2012-03-30microblaze: Fix stack usage in PAGE_SIZE copy_tofrom_userMichal Simek
If access to user space failed we need to reconstruct stack pointer and restore all register. This patch fixed problem introduces by: "microblaze: Add loop unrolling for PAGE in copy_tofrom_user" (sha1: ebe211254bfa6295f4ab0b33c7c881bdfabbab60) Signed-off-by: Michal Simek <monstr@monstr.eu>

2012-03-23microblaze: Handle TLB skip size dynamicallyMichal Simek
This patch fix the problem with rootfs on JFFS2 with early printk console turned on. The origin version used TLB63 for temporary early printk mapping. The code expect that kernel is not able to use all 64 TLB entries till early printk console is remapped by ioremap. After that temporary mapping on TLB63 is silently lost. This expectation give the opportunity to have early console pretty early. Microblaze systems with JFFS2 rootfs with early printk console turned on used more than 64 TLB entries before kernel can remap early console. Based on that kernel does access to bad area because early printk mapping is rewritten. This patch introduces tlb_skip variable which dynamically stores number of skipped TLB entries from the TLB0. skip_tlb=2 means that TLB0 and TLB1 should be skipped. MICROBLAZE_TLB_SKIP defines how many TLB is skipped at the kernel start. They can be used for user purpose. TLB 63 is used for temporary LMB mapping (MICROBLAZE_LMB_TLB_ID). Also clean TLBLO when kernel starts. For specific kernel sizes kernel can use just one TLB. Detect this case and use the second TLB for general purpose. Change _tlbia function to flush TLB entries from tlb_skip to TLB_SIZE. Export tlb_skip size through debugfs. Signed-off-by: Michal Simek <monstr@monstr.eu>

Newer version of binutils are more strict about specifying the correct options to enable certain classes of instructions. The sparc32 build is done for v7 in order to support sun4c systems which lack hardware integer multiply and divide instructions.

2012-03-13tile: Use set_current_blocked() and block_sigmask()Matt Fleming
As described in e6fa16ab ("signal: sigprocmask() should do retarget_shared_pending()") the modification of current->blocked is incorrect as we need to check whether the signal we're about to block is pending in the shared queue. Also, use the new helper function introduced in commit 5e6292c0f28f ("signal: add block_sigmask() for adding sigmask to current->blocked") which centralises the code for updating current->blocked after successfully delivering a signal and reduces the amount of duplicate code across architectures. In the past some architectures got this code wrong, so using this helper function should stop that from happening again.

2012-03-09x86: Derandom delay_tsc for 64 bitThomas Gleixner
Commit f0fbf0abc093 ("x86: integrate delay functions") converted delay_tsc() into a random delay generator for 64 bit. The reason is that it merged the mostly identical versions of delay_32.c and delay_64.c. Though the subtle difference of the result was: static void delay_tsc(unsigned long loops) { - unsigned bclock, now; + unsigned long bclock, now; Now the function uses rdtscl() which returns the lower 32bit of the TSC. On 32bit that's not problematic as unsigned long is 32bit. On 64 bit this fails when the lower 32bit are close to wrap around when bclock is read, because the following check if ((now - bclock) >= loops) break; evaluated to true on 64bit for e.g. bclock = 0xffffffff and now = 0 because the unsigned long (now - bclock) of these values results in 0xffffffff00000001 which is definitely larger than the loops value. That explains Tvortkos observation: "Because I am seeing udelay(500) (_occasionally_) being short, and that by delaying for some duration between 0us (yep) and 491us." Make those variables explicitely u32 again, so this works for both 32 and 64 bit.

2012-03-07ARM: 7354/1: perf: limit sample_period to half max_period in non-sampling modeWill Deacon
On ARM, the PMU does not stop counting after an overflow and therefore IRQ latency affects the new counter value read by the kernel. This is significant for non-sampling runs where it is possible for the new value to overtake the previous one, causing the delta to be out by up to max_period events. Commit a737823d ("ARM: 6835/1: perf: ensure overflows aren't missed due to IRQ latency") attempted to fix this problem by allowing interrupt handlers to pass an overflow flag to the event update function, causing the overflow calculation to assume that the counter passed through zero when going from prev to new. Unfortunately, this doesn't work when overflow occurs on the perf_task_tick path because we have the flag cleared and end up computing a large negative delta. This patch removes the overflow flag from armpmu_event_update and instead limits the sample_period to half of the max_period for non-sampling profiling runs.
