readahead: fix pipeline break caused by block plug

commit 3deaa7190a8da38453c4fabd9dec7f66d17fff67 upstream.

Herbert Poetzl reported a performance regression since 2.6.39.  The test
is a simple dd read, but with big block size.  The reason is:

T1: ra (A, A+128k), (A+128k, A+256k)
T2: lock_page for page A, submit the 256k
T3: hit page A+128K, ra (A+256k, A+384). the range isn't submitted
because of plug and there isn't any lock_page till we hit page A+256k
because all pages from A to A+256k is in memory
T4: hit page A+256k, ra (A+384, A+ 512). Because of plug, the range isn't
submitted again.
T5: lock_page A+256k, so (A+256k, A+512k) will be submitted. The task is
waitting for (A+256k, A+512k) finish.

There is no request to disk in T3 and T4, so readahead pipeline breaks.

We really don't need block plug for generic_file_aio_read() for buffered
I/O.  The readahead already has plug and has fine grained control when I/O
should be submitted.  Deleting plug for buffered I/O fixes the regression.

One side effect is plug makes the request size 256k, the size is 128k
without it.  This is because default ra size is 128k and not a reason we
need plug here.

Vivek said:

: We submit some readahead IO to device request queue but because of nested
: plug, queue never gets unplugged.  When read logic reaches a page which is
: not in page cache, it waits for page to be read from the disk
: (lock_page_killable()) and that time we flush the plug list.

: buffered reads, will allow unplugging queue earlier for readahead.

ALSA: HDA: Fix duplicated output to more than one codec

commit 54c2a89f60fd71b924d0f848ac892442951401a6 upstream.

This typo caused the wrong codec's nid to be checked for wcaps type.
As a result, sometimes speakers would duplicate the output sent to
HDMI output.

ARM: 7306/1: vfp: flush thread hwstate before restoring context from sigframe

commit 2af276dfb1722e97b190bd2e646b079a2aa674db upstream.

Following execution of a signal handler, we currently restore the VFP
context from the ucontext in the signal frame. This involves copying
from the user stack into the current thread's vfp_hard_struct and then
flushing the new data out to the hardware registers.

This is problematic when using a preemptible kernel because we could be
context switched whilst updating the vfp_hard_struct. If the current
thread has made use of VFP since the last context switch, the VFP
notifier will copy from the hardware registers into the vfp_hard_struct,
overwriting any data that had been partially copied by the signal code.

Disabling preemption across copy_from_user calls is a terrible idea, so
instead we move the VFP thread flush *before* we update the
vfp_hard_struct. Since the flushing is performed lazily, this has the
effect of disabling VFP and clearing the CPU's VFP state pointer,
therefore preventing the thread from being updated with stale data on
the next context switch.

ARM: 7307/1: vfp: fix ptrace regset modification race

commit 247f4993a5974e6759606c4d380748eecfd273ff upstream.

In a preemptible kernel, vfp_set() can be preempted, causing the
hardware VFP context to be switched while the thread vfp state is
being read and modified.  This leads to a race condition which can
cause the thread vfp state to become corrupted if lazy VFP context
save occurs due to preemption in between the time thread->vfpstate
is read and the time the modified state is written back.

This may occur if preemption occurs during the execution of a
ptrace() call which modifies the VFP register state of a thread.
Such instances should be very rare in most realistic scenarios --
none has been reported, so far as I am aware.  Only uniprocessor
systems should be affected, since VFP context save is not currently
lazy in SMP kernels.

The problem was introduced by my earlier patch migrating to use
regsets to implement ptrace.

This patch does a vfp_sync_hwstate() before reading
thread->vfpstate, to make sure that the thread's VFP state is not
live in the hardware registers while the registers are modified.

Thanks to Will Deacon for spotting this.

ARM: 7308/1: vfp: flush thread hwstate before copying ptrace registers

commit 8130b9d7b9d858aa04ce67805e8951e3cb6e9b2f upstream.

If we are context switched whilst copying into a thread's
vfp_hard_struct then the partial copy may be corrupted by the VFP
context switching code (see "ARM: vfp: flush thread hwstate before
restoring context from sigframe").

This patch updates the ptrace VFP set code so that the thread state is
flushed before the copy, therefore disabling VFP and preventing
corruption from occurring.

ARM: OMAP2+: GPMC: fix device size setup

commit 8ef5d844cc3a644ea6f7665932a4307e9fad01fa upstream.

following statement can only change device size from 8-bit(0) to 16-bit(1),
but not vice versa:

regval |= GPMC_CONFIG1_DEVICESIZE(wval);

so as this field has 1 reserved bit, that could be used in future,
just clear both bits and then OR with the desired value

drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c: fix KDFONTOP 32bit compatibility layer

commit cbcb8346054073d000ecac324763372d6abd44ac upstream.

KDFONTOP(GET) currently fails with EIO when being run in a 32bit userland
with a 64bit kernel if the font width is not 8.

This is because of the setting of the KD_FONT_FLAG_OLD flag, which makes
con_font_get return EIO in such case.

This flag should *not* be set for KDFONTOP, since it's actually the whole
point of this flag (see comment in con_font_set for instance).
