b0fac02 Heiko Carstens 11 April 2008, 11:46:54 UTC Fix "$(AS) -traditional" compile breakage caused by asmlinkage_protect git commit 54a015104136974262afa4b8ddd943ea70dec8a2 ("asmlinkage_protect replaces prevent_tail_call") causes this build failure on s390: AS arch/s390/kernel/entry64.o In file included from arch/s390/kernel/entry64.S:14: include/linux/linkage.h:34: error: syntax error in macro parameter list make[1]: *** [arch/s390/kernel/entry64.o] Error 1 make: *** [arch/s390/kernel] Error 2 and some other architectures. The reason is that some architectures add the "-traditional" flag to the invocation of $(AS), which disables variadic macro argument support. So just surround the new define with an #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__ to prevent any side effects on asm code.

544451a Bjorn Helgaas 11 April 2008, 04:29:28 UTC pnp: increase number of devices supported per protocol Increase the PNP "number of devices" limit. We currently use an unsigned char, which limits us to 256 devices per protocol. This patch changes that to an unsigned int. Not all backends can take advantage of this: we limit ISAPNP to 10 devices in isapnp_cfg_begin(), and PNPBIOS is limited to 256 devices because the BIOS interfaces use a one-byte device node number. But there is no limit on the number of PNPACPI devices we may have. Large HP Integrity machines have more than 256, which causes the current "unsigned char number" to wrap around. This causes errors like this: pnp: PnP ACPI init kobject_add failed for 00:00 with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory. Call Trace: [<a000000100010720>] show_stack+0x40/0xa0 [<a0000001000107b0>] dump_stack+0x30/0x60 [<a0000001001dbdf0>] kobject_add+0x290/0x2c0 [<a0000001002bfd40>] device_add+0x160/0x860 [<a0000001002c0470>] device_register+0x30/0x60 [<a00000010026ba70>] __pnp_add_device+0x130/0x180 [<a00000010026bb70>] pnp_add_device+0xb0/0xe0 [<a0000001007f2730>] pnpacpi_add_device+0x510/0x5a0 [<a0000001007f2810>] pnpacpi_add_device_handler+0x50/0x80 This patch increases the limit to fix this PNPACPI problem. It should not have any adverse effect on ISAPNP or PNPBIOS because their limits are still enforced in the backends.

d10d89e Linus Torvalds 11 April 2008, 00:35:23 UTC Add commentary about the new "asmlinkage_protect()" macro It's really a pretty ugly thing to need, and some day it will hopefully be obviated by teaching gcc about the magic calling conventions for the low-level system call code, but in the meantime we can at least add big honking comments about why we need these insane and strange macros. I took my comments from my version of the macro, but I ended up deciding to just pick Roland's version of the actual code instead (with his prettier syntax that uses vararg macros). Thus the previous two commits that actually implement it. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> 11 April 2008, 00:35:23 UTC
598af05 Roland McGrath 10 April 2008, 22:38:45 UTC asmlinkage_protect sys_io_getevents Use asmlinkage_protect in sys_io_getevents, because GCC for i386 with CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=n can decide to clobber an argument word on the stack, i.e. the user struct pt_regs. Here the problem is not a tail call, but just the compiler's use of the stack when it inlines and optimizes the body of the called function. This seems to avoid it.

54a0151 Roland McGrath 10 April 2008, 22:37:38 UTC asmlinkage_protect replaces prevent_tail_call The prevent_tail_call() macro works around the problem of the compiler clobbering argument words on the stack, which for asmlinkage functions is the caller's (user's) struct pt_regs. The tail/sibling-call optimization is not the only way that the compiler can decide to use stack argument words as scratch space, which we have to prevent. Other optimizations can do it too. Until we have new compiler support to make "asmlinkage" binding on the compiler's own use of the stack argument frame, we have work around all the manifestations of this issue that crop up. More cases seem to be prevented by also keeping the incoming argument variables live at the end of the function. This makes their original stack slots attractive places to leave those variables, so the compiler tends not clobber them for something else. It's still no guarantee, but it handles some observed cases that prevent_tail_call() did not.

783e391 Venki Pallipadi 10 April 2008, 16:49:58 UTC x86: Simplify cpu_idle_wait This patch also resolves hangs on boot: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/23/263 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10093 The bug was causing once-in-few-reboots 10-15 sec wait during boot on certain laptops. Earlier commit 40d6a146629b98d8e322b6f9332b182c7cbff3df added smp_call_function in cpu_idle_wait() to kick cpus that are in tickless idle. Looking at cpu_idle_wait code at that time, code seemed to be over-engineered for a case which is rarely used (while changing idle handler). Below is a simplified version of cpu_idle_wait, which just makes a dummy smp_call_function to all cpus, to make them come out of old idle handler and start using the new idle handler. It eliminates code in the idle loop to handle cpu_idle_wait.

We cache static TLB mappings for the current page table in DAMPR4 and DAMPR5 on the theory that the next data lookup is likely to be in the same general region, and thus is likely to be mapped by the same page table. However, we can't get this information if we can't access the appropriate mm_struct. If current->mm is NULL, we just clear the cache in the knowledge that the TLB miss handlers will load it.

951e07c David S. Miller 10 April 2008, 08:29:36 UTC [IPV4]: Fix byte value boundary check in do_ip_getsockopt(). This fixes kernel bugzilla 10371. As reported by M.Piechaczek@osmosys.tv, if we try to grab a char sized socket option value, as in: unsigned char ttl = 255; socklen_t len = sizeof(ttl); setsockopt(socket, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_TTL, &ttl, &len); getsockopt(socket, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_TTL, &ttl, &len); The ttl returned will be wrong on big-endian, and on both little- endian and big-endian the next three bytes in userspace are written with garbage. It's because of this test in do_ip_getsockopt(): if (len < sizeof(int) && len > 0 && val>=0 && val<255) { It should allow a 'val' of 255 to pass here, but it doesn't so it copies a full 'int' back to userspace. On little-endian that will write the correct value into the location but it spams on the next three bytes in userspace. On big endian it writes the wrong value into the location and spams the next three bytes. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> 10 April 2008, 08:29:36 UTC
4faa3c8 Fabio Checconi 10 April 2008, 06:28:01 UTC cfq-iosched: do not leak ioc_data across iosched switches When switching scheduler from cfq, cfq_exit_queue() does not clear ioc->ioc_data, leaving a dangling pointer that can deceive the following lookups when the iosched is switched back to cfq. The pattern that can trigger that is the following: - elevator switch from cfq to something else; - module unloading, with elv_unregister() that calls cfq_free_io_context() on ioc freeing the cic (via the .trim op); - module gets reloaded and the elevator switches back to cfq; - reallocation of a cic at the same address as before (with a valid key). To fix it just assign NULL to ioc_data in __cfq_exit_single_io_context(), that is called from the regular exit path and from the elevator switching code. The only path that frees a cic and is not covered is the error handling one, but cic's freed in this way are never cached in ioc_data.

21f644f David S. Miller 08 April 2008, 23:50:44 UTC [NET]: Undo code bloat in hot paths due to print_mac(). If print_mac() is used inside of a pr_debug() the compiler can't see that the call is redundant so still performs it even of pr_debug() ends up being a nop. So don't use print_mac() in such cases in hot code paths, use MAC_FMT et al. instead. As noted by Joe Perches, pr_debug() could be modified to handle this better, but that is a change to an interface used by the entire kernel and thus needs to be validated carefully. This here is thus the less risky fix for 2.6.25 Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> 08 April 2008, 23:50:44 UTC
6adb4f7 Ilpo Järvinen 08 April 2008, 05:33:57 UTC [TCP]: Don't allow FRTO to take place while MTU is being probed MTU probe can cause some remedies for FRTO because the normal packet ordering may be violated allowing FRTO to make a wrong decision (it might not be that serious threat for anything though). Thus it's safer to not run FRTO while MTU probe is underway. It seems that the basic FRTO variant should also look for an skb at probe_seq.start to check if that's retransmitted one but I didn't implement it now (plain seqno in window check isn't robust against wraparounds).

882beba Ilpo Järvinen 08 April 2008, 05:33:07 UTC [TCP]: tcp_simple_retransmit can cause S+L This fixes Bugzilla #10384 tcp_simple_retransmit does L increment without any checking whatsoever for overflowing S+L when Reno is in use. The simplest scenario I can currently think of is rather complex in practice (there might be some more straightforward cases though). Ie., if mss is reduced during mtu probing, it may end up marking everything lost and if some duplicate ACKs arrived prior to that sacked_out will be non-zero as well, leading to S+L > packets_out, tcp_clean_rtx_queue on the next cumulative ACK or tcp_fastretrans_alert on the next duplicate ACK will fix the S counter. More straightforward (but questionable) solution would be to just call tcp_reset_reno_sack() in tcp_simple_retransmit but it would negatively impact the probe's retransmission, ie., the retransmissions would not occur if some duplicate ACKs had arrived. So I had to add reno sacked_out reseting to CA_Loss state when the first cumulative ACK arrives (this stale sacked_out might actually be the explanation for the reports of left_out overflows in kernel prior to 2.6.23 and S+L overflow reports of 2.6.24). However, this alone won't be enough to fix kernel before 2.6.24 because it is building on top of the commit 1b6d427bb7e ([TCP]: Reduce sacked_out with reno when purging write_queue) to keep the sacked_out from overflowing.

c137f3d Ilpo Järvinen 08 April 2008, 05:32:38 UTC [TCP]: Fix NewReno's fast rexmit/recovery problems with GSOed skb Fixes a long-standing bug which makes NewReno recovery crippled. With GSO the whole head skb was marked as LOST which is in violation of NewReno procedure that only wants to mark one packet and ended up breaking our TCP code by causing counter overflow because our code was built on top of assumption about valid NewReno procedure. This manifested as triggering a WARN_ON for the overflow in a number of places. It seems relatively safe alternative to just do nothing if tcp_fragment fails due to oom because another duplicate ACK is likely to be received soon and the fragmentation will be retried. Special thanks goes to Soeren Sonnenburg <kernel@nn7.de> who was lucky enough to be able to reproduce this so that the warning for the overflow was hit. It's not as easy task as it seems even if this bug happens quite often because the amount of outstanding data is pretty significant for the mismarkings to lead to an overflow. Because it's very late in 2.6.25-rc cycle (if this even makes in time), I didn't want to touch anything with SACK enabled here. Fragmenting might be useful for it as well but it's more or less a policy decision rather than mandatory fix. Thus there's no need to rush and we can postpone considering tcp_fragment with SACK for 2.6.26. In 2.6.24 and earlier, this very same bug existed but the effect is slightly different because of a small changes in the if conditions that fit to the patch's context. With them nothing got lost marker and thus no retransmissions happened. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S.
