Impact: fix kdump crash on 32-bit sparsemem kernels Since linux-2.6.27, kdump has failed on i386 sparsemem kernel. 1st-kernel gets a panic just before switching to 2nd-kernel. The cause is that a kernel accesses invalid mem_section by page_to_pfn(image->swap_page) at machine_kexec(). image->swap_page is allocated if kexec for hibernation, but it is not allocated if kdump. So if kdump, a kernel should not access the mem_section corresponding to image->swap_page. The attached patch fixes this invalid access.

Impact: fix guest kernel boot crash on certain configs Recent i686 2.6.27 kernels with a certain amount of memory (between 736 and 855MB) have a problem booting under a hypervisor that supports batched mprotect (this includes the RHEL-5 Xen hypervisor as well as any 3.3 or later Xen hypervisor). The problem ends up being that xen_ptep_modify_prot_commit() is using virt_to_machine to calculate which pfn to update. However, this only works for pages that are in the p2m list, and the pages coming from change_pte_range() in mm/mprotect.c are kmap_atomic pages. Because of this, we can run into the situation where the lookup in the p2m table returns an INVALID_MFN, which we then try to pass to the hypervisor, which then (correctly) denies the request to a totally bogus pfn. The right thing to do is to use arbitrary_virt_to_machine, so that we can be sure we are modifying the right pfn. This unfortunately introduces a performance penalty because of a full page-table-walk, but we can avoid that penalty for pages in the p2m list by checking if virt_addr_valid is true, and if so, just doing the lookup in the p2m table. The attached patch implements this, and allows my 2.6.27 i686 based guest with 768MB of memory to boot on a RHEL-5 hypervisor again. Thanks to Jeremy for the suggestions about how to fix this particular issue.

In commit f337b9c5 ("epoll: drop unnecessary test") Thomas found that there is an unnecessary (always true) test in ep_send_events(). The callback never inserts into ->rdllink while the send loop is performed, and also does the ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS test. Given we're holding the mutex during this time, the conditions tested inside the loop are always true. HOWEVER. The test "!ep_is_linked(&epi->rdllink)" wasn't there because we insert into ->rdllink, but because the send-events loop might terminate before the whole list is scanned (-EFAULT). In such cases, when the loop terminates early, and when a (leftover) file received an event while we're performing the lockless loop, we need such test to avoid to double insert the epoll items. The list_splice() done a few steps below, will correctly re-insert the ones that were left on "txlist". This should fix the kenrel.org bugzilla entry 11831.

Some userland apps seem to pass in a "0" for the seconds, and several seconds worth of usecs to select(). The old kernels accepted this just fine, so the new kernels must too. However, due to the upscaling of the microseconds to nanoseconds we had some cases where we got math overflow, and depending on the GCC version (due to inlining decisions) that actually resulted in an -EINVAL return. This patch fixes this by adding the excess microseconds to the seconds field. Also with thanks to Marcin Slusarz for spotting some implementation bugs in the diagnostics patches.

The default for the regulatory compatibility option is wrong; if you picked the default you ended up with a non-functional wifi system (at least I did on Fedora 9 with iwl4965). I don't think even the October 2008 releases of the various distros has the new userland so clearly the default is wrong, and also we can't just go about deleting this in 2.6.29... Change the default to "y" and also adjust the config text a little to reflect this.

This reverts commit 7bf6bf48. The code has both a short existence and an increasing track of failures despite some work to amend it for -rc1. It is not just a matter of reading the eeprom: sometimes the eeprom is read correctly, then the mac address is not written correctly back into the mac registers. Some chipsets seem to work reliably but it is not clear at this point if the code can simply be made to work on a per-chipset basis and post -rc1 is not the place where I want to experiment these things.

If you use KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG (even with empty file) you get broken allmodconfig/allyesconfig; CONFIG_MODULES gets turned off, with obvious massive fallout. Breakage had been introduced when conf_set_all_new_symbols() got used for allmodconfig et.al. What happens is that sym_calc_value(modules_sym) done in conf_read_simple() sets SYMBOL_VALID on both modules_sym and MODULES. When we get to conf_set_all_new_symbols(), we set sym->def[S_DEF_USER] on everything, but it has no effect on sym->curr for the symbols that already have SYMBOL_VALID - these are stuck. Solution: use sym_clear_all_valid() in there. Note that it makes reevaluation of modules_sym redundant - sym_clear_all_valid() will do that itself.

As the probable result of zealous copy/pasting, many supported boards contain sensor names with trailing whitespace. Though this is not a huge problem, it is inconsistent with other sensor names, and with other similar hwmon drivers. Additionally, the DMI nag message added in 2.6.27 was missing a space between two sentence fragments -- might as well clean that up too. Doesn't alter any kernel text, just data.

There are several problems in the way the hysteresis value is handled by the lm90 driver: * In show_temphyst(), specific handling of the MAX6646 is missing, so the hysteresis is reported incorrectly if the critical temperature is over 127 degrees C. * In set_temphyst(), the new hysteresis register value is written to the chip but data->temp_hyst isn't updated accordingly, so there is a short period of time (up to 2 seconds) where the old hystereris value will be returned while the new one is already active. * In set_temphyst(), the critical temperature which is used as a base to compute the value of the hysteresis register lacks device-specific handling. As a result, the value of the hysteresis register might be incorrect for the ADT7461 and MAX6646 chips. Fix these 3 bugs.

This reverts commit a802dd0e by moving the call to init_workqueues() back where it belongs - after SMP has been initialized. It also moves stop_machine_init() - which needs workqueues - to a later phase using a core_initcall() instead of early_initcall(). That should satisfy all ordering requirements, and was apparently the reason why init_workqueues() was moved to be too early.
