WARN() is used in some places to report firmware or hardware bugs that are then worked-around. These bugs do not affect the stability of the kernel and should not set the flag for TAINT_WARN. To allow for this, add WARN_TAINT() and WARN_TAINT_ONCE() macros that take a taint number as argument. Architectures that implement warnings using trap instructions instead of calls to warn_slowpath_*() now implement __WARN_TAINT(taint) instead of __WARN().

When using iommu_domain_alloc with the Intel iommu, the domain address width is always initialized to 48 bits (agaw 2). This domain->agaw value is then used by pfn_to_dma_pte to (always) build a 4 level page table. However, not all systems support iommu width of 48 or 4 level page tables. In particular, the Core i5-660 and i5-670 support an address width of 36 bits (not 39!), an agaw of only 1, and only 3 level page tables. This version of the patch simply lops off extra levels of the page tables if the agaw value of the iommu is less than what is currently allocated for the domain (in intel_iommu_attach_device). If there were already allocated addresses above what the new iommu can handle, EFAULT is returned.

Commit 074835f0 ("intel-iommu: Fix kernel hand if interrupt remapping disabled in BIOS") is adding a check for interrupt remapping disabled and is dereferencing the dmar_tbl pointer without checking its value. Unfortunately, this value is null when booting inside a 64bit virtual box guest with io-apic disabled, leading to a crash. With a check on it, the guest is now booting. It's triggering a WARN() in clockevent_delta2ns but it's better than not booting at all and allows the user to see there's something wrong on their io-apic setup.

While it may be efficient on real hardware, emulation of global invalidations is very expensive as all shadow entries must be examined. This patch changes the behaviour when caching mode is enabled (which is the case when IOMMU emulation takes place). In this case, page specific invalidation is used instead.

In caching-mode mappings of pages (changes from non-present to present) require invalidation. Currently, this IOTLB flush is performed with domain ID of zero. This is not according to the VT-d spec and causes big problems for emulating software. This patch uses the correct domain ID in IOTLB flushes. Device IOTLB invalidation is performed only on present to non-present changes. This decision is now based on explicit parameter instead of zero domain-ID.

In commit 9df93939 ("ext3: Use bitops to read/modify EXT3_I(inode)->i_state") ext3 changed its internal 'i_state' variable to use bitops for its state handling. However, unline the same ext4 change, it didn't actually change the name of the field when it changed the semantics of it. As a result, an old use of 'i_state' remained in fs/ext3/ialloc.c that initialized the field to EXT3_STATE_NEW. And that does not work _at_all_ when we're now working with individually named bits rather than values that get masked. So the code tried to mark the state to be new, but in actual fact set the field to EXT3_STATE_JDATA. Which makes no sense at all, and screws up all the code that checks whether the inode was newly allocated. In particular, it made the xattr code unhappy, and caused various random behavior, like apparently https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=577911 So fix the initialization, and rename the field to match ext4 so that we don't have this happen again.

Official patch to fix the r8169 frame length check error. Based on this initial thread: http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=126202972828626&w=1 This is the official patch to fix the frame length problems in the r8169 driver. As noted in the previous thread, while this patch incurs a performance hit on the driver, its possible to improve performance dynamically by updating the mtu and rx_copybreak values at runtime to return performance to what it was for those NICS which are unaffected by the ideosyncracy (if there are any). Summary: A while back Eric submitted a patch for r8169 in which the proper allocated frame size was written to RXMaxSize to prevent the NIC from dmaing too much data. This was done in commit fdd7b4c3. A long time prior to that however, Francois posted 126fa4b9, which expiclitly disabled the MaxSize setting due to the fact that the hardware behaved in odd ways when overlong frames were received on NIC's supported by this driver. This was mentioned in a security conference recently: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2009/Fahrplan//events/3596.en.html It seems that if we can't enable frame size filtering, then, as Eric correctly noticed, we can find ourselves DMA-ing too much data to a buffer, causing corruption. As a result is seems that we are forced to allocate a frame which is ready to handle a maximally sized receive. This obviously has performance issues with it, so to mitigate that issue, this patch does two things: 1) Raises the copybreak value to the frame allocation size, which should force appropriately sized packets to get allocated on rx, rather than a full new 16k buffer. 2) This patch only disables frame filtering initially (i.e., during the NIC open), changing the MTU results in ring buffer allocation of a size in relation to the new mtu (along with a warning indicating that this is dangerous). Because of item (2), individuals who can't cope with the performance hit (or can otherwise filter frames to prevent the bug), or who have hardware they are sure is unaffected by this issue, can manually lower the copybreak and reset the mtu such that performance is restored easily.

For 32-bit processes, we save the full 64-bits of the regs in pt_regs. But unlike when the userspace actually does load and store instructions, the top 32-bits don't get automatically truncated by the cpu in kernel mode (because the kernel doesn't execute with PSTATE_AM address masking enabled). So we have to do it by hand. Reported-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

When CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM=y, it could use memory more effiently, or in a more compact fashion. Example: Allocated new RAMDISK: 00ec2000 - 0248ce57 Move RAMDISK from 000000002ea04000 - 000000002ffcee56 to 00ec2000 - 0248ce56 The new RAMDISK's end is not page aligned. Last page could be shared with other users. When free_init_pages are called for initrd or .init, the page could be freed and we could corrupt other data. code segment in free_init_pages(): | for (; addr < end; addr += PAGE_SIZE) { | ClearPageReserved(virt_to_page(addr)); | init_page_count(virt_to_page(addr)); | memset((void *)(addr & ~(PAGE_SIZE-1)), | POISON_FREE_INITMEM, PAGE_SIZE); | free_page(addr); | totalram_pages++; | } last half page could be used as one whole free page. So page align the boundaries. -v2: make the original initramdisk to be aligned, according to Johannes, otherwise we have the chance to lose one page. we still need to keep initrd_end not aligned, otherwise it could confuse decompressor. -v3: change to WARN_ON instead, suggested by Johannes. -v4: use PAGE_ALIGN, suggested by Johannes. We may fix that macro name later to PAGE_ALIGN_UP, and PAGE_ALIGN_DOWN Add comments about assuming ramdisk start is aligned in relocate_initrd(), change to re get ramdisk_image instead of save it to make diff smaller.
