      w1: fix for loop in w1_f29_remove_slave() · 58299449
      Dan Carpenter authored 
      The for loop was looking for i <= 0 instead of i >= 0 so this function
never did anything.  Also we started with i = NB_SYSFS_BIN_FILES instead
of "NB_SYSFS_BIN_FILES - 1" which is an off by one bug.

      alpha: unbreak osf_setsysinfo(SSI_NVPAIRS, [SSIN_UACPROC, UAC_SIGBUS]) · 2df7a7d1
      Sergei Trofimovich authored 
      The bug was accidentally found by the following program:

    #include <asm/sysinfo.h>
    #include <asm/unistd.h>
    #include <sys/syscall.h>
    static int setsysinfo(unsigned long op, void *buffer, unsigned long size,
                          int *start, void *arg, unsigned long flag) {
        return syscall(__NR_osf_setsysinfo, op, buffer, size, start, arg, flag);
    }

    int main(int argc, char **argv) {
        short x[10];
        unsigned int buf[2] = { SSIN_UACPROC, UAC_SIGBUS, };
        setsysinfo(SSI_NVPAIRS, buf, 1, 0, 0, 0);

        int  *y = (int*) (x+1);
        *y = 0;
        return 0;
    }

The program shoud fail on SIGBUS, but didn't.

The patch is a second part of userspace flag fix (commit 745dd240
"Alpha: Rearrange thread info flags fixing two regressions").

Deleted outdated out-of-sync 'UAC_SHIFT' (the cause of bug) in favour of
'ALPHA_UAC_SHIFT'.

      x86-32: Fix boot with CONFIG_X86_INVD_BUG · b4ca46e4
      Andy Lutomirski authored 
      entry_32.S contained a hardcoded alternative instruction entry, and the
format changed in commit 59e97e4d ("x86: Make alternative
instruction pointers relative").

Replace the hardcoded entry with the altinstruction_entry macro.  This
fixes the 32-bit boot with CONFIG_X86_INVD_BUG=y.

      mtrr: fix UP breakage caused during switch to stop_machine · cbbfa38f
      Tejun Heo authored 
      While removing custom rendezvous code and switching to stop_machine,
commit 192d8857 ("x86, mtrr: use stop_machine APIs for doing MTRR
rendezvous") completely dropped mtrr setting code on !CONFIG_SMP
breaking MTRR settting on UP.

Fix it by removing the incorrect CONFIG_SMP.

      lockdep: Add helper function for dir vs file i_mutex annotation · e096d0c7
      Josh Boyer authored 
      Purely in-memory filesystems do not use the inode hash as the dcache
tells us if an entry already exists.  As a result, they do not call
unlock_new_inode, and thus directory inodes do not get put into a
different lockdep class for i_sem.

We need the different lockdep classes, because the locking order for
i_mutex is different for directory inodes and regular inodes.  Directory
inodes can do "readdir()", which takes i_mutex *before* possibly taking
mm->mmap_sem (due to a page fault while copying the directory entry to
user space).

In contrast, regular inodes can be mmap'ed, which takes mm->mmap_sem
before accessing i_mutex.

The two cases can never happen for the same inode, so no real deadlock
can occur, but without the different lockdep classes, lockdep cannot
understand that.  As a result, if CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is set, this
can lead to false positives from lockdep like below:

    find/645 is trying to acquire lock:
     (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff81109514>] might_fault+0x5c/0xac

    but task is already holding lock:
     (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#15){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81149f34>]
    vfs_readdir+0x5b/0xb4

    which lock already depends on the new lock.

    the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

    -> #1 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#15){+.+.+.}:
          [<ffffffff8108ac26>] lock_acquire+0xbf/0x103
          [<ffffffff814db822>] __mutex_lock_common+0x4c/0x361
          [<ffffffff814dbc46>] mutex_lock_nested+0x40/0x45
          [<ffffffff811daa87>] hugetlbfs_file_mmap+0x82/0x110
          [<ffffffff81111557>] mmap_region+0x258/0x432
          [<ffffffff811119dd>] do_mmap_pgoff+0x2ac/0x306
          [<ffffffff81111b4f>] sys_mmap_pgoff+0x118/0x16a
          [<ffffffff8100c858>] sys_mmap+0x22/0x24
          [<ffffffff814e3ec2>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

    -> #0 (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}:
          [<ffffffff8108a4bc>] __lock_acquire+0xa1a/0xcf7
          [<ffffffff8108ac26>] lock_acquire+0xbf/0x103
          [<ffffffff81109541>] might_fault+0x89/0xac
          [<ffffffff81149cff>] filldir+0x6f/0xc7
          [<ffffffff811586ea>] dcache_readdir+0x67/0x205
          [<ffffffff81149f54>] vfs_readdir+0x7b/0xb4
          [<ffffffff8114a073>] sys_getdents+0x7e/0xd1
          [<ffffffff814e3ec2>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

This patch moves the directory vs file lockdep annotation into a helper
function that can be called by in-memory filesystems and has hugetlbfs
call it.

      Add a personality to report 2.6.x version numbers · be27425d
      Andi Kleen authored 
      I ran into a couple of programs which broke with the new Linux 3.0
version.  Some of those were binary only.  I tried to use LD_PRELOAD to
work around it, but it was quite difficult and in one case impossible
because of a mix of 32bit and 64bit executables.

For example, all kind of management software from HP doesnt work, unless
we pretend to run a 2.6 kernel.

  $ uname -a
  Linux svivoipvnx001 3.0.0-08107-g97cd98f #1062 SMP Fri Aug 12 18:11:45 CEST 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

  $ hpacucli ctrl all show

  Error: No controllers detected.

  $ rpm -qf /usr/sbin/hpacucli
  hpacucli-8.75-12.0

Another notable case is that Python now reports "linux3" from
sys.platform(); which in turn can break things that were checking
sys.platform() == "linux2":

  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664564

It seems pretty clear to me though it's a bug in the apps that are using
'==' instead of .startswith(), but this allows us to unbreak broken
programs.

This patch adds a UNAME26 personality that makes the kernel report a
2.6.40+x version number instead.  The x is the x in 3.x.

I know this is somewhat ugly, but I didn't find a better workaround, and
compatibility to existing programs is important.

Some programs also read /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease.  This can be worked
around in user space with mount --bind (and a mount namespace)

To use:

  wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/ak/uname26/uname26.c
  gcc -o uname26 uname26.c
  ./uname26 program
