81711ce Chris Metcalf 14 December 2010, 21:07:25 UTC arch/tile: handle rt_sigreturn() more cleanly The current tile rt_sigreturn() syscall pattern uses the common idiom of loading up pt_regs with all the saved registers from the time of the signal, then anticipating the fact that we will clobber the ABI "return value" register (r0) as we return from the syscall by setting the rt_sigreturn return value to whatever random value was in the pt_regs for r0. However, this breaks in our 64-bit kernel when running "compat" tasks, since we always sign-extend the "return value" register to properly handle returned pointers that are in the upper 2GB of the 32-bit compat address space. Doing this to the sigreturn path then causes occasional random corruption of the 64-bit r0 register. Instead, we stop doing the crazy "load the return-value register" hack in sigreturn. We already have some sigreturn-specific assembly code that we use to pass the pt_regs pointer to C code. We extend that code to also set the link register to point to a spot a few instructions after the usual syscall return address so we don't clobber the saved r0. Now it no longer matters what the rt_sigreturn syscall returns, and the pt_regs structure can be cleanly and completely reloaded.

bc4cf2b Chris Metcalf 14 December 2010, 20:57:49 UTC arch/tile: handle CLONE_SETTLS in copy_thread(), not user space Previously we were just setting up the "tp" register in the new task as started by clone() in libc. However, this is not quite right, since in principle a signal might be delivered to the new task before it had its TLS set up. (Of course, this race window still exists for resetting the libc getpid() cached value in the new task, in principle. But in any case, we are now doing this exactly the way all other architectures do it.) This change is important for 2.6.37 since the tile glibc we will be submitting upstream will not set TLS in user space any more, so it will only work on a kernel that has this fix. It should also be taken for 2.6.36.x in the stable tree if possible. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com> Cc: stable <stable@kernel.org> 17 December 2010, 21:56:50 UTC

a2c606d Bjorn Helgaas 16 December 2010, 17:39:02 UTC x86: avoid high BIOS area when allocating address space This prevents allocation of the last 2MB before 4GB. The experiment described here shows Windows 7 ignoring the last 1MB: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23542#c27 This patch ignores the top 2MB instead of just 1MB because H. Peter Anvin says "There will be ROM at the top of the 32-bit address space; it's a fact of the architecture, and on at least older systems it was common to have a shadow 1 MiB below." Acked-by: H.

4dc2287 Bjorn Helgaas 16 December 2010, 17:38:56 UTC x86: avoid E820 regions when allocating address space When we allocate address space, e.g., to assign it to a PCI device, don't allocate anything mentioned in the BIOS E820 memory map. On recent machines (2008 and newer), we assign PCI resources from the windows described by the ACPI PCI host bridge _CRS. On many Dell machines, these windows overlap some E820 reserved areas, e.g., BIOS-e820: 00000000bfe4dc00 - 00000000c0000000 (reserved) pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0xbff00000-0xdfffffff] If we put devices at 0xbff00000, they don't work, probably because that's really RAM, not I/O memory. This patch prevents that by removing the 0xbfe4dc00-0xbfffffff area from the "available" resource. I'm not very happy with this solution because Windows solves the problem differently (it seems to ignore E820 reserved areas and it allocates top-down instead of bottom-up; details at comment 45 of the bugzilla below). That means we're vulnerable to BIOS defects that Windows would not trip over. For example, if BIOS described a device in ACPI but didn't mention it in E820, Windows would work fine but Linux would fail. Reference: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16228 Acked-by: H.

30919b0 Bjorn Helgaas 16 December 2010, 17:38:51 UTC x86: avoid low BIOS area when allocating address space This implements arch_remove_reservations() so allocate_resource() can avoid any arch-specific reserved areas. This currently just avoids the BIOS area (the first 1MB), but could be used for E820 reserved areas if that turns out to be necessary. We previously avoided this area in pcibios_align_resource(). This patch moves the test from that PCI-specific path to a generic path, so *all* resource allocations will avoid this area. Acked-by: H.

fcb1191 Bjorn Helgaas 16 December 2010, 17:38:46 UTC resources: add arch hook for preventing allocation in reserved areas This adds arch_remove_reservations(), which an arch can implement if it needs to protect part of the address space from allocation. Sometimes that can be done by just putting a region in the resource tree, but there are cases where that doesn't work well. For example, x86 BIOS E820 reservations are not related to devices, so they may overlap part of, all of, or more than a device resource, so they may not end up at the correct spot in the resource tree.

49c2fa0 Neil Horman 08 December 2010, 14:47:48 UTC PCI: Update MCP55 quirk to not affect non HyperTransport variants I wrote this quirk awhile ago to properly setup MCP55 chips on hypertransport busses so that interrupts reached whatever cpu happend to boot the kdump kernel. while that works well, it was recently shown to me that a a non-hypertransport variant of the MCP55 exists, and on those system the register that this quirk manipulates causes hangs if you write to it. Since the quirk was only meant to handle errors found on MCP55 chips that have a HT interface, this patch adds a filter to make sure the chip is an HT capable before making the needed register adjustment. This lets the broken MCP55s work with kdump while not breaking the non-HT variants. Resolves https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23952 Tested successfully by the reporter and myself.

This is best illustrated with a simple program, which I'm copying here from the message above for easier reference: $ cat ld.s ld $5,32767($4) ld $5,32768($4) This gets assebled into the following output: $ mips-linux-as -32 -mips3 -o ld.o ld.s $ mips-linux-objdump -d ld.o ld.o: file format elf32-tradbigmips Disassembly of section .text: 00000000 <.text>: 0: dc857fff ld a1,32767(a0) 4: 3c010001 lui at,0x1 8: 00810821 addu at,a0,at c: 8c258000 lw a1,-32768(at) 10: 8c268004 lw a2,-32764(at) ... Oops! The GAS fix makes the macro behave in a consistent way and pairs of LW/SW instructions to be output as appropriate regardless of the size of the offset associated with the address used. The machine instruction is still available, but to reach it macros have to be disabled first. This has a side effect of requiring the use of a machine-addressable memory operand. As some platforms require 64-bit operations for accesses to some I/O registers LD/SD instructions are used in a couple of places in Linux regardless of the ABI selected. Here's a fix for some pieces of code affected I've been able to track down. The fix should be backwards compatible with all supported binutils releases in existence and can be used as a reference for any other places or off-tree code. The use of the "R" constraint guarantees a machine-addressable operand. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

Use nvram_getenv function, which is in mainline and use an include instead of an extra function declaration. et0macaddr contains the mac address in text from like 00:11:22:33:44:55. We have to parse it before adding it into macaddr. nvram_parse_macaddr will be merged into asm/mach-bcm47xx/nvram.h through the MIPS git tree and will be available soon. It will not build now without nvram_parse_macaddr, but it hasn't before either.

The CPU may perform the comparison each time CP0 COUNT increments, not when CP0 COMPARE is written. If mips_next_event() is called with a very small delta, and CP0 COUNT increments during the calculation of "cnt += delta", it is possible that CP0 COMPARE will be written with the current value of CP0 COUNT. If this is detected, the function should return -ETIME, to indicate that the interrupt might not have actually gotten scheduled.

The callback is not executed if pm_runtime_suspended() returns true, but it does so for devices that don't even support runtime PM, because the power.disable_depth device field is ignored by it.

8e92c20 Peter Zijlstra 09 December 2010, 13:15:34 UTC sched: Fix the irqtime code for 32bit Since the irqtime accounting is using non-atomic u64 and can be read from remote cpus (writes are strictly cpu local, reads are not) we have to deal with observing partial updates. When we do observe partial updates the clock movement (in particular, ->clock_task movement) will go funny (in either direction), a subsequent clock update (observing the full update) will make it go funny in the oposite direction. Since we rely on these clocks to be strictly monotonic we cannot suffer backwards motion. One possible solution would be to simply ignore all backwards deltas, but that will lead to accounting artefacts, most notable: clock_task + irq_time != clock, this inaccuracy would end up in user visible stats. Therefore serialize the reads using a seqcount.

da32dac Rusty Russell 16 December 2010, 23:03:15 UTC lguest: populate initial_page_table Two x86 patches broke lguest: 1) v2.6.35-492-g72d7c3b, which changed x86 to use the memblock allocator. In lguest, the host places linear page tables at the top of mem, which used to be enough to get us up to the swapper_pg_dir page tables. With the first patch, the direct mapping tables used that memory: Before: kernel direct mapping tables up to 4000000 @ 7000-1a000 After: kernel direct mapping tables up to 4000000 @ 3fed000-4000000 I initially fixed this by lying about the amount of memory we had, so the kernel wouldn't blatt the lguest boot pagetables (yuk!), but then... 2) v2.6.36-rc8-54-gb40827f, which made x86 boot use initial_page_table. This was initialized in a part of head_32.S which isn't executed by lguest; it is then copied into swapper_pg_dir. So we have to initialize it; and anyway we switch to it before we blatt the old tables, so that fixes the previous damage as well. For the moment, I cut & pasted the code into lguest's boot code, but next merge window I will merge them.

bb4093d Rusty Russell 16 December 2010, 23:03:15 UTC lguest: restore boot speed lguest is dumb and drops *all* the pagetables for set_pte (which is only used for kernel mapping manipulation, so it's OK without highmem). But it's used a lot in boot, too. As a guest optimization, we suppressed this flushing until the first page switch. Now we have initial_page_table, that happens much earlier, so extend the heuristic to wait until we switch to something other than the swapper_pg_dir or initial_page_table. As measured on my laptop under kvm, this dropped the time-to-mount-root from 48 seconds to 4.3 seconds. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> 16 December 2010, 06:33:15 UTC

947b10a Ryusuke Konishi 16 December 2010, 00:57:57 UTC nilfs2: fix regression of garbage collection ioctl On 2.6.37-rc1, garbage collection ioctl of nilfs was broken due to the commit 263d90cefc7d82a0 ("nilfs2: remove own inode hash used for GC"), and leading to filesystem corruption. The patch doesn't queue gc-inodes for log writer if they are reused through the vfs inode cache. Here, gc-inode is the inode which buffers blocks to be relocated on GC. That patch queues gc-inodes in nilfs_init_gcinode() function, but this function is not called when they don't have I_NEW flag. Thus, some of live blocks are wrongly overrode without being moved to new logs. This resolves the problem by moving the gc-inode queueing to an outer function to ensure it's done right.

The install_special_mapping routine (used, for example, to setup the vdso) skips the security check before insert_vm_struct, allowing a local attacker to bypass the mmap_min_addr security restriction by limiting the available pages for special mappings. bprm_mm_init() also skips the check, and although I don't think this can be used to bypass any restrictions, I don't see any reason not to have the security check. $ uname -m x86_64 $ cat /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr 65536 $ cat install_special_mapping.s section .bss resb BSS_SIZE section .text global _start _start: mov eax, __NR_pause int 0x80 $ nasm -D__NR_pause=29 -DBSS_SIZE=0xfffed000 -f elf -o install_special_mapping.o install_special_mapping.s $ ld -m elf_i386 -Ttext=0x10000 -Tbss=0x11000 -o install_special_mapping install_special_mapping.o $ ./install_special_mapping & [1] 14303 $ cat /proc/14303/maps 0000f000-00010000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] 00010000-00011000 r-xp 00001000 00:19 2453665 /home/taviso/install_special_mapping 00011000-ffffe000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] It's worth noting that Red Hat are shipping with mmap_min_addr set to 4096.

ab4e019 Dmitry Torokhov 15 December 2010, 07:53:21 UTC Input: define separate EVIOCGKEYCODE_V2/EVIOCSKEYCODE_V2 The desire to keep old names for the EVIOCGKEYCODE/EVIOCSKEYCODE while extending them to support large scancodes was a mistake. While we tried to keep ABI intact (and we succeeded in doing that, programs compiled on older kernels will work on newer ones) there is still a problem with recompiling existing software with newer kernel headers. New kernel headers will supply updated ioctl numbers and kernel will expect that userspace will use struct input_keymap_entry to set and retrieve keymap data. But since the names of ioctls are still the same userspace will happily compile even if not adjusted to make use of the new structure and will start miraculously fail in the field. To avoid this issue let's revert EVIOCGKEYCODE/EVIOCSKEYCODE definitions and add EVIOCGKEYCODE_V2/EVIOCSKEYCODE_V2 so that userspace can explicitly select the style of ioctls it wants to employ.
