      mm, oom: fix badness score underflow · 1e11ad8d
      David Rientjes authored
      If the privileges given to root threads (3% of allowable memory) or a
      negative value of /proc/pid/oom_score_adj happen to exceed the amount of
      rss of a thread, its badness score overflows as a result of commit
      a7f638f9 ("mm, oom: normalize oom scores to oom_score_adj scale only
      for userspace").
      
      Fix this by making the type signed and return 1, meaning the thread is
      still eligible for kill, if the value is negative.

      Linus Torvalds authored
      This reverts commit 9e612a00.
      
      It incorrectly finds VGA connectors where none are attached, apparently
      not noticing that nothing replied to the EDID queries, and happily using
      the default EDID modes that have nothing to do with actual hardware.
      
      That in turn then causes X to fall down to the lowest common
      denominator, which is usually the default 1024x768 mode that is in the
      default EDID and pretty much anything supports).
      
      I'd suggest that if not relying on the HDP pin, the code should at least
      check whether it gets valid EDID data back, rather than just assume
      there's something on the VGA connector.

      Revert "vfs: stop d_splice_alias creating directory aliases" · 32ba9c3f
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This reverts commit 7732a557 (and commit
      3f50fff4, which was a follow-up
      cleanup).
      
      We're chasing an elusive bug that Dave Jones can apparently reproduce
      using his system call fuzzer tool, and that looks like some kind of
      locking ordering problem on the directory i_mutex chain.  Our i_mutex
      locking is rather complex, and depends on the topological ordering of
      the directories, which is why we have been very wary of splicing
      directory entries around.
      
      Of course, we really don't want to ever see aliased unconnected
      directories anyway, so none of this should ever happen, but this revert
      aims to basically get us back to a known older state.
      
      Bruce points to some of the previous discussion at
      
             http://marc.info/?i=<20110310105821.GE22723@ZenIV.linux.org.uk>
      
      and in particular a long post from Neil:
      
             http://marc.info/?i=<20110311150749.2fa2be66@notabene.brown>
      
      It should be noted that it's possible that Dave's problems come from
      other changes altohgether, including possibly just the fact that Dave
      constantly is teachning his fuzzer new tricks.  So what appears to be a
      new bug could in fact be an old one that just gets newly triggered, but
      reverting these patches as "still under heavy discussion" is the right
      thing regardless.

      x86/nmi: Fix section mismatch warnings on 32-bit · eeaaa96a
      Don Zickus authored
      It was reported that compiling for 32-bit caused a bunch of
      section mismatch warnings:
      
       VDSOSYM arch/x86/vdso/vdso32-syms.lds
        LD      arch/x86/vdso/built-in.o

       WARNING: arch/x86/built-in.o(.data+0x5af0): Section mismatch in
       reference from the variable test_nmi_ipi_callback_na.10451 to
       the function .init.text:test_nmi_ipi_callback() [...]
      
       WARNING: arch/x86/built-in.o(.data+0x5b04): Section mismatch in
       reference from the variable nmi_unk_cb_na.10399 to the function
       .init.text:nmi_unk_cb() The variable nmi_unk_cb_na.10399
       references the function __init nmi_unk_cb() [...]
      
      Both of these are attributed to the internal representation of
      the nmiaction struct created during register_nmi_handler.  The
      reason for this is that those structs are not defined in the
      init section whereas the rest of the code in nmi_selftest.c is.
      
      To resolve this, I created a new #define,
      register_nmi_handler_initonly, that tags the struct as
      __initdata to resolve the mismatch.  This #define should only be
      used in rare situations where the register/unregister is called
      during init of the kernel.
      
      Big thanks to Jan Beulich for decoding this for me as I didn't
      have a clue what was going on.

      powerpc: Fix kernel panic during kernel module load · 3c752965
      Steffen Rumler authored
      This fixes a problem which can causes kernel oopses while loading
      a kernel module.
      
      According to the PowerPC EABI specification, GPR r11 is assigned
      the dedicated function to point to the previous stack frame.
      In the powerpc-specific kernel module loader, do_plt_call()
      (in arch/powerpc/kernel/module_32.c), GPR r11 is also used
      to generate trampoline code.
      
      This combination crashes the kernel, in the case where the compiler
      chooses to use a helper function for saving GPRs on entry, and the
      module loader has placed the .init.text section far away from the
      .text section, meaning that it has to generate a trampoline for
      functions in the .init.text section to call the GPR save helper.
      Because the trampoline trashes r11, references to the stack frame
      using r11 can cause an oops.
      
      The fix just uses GPR r12 instead of GPR r11 for generating the
      trampoline code.  According to the statements from Freescale, this is
      safe from an EABI perspective.
      
      I've tested the fix for kernel 2.6.33 on MPC8541.

      x86/uv: Fix UV2 BAU legacy mode · d5d2d2ee
      Cliff Wickman authored
      The SGI Altix UV2 BAU (Broadcast Assist Unit) as used for
      tlb-shootdown (selective broadcast mode) always uses UV2
      broadcast descriptor format. There is no need to clear the
      'legacy' (UV1) mode, because the hardware always uses UV2 mode
      for selective broadcast.
      
      But the BIOS uses general broadcast and legacy mode, and the
      hardware pays attention to the legacy mode bit for general
      broadcast. So the kernel must not clear that mode bit.
