| 1b53dc7 | Michael Kerrisk | 12 March 2009, 21:31:32 UTC | MAINTAINERS: downgrade support for man-pages Unfortunately, Linux Foundation funding for my work on man-pages/testing/doc under the auspices of the LF documentation fellowship unfortunately ran out a short while ago (after earlier attempts to seek funding, only Google stepped forward with a bit of further funding for the position), so the patch below acknowledges something closer to reality. Unfortunately, there will (probably very) soon be a further downgrade from "Maintained" to "Odd Fixes" or "Orphan", unless some funding miracle occurs. So, if anyone is looking to become man-pages maintainer, there may soon be an opening (okay, don't trample me in the rush ;-).)

It breaks after a few instructions. When it tries to check whether SYSEMU is installed (the inner) UML receives an inconsistent result (from the outer UML). This is the output of a broken attempt: $ ./linux mem=256m ubd0=cow Locating the bottom of the address space ... 0x0 Locating the top of the address space ... 0xc0000000 Core dump limits : soft - 0 hard - NONE Checking that ptrace can change system call numbers...OK Checking ptrace new tags for syscall emulation...unsupported Checking syscall emulation patch for ptrace...check_sysemu : expected SIGTRAP, got status = 256 $ The problem is the following: PTRACE_SYSCALL/SINGLESTEP is currently managed inside arch_ptrace for ARCH=um. PTRACE_SYSEMU/SUSEMU_SINGLESTEP is not captured in arch_ptrace's switch, therefore it is erroneously passed back to ptrace_request (in kernel/ptrace). This simple patch simply forces ptrace to return an error on PTRACE_SYSEMU/SUSEMU_SINGLESTEP as it is unsupported on ARCH=um, and fixes the problem.

In other words, if interrupts are disabled by Status.IE=0, it keeps in standby mode even when interrupts are internally asserted. Notes on WAIT: The operation of the processor is undefined if WAIT insn is in the branch delay slot. The operation is also undefined if WAIT insn is executed when Status.EXL and Status.ERL are set to 1. * VR5500A core only implements the Load prefetch. With these changes, it boots fine.

| d801cec | Benjamin Herrenschmidt | 10 March 2009, 23:45:17 UTC | radeonfb/aty128fb: Disable broken early resume hook for PowerBooks radeonfb and aty128fb have a special hook called by the PowerMac platform code very very early on resume from sleep to bring the screen back. This is useful for debugging wakup problems, but unfortunately, this also became a source of problems of its own. The hook is called extremely early, with interrupts still off, and the code path involved with that code nowadays rely on things like taking mutexes, GFP_KERNEL allocations, etc... In addition, the driver now relies on the PCI core to restore the standard config space before calling resume which doesn't happen with this early code path. I'm keeping the code in but commented out along with a fixup call to pci_restore_state(). The reason is that I still want to make it easy to re-enable temporarily to track wake up problems, and it's possible that I can revive it at some stage if we make sleeping things save to call in early resume using a system state. In the meantime, this should fix several reported regressions. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> | 10 March 2009, 23:48:56 UTC |

However, they also both call tty_flip_buffer_push() in conexts where it's illegal to do so since some recent tty changes (or at least it may have been illegal always but it nows blows) when low_latency is set (ie, hard interrupt or with spinlock held and irqs disabled). This removes the setting for now to get them back to working condition, we'll have to address the races described in the comments separately if they are still an issue (some of this might have been fixed already).

Previously i810_main.c:1005 (i810_check_params) was using the global 'yres' symbol previously defined at i810_main.c:145 as a module parameter value holder (i810_main.c:2174). If i810fb is compiled-in or if this param doesn't get a default value, this direct usage leads to a divide-by-zero at i810_main.c:1005 (i810_check_params). The patch simply replace the 'yres' global, perhaps undefined symbol usage by a given parameter structure lookup. This problem occurs with directfb, mplayer -vo fbdev, SDL library.

| 1b23336 | Paul E. McKenney | 10 March 2009, 19:55:52 UTC | idr: make idr_remove_all() do removal -before- free_layer() Fix a problem in the IDR system, where an idr_remove_all() hands a data element to call_rcu() (via free_layer()) before making that data element inaccessible to new readers. This is very bad, and results in readers still having a reference to this data element at the end of the grace period. Tests on large machines that concurrently map and unmap user-space memory within the same multithreaded process result in crashes within about five minutes. Applying this patch increases the kernel's longevity to the three-to-eight-hour range. There appear to be other similar problems in idr_get_empty_slot() and sub_remove(), but I fixed the easy one in idr_remove_all() first. It is therefore no surprise that failures still occur.

| 4750498 | Roel Kluin | 10 March 2009, 19:55:45 UTC | mm: get_nid_for_pfn() returns int get_nid_for_pfn() returns int Presumably the (nid < 0) case has never happened. We do know that it is happening on one system while creating a symlink for a memory section so it should also happen on the same system if unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes() were called to remove the same symlink. The test was actually added in response to a problem with an earlier version reported by Yasunori Goto where one or more of the leading pages of a memory section on the 2nd node of one of his systems was uninitialized because I believe they coincided with a memory hole. That earlier version did not ignore uninitialized pages and determined the nid by considering only the 1st page of each memory section. This caused the symlink to the 1st memory section on the 2nd node to be incorrectly created in /sys/devices/system/node/node0 instead of /sys/devices/system/node/node1. The problem was fixed by adding the test to skip over uninitialized pages. I suspect we have not seen any reports of the non-removal of a symlink due to the incorrect declaration of the nid variable in unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes() because - systems where a memory section could have an uninitialized range of leading pages are probably rare. - memory remove is probably not done very frequently on the systems that are capable of demonstrating the problem. - lingering symlink(s) that should have been removed may have simply gone unnoticed.

Removing the sysfs interface for p4-clockmod was flagged as a regression in bug 12826. Course of action: - Find out the remaining causes of overheating, and fix them if possible. ACPI should be doing the right thing automatically. If it isn't, we need to fix that. - mark p4-clockmod ui as deprecated - try again with the removal in six months. It's not really feasible to printk about the deprecation, because it needs to happen at all the sysfs entry points, which means adding a lot of strcmp("p4-clockmod".. calls to the core, which.. bleuch.

So in acct_update_integrals we may end up with the following scenario: Between reading tsk->stime/tsk->utime and tsk->acct_timexpd an interrupt happens which updates accouting values. This causes acct_timexpd to be greater than the former stime + utime. The subsequent calculation of dtime = cputime_sub(time, tsk->acct_timexpd); will be negative and the division performed by cputime_to_jiffies(dtime) will generate an exception since the result won't fit into a 32 bit register. In order to fix this just always disable interrupts while accessing any of the accounting values.

So do it as we use interrupts instead. Also means we only alloc for irqs we use, which was the intent of CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ anyway.

We can get around this by mugging the family ID part of the cpuid. 5 seems like a good number. Of course, this is a hack (how very lguest!).

If more than one consecutive kmmio_fault_page was re-added during the grace period between unregister_kmmio_probe() and remove_kmmio_fault_pages(), the list manipulation failed to remove pages from the release list. After a second grace period the pages get into rcu_free_kmmio_fault_pages() and raise a BUG_ON() kernel crash. The list manipulation is fixed to properly remove pages from the release list. This bug has been present from the very beginning of mmiotrace in the mainline kernel. It was introduced in 0fd0e3da ("x86: mmiotrace full patch, preview 1"); An urgent fix for Linus. Tested by Stuart (on 32-bit) and Pekka (on amd and intel 64-bit systems, nouveau and nvidia proprietary).

The tick rate define (ORION5X_TCLK) was removed in favor of a runtime detection. The quick fix is to add the define in the watchdog driver. The fix is not correct for all supported orion5x platforms, but since the supported platforms right now are 133 Mhz and 166 Mhz, it won't be _that_ far off. ;-) A fix that uses the runtime-determined timer tick rate will be applied later.
