sparc64: Fix several bugs in memmove().

2015-03-26T14:00:55+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2077cef4d5c29cf886192ec32066f783d6a80db8 ] Firstly, handle zero length calls properly. Believe it or not there are a few of these happening during early boot. Next, we can't just drop to a memcpy() call in the forward copy case where dst <= src. The reason is that the cache initializing stores used in the Niagara memcpy() implementations can end up clearing out cache lines before we've sourced their original contents completely. For example, considering NG4memcpy, the main unrolled loop begins like this: load src + 0x00 load src + 0x08 load src + 0x10 load src + 0x18 load src + 0x20 store dst + 0x00 Assume dst is 64 byte aligned and let's say that dst is src - 8 for this memcpy() call. That store at the end there is the one to the first line in the cache line, thus clearing the whole line, which thus clobbers "src + 0x28" before it even gets loaded. To avoid this, just fall through to a simple copy only mildly optimized for the case where src and dst are 8 byte aligned and the length is a multiple of 8 as well. We could get fancy and call GENmemcpy() but this is good enough for how this thing is actually used. Reported-by: David Ahern Reported-by: Bob Picco Signed-off-by: David S.

sparc: Touch NMI watchdog when walking cpus and calling printk

2015-03-26T14:00:55+00:00

[ Upstream commit 31aaa98c248da766ece922bbbe8cc78cfd0bc920 ] With the increase in number of CPUs calls to functions that dump output to console (e.g., arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace) can take a long time to complete. If IRQs are disabled eventually the NMI watchdog kicks in and creates more havoc. Avoid by telling the NMI watchdog everything is ok. Signed-off-by: David Ahern Signed-off-by: David S.

sparc: perf: Make counting mode actually work

2015-03-26T14:00:55+00:00

[ Upstream commit d51291cb8f32bfae6b331e1838651f3ddefa73a5 ] Currently perf-stat (aka, counting mode) does not work: $ perf stat ls ... Performance counter stats for 'ls': 1.585665 task-clock (msec) # 0.580 CPUs utilized 24 context-switches # 0.015 M/sec 0 cpu-migrations # 0.000 K/sec 86 page-faults # 0.054 M/sec cycles stalled-cycles-frontend stalled-cycles-backend instructions branches branch-misses 0.002735100 seconds time elapsed The reason is that state is never reset (stays with PERF_HES_UPTODATE set). Add a call to sparc_pmu_enable_event during the added_event handling. Clean up the encoding since pmu_start calls sparc_pmu_enable_event which does the same. Passing PERF_EF_RELOAD to sparc_pmu_start means the call to sparc_perf_event_set_period can be removed as well. With this patch: $ perf stat ls ... Performance counter stats for 'ls': 1.552890 task-clock (msec) # 0.552 CPUs utilized 24 context-switches # 0.015 M/sec 0 cpu-migrations # 0.000 K/sec 86 page-faults # 0.055 M/sec 5,748,997 cycles # 3.702 GHz stalled-cycles-frontend:HG stalled-cycles-backend:HG 1,684,362 instructions:HG # 0.29 insns per cycle 295,133 branches:HG # 190.054 M/sec 28,007 branch-misses:HG # 9.49% of all branches 0.002815665 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by: David Ahern Acked-by: Bob Picco Signed-off-by: David S.

sparc: perf: Remove redundant perf_pmu_{en|dis}able calls

2015-03-26T14:00:54+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5b0d4b5514bbcce69b516d0742f2cfc84ebd6db3 ] perf_pmu_disable is called by core perf code before pmu->del and the enable function is called by core perf code afterwards.

sparc: semtimedop() unreachable due to comparison error

2015-03-26T14:00:54+00:00

[ Upstream commit 53eb2516972b8c4628651dfcb926cb9ef8b2864a ] A bug was reported that the semtimedop() system call was always failing eith ENOSYS. Since SEMCTL is defined as 3, and SEMTIMEDOP is defined as 4, the comparison "call <= SEMCTL" will always prevent SEMTIMEDOP from getting through to the semaphore ops switch statement. This is corrected by changing the comparison to "call <= SEMTIMEDOP". Orabug: 20633375 Signed-off-by: Rob Gardner Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

sparc32: destroy_context() and switch_mm() needs to disable interrupts.

2015-03-26T14:00:54+00:00

[ Upstream commit 66d0f7ec9f1038452178b1993fc07fd96d30fd38 ] Load balancing can be triggered in the critical sections protected by srmmu_context_spinlock in destroy_context() and switch_mm() and can hang the cpu waiting for the rq lock of another cpu that in turn has called switch_mm hangning on srmmu_context_spinlock leading to deadlock. So, disable interrupt while taking srmmu_context_spinlock in destroy_context() and switch_mm() so we don't deadlock.

crypto: prefix module autoloading with "crypto-"

commit 5d26a105b5a73e5635eae0629b42fa0a90e07b7b upstream. This prefixes all crypto module loading with "crypto-" so we never run the risk of exposing module auto-loading to userspace via a crypto API, as demonstrated by Mathias Krause: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/4/70 Signed-off-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

arch: mm: pass userspace fault flag to generic fault handler

2014-11-21T17:22:56+00:00

commit 759496ba6407c6994d6a5ce3a5e74937d7816208 upstream. Unlike global OOM handling, memory cgroup code will invoke the OOM killer in any OOM situation because it has no way of telling faults occuring in kernel context - which could be handled more gracefully - from user-triggered faults. Pass a flag that identifies faults originating in user space from the architecture-specific fault handlers to generic code so that memcg OOM handling can be improved.

sparc32: Implement xchg and atomic_xchg using ATOMIC_HASH locks

2014-11-21T17:22:52+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1a17fdc4f4ed06b63fac1937470378a5441a663a ] Atomicity between xchg and cmpxchg cannot be guaranteed when xchg is implemented with a swap and cmpxchg is implemented with locks.
