commit 0b0c002c upstream. ... because the "clock_event_device framework" already accounts for idle time through the "event_handler" function pointer in xen_timer_interrupt(). The patch is intended as the completion of [1]. It should fix the double idle times seen in PV guests' /proc/stat [2]. It should be orthogonal to stolen time accounting (the removed code seems to be isolated). The approach may be completely misguided. [1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/10/6/10 [2] http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2010-08/msg01068.html John took the time to retest this patch on top of v3.10 and reported: "idle time is correctly incremented for pv and hvm for the normal case, nohz=off and nohz=idle." so lets put this patch in.

commit d3768d88 upstream. ExitBootServices is absolutely supposed to return a failure if any ExitBootServices event handler changes the memory map. Basically the get_map loop should run again if ExitBootServices returns an error the first time. I would say it would be fair that if ExitBootServices gives an error the second time then Linux would be fine in returning control back to BIOS. The second change is the following line: again: size += sizeof(*mem_map) * 2; Originally you were incrementing it by the size of one memory map entry. The issue here is all related to the low_alloc routine you are using. In this routine you are making allocations to get the memory map itself. Doing this allocation or allocations can affect the memory map by more than one record. [ mfleming - changelog, code style ] Signed-off-by:

commit dac76f1b upstream. The LMMIO length reported by PAT and the length given by the LBA MASK register are not consistent. This leads e.g. to a not-working ATI FireGL card with the radeon DRM driver since the memory can't be mapped. Fix this by correctly adjusting the resource sizes. Signed-off-by:

commit e8d8fc21 upstream. I still see the occasional random segv on rp3440. Looking at one of these (a code 15), it appeared the problem must be with the cache handling of anonymous pages. Reviewing this, I noticed that the space register %sr1 might be being clobbered when we flush an anonymous page. Register %sr1 is used for TLB purges in a couple of places. These purges are needed on PA8800 and PA8900 processors to ensure cache consistency of flushed cache lines. The solution here is simply to move the %sr1 load into the TLB lock region needed to ensure that one purge executes at a time on SMP systems. This was already the case for one use. After a few days of operation, I haven't had a random segv on my rp3440. Signed-off-by:

commit 0f8f8094 upstream. Some architectures (e.g. powerpc built with CONFIG_PPC_256K_PAGES=y CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER=11) get PAGE_SHIFT + MAX_ORDER > 26. In 3.10 kernels, CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y with PAGE_SHIFT + MAX_ORDER > 26 makes init_lock_keys() dereference beyond kmalloc_caches[26]. This leads to an unbootable system (kernel panic at initializing SLAB) if one of kmalloc_caches[26...PAGE_SHIFT+MAX_ORDER-1] is not NULL. Fix this by making sure that init_lock_keys() does not dereference beyond kmalloc_caches[26] arrays. Signed-off-by:

Since this seems to be a generic problem with gcc-4.7.x (and below), it's better to simplify the fault handlers in pa_memcpy to avoid this problem. Here is a simple reproducer for the problem: int main(int argc, char **argv) { int fd, nbytes; struct iovec wr_iovec[] = { { "TEST STRING ",32}, { (char*)0x40005000,32} }; // random memory. fd = open(DATA_FILE, O_RDWR | O_CREAT, 0666); nbytes = writev(fd, wr_iovec, 2); printf("return value = %d, errno %d (%s)\n", nbytes, errno, strerror(errno)); return 0; } In addition, John David Anglin wrote: There is no gcc PR as pa_memcpy is not legitimate C code. There is an implicit assumption that certain variables will contain correct values when an exception occurs and the code randomly jumps to one of the exception blocks. There is no guarantee of this. If a PR was filed, it would likely be marked as invalid. Signed-off-by:

commit 14611e51 upstream. task->cgroups is a RCU pointer pointing to struct css_set. A task switches to a different css_set on cgroup migration but a css_set doesn't change once created and its pointers to cgroup_subsys_states aren't RCU protected. task_subsys_state[_check]() is the macro to acquire css given a task and subsys_id pair. It RCU-dereferences task->cgroups->subsys[] not task->cgroups, so the RCU pointer task->cgroups ends up being dereferenced without read_barrier_depends() after it. It's broken. Fix it by introducing task_css_set[_check]() which does RCU-dereference on task->cgroups. task_subsys_state[_check]() is reimplemented to directly dereference ->subsys[] of the css_set returned from task_css_set[_check](). This removes some of sparse RCU warnings in cgroup. v2: Fixed unbalanced parenthsis and there's no need to use rcu_dereference_raw() when !CONFIG_PROVE_RCU. Both spotted by Li. Signed-off-by:

commit 39c04153 upstream. Once we decrement transaction->t_updates, if this is the last handle holding the transaction from closing, and once we release the t_handle_lock spinlock, it's possible for the transaction to commit and be released. In practice with normal kernels, this probably won't happen, since the commit happens in a separate kernel thread and it's unlikely this could all happen within the space of a few CPU cycles. On the other hand, with a real-time kernel, this could potentially happen, so save the tid found in transaction->t_tid before we release t_handle_lock. It would require an insane configuration, such as one where the jbd2 thread was set to a very high real-time priority, perhaps because a high priority real-time thread is trying to read or write to a file system. But some people who use real-time kernels have been known to do insane things, including controlling laser-wielding industrial robots. :-) Signed-off-by:

commit 6658b9f7 upstream. Certain servers may not set the NumberOfLinks field in query file/path info responses. In such a case, cifs_inode_needs_reval() assumes that all regular files are hardlinks and triggers revalidation, leading to excessive and unnecessary network traffic.

Srivatsa S. Bhat authored
commit f51e1eb6 upstream. Toralf Förster reported that the cpufreq ondemand governor behaves erratically (doesn't scale well) after a suspend/resume cycle. The problem was that the cpufreq subsystem's idea of the cpu frequencies differed from the actual frequencies set in the hardware after a suspend/resume cycle. Toralf bisected the problem to commit a66b2e50 (cpufreq: Preserve sysfs files across suspend/resume). Among other (harmless) things, that commit skipped the call to cpufreq_update_policy() in the resume path. But cpufreq_update_policy() plays an important role during resume, because it is responsible for checking if the BIOS changed the cpu frequencies behind our back and resynchronize the cpufreq subsystem's knowledge of the cpu frequencies, and update them accordingly. So, restore the call to cpufreq_update_policy() in the resume path to fix the cpufreq regression. Reported-and-tested-by:

commit 13d60f4b upstream. The futex_keys of process shared futexes are generated from the page offset, the mapping host and the mapping index of the futex user space address. This should result in an unique identifier for each futex. Though this is not true when futexes are located in different subpages of an hugepage. The reason is, that the mapping index for all those futexes evaluates to the index of the base page of the hugetlbfs mapping. So a futex at offset 0 of the hugepage mapping and another one at offset PAGE_SIZE of the same hugepage mapping have identical futex_keys. This happens because the futex code blindly uses page->index. Steps to reproduce the bug: 1. Map a file from hugetlbfs. Initialize pthread_mutex1 at offset 0 and pthread_mutex2 at offset PAGE_SIZE of the hugetlbfs mapping. The mutexes must be initialized as PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED because PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE mutexes are not affected by this issue as their keys solely depend on the user space address. 2. Lock mutex1 and mutex2 3. Create thread1 and in the thread function lock mutex1, which results in thread1 blocking on the locked mutex1. 4. Create thread2 and in the thread function lock mutex2, which results in thread2 blocking on the locked mutex2. 5. Unlock mutex2. Despite the fact that mutex2 got unlocked, thread2 still blocks on mutex2 because the futex_key points to mutex1. To solve this issue we need to take the normal page index of the page which contains the futex into account, if the futex is in an hugetlbfs mapping. In other words, we calculate the normal page mapping index of the subpage in the hugetlbfs mapping. Mappings which are not based on hugetlbfs are not affected and still use page->index. Thanks to Mel Gorman who provided a patch for adding proper evaluation functions to the hugetlbfs code to avoid exposing hugetlbfs specific details to the futex code.
