MIPS: Fix poweroff failure when HOTPLUG_CPU configured.

2013-01-17T16:45:54Z

commit 8add1ecb81f541ef2fcb0b85a5470ad9ecfb4a84 upstream. When poweroff machine, kernel_power_off() call disable_nonboot_cpus(). And if we have HOTPLUG_CPU configured, disable_nonboot_cpus() is not an empty function but attempt to actually disable the nonboot cpus. Since system state is SYSTEM_POWER_OFF, play_dead() won't be called and thus disable_nonboot_cpus() hangs. Therefore, we make this patch to avoid poweroff failure.

MIPS: Fix endless loop when processing signals for kernel tasks

2012-12-05T18:59:00Z

The problem occurs [1] when a kernel-mode task returns from a system call with a pending signal. A real-life scenario is a child of 'khelper' returning from a failed kernel_execve() in ____call_usermodehelper() [ kernel/kmod.c ]. kernel_execve() fails due to a pending SIGKILL, which is the result of "kill -9 -1" (at least, busybox's init does it upon reboot). The loop is as follows: * syscall_exit_work: - work_pending: // start_of_the_loop - work_notifysig: - do_notify_resume() - do_signal() - if (!user_mode(regs)) return; - resume_userspace // TIF_SIGPENDING is still set - work_pending // so we call work_pending => goto // start_of_the_loop More information can be found in another LKML thread: http://www.serverphorums.com/read.php?12,457826 [1] The problem was also reproduced on !CONFIG_VM86 x86, and the following fix was accepted. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=29a2e2836ff9ea65a603c89df217f4198973a74f Signed-off-by: Dmitry Adamushko Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/3571/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

MIPS: N32: Fix signalfd4 syscall entry point

2012-12-05T18:58:48Z

This needs to use the compat entry point or it's going to fail on big endian systems. Noticed by Al Viro. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

MIPS: N32: Fix preadv(2) and pwritev(2) entry points.

2012-12-04T16:59:39Z

By using the native syscall entry point the kernel was also expecting 64-bit iovec structures. This is broken since ddd9e91b71072b8ebe89311c3a44b077defa1756 [preadv/ pwritev: MIPS: Add preadv(2) and pwritev(2) syscalls.] which originally added these two syscalls. I walked through piles of code, including libc and couldn't find anything that would have worked around the issue so this change the API to what it should always have been. Noticed and patch suggested by Al Viro. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

MIPS: Merge overlapping bootmem ranges

2012-11-23T17:44:37Z

Without this, we may end up with something like this in /proc/iomem: 01100000-014fffff : System RAM 01100000-013bf48f : Kernel code 013bf490-0149e01f : Kernel data 01500000-0c0fffff : System RAM but the two System RAM ranges should be one single range. This particular case will result in kexec failure on Octeon systems if the kernel being loaded by kexec is bigger than the already running kernel. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle
