The inline assembly in drivers/watchdog/hpwdt.c was incredibly broken, and included all the function prologue and epilogue stuff, even though it was itself then inside a C function where the compiler would add its own prologue and epilogue on top of it all. This then just _happened_ to work if you had exactly the right compiler version and exactly the right compiler flags, so that gcc just happened to not create any prologue at all (the gcc-generated epilogue wouldn't matter, since it would never be reached). But the more proper way to fix it is to simply not do this. Move the inline asm to the top level, with no surrounding function at all (the better alternative would be to remove the prologue and make it actually use proper description of the arguments to the inline asm, but that's a bigger change than the one I'm willing to make right now).

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki and Oleg Nesterov point out that since the commit 557ed1fa ("remove ZERO_PAGE") removed the ZERO_PAGE from the VM mappings, any users of get_user_pages() will generally now populate the VM with real empty pages needlessly. We used to get the ZERO_PAGE when we did the "handle_mm_fault()", but since fault handling no longer uses ZERO_PAGE for new anonymous pages, we now need to handle that special case in follow_page() instead. In particular, the removal of ZERO_PAGE effectively removed the core file writing optimization where we would skip writing pages that had not been populated at all, and increased memory pressure a lot by allocating all those useless newly zeroed pages. This reinstates the optimization by making the unmapped PTE case the same as for a non-existent page table, which already did this correctly. While at it, this also fixes the XIP case for follow_page(), where the caller could not differentiate between the case of a page that simply could not be used (because it had no "struct page" associated with it) and a page that just wasn't mapped. We do that by simply returning an error pointer for pages that could not be turned into a "struct page *". The error is arbitrarily picked to be EFAULT, since that was what get_user_pages() already used for the equivalent IO-mapped page case. [ Also removed an impossible test for pte_offset_map_lock() failing: that's not how that function works ] Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Acked-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This patch uses the BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE for crashkernel reservation also for i386 and prints a error message on failure. The patch is still for 2.6.26 since it is only bug fixing.

Booting 2.6.26-rc6 on my 486 DX/4 fails with a "BUG: Int 6" (invalid opcode) and a kernel halt immediately after the kernel has been uncompressed. The BUG shows EIP pointing to an rdtsc instruction in native_read_tsc(), invoked from native_sched_clock(). (This error occurs so early that not even the serial console can capture it.) A bisection showed that this bug first occurs in 2.6.26-rc3-git7, via commit 9ccc906c: >x86: distangle user disabled TSC from unstable > >tsc_enabled is set to 0 from the command line switch "notsc" and from >the mark_tsc_unstable code. Seperate those functionalities and replace >tsc_enable with tsc_disable. This makes also the native_sched_clock() >decision when to use TSC understandable. > >Preparatory patch to solve the sched_clock() issue on 32 bit. > >Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> The core reason for this bug is that native_sched_clock() gets called before tsc_init(). Before the commit above, tsc_32.c used a "tsc_enabled" variable which defaulted to 0 == disabled, and which only got enabled late in tsc_init(). Thus early calls to native_sched_clock() would skip the TSC and use jiffies instead. After the commit above, tsc_32.c uses a "tsc_disabled" variable which defaults to 0, meaning that the TSC is Ok to use. Early calls to native_sched_clock() now erroneously try to use the TSC on !cpu_has_tsc processors, leading to invalid opcode exceptions. My proposed fix is to initialise tsc_disabled to a "soft disabled" state distinct from the hard disabled state set up by the "notsc" kernel option. This fixes the native_sched_clock() problem. It also allows tsc_init() to be simplified: instead of setting tsc_disabled = 1 on every error return, we just set tsc_disabled = 0 once when all checks have succeeded. I've verified that this lets my 486 boot again. I've also verified that a Core2 machine still uses the TSC as clocksource after the patch.

Somehow (as described below) TS_USEDFPU is set but the fpu is not allocated or freed. Another possible FPU pre-emption issue with the sleazy FPU optimization which was benign before but not so anymore, with the dynamic FPU allocation patch. New task is getting exec'd and it is prempted at the below point. flush_thread() { ... /* * Forget coprocessor state.. */ clear_fpu(tsk); <----- Preemption point clear_used_math(); ... } Now when it context switches in again, as the used_math() is still set and fpu_counter can be > 5, we will do a math_state_restore() which sets the task's TS_USEDFPU. After it continues from the above preemption point it does clear_used_math() and much later free_thread_xstate(). Now, at the next context switch, it is quite possible that xstate is null, used_math() is not set and TS_USEDFPU is still set. This will trigger unlazy_fpu() causing kernel oops. Fix this by clearing tsk's fpu_counter before clearing task's fpu.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge authored
When a 64-bit x86 processor runs in 32-bit PAE mode, a pte can potentially have the same number of physical address bits as the 64-bit host ("Enhanced Legacy PAE Paging"). This means, in theory, we could have up to 52 bits of physical address in a pte. The 32-bit kernel uses a 32-bit unsigned long to represent a pfn. This means that it can only represent physical addresses up to 32+12=44 bits wide. Rather than widening pfns everywhere, just set 2^44 as the Linux x86_32-PAE architectural limit for physical address size. This is a bugfix for two cases: 1. running a 32-bit PAE kernel on a machine with more than 64GB RAM. 2. running a 32-bit PAE Xen guest on a host machine with more than 64GB RAM In both cases, a pte could need to have more than 36 bits of physical, and masking it to 36-bits will cause fairly severe havoc.

Chip errata sometimes prevents reliable use of PIO commands which involve more than a single DRQ (data request). In normal operation, libata should not generate such PIO commands (uses DMA instead), but they could be sent in via SG_IO from userspace. A full workaround might be to break up such commands into sequences of single DRQ ones, but that's just way too complex for something that doesn't normally happen in real life. So, allow the attempt (it often works, despite the errata), but log the event for reference when somebody screams.

besides it apparently being useful only in 2.6.24 (the changes in 2.6.25 really mean that it could be converted back to a single-stage mechanism), I'm seeing an issue in Xen Dom0 kernels, which is caused by the calling of gart_to_virt() in the second stage invocations of the destroy function. I think that besides this being a real issue with Xen (where unmap_page_from_agp() is not just a page table attribute change), this also is invalid from a theoretical perspective: One should not assume that gart_to_virt() is still valid after unmapping a page. So minimally (keeping the 2-stage mechanism) a patch like the one below would be needed. Jan Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com>

When we demote a slice from 64k to 4k, and we are about to insert an HPTE for a 4k subpage and we notice that there is an existing 64k HPTE, we first invalidate that HPTE before inserting the new 4k subpage HPTE. Since the bits that encode which hash bucket the old HPTE was in overlap with the bits that encode which of the 16 subpages have HPTEs, we need to clear out the subpage HPTE-present bits before starting to insert HPTEs for the 4k subpages. If we don't do that, we can erroneously think that a subpage already has an HPTE when it doesn't. That in itself wouldn't be such a problem except that when we go to update the HPTE that we think is present on machines with a hypervisor, the hypervisor can tell us that the HPTE we think is there is actually there even though it isn't, which can lead to a process getting stuck in a loop, continually faulting. The reason for the confusion is that the AVPN (abbreviated virtual page number) we are looking for in the HPTE for a 4k subpage can actually match the AVPN in a stale HPTE for another 64k page. For example, the HPTE for the 4k subpage at 0x84000f000 will be in the same hash bucket and have the same AVPN as the HPTE for the 64k page at 0x8400f0000. This fixes the code to clear out the subpage HPTE-present bits. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

genetlink has a circular locking dependency when dumping the registered families: - dump start: genl_rcv() : take genl_mutex genl_rcv_msg() : call netlink_dump_start() while holding genl_mutex netlink_dump_start(), netlink_dump() : take nlk->cb_mutex ctrl_dumpfamily() : try to detect this case and not take genl_mutex a second time - dump continuance: netlink_rcv() : call netlink_dump netlink_dump : take nlk->cb_mutex ctrl_dumpfamily() : take genl_mutex Register genl_lock as callback mutex with netlink to fix this. This slightly widens an already existing module unload race, the genl ops used during the dump might go away when the module is unloaded. Thomas Graf is working on a seperate fix for this.

This reverts commit 608961a5. The problem is that the mac80211 stack not only needs to be able to muck with the link-level headers, it also might need to mangle all of the packet data if doing sw wireless encryption. This fixes kernel bugzilla #10903. Thanks to Didier Raboud (for the bugzilla report), Andrew Prince (for bisecting), Johannes Berg (for bringing this bisection analysis to my attention), and Ilpo (for trying to analyze this purely from the TCP side). In 2.6.27 we can take another stab at this, by using something like skb_cow_data() when the TX path of mac80211 ends up with a non-NULL tx->key. The ESP protocol code in the IPSEC stack can be used as a model for implementation. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
