Hi Linus !
Here are some more powerpc bits for 3.17, essentially fixes.
The biggest series, also aimed at -stable, is from Aneesh and is the result
of weeks and weeks of debugging to find out why the heck or THP implementation
was occasionally triggering multi-hit errors in our level 1 TLB. It ended up
being a combination of issues including subtleties as to how we should
invalidate those special 'MPSS' pages we use to allow the use of 16M pages
inside 4K/64K "base page size" segments (you really have to love our MMU !)
Another interesting one in the "OMG" category is the series from Michael
adding memory barriers to spin_is_locked(). That's also the result of many
days of debugging to figure out why the semaphore code would occasionally
crash in ways that made no sense. It ended up being some creative lock
stacking that was defeated by the fact that our locks allow a load inside
the locked section to be re-ordered with the load of the lock value itself
(I'm still of two mind about whether to kill that once and for all by putting
a heavier barrier back into our lock implementation...). The fixes come with
a long explanation in the cset comments, feel free to read it if you feel
like having a headache today.
Cheers,
Ben.
