My Q67 / i7-2600 box has rev09 Sandy Bridge graphics. It hangs instantly when GNOME loads and it hangs so hard the reset button doesn't work. Setting i915.semaphore=0 fixes it. Semaphores were disabled in a1656b90 ("drm/i915: Disable GPU semaphores by default") in 2.6.38 but were then re-enabled (by mistake?) by the merge 47ae63e0 ("Merge branch 'drm-intel-fixes' into drm-intel-next"). (It's worth noting that the offending change is i915_drv.c, which was not marked as a conflict - although a 'git show --cc' on the merge does show that neither parent had it set to 1) Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

With some combinations of arch/compiler (e.g. arm-linux-gcc) the sizeof operator on structure returns value greater than expected. In cases when the structure is used for mapping PDU fields it may lead to unexpected results (such as holes and alignment problems in skb data). __packed prevents this undesired behavior.

It's a hot function, and we're better off not mixing types in the mask calculations. The compiler just ends up mixing 16-bit and 32-bit operations, for no good reason. So do everything in 'unsigned int' rather than mixing 'unsigned int' masking with a 'umode_t' (16-bit) mode variable. This, together with the parent commit (47a150ed: "Cache user_ns in struct cred") makes acl_permission_check() much nicer. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

If !CONFIG_USERNS, have current_user_ns() defined to (&init_user_ns). Get rid of _current_user_ns. This requires nsown_capable() to be defined in capability.c rather than as static inline in capability.h, so do that. Request_key needs init_user_ns defined at current_user_ns if !CONFIG_USERNS, so forward-declare that in cred.h if !CONFIG_USERNS at current_user_ns() define.

Since commit e9df2e8f (Use appropriate sock tclass setting for routing lookup) we lost ability to properly add ECN codemarks to ipv6 TCP frames. It seems like TCP_ECN_send() calls INET_ECN_xmit(), which only sets the ECN bit in the IPv4 ToS field (inet_sk(sk)->tos), but after the patch, what's checked is inet6_sk(sk)->tclass, which is a completely different field.

kptr_restrict has been triggering bugs in apps such as perf, and it also makes the system less useful by default, so turn it off by default. This is how we generally handle security features that remove functionality, such as firewall code or SELinux - they have to be configured and activated from user-space. Distributions can turn kptr_restrict on again via this line in /etc/sysctrl.conf: kernel.kptr_restrict = 1 ( Also mark the variable __read_mostly while at it, as it's typically modified only once per bootup, or not at all. ) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Acked-by: David S.

Introduce a new x86_init hook called pagetable_reserve that at the end of init_memory_mapping is used to reserve a range of memory addresses for the kernel pagetable pages we used and free the other ones. On native it just calls memblock_x86_reserve_range while on xen it also takes care of setting the spare memory previously allocated for kernel pagetable pages from RO to RW, so that it can be used for other purposes. A detailed explanation of the reason why this hook is needed follows. As a consequence of the commit: commit 4b239f45 Author: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Date: Fri Dec 17 16:58:28 2010 -0800 x86-64, mm: Put early page table high at some point init_memory_mapping is going to reach the pagetable pages area and map those pages too (mapping them as normal memory that falls in the range of addresses passed to init_memory_mapping as argument). Some of those pages are already pagetable pages (they are in the range pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_end) therefore they are going to be mapped RO and everything is fine. Some of these pages are not pagetable pages yet (they fall in the range pgt_buf_end-pgt_buf_top; for example the page at pgt_buf_end) so they are going to be mapped RW. When these pages become pagetable pages and are hooked into the pagetable, xen will find that the guest has already a RW mapping of them somewhere and fail the operation. The reason Xen requires pagetables to be RO is that the hypervisor needs to verify that the pagetables are valid before using them. The validation operations are called "pinning" (more details in arch/x86/xen/mmu.c). In order to fix the issue we mark all the pages in the entire range pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_top as RO, however when the pagetable allocation is completed only the range pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_end is reserved by init_memory_mapping. Hence the kernel is going to crash as soon as one of the pages in the range pgt_buf_end-pgt_buf_top is reused (b/c those ranges are RO). For this reason we need a hook to reserve the kernel pagetable pages we used and free the other ones so that they can be reused for other purposes. On native it just means calling memblock_x86_reserve_range, on Xen it also means marking RW the pagetable pages that we allocated before but that haven't been used before. Another way to fix this is without using the hook is by adding a 'if (xen_pv_domain)' in the 'init_memory_mapping' code and calling the Xen counterpart, but that is just nasty.

read/write/ioctl on a fbcon file descriptor has traditionally used the fbcon not when it was opened, but as it was at the time of the call. That makes no sense, but the lack of sense is much more obvious now that we properly ref-count the usage - it means that the ref-counting doesn't actually protect operations we do on the frame buffer. This changes it to look at the fb_info that we got at open time, but in order to avoid using a frame buffer long after it has been unregistered, we do verify that it is still current, and return -ENODEV if not.

This just adds the refcount and the new registration lock logic. It does not (for example) actually change the read/write/ioctl routines to actually use the frame buffer that was opened: those function still end up alway susing whatever the current frame buffer is at the time of the call. Without this, if something holds the frame buffer open over a framebuffer switch, the close() operation after the switch will access a fb_info that has been free'd by the unregistering of the old frame buffer. (The read/write/ioctl operations will normally not cause problems, because they will - illogically - pick up the new fbcon instead. But a switch that happens just as one of those is going on might see problems too, the window is just much smaller: one individual op rather than the whole open-close sequence.) This use-after-free is apparently fairly easily triggered by the Ubuntu 11.04 boot sequence.

We enabled write-combining for memory-mapped registers in commit 65f0b417, but inhibited it for the MCDI shared memory where this is not supported. However, write-combining mappings also allow read-reordering, which may also be a problem. I found that when an SFC9000-family controller is connected to an Intel 3000 chipset, and write-combining is enabled, the controller stops responding to PCIe read requests during driver initialisation while the driver is polling for completion of an MCDI command. This results in an NMI and system hang. Adding read memory barriers between all reads to the shared memory area appears to reduce but not eliminate the probability of this. We have not yet established whether this is a bug in our BIU or in the PCIe bridge. For now, work around by mapping the shared memory area separately.

Since mandatory barriers may be used (explicitly or implicitly via readl etc.) to ensure the ordering between Device and Normal memory accesses, a DMB is not enough. This patch converts it to a DSB.

GDB's interrupt.exp test cases currenly fail on ARM. The problem is how do_signal handled restarting interrupted system calls: The entry.S assembler code determines that we come from a system call; and that information is passed as "syscall" parameter to do_signal. That routine then calls get_signal_to_deliver [*] and if a signal is to be delivered, calls into handle_signal. If a system call is to be restarted either after the signal handler returns, or if no handler is to be called in the first place, the PC is updated after the get_signal_to_deliver call, either in handle_signal (if we have a handler) or at the end of do_signal (otherwise). Now the problem is that during [*], the call to get_signal_to_deliver, a ptrace intercept may happen. During this intercept, the debugger may change registers, including the PC. This is done by GDB if it wants to execute an "inferior call", i.e. the execution of some code in the debugged program triggered by GDB. To this purpose, GDB will save all registers, allocate a stack frame, set up PC and arguments as appropriate for the call, and point the link register to a dummy breakpoint instruction. Once the process is restarted, it will execute the call and then trap back to the debugger, at which point GDB will restore all registers and continue original execution. This generally works fine. However, now consider what happens when GDB attempts to do exactly that while the process was interrupted during execution of a to-be- restarted system call: do_signal is called with the syscall flag set; it calls get_signal_to_deliver, at which point the debugger takes over and changes the PC to point to a completely different place. Now get_signal_to_deliver returns without a signal to deliver; but now do_signal decides it should be restarting a system call, and decrements the PC by 2 or 4 -- so it now points to 2 or 4 bytes before the function GDB wants to call -- which leads to a subsequent crash. To fix this problem, two things need to be supported: - do_signal must be able to recognize that get_signal_to_deliver changed the PC to a different location, and skip the restart-syscall sequence - once the debugger has restored all registers at the end of the inferior call sequence, do_signal must recognize that *now* it needs to restart the pending system call, even though it was now entered from a breakpoint instead of an actual svc instruction This set of issues is solved on other platforms, usually by one of two mechanisms: - The status information "do_signal is handling a system call that may need restarting" is itself carried in some register that can be accessed via ptrace. This is e.g. on Intel the "orig_eax" register; on Sparc the kernel defines a magic extra bit in the flags register for this purpose. This allows GDB to manage that state: reset it when doing an inferior call, and restore it after the call is finished. - On s390, do_signal transparently handles this problem without requiring GDB interaction, by performing system call restarting in the following way: first, adjust the PC as necessary for restarting the call. Then, call get_signal_to_deliver; and finally just continue execution at the PC. This way, if GDB does not change the PC, everything is as before. If GDB *does* change the PC, execution will simply continue there -- and once GDB restores the PC it saved at that point, it will automatically point to the *restarted* system call. (There is the minor twist how to handle system calls that do *not* need restarting -- do_signal will undo the PC change in this case, after get_signal_to_deliver has returned, and only if ptrace did not change the PC during that call.) Because there does not appear to be any obvious register to carry the syscall-restart information on ARM, we'd either have to introduce a new artificial ptrace register just for that purpose, or else handle the issue transparently like on s390. The patch below implements the second option; using this patch makes the interrupt.exp test cases pass on ARM, with no regression in the GDB test suite otherwise.

The SPARSEMEM code allocates memmap entries only for sections which are present (i.e. those which contain some valid memory). The membank checks in free_unused_memmap do not take this into account and can incorrectly attempt to free memory which is not allocated, resulting in a BUG() in the bootmem code. However, if memory is configured as follows: |<----section---->|<----hole---->|<----section---->| +--------+--------+--------------+--------+--------+ | bank 0 | unused | | bank 1 | unused | +--------+--------+--------------+--------+--------+ where a bank only occupies part of a section, the memmap allocated for the remainder of the section *can* be freed. This patch modifies the checks in free_unused_memmap so that only valid memmap entries are considered for removal.
