| fcb4304 | Zhang, Yanmin | 24 June 2008, 08:06:23 UTC | x86: fix cpu hotplug crash Vegard Nossum reported crashes during cpu hotplug tests: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121413950227884&w=4 In function _cpu_up, the panic happens when calling __raw_notifier_call_chain at the second time. Kernel doesn't panic when calling it at the first time. If just say because of nr_cpu_ids, that's not right. By checking the source code, I found that function do_boot_cpu is the culprit. Consider below call chain: _cpu_up=>__cpu_up=>smp_ops.cpu_up=>native_cpu_up=>do_boot_cpu. So do_boot_cpu is called in the end. In do_boot_cpu, if boot_error==true, cpu_clear(cpu, cpu_possible_map) is executed. So later on, when _cpu_up calls __raw_notifier_call_chain at the second time to report CPU_UP_CANCELED, because this cpu is already cleared from cpu_possible_map, get_cpu_sysdev returns NULL. Many resources are related to cpu_possible_map, so it's better not to change it. Below patch against 2.6.26-rc7 fixes it by removing the bit clearing in cpu_possible_map.

| 54481cf | Suresh Siddha | 19 June 2008, 16:41:22 UTC | x86: fix NULL pointer deref in __switch_to I am able to reproduce the oops reported by Simon in __switch_to() with lguest. My debug showed that there is at least one lguest specific issue (which should be present in 2.6.25 and before aswell) and it got exposed with a kernel oops with the recent fpu dynamic allocation patches. In addition to the previous possible scenario (with fpu_counter), in the presence of lguest, it is possible that the cpu's TS bit it still set and the lguest launcher task's thread_info has TS_USEDFPU still set. This is because of the way the lguest launcher handling the guest's TS bit. (look at lguest_set_ts() in lguest_arch_run_guest()). This can result in a DNA fault while doing unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to(). This will end up causing a DNA fault in the context of new process thats getting context switched in (as opossed to handling DNA fault in the context of lguest launcher/helper process). This is wrong in both pre and post 2.6.25 kernels. In the recent 2.6.26-rc series, this is showing up as NULL pointer dereferences or sleeping function called from atomic context(__switch_to()), as we free and dynamically allocate the FPU context for the newly created threads. Older kernels might show some FPU corruption for processes running inside of lguest. With the appended patch, my test system is running for more than 50 mins now. So atleast some of your oops (hopefully all!) should get fixed. Please give it a try. I will spend more time with this fix tomorrow.

| df17b1d | Mikael Pettersson | 15 June 2008, 00:19:56 UTC | 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 | Jeremy Fitzhardinge | 06 June 2008, 09:21:39 UTC | 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.

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.

| 65ba6cd | Paul Mackerras | 18 June 2008, 06:40:35 UTC | [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 |

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 | Rainer Weikusat | 18 June 2008, 05:28:05 UTC | 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.

| 58c7821 | Radu Cristescu | 12 June 2008, 22:04:54 UTC | 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.

| 42a886a | Linus Torvalds | 18 June 2008, 00:47:50 UTC | x86-64: Fix "bytes left to copy" return value for copy_from_user() Most users by far do not care about the exact return value (they only really care about whether the copy succeeded in its entirety or not), but a few special core routines actually care deeply about exactly how many bytes were copied from user space. And the unrolled versions of the x86-64 user copy routines would sometimes report that it had copied more bytes than it actually had. Very few uses actually have partial copies to begin with, but to make this bug even harder to trigger, most x86 CPU's use the "rep string" instructions for normal user copies, and that version didn't have this issue. To make it even harder to hit, the one user of this that really cared about the return value (and used the uncached version of the copy that doesn't use the "rep string" instructions) was the generic write routine, which pre-populated its source, once more hiding the problem by avoiding the exception case that triggers the bug. In other words, very special thanks to Bron Gondwana who not only triggered this, but created a test-program to show it, and bisected the behavior down to commit 08291429cfa6258c4cd95d8833beb40f828b194e ("mm: fix pagecache write deadlocks") which changed the access pattern just enough that you can now trigger it with 'writev()' with multiple iovec's. That commit itself was not the cause of the bug, it just allowed all the stars to align just right that you could trigger the problem. [ Side note: this is just the minimal fix to make the copy routines (with __copy_from_user_inatomic_nocache as the particular version that was involved in showing this) have the right return values. We really should improve on the exceptional case further - to make the copy do a byte-accurate copy up to the exact page limit that causes it to fail. As it is, the callers have to do extra work to handle the limit case gracefully. ] Reported-by: Bron Gondwana <brong@fastmail.fm> Cc: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Al Viro <viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> (which didn't have this problem), and since most users that do the carethis was very hard to trigger, but | 18 June 2008, 00:47:50 UTC |

| 6de329e | Ben Hutchings | 17 June 2008, 00:02:28 UTC | net: Fix test for VLAN TX checksum offload capability Selected device feature bits can be propagated to VLAN devices, so we can make use of TX checksum offload and TSO on VLAN-tagged packets. However, if the physical device does not do VLAN tag insertion or generic checksum offload then the test for TX checksum offload in dev_queue_xmit() will see a protocol of htons(ETH_P_8021Q) and yield false. This splits the checksum offload test into two functions: - can_checksum_protocol() tests a given protocol against a feature bitmask - dev_can_checksum() first tests the skb protocol against the device features; if that fails and the protocol is htons(ETH_P_8021Q) then it tests the encapsulated protocol against the effective device features for VLANs Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Acked-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

The latter requires a non-standard -msb1-pass1-workarounds option to be supported by GCC and I am told is quite rare anyway. [Ralf: Afaik -msb1-pass1-workarounds is available only in Monta Vista's special Sibyte gcc 3.0 variant and gcc 3.0 is too old to build a modern kernel anyway.] 2.
