The low level interrupt entry code of m68k contains the following:
add_preempt_count(HARDIRQ_OFFSET);
do_IRQ();
irq_enter();
add_preempt_count(HARDIRQ_OFFSET);
handle_interrupt();
irq_exit();
sub_preempt_count(HARDIRQ_OFFSET);
if (in_interrupt())
return; <---- On m68k always taken!
if (local_softirq_pending())
do_softirq();
sub_preempt_count(HARDIRQ_OFFSET);
if (in_hardirq())
return;
if (status_on_stack_has_interrupt_priority_mask > 0)
return;
if (local_softirq_pending())
do_softirq();
ret_from_exception:
if (interrupted_context_is_kernel)
return:
....
I tried to find a proper explanation for this, but the changelog is
sparse and there are no mails explaining it further. But obviously
this relates to the interrupt priority levels of the m68k and tries to
be extra clever with nested interrupts. Though this cleverness just
adds code bloat to the interrupt hotpath.
For the common case of non nested interrupts the code runs through two
extra conditionals to the only important one, which checks whether the
return is to kernel or user space.
For the nested case the checks for in_hardirq() and the priority mask
value on stack catch only the case where the nested interrupt happens
inside the hard irq context of the first interrupt. If the nested
interrupt happens while the first interrupt handles soft interrupts,
then these extra checks buy nothing. The nested interrupt will fall
through to the final kernel/user space return check at
ret_from_exception.
Changing the code flow in the following way:
do_IRQ();
irq_enter();
add_preempt_count(HARDIRQ_OFFSET);
handle_interrupt();
irq_exit();
sub_preempt_count(HARDIRQ_OFFSET);
if (in_interrupt())
return;
if (local_softirq_pending())
do_softirq();
ret_from_exception:
if (interrupted_context_is_kernel)
return:
makes the region protected by the hardirq count slightly smaller and
the softirq handling is invoked with a minimal deeper stack. But
otherwise it's completely functional equivalent and saves 104 bytes of
text in arch/m68k/kernel/entry.o.
This modification allows us further to get rid of the limitations
which m68k puts on the preempt_count layout, so we can make the
preempt count bits completely generic.

On a 68k platform a couple of interrupts are demultiplexed and
"polled" from a top level interrupt. Unfortunately there is no way to
determine which of the sub interrupts raised the top level interrupt,
so all of the demultiplexed interrupt handlers need to be
invoked. Given a high enough frequency this can trigger the spurious
interrupt detection mechanism, if one of the demultiplex interrupts
returns IRQ_NONE continuously. But this is a false positive as the
polling causes this behaviour and not buggy hardware/software.
Introduce IRQ_POLLED which can be set at interrupt chip setup time via
irq_set_status_flags(). The flag excludes the interrupt from the
spurious detector and from all core polling activities.

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"As a first remark I'd like to note that the way to build perf tooling
has been simplified and sped up, in the future it should be enough for
you to build perf via:
cd tools/perf/
make install
(ie without the -j option.) The build system will figure out the
number of CPUs and will do a parallel build+install.
The various build system inefficiencies and breakages Linus reported
against the v3.12 pull request should now be resolved - please
(re-)report any remaining annoyances or bugs.

This reverts commit 8eba18428a.
uv_trace() is not used by anything, nor is uv_trace_nmi_func, nor
uv_trace_func.
That's not how we do instrumentation code in the kernel: we add
tracepoints, printk()s, etc. so that everyone not just those with
magic kernel modules can debug a system.
So remove this unused (and misguied) piece of code.

Since the introduction of PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED in:
f27dde8dee ("sched: Add NEED_RESCHED to the preempt_count")
we need to be able to look at both TIF_NEED_RESCHED and
PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED to understand the full preemption behaviour.
Add it to the trace output.

There is a race between stop_two_cpus, and the global stop_cpus.
It is possible for two CPUs to get their stopper functions queued
"backwards" from one another, resulting in the stopper threads
getting stuck, and the system hanging. This can happen because
queuing up stoppers is not synchronized.
This patch adds synchronization between stop_cpus (a rare operation),
and stop_two_cpus.

Randconfig build by Fengguang's robot army reported:
drivers/built-in.o: In function `extlog_print':
>> acpi_extlog.c:(.text+0xcc719): undefined reference to `boot_cpu_physical_apicid'
The config had CONFIG_SMP=n so we picked up this definition from:
<asm/cpu.h>: #define cpu_physical_id(cpu) boot_cpu_physical_apicid
But boot_cpu_physical_apicid is defined in arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.c
which is only built if CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC=y.

Most of this branch consists of updates, additions and general churn of
the device tree source files in the kernel (arch/arm/boot/dts). Besides
that, there are a few things to point out:
- Lots of platform conversion on OMAP2+, with removal of old board files
for various platforms.
- Final conversion of a bunch of ux500 (ST-Ericsson) platforms as well
- Some updates to pinctrl and other subsystems. Most of these are for
DT-enablement of the various platforms and acks have been collected.

1. copy_insn() doesn't look very nice, all calculations are
confusing and it is not immediately clear why do we read
the 2nd page first.
2. The usage of inode->i_size is wrong on 32-bit machines.
3. "Instruction at end of binary" logic is simply wrong, it
doesn't handle the case when uprobe->offset > inode->i_size.
In this case "bytes" overflows, and __copy_insn() writes to
the memory outside of uprobe->arch.insn.
Yes, uprobe_register() checks i_size_read(), but this file
can be truncated after that. All i_size checks are racy, we
do this only to catch the obvious mistakes.
Change copy_insn() to call __copy_insn() in a loop, simplify
and fix the bytes/nbytes calculations.
Note: we do not care if we read extra bytes after inode->i_size
if we got the valid page. This is fine because the task gets the
same page after page-fault, and arch_uprobe_analyze_insn() can't
know how many bytes were actually read anyway.

Commit aa59c53fd4 "uprobes: Change uprobe_copy_process() to dup
xol_area" has a stupid typo, we need to setup t->utask->vaddr but
the code wrongly uses current->utask.
Even with this bug dup_xol_work() works "in practice", but only
because get_unmapped_area(NULL, TASK_SIZE - PAGE_SIZE) likely
returns the same address every time.

When I was able to reproduce it with trinity, I was able to track down
exactly how it happened.
I discovered that the check for whether the function tracepoint should
be activated or not was using the "perf_paranoid_kernel()" check which
by default, lets the user continue. The user should not by default be
able to enable function tracing. The fix is to use
"perf_paranoid_tracepoint_raw()" which will not let the user enable
function tracing.
This is a security fix as normal users should never be allowed to
enable the function tracer.

STI text console (sticon) was broken on 64bit machines with more than
4GB RAM and this lead in some cases to a kernel crash.
Since sticon uses the 32bit STI API it needs to keep pointers to memory
below 4GB. But on a 64bit kernel some memory regions (e.g. the kernel
stack) might be above 4GB which then may crash the kernel in the STI
functions.
Additionally sticon didn't selected the built-in framebuffer fonts by
default. This is now fixed.
On a side-note: Theoretically we could enhance the sticon driver to
use the 64bit STI API. But - beside the fact that some machines don't
provide a 64bit STI ROM - this would just add complexity.

Up to now PA-RISC could live with a trivial version of access_ok().
Our fault handlers can correctly handle fault cases.
But testcases showed that we need a better access check else we won't
always return correct errno failure codes to userspace.
Problem showed up during 32bit userspace tests in which writev() used a
32bit memory area and length which would then wrap around on 64bit
kernel.
