14fa43f Mark Brown 12 February 2009, 19:33:19 UTC ASoC: Only register AC97 bus if it's not done already ASoC supports both explicit codec drivers for AC97 devices and a simple driver which uses the standard ALSA AC97 framework for codec support. When used with the generic AC97 codec support that will provide the ad hoc AC97 device for drivers like touchscreens to attach to so the core shouldn't do so.

9411e21 Takashi Iwai 13 February 2009, 10:32:28 UTC ALSA: hda - Add snd_hda_multi_out_dig_cleanup() Added the helper function snd_hda_multi_out_dig_cleanup() to clean up the digital outputs with multi setup. This call is needed in cases the codec supports multiple digital outputs as slaves. Otherwise the slave widgets aren't properly cleaned up. For a single digital output (e.g. in patch_conexant.c), this call isn't needed. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> 13 February 2009, 10:59:13 UTC

92258a3 Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski 12 February 2009, 19:27:27 UTC ALSA: hda - Change HP dv7 (103c:30f4) quirk from hp-m4 to hp-dv5 model Change HP dv7 quirk: although reported to work with hp-m4 model (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445321), the original report doesn't contain info about testing of internal microphone. Recently I received a report about internal mic not working (https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44855#c193), this must be related with the forced line in on pin 0x0e done with hp-m4 model. Thus change the current quirk from STAC_HP_M4 to STAC_HP_DV5, later reported to be fixed on a provided kernel with this change (https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44855#c196).

606c0ce Wu Fengguang 11 February 2009, 07:22:29 UTC ALSA: hda - enable HDMI audio pin out at module loading time We found that enabling/disabling HDMI audio pin out at stream start/stop time will kill the leading 500ms or so sound samples. Avoid this by enabling pin out once and for ever at module loading time. The leading ~500ms audio samples will still be lost when switching from X-channel playback to Y-channel playback where X != Y. However there's no much we can do about it: the audio infoframe has to change and it looks like either G45 or YAMAHA requires some time to switch the configuration.

In theory that mapping should be derived from its speaker configurations contained in its ELD. However we currently cannot get ELD in console before the KMS functionalities are ready. This is a more or less general issue at least in the near future. As a workaround, we propose to allow playback of mult-channel audio when ELD is not available.

1fb25cb Benjamin Herrenschmidt 05 February 2009, 01:06:52 UTC radeonfb: Fix resume from D3Cold on some platforms For historical reason, this driver used its own saving/restoring of the PCI config space, and used the state of it on resume as an indication as to whether it needed to re-POST the chip or not. This methods breaks with the later core changes since the core will have restored things for us. This patch fixes it by removing that custom code, using standard core methods to save/restore state, and testing for the need to re-POST by comparing the content of a few key PLL registers.

This can also be seen in commit 8b59560a3baf2e7c24e0fb92ea5d09eca92805db (ACPI: dock: avoid check _STA method). If an undock is processed, the dock driver sends a uevent and userspace might read the show_docked property in sysfs. This causes an evaluation of _STA of the particular device which causes the dock driver to immediately dock again. In any case, evaluation of _STA (show_docked) does not necessarily mean that we are docked, so check with the internal device structure. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12360 Signed-off-by: Holger Macht <hmacht@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> 07 February 2009, 03:08:15 UTC

fd9fc84 Tyler Hicks 07 February 2009, 00:06:51 UTC eCryptfs: Regression in unencrypted filename symlinks The addition of filename encryption caused a regression in unencrypted filename symlink support. ecryptfs_copy_filename() is used when dealing with unencrypted filenames and it reported that the new, copied filename was a character longer than it should have been. This caused the return value of readlink() to count the NULL byte of the symlink target. Most applications don't care about the extra NULL byte, but a version control system (bzr) helped in discovering the bug.

c09249f Roland McGrath 07 February 2009, 02:15:18 UTC x86-64: fix int $0x80 -ENOSYS return One of my past fixes to this code introduced a different new bug. When using 32-bit "int $0x80" entry for a bogus syscall number, the return value is not correctly set to -ENOSYS. This only happens when neither syscall-audit nor syscall tracing is enabled (i.e., never seen if auditd ever started). Test program: /* gcc -o int80-badsys -m32 -g int80-badsys.c Run on x86-64 kernel. Note to reproduce the bug you need auditd never to have started. */ #include <errno.h> #include <stdio.h> int main (void) { long res; asm ("int $0x80" : "=a" (res) : "0" (99999)); printf ("bad syscall returns %ld\n", res); return res != -ENOSYS; } The fix makes the int $0x80 path match the sysenter and syscall paths.

Checking for VM_READ optimizes out the case where get_user() would fail anyway.

0bf2f3a David Howells 06 February 2009, 11:45:46 UTC CRED: Fix SUID exec regression The patch: commit a6f76f23d297f70e2a6b3ec607f7aeeea9e37e8d CRED: Make execve() take advantage of copy-on-write credentials moved the place in which the 'safeness' of a SUID/SGID exec was performed to before de_thread() was called. This means that LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE is now calculated incorrectly. This flag is set if any of the usage counts for fs_struct, files_struct and sighand_struct are greater than 1 at the time the determination is made. All of which are true for threads created by the pthread library. However, since we wish to make the security calculation before irrevocably damaging the process so that we can return it an error code in the case where we decide we want to reject the exec request on this basis, we have to make the determination before calling de_thread(). So, instead, we count up the number of threads (CLONE_THREAD) that are sharing our fs_struct (CLONE_FS), files_struct (CLONE_FILES) and sighand_structs (CLONE_SIGHAND/CLONE_THREAD) with us. These will be killed by de_thread() and so can be discounted by check_unsafe_exec(). We do have to be careful because CLONE_THREAD does not imply FS or FILES. We _assume_ that there will be no extra references to these structs held by the threads we're going to kill. This can be tested with the attached pair of programs. Build the two programs using the Makefile supplied, and run ./test1 as a non-root user. If successful, you should see something like: [dhowells@andromeda tmp]$ ./test1 --TEST1-- uid=4043, euid=4043 suid=4043 exec ./test2 --TEST2-- uid=4043, euid=0 suid=0 SUCCESS - Correct effective user ID and if unsuccessful, something like: [dhowells@andromeda tmp]$ ./test1 --TEST1-- uid=4043, euid=4043 suid=4043 exec ./test2 --TEST2-- uid=4043, euid=4043 suid=4043 ERROR - Incorrect effective user ID!

d4cf109 Dave Kleikamp 06 February 2009, 20:59:26 UTC vfs: Don't call attach_nobh_buffers() with an empty list This is a modification of a patch by Bill Pemberton <wfp5p@virginia.edu> nobh_write_end() could call attach_nobh_buffers() with head == NULL. This would result in a trap when attach_nobh_buffers() attempted to access bh->b_this_page. This can be illustrated by running the writev01 testcase from LTP on jfs. This error was introduced by commit 5b41e74a "vfs: fix data leak in nobh_write_end()". That patch did not take into account that if PageMappedToDisk() is true upon entry to nobh_write_begin(), then no buffers will be allocated for the page. In that case, we won't have to worry about a failed write leaving unitialized data in the page. Of course, head != NULL implies !page_has_buffers(page), so no need to test both.

We need to also enforce it at 'add_new_disk' time for active arrays and at 'do_md_run' time when starting a new array. So move the test from 'hot_add' into 'bind_rdev_to_array' which is called from both 'hot_add' and 'add_new_disk, and add a new test in 'analyse_sbs' which is called from 'do_md_run'.

852c8bf Andre Noll 06 February 2009, 04:10:52 UTC md: Fix a bug in linear.c causing which_dev() to return the wrong device. ab5bd5cbc8d4b868378d062eed3d4240930fbb86 introduced the following bug in linear software raid for large arrays on 32 bit machines: which_dev() computes the device holding a given sector by shifting down the sector number to a 32 bit range, dividing by the array spacing and looking up the resulting index in the hash table of the array. Because the computed index might be slightly too small, a loop at the end of which_dev() increases the index until the given sector actually falls into the range of the device associated with that index. The changes of the above mentioned commit caused this loop to check whether the _index_ rather than the sector number is small enough, effectively bypassing the loop and thus possibly returning the wrong device. As reported by Simon Kirby, this leads to errors such as linear_make_request: Sector 2340486136 out of bounds on dev sdi: 156301312 sectors, offset 2109870464 Fix this bug by introducing a local variable for the index so that the variable containing the passed sector is left unchanged.

Next seq_read() will not notice that ->f_pos is big enough to return 0, but will print last item as if ->f_pos is pointing to it.

33da889 Eric Biederman 04 February 2009, 23:12:25 UTC seq_file: move traverse so it can be used from seq_read In 2.6.25 some /proc files were converted to use the seq_file infrastructure. But seq_files do not correctly support pread(), which broke some usersapce applications. To handle pread correctly we can't assume that f_pos is where we left it in seq_read. So move traverse() so that we can eventually use it in seq_read and do thus some day support pread().

In the case where pfn_valid returns 0 for a pfn at the beginning of do_wp_page and the mapping is not shared writable, the code branches to label `gotten:' with old_page == NULL. In case the vma is locked (vma->vm_flags & VM_LOCKED), lock_page, clear_page_mlock, and unlock_page try to access the old_page. This patch checks whether old_page is valid before it is dereferenced. The regression was introduced by "mlock: mlocked pages are unevictable" (commit b291f000393f5a0b679012b39d79fbc85c018233).

777c6c5 Johannes Weiner 04 February 2009, 23:12:14 UTC wait: prevent exclusive waiter starvation With exclusive waiters, every process woken up through the wait queue must ensure that the next waiter down the line is woken when it has finished. Interruptible waiters don't do that when aborting due to a signal. And if an aborting waiter is concurrently woken up through the waitqueue, noone will ever wake up the next waiter. This has been observed with __wait_on_bit_lock() used by lock_page_killable(): the first contender on the queue was aborting when the actual lock holder woke it up concurrently. The aborted contender didn't acquire the lock and therefor never did an unlock followed by waking up the next waiter. Add abort_exclusive_wait() which removes the process' wait descriptor from the waitqueue, iff still queued, or wakes up the next waiter otherwise. It does so under the waitqueue lock. Racing with a wake up means the aborting process is either already woken (removed from the queue) and will wake up the next waiter, or it will remove itself from the queue and the concurrent wake up will apply to the next waiter after it. Use abort_exclusive_wait() in __wait_event_interruptible_exclusive() and __wait_on_bit_lock() when they were interrupted by other means than a wake up through the queue.

60fd760 Andrew Morton 04 February 2009, 23:12:06 UTC revert "rlimit: permit setting RLIMIT_NOFILE to RLIM_INFINITY" Revert commit 0c2d64fb6cae9aae480f6a46cfe79f8d7d48b59f because it causes (arguably poorly designed) existing userspace to spend interminable periods closing billions of not-open file descriptors. We could bring this back, with some sort of opt-in tunable in /proc, which defaults to "off". Peter's alanysis follows: : I spent several hours trying to get to the bottom of a serious : performance issue that appeared on one of our servers after upgrading to : 2.6.28. In the end it's what could be considered a userspace bug that : was triggered by a change in 2.6.28. Since this might also affect other : people I figured I'd at least document what I found here, and maybe we : can even do something about it: : : : So, I upgraded some of debian.org's machines to 2.6.28.1 and immediately : the team maintaining our ftp archive complained that one of their : scripts that previously ran in a few minutes still hadn't even come : close to being done after an hour or so. Downgrading to 2.6.27 fixed : that. : : Turns out that script is forking a lot and something in it or python or : whereever closes all the file descriptors it doesn't want to pass on. : That is, it starts at zero and goes up to ulimit -n/RLIMIT_NOFILE and : closes them all with a few exceptions. : : Turns out that takes a long time when your limit -n is now 2^20 (1048576). : : With 2.6.27.* the ulimit -n was the standard 1024, but with 2.6.28 it is : now a thousand times that. : : 2.6.28 included a patch titled "rlimit: permit setting RLIMIT_NOFILE to : RLIM_INFINITY" (0c2d64fb6cae9aae480f6a46cfe79f8d7d48b59f)[1] that : allows, as the title implies, to set the limit for number of files to : infinity. : : Closer investigation showed that the broken default ulimit did not apply : to "system" processes (like stuff started from init). In the end I : could establish that all processes that passed through pam_limit at one : point had the bad resource limit. : : Apparently the pam library in Debian etch (4.0) initializes the limits : to some default values when it doesn't have any settings in limit.conf : to override them. Turns out that for nofiles this is RLIM_INFINITY. : Commenting out "case RLIMIT_NOFILE" in pam_limit.c:267 of our pam : package version 0.79-5 fixes that - tho I'm not sure what side effects : that has. : : Debian lenny (the upcoming 5.0 version) doesn't have this issue as it : uses a different pam (version).

This bad assumption can cause shmctl(SHM_INFO) to lockup when shm_get_stat() tries to spin_lock(&info->lock). Users of !CONFIG_SHMEM may encounter this lockup simply by invoking the 'ipcs' command.
