      ptrace GET/SET FPXREGS broken · 11dbc963
      TAKADA Yoshihito authored
      When I update kernel 2.6.25 from 2.6.24, gdb does not work.
      On 2.6.25, ptrace(PTRACE_GETFPXREGS, ...) returns ENODEV.
      
      But 2.6.24 kernel's ptrace() returns EIO.
      It is issue of compatibility.
      
      I attached test program as pt.c and patch for fix it.

      x86: fix cpu hotplug crash · fcb43042
      Zhang, Yanmin authored
      Vegard Nossum reported crashes during cpu hotplug tests:
      
        http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121413950227884&w=4
      
      In function _cpu_up, the panic happens when calling
      __raw_notifier_call_chain at the second time. Kernel doesn't panic when
      calling it at the first time. If just say because of nr_cpu_ids, that's
      not right.
      
      By checking the source code, I found that function do_boot_cpu is the culprit.
      Consider below call chain:
       _cpu_up=>__cpu_up=>smp_ops.cpu_up=>native_cpu_up=>do_boot_cpu.
      
      So do_boot_cpu is called in the end. In do_boot_cpu, if
      boot_error==true, cpu_clear(cpu, cpu_possible_map) is executed. So later
      on, when _cpu_up calls __raw_notifier_call_chain at the second time to
      report CPU_UP_CANCELED, because this cpu is already cleared from
      cpu_possible_map, get_cpu_sysdev returns NULL.
      
      Many resources are related to cpu_possible_map, so it's better not to
      change it.
      
      Below patch against 2.6.26-rc7 fixes it by removing the bit clearing in
      cpu_possible_map.
