hwmon: (sht15) Fix integer overflow in humidity calculation

2011-03-23T20:16:59+00:00

commit ccd32e735de7a941906e093f8dca924bb05c5794 upstream. An integer overflow occurs in the calculation of RHlinear when the relative humidity is greater than around 30%. The consequence is a subtle (but noticeable) error in the resulting humidity measurement.

x86, binutils, xen: Fix another wrong size directive

2011-03-23T20:16:58+00:00

commit 371c394af27ab7d1e58a66bc19d9f1f3ac1f67b4 upstream. The latest binutils (2.21.0.20110302/Ubuntu) breaks the build yet another time, under CONFIG_XEN=y due to a .size directive that refers to a slightly differently named (hence, to the now very strict and unforgiving assembler, non-existent) symbol. [ mingo: This unnecessary build breakage caused by new binutils version 2.21 gets escallated back several kernel releases spanning several years of Linux history, affecting over 130,000 upstream kernel commits (!), on CONFIG_XEN=y 64-bit kernels (i.e. essentially affecting all major Linux distro kernel configs). Git annotate tells us that this slight debug symbol code mismatch bug has been introduced in 2008 in commit 3d75e1b8: 3d75e1b8 (Jeremy Fitzhardinge 2008-07-08 15:06:49 -0700 1231) ENTRY(xen_do_hypervisor_callback) # do_hypervisor_callback(struct *pt_regs) The 'bug' is just a slight assymetry in ENTRY()/END() debug-symbols sequences, with lots of assembly code between the ENTRY() and the END(): ENTRY(xen_do_hypervisor_callback) # do_hypervisor_callback(struct *pt_regs) ... END(do_hypervisor_callback) Human reviewers almost never catch such small mismatches, and binutils never even warned about it either. This new binutils version thus breaks the Xen build on all upstream kernels since v2.6.27, out of the blue. This makes a straightforward Git bisection of all 64-bit Xen-enabled kernels impossible on such binutils, for a bisection window of over hundred thousand historic commits. (!) This is a major fail on the side of binutils and binutils needs to turn this show-stopper build failure into a warning ASAP. ] Signed-off-by: Alexander van Heukelum Cc: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Cc: Jan Beulich Cc: H.J.

powerpc: rtas_flash needs to use rtas_data_buf

2011-03-23T20:16:58+00:00

commit bd2b64a12bf55bec0d1b949e3dca3f8863409646 upstream. When trying to flash a machine via the update_flash command, Anton received the following error: Restarting system. FLASH: kernel bug...flash list header addr above 4GB The code in question has a comment that the flash list should be in the kernel data and therefore under 4GB: /* NOTE: the "first" block list is a global var with no data * blocks in the kernel data segment. We do this because * we want to ensure this block_list addr is under 4GB. */ Unfortunately the Kconfig option is marked tristate which means the variable may not be in the kernel data and could be above 4GB. Instead of relying on the data segment being below 4GB, use the static data buffer allocated by the kernel for use by rtas. Since we don't use the header struct directly anymore, convert it to a simple pointer.

powerpc/kdump: Fix race in kdump shutdown

2011-03-23T20:16:58+00:00

commit 60adec6226bbcf061d4c2d10944fced209d1847d upstream. When we are crashing, the crashing/primary CPU IPIs the secondaries to turn off IRQs, go into real mode and wait in kexec_wait. While this is happening, the primary tears down all the MMU maps. Unfortunately the primary doesn't check to make sure the secondaries have entered real mode before doing this. On PHYP machines, the secondaries can take a long time shutting down the IRQ controller as RTAS calls are need. These RTAS calls need to be serialised which resilts in the secondaries contending in lock_rtas() and hence taking a long time to shut down. We've hit this on large POWER7 machines, where some secondaries are still waiting in lock_rtas(), when the primary tears down the HPTEs. This patch makes sure all secondaries are in real mode before the primary tears down the MMU. It uses the new kexec_state entry in the paca. It times out if the secondaries don't reach real mode after 10sec.

powerpc/kexec: Fix race in kexec shutdown

2011-03-23T20:16:57+00:00

commit 1fc711f7ffb01089efc58042cfdbac8573d1b59a upstream. In kexec_prepare_cpus, the primary CPU IPIs the secondary CPUs to kexec_smp_down(). kexec_smp_down() calls kexec_smp_wait() which sets the hw_cpu_id() to -1. The primary does this while leaving IRQs on which means the primary can take a timer interrupt which can lead to the IPIing one of the secondary CPUs (say, for a scheduler re-balance) but since the secondary CPU now has a hw_cpu_id = -1, we IPI CPU -1... Kaboom! We are hitting this case regularly on POWER7 machines. There is also a second race, where the primary will tear down the MMU mappings before knowing the secondaries have entered real mode. Also, the secondaries are clearing out any pending IPIs before guaranteeing that no more will be received. This changes kexec_prepare_cpus() so that we turn off IRQs in the primary CPU much earlier. It adds a paca flag to say that the secondaries have entered the kexec_smp_down() IPI and turned off IRQs, rather than overloading hw_cpu_id with -1. This new paca flag is again used to in indicate when the secondaries has entered real mode. It also ensures that all CPUs have their IRQs off before we clear out any pending IPI requests (in kexec_cpu_down()) to ensure there are no trailing IPIs left unacknowledged.

mmc: sdio: remember new card RCA when redetecting card

2011-03-23T20:16:57+00:00

commit 0aab3995485b8a994bf29a995a008c9ea4a28054 upstream. During redetection of a SDIO card, a request for a new card RCA was submitted to the card, but was then overwritten by the old RCA. This caused the card to be deselected instead of selected when using the incorrect RCA. This bug's been present since the "oldcard" handling was introduced in 2.6.32.

smp_call_function_many: handle concurrent clearing of mask

2011-03-23T20:16:55+00:00

commit 723aae25d5cdb09962901d36d526b44d4be1051c upstream. Mike Galbraith reported finding a lockup ("perma-spin bug") where the cpumask passed to smp_call_function_many was cleared by other cpu(s) while a cpu was preparing its call_data block, resulting in no cpu to clear the last ref and unlock the block. Having cpus clear their bit asynchronously could be useful on a mask of cpus that might have a translation context, or cpus that need a push to complete an rcu window. Instead of adding a BUG_ON and requiring yet another cpumask copy, just detect the race and handle it. Note: arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask must still handle an empty cpumask because the data block is globally visible before the that arch callback is made. And (obviously) there are no guarantees to which cpus are notified if the mask is changed during the call; only cpus that were online and had their mask bit set during the whole call are guaranteed to be called.
