6da7342 Joerg Roedel 04 May 2009, 09:44:38 UTC amd-iommu: fix iommu flag masks The feature bits should be set via bitmasks, not via feature IDs. [ Impact: fix feature enabling in newer IOMMU versions ] Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com> LKML-Reference: <20090504102028.GA30307@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> 04 May 2009, 13:05:24 UTC

Manuel Lauss suggested to fix this by adding the relevant sections to the list of sections we do not check.

028eceb Sam Ravnborg 03 May 2009, 20:17:37 UTC kbuild, modpost: fix "unexpected non-allocatable" warning with SUSE gcc Jean reported that he saw one warning for each module like the one below: WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.o (.comment.SUSE.OPTs): unexpected non-allocatable section. The warning appeared with the improved version of the check of the flags in the sections. That check already ignored sections named ".comment" - but SUSE store additional info in the comment section and has named it in a SUSE specific way. Therefore modpost failed to ignore the section. The fix is to extend the pattern so we ignore all sections that start with the name ".comment.".

7d875a0 Anders Kaseorg 03 May 2009, 20:02:55 UTC kbuild, modpost: fix unexpected non-allocatable section when cross compiling The missing TO_NATIVE(sechdrs[i].sh_flags) was causing many unexpected non-allocatable section warnings when cross-compiling for an architecture with a different endianness. Fix endianness of all the fields in the ELF header and section headers, not just some of them so we are not hit by this anohter time.

0b3cc85 Steve French 04 May 2009, 08:37:12 UTC [CIFS] NTLMSSP reenabled after move from connect.c to sess.c The NTLMSSP code was removed from fs/cifs/connect.c and merged (75% smaller, cleaner) into fs/cifs/sess.c As with the old code it requires that cifs be built with CONFIG_CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL, the /proc/fs/cifs/Experimental flag must be set to 2, and mount must turn on extended security (e.g. with sec=krb5). Although NTLMSSP encapsulated in SPNEGO is not enabled yet, "raw" ntlmssp is common and useful in some cases since it offers more complete security negotiation, and is the default way of negotiating security for many Windows systems. SPNEGO encapsulated NTLMSSP will be able to reuse the same code. Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com> 04 May 2009, 08:37:12 UTC

9fffb55 David Gibson 30 April 2009, 05:25:53 UTC Move dtc and libfdt sources from arch/powerpc/boot to scripts/dtc The powerpc kernel always requires an Open Firmware like device tree to supply device information. On systems without OF, this comes from a flattened device tree blob. This blob is usually generated by dtc, a tool which compiles a text description of the device tree into the flattened format used by the kernel. Sometimes, the bootwrapper makes small changes to the pre-compiled device tree blob (e.g. filling in the size of RAM). To do this it uses the libfdt library. Because these are only used on powerpc, the code for both these tools is included under arch/powerpc/boot (these were imported and are periodically updated from the upstream dtc tree). However, the microblaze architecture, currently being prepared for merging to mainline also uses dtc to produce device tree blobs. A few other archs have also mentioned some interest in using dtc. Therefore, this patch moves dtc and libfdt from arch/powerpc into scripts, where it can be used by any architecture. The vast bulk of this patch is a literal move, the rest is adjusting the various Makefiles to use dtc and libfdt correctly from their new locations.

74641f5 Ivan Kokshaysky 30 April 2009, 22:08:49 UTC alpha: binfmt_aout fix This fixes the problem introduced by commit 3bfacef412 (get rid of special-casing the /sbin/loader on alpha): osf/1 ecoff binary segfaults when binfmt_aout built as module. That happens because aout binary handler gets on the top of the binfmt list due to late registration, and kernel attempts to execute the binary without preparatory work that must be done by binfmt_loader. Fixed by changing the registration order of the default binfmt handlers using list_add_tail() and introducing insert_binfmt() function which places new handler on the top of the binfmt list. This might be generally useful for installing arch-specific frontends for default handlers or just for overriding them.

For him everything above unicode 0xa0 was corrupted. After some digging there seems to be a little culprit in vgacon since the beginning of ages (well git). The function vgacon_font_get will store the number of characters correctly in font->charcount but then calls to vgacon_do_font_op(..., 0, 0). Which means only the lower 256 characters are actually stored to the fontdata. The rest is left untouched. So the next time that saved data is used, the garbled font appears. This happens on every switch between text consoles.

ae3abae Daisuke Nishimura 30 April 2009, 22:08:19 UTC memcg: fix mem_cgroup_shrink_usage() Current mem_cgroup_shrink_usage() has two problems. 1. It doesn't call mem_cgroup_out_of_memory and doesn't update last_oom_jiffies, so pagefault_out_of_memory invokes global OOM. 2. Considering hierarchy, shrinking has to be done from the mem_over_limit, not from the memcg which the page would be charged to. mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin() does all of these things properly, so we use it and call cancel_charge_swapin when it succeeded. The name of "shrink_usage" is not appropriate for this behavior, so we change it too.

b827e49 Nick Piggin 30 April 2009, 22:08:16 UTC mm: close page_mkwrite races Change page_mkwrite to allow implementations to return with the page locked, and also change it's callers (in page fault paths) to hold the lock until the page is marked dirty. This allows the filesystem to have full control of page dirtying events coming from the VM. Rather than simply hold the page locked over the page_mkwrite call, we call page_mkwrite with the page unlocked and allow callers to return with it locked, so filesystems can avoid LOR conditions with page lock. The problem with the current scheme is this: a filesystem that wants to associate some metadata with a page as long as the page is dirty, will perform this manipulation in its ->page_mkwrite. It currently then must return with the page unlocked and may not hold any other locks (according to existing page_mkwrite convention). In this window, the VM could write out the page, clearing page-dirty. The filesystem has no good way to detect that a dirty pte is about to be attached, so it will happily write out the page, at which point, the filesystem may manipulate the metadata to reflect that the page is no longer dirty. It is not always possible to perform the required metadata manipulation in ->set_page_dirty, because that function cannot block or fail. The filesystem may need to allocate some data structure, for example. And the VM cannot mark the pte dirty before page_mkwrite, because page_mkwrite is allowed to fail, so we must not allow any window where the page could be written to if page_mkwrite does fail. This solution of holding the page locked over the 3 critical operations (page_mkwrite, setting the pte dirty, and finally setting the page dirty) closes out races nicely, preventing page cleaning for writeout being initiated in that window. This provides the filesystem with a strong synchronisation against the VM here. - Sage needs this race closed for ceph filesystem. - Trond for NFS (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12913). - I need it for fsblock. - I suspect other filesystems may need it too (eg. btrfs). - I have converted buffer.c to the new locking. Even simple block allocation under dirty pages might be susceptible to i_size changing under partial page at the end of file (we also have a buffer.c-side problem here, but it cannot be fixed properly without this patch). - Other filesystems (eg. NFS, maybe btrfs) will need to change their page_mkwrite functions themselves. [ This also moves page_mkwrite another step closer to fault, which should eventually allow page_mkwrite to be moved into ->fault, and thus avoiding a filesystem calldown and page lock/unlock cycle in __do_fault. ] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix derefs of NULL ->mapping] Cc: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net> Cc: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no> Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: Valdis Kletnieks <Valdis.Kletnieks@vt.edu> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> 02 May 2009, 22:36:09 UTC

74a03b6 john stultz 01 May 2009, 20:10:25 UTC clockevents: prevent endless loop in tick_handle_periodic() tick_handle_periodic() can lock up hard when a one shot clock event device is used in combination with jiffies clocksource. Avoid an endless loop issue by requiring that a highres valid clocksource be installed before we call tick_periodic() in a loop when using ONESHOT mode. The result is we will only increment jiffies once per interrupt until a continuous hardware clocksource is available. Without this, we can run into a endless loop, where each cycle through the loop, jiffies is updated which increments time by tick_period or more (due to clock steering), which can cause the event programming to think the next event was before the newly incremented time and fail causing tick_periodic() to be called again and the whole process loops forever.

But this heuristic has two problems: it will miss a bad section that has no relocations, and it will incorrectly flag many gcc-generated sections as bad when compiling with -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections. On mips it fixes a lot of bogus warnings with gcc 4.4.0 lije this one: WARNING: crypto/cryptd.o (.text.T.349): unexpected section name. So instead of checking whether the section name matches a particular pattern, we directly check for a missing SHF_ALLOC in the section flags.

99e3a1e Cedric Hombourger 25 April 2009, 07:38:21 UTC kbuild: fix Module.markers permission error under cygwin While building the kernel, we end-up calling modpost with -K and -M options for the same file (Modules.markers). This is resulting in modpost's main function calling read_markers() and then write_markers() on the same file. We then have read_markers() mmap'ing the file, and writer_markers() opening that same file for writing. The issue is that read_markers() exits without munmap'ing the file and is as a matter holding a reference on Modules.markers. When write_markers() is opening that very same file for writing, we still have a reference on it and cygwin (Windows?) is then making fopen() fail with EPERM. Calling release_file() before exiting read_markers() clears that reference (and memory leak) and fopen() then succeeds. Tested on both cygwin (1.3.22) and Linux. Also ran modpost within valgrind on Linux to make sure that the munmap'ed file was not accessed after read_markers() Signed-off-by: Cedric Hombourger <chombourger@gmail.com> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> 01 May 2009, 08:54:03 UTC
