OK, so what I'm actually seeing on my WSM is that sched/clock.c is
'broken' for the purpose we're using it for.

What triggered it is that my WSM-EP is broken :-(

  [    0.001000] tsc: Fast TSC calibration using PIT
  [    0.002000] tsc: Detected 2533.715 MHz processor
  [    0.500180] TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#6]:
  [    0.505197] Measured 3 cycles TSC warp between CPUs, turning off TSC clock.
  [    0.004000] tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to check_tsc_sync_source failed

For some reason it consistently detects TSC skew, even though NHM+
should have a single clock domain for 'reasonable' systems.

This marks sched_clock_stable=0, which means that we do fancy stuff to
try and get a 'sane' clock. Part of this fancy stuff relies on the tick,
clearly that's gone when NOHZ=y. So for idle cpus time gets stuck, until
it either wakes up or gets kicked by another cpu.

While this is perfectly fine for the scheduler -- it only cares about
actually running stuff, and when we're running stuff we're obviously not
idle. This does somewhat break down for perf which can trigger events
just fine on an otherwise idle cpu.

So I've got NMIs get get 'measured' as taking ~1ms, which actually
don't last nearly that long:

          <idle>-0     [013] d.h.   886.311970: rcu_nmi_enter <-do_nmi
  ...
          <idle>-0     [013] d.h.   886.311997: perf_sample_event_took: HERE!!! : 1040990

So ftrace (which uses sched_clock(), not the fancy bits) only sees
~27us, but we measure ~1ms !!

Now since all this measurement stuff lives in x86 code, we can actually
fix it.

The PPC64 people noticed a missing memory barrier and crufty old
comments in the perf ring buffer code. So update all the comments and
add the missing barrier.

When the architecture implements local_t using atomic_long_t there
will be double barriers issued; but short of introducing more
conditional barrier primitives this is the best we can do.

Since the beginning of the parisc-linux port, sometimes 64bit SMP kernels were
not able to bring up other CPUs than the monarch CPU and instead crashed the
kernel.  The reason was unclear, esp. since it involved various machines (e.g.
J5600, J6750 and SuperDome). Testing showed, that those crashes didn't happened
when less than 4GB were installed, or if a 32bit Linux kernel was booted.

In the end, the fix for those SMP problems is trivial:
During the early phase of the initialization of the CPUs, including the monarch
CPU, the PDC_PSW firmware function to enable WIDE (=64bit) mode is called.
It's documented that this firmware function may clobber various registers, and
one one of those possibly clobbered registers is %cr30 which holds the task
thread info pointer.

Now, if %cr30 would always have been clobbered, then this bug would have been
detected much earlier. But lots of testing finally showed, that - at least for
%cr30 - on some machines only the upper 32bits of the 64bit register suddenly
turned zero after the firmware call.

So, after finding the root cause, the explanation for the various crashes
became clear:
- On 32bit SMP Linux kernels all upper 32bit were zero, so we didn't faced this
  problem.
- Monarch CPUs in 64bit mode always booted sucessfully, because the inital task
  thread info pointer was below 4GB.
- Secondary CPUs booted sucessfully on machines with less than 4GB RAM because
  the upper 32bit were zero anyay.
- Secondary CPus failed to boot if we had more than 4GB RAM and the task thread
  info pointer was located above the 4GB boundary.

Finally, the patch to fix this problem is trivial by saving the %cr30 register
before the firmware call and restoring it afterwards.

  nfsd regression since delayed fput()

The "legacy" ECC layout used until 3.12-rc1 uses all the OOB area by
computing the ECC strength and ECC step size ourselves.

Commit 2febcdf8 ("mtd: gpmi: set the BCHs geometry with the ecc info")
makes the driver use the ECC info (ECC strength and ECC step size)
provided by the MTD code, and creates a different NAND ECC layout
for the BCH, and use the new ECC layout. This causes a regression:

   We can not mount the ubifs which was created by the old NAND ECC layout.

This patch fixes this issue by reverting to the legacy ECC layout.

We will probably introduce a new device-tree property to indicate that
the new ECC layout can be used. For now though, for the imminent 3.12
release, we just unconditionally revert to the 3.11 behaviour.

This leaves a harmless cosmetic warning about an unused function. At

This issue was first pointed out by Jiaxing Wang several months ago, but no

https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/29/41



As we know pread() does not change f_pos, so after pread(), file->f_pos
and m->read_pos become different. And seq_lseek() does not update file->f_pos
if offset equals to m->read_pos, so after pread() and seq_lseek()(lseek to
m->read_pos), then a subsequent read may read from a wrong position, the
following program produces the problem:

    char str1[32] = { 0 };
    char str2[32] = { 0 };
    int poffset = 10;
    int count = 20;

    /*open any seq file*/
    int fd = open("/proc/modules", O_RDONLY);

    pread(fd, str1, count, poffset);
    printf("pread:%s\n", str1);

    /*seek to where m->read_pos is*/
    lseek(fd, poffset+count, SEEK_SET);

    /*supposed to read from poffset+count, but this read from position 0*/
    read(fd, str2, count);
    printf("read:%s\n", str2);

out put:
pread:
 ck_netbios_ns 12665
read:
 nf_conntrack_netbios

/proc/modules:
nf_conntrack_netbios_ns 12665 0 - Live 0xffffffffa038b000
nf_conntrack_broadcast 12589 1 nf_conntrack_netbios_ns, Live 0xffffffffa0386000

So we always update file->f_pos to offset in seq_lseek() to fix this issue.

  mtd: nand: pxa3xx: Remove hardcoded mtd name

  There's no advantage in using a hardcoded name for the mtd device.
  Instead use the provided by the platform_device.

The MTD name was changed to use the one provided by the platform_device.
However, this can be problematic as some users want to set partitions
using the kernel parameter 'mtdparts', where the name is needed.

Therefore, to avoid regressions in users relying in 'mtdparts' we revert
the change and use the previous one 'pxa3xx_nand-0'.

While at it, let's put a big comment and prevent this change from happening

Upon further investigation using the valgrind massif tool, we noticed
that Python objects that are created in trace-event-python.c via
PyString_FromString*() (and their Integer and Long counterparts) are
never free'd.

The reason for this seem to be missing Py_DECREF calls on the objects
that are returned by these functions and stored in the Python
dictionaries. The Python dictionaries do not steal references (as
opposed to Python tuples and lists) but instead add their own reference.

Hence, the reference that is returned by these object creation functions
is never released and the memory is leaked. (see [1,2])

The attached patch fixes this by wrapping all relevant calls to
PyDict_SetItemString() and decrementing the reference counter
immediately after the Python function call.

This reduces the allocated memory to a reasonable amount:

  $> /usr/bin/time perf script -i perf.data -s dummy_script.py
  0.73user 0.05system 0:00.79elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata
  49132maxresident)k
  0inputs+0outputs (0major+14045minor)pagefaults 0swaps

For comparison, with a 120 MiB input file the memory consumption
reported by time drops from almost 600 MiB to 146 MiB.

The patch has been tested using Linux 3.8.2 with Python 2.7.4 and Linux
3.11.6 with Python 2.7.5.

This patch adds an explicit check + failure for XCOPY I/O to source +
destination devices with a non-matching block_size.

This limitiation is currently due to the fact that the scatterlist
memory allocated for the XCOPY READ operation is passed zero-copy
to the XCOPY WRITE operation.

This patch adds the missing non-zero se_cmd->scsi_status check required
for local XCOPY I/O within target_xcopy_issue_pt_cmd() to signal an
exception case failure.

This will trigger the generation of SAM_STAT_CHECK_CONDITION status
from within target_xcopy_do_work() process context code.

This patch adds the missing xcopy_pt_cmd->sense_buffer[] required for
correctly handling CHECK_CONDITION exceptions within the locally
generated XCOPY I/O path.

Also update target_xcopy_read_source() + target_xcopy_setup_pt_cmd()
to pass this buffer into transport_init_se_cmd() to correctly setup
se_cmd->sense_buffer.

SCSI discard will damage discard stripe bio setting, eg, some fields are
changed. If the stripe is reused very soon, we have wrong bios setting. We
remove discard stripe from hash list, so next time the strip will be fully
initialized.

Suitable for backport to 3.7+.
