ab875cf Ivan Kokshaysky 09 March 2008, 13:31:17 UTC alpha: fix iommu-related boot panic This fixes a boot panic due to a typo in the recent iommu patchset from FUJITA Tomonori <tomof@acm.org> - the code used dma_get_max_seg_size() instead of dma_get_seg_boundary(). It also removes a couple of unnecessary BUG_ON() and ALIGN() macros.

393d94d Gregory Haskins 08 March 2008, 05:10:15 UTC cpu hotplug: adjust root-domain->online span in response to hotplug event We currently set the root-domain online span automatically when the domain is added to the cpu if the cpu is already a member of cpu_online_map. This was done as a hack/bug-fix for s2ram, but it also causes a problem with hotplug CPU_DOWN transitioning. The right way to fix the original problem is to actually respond to CPU_UP events, instead of CPU_ONLINE, which is already too late. This solves the hung reboot regression reported by Andrew Morton and others.

10a398d Roman Zippel 04 March 2008, 23:14:26 UTC time: remove obsolete CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST The first version of the ntp_interval/tick_length inconsistent usage patch was recently merged as bbe4d18ac2e058c56adb0cd71f49d9ed3216a405 http://git.kernel.org/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=bbe4d18ac2e058c56adb0cd71f49d9ed3216a405 While the fix did greatly improve the situation, it was correctly pointed out by Roman that it does have a small bug: If the users change clocksources after the system has been running and NTP has made corrections, the correctoins made against the old clocksource will be applied against the new clocksource, causing error. The second attempt, which corrects the issue in the NTP_INTERVAL_LENGTH definition has also made it up-stream as commit e13a2e61dd5152f5499d2003470acf9c838eab84 http://git.kernel.org/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=e13a2e61dd5152f5499d2003470acf9c838eab84 Roman has correctly pointed out that CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST is calculated based on the PIT's frequency, and isn't really relevant to non-PIT driven clocksources (that is, clocksources other then jiffies and pit). This patch reverts both of those changes, and simply removes CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST. This does remove the granularity error correction for users of PIT and Jiffies clocksource users, but the granularity error but for the majority of users, it should be within the 500ppm range NTP can accommodate for. For systems that have granularity errors greater then 500ppm, the "ntp_tick_adj=" boot option can be used to compensate.

84c6f60 Roland McGrath 07 March 2008, 22:56:02 UTC x86_64: make ptrace always sign-extend orig_ax to 64 bits This makes 64-bit ptrace calls setting the 64-bit orig_ax field for a 32-bit task sign-extend the low 32 bits up to 64. This matches what a 64-bit debugger expects when tracing a 32-bit task. This follows on my "x86_64 ia32 syscall restart fix". This didn't matter until that was fixed. The debugger ignores or zeros the high half of every register slot it sets (including the orig_rax pseudo-register) uniformly. It expects that the setting of the low 32 bits always has the same meaning as a 32-bit debugger setting those same 32 bits with native 32-bit facilities. This never arose before because the syscall restart check never matched any -ERESTART* values due to lack of sign extension. Before that fix, even 32-bit ptrace setting orig_eax to -1 failed to trigger the restart check anyway. So this was never noticed as a regression of 64-bit debuggers vs 32-bit debuggers on the same 64-bit kernel.

5d49c10 Tilman Schmidt 07 March 2008, 18:47:08 UTC gigaset: fix Oops on module unload regression The card state mutex was only initialized when a device was connected, but used during unload unconditionally, leading to an Oops if a driver was loaded and unloaded again without ever connecting a device.

6fa46fa Steven Rostedt 05 March 2008, 15:00:12 UTC sched: balance RT task resched only on runqueue Sripathi Kodi reported a crash in the -rt kernel: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=435674 this is due to a place that can reschedule a task without holding the tasks runqueue lock. This was caused by the RT balancing code that pulls RT tasks to the current run queue and will reschedule the current task. There's a slight chance that the pulling of the RT tasks will release the current runqueue's lock and retake it (in the double_lock_balance). During this time that the runqueue is released, the current task can migrate to another runqueue. In the prio_changed_rt code, after the pull, if the current task is of lesser priority than one of the RT tasks pulled, resched_task is called on the current task. If the current task had migrated in that small window, resched_task will be called without holding the runqueue lock for the runqueue that the task is on. This race condition also exists in the mainline kernel and this patch adds a check to make sure the task hasn't migrated before calling resched_task.

1722770 Peter Korsgaard 06 March 2008, 09:56:45 UTC x86-boot: don't request VBE2 information The new x86 setup code (4fd06960f120) broke booting on an old P3/500MHz with an onboard Voodoo3 of mine. After debugging it, it turned out to be caused by the fact that the vesa probing now asks for VBE2 data. Disassembing the video BIOS shows that it overflows the vesa_general_info structure when VBE2 data is requested because the source addresses for the information strings which get strcpy'ed to the buffer lie outside the 32K BIOS code (and hence contain long sequences of 0xff's).

6d2144d Joe Korty 05 March 2008, 23:04:59 UTC slab: NUMA slab allocator migration bugfix NUMA slab allocator cpu migration bugfix The NUMA slab allocator (specifically, cache_alloc_refill) is not refreshing its local copies of what cpu and what numa node it is on, when it drops and reacquires the irq block that it inherited from its caller. As a result those values become invalid if an attempt to migrate the process to another numa node occured while the irq block had been dropped. The solution is to make cache_alloc_refill reload these variables whenever it drops and reacquires the irq block. The error is very difficult to hit. When it does occur, one gets the following oops + stack traceback bits in check_spinlock_acquired: kernel BUG at mm/slab.c:2417 cache_alloc_refill+0xe6 kmem_cache_alloc+0xd0 ...

Use the same algorithm as SLAB for this. The effect of this patch for a system with a cacheline size of 64 bytes is that the 24 byte sized slab caches will now put exactly 2 objects into a cacheline instead of 3 with some overlap into the next cacheline. This reduces the object density in a 4k slab from 170 to 128 objects (same as SLAB).

This patch enhances the display code in a few ways: 1. Use TB, GB and MB as well as KB as units. Although this introduces rounding errors (KB doesn't as size is always a multiple of 4Kb), it does make things a lot more readable. Also as the range is also shown, it is possible to note the exact size if it is important. In my experience, the size field is mostly useful for getting a general idea of the size of a region. On the rx2620 that I use, there actually is an 8TB region (though not backed by physical memory, and 8TB really is a lot more readable than 8589934592KB. 2. pad the size field with leading spaces to further improve readability ... ...

fcb1fec Paul Mundt 06 March 2008, 04:39:18 UTC fb: pvr2fb: Fix up remaining section mismatch. Building with CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y reports: CC drivers/video/pvr2fb.o LD drivers/video/built-in.o WARNING: drivers/video/built-in.o(.text+0xb9b0): Section mismatch in reference from the function pvr2fb_check_var() to the variable .devinit.data:pvr2_fix The function pvr2fb_check_var() references the variable __devinitdata pvr2_fix. This is often because pvr2fb_check_var lacks a __devinitdata annotation or the annotation of pvr2_fix is wrong. This is obviously crap as no such reference exists, but it's a bit closer to reality from older versions which blamed the PCI table. The real problem was a reference to pvr2_var.vmode from pvr2fb_check_var(), as pvr2_var is flagged as __devinitdata (pvr2_fix is also, so at least that part is right). pvr2_var.vmode is just a fancy way of saying FB_VMODE_NONINTERLACED, so we just reference that explicitly instead.

f9c3a38 Eric Paris 05 March 2008, 19:20:18 UTC NFS: use new LSM interfaces to explicitly set mount options NFS and SELinux worked together previously because SELinux had NFS specific knowledge built in. This design was approved by both groups back in 2004 but the recent NFS changes to use nfs_parsed_mount_data and the usage of nfs_clone_mount_data showed this to be a poor fragile solution. This patch fixes the NFS functionality regression by making use of the new LSM interfaces to allow an FS to explicitly set its own mount options. The explicit setting of mount options is done in the nfs get_sb functions which are called before the generic vfs hooks try to set mount options for filesystems which use text mount data. This does not currently support NFSv4 as that functionality did not exist in previous kernels and thus there is no regression. I will be adding the needed code, which I believe to be the exact same as the v3 code, in nfs4_get_sb for 2.6.26.

e000752 Eric Paris 05 March 2008, 15:31:54 UTC LSM/SELinux: Interfaces to allow FS to control mount options Introduce new LSM interfaces to allow an FS to deal with their own mount options. This includes a new string parsing function exported from the LSM that an FS can use to get a security data blob and a new security data blob. This is particularly useful for an FS which uses binary mount data, like NFS, which does not pass strings into the vfs to be handled by the loaded LSM. Also fix a BUG() in both SELinux and SMACK when dealing with binary mount data. If the binary mount data is less than one page the copy_page() in security_sb_copy_data() can cause an illegal page fault and boom. Remove all NFSisms from the SELinux code since they were broken by past NFS changes.
