The reipl device information is passed from the kernel to zfcpdump using a pointer in the lowcore (0xe00) that points to the reipl information Currently if that pointer is not zero, we copy the reipl information. If the pointer is not initialized and points outside the accessible memory, it can happen that the memory copy fails. In that case we currently stop the initialization of zcore which leads to a failing kernel dump. The correct behavior is to disable the reipl after dump and continue with zcore intialization.

Commit "timekeeping: Fix clock_gettime vsyscall time warp" (0696b711) introduced the new parameter "mult" to update_vsyscall(). This parameter contains the internal NTP adjusted clock multiplier. The s390x vdso did not use this adjusted multiplier. Instead, it used the constant clock multiplier for gettimeofday() and clock_gettime() variants. This may result in observable time warps as explained in commit 0696b711. Make the NTP adjusted clock multiplier available to the s390x vdso implementation and use it for time calculations.

creds_are_invalid() reads both cred->usage and cred->subscribers and then compares them to make sure the number of processes subscribed to a cred struct never exceeds the refcount of that cred struct. The problem is that this can cause a race with both copy_creds() and exit_creds() as the two counters, whilst they are of atomic_t type, are only atomic with respect to themselves, and not atomic with respect to each other. This means that if creds_are_invalid() can read the values on one CPU whilst they're being modified on another CPU, and so can observe an evolving state in which the subscribers count now is greater than the usage count a moment before. Switching the order in which the counts are read cannot help, so the thing to do is to remove that particular check. I had considered rechecking the values to see if they're in flux if the test fails, but I can't guarantee they won't appear the same, even if they've changed several times in the meantime. Note that this can only happen if CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS is enabled. The problem is only likely to occur with multithreaded programs, and can be tested by the tst-eintr1 program from glibc's "make check". The symptoms look like: CRED: Invalid credentials CRED: At include/linux/cred.h:240 CRED: Specified credentials: ffff88003dda5878 [real][eff] CRED: ->magic=43736564, put_addr=(null) CRED: ->usage=766, subscr=766 CRED: ->*uid = { 0,0,0,0 } CRED: ->*gid = { 0,0,0,0 } CRED: ->security is ffff88003d72f538 CRED: ->security {359, 359} ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at kernel/cred.c:850! ...

Patch 570b8fb5: Author: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Date: Tue Mar 30 00:04:00 2010 +0100 Subject: CRED: Fix memory leak in error handling attempts to fix a memory leak in the error handling by making the offending return statement into a jump down to the bottom of the function where a kfree(tgcred) is inserted. This is, however, incorrect, as it does a kfree() after doing put_cred() if security_prepare_creds() fails. That will result in a double free if 'error' is jumped to as put_cred() will also attempt to free the new tgcred record by virtue of it being pointed to by the new cred record.
