now all per-cpu stuff, it will not race. So no need to
disable irqs in switch_to slow path.

This patch adds a routine to the open_pic driver to be able to select a PMU

This will allow PMU interrupts to occur while another interrupt is pending,
and thus reduce the risk of machine beeing abruptly shutdown by the PMU due to
a timeout in PMU communication caused by excessive interrupt latency. The
problem is very rare, and usually just doesn't happen, but it is still useful

_tlbie() here to be thrashing the pinned entry, as Dan suspected.
The intermediate TLB state in which this bug can be triggered is not
visible by userspace or any other contexts, except the page fault handling
path. So there is no need to worry about userspace dcbxxx users.
The other solution to this is to avoid dcbst misbehaviour in the first
place, which involves changing in-kernel "dcbst" callers to use 8xx
specific SPR's.
Summary:
On 8xx, cache control instructions (particularly "dcbst" from
flush_dcache_icache) fault as write operation if there is an unpopulated
TLB entry for the address in question. To workaround that, we invalidate
the TLB here, thus avoiding dcbst misbehaviour.

[PATCH] fix WANT_PAGE_VIRTUAL in memmap_init
I spotted this issue while in memmap_init last week. I can't say the
change has any test coverage by me. start_pfn was formerly used in main
"for" loop. The fix is replace start_pfn with pfn.

[PATCH] USB Storage: retry hard errors
This patch started life as as527, and was rediffed by me.
Since the IDE interface doesn't convey much information about types of
errors, many USB-IDE adapters report all low-level errors with SK = 0x04,
which is supposed to be used only for non-recoverable errors. As a result
the SCSI midlayer doesn't retry the command. But quite often a retry
would succeed, whereas an unnecessary retry doesn't really hurt anything.
This patch uses a recently-implemented flag to tell the SCSI midlayer that
such hardware errors should be retried.

[PATCH] USB Storage: port reset on transport error
This patch causes a port reset whenever there's a transport error or abort.
If that fails it reverts back to doing a mass-storage device reset. It
started life as as497 and was rediffed by me.
This makes error recovery a lot quicker and more reliable.

[PATCH] USB: wireless usb <linux/usb_ch9.h> declarations
This provides declarations for new requests, descriptors, and bitfields as
defined in the Wireless USB 1.0 spec. Device support will involve a new
"Wire Adapter" device class, connecting a USB Host to a cluster of wireless
USB devices. There will be two adapter types:
* Host Wireless Adapter (HWA): the downstream link is wireless, which
connects a wireless USB host to wireless USB devices (not unlike like
a hub) including to the second type of adapter.
* Device Wireless Adapter (DWA): the upstream link is wireless, for
connecting existing USB devices through wired links into the cluser.
All wireless USB devices will need persistent (and secure!) key storage, and
it's probable that Linux -- or device firmware -- will need to be involved
with that to bootstrap the initial secure key exchange.
Some user interface is required in that initial key exchange, and since the
most "hands-off" one is a wired USB link, I suspect wireless operation will
usually not be the only mode for wireless USB devices. (Plus, devices can
recharge batteries using wired USB...) All other key exchange protocols need
error prone user interactions, like copying and/or verifying keys.
It'll likely be a while before we have commercial Wireless USB hardware,
much less Linux implementations that know how to use it.

[PATCH] USB: ehci-hcd - fix page pointer allocation in itd_patch()
The itd_patch() function is responsible for allocating entries in the
buffer page pointer list of the iTD. Particularly, a new page pointer
is needed every time when buffer data crosses a page boundary.
However, there is a bug in the allocation logic: the function does not
allocate a new entry when the current transaction is the first
transaction in the iTD (as indicated by first!=0).
The consequence is that, when the data of the first transaction begins
somewhere at the end of a page so that it actually does cross the page
boundary, no new page pointer is allocated. This means that the data
at the end of the first transaction (beyond the page boundary) will be
accessed by the HC using the second page pointer, which is zero.
Furthermore, the first page pointer will be later overwritten by the
page pointers of the other transactions, which will garble it because
the value is or-ed into the iTD field.
All this particular check (for !first) does is cause incorrect
behaviour, so it should be entirely removed (and with it the variable
first that is not used for anything else).

[PATCH] USB UHCI: Detect invalid ports
This patch changes the way uhci-hcd detects valid ports. The
specification doesn't mention any way to find out how many ports a
controller has, so the driver has to use some heuristics, reading the port
status and control register and deciding whether the value makes sense.
With this patch the driver will recognize a typical failure mode (all bits
set to one) for nonexistent ports and won't assume there are always at
least 2 ports -- such an assumption seems silly if the heuristics have
already shown that the ports don't exist.
