posix-cpu-timers.c correctly assumes that the dying process does posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() and removes all !CPUCLOCK_PERTHREAD timers from signal->cpu_timers list. But, it also assumes that timer->it.cpu.task is always the group leader, and thus the dead ->task means the dead thread group. This is obviously not true after de_thread() changes the leader. After that almost every posix_cpu_timer_ method has problems. It is not simple to fix this bug correctly. First of all, I think that timer->it.cpu should use struct pid instead of task_struct. Also, the locking should be reworked completely. In particular, tasklist_lock should not be used at all. This all needs a lot of nontrivial and hard-to-test changes. Change __exit_signal() to do posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() when the old leader dies during exec. This is not the fix, just the temporary hack to hide the problem for 2.6.37 and stable. IOW, this is obviously wrong but this is what we currently have anyway: cpu timers do not work after mt exec. In theory this change adds another race. The exiting leader can detach the timers which were attached to the new leader. However, the window between de_thread() and release_task() is small, we can pretend that sys_timer_create() was called before de_thread(). Signed-off-by:

adapter->id is deprecated and not set by any adapter driver, so this was certainly not what the author wanted to use. adapter->nr maybe, but as dev_err() already includes this value, as well as the client's address, there's no point repeating them. Better print a simple error message in plain English words. Signed-off-by:

We can optimize kernel/relay.c::relay_alloc_page_array() slightly by using vzalloc. The patch makes these changes: - use vzalloc instead of vmalloc+memset. - remove redundant local variable 'array'. - declare local 'pa_size' as const. Cuts down nicely on both source and object-code size. Signed-off-by:

Linus noted, and complained to me, that doing while lots of "git diff"'s of kernel sources, these spinlocks were responsible for 27% of the spinlock cost on his two-processor system as reported by perf. Git was doing lots of parallel stats, and this was putting a lot of pressure on ext4_getattr(). A spinlock to protect a single memory-to-memory copy is pointless, so remove it. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds support for Power/Status LED on Creative USB X-Fi S51. There is just one LED on the device. The LED can either be On or it can be set to Blink. There doesn't seem to be a way to switch it off. The control message to change LED status is similar to that of audigy2nx except that the index is to be set to 0 and value is 1 for Blink and 0 for On. The 'Power LED' control in alsamixer when muted will cause the LED to Blink continuously. When unmuted the LED will stay On. The Creative driver under Windows sets the LED to blink whenever audio is muted. This LED can be treated as the CMSS LED but I figured since there is just one LED, it should be treated as the Power LED. Is that alright? I've also changed the comment "Usb X-Fi" to "Usb X-Fi S51" as there are other external X-Fi devices from Creative like Usb X-Fi Go and Xmod. The volume knob and LED support patch doesn't apply to them. Signed-off-by:

I noticed that sound/pci/asihpi/hpicmn.c::hpi_alloc_control_cache() does not check the return value from kmalloc(), which may fail. If kmalloc() fails we'll dereference a null pointer and things will go bad fast. There are two memory allocations in that function and there's also the problem that the first may succeed and the second may fail and nothing is done about that either which will also go wrong down the line.

The existing asm-generic/stat.h specifies st_mtime, etc., as a 32-value, and works well for 32-bit architectures (currently microblaze, score, and 32-bit tile). However, for 64-bit architectures it isn't sufficient to return 32 bits of time_t; this isn't good insurance against the 2037 rollover. (It also makes glibc support less convenient, since we can't use glibc's handy STAT_IS_KERNEL_STAT mode.) This change extends the two "timespec" fields for each of the three atime, mtime, and ctime fields from "int" to "long". As a result, on 32-bit platforms nothing changes, and 64-bit platforms will now work as expected. The only wrinkle is 32-bit userspace under 64-bit kernels taking advantage of COMPAT mode. For these, we leave the "struct stat64" definitions with the "int" versions of the time_t and nsec fields, so that architectures can implement compat_sys_stat64() and friends with sys_stat64(), etc., and get the expected 32-bit structure layout. This requires a field-by-field copy in the kernel, implemented by the code guarded under __ARCH_WANT_STAT64. This does mean that the shape of the "struct stat" and "struct stat64" structures is different on a 64-bit kernel, but only one of the two structures should ever be used by any given process: "struct stat" is meant for 64-bit userspace only, and "struct stat64" for 32-bit userspace only. (On a 32-bit kernel the two structures continue to have the same shape, since "long" is 32 bits.) The alternative is keeping the two structures the same shape on 64-bit kernels, which means a 64-bit time_t in "struct stat64" for 32-bit processes. This is a little unnatural since 32-bit userspace can't do anything with 64 bits of time_t information, since time_t is just "long", not "int64_t"; and in any case 32-bit userspace might expect to be running under a 32-bit kernel, which can't provide the high 32 bits anyway. In the case of a 32-bit kernel we'd then be extending the kernel's 32-bit time_t to 64 bits, then truncating it back to 32 bits again in userspace, for no particular reason. And, as mentioned above, if we have 64-bit time_t for 32-bit processes we can't easily use glibc's STAT_IS_KERNEL_STAT, since glibc's stat structure requires an embedded "struct timespec", which is a pair of "long" (32-bit) values in a 32-bit userspace. "Inventive" solutions are possible, but are pretty hacky. Signed-off-by:

The kernel was allowing any component of the pt_regs to be updated either by signal handlers writing to the stack, or by processes writing via PTRACE_POKEUSR or PTRACE_SETREGS, which meant they could set their PL up from 0 to 1 and get access to kernel code and data (or, in practice, cause a kernel panic). We now always reset the ex1 field, allowing the user to set their ICS bit only. Signed-off-by:

This change is modelled on similar fixes for other architectures. The pt_regs "faultnum" member is set to the trap (fault) number that caused us to enter the kernel, and is INT_SWINT_1 for the syscall software interrupt. We already supported a pseudo value, INT_SWINT_1_SIGRETURN, that we used for the rt_sigreturn syscall; it avoided the case where one signal was handled, then we "tail-called" to another handler. This change avoids the similar case where we start to call one handler, then are preempted into another handler when we start trying to run the first handler. We clear ->faultnum after calling handle_signal(), and to be paranoid also in the case where there was no signal to deliver. Signed-off-by:

This change makes KM_TYPE_NR independent of the actual deprecated list of km_type values, which are no longer used in tile code anywhere.
