xen/events: don't bind non-percpu VIRQs with percpu chip

2015-06-09T17:43:54+00:00

[ Upstream commit 77bb3dfdc0d554befad58fdefbc41be5bc3ed38a ] A non-percpu VIRQ (e.g., VIRQ_CONSOLE) may be freed on a different VCPU than it is bound to. This can result in a race between handle_percpu_irq() and removing the action in __free_irq() because handle_percpu_irq() does not take desc->lock. The interrupt handler sees a NULL action and oopses. Only use the percpu chip/handler for per-CPU VIRQs (like VIRQ_TIMER). # cat /proc/interrupts | grep virq 40: 87246 0 xen-percpu-virq timer0 44: 0 0 xen-percpu-virq debug0 47: 0 20995 xen-percpu-virq timer1 51: 0 0 xen-percpu-virq debug1 69: 0 0 xen-dyn-virq xen-pcpu 74: 0 0 xen-dyn-virq mce 75: 29 0 xen-dyn-virq hvc_console Signed-off-by: David Vrabel Cc: Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: "Here's a first pull request for powerpc updates for 3.18. The bulk of the additions are for the "cxl" driver, for IBM's Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface (CAPI). Most of it's in drivers/misc, which Greg & Arnd maintain, Greg said he was happy for us to take it through our tree. There's the usual minor cleanups and fixes, including a bit of noise in drivers from some of those. A bunch of updates to our EEH code, which has been getting more testing. Several nice speedups from Anton, including 20% in clear_page(). And a bunch of updates for freescale from Scott" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mpe/linux: (130 commits) cxl: Fix afu_read() not doing finish_wait() on signal or non-blocking cxl: Add documentation for userspace APIs cxl: Add driver to Kbuild and Makefiles cxl: Add userspace header file cxl: Driver code for powernv PCIe based cards for userspace access cxl: Add base builtin support powerpc/mm: Add hooks for cxl powerpc/opal: Add PHB to cxl mode call powerpc/mm: Add new hash_page_mm() powerpc/powerpc: Add new PCIe functions for allocating cxl interrupts cxl: Add new header for call backs and structs powerpc/powernv: Split out set MSI IRQ chip code powerpc/mm: Export mmu_kernel_ssize and mmu_linear_psize powerpc/msi: Improve IRQ bitmap allocator powerpc/cell: Make spu_flush_all_slbs() generic powerpc/cell: Move data segment faulting code out of cell platform powerpc/cell: Move spu_handle_mm_fault() out of cell platform powerpc/pseries: Use new defines when calling H_SET_MODE powerpc: Update contact info in Documentation files powerpc/perf/hv-24x7: Simplify catalog_read() ...

xen: remove DEFINE_XENBUS_DRIVER() macro

2014-10-06T09:27:57+00:00

The DEFINE_XENBUS_DRIVER() macro looks a bit weird and causes sparse errors. Replace the uses with standard structure definitions instead. This is similar to pci and usb device registration. Signed-off-by: David Vrabel

xen_hvc: no reason to write the type key on xenstore

2014-09-29T01:23:45+00:00

The backend type is chosen by the toolstack. Regardless, the frontend should not care, especially given that it cannot have an effect as the backend is started before this code is run. Signed-off-by: Stefano Stabellini Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tty: Update hypervisor tty drivers to use core stdout parsing code.

2014-06-26T16:12:23+00:00

The evh_bytechan, hvc_opal and hvc_vio drivers all open code the parsing of the stdout node in the device tree. This patch simplifies the driver by removing the duplicated functionality. Signed-off-by: Grant Likely
