This patch briges the mv64x60 related code up to the latest that I have. It: - adds MPSC support to some ppc bootwrapper files - adds an erratum workaround for the mv64460 - changes some platform_data related structure names - cleans up a bunch of whitespace Signed-off-by:

__get_free_pages() calls alloc_pages, finds the page_address() and throws away the struct page *. Slab then calls virt_to_page to get it back again. Much more efficient for slab to call alloc_pages itself, as well as making the NUMA and non-NUMA cases more similarr to each other. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds a new function alloc_zeroed_user_highpage that is then used in the anonymous page fault handler and in the COW code to allocate zeroed pages. The function can be defined per arch to setup special processing for user pages by defining __HAVE_ARCH_ALLOC_ZEROED_USER_PAGE. For arches that do not need to do special things for user pages, alloc_zeroed_user_highpage is defined to simply do alloc_page_vma(GFP_HIGHUSER | __GFP_ZERO, vma, vaddr) This patch needs to update a number of archs. Wish there was a better way to do this. Signed-off-by:

Convert the unsafe signed (16bit) used_math to a safe and optimal PF_USED_MATH I might have broken arm, see the very first change in the patch to asm-offsets.c, rest looks ok at first glance. If you want used_math to return 0 or 1 (instead of 0 or PF_USED_MATH), just s/!!// in the below patch and place !! in sched.h::*used_math() accordingly after applying the patch, it should work just fine. Using !! only when necessary as the below is optimal. From: Yoichi Yuasa <yuasa@hh.iij4u.or.jp> This patch had fixed restore_sigcontext/restore_sigcontext32 about MIPS. Signed-off-by:

Fix several oom killer bugs, most important avoid spurious oom kills badness algorithm tweaked by Thomas Gleixner to deal with fork bombs This is the core of the oom-killer fixes I developed partly taking the idea from Thomas's patches of getting feedback from the exit path, plus I moved the oom killer into page_alloc.c as it should to be able to check the watermarks before killing more stuff. This also tweaks the badness to take thread bombs more into account (that change to badness is from Thomas, from my part I'd rather rewrite badness from scratch instead, but that's an orthgonal issue ;). With this applied the oom killer is very sane, no more 5 sec waits and suprious oom kills. Signed-off-by:

- Rename various fields related to the lower-zone protection code to sync up with 2.4. - Remove the automatic determination of the values of the per-zone protection levels from a single tunable. Replace this with a simple per-zone sysctl. Signed-off-by:

With <garloff@suse.de> This is protect-pids, a patch to allow the admin to tune the oom killer. The tweak is inherited between parent and child so it's easy to write a wrapper for complex apps. I made used_math a char at the light of later patches. Current patch breaks alpha, but future patches will fix it. Signed-off-by:

With Suparna Bhattacharya <suparna@in.ibm.com> I was running a random system call generator against mainline the other day and got this bug report about AIO in dmesg: kernel BUG at fs/aio.c:1249! Each ioctx structure has a "users" field that acts as a reference counter for the ioctx, and a "dead" flag that seems to indicate that the ioctx isn't associated with any particular list of IO requests. The problem, then, lies in aio.c:1247. The io_destroy function checks the (old) value of the dead flag--if it's false (i.e. the ioctx is alive), then the function calls put_ioctx to decrease the reference count on the assumption that the ioctx is no longer associated with any requests. Later, it calls put_ioctx again, on the assumption that someone called lookup_ioctx to perform some operation at some point. This BUG is caused by the reference counts being off. The testcase that I provided looks for a chunk of user memory that's read-only and passes that to the sys_io_setup syscall. sys_io_setup checks that the pointer is readable, creates the ioctx and then tries to write the ioctx handle back to userland. This is where the problems start to surface. Since the pointer points to a non-writable region of memory, the write fails. The syscall handler then destroys the ioctx. The dead flag is zero, so io_destroy calls put_ioctx...but wait! Nobody ever put the ioctx into a request list. The ioctx is alive but not in a list, yet the io_destroy code assumes that being alive implies being in a request list somewhere. Hence, calling put_ioctx is bogus; the reference count becomes 0, and the ioctx is freed. Worse yet, put_ioctx is called again (on a freed pointer!) to clear up the lookup_ioctx that never happened. put_ioctx sees that the reference count has become negative and BUGs. Suparna's patch simply takes that additional ref so that io_destroy() will dtrt. Signed-off-by:

It's not necessary to keep IRQs disabled after the BKL has been dropped. In fact i think IRQ-disabling doesnt have to be done at all, the patch below ought to solve this scenario equally well, and should solve the PPC side-effects too. Signed-off-by:

Chris Wright authored
When auditd is congested the kernel's audit system leaks skb's. First, it takes them off the audit_buffer sklist at which point they are lost, second, it allocates a new skb with 0 length payload. Then (likely still congested), it repeats this losing the new skb. Plug the leak by making sure to requeue the skb, and avoid audit_log_move() on 0 len audit_buffer. Signed-off-by:

Zwane reports an oops duie to add_entropy_words running off the top of the stack reading its input. The overrun is harmless until it causes a page fault. Looks like I introduced this bug in Aug 2003, but it was hard to trigger until the recent changes. Signed-off-by:

Looks like we fixed only part of the problem earlier. When the child moves away from ptrace notify and resets the last_siginfo, sighand lock helps. But if the child goes further in exit and releases the sighand, we need to test that case too. See ptrace_check_attach() and exit_sighand(). They also use the tasklist_lock. Followed Roland's suggestions on lock primitive and struct assignment. Signed-Off-by:
