Setting the task name is done within setup_new_exec() by accessing bprm->filename. However this happens after flush_old_exec(). This may result in a use after free bug, flush_old_exec() may "complete" vfork_done, which will wake up the parent which in turn may free the passed in filename. To fix this add a new tcomm field in struct linux_binprm which contains the now early generated task name until it is used.

Power management fixes for 3.3-rc3 Three power management regression fixes, one for a recent regression introcuded by the freezer changes during the 3.3 merge window and two for regressions in cpuidle (resulting from PM QoS changes) and in the hibernate user space interface, both introduced during the 3.2 development cycle. They include: * Two hibernate (s2disk) regression fixes from Srivatsa S. Bhat (for regressions introduced during the 3.3 merge window and during the 3.2 development cycle). * A cpuidle fix from Venki Pallipadi for a regression resulting from PM QoS changes during the 3.2 development cycle causing cpuidle to work incorrectly for CONFIG_PM unset. * tag 'pm-fixes-for-3.3-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: PM / QoS: CPU C-state breakage with PM Qos change PM / Freezer: Thaw only kernel threads if freezing of kernel threads fails PM / Hibernate: Thaw kernel threads in SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE ioctl path

Looks like change "PM QoS: Move and rename the implementation files" merged during the 3.2 development cycle made PM QoS depend on CONFIG_PM which depends on (PM_SLEEP || PM_RUNTIME). That breaks CPU C-states with kernels not having these CONFIGs, causing CPUs to spend time in Polling loop idle instead of going into deep C-states, consuming way way more power. This is with either acpi idle or intel idle enabled. Either CONFIG_PM should be enabled with any pm_qos users or the !CONFIG_PM pm_qos_request() should return sane defaults not to break the existing users. Here's is the patch for the latter option.

Srivatsa S. Bhat authored
If freezing of kernel threads fails, we are expected to automatically thaw tasks in the error recovery path. However, at times, we encounter situations in which we would like the automatic error recovery path to thaw only the kernel threads, because we want to be able to do some more cleanup before we thaw userspace. Something like: error = freeze_kernel_threads(); if (error) { /* Do some cleanup */ /* Only then thaw userspace tasks*/ thaw_processes(); } An example of such a situation is where we freeze/thaw filesystems during suspend/hibernation. There, if freezing of kernel threads fails, we would like to thaw the frozen filesystems before thawing the userspace tasks. So, modify freeze_kernel_threads() to thaw only kernel threads in case of freezing failure. And change suspend_freeze_processes() accordingly. (At the same time, let us also get rid of the rather cryptic usage of the conditional operator (:?) in that function.) [rjw: In fact, this patch fixes a regression introduced during the 3.3 merge window, because without it thaw_processes() may be called before swsusp_free() in some situations and that may lead to massive memory allocation failures.] Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S.

mm: compaction: check pfn_valid when entering a new MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block during isolation for migration When isolating for migration, migration starts at the start of a zone which is not necessarily pageblock aligned. Further, it stops isolating when COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX pages are isolated so migrate_pfn is generally not aligned. This allows isolate_migratepages() to call pfn_to_page() on an invalid PFN which can result in a crash. This was originally reported against a 3.0-based kernel with the following trace in a crash dump.

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 01c00008 IP: [<c0522399>] isolate_migratepages+0x119/0x390 *pdpt = 000000002f7ce001 *pde = 0000000000000000 It is expected that it also affects 3.2.x and current mainline. The problem is that pfn_valid is only called on the first PFN being checked and that PFN is not necessarily aligned. Lets say we have a case like this H = MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundary | = pageblock boundary m = cc->migrate_pfn f = cc->free_pfn o = memory hole H------|------H------|----m-Hoooooo|ooooooH-f----|------H The migrate_pfn is just below a memory hole and the free scanner is beyond the hole. When isolate_migratepages started, it scans from migrate_pfn to migrate_pfn+pageblock_nr_pages which is now in a memory hole. It checks pfn_valid() on the first PFN but then scans into the hole where there are not necessarily valid struct pages. This patch ensures that isolate_migratepages calls pfn_valid when necessary.

Herbert Poetzl reported a performance regression since 2.6.39. The test is a simple dd read, but with big block size. The reason is: T1: ra (A, A+128k), (A+128k, A+256k) T2: lock_page for page A, submit the 256k T3: hit page A+128K, ra (A+256k, A+384). the range isn't submitted because of plug and there isn't any lock_page till we hit page A+256k because all pages from A to A+256k is in memory T4: hit page A+256k, ra (A+384, A+ 512). Because of plug, the range isn't submitted again. T5: lock_page A+256k, so (A+256k, A+512k) will be submitted. The task is waitting for (A+256k, A+512k) finish. There is no request to disk in T3 and T4, so readahead pipeline breaks. We really don't need block plug for generic_file_aio_read() for buffered I/O. The readahead already has plug and has fine grained control when I/O should be submitted. Deleting plug for buffered I/O fixes the regression. One side effect is plug makes the request size 256k, the size is 128k without it. This is because default ra size is 128k and not a reason we need plug here. Vivek said: : We submit some readahead IO to device request queue but because of nested : plug, queue never gets unplugged. When read logic reaches a page which is : not in page cache, it waits for page to be read from the disk : (lock_page_killable()) and that time we flush the plug list. : : So effectively read ahead logic is kind of broken in parts because of : nested plugging. Removing top level plug (generic_file_aio_read()) for : buffered reads, will allow unplugging queue earlier for readahead.

In function pre_handler_kretprobe(), the allocated kretprobe_instance object will get leaked if the entry_handler callback returns non-zero. This may cause all the preallocated kretprobe_instance objects exhausted. This issue can be reproduced by changing samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c to probe "mutex_unlock". And the fix is straightforward: just put the allocated kretprobe_instance object back onto the free_instances list.

KDFONTOP(GET) currently fails with EIO when being run in a 32bit userland with a 64bit kernel if the font width is not 8. This is because of the setting of the KD_FONT_FLAG_OLD flag, which makes con_font_get return EIO in such case. This flag should *not* be set for KDFONTOP, since it's actually the whole point of this flag (see comment in con_font_set for instance).

Fix a race condition that shows in conjunction with xip_file_fault() when two threads of the same user process fault on the same memory page. In this case, the race winner will install the page table entry and the unlucky loser will cause an oops: xip_file_fault calls vm_insert_pfn (via vm_insert_mixed) which drops out at this check: retval = -EBUSY; if (!pte_none(*pte)) goto out_unlock; The resulting -EBUSY return value will trigger a BUG_ON() in xip_file_fault. This fix simply considers the fault as fixed in this case, because the race winner has successfully installed the pte.
