Michael Ellerman 30f30e1305 [POWERPC] Fix mem= handling when the memory limit is > RMO size
There's a bug in my cleaned up mem= handling, if the memory limit is
larger than the RMO size we'll erroneously enlarge the RMO size.

Fix is to only change the RMO size if the memory limit is less than
the current RMO value.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 98c82472e9 [POWERPC] More offb/bootx fixes
There were still some issues with offb when BootX doesn't provide a
proper display node, this fixes them.  This also re-instates the
palette hacks that were disabled a couple of kernel versions ago when
I converted to the new OF parsing, and shuffles some functions around
to avoid prototypes.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 45507ff3a2 [POWERPC] Fix legacy_serial.c error handling on 32 bits
The code in legacy_serial.c wouldn't properly compare OF translation
results against OF_BAD_ADDR as it's using a phys_addr_t which is 32
bits on some 32-bit powerpc platforms. This fixes it by always using
a u64 which is what is returned by the OF parsing routines. It also
makes translation failure harmless for ISA serial ports.  If they
can't translate, we can't use the UART early, but we can still let the
8250 driver use it later on by using IO port accessors.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 8cffc6ac66 [POWERPC] Fix non-MPIC CHRPs with CONFIG_SMP set
Pseudo-CHRP machines like Pegasos without an MPIC would crash at boot if
CONFIG_SMP was set because the "smp_ops" pointer was set to MPIC related
ops unconditionally. This patch makes it NULL on machines that don't
support SMP and provides proper default behaviour in the callers when

Locally generated broadcast and multicast packets have pkttype set to
PACKET_LOOPBACK instead of PACKET_BROADCAST or PACKET_MULTICAST. This
causes the pkttype match to fail to match packets of either type.

The below patch remedies this by using the daddr as a hint as to
broadcast|multicast. While not pretty, this seems like the only way
to solve the problem short of just noting this as a limitation of the
match.

I went to alter the default sysctl and it didn't take for new sockets.

I think the default is too low but it is what the DCCP spec specifies.

As a side effect of this my rx speed using iperf goes from about 2.8 Mbits/sec
to 3.5. This is still far too slow but it is a step in the right direction.

Paul Jackson abb5a5cc6b [PATCH] Cpuset: fix ABBA deadlock with cpu hotplug lock
Fix ABBA deadlock between lock_cpu_hotplug() and the cpuset
callback_mutex lock.

It only happens on cpu_exclusive cpusets, due to the dynamic
sched domain code trying to take the cpu hotplug lock inside
the cpuset callback_mutex lock.

This bug has apparently been here for several months, but didn't
get hit until the right customer load on a large system.

This fix appears right from inspection, but it will take a few
more days running it on that customers workload to be confident
we nailed it.  We don't have any other reproducible test case.

The cpu_hotplug_lock() tends to cover large runs of code.
The other places that hold both that lock and the cpuset callback
mutex lock always nest the cpuset lock inside the hotplug lock.
This place tries to do the reverse, risking an ABBA deadlock.

This is in the cpuset_rmdir() code, where we:
  * take the callback_mutex lock
  * mark the cpuset CS_REMOVED
  * call update_cpu_domains for cpu_exclusive cpusets
  * in that call, take the cpu_hotplug lock if the
    cpuset is marked for removal.

Thanks to Jack Steiner for identifying this deadlock.

The fix is to tear down the dynamic sched domain before we grab
the cpuset callback_mutex lock.  This way, the two locks are
serialized, with the hotplug lock taken and released before
trying for the cpuset lock.

I suspect that this bug was introduced when I changed the
cpuset locking from one lock to two.  The dynamic sched domain
dependency on cpu_exclusive cpusets and its hotplug hooks were
added to this code earlier, when cpusets had only a single lock.
It may well have been fine then.

Linus Torvalds aa95387774 cpu hotplug: simplify and hopefully fix locking
The CPU hotplug locking was quite messy, with a recursive lock to
handle the fact that both the actual up/down sequence wanted to
protect itself from being re-entered, but the callbacks that it
called also tended to want to protect themselves from CPU events.

This splits the lock into two (one to serialize the whole hotplug
sequence, the other to protect against the CPU present bitmaps
changing). The latter still allows recursive usage because some
subsystems (ondemand policy for cpufreq at least) had already gotten
too used to the lax locking, but the locking mistakes are hopefully
now less fundamental, and we now warn about recursive lock usage
when we see it, in the hope that it can be fixed.
