      x86: add NOPL as a synthetic CPU feature bit · b6734c35
      H. Peter Anvin authored
      The long noops ("NOPL") are supposed to be detected by family >= 6.
      Unfortunately, several non-Intel x86 implementations, both hardware
      and software, don't obey this dictum.  Instead, probe for NOPL
      directly by executing a NOPL instruction and see if we get #UD.

      x86: boot: stub out unimplemented CPU feature words · b74b06c5
      H. Peter Anvin authored
      The CPU feature detection code in the boot code is somewhat minimal,
      and doesn't include all possible CPUID words.  In particular, it
      doesn't contain the code for CPU feature words 2 (Transmeta),
      3 (Linux-specific), 5 (VIA), or 7 (scattered).  Zero them out, so we
      can still set those bits as known at compile time; in particular, this
      allows creating a Linux-specific NOPL flag and have it required (and
      therefore resolvable at compile time) in 64-bit mode.

      The TSC calibration function is still very complicated, but this makes

      [x86] Fix TSC calibration issues · fbb16e24
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      Larry Finger reported at http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/1/90:
      An ancient laptop of mine started throwing errors from b43legacy when
      I started using 2.6.27 on it. This has been bisected to commit bfc0f594
      "x86: merge tsc calibration".
      
      The unification of the TSC code adopted mostly the 64bit code, which
      prefers PMTIMER/HPET over the PIT calibration.
      
      Larrys system has an AMD K6 CPU. Such systems are known to have
      PMTIMER incarnations which run at double speed. This results in a
      miscalibration of the TSC by factor 0.5. So the resulting calibrated
      CPU/TSC speed is half of the real CPU speed, which means that the TSC
      based delay loop will run half the time it should run. That might
      explain why the b43legacy driver went berserk.
      
      On the other hand we know about systems, where the PIT based
      calibration results in random crap due to heavy SMI/SMM
      disturbance. On those systems the PMTIMER/HPET based calibration logic
      with SMI detection shows better results.
      
      According to Alok also virtualized systems suffer from the PIT
      calibration method.
      
      The solution is to use a more wreckage aware aproach than the current
      either/or decision.
      
      1) reimplement the retry loop which was dropped from the 32bit code
      during the merge. It repeats the calibration and selects the lowest
      frequency value as this is probably the closest estimate to the real
      frequency
      
      2) Monitor the delta of the TSC values in the delay loop which waits
      for the PIT counter to reach zero. If the maximum value is
      significantly different from the minimum, then we have a pretty safe
      indicator that the loop was disturbed by an SMI.
      
      3) keep the pmtimer/hpet reference as a backup solution for systems
      where the SMI disturbance is a permanent point of failure for PIT
      based calibration
      
      4) do the loop iteration for both methods, record the lowest value and
      decide after all iterations finished.
      
      5) Set a clear preference to PIT based calibration when the result
      makes sense.
      
      The implementation does the reference calibration based on
      HPET/PMTIMER around the delay, which is necessary for the PIT anyway,
      but keeps separate TSC values to ensure the "independency" of the
      resulting calibration values.
      
      Tested on various 32bit/64bit machines including Geode 266Mhz, AMD K6
      (affected machine with a double speed pmtimer which I grabbed out of
      the dump), Pentium class machines and AMD/Intel 64 bit boxen.

      ipsec: Fix deadlock in xfrm_state management. · 37b08e34
      David S. Miller authored
      Ever since commit 4c563f76
      ("[XFRM]: Speed up xfrm_policy and xfrm_state walking") it is
      illegal to call __xfrm_state_destroy (and thus xfrm_state_put())
      with xfrm_state_lock held.  If we do, we'll deadlock since we
      have the lock already and __xfrm_state_destroy() tries to take
      it again.
      
      Fix this by pushing the xfrm_state_put() calls after the lock
      is dropped.

      Fix a bug reported by and diagnosed by Aaron Straus.
      
      This is a regression intruduced into 2.6.26 by
      
          commit adc782da

              random: simplify and rename credit_entropy_store
      
      credit_entropy_bits() does:
      
      	spin_lock_irqsave(&r->lock, flags);
      	...
      	if (r->entropy_count > r->poolinfo->POOLBITS)
      		r->entropy_count = r->poolinfo->POOLBITS;
      
      so there is a time window in which this BUG_ON():
      
      static size_t account(struct entropy_store *r, size_t nbytes, int min,
      		      int reserved)
      {
      	unsigned long flags;
      
      	BUG_ON(r->entropy_count > r->poolinfo->POOLBITS);
      
      	/* Hold lock while accounting */
      	spin_lock_irqsave(&r->lock, flags);
      
      can trigger.
      
      We could fix this by moving the assertion inside the lock, but it seems
      safer and saner to revert to the old behaviour wherein
      entropy_store.entropy_count at no time exceeds
      entropy_store.poolinfo->POOLBITS.

      pm_qos_requirement might sleep · 9d359357
      John Kacur authored
      Make PM_QOS and CPU_IDLE play nicer when run with the RT-Preempt kernel.
      
      The purpose of the patch is to remove the spin_lock around the read in the
      function pm_qos_requirement - since spinlocks can sleep in -rt and this
      function is called from idle.
      
      CPU_IDLE polls the target_value's of some of the pm_qos parameters from
      the idle loop causing sleeping locking warnings.  Changing the
      target_value to an atomic avoids this issue.
      
      Remove the spinlock in pm_qos_requirement by making target_value an atomic
      type.

      ibft: fix target info parsing in ibft module · bb8fb4e6
      Mike Christie authored
      I got this patch through Red Hat's bugzilla from the bug submitter and
      patch creator.  I have just fixed it up so it applies without fuzz to
      upstream kernels.
      
      Original patch and description from Shyam kumar Iyer:
      
      The issue [ibft module not displaying targets with short names] is because
      of an offset calculatation error in the iscsi_ibft.c code.  Due to this
      error directory structure for the target in /sys/firmware/ibft does not
      get created and so the initiator is unable to connect to the target.
      
      Note that this bug surfaced only with an name that had a short section at
      the end.  eg: "iqn.1984-05.com.dell:dell".  It did not surface when the
      iqn's had a longer section at the end.  eg:
      "iqn.2001-04.com.example:storage.disk2.sys1.xyz"
      
      So, the eot_offset was calculated such that an extra 48 bytes i.e.  the
      size of the ibft_header which has already been accounted was subtracted
      twice.
      
      This was not evident with longer iqn names because they would overshoot
      the total ibft length more than 48 bytes and thus would escape the bug.

      rtc_time_to_tm: fix signed/unsigned arithmetic · 73442daf
      Jan Altenberg authored
      commit 945185a6 ("rtc: rtc_time_to_tm: use
      unsigned arithmetic") changed the some types in rtc_time_to_tm() to
      unsigned:
      
       void rtc_time_to_tm(unsigned long time, struct rtc_time *tm)
       {
      -       register int days, month, year;
      +       unsigned int days, month, year;
      
      This doesn't work for all cases, because days is checked for < 0 later
      on:
      
      if (days < 0) {
      	year -= 1;
      	days += 365 + LEAP_YEAR(year);
      }
      
      I think the correct fix would be to keep days signed and do an appropriate
      cast later on.

      mm: size of quicklists shouldn't be proportional to the number of CPUs · b9541852
      KOSAKI Motohiro authored
      Quicklists store pages for each CPU as caches.  (Each CPU can cache
      node_free_pages/16 pages)
      
      It is used for page table cache.  exit() will increase the cache size,
      while fork() consumes it.
      
      So for example if an apache-style application runs (one parent and many
      child model), one CPU process will fork() while another CPU will process
      the middleware work and exit().
      
      At that time, the CPU on which the parent runs doesn't have page table
      cache at all.  Others (on which children runs) have maximum caches.
      
      	QList_max = (#ofCPUs - 1) x Free / 16
      	=> QList_max / (Free + QList_max) = (#ofCPUs - 1) / (16 + #ofCPUs - 1)
      
      So, How much quicklist memory is used in the maximum case?
      
      This is proposional to # of CPUs because the limit of per cpu quicklist
      cache doesn't see the number of cpus.
      
      Above calculation mean
      
      	 Number of CPUs per node            2    4    8   16
      	 ==============================  ====================
      	 QList_max / (Free + QList_max)   5.8%  16%  30%  48%
      
      Wow! Quicklist can spend about 50% memory at worst case.

      ----------------------------------------
      
      When above program which does task migration runs, my 8GB box spends
      800MB of memory for quicklist.  This is not memory leak but doesn't seem
      good.
      
      % cat /proc/meminfo
      
      MemTotal:        7701568 kB
      MemFree:         4724672 kB
      (snip)
      Quicklists:       844800 kB
      
      because
      
      - My machine spec is
      	number of numa node: 2
      	number of cpus:      8 (4CPU x2 node)
              total mem:           8GB (4GB x2 node)
              free mem:            about 5GB
      
      - Then, 4.7GB x 16% ~= 880MB.
        So, Quicklist can use 800MB.
      
      So, if following spec machine run that program
      
         CPUs: 64 (8cpu x 8node)
         Mem:  1TB (128GB x8node)
      
      Then, quicklist can waste 300GB (= 1TB x 30%).  It is too large.
      
      So, I don't like cache policies which is proportional to # of cpus.
      
      My patch changes the number of caches
      from:
         per-cpu-cache-amount = memory_on_node / 16
      to
         per-cpu-cache-amount = memory_on_node / 16 / number_of_cpus_on_node.

      devcgroup: fix race against rmdir() · 36fd71d2
      Li Zefan authored
      During the use of a dev_cgroup, we should guarantee the corresponding
      cgroup won't be deleted (i.e.  via rmdir).  This can be done through
      css_get(&dev_cgroup->css), but here we can just get and use the dev_cgroup
      under rcu_read_lock.
      
      And also remove checking NULL dev_cgroup, it won't be NULL since a task
      always belongs to a cgroup.

      pid_ns: (BUG 11391) change ->child_reaper when init->group_leader exits · 950bbabb
      Oleg Nesterov authored
      We don't change pid_ns->child_reaper when the main thread of the
      subnamespace init exits.  As Robert Rex <robert.rex@exasol.com> pointed
      out this is wrong.
      
      Yes, the re-parenting itself works correctly, but if the reparented task
      exits it needs ->parent->nsproxy->pid_ns in do_notify_parent(), and if the
      main thread is zombie its ->nsproxy was already cleared by
      exit_task_namespaces().
      
      Introduce the new function, find_new_reaper(), which finds the new
      ->parent for the re-parenting and changes ->child_reaper if needed.  Kill
      the now unneeded exit_child_reaper().
      
      Also move the changing of ->child_reaper from zap_pid_ns_processes() to
      find_new_reaper(), this consolidates the games with ->child_reaper and
      makes it stable under tasklist_lock.

      pid_ns: zap_pid_ns_processes: fix the ->child_reaper changing · add0d4df
      Oleg Nesterov authored
      zap_pid_ns_processes() sets pid_ns->child_reaper = NULL, this is wrong.
      
      Yes, we have already killed all tasks in this namespace, and sys_wait4()
      doesn't see any child.  But this doesn't mean ->children list is empty, we
      may have EXIT_DEAD tasks which are not visible to do_wait().  In that case
      the subsequent forget_original_parent() will crash the kernel because it
      will try to re-parent these tasks to the NULL reaper.
      
      Even if there are no childs, it is not good that forget_original_parent()
      uses reaper == NULL.
      
      Change the code to set ->child_reaper = init_pid_ns.child_reaper instead.
      We could use pid_ns->parent->child_reaper as well, I think this does not
      really matter.  These EXIT_DEAD tasks are not visible to the new ->parent
      after re-parenting, they will silently do release_task() eventually.
      
      Note that we must change ->child_reaper, otherwise
      forget_original_parent() will use reaper == father, and in that case we
      will hit the (correct) BUG_ON(!list_empty(&father->children)).

       ...
      
      This bug has been around for a LONG time.  The MM warning is from late
      2005, but the driver merged a year later ...  so I'm puzzled why nobody
      noticed this before now.
      
      The fix involves noting that this buffer shouldn't be DMA-coherent; it's
      just used for normal DMA writes.  So replace it with standard kmalloc()
      buffering and DMA mapping calls.
      
      This is the quickie fix.  A better one would not rely on allocating large
      bounce buffers.  (Note that dma_alloc_coherent could have failed too, but
      that case was ignored...  kmalloc is a bit more likely to fail though.)

      8250: improve workaround for UARTs that don't re-assert THRE correctly · 363f66fe
      Will Newton authored
      Recent changes to tighten the check for UARTs that don't correctly
      re-assert THRE (01c194d9: "serial 8250:
      tighten test for using backup timer") caused problems when such a UART was
      opened for the second time - the bug could only successfully be detected
      at first initialization.  For users of this version of this particular
      UART IP it is fatal.
      
      This patch stores the information about the bug in the bugs field of the
      port structure when the port is first started up so subsequent opens can
      check this bit even if the test for the bug fails.
      
      David Brownell: "My own exposure to this is that the UART on DaVinci
      hardware, which TI allegedly derived from its original 16550 logic, has
      periodically gone from working to unusable with the mainline 8250.c ...
      and back and forth a bunch.  Currently it's "unusable", a regression from
      some previous versions.  With this patch from Will, it's usable."

      was merged into 2.6.27-rc1, but I noticed that this patch is not enough
      to fix the race.
      
      I did fsstress test heavily to 2.6.27-rc1, and found that dio write still
      sometimes got EIO through this test.
      
      The patch above fixed race between freeing buffer(dio) and committing
      transaction(jbd) but I discovered that there is another race, freeing
      buffer(dio) and ext3/4_ordered_writepage.

            	   walk_page_buffers() ->release a bh ref
      
      ext3_ordered_writepage holds bh ref and does unlock_page remaining
      taking a bh ref, so this causes the race and failure of
      try_to_release_page.
      
      To fix this race, I used the approach of falling back to buffered
      writes if try_to_release_page() fails on a page.

      mm: make setup_zone_migrate_reserve() aware of overlapping nodes · 344c790e
      Adam Litke authored
      I have gotten to the root cause of the hugetlb badness I reported back on
      August 15th.  My system has the following memory topology (note the
      overlapping node):
      
                  Node 0 Memory: 0x8000000-0x44000000
                  Node 1 Memory: 0x0-0x8000000 0x44000000-0x80000000
      
      setup_zone_migrate_reserve() scans the address range 0x0-0x8000000 looking
      for a pageblock to move onto the MIGRATE_RESERVE list.  Finding no
      candidates, it happily continues the scan into 0x8000000-0x44000000.  When
      a pageblock is found, the pages are moved to the MIGRATE_RESERVE list on
      the wrong zone.  Oops.
      
      setup_zone_migrate_reserve() should skip pageblocks in overlapping nodes.

      ipv: Re-enable IP when MTU > 68 · 06770843
      Breno Leitao authored
      Re-enable IP when the MTU gets back to a valid size. 
      
      This patch just checks if the in_dev is NULL on a NETDEV_CHANGEMTU event
      and if MTU is valid (bigger than 68), then re-enable in_dev. 
      
      Also a function that checks valid MTU size was created.

      net/xfrm: Use an IS_ERR test rather than a NULL test · 9d7d7402
      Julien Brunel authored
      In case of error, the function xfrm_bundle_create returns an ERR
      pointer, but never returns a NULL pointer. So a NULL test that comes
      after an IS_ERR test should be deleted.
      
      The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
      (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)
      
      // <smpl>
      @match_bad_null_test@
      expression x, E;
      statement S1,S2;
      @@
      x =  xfrm_bundle_create(...)
      ... when != x = E
      *  if (x != NULL) 
      S1 else S2
      // </smpl>
