1f6ef23 [watchdog] hpwdt: fix use of inline assembly The inline assembly in drivers/watchdog/hpwdt.c was incredibly broken, and included all the function prologue and epilogue stuff, even though it was itself then inside a C function where the compiler would add its own prologue and epilogue on top of it all. This then just _happened_ to work if you had exactly the right compiler version and exactly the right compiler flags, so that gcc just happened to not create any prologue at all (the gcc-generated epilogue wouldn't matter, since it would never be reached). But the more proper way to fix it is to simply not do this. Move the inline asm to the top level, with no surrounding function at all (the better alternative would be to remove the prologue and make it actually use proper description of the arguments to the inline asm, but that's a bigger change than the one I'm willing to make right now).

89f5b7d Reinstate ZERO_PAGE optimization in 'get_user_pages()' and fix XIP KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki and Oleg Nesterov point out that since the commit 557ed1fa2620dc119adb86b34c614e152a629a80 ("remove ZERO_PAGE") removed the ZERO_PAGE from the VM mappings, any users of get_user_pages() will generally now populate the VM with real empty pages needlessly. We used to get the ZERO_PAGE when we did the "handle_mm_fault()", but since fault handling no longer uses ZERO_PAGE for new anonymous pages, we now need to handle that special case in follow_page() instead. In particular, the removal of ZERO_PAGE effectively removed the core file writing optimization where we would skip writing pages that had not been populated at all, and increased memory pressure a lot by allocating all those useless newly zeroed pages. This reinstates the optimization by making the unmapped PTE case the same as for a non-existent page table, which already did this correctly. While at it, this also fixes the XIP case for follow_page(), where the caller could not differentiate between the case of a page that simply could not be used (because it had no "struct page" associated with it) and a page that just wasn't mapped. We do that by simply returning an error pointer for pages that could not be turned into a "struct page *". The error is arbitrarily picked to be EFAULT, since that was what get_user_pages() already used for the equivalent IO-mapped page case. [ Also removed an impossible test for pte_offset_map_lock() failing: that's not how that function works ] Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Acked-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> 20 June 2008, 18:18:25 UTC

d4abc23 sched, delay accounting: fix incorrect delay time when constantly waiting on runqueue This patch corrects the incorrect value of per process run-queue wait time reported by delay statistics. The anomaly was due to the following reason. When a process leaves the CPU and immediately starts waiting for CPU on the runqueue (which means it remains in the TASK_RUNNABLE state), the time of re-entry into the run-queue is never recorded. Due to this, the waiting time on the runqueue from this point of re-entry upto the next time it hits the CPU is not accounted for. This is solved by recording the time of re-entry of a process leaving the CPU in the sched_info_depart() function IF the process will go back to waiting on the run-queue. This IF condition is verified by checking whether the process is still in the TASK_RUNNABLE state. The patch was tested on 2.6.26-rc6 using two simple CPU hog programs. The values noted prior to the fix did not account for the time spent on the runqueue waiting. After the fix, the correct values were reported back to user space.

df17b1d x86, 32-bit: fix boot failure on TSC-less processors Booting 2.6.26-rc6 on my 486 DX/4 fails with a "BUG: Int 6" (invalid opcode) and a kernel halt immediately after the kernel has been uncompressed. The BUG shows EIP pointing to an rdtsc instruction in native_read_tsc(), invoked from native_sched_clock(). (This error occurs so early that not even the serial console can capture it.) A bisection showed that this bug first occurs in 2.6.26-rc3-git7, via commit 9ccc906c97e34fd91dc6aaf5b69b52d824386910: >x86: distangle user disabled TSC from unstable > >tsc_enabled is set to 0 from the command line switch "notsc" and from >the mark_tsc_unstable code. Seperate those functionalities and replace >tsc_enable with tsc_disable. This makes also the native_sched_clock() >decision when to use TSC understandable. > >Preparatory patch to solve the sched_clock() issue on 32 bit. > >Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> The core reason for this bug is that native_sched_clock() gets called before tsc_init(). Before the commit above, tsc_32.c used a "tsc_enabled" variable which defaulted to 0 == disabled, and which only got enabled late in tsc_init(). Thus early calls to native_sched_clock() would skip the TSC and use jiffies instead. After the commit above, tsc_32.c uses a "tsc_disabled" variable which defaults to 0, meaning that the TSC is Ok to use. Early calls to native_sched_clock() now erroneously try to use the TSC on !cpu_has_tsc processors, leading to invalid opcode exceptions. My proposed fix is to initialise tsc_disabled to a "soft disabled" state distinct from the hard disabled state set up by the "notsc" kernel option. This fixes the native_sched_clock() problem. It also allows tsc_init() to be simplified: instead of setting tsc_disabled = 1 on every error return, we just set tsc_disabled = 0 once when all checks have succeeded. I've verified that this lets my 486 boot again. I've also verified that a Core2 machine still uses the TSC as clocksource after the patch.

Somehow (as described below) TS_USEDFPU is set but the fpu is not allocated or freed. Another possible FPU pre-emption issue with the sleazy FPU optimization which was benign before but not so anymore, with the dynamic FPU allocation patch. New task is getting exec'd and it is prempted at the below point. flush_thread() { ... /* * Forget coprocessor state.. */ clear_fpu(tsk); <----- Preemption point clear_used_math(); ... } Now when it context switches in again, as the used_math() is still set and fpu_counter can be > 5, we will do a math_state_restore() which sets the task's TS_USEDFPU. After it continues from the above preemption point it does clear_used_math() and much later free_thread_xstate(). Now, at the next context switch, it is quite possible that xstate is null, used_math() is not set and TS_USEDFPU is still set. This will trigger unlazy_fpu() causing kernel oops. Fix this by clearing tsk's fpu_counter before clearing task's fpu.

ad524d4 x86: set PAE PHYSICAL_MASK_SHIFT to 44 bits. When a 64-bit x86 processor runs in 32-bit PAE mode, a pte can potentially have the same number of physical address bits as the 64-bit host ("Enhanced Legacy PAE Paging"). This means, in theory, we could have up to 52 bits of physical address in a pte. The 32-bit kernel uses a 32-bit unsigned long to represent a pfn. This means that it can only represent physical addresses up to 32+12=44 bits wide. Rather than widening pfns everywhere, just set 2^44 as the Linux x86_32-PAE architectural limit for physical address size. This is a bugfix for two cases: 1. running a 32-bit PAE kernel on a machine with more than 64GB RAM. 2. running a 32-bit PAE Xen guest on a host machine with more than 64GB RAM In both cases, a pte could need to have more than 36 bits of physical, and masking it to 36-bits will cause fairly severe havoc.

9c106c1 softlockup: fix NMI hangs due to lock race - 2.6.26-rc regression The touch_nmi_watchdog() routine on x86 ultimately calls touch_softlockup_watchdog(). The problem is that to touch the softlockup watchdog, the cpu_clock code has to be called which could involve multiple cpu locks and can lead to a hard hang if one of the locks is held by a processor that is not going to return anytime soon (such as could be the case with kgdb or perhaps even with some other kind of exception). This patch causes the public version of the touch_softlockup_watchdog() to defer the cpu clock access to a later point. The test case for this problem is to use the following kernel config options: CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS=y CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS_ON_BOOT=y CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS_BOOT_STRING="V1F100I100000" It should be noted that kgdb test suite and these options were not available until 2.6.26-rc2, so it was necessary to patch the kgdb test suite during the bisection. I would consider this patch a regression fix because the problem first appeared in commit 27ec4407790d075c325e1f4da0a19c56953cce23 when some logic was added to try to periodically sync the clocks. It was possible to work around this particular problem by simply not performing the sync anytime the system was in a critical context. This was ok until commit 3e51f33fcc7f55e6df25d15b55ed10c8b4da84cd, which added config option CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK and some multi-cpu locks to sync the clocks. It became clear that accessing this code from an nmi was the source of the lockups. Avoiding the access to the low level clock code from an code inside the NMI processing also fixed the problem with the 27ec44... commit.

f18f982 sched: CPU hotplug events must not destroy scheduler domains created by the cpusets First issue is not related to the cpusets. We're simply leaking doms_cur. It's allocated in arch_init_sched_domains() which is called for every hotplug event. So we just keep reallocation doms_cur without freeing it. I introduced free_sched_domains() function that cleans things up. Second issue is that sched domains created by the cpusets are completely destroyed by the CPU hotplug events. For all CPU hotplug events scheduler attaches all CPUs to the NULL domain and then puts them all into the single domain thereby destroying domains created by the cpusets (partition_sched_domains). The solution is simple, when cpusets are enabled scheduler should not create default domain and instead let cpusets do that. Which is exactly what the patch does.

ad2a3f1 sched: rt-group: heirarchy aware throttle The bandwidth throttle code dequeues a group when it runs out of quota, and re-queues it once the period rolls over and the quota gets refreshed. Sadly it failed to take the hierarchy into consideration. Share more of the enqueue/dequeue code with regular task opterations. Also, some operations like sched_setscheduler() can dequeue/enqueue tasks that are in throttled runqueues, we should not inadvertly re-enqueue empty runqueues so check for that.

c6112bd sata_mv: warn on PIO with multiple DRQs Chip errata sometimes prevents reliable use of PIO commands which involve more than a single DRQ (data request). In normal operation, libata should not generate such PIO commands (uses DMA instead), but they could be sent in via SG_IO from userspace. A full workaround might be to break up such commands into sequences of single DRQ ones, but that's just way too complex for something that doesn't normally happen in real life. So, allow the attempt (it often works, despite the errata), but log the event for reference when somebody screams.

da503fa agp: two-stage page destruction issue besides it apparently being useful only in 2.6.24 (the changes in 2.6.25 really mean that it could be converted back to a single-stage mechanism), I'm seeing an issue in Xen Dom0 kernels, which is caused by the calling of gart_to_virt() in the second stage invocations of the destroy function. I think that besides this being a real issue with Xen (where unmap_page_from_agp() is not just a page table attribute change), this also is invalid from a theoretical perspective: One should not assume that gart_to_virt() is still valid after unmapping a page. So minimally (keeping the 2-stage mechanism) a patch like the one below would be needed. Jan Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com> 18 June 2008, 23:56:16 UTC

ae1e535 firewire: deadline for PHY config transmission If the low-level driver failed to initialize a card properly without noticing it, fw-core was blocked indefinitely when trying to send a PHY config packet. This hung up the events kernel thread, e.g. locked up keyboard input. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444694 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=446763 This problem was introduced between 2.6.25 and 2.6.26-rc1 by commit 2a0a2590498be7b92e3e76409c9b8ee722e23c8f "firewire: wait until PHY configuration packet was transmitted (fix bus reset loop)". The solution is to wait with timeout. I tested it with 7 different working controllers and 1 non-working controller. On the working ones, the packet callback complete()s usually --- but not always --- before a timeout of 10ms. Hence I chose a safer timeout of 100ms. On the few tests with the non-working controller ALi M5271, PHY config packet transmission always timed out so far. (Fw-ohci needs to be fixed for this controller independently of this deadline fix. Often the core doesn't even attempt to send a phy config because not even self ID reception works.) Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de> 18 June 2008, 22:12:35 UTC

5cb8406 firewire: fill_bus_reset_event needs lock protection Callers of fill_bus_reset_event() have to take card->lock. Otherwise access to node data may oops if node removal is in progress. A lockless alternative would be - event->local_node_id = card->local_node->node_id; + tmp = fw_node_get(card->local_node); + event->local_node_id = tmp->node_id; + fw_node_put(tmp); and ditto with the other node pointers which fill_bus_reset_event() accesses. But I went the locked route because one of the two callers already holds the lock. As a bonus, we don't need the memory barrier anymore because device->generation and device->node_id are written in a card->lock protected section.

65ba6cd [POWERPC] Clear sub-page HPTE present bits when demoting page size When we demote a slice from 64k to 4k, and we are about to insert an HPTE for a 4k subpage and we notice that there is an existing 64k HPTE, we first invalidate that HPTE before inserting the new 4k subpage HPTE. Since the bits that encode which hash bucket the old HPTE was in overlap with the bits that encode which of the 16 subpages have HPTEs, we need to clear out the subpage HPTE-present bits before starting to insert HPTEs for the 4k subpages. If we don't do that, we can erroneously think that a subpage already has an HPTE when it doesn't. That in itself wouldn't be such a problem except that when we go to update the HPTE that we think is present on machines with a hypervisor, the hypervisor can tell us that the HPTE we think is there is actually there even though it isn't, which can lead to a process getting stuck in a loop, continually faulting. The reason for the confusion is that the AVPN (abbreviated virtual page number) we are looking for in the HPTE for a 4k subpage can actually match the AVPN in a stale HPTE for another 64k page. For example, the HPTE for the 4k subpage at 0x84000f000 will be in the same hash bucket and have the same AVPN as the HPTE for the 64k page at 0x8400f0000. This fixes the code to clear out the subpage HPTE-present bits. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> 18 June 2008, 11:40:43 UTC
b17879f [POWERPC] 4xx: Clear new TLB cache attribute bits in Data Storage vector A recent commit added support for the new 440x6 and 464 cores that have the added WL1, IL1I, IL1D, IL2I, and ILD2 bits for the caching attributes in the TLBs. The new bits were cleared in the finish_tlb_load function, however a similar bit of code was missed in the DataStorage interrupt vector.

6d1a3fb netlink: genl: fix circular locking genetlink has a circular locking dependency when dumping the registered families: - dump start: genl_rcv() : take genl_mutex genl_rcv_msg() : call netlink_dump_start() while holding genl_mutex netlink_dump_start(), netlink_dump() : take nlk->cb_mutex ctrl_dumpfamily() : try to detect this case and not take genl_mutex a second time - dump continuance: netlink_rcv() : call netlink_dump netlink_dump : take nlk->cb_mutex ctrl_dumpfamily() : take genl_mutex Register genl_lock as callback mutex with netlink to fix this. This slightly widens an already existing module unload race, the genl ops used during the dump might go away when the module is unloaded. Thomas Graf is working on a seperate fix for this.

3a5be7d Revert "mac80211: Use skb_header_cloned() on TX path." This reverts commit 608961a5eca8d3c6bd07172febc27b5559408c5d. The problem is that the mac80211 stack not only needs to be able to muck with the link-level headers, it also might need to mangle all of the packet data if doing sw wireless encryption. This fixes kernel bugzilla #10903. Thanks to Didier Raboud (for the bugzilla report), Andrew Prince (for bisecting), Johannes Berg (for bringing this bisection analysis to my attention), and Ilpo (for trying to analyze this purely from the TCP side). In 2.6.27 we can take another stab at this, by using something like skb_cow_data() when the TX path of mac80211 ends up with a non-NULL tx->key. The ESP protocol code in the IPSEC stack can be used as a model for implementation. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> 18 June 2008, 08:19:51 UTC
3c73419 af_unix: fix 'poll for write'/ connected DGRAM sockets The unix_dgram_sendmsg routine implements a (somewhat crude) form of receiver-imposed flow control by comparing the length of the receive queue of the 'peer socket' with the max_ack_backlog value stored in the corresponding sock structure, either blocking the thread which caused the send-routine to be called or returning EAGAIN. This routine is used by both SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET sockets. The poll-implementation for these socket types is datagram_poll from core/datagram.c. A socket is deemed to be writeable by this routine when the memory presently consumed by datagrams owned by it is less than the configured socket send buffer size. This is always wrong for connected PF_UNIX non-stream sockets when the abovementioned receive queue is currently considered to be full. 'poll' will then return, indicating that the socket is writeable, but a subsequent write result in EAGAIN, effectively causing an (usual) application to 'poll for writeability by repeated send request with O_NONBLOCK set' until it has consumed its time quantum. The change below uses a suitably modified variant of the datagram_poll routines for both type of PF_UNIX sockets, which tests if the recv-queue of the peer a socket is connected to is presently considered to be 'full' as part of the 'is this socket writeable'-checking code. The socket being polled is additionally put onto the peer_wait wait queue associated with its peer, because the unix_dgram_sendmsg routine does a wake up on this queue after a datagram was received and the 'other wakeup call' is done implicitly as part of skb destruction, meaning, a process blocked in poll because of a full peer receive queue could otherwise sleep forever if no datagram owned by its socket was already sitting on this queue. Among this change is a small (inline) helper routine named 'unix_recvq_full', which consolidates the actual testing code (in three different places) into a single location.

f09f7ee tun: Proper handling of IPv6 header in tun driver when TUN_NO_PI is set By default, tun.c running in TUN_TUN_DEV mode will set the protocol of packet to IPv4 if TUN_NO_PI is set. My program failed to work when I assumed that the driver will check the first nibble of packet, determine IP version and set the appropriate protocol.

58c7821 atl1: relax eeprom mac address error check The atl1 driver tries to determine the MAC address thusly: - If an EEPROM exists, read the MAC address from EEPROM and validate it. - If an EEPROM doesn't exist, try to read a MAC address from SPI flash. - If that fails, try to read a MAC address directly from the MAC Station Address register. - If that fails, assign a random MAC address provided by the kernel. We now have a report of a system fitted with an EEPROM containing all zeros where we expect the MAC address to be, and we currently handle this as an error condition. Turns out, on this system the BIOS writes a valid MAC address to the NIC's MAC Station Address register, but we never try to read it because we return an error when we find the all- zeros address in EEPROM. This patch relaxes the error check and continues looking for a MAC address even if it finds an illegal one in EEPROM.
