drivers/base: cacheinfo: handle absence of caches

2015-06-01T01:34:24Z

On some simulators like GEM5, caches may not be simulated. In those cases, the cache levels and leaves will be zero and will result in following exception: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0040 pgd = ffffffc0008fa000 [00000040] *pgd=00000009f6807003, *pud=00000009f6807003, *pmd=00000009f6808003, *pte=006000002c010707 Internal error: Oops: 96000005 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 1 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.1.0-rc5 #198 task: ffffffc9768a0000 ti: ffffffc9768a8000 task.ti: ffffffc9768a8000 PC is at detect_cache_attributes+0x98/0x2c8 LR is at detect_cache_attributes+0x88/0x2c8 kcalloc(0) returns a special value ZERO_SIZE_PTR which is non-NULL value but results in fault only on any attempt to dereferencing it. So checking for the non-NULL pointer will not suffice. This patch checks for non-zero cache leaf nodes and returns error if there are no cache leaves in detect_cache_attributes.

drivers: of/base: move of_init to driver_init

2015-05-27T02:55:56Z

Commit 5590f3196b29 ("drivers/core/of: Add symlink to device-tree from devices with an OF node") adds the symlink `of_node` for each device pointing to it's device tree node while creating/initialising it. However the devicetree sysfs is created and setup in of_init which is executed at core_initcall level. For all the devices created before of_init, the following error is thrown: "Error -2(-ENOENT) creating of_node link" Like many other components in driver model, initialize the sysfs support for OF/devicetree from driver_init so that it's ready before any devices are created.

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki: "These are mostly fixes and cleanups all over, although there are a few items that sort of fall into the new feature category. First off, we have new callbacks for PM domains that should help us to handle some issues related to device initialization in a better way. There also is some consolidation in the unified device properties API area allowing us to use that inferface for accessing data coming from platform initialization code in addition to firmware-provided data. We have some new device/CPU IDs in a few drivers, support for new chips and a new cpufreq driver too.

mm, hotplug: fix concurrent memory hot-add deadlock

2015-04-14T23:49:00Z

There's a deadlock when concurrently hot-adding memory through the probe interface and switching a memory block from offline to online. When hot-adding memory via the probe interface, add_memory() first takes mem_hotplug_begin() and then device_lock() is later taken when registering the newly initialized memory block. This creates a lock dependency of (1) mem_hotplug.lock (2) dev->mutex. When switching a memory block from offline to online, dev->mutex is first grabbed in device_online() when the write(2) transitions an existing memory block from offline to online, and then online_pages() will take mem_hotplug_begin(). This creates a lock inversion between mem_hotplug.lock and dev->mutex. Vitaly reports that this deadlock can happen when kworker handling a probe event races with systemd-udevd switching a memory block's state. This patch requires the state transition to take mem_hotplug_begin() before dev->mutex. Hot-adding memory via the probe interface creates a memory block while holding mem_hotplug_begin(), there is no way to take dev->mutex first in this case. online_pages() and offline_pages() are only called when transitioning memory block state. We now require that mem_hotplug_begin() is taken before calling them -- this requires exporting the mem_hotplug_begin() and mem_hotplug_done() to generic code. In all hot-add and hot-remove cases, mem_hotplug_begin() is done prior to device_online(). This is all that is needed to avoid the deadlock.
