This works around the too fast timer seen on some ATI boards. I don't feel confident enough about it yet to enable it by default, but give users the option. Patch and debugging from Christopher Allen Wing <wingc@engin.umich.edu>, with minor tweaks (renamed the option and documented it) Signed-off-by:

The test case at http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/posixtest/posixtestsuite/conforman ce/interfaces/clock_nanosleep/1-5.c fails if it runs as a 32bit process on x86_86 machines. The root cause is the sub 32bit process fails to restart the syscall after it is interrupted by a signal. The syscall number of sys_restart_syscall in table sys_call_table is __NR_restart_syscall (219) while it's __NR_ia32_restart_syscall (0) in ia32_sys_call_table. When regs->rax==(unsigned long)-ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK, function do_signal doesn't distinguish if the process is 64bit or 32bit, and always sets restart syscall number as __NR_restart_syscall (219).

We need to hold the vmlist_lock while doing change_page_attr, otherwise we could reset someone else's mapping. Requires previous patch to add __remove_vm_area Signed-off-by:

Andi Kleen authored
Caused oopses again. Also fix potential mismatch in checking if change_page_attr was needed. To do it without races I needed to change mm/vmalloc.c to export a __remove_vm_area that does not take vmlist lock. Noticed by Terence Ripperda and based on a patch of his. Signed-off-by:

There was a "off by one quad word" error in there. I don't think it is exploitable because it will only store into a unused area, but better to plug it. Found and fixed by John Blackwood Signed-off-by:

This patch removes the entwining of cpusets and hotplug code in the "No more Mr. Nice Guy" case of sched.c move_task_off_dead_cpu(). Since the hotplug code is holding a spinlock at this point, we cannot take the cpuset semaphore, cpuset_sem, as would seem to be required either to update the tasks cpuset, or to scan up the nested cpuset chain, looking for the nearest cpuset ancestor that still has some CPUs that are online. So we just punt and blast the tasks cpus_allowed with all bits allowed. This reverts these lines of code to what they were before the cpuset patch. And it updates the cpuset Doc file, to match. The one known alternative to this that seems to work came from Dinakar Guniguntala, and required the hotplug code to take the cpuset_sem semaphore much earlier in its processing. So far as we know, the increased locking entanglement between cpusets and hot plug of this alternative approach is not worth doing in this case. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixed CONFIG_TASK_SIZE handling on 44x. Currently head_44x.S hardcodes 0x80000000, which breaks if user chooses to change TASK_SIZE (e.g. for 3G user-space). Tested on Ocotea in 3G/1G configuration. Signed-off-by:

Byte-swapping of the port and IP address passed in to the multicast driver by the user used to happen in different places, which was a bug in itself. The port also was swapped before being printk-ed, which led to a misleading message. This patch moves the port swapping to the same place as the IP address swapping. It also cleans up the error paths of mcast_open. Signed-off-by:

Some changes that I sent in didn't make 2.6.12-rc4 for some reason. This adds them back. We have an x86_64 definition of TOP_ADDR a reimplementation of the x86_64 csum_partial_copy_from_user some syntax fixes in arch/um/kernel/ptrace.c removal of a CFLAGS definition in the x86_64 Makefile some include changes in the x86_64 ptrace.c and user-offsets.h a syntax fix in elf-x86_64.h Also moved an include in the i386 and x86_64 Makefiles to make the symlinks work, and some small fixes from Al Viro.

If you tried to open a packet device first in read-only mode and then a second time in read-write mode, the second open succeeded even though the device was not correctly set up for writing. If you then tried to write data to the device, the writes would fail with I/O errors. This patch prevents that problem by making the second open fail with -EBUSY. Signed-off-by:

The recent change to add a timeout to strbuf flushing had a negative performance impact. The udelay()'s are too long, and they were done in the wrong order wrt. the register read checks. Fix both, and things are happy again. There are more possible improvements in this area. In fact, PCI streaming buffer flushing seems to be part of the bottleneck in network receive performance on my SunBlade1000 box. Signed-off-by:David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This fixes an uninitialized variable warning in arch/ppc/kernel/setup.c, and this time gcc is actually right, there is a path that could result in offset being uninitialized. Zero is a sane default in this instance. Signed-off-by:

Recently the __copy_tofrom_user routine was modified to avoid doing prefetches past the end of the source array. However, in doing so we introduced a bug in that it now returns the wrong value for the number of bytes not copied when a fault is encountered. This fixes it to return the correct number.

On ppc32, the platform code can supply a "progress" function that is used to show progress through the boot. These functions are usually in an init section and so can't be called after the init pages are freed. Now that the cpu bringup code can be called after the system is booted (for hotplug cpu) we can get the situation where the progress function can be called after boot. The simple fix is to set the progress function pointer to NULL when the init pages are freed, and that is what this patch does (note that all callers already check whether the function pointer is NULL before trying to call it).

As noted by Chris Wright, we need to do the full range of tests regardless of whether MAP_FIXED is set or not, so re-organize get_unmapped_area() slightly to do the sanity checks unconditionally.

In netlink_broadcast() we're sending shared skb's to netlink listeners when possible (saves some copying). This is OK, since we hold the only other reference to the skb. However, this implies that we must drop our reference on the skb, before allowing a receiving socket to disappear. Otherwise, the socket buffer accounting is disrupted. Signed-off-by:

Cloned packets don't need the orphan call. Signed-off-by:
-
Tommy S. Christensen authored
This bug causes: assertion (!atomic_read(&sk->sk_rmem_alloc)) failed at net/netlink/af_netlink.c (122) What's happening is that: 1) The skb is sent to socket 1. 2) Someone does a recvmsg on socket 1 and drops the ref on the skb. Note that the rmalloc is not returned at this point since the skb is still referenced. 3) The same skb is now sent to socket 2. This version of the fix resurrects the skb_orphan call that was moved out, last time we had 'shared-skb troubles'. It is practically a no-op in the common case, but still prevents the possible race with recvmsg. Signed-off-by:

The variable alg_key_len is in bits and not bytes. The function attach_one_algo is currently using it as if it were in bytes. This causes it to read memory which may not be there. Signed-off-by:
