      Yeah, this is extremely likely to be the source of the warning.
      
      The warning should be harmless, however.

      It would be interesting to see where the int3 comes from.  Too bad,
      lockdep doesn't provide the register dump. The stacktrace also doesn't
      go further than the int3(), I wonder if this int3 came from userspace?
      The ltrace readme says "software breakpoints, like gdb", so I guess
      this is the case. Yep, seems like it.
      
      This looks relevant:

      I'm attaching a similarly-looking patch for this case (DO_VM86_ERROR),
      though I suspect it might be missing for the other cases
      (DO_ERROR/DO_ERROR_INFO) as well.

      Fix an incompatible pointer type warning on x86_64 compilations.
      early_memtest() is passing a u64* to find_e820_area_size() which is expecting
      an unsigned long.  Change t_start and t_size to unsigned long as those are
      also 64-bit types on x88_64.

      Joy - I so love entry.S
      
      Best I can make of it:
      
      syscall_exit_work
        resume_userspace
          DISABLE_INTERRUPTS
          (no TRACE_IRQS_OFF)
            work_pending
              work_notifysig
                do_notify_resume()
                  do_signal()
                    get_signal_to_deliver()
                      try_to_freeze()
                        refrigerator()
                          task_lock() -> check_flags() -> BANG
      
      The normal path is:
      
      syscall_exit_work
        resume_userspace
          DISABLE_INTERRUPTS
          restore_all
            TRACE_IRQS_IRET
            iret
      
      No idea why that would not warn..

      x86: fix endless page faults in mount_block_root for Linux 2.6 · b29c701d
      Henry Nestler authored
      Page faults in kernel address space between PAGE_OFFSET up to
      VMALLOC_START should not try to map as vmalloc.
      
      Fix rarely endless page faults inside mount_block_root for root
      filesystem at boot time.
      
      All 32bit kernels up to 2.6.25 can fail into this hole.
      I can not present this under native linux kernel. I see, that the 64bit
      has fixed the problem. I copied the same lines into 32bit part.
      
      Recorded debugs are from coLinux kernel 2.6.22.18 (virtualisation):
      http://www.henrynestler.com/colinux/testing/pfn-check-0.7.3/20080410-antinx/bug16-recursive-page-fault-endless.txt
      The physicaly memory was trimmed down to 192MB to better catch the bug.
      More memory gets the bug more rarely.
      
      Details, how every x86 32bit system can fail:
      
      Start from "mount_block_root",
      http://lxr.linux.no/linux/init/do_mounts.c#L297
      There the variable "fs_names" got one memory page with 4096 bytes.
      Variable "p" walks through the existing file system types. The first
      string is no problem.
      But, with the second loop in mount_block_root the offset of "p" is not
      at beginning of page, the offset is for example +9, if "reiserfs" is the
      first in list.
      Than calls do_mount_root, and lands in sys_mount.
      Remember: Variable "type_page" contains now "fs_type+9" and not contains
      a full page.
      The sys_mount copies 4096 bytes with function "exact_copy_from_user()":
      http://lxr.linux.no/linux/fs/namespace.c#L1540
      
      Mostly exist pages after the buffer "fs_names+4096+9" and the page fault
      handler was not called. No problem.
      
      In the case, if the page after "fs_names+4096" is not mapped, the page
      fault handler was called from http://lxr.linux.no/linux/fs/namespace.c#L1320
      
      The do_page_fault gots an address 0xc03b4000.
      It's kernel address, address >= TASK_SIZE, but not from vmalloc! It's
      from "__getname()" alias "kmem_cache_alloc".
      The "error_code" is 0. "vmalloc_fault" will be call:
      http://lxr.linux.no/linux/arch/i386/mm/fault.c#L332
      
      "vmalloc_fault" tryed to find the physical page for a non existing
      virtual memory area. The macro "pte_present" in vmalloc_fault()
      got a next page fault for 0xc0000ed0 at:
      http://lxr.linux.no/linux/arch/i386/mm/fault.c#L282
      
      No PTE exist for such virtual address. The page fault handler was trying

      As we may run relay_reserve from interrupt context we must always disable
      IRQs.  This is because a call to relay_reserve may expose previously written
      data to use space.

      nommu: Correct kobjsize() page validity checks. · 5a1603be
      Paul Mundt authored
      This implements a few changes on top of the recent kobjsize() refactoring
      introduced by commit 6cfd53fc.
      
      As Christoph points out:
      
      	virt_to_head_page cannot return NULL. virt_to_page also
      	does not return NULL. pfn_valid() needs to be used to
      	figure out if a page is valid.  Otherwise the page struct
      	reference that was returned may have PageReserved() set
      	to indicate that it is not a valid page.
      
      As discussed further in the thread, virt_addr_valid() is the preferable
      way to validate the object pointer in this case. In addition to fixing
      up the reserved page case, it also has the benefit of encapsulating the
      hack introduced by commit 4016a139 on
      the impacted platforms, allowing us to get rid of the extra checking in
      kobjsize() for the platforms that don't perform this type of bizarre
      memory_end abuse (every nommu platform that isn't blackfin). If blackfin
      decides to get in line with every other platform and use PageReserved
      for the DMA pages in question, kobjsize() will also continue to work
      fine.
      
      It also turns out that compound_order() will give us back 0-order for
      non-head pages, so we can get rid of the PageCompound check and just
      use compound_order() directly. Clean that up while we're at it.

      kbuild: ignore powerpc specific symbols in modpost · 4d7365d6
      Sam Ravnborg authored
      Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> wrote:
      We have a case in powerpc in which we want to link some library
      routines with all module objects.  The routines are intended for
      handling out-of-line function call register save/restore so having
      them as EXPORT_SYMBOL() is counter productive (we do also need to
      link the same "library" code into the kernel).
      
      Without this patch a powerpc build would error out and fail
      to build modules with the added register save/restore module.
      
      There were two obvious solutions:
      1) To link the .o file before the modpost stage
      2) To ignore the symbols in modpost
      
      Option 1) was ruled out because we do not have any separate
      linking stage for single file modules.
      
      This patch implements option 2 - and do so only for powerpc.
      
      The symbols we ignore are all undefined symbols named:
      _restgpr_*, _savegpr_*, _rest32gpr_*, _save32gpr_*

      sched: 64-bit: fix arithmetics overflow · 7a232e03
      Lai Jiangshan authored
      (overflow means weight >= 2^32 here, because inv_weigh = 2^32/weight)
      
      A weight of a cfs_rq is the sum of weights of which entities
      are queued on this cfs_rq, so it will overflow when there are
      too many entities.
      
      Although, overflow occurs very rarely, but it break fairness when
      it occurs. 64-bits systems have more memory than 32-bit systems
      and 64-bit systems can create more process usually, so overflow may
      occur more frequently.
      
      This patch guarantees fairness when overflow happens on 64-bit systems.
      Thanks to the optimization of compiler, it changes nothing on 32-bit.

      sched: fair group: fix overflow(was: fix divide by zero) · 2e084786
      Lai Jiangshan authored
      I found a bug which can be reproduced by this way:(linux-2.6.26-rc5, x86-64)
      (use 2^32, 2^33, ...., 2^63 as shares value)
      
      # mkdir /dev/cpuctl
      # mount -t cgroup -o cpu cpuctl /dev/cpuctl
      # cd /dev/cpuctl
      # mkdir sub
      # echo 0x8000000000000000 > sub/cpu.shares
      # echo $$ > sub/tasks
      oops here! divide by zero.
      
      This is because do_div() expects the 2th parameter to be 32 bits,
      but unsigned long is 64 bits in x86_64.
      
      Peter Zijstra pointed it out that the sane thing to do is limit the
      shares value to something smaller instead of using an even more
      expensive divide.
      
      Also, I found another bug about "the shares value is too large":
      
      pid1 and pid2 are set affinity to cpu#0
      pid1 is attached to cg1 and pid2 is attached to cg2
      
      if cg1/cpu.shares = 1024 cg2/cpu.shares = 2000000000
      then pid2 got 100% usage of cpu, and pid1 0%
      
      if cg1/cpu.shares = 1024 cg2/cpu.shares = 20000000000
      then pid2 got 0% usage of cpu, and pid1 100%
      
      And a weight of a cfs_rq is the sum of weights of which entities
      are queued on this cfs_rq, so the shares value should be limited
      to a smaller value.
      
      I think that (1UL << 18) is a good limited value:
      
      1) it's not too large, we can create a lot of group before overflow
      2) it's several times the weight value for nice=-19 (not too small)

      common implementation of iterative div/mod · f595ec96
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge authored
      We have a few instances of the open-coded iterative div/mod loop, used
      when we don't expcet the dividend to be much bigger than the divisor.
      Unfortunately modern gcc's have the tendency to strength "reduce" this
      into a full mod operation, which isn't necessarily any faster, and
      even if it were, doesn't exist if gcc implements it in libgcc.
      
      The workaround is to put a dummy asm statement in the loop to prevent
      gcc from performing the transformation.
      
      This patch creates a single implementation of this loop, and uses it
      to replace the open-coded versions I know about.

      USB: don't use reset-resume if drivers don't support it · 5340ba82
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This patch tries to identify which devices are able to accept
      reset-resume handling, by checking that there is at least one
      interface driver bound and that all of the drivers have a reset_resume
      method defined.  If these conditions don't hold then during resume
      processing, the device is logicall disconnected.
      
      This is only a temporary fix.  Later on we will explicitly unbind
      drivers that can't handle reset-resumes.
