Symptoms:
PHKL_20245:
( SR: 8606102049 CR: JAGab67439 )
Desc: msem_lock() call occasionally fails w/EINVAL
One customer finds that msem_lock() occasionally fails and
errno is set to EFAULT. If the exactly same msem_lock()
call is executed again, it works.
PHKL_20236:
( SR: 4701409169 DTS: JAGaa12229 )
__lw_get_thread_times reports incorrect times on V-Class
systems. Most of the time it reports correctly but on
occasion it will return an erroneous system time value.
Defect Description:
PHKL_20245:
( SR: 8606102049 CR: JAGab67439 )
Desc: msem_lock() call occasionally fails w/EINVAL
In one customer instance, the protections in the TLB entry
lose 'write' access and so a msem_lock() call to _mcas()
will occasionally fail. This results in errno 14 EINVAL
rather than a re-try. However, an immediate second call
to msem_lock() does not fail.
Resolution:
Two lines of code, added to the lw_mcas_pageok() function,
pre-read the page. A pre-read page fault will trap and
cause a re-try instead of returning a fault.
PHKL_20236:
( SR: 4701409169 DTS: JAGaa12229 )
__lw_get_thread_times sometimes resets the W-bit when
returning to user-space. This causes incorrect calculation
of system time. This does not happen frequently, but if
__lw_get_thread_times() is called repeatedly, sometimes it
will return an incorrect system time.
Resolution:
The __lw_get_thread_times() routine was corrected to not
reset the wide-mode bit in the PSW when returning to the
user.
