I have a system (Biostar IDEQ210M mini-pc with a VIA chipset) which will not reboot unless a keyboard is plugged in to it. I have tried all combinations of the kernel "reboot=x,y" flags to no avail. Rebooting by any method will leave the system in a wedged state (at the "Restarting system" message). I finally tracked the problem down to the machine's refusal to fully reboot unless the keyboard controller status register had bit 2 set. This is the "System flag" which when set, indicates successful completion of the keyboard controller self-test (Basic Assurance Test, BAT). I suppose that something is trying to protect against sporadic reboots unless the keyboard controller is in a good state (a keyboard is present), but I need this machine to be headless. I found that setting the system flag (via the command byte) before giving the "pulse reset line" command will allow the reboot to proceed. The patch is simple, and I think it should be fine for everybody whether they have this type of machine or not. This affects the "hard" reboot (as done when the kernel boot flags "reboot=c,h" are used). Signed-off-by:

Implement a per-kiocb lock to serialise retry operations and cancel. This is done using wait_on_bit_lock() on the KIF_LOCKED bit of kiocb->ki_flags. Also, make the cancellation path lock the kiocb and subsequently release all references to it if the cancel was successful. This version includes a fix for the deadlock with __aio_run_iocbs.

Note that other than few exceptions, most of the current filesystem and/or drivers do not have aio cancel specifically defined (kiob->ki_cancel field is mostly NULL). However, sys_io_cancel system call universally sets return code to -EAGAIN. This gives applications a wrong impression that this call is implemented but just never works. We have customer inquires about this issue. Changed by Benjamin LaHaise to EINVAL instead of ENOSYS Signed-off-by:

Chen, Kenneth W authored
For architecture like ia64, the switch stack structure is fairly large (currently 528 bytes). For context switch intensive application, we found that significant amount of cache misses occurs in switch_to() function. The following patch adds a hook in the schedule() function to prefetch switch stack structure as soon as 'next' task is determined. This allows maximum overlap in prefetch cache lines for that structure. Signed-off-by:

Race is as follows. Process A forks process B, both being part of the same session. Then, A calls disassociate_ctty while B forks C: A B ==== ==== fork() copy_signal() dissasociate_ctty() .... attach_pid(p, PIDTYPE_SID, p->signal->session); Now, C can have current->signal->tty pointing to a freed tty structure, as it hasn't yet been added to the session group (to have its controlling tty cleared on the diassociate_ctty() call). This has shown up as an oops but could be even more serious. I haven't tried to create a test case, but a customer has verified that the patch below resolves the issue, which was occuring quite frequently. I'll try and post the test case if i can. The patch simply checks for a NULL tty *after* it has been attached to the proper session group and clears it as necessary. Alternatively, we could simply do the tty assignment after the the process is added to the proper session group. Signed-off-by:

Some people use 66-cells braille devices for reading the console, and hence would like to reduce the width of the screen by using: stty cols 66 However, the vga text console doesn't behave correctly: the 14 first characters of the second line are put on the right of the first line and so forth. Here is a patch to correct that. It corrects the disp_end and offset registers of the vga board on console resize and console switch. On usual screens, you then correctly get a right and/or bottom blank margin. On some laptop panels, the output is resized so that text actually gets magnified, which can be great for some people (see http://dept-info.labri.fr/~thibault/ls.jpg ). Signed-off-by:

The idea of this patch is to lock both sides of a ptmx/pty pair during line discipline changing. This is needed to ensure that say a poll on one side of the pty doesn't occur while the line discipline is actively being changed. This resulted in an oops reported on lkml, see: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=111342171410005&w=2 A 'hacky' approach was previously implmemented which served to eliminate the poll vs. line discipline changing race. However, this patch takes a more general approach to the issue. The patch only adds locking on a less often used path, the line-discipline changing path, as opposed to locking the ptmx/pty pair on read/write/poll paths. The patch below, takes both ldisc locks in either order b/c the locks are both taken under the same spinlock(). I thought about locking the ptmx/pty separately, such as master always first but that introduces a 3 way deadlock. For example, process 1 does a blocking read on the slave side. Then, process 2 does an ldisc change on the slave side, which acquires the master ldisc lock but not the slave's. Finally, process 3 does a write which blocks on the process 2's ldisc reference. This patch does introduce some changes in semantics. For example, a line discipline change on side 'a' of a ptmx/pty pair, will now wait for a read/write to complete on the other side, or side 'b'. The current behavior is to simply wait for any read/writes on only side 'a', not both sides 'a' and 'b'. I think this behavior makes sense, but I wanted to point it out. I've tested the patch with a bunch of read/write/poll while changing the line discipline out from underneath. This patch obviates the need for the above "hide the problem" patch. Signed-off-by:

arch/alpha/kernel/module.c:process_reloc_for_got(), which figures out how big the .got section for a module should be, appears to be confusing r_offset (the file offset that the relocation needs to be applied to) with r_addend (the offset of the relocation's actual target address from the address of the relocation's symbol). Because of this, one .got entry is allocated for each relocation instead of one each unique symbol/addend. In the module I am working with, this causes the .got section to be almost 10 times larger than it needs to be (75544 bytes instead of 7608 bytes). As the .got is accessed with global-pointer-relative instructions, it needs to be within the 64k gp "zone", and a 75544 byte .got clearly does not fit. The result of this is that relocation overflows are detected during module load and the load is aborted. Change struct got_entry/process_reloc_for_got to fix this. Acked-by:

The use of non-shortcut version of routines breaking CPU hotplug. The option to select this via cmdline also is deleted with the physflat patch, hence directly placing this code under CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU. We dont want to use broadcast mode IPI's when hotplug is enabled. This causes bad effects in send IPI to a cpu that is offline which can trip when the cpu is in the process of being kicked alive.

This is the same issue as ppc64 before, when returning to userland we shouldn't re-compute the seccomp check or the task could be killed during sigreturn when orig_eax is overwritten by the sigreturn syscall. This was found by Roland. This was harmless from a security standpoint, but some i686 users reported failures with auditing enabled system wide (some distro surprisingly makes it the default) and I reproduced it too by keeping the whole workload under strace -f. Patch is tested and works for me under strace -f. nobody@athlon:~/cpushare> strace -o /tmp/o -f python seccomp_test.py make: Nothing to be done for `seccomp_test'. Starting computing some malicious bytecode init load start stop receive_data failure kill exit_code 0 signal 9 The malicious bytecode has been killed successfully by seccomp Starting computing some safe bytecode init load start stop 174 counts kill exit_code 0 signal 0 The seccomp_test.py completed successfully, thank you for testing.

The following patch changes the usages of PVR_440* into strcmp's with the cpu_name field, and removes the defines altogether. The Ebony portion was briefly tested long ago. One benefit of moving from PVR-tests to string tests in general is that not all CPUs can be on and be able to do this type of comparison.

Modifies serial_init to get base baud rate from the rs_table entry instead of BAUD_BASE. This patch eliminates duplication between the SERIAL_PORT_DFNS macro and BAUD_BASE. Without the patch, if a port set the baud rate in SERIAL_PORT_DFNS, but did not update BASE_BAUD, the BASE_BAUD value would still be used. Signed-off-by:

This patch removes the inode_post_create/mkdir/mknod/symlink LSM hooks as they are obsoleted by the new inode_init_security hook that enables atomic inode security labeling.
