980abe2 UML: Fix ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS build botch The earlier crash dump fix on x86_64 depended on patches in -mm which are intended for post-2.6.23. Without those, it broke the build when it went into 2.6.23-rc5. This changes the field references in ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS back to those still used in mainline.

d958654 i386: fix a hang on stuck nmi watchdog In the case when an nmi gets stucks the endflag stays equal to zero. This causes the busy looping on other cpus to continue, even though the nmi test is done. On my machine with out the change below the system would hang right after check_nmi_watchdog(). The change below just sets endflag prior to checking if the test was successful or not.

23d5ea5 i386: Fix perfctr watchdog on core duo Fix the NMI watchdog on Intel CoreDuo processor where the kernel would get stuck during boot. The issue is related to errata AE49, where the PERFEVTSEL1 counter does not have a working enable bit. Thus it is not possible to use it for NMI. The patch creates a dedicated wd_ops for CoreDuo which falls back to using PERFEVTSEL0. The other Intel processors supporting the architectural PMU will keep on using PERFEVTSEL1 as this allows other subsystems, such as perfmon, to use PERFEVTSEL0 for PEBS monitoring in particular. Bug initially reported by Daniel Walker.

b8da0d1 knfsd: Validate filehandle type in fsid_source fsid_source decided where to get the 'fsid' number to return for a GETATTR based on the type of filehandle. It can be from the device, from the fsid, or from the UUID. It is possible for the filehandle to be inconsistent with the export information, so make sure the export information actually has the info implied by the value returned by fsid_source.

7d94143 Fix spurious syscall tracing after PTRACE_DETACH + PTRACE_ATTACH When PTRACE_SYSCALL was used and then PTRACE_DETACH is used, the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE flag is left set on the formerly-traced task. This means that when a new tracer comes along and does PTRACE_ATTACH, it's possible he gets a syscall tracing stop even though he's never used PTRACE_SYSCALL. This happens if the task was in the middle of a system call when the second PTRACE_ATTACH was done. The symptom is an unexpected SIGTRAP when the tracer thinks that only SIGSTOP should have been provoked by his ptrace calls so far. A few machines already fixed this in ptrace_disable (i386, ia64, m68k). But all other machines do not, and still have this bug. On x86_64, this constitutes a regression in IA32 compatibility support. Since all machines now use TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE for this, I put the clearing of TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE in the generic ptrace_detach code rather than adding it to every other machine's ptrace_disable.

bce7d5e pata_it821x: fix lost interrupt with atapi devices Fix "lost" interrupt problem when using dma with CD/DVD drives in some configurations. This problem can make installing linux from media impossible for distro's that have switched to libata-only configurations. The simple fix is to eliminate the use of dma for reading drive status, etc, by checking the number of bytes to transferred. This change will only affect the behavior of atapi devices, not disks.

d861241 [POWERPC] ibmebus: Prevent bus_id collisions Previously, ibmebus derived a device's bus_id from its location code. The location code is not guaranteed to be unique, so we might get bus_id collisions if two devices share the same location code.

b7f90a4 [POWERPC] cell/PS3: Fix a bug that causes the PS3 to hang on the SPU Class 0 interrupt. The Cell BE Architecture spec states that the SPU MFC Class 0 interrupt is edge-triggered. The current spu interrupt handler assumes this behavior and does not clear the interrupt status. The PS3 hypervisor visualizes all SPU interrupts as level, and on return from the interrupt handler the hypervisor will deliver a new virtual interrupt for any unmasked interrupts which for which the status has not been cleared. This fix clears the interrupt status in the interrupt handler.

939bc49 i2c-algo-bit: Read block data bugfix This fixes a bug in the way i2c-algo-bit handles I2C_M_RECV_LEN, used to implement i2c_smbus_read_block_data(). Previously, in the absence of PEC (rarely used!) it would NAK the "length" byte: S addr Rd [A] [length] NA That prevents the subsequent data bytes from being read: S addr Rd [A] [length] { A [data] }* NA The primary fix just reorders two code blocks, so the length used in the "should I NAK now?" check incorporates the data which it just read from the slave device. However, that move also highlighted other fault handling glitches. This fixes those by abstracting the RX path ack/nak logic, so it can be used in more than one location. Also, a few CodingStyle issues were also resolved. Signed-off-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> 09 September 2007, 20:29:14 UTC

First fix the check if (*imbalance + SCHED_LOAD_SCALE_FUZZ < busiest_load_per_task) with this if (*imbalance < busiest_load_per_task) As the current check is always false for nice 0 tasks (as SCHED_LOAD_SCALE_FUZZ is same as busiest_load_per_task for nice 0 tasks). With the above change, imbalance was getting reset to 0 in the corner case condition, making the FUZZ logic fail. Fix it by not corrupting the imbalance and change the imbalance, only when it finds that the HT/MC optimization is needed.

5995cb7 [XFS] fix nasty quota hashtable allocation bug This git mod: 77e4635ae191774526ed695482a151ac986f3806 converted to a "greedy" allocation interface, but for the quota hashtables it switched from allocating XFS_QM_HASHSIZE (nr of elements) xfs_dqhash_t's to allocating only XFS_QM_HASHSIZE *bytes* - quite a lot smaller! Then when we converted hsize "back" to nr of elements (the division line) hsize went to 0. This was leading to oopses when running any quota tests on the Fedora 8 test kernel, but the problem has been there for almost a year.

ce29a1f [x86 setup] Work around bug in Xen HVM Apparently XEN does not keep the contents of the 48-bit gdt_48 data structure that is passed to lgdt in the XEN machine state. Instead it appears to save the _address_ of the 48-bit descriptor somewhere. Unfortunately this data happens to reside on the stack and is probably no longer availiable at the time of the actual protected mode jump. This is Xen bug but given that there is a one-line patch to work around this problem, the linux kernel should probably do this. My fix is to make the gdt_48 description in setup_gdt static (in setup_idt this is already the case). This allows the kernel to boot under Xen HVM again.

fc0e019 [JFFS2] fix write deadlock regression I've bisected the deadlock when many small appends are done on jffs2 down to this commit: commit 6fe6900e1e5b6fa9e5c59aa5061f244fe3f467e2 Author: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Date: Sun May 6 14:49:04 2007 -0700 mm: make read_cache_page synchronous Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls. I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7 possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in block2mtd. All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return with a !uptodate page. It introduced a wait to read_cache_page, as well as a read_cache_page_async function equivalent to the old read_cache_page without any callers. Switching jffs2_gc_fetch_page to read_cache_page_async for the old behavior makes the deadlocks go away, but maybe reintroduces the use-before-uptodate problem? I don't understand the mm/fs interaction well enough to say.

Later choices may change the dependencies and thus the possible input range. make oldconfig from a 2.6.22 .config with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU not set was in some configurations setting CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y without asking, even when there was no actual requirement for CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU. This was triggered by SUSPEND_SMP that does a select HOTPLUG_CPU.

e89a5a4 NFS: Fix the mount regression This avoids the recent NFS mount regression (returning EBUSY when mounting the same filesystem twice with different parameters). The best I can do given the constraints appears to be to have the kernel first look for a superblock that matches both the fsid and the user-specified mount options, and then spawn off a new superblock if that search fails. Note that this is not the same as specifying nosharecache everywhere since nosharecache will never attempt to match an existing superblock.

36ad488 x86: be even more careful about checking the stack frame on dumping lguest didn't initialize the kernel stack the way a real i386 kernel does, and ended up triggering a corner-case in the stack frame checking that doesn't happen on naive i386, and that the stack dumping didn't handle quite right. This makes the frame handling more correct, and tries to clarify the code at the same time so that it's a bit more obvious what is going on.

3b2b64f Do not use the ia64 clocksource on non-ia64 architectures The HPET clocksource in drivers/char/hpet.c was written as generic code for ia64, but it is not yet ready to replace the native HPET clocksource implementations that the i386/x86-64 architectures use. On x86[-64], trying to register this clocksource results in potentially multiple hpet-based clocksources being registered, and if the ia64 one is chosen on x86_64 some users have experienced hangs. Eventually all three architectures may end up using the same code, but that is not the case right now.
