Refering to: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13265 This patch fixes the BUG via replacing global variable reference: kexec_image in machine_kexec() with local variable reference: image, which is more appropriate, and will not be null.

8a0a9bd Linus Torvalds 05 May 2009, 15:17:43 UTC random: make get_random_int() more random It's a really simple patch that basically just open-codes the current "secure_ip_id()" call, but when open-coding it we now use a _static_ hashing area, so that it gets updated every time. And to make sure somebody can't just start from the same original seed of all-zeroes, and then do the "half_md4_transform()" over and over until they get the same sequence as the kernel has, each iteration also mixes in the same old "current->pid + jiffies" we used - so we should now have a regular strong pseudo-number generator, but we also have one that doesn't have a single seed. Note: the "pid + jiffies" is just meant to be a tiny tiny bit of noise. It has no real meaning. It could be anything. I just picked the previous seed, it's just that now we keep the state in between calls and that will feed into the next result, and that should make all the difference. I made that hash be a per-cpu data just to avoid cache-line ping-pong: having multiple CPU's write to the same data would be fine for randomness, and add yet another layer of chaos to it, but since get_random_int() is supposed to be a fast interface I did it that way instead. I considered using "__raw_get_cpu_var()" to avoid any preemption overhead while still getting the hash be _mostly_ ping-pong free, but in the end good taste won out.

ae51e60 Paul Gortmaker 07 May 2009, 15:18:40 UTC [ARM] 5507/1: support R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and MOVT_ABS relocation types From: Bruce Ashfield <bruce.ashfield@windriver.com> To fully support the armv7-a instruction set/optimizations, support for the R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and R_ARM_MOVT_ABS relocation types is required. The MOVW and MOVT are both load-immediate instructions, MOVW loads 16 bits into the bottom half of a register, and MOVT loads 16 bits into the top half of a register. The relocation information for these instructions has a full 32 bit value, plus an addend which is stored in the 16 immediate bits in the instruction itself. The immediate bits in the instruction are not contiguous (the register # splits it into a 4 bit and 12 bit value), so the addend has to be extracted accordingly and added to the value. The value is then split and put into the instruction; a MOVW uses the bottom 16 bits of the value, and a MOVT uses the top 16 bits.

c464729 NeilBrown 07 May 2009, 02:51:06 UTC md: remove rd%d links immediately after stopping an array. md maintains link in sys/mdXX/md/ to identify which device has which role in the array. e.g. rd2 -> dev-sda indicates that the device with role '2' in the array is sda. These links are only present when the array is active. They are created immediately after ->run is called, and so should be removed immediately after ->stop is called. However they are currently removed a little bit later, and it is possible for ->run to be called again, thus adding these links, before they are removed. So move the removal earlier so they are consistently only present when the array is active. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> 07 May 2009, 02:51:06 UTC
5bf2959 NeilBrown 07 May 2009, 02:50:57 UTC md: remove ability to explicit set an inactive array to 'clean'. Being able to write 'clean' to an 'array_state' of an inactive array to activate it in 'clean' mode is both unnecessary and inconvenient. It is unnecessary because the same can be achieved by writing 'active'. This activates and array, but it still remains 'clean' until the first write. It is inconvenient because writing 'clean' is more often used to cause an 'active' array to revert to 'clean' mode (thus blocking any writes until a 'write-pending' is promoted to 'active'). Allowing 'clean' to both activate an array and mark an active array as clean can lead to races: One program writes 'clean' to mark the active array as clean at the same time as another program writes 'inactive' to deactivate (stop) and active array. Depending on which writes first, the array could be deactivated and immediately reactivated which isn't what was desired. So just disable the use of 'clean' to activate an array. This avoids a race that can be triggered with mdadm-3.0 and external metadata, so it suitable for -stable.

dd71cf6 NeilBrown 07 May 2009, 02:49:35 UTC md: tidy up status_resync to handle large arrays. Two problems in status_resync. 1/ It still used Kilobytes as the basic block unit, while most code now uses sectors uniformly. 2/ It doesn't allow for the possibility that max_sectors exceeds the range of "unsigned long". So - change "max_blocks" to "max_sectors", and store sector numbers in there and in 'resync' - Make 'rt' a 'sector_t' so it can temporarily hold the number of remaining sectors. - use sector_div rather than normal division. - change the magic '100' used to preserve precision to '32'. + making it a power of 2 makes division easier + it doesn't need to be as large as it was chosen when we averaged speed over the entire run. Now we average speed over the last 30 seconds or so. Reported-by: "Mario 'BitKoenig' Holbe" <Mario.Holbe@TU-Ilmenau.DE> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> 07 May 2009, 02:49:35 UTC

1805556 NeilBrown 07 May 2009, 02:48:10 UTC md/raid10: don't clear bitmap during recovery if array will still be degraded. If we have a raid10 with multiple missing devices, and we recover just one of these to a spare, then we risk (depending on the bitmap and array chunk size) clearing bits of the bitmap for which recovery isn't complete (because a device is still missing). This can lead to a subsequent "re-add" being recovered without any IO happening, which would result in loss of data. This patch takes the safe approach of not clearing bitmap bits if the array will still be degraded. This patch is suitable for all active -stable kernels.

b74fd28 NeilBrown 07 May 2009, 02:47:19 UTC md: fix loading of out-of-date bitmap. When md is loading a bitmap which it knows is out of date, it fills each page with 1s and writes it back out again. However the write_page call makes used of bitmap->file_pages and bitmap->last_page_size which haven't been set correctly yet. So this can sometimes fail. Move the setting of file_pages and last_page_size to before the call to write_page. This bug can cause the assembly on an array to fail, thus making the data inaccessible. Hence I think it is a suitable candidate for -stable. Cc: stable@kernel.org Reported-by: Vojtech Pavlik <vojtech@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> 07 May 2009, 02:47:19 UTC

fc4d5c2 David Howells 06 May 2009, 23:03:05 UTC nommu: make the initial mmap allocation excess behaviour Kconfig configurable NOMMU mmap() has an option controlled by a sysctl variable that determines whether the allocations made by do_mmap_private() should have the excess space trimmed off and returned to the allocator. Make the initial setting of this variable a Kconfig configuration option. The reason there can be excess space is that the allocator only allocates in power-of-2 size chunks, but mmap()'s can be made in sizes that aren't a power of 2. There are two alternatives: (1) Keep the excess as dead space. The dead space then remains unused for the lifetime of the mapping. Mappings of shared objects such as libc, ld.so or busybox's text segment may retain their dead space forever. (2) Return the excess to the allocator. This means that the dead space is limited to less than a page per mapping, but it means that for a transient process, there's more chance of fragmentation as the excess space may be reused fairly quickly. During the boot process, a lot of transient processes are created, and this can cause a lot of fragmentation as the pagecache and various slabs grow greatly during this time. By turning off the trimming of excess space during boot and disabling batching of frees, Coldfire can manage to boot. A better way of doing things might be to have /sbin/init turn this option off. By that point libc, ld.so and init - which are all long-duration processes - have all been loaded and trimmed.

3a6be87 David Howells 06 May 2009, 23:03:03 UTC nommu: clamp zone_batchsize() to 0 under NOMMU conditions Clamp zone_batchsize() to 0 under NOMMU conditions to stop free_hot_cold_page() from queueing and batching frees. The problem is that under NOMMU conditions it is really important to be able to allocate large contiguous chunks of memory, but when munmap() or exit_mmap() releases big stretches of memory, return of these to the buddy allocator can be deferred, and when it does finally happen, it can be in small chunks. Whilst the fragmentation this incurs isn't so much of a problem under MMU conditions as userspace VM is glued together from individual pages with the aid of the MMU, it is a real problem if there isn't an MMU. By clamping the page freeing queue size to 0, pages are returned to the allocator immediately, and the buddy detector is more likely to be able to glue them together into large chunks immediately, and fragmentation is less likely to occur. By disabling batching of frees, and by turning off the trimming of excess space during boot, Coldfire can manage to boot.

bdca0f9 Michal Januszewski 06 May 2009, 23:02:56 UTC fbdev: fix fillrect for 24bpp modes The software fillrect routines do not work properly when the number of pixels per machine word is not an integer. To see that, run the following command on a fbdev console with a 24bpp video mode, using a non-accelerated driver such as (u)vesafb: reset ; echo -e '\e[41mtest\e[K' The expected result is 'test' displayed on a line with red background. Instead of that, 'test' has a red background, but the rest of the line (rendered using fillrect()) contains a distored colorful pattern. This patch fixes the problem by correctly computing rotation shifts. It has been tested in a 24bpp mode on 32- and 64-bit little-endian machines.

This normally happens when it is set to OOM_DISABLE, but is also possible if any threads are sharing the same ->mm with a different tgid. So change __out_of_memory() to fall back to the full task-list scan if it was unable to kill `current'.

381a80e Wu Fengguang 06 May 2009, 23:02:50 UTC inotify: use GFP_NOFS in kernel_event() to work around a lockdep false-positive There is what we believe to be a false positive reported by lockdep. inotify_inode_queue_event() => take inotify_mutex => kernel_event() => kmalloc() => SLOB => alloc_pages_node() => page reclaim => slab reclaim => dcache reclaim => inotify_inode_is_dead => take inotify_mutex => deadlock The plan is to fix this via lockdep annotation, but that is proving to be quite involved. The patch flips the allocation over to GFP_NFS to shut the warning up, for the 2.6.30 release. Hopefully we will fix this for real in 2.6.31.

2196d1c Enrik Berkhan 05 May 2009, 06:39:25 UTC i2c-algo-pca: Let PCA9564 recover from unacked data byte (state 0x30) Currently, the i2c-algo-pca driver does nothing if the chip enters state 0x30 (Data byte in I2CDAT has been transmitted; NOT ACK has been received). Thus, the i2c bus connected to the controller gets stuck afterwards. I have seen this kind of error on a custom board in certain load situations most probably caused by interference or noise. A possible reaction is to let the controller generate a STOP condition. This is documented in the PCA9564 data sheet (2006-09-01) and the same is done for other NACK states as well. Further, state 0x38 isn't handled completely, either. Try to do another START in this case like the data sheet says. As this couldn't be tested, I've added a comment to try to reset the chip if the START doesn't help as suggested by Wolfram Sang.

e151a60 Jesse Brandeburg 04 May 2009, 11:19:42 UTC e1000: fix virtualization bug a recent fix to e1000 (commit 15b2bee2) caused KVM/QEMU/VMware based virtualized e1000 interfaces to begin failing when resetting. This is because the driver in a virtual environment doesn't get to run instructions *AT ALL* when an interrupt is asserted. The interrupt code runs immediately and this recent bug fix allows an interrupt to be possible when the interrupt handler will reject it (due to the new code), when being called from any path in the driver that holds the E1000_RESETTING flag. the driver should use the __E1000_DOWN flag instead of the __E1000_RESETTING flag to prevent interrupt execution while reconfiguring the hardware.

f83ce3e Jake Edge 04 May 2009, 18:51:14 UTC proc: avoid information leaks to non-privileged processes By using the same test as is used for /proc/pid/maps and /proc/pid/smaps, only allow processes that can ptrace() a given process to see information that might be used to bypass address space layout randomization (ASLR). These include eip, esp, wchan, and start_stack in /proc/pid/stat as well as the non-symbolic output from /proc/pid/wchan. ASLR can be bypassed by sampling eip as shown by the proof-of-concept code at http://code.google.com/p/fuzzyaslr/ As part of a presentation (http://www.cr0.org/paper/to-jt-linux-alsr-leak.pdf) esp and wchan were also noted as possibly usable information leaks as well. The start_stack address also leaks potentially useful information.

a67e899 Marcel Holtmann 03 May 2009, 01:24:06 UTC Bluetooth: Fix issue with sysfs handling for connections Due to a semantic changes in flush_workqueue() the current approach of synchronizing the sysfs handling for connections doesn't work anymore. The whole approach is actually fully broken and based on assumptions that are no longer valid. With the introduction of Simple Pairing support, the creation of low-level ACL links got changed. This change invalidates the reason why in the past two independent work queues have been used for adding/removing sysfs devices. The adding of the actual sysfs device is now postponed until the host controller successfully assigns an unique handle to that link. So the real synchronization happens inside the controller and not the host. The only left-over problem is that some internals of the sysfs device handling are not initialized ahead of time. This leaves potential access to invalid data and can cause various NULL pointer dereferences. To fix this a new function makes sure that all sysfs details are initialized when an connection attempt is made. The actual sysfs device is only registered when the connection has been successfully established. To avoid a race condition with the registration, the check if a device is registered has been moved into the removal work. As an extra protection two flush_work() calls are left in place to make sure a previous add/del work has been completed first.

EEM is different from the Ethernet Control Model (ECM) currently supported by the "CDC Ethernet" driver. One key difference is that it doesn't require of USB interface alternate settings to manage interface state; some maldesigned hardware can't handle that part of USB. It also avoids a separate USB interface for control and status updates.
