do_device_not_available() is the handler for #NM and it declares that it takes a unsigned long and calls math_emu(), which takes a long argument and surprisingly expects the stack frame starting at the zero argument would match struct math_emu_info, which isn't true regardless of configuration in the current code. This patch makes do_device_not_available() take struct pt_regs like other exception handlers and initialize struct math_emu_info with pointer to it and pass pointer to the math_emu_info to math_emulate() like normal C functions do. This way, unless gcc makes a copy of struct pt_regs in do_device_not_available(), the register frame is correctly accessed regardless of kernel configuration or compiler used. This doesn't fix all math_emu problems but it at least gets it somewhat working. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Commit 6194ba6f ("x86: don't special-case pmd allocations as much") made changes to the way we handle pmd allocations, and while doing that it dropped a call to paravirt_release_pd on the pgd page from the pgd_dtor code path. As a result of this missing release, the hypervisor is now unaware of the pgd page being freed, and as a result it ends up tracking this page as a page table page. After this the guest may start using the same page for other purposes, and depending on what use the page is put to, it may result in various performance and/or functional issues ( hangs, reboots). Since this release is only required for VMI, I now release the pgd page from the (vmi)_pgd_free hook.

For Intel 7400 series CPUs, the recommendation is to use a clflush on the monitored address just before monitor and mwait pair [1]. This clflush makes sure that there are no false wakeups from mwait when the monitored address was recently written to.

For historical reason, this driver used its own saving/restoring of the PCI config space, and used the state of it on resume as an indication as to whether it needed to re-POST the chip or not. This methods breaks with the later core changes since the core will have restored things for us. This patch fixes it by removing that custom code, using standard core methods to save/restore state, and testing for the need to re-POST by comparing the content of a few key PLL registers.

This fixes aty128fb to properly save the PCI config space -before- it potentially switches the PM state of the chip. This avoids a warning with the new PM core and is the right thing to do anyway. I also replaced the hand-coded switch to D2 with a call to the genericc pci_set_power_state() and removed the code that switches it back to D0 since the generic code is doing that for us nowadays.

I also slightly cleaned up the code that checks whether we are running on a PowerMac to do a runtime check instead of a compile check only, and replaced a deprecated number with the proper symbolic constant.

During early boot, ACPI RSDT/XSDT table entries are gathered into the 'initial_tables[]' array. This array is currently statically defined (see ./drivers/acpi/tables.c). When there are more table entries than can be held in the 'initial_tables[]' array, the message "Truncating N table entries!" is output. As currently implemented, this message will always erroneously calculate N as 0. This patch fixes the calculation that determines how many table entries will be missing (truncated). This modification may be used under either the GPL or the BSD-style license used for Intel ACPI CA code.

Bit 11 in intel PDC definitions is meant for OS capability to handle hardware coordination of P-states. In Linux we have always supported hwardware coordination of P-states. Just let the BIOSes know that we support it, by setting this bit. Some BIOSes use this bit to choose between hardware or software coordination and without this change below, BIOSes switch to software coordination, which is not very optimal in terms of power consumption and extra wakeups from idle.

Some devices trigger a DEVICE_CHECK on every evalutation of _STA. This can also be seen in commit 8b59560a (ACPI: dock: avoid check _STA method). If an undock is processed, the dock driver sends a uevent and userspace might read the show_docked property in sysfs. This causes an evaluation of _STA of the particular device which causes the dock driver to immediately dock again. In any case, evaluation of _STA (show_docked) does not necessarily mean that we are docked, so check with the internal device structure. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12360Signed-off-by: Holger Macht <hmacht@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

The addition of filename encryption caused a regression in unencrypted filename symlink support. ecryptfs_copy_filename() is used when dealing with unencrypted filenames and it reported that the new, copied filename was a character longer than it should have been. This caused the return value of readlink() to count the NULL byte of the symlink target. Most applications don't care about the extra NULL byte, but a version control system (bzr) helped in discovering the bug.

-
Roland McGrath authored
One of my past fixes to this code introduced a different new bug. When using 32-bit "int $0x80" entry for a bogus syscall number, the return value is not correctly set to -ENOSYS. This only happens when neither syscall-audit nor syscall tracing is enabled (i.e., never seen if auditd ever started). Test program: /* gcc -o int80-badsys -m32 -g int80-badsys.c Run on x86-64 kernel. Note to reproduce the bug you need auditd never to have started. */ #include <errno.h> #include <stdio.h> int main (void) { long res; asm ("int $0x80" : "=a" (res) : "0" (99999)); printf ("bad syscall returns %ld\n", res); return res != -ENOSYS; } The fix makes the int $0x80 path match the sysenter and syscall paths.

-
Roland McGrath authored
The elf_core_dump() code does its work with set_fs(KERNEL_DS) in force, so vma_dump_size() needs to switch back with set_fs(USER_DS) to safely use get_user() for a normal user-space address. Checking for VM_READ optimizes out the case where get_user() would fail anyway. The vm_file check here was already superfluous given the control flow earlier in the function, so that is a cleanup/optimization unrelated to other changes but an obvious and trivial one.
