parisc: Avoid stalled CPU warnings after system shutdown

2017-04-08T07:35:07+00:00

commit 476e75a44b56038bee9207242d4bc718f6b4de06 upstream. Commit 73580dac7618 ("parisc: Fix system shutdown halt") introduced an endless loop for systems which don't provide a software power off function. But the soft lockup detector will detect this and report stalled CPUs after some time. Avoid those unwanted warnings by disabling the soft lockup detector.

parisc: Clean up fixup routines for get_user()/put_user()

2017-04-08T07:35:07+00:00

commit d19f5e41b344a057bb2450024a807476f30978d2 upstream. Al Viro noticed that userspace accesses via get_user()/put_user() can be simplified a lot with regard to usage of the exception handling. This patch implements a fixup routine for get_user() and put_user() in such that the exception handler will automatically load -EFAULT into the register %r8 (the error value) in case on a fault on userspace. Additionally the fixup routine will zero the target register on fault in case of a get_user() call. The target register is extracted out of the faulting assembly instruction. This patch brings a few benefits over the old implementation: 1. Exception handling gets much cleaner, easier and smaller in size. 2. Helper functions like fixup_get_user_skip_1 (all of fixup.S) can be dropped. 3. No need to hardcode %r9 as target register for get_user() any longer. This helps the compiler register allocator and thus creates less assembler statements. 4. No dependency on the exception_data contents any longer. 5. Nested faults will be handled cleanly.

parisc: Fix system shutdown halt

2017-03-26T11:08:10+00:00

commit 73580dac7618e4bcd21679f553cf3c97323fec46 upstream. On those parisc machines which don't provide a software power off function, the system currently kills the init process at the end of a shutdown and unexpectedly restarts insteads of halting. Fix it by adding a loop which will not return. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

parisc: support R_PARISC_SECREL32 relocation in modules

2017-03-26T11:08:10+00:00

commit 5f655322b1ba4bd46e26e307d04098f9c84df764 upstream. The parisc kernel doesn't work with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS since the commit 71810db27c1c853b335675bee335d893bc3d324b. It can't load modules with the error: "module unix: Unknown relocation: 41". The commit changes __kcrctab from 64-bit valus to 32-bit values. The assembler generates R_PARISC_SECREL32 secrel relocation for them and the module loader doesn't support this relocation. This patch adds the R_PARISC_SECREL32 relocation to the module loader.

parisc: Optimize flush_kernel_vmap_range and invalidate_kernel_vmap_range

2017-03-26T11:08:10+00:00

commit 316ec0624f951166daedbe446988ef92ae72b59f upstream. The previously submitted patch did not resolve the random segmentation faults observed on the phantom buildd system. There are still unresolved problems with the Debian 4.8 and 4.9 kernels on C8000. The attached patch removes the flush of the offset map pages and does a whole data cache flush for large ranges. No other arch flushes the offset map in these routines as far as I can tell. I have not observed any random segmentation faults on rp3440 in two weeks of testing with 4.10.0 and 4.10.1.

parisc: Mark cr16 clocksource unstable on SMP systems

2016-12-29T20:51:30+00:00

The cr16 interval timer of each CPU is not syncronized to other cr16 timers in other CPUs in a SMP system. So, delay the registration of the cr16 clocksource until all CPUs have been detected and then - if we are on a SMP machine - mark the cr16 clocksource as unstable and lower it's rating before registering it at the clocksource framework. This patch fixes the stalled CPU warnings which we have seen since introduction of the cr16 clocksource. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller Cc: # v4.8+

clocksource: Use a plain u64 instead of cycle_t

There is no point in having an extra type for extra confusion. u64 is unambiguous. Conversion was done with the following coccinelle script: @rem@ @@ -typedef u64 cycle_t; @fix@ typedef cycle_t; @@ -cycle_t +u64 Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: John Stultz

parisc: Optimize timer interrupt function

2016-12-20T20:39:40+00:00

Restructure the timer interrupt function to better cope with missed timer irqs. Optimize the calculation when the next interrupt should happen and skip irqs if they would happen too shortly after exit of the irq function. The update_process_times() call is done anyway at every timer irq, so we can safely drop the prof_counter and prof_multiplier variables from the per_cpu structure. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller
