Earlier without cpuidle framework on pseries, the native arch
idle routine comprised of both snooze and nap
states. smt_snooze_delay variable was used to delay
the idle process entry to deeper idle state like nap.
With the coming of cpuidle, this arch specific idle was replaced
by two different idle routines, one for supporting snooze and other
for nap. This enabled addition of more
low level idle states on pseries in the future.
On adopting the generic cpuidle framework for POWER systems,
the decision of which idle state to choose from, given a predicted
idle time is taken by the menu governor based on
target_residency and exit_latency of the idle states.
target_residency is the minimum time to be resident in that idle state.
Exit_latency is time taken to exit out of idle state.
Deeper the idle state, both the target residency and exit latency
would be higher.
In the current design, smt_snooze_delay is used as target_residency
for the snooze state which is incorrect, as it is not the
minimum but the maximum duration to be in snooze state.
This would result in the governor in taking bad decision,
as presently target_residency of nap < target_residency of snooze
inspite of nap being deeper idle state.
This patch aims to fix this problem by replacing the smt_snooze_delay loop
in snooze state, with the need_resched() as the governor is aware of
entry and exit of various idle transitions based on which
next idle time prediction.
The governor is intelligent enough to determine the idle state the needs to
be transitioned to and maintains a whole of heuristics including
io load, previous idle states predictions etc for the same, based on
which idle state entry decision is taken.
With this fix, of setting target_residency of snooze to 0
nap to smt_snooze_delay
if the predicted idle time is less
than smt_snooze_delay (target_residency of nap)
value governor would pick snooze state, else nap. This adhers to the
previous native idle design.

smt_snooze_delay was designed to delay idle loop's nap entry
in the native idle code before it got ported over to use as part of
the cpuidle framework.
A -ve value assigned to smt_snooze_delay should result in
busy looping, in other words disabling the entry to nap state.
- https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2010-May/082450.html
This particular functionality can be achieved currently by
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/state1/disable
but it is broken when one assigns -ve value to the smt_snooze_delay
variable either via sysfs entry or ppc64_cpu util.
This patch aims to fix this, by disabling nap state when smt_snooze_delay
variable is set to -ve value.

Remove the redundant target residency initialisation in pseries_cpuidle_driver_init().
This is currently over-writing the residency time updated as part of the static
table, resulting in all the idle states having the same target
residency of 100us which is incorrect. This may result in the menu governor making
wrong state decisions.

There was a serious disconnect in the logic happening in
sparc_pmu_disable_event() vs. sparc_pmu_enable_event().
Event disable is implemented by programming a NOP event into the PCR.
However, event enable was not reversing this operation. Instead, it
was setting the User/Priv/Hypervisor trace enable bits.
That's not sparc_pmu_enable_event()'s job, that's what
sparc_pmu_enable() and sparc_pmu_disable() do .
The intent of sparc_pmu_enable_event() is clear, since it first clear
out the event type encoding field. So fix this by OR'ing in the event
encoding rather than the trace enable bits.

The analysis of this is as follows. In init/main.c, we issue:
kernel_thread(kernel_init, NULL, CLONE_FS | CLONE_SIGHAND);
This creates a new thread, which falls through to the ret_from_fork
assembly, with r4 set NULL and r5 set to kernel_init. You can see
this in your oops dump register set - r5 is 0xc0344555, which is the
address of kernel_init plus 1 which marks the function as Thumb code.
Now, let's look at this code a little closer - this is what the
disassembly looks like:
c000d180 <ret_from_fork>:
c000d180: f03a fe08 bl c0047d94 <schedule_tail>
c000d184: 2d00 cmp r5, #0

c000d19a: bf00 nop
c000d19c: f3af 8000 nop.w
This code was introduced in 9fff2fa0db (arm: switch to saner
kernel_execve() semantics). I have marked one instruction, and it's
the significant one - I'll come back to that later.
Eventually, having had a successful call to kernel_execve(), kernel_init()
returns zero.
In returning, it uses the value in 'lr' which was set by the instruction
I marked above. Unfortunately, this causes lr to contain 0xc000d18e -
an even address. This switches the ISA to ARM on return but with a non
word aligned PC value.
So, what do we end up executing? Well, not the instructions above - yes
the opcodes, but they don't mean the same thing in ARM mode. In ARM mode,
it looks like this instead:
c000d18c: 46e946af strbtmi r4, [r9], pc, lsr #13
c000d190: 3959ea4f ldmdbcc r9, {r0, r1, r2, r3, r6, r9, fp, sp, lr, pc}^
c000d194: 3949ea4f stmdbcc r9, {r0, r1, r2, r3, r6, r9, fp, sp, lr, pc}^
c000d198: bf00e7c8 svclt 0x0000e7c8
c000d19c: 8000f3af andhi pc, r0, pc, lsr #7
c000d1a0: e88db092 stm sp, {r1, r4, r7, ip, sp, pc}
c000d1a4: 46e81fff ; <UNDEFINED> instruction: 0x46e81fff
c000d1a8: 8a00f3ef bhi 0xc004a16c
c000d1ac: 0a0cf08a beq 0xc03493dc
I have included more above, because it's relevant. The PSR flags which
we can see in the oops dump are nZCv, so Z and C are set.
All the above ARM instructions are not executed, except for two.
c000d1a0, which has no writeback, and writes below the current stack
pointer (and that data is lost when we take the next exception.) The
other instruction which is executed is c000d1ac, which takes us to...
0xc03493dc. However, remember that bit 1 of the PC got set. So that
makes the PC value 0xc03493de.
And that value is the value we find in the oops dump for PC. What is
the instruction here when interpreted in ARM mode?
0: f71e150c ; <UNDEFINED> instruction: 0xf71e150c
and there we have our undefined instruction (remember that the 'never'
condition code, 0xf, has been deprecated and is now always executed as
it is now being used for additional instructions.)
This path also nicely explains the state of the stack we see in the oops
dump too.
The above is a consistent and sane story for how we got to the oops
dump, which all stems from the instruction at 0xc000d18a being wrong.

Fortunately, the sirfsoc_gpio_set_pull is not used anywhere in the

This has the undesirable effect of breaking the EFI boot stub because

never compiled.
It should also be noted that because $(USERINCLUDE) isn't exported by

As suggested by Andrew Morton:
This is a pet peeve of mine. Any time there's a long list of items
(header file inclusions, kconfig entries, array initalisers, etc) and
someone wants to add a new item, they *always* go and stick it at the
end of the list.
Guys, don't do this. Either put the new item into a randomly-chosen
position or, probably better, alphanumerically sort the list.
lets sort all our select statements alphanumerically. This commit was
created by the following perl:
while (<>) {
while (/\\\s*$/) {
$_ .= <>;
}
undef %selects if /^\s*config\s+/;
if (/^\s+select\s+(\w+).*/) {
if (defined($selects{$1})) {
if ($selects{$1} eq $_) {
print STDERR "Warning: removing duplicated $1 entry\n";
} else {
print STDERR "Error: $1 differently selected\n".
"\tOld: $selects{$1}\n".
"\tNew: $_\n";
exit 1;
}
}
$selects{$1} = $_;
next;
}
if (%selects and (/^\s*$/ or /^\s+help/ or /^\s+---help---/ or
/^endif/ or /^endchoice/)) {
foreach $k (sort (keys %selects)) {
print "$selects{$k}";
}
undef %selects;
}
print;
}
if (%selects) {
foreach $k (sort (keys %selects)) {
print "$selects{$k}";
}
}
It found two duplicates:
Warning: removing duplicated S5P_SETUP_MIPIPHY entry
Warning: removing duplicated HARDIRQS_SW_RESEND entry
and they are identical duplicates, hence the shrinkage in the diffstat
of two lines.

At that point the rest of kernel_thread/kernel_execve/sys_execve work
can be done independently for different architectures. The only
pending bits that do depend on having all architectures converted are
restrictred to fs/* and kernel/* - that'll obviously have to wait for
the next cycle.
I thought we'd have to wait for all of them done before we start
eliminating the longjump-style insanity in kernel_execve(), but it
turned out there's a very simple way to do that without flagday-style
changes."

audit: reverse arguments to audit_inode_child
audit: no need to walk list in audit_inode if name is NULL
audit: pass in dentry to audit_copy_inode wherever possible
audit: remove unnecessary NULL ptr checks from do_path_lookup
getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.
For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.
This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.
Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.

* allow kernel_execve() leave the actual return to userland to
caller (selected by CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_EXECVE). Callers
updated accordingly.
* architecture that does select GENERIC_KERNEL_EXECVE in its
Kconfig should have its ret_from_kernel_thread() do this:
call schedule_tail
call the callback left for it by copy_thread(); if it ever
returns, that's because it has just done successful kernel_execve()
jump to return from syscall
IOW, its only difference from ret_from_fork() is that it does call the
callback.
* such an architecture should also get rid of ret_from_kernel_execve()
and __ARCH_WANT_KERNEL_EXECVE
This is the last part of infrastructure patches in that area - from
that point on work on different architectures can live independently.

Merge tag 'stable/for-linus-3.7-rc0-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen
Pull Xen fixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"This has four bug-fixes and one tiny feature that I forgot to put
initially in my tree due to oversight.
The feature is for kdump kernels to speed up the /proc/vmcore reading.
There is a ram_is_pfn helper function that the different platforms can
register for. We are now doing that.
The bug-fixes cover some embarrassing struct pv_cpu_ops variables
being set to NULL on Xen (but not baremetal). We had a similar issue
in the past with {write|read}_msr_safe and this fills the three
missing ones. The other bug-fix is to make the console output (hvc)
be capable of dealing with misbehaving backends and not fall flat on
its face. Lastly, a quirk for older XenBus implementations that came
with an ancient v3.4 hypervisor (so RHEL5 based) - reading of certain
non-existent attributes just hangs the guest during bootup - so we
take precaution of not doing that on such older installations.
Feature:
- Register a pfn_is_ram helper to speed up reading of /proc/vmcore.
Bug-fixes:
- Three pvops call for Xen were undefined causing BUG_ONs.
- Add a quirk so that the shutdown watches (used by kdump) are not
used with older Xen (3.4).
- Fix ungraceful state transition for the HVC console."
