Sometimes we need to test a kernel of same version with code or config
option changes.
We already have sysctl to disable module load, but add a kernel
parameter will be more convenient.
Since modules_disabled is int, so here use bint type in core_param.

There's also a new initcall_debug feature from Arjan which will print

new debug code landed).
Beyond that, I'm handing off PCI maintainership to Bjorn Helgaas.
He's been a core PCI and Linux contributor for some time now, and has
kindly volunteered to take over. I just don't feel I have the time
for PCI review and work that it deserves lately (I've taken on some
other projects), and haven't been as responsive lately as I'd like, so
I approached Bjorn asking if he'd like to manage things. He's going

Pull drm main changes from Dave Airlie:
"This is the main drm pull request, I'm probably going to send two more
smaller ones, will explain below.
This contains a patch that is also in the fbdev tree, but it should be
the same patch, it added an API for hot unplugging framebuffer
devices, and I need that API for a new driver.
It also contains some changes to the i2c tree which Jean has acked,
and one change to moorestown platform stuff in x86.
Highlights:
- new drivers: UDL driver for USB displaylink devices, kms only,
should support correct hotplug operations.
- core: i2c speedups + better hotplug support, EDID overriding via
firmware interface - allows user to load a firmware for a broken
monitor/kvm from userspace, it even has documentation for it.
- exynos: new HDMI audio + hdmi 1.4 + virtual output driver
- gma500: code cleanup
- radeon: cleanups, CS optimisations, streamout support and pageflip
fix
- nouveau: NVD9 displayport support + more reclocking work
- i915: re-enabling GMBUS, finish gpu patch (might help hibernation
who knows), missed irq fixes, stencil tiling fixes, interlaced
support, aliasesd PPGTT support for SNB/IVB, swizzling for SNB/IVB,
semaphore fixes
As well as the usual bunch of cleanups and fixes all over the place.
I've got two things I'd like to merge a bit later:
a) AMD support for all their new radeonhd 7000 series GPU and APUs.
AMD dropped this a bit late due to insane internal review
processes, (please AMD just follow Intel and let open source guys
ship stuff early) however I don't want to penalise people who own
this hardware (since its been on sale for 3-4 months and GPU hw
doesn't exactly have a lifetime in years) and consign them to
using closed drivers for longer than necessary. The changes are
well contained and just plug into the driver new gpu functionality
so they should be fairly regression proof. I just want to give
them a bit of a run on the hw AMD kindly sent me.
b) drm prime/dma-buf interface code. This is just infrastructure
code to expose the dma-buf stuff to drm drivers and to userspace.
I'm not planning on pushing any driver support in this cycle
(except maybe exynos), but I'd like to get the infrastructure code
in so for the next cycle I can start getting the driver support
into the individual drivers. We have started driver support for
i915, nouveau and udl along with I think exynos and omap in
staging. However this code relies on the dma-buf tree being
pulled into your tree first since it needs the latest interfaces
from that tree. I'll push to get that tree sent asap.
(oh and any warnings you see in i915 are gcc's fault from what anyone
can see)."

The pnfs-objects protocol mandates that we autologin into devices not
present in the system, according to information specified in the
get_device_info returned from the server.
The Protocol specifies two login hints.
1. An IP address:port combination
2. A string URI which is constructed as a URL with a protocol prefix
followed by :// and a string as address. For each protocol prefix
the string-address format might be different.
We only support the second option. The first option is just redundant
to the second one.
NOTE: The Kernel part of autologin does not parse the URI string. It
just channels it to a user-mode script. So any new login protocols should
only update the user-mode script which is a part of the nfs-utils package,
but the Kernel need not change.
We implement the autologin by using the call_usermodehelper() API.
(Thanks to Steve Dickson <steved@redhat.com> for pointing it out)
So there is no running daemon needed, and/or special setup.
We Add the osd_login_prog Kernel module parameters which defaults to:
/sbin/osd_login
Kernel try's to upcall the program specified in osd_login_prog. If the file is
not found or the execution fails Kernel will disable any farther upcalls, by
zeroing out osd_login_prog, Until Admin re-enables it by setting the
osd_login_prog parameter to a proper program.

Broken monitors and/or broken graphic boards may send erroneous or no
EDID data. This also applies to broken KVM devices that are unable to
correctly forward the EDID data of the connected monitor but invent
their own fantasy data.
This patch allows to specify an EDID data set to be used instead of
probing the monitor for it. It contains built-in data sets of frequently
used screen resolutions. In addition, a particular EDID data set may be
provided in the /lib/firmware directory and loaded via the firmware
interface. The name is passed to the kernel as module parameter of the
drm_kms_helper module either when loaded
options drm_kms_helper edid_firmware=edid/1280x1024.bin
or as kernel commandline parameter
drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=edid/1280x1024.bin
It is also possible to restrict the usage of a specified EDID data set
to a particular connector. This is done by prepending the name of the
connector to the name of the EDID data set using the syntax
edid_firmware=[<connector>:]<edid>
such as, for example,
edid_firmware=DVI-I-1:edid/1920x1080.bin
in which case no other connector will be affected.
The built-in data sets are
Resolution Name
--------------------------------
1024x768 edid/1024x768.bin
1280x1024 edid/1280x1024.bin
1680x1050 edid/1680x1050.bin
1920x1080 edid/1920x1080.bin
They are ignored, if a file with the same name is available in the
/lib/firmware directory.
The built-in EDID data sets are based on standard timings that may not
apply to a particular monitor and even crash it. Ideally, EDID data of
the connected monitor should be used. They may be obtained through the
drm/cardX/cardX-<connector>/edid entry in the /sys/devices PCI directory
of a correctly working graphics adapter.
It is even possible to specify the name of an EDID data set on-the-fly
via the /sys/module interface, e.g.
echo edid/myedid.bin >/sys/module/drm_kms_helper/parameters/edid_firmware
The new screen mode is considered when the related kernel function is
called for the first time after the change. Such calls are made when the
X server is started or when the display settings dialog is opened in an
already running X server.

Following the documentation of the Legacy Backlight Brightness (LBB)
Register in the configuration space of some Intel PCI graphics adapters,
setting the LBB register with the value 0x0 causes the backlight to be
turned off, and 0xFF causes the backlight to be set to 100% intensity
(http://download.intel.com/embedded/processors/Whitepaper/324567.pdf).
The Acer Aspire 5734Z, however, turns the backlight off at 0xFF and sets
it to maximum intensity at 0. In consequence, the screen of this systems
becomes dark at an early boot stage which makes it unusable. The same
inversion applies to the BLC_PWM_CTL I915 register. This problem was
introduced in kernel version 2.6.38 when the PCI device of this system
was first supported by the i915 KMS module.
This patch adds a parameter to the i915 module to enable inversion of
the brightness variable (i915.invert_brightness).

Since commit 04c6862c05 ("kmsg_dump: add kmsg_dump() calls to the
reboot, halt, poweroff and emergency_restart paths"), kmsg_dump() gets
run on normal paths including poweroff and reboot.
This is less than ideal given pstore implementations that can only
represent single backtraces, since a reboot may overwrite a stored oops
before it's been picked up by userspace. In addition, some pstore
backends may have low performance and provide a significant delay in
reboot as a result.
This patch adds a printk.always_kmsg_dump kernel parameter (which can also
be changed from userspace). Without it, the code will only be run on
failure paths rather than on normal paths. The option can be enabled in
environments where there's a desire to attempt to audit whether or not a
reboot was cleanly requested or not.

There are PCIe devices on the market that report ARI support but
then fail to initialize correctly when ARI is actually used. This
leads to situations in which kernels 2.6.34 and newer fail to handle
systems where the previous kernels worked without any apparent
problems. Unfortunately, it is currently unknown how many such
devices are there.
For this reason, introduce a new kernel command line option,
pci=noari, allowing users to disable PCIe ARI altogether if they
see problems with PCIe device initialization.

Disabling IRQ #16
An un-wanted interrupt is generated when PCI driver switches from
MSI/MSI-X to INTx while shutting down the device. The interrupt does
not happen if MSI/MSI-X is not used on the device.
I confirmed that this problem does not happen if pcie_hp=nomsi was
specified and hotplug operation worked fine as usual.
v2: Automatically disable MSI/MSI-X against following device:
PCI bridge: Integrated Device Technology, Inc. Device 807f (rev 02)
v3: Based on the review comment, combile the if statements.
v4: Removed module parameter.
Move some code to build pciehp as a module.
Move device specific code to driver/pci/quirks.c.
v5: Drop a device specific code until getting a vendor statement.

With CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC configured, the CPU will generate an exception
on access (read,write) to an unallocated page, which permits us to catch
code which corrupts memory. However the kernel is trying to maximise
memory usage, hence there are usually few free pages in the system and
buggy code usually corrupts some crucial data.
This patch changes the buddy allocator to keep more free/protected pages
and to interlace free/protected and allocated pages to increase the
probability of catching corruption.
When the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC,
debug_guardpage_minorder defines the minimum order used by the page
allocator to grant a request. The requested size will be returned with
the remaining pages used as guard pages.
The default value of debug_guardpage_minorder is zero: no change from
current behaviour.

Now that the use of numeric uids/gids is officially sanctioned in
RFC3530bis, it is time to change the default here to 'enabled'.
By doing so, we ensure that NFSv4 copies the behaviour of NFSv3 when we're
using the default AUTH_SYS authentication (i.e. when the client uses the
numeric uids/gids as authentication tokens), so that when new files are
created, they will appear to have the correct user/group.
It also fixes a number of backward compatibility issues when migrating
from NFSv3 to NFSv4 on a platform where the server uses different uid/gid
mappings than the client.
Note also that this setting has been successfully tested against servers
that do not support numeric uids/gids at several Connectathon/Bakeathon
events at this point, and the fall back to using string names/groups has
been shown to work well in all those test cases.

If the device starts to use IOMMUv2 features the dma handles
need to stay valid. The only sane way to do this is to use a

With this patch the OProfile Basic Mode Sampling support for System z
is enhanced with a counter file system. That way hardware sampling
can be configured using the user space tools with only little
modifications.
With the patch by default new cpu_types (s390/z10, s390/z196) are
returned in order to indicate that we are running a CPU which provides
the hardware sampling facility. Existing user space tools will
complain about an unknown cpu type. In order to be compatible with
existing user space tools the `cpu_type' module parameter has been
added. Setting the parameter to `timer' will force the module to
return `timer' as cpu_type. The module will still try to use hardware
sampling if available and the hwsampling virtual filesystem will be
also be available for configuration. So this has a different effect
than using the generic oprofile module parameter `timer=1'.
If the basic mode sampling is enabled on the machine and the
cpu_type=timer parameter is not used the kernel module will provide
the following virtual filesystem:
/dev/oprofile/0/enabled
/dev/oprofile/0/event
/dev/oprofile/0/count
/dev/oprofile/0/unit_mask
/dev/oprofile/0/kernel
/dev/oprofile/0/user
In the counter file system only the values of 'enabled', 'count',
'kernel', and 'user' are evaluated by the kernel module. Everything
else must contain fixed values.
The 'event' value only supports a single event - HWSAMPLING with value
0.
The 'count' value specifies the hardware sampling rate as it is passed
to the CPU measurement facility.
The 'kernel' and 'user' flags can now be used to filter for samples
when using hardware sampling.
Additionally also the following file will be created:
/dev/oprofile/timer/enabled
This will always be the inverted value of /dev/oprofile/0/enabled. 0
is not accepted without hardware sampling.

The 16-MB global limit on memory used by usbfs isn't suitable for all
people. It's a reasonable default, but there are applications
(especially for SuperSpeed devices) that need a lot more.
This patch (as1498) creates a writable module parameter for usbcore to
control the global limit. The default is still 16 MB, but users can
change it at runtime, even after usbcore has been loaded. As a
special case, setting the value to 0 is treated the same as the hard
limit of 2047 MB.

For immediate purposes, allows users to override the heuristic that sets

Currently only the address of the pre-allocated ELF header is passed with
the elfcorehdr= kernel parameter. In order to reserve memory for the header
in the 2nd kernel also the size is required. Current kdump architecture
backends use different methods to do that, e.g. x86 uses the memmap= kernel
parameter. On s390 there is no easy way to transfer this information.
Therefore the elfcorehdr kernel parameter is extended to also pass the size.
This now can also be used as standard mechanism by all future kdump
architecture backends.
The syntax of the kernel parameter is extended as follows:
elfcorehdr=[size[KMG]@]offset[KMG]
This change is backward compatible because elfcorehdr=size is still allowed.

Patch "PM / Hibernate: Add resumewait param to support MMC-like

Some devices like MMC are async detected very slow. For example,
drivers/mmc/host/sdhci.c launches a 200ms delayed work to detect
MMC partitions then add disk.
We have wait_for_device_probe() and scsi_complete_async_scans()
before calling swsusp_check(), but it is not enough to wait for MMC.
This patch adds resumewait kernel param just like rootwait so
that we have enough time to wait until MMC is ready. The difference is
that we wait for resume partition whereas rootwait waits for rootfs
partition (which may be on a different device).
This patch will make hibernation support many embedded products
without SCSI devices, but with devices like MMC.

On the platforms which are x2apic and interrupt-remapping
capable, Linux kernel is enabling x2apic even if the BIOS
doesn't. This is to take advantage of the features that x2apic
brings in.
Some of the OEM platforms are running into issues because of
this, as their bios is not x2apic aware. For example, this was
resulting in interrupt migration issues on one of the platforms.
Also if the BIOS SMI handling uses APIC interface to send SMI's,
then the BIOS need to be aware of x2apic mode that OS has
enabled.
On some of these platforms, BIOS doesn't have a HW mechanism to
turnoff the x2apic feature to prevent OS from enabling it.
To resolve this mess, recent changes to the VT-d2 specification:
http://download.intel.com/technology/computing/vptech/Intel(r)_VT_for_Direct_IO.pdf
includes a mechanism that provides BIOS a way to request system
software to opt out of enabling x2apic mode.
Look at the x2apic optout flag in the DMAR tables before
enabling the x2apic mode in the platform. Also print a warning
that we have disabled x2apic based on the BIOS request.
Kernel boot parameter "intremap=no_x2apic_optout" can be used to
override the BIOS x2apic optout request.

There are three choices:
vsyscall=native: Vsyscalls are native code that issues the
corresponding syscalls.
vsyscall=emulate (default): Vsyscalls are emulated by instruction
fault traps, tested in the bad_area path. The actual contents of
the vsyscall page is the same as the vsyscall=native case except
that it's marked NX. This way programs that make assumptions about
what the code in the page does will not be confused when they read
that code.
vsyscall=none: Trying to execute a vsyscall will segfault.

This patch provides performance tuning for the "Bulldozer" CPU. With its
shared instruction cache there is a chance of generating an excessive
number of cache cross-invalidates when running specific workloads on the
cores of a compute module.
This excessive amount of cross-invalidations can be observed if cache
lines backed by shared physical memory alias in bits [14:12] of their
virtual addresses, as those bits are used for the index generation.
This patch addresses the issue by clearing all the bits in the [14:12]
slice of the file mapping's virtual address at generation time, thus
forcing those bits the same for all mappings of a single shared library
across processes and, in doing so, avoids instruction cache aliases.
It also adds the command line option "align_va_addr=(32|64|on|off)" with
which virtual address alignment can be enabled for 32-bit or 64-bit x86
individually, or both, or be completely disabled.
This change leaves virtual region address allocation on other families
and/or vendors unaffected.

When a kernel BUG or oops occurs, ChromeOS intends to panic and
immediately reboot, with stacktrace and other messages preserved in RAM
across reboot.
But the longer we delay, the more likely the user is to poweroff and
lose the info.
panic_timeout (seconds before rebooting) is set by panic= boot option or
sysctl or /proc/sys/kernel/panic; but 0 means wait forever, so at
present we have to delay at least 1 second.
Let a negative number mean reboot immediately (with the small cosmetic
benefit of suppressing that newline-less "Rebooting in %d seconds.."
message).

There is a problem with putting the first kernel in EFI virtual mode,
it is that when the second kernel comes up it tries to initialize the
EFI again and once we have put EFI in virtual mode we can not really
do that.
Actually, EFI is not necessary for kdump, we can boot the second kernel
with "noefi" parameter, but the boot will mostly fail because 2nd kernel
cannot find RSDP.
In this situation, we introduced "acpi_rsdp=" kernel parameter, so that
kexec-tools can pass the "noefi acpi_rsdp=X" to the second kernel to
make kdump works. The physical address of the RSDP can be got from
sysfs(/sys/firmware/efi/systab).
