S390 futex: let futex_atomic_cmpxchg_pt survive early functional tests.
a0c1e9073ef7428a14309cba010633a6cd6719ea "futex: runtime enable pi and
robust functionality" introduces a test wether futex in atomic stuff
works or not.
It does that by writing to address 0 of the kernel address space. This
will crash on older machines where addressing mode switching is enabled
but where the mvcos instruction is not available. Page table walking is
done by hand and therefore the code tries to access current->mm which
is NULL.
Therefore add an extra check, so we survive the early test.

slab: NUMA slab allocator migration bugfix
NUMA slab allocator cpu migration bugfix
The NUMA slab allocator (specifically, cache_alloc_refill)
is not refreshing its local copies of what cpu and what
numa node it is on, when it drops and reacquires the irq
block that it inherited from its caller. As a result
those values become invalid if an attempt to migrate the
process to another numa node occured while the irq block
had been dropped.
The solution is to make cache_alloc_refill reload these
variables whenever it drops and reacquires the irq block.
The error is very difficult to hit. When it does occur,
one gets the following oops + stack traceback bits in
check_spinlock_acquired:

My group ran into a AIO process hang on a 2.6.24 kernel with the process
sleeping indefinitely in io_getevents(2) waiting for the last wakeup to come
and it never would.
We ran the tests on x86_64 SMP. The hang only occurred on a Xeon box
("Clovertown") but not a Core2Duo ("Conroe"). On the Xeon, the L2 cache isn't
shared between all eight processors, but is L2 is shared between between all
two processors on the Core2Duo we use.
My analysis of the hang is if you go down to the second while-loop
in read_events(), what happens on processor #1:
1) add_wait_queue_exclusive() adds thread to ctx->wait
2) aio_read_evt() to check tail
3) if aio_read_evt() returned 0, call [io_]schedule() and sleep
In aio_complete() with processor #2:
A) info->tail = tail;
B) waitqueue_active(&ctx->wait)
C) if waitqueue_active() returned non-0, call wake_up()
The way the code is written, step 1 must be seen by all other processors
before processor 1 checks for pending events in step 2 (that were recorded by
step A) and step A by processor 2 must be seen by all other processors
(checked in step 2) before step B is done.
The race I believed I was seeing is that steps 1 and 2 were
effectively swapped due to the __list_add() being delayed by the L2
cache not shared by some of the other processors. Imagine:
proc 2: just before step A
proc 1, step 1: adds to ctx->wait, but is not visible by other processors yet
proc 1, step 2: checks tail and sees no pending events
proc 2, step A: updates tail
proc 1, step 3: calls [io_]schedule() and sleeps
proc 2, step B: checks ctx->wait, but sees no one waiting, skips wakeup
so proc 1 sleeps indefinitely
My patch adds a memory barrier between steps A and B. It ensures that the
update in step 1 gets seen on processor 2 before continuing. If processor 1
was just before step 1, the memory barrier makes sure that step A (update
tail) gets seen by the time processor 1 makes it to step 2 (check tail).
Before the patch our AIO process would hang virtually 100% of the time. After
the patch, we have yet to see the process ever hang.

Fix a hard to trigger crash seen in the -rt kernel that also affects
the vanilla scheduler.
There is a race condition between schedule() and some dequeue/enqueue
functions; rt_mutex_setprio(), __setscheduler() and sched_move_task().
When scheduling to idle, idle_balance() is called to pull tasks from
other busy processor. It might drop the rq lock. It means that those 3
functions encounter on_rq=0 and running=1. The current task should be
put when running.
The current process of CPU1(P1) is scheduling. Deactivated P1, and the
scheduler looks for another process on other CPU's runqueue because CPU1
will be idle. idle_balance(), load_balance_newidle() and
double_lock_balance() are called and double_lock_balance() could drop
the rq lock. On the other hand, CPU0 is trying to boost the priority of
P1. The result of boosting only P1's prio and sched_class are changed to
RT. The sched entities of P1 and P1's group are never put. It makes
cfs_rq invalid, because the cfs_rq has curr and no leaf, but
pick_next_task_fair() is called, then the kernel panics.

following this patch is a cleanup that removes the home cooked accessors
and reverts them to regular scsi_cmnd accessors. Since they are not used
anymore. After review maybe the 2 patches should be squashed together.

When sending a SCSI command to a tape drive via the SCSI Generic (sg)
driver, if the command has a data transfer length more than
scatter_elem_sz (32 KB default) and not a multiple of 512, then I either
hit BUG_ON(!valid_dma_direction(direction)) in dma_unmap_sg() or else
the command never completes (depending on the LLDD).
When constructing scatterlists, the sg driver rounds up the scatterlist
element sizes to be a multiple of 512. This can result in
sum(scatterlist lengths) > bufflen. In this case, scsi_req_map_sg()
incorrectly sets bio->bi_size to sum(scatterlist lengths) rather than to
bufflen. When the command completes, req_bio_endio() detects that
bio->bi_size != 0, and so it doesn't call bio_endio(). This causes the
command to be resubmitted, resulting in BUG_ON or the command never
completing.
This patch makes scsi_req_map_sg() set bio->bi_size to bufflen rather
than to sum(scatterlist lengths), which fixes the problem.

The atmel_spi driver does not initialize clock polarity correctly (except for
at91rm9200 CS0 channel) in some case.
The atmel_spi driver uses gpio-controlled chipselect. OTOH spi clock signal
is controlled by CSRn.CPOL bit, but this register controls clock signal
correctly only in 'real transfer' duration. At the time of cs_activate()
call, CSRn.CPOL will be initialized correctly, but the controller do not know
which channel is to be used next, so clock signal will stay at the inactive
state of last transfer. If clock polarity of new transfer and last transfer
was differ, new transfer will start with wrong clock signal state.
For example, if you started SPI MODE 2 or 3 transfer after SPI MODE 0 or 1
transfer, the clock signal state at the assertion of chipselect will be low.
Of course this will violates SPI transfer.
This patch is short term solution for this problem. It makes all CSRn.CPOL
match for the transfer before activating chipselect. For longer term, the
best fix might be to let NPCS0 stay selected permanently in MR and overwrite
CSR0 with to the new slave's settings before asserting CS.

(4) Remove some magic numbers in the DMA setup.
The DMA implementation for this chip supports full 64-bit addressing with
one exception. Whenever the Descriptor Ring Buffer is in high memory, a
fatal DMA error occurs. This problem was not present in 2.6.24-rc2 due
to code to "Bias the placement of kernel pages at lower PFNs". When
commit 44048d70 reverted that code, the DMA error appeared. As a "fix",
use the GFP_DMA flag when allocating the buffer for 64-bit DMA. At present,

The problem is that struct asc_dvc_var is placed on
shost->hostdata. So if the hostdata is not on an 8 byte boundary, the
advansys crashes. The hostdata is placed on a sizeof(unsigned long)
boundary so the 8 byte boundary is not garanteed with x86_32.
With 2.6.23 and 2.6.24, the hostdata is on an 8 byte boundary by
chance, but with the current git, it's not.

Fixes a sequencing bug in spi driver pxa2xx_spi.c in which the chip select
for a transfer may be asserted before the clock polarity is set on the
interface. As a result of this bug, the clock signal may have the wrong
polarity at transfer start, so it may need to make an extra half transition
before the intended clock/data signals begin. (This probably means all
transfers are one bit out of sequence.)
This only occurs on the first transfer following a change in clock polarity
in systems using more than one more than one such polarity. The fix
assures that the clock mode is properly set before asserting chip select.
This bug was introduced in a patch merged on 2006/12/10, kernel 2.6.20.

Not all architectures implement futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(). The default
implementation returns -ENOSYS, which is currently not handled inside of the
futex guts.
Futex PI calls and robust list exits with a held futex result in an endless
loop in the futex code on architectures which have no support.
Fixing up every place where futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() is called would
add a fair amount of extra if/else constructs to the already complex code. It
is also not possible to disable the robust feature before user space tries to
register robust lists.
Compile time disabling is not a good idea either, as there are already
architectures with runtime detection of futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic support.
Detect the functionality at runtime instead by calling
cmpxchg_futex_value_locked() with a NULL pointer from the futex initialization
code. This is guaranteed to fail, but the call of
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() happens with pagefaults disabled.
On architectures, which use the asm-generic implementation or have a runtime
CPU feature detection, a -ENOSYS return value disables the PI/robust features.
On architectures with a working implementation the call returns -EFAULT and
the PI/robust features are enabled.
The relevant syscalls return -ENOSYS and the robust list exit code is blocked,
when the detection fails.

then a futex syscall which tries to enqueue a waiter on the hashqueue will

The exception fixup for the futex macros __futex_atomic_op1/2 and
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() is missing an entry when the lock
prefix is replaced by a NOP via SMP alternatives.
Chuck Ebert tracked this down from the information provided in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=429412
A possible solution would be to add another fixup after the
LOCK_PREFIX, so both the LOCK and NOP case have their own entry in the
exception table, but it's not really worth the trouble.
Simply replace LOCK_PREFIX with lock and keep those untouched by SMP
alternatives.

This patch fixes a DHCP issue of the kernel: some DHCP servers

of the DHCPDISCOVER packet they receive from clients.
Table 5 in RFC2131 page 36 requests the fields 'ciaddr' and
'siaddr' MUST be set to '0'. These DHCP servers ignore Linux
kernel's DHCP discovery packets with these two fields set to
'255.255.255.255' (in contrast to popular DHCP clients, such as
'dhclient' or 'udhcpc'). This leads to a not booting system.

Various RFCs have all sorts of things to say about the CS field of the
DSCP value. In particular they try to make the distinction between
values that should be used by "user applications" and things like
routing daemons.
This seems to have influenced the CAP_NET_ADMIN check which exists for
IP_TOS socket option settings, but in fact it has an off-by-one error
so it wasn't allowing CS5 which is meant for "user applications" as
well.
Further adding to the inconsistency and brokenness here, IPV6 does not
validate the DSCP values specified for the IPV6_TCLASS socket option.
The real actual uses of these TOS values are system specific in the
final analysis, and these RFC recommendations are just that, "a
recommendation". In fact the standards very purposefully use
"SHOULD" and "SHOULD NOT" when describing how these values can be
used.
In the final analysis the only clean way to provide consistency here
is to remove the CAP_NET_ADMIN check. The alternatives just don't
work out:
1) If we add the CAP_NET_ADMIN check to ipv6, this can break existing
setups.
2) If we just fix the off-by-one error in the class comparison in
IPV4, certain DSCP values can be used in IPV6 but not IPV4 by
default. So people will just ask for a sysctl asking to
override that.
I checked several other freely available kernel trees and they
do not make any privilege checks in this area like we do. For

This is a long-standing bug in the IPsec IPv6 code that breaks
when we emit a IPsec tunnel-mode datagram packet. The problem
is that the code the emits the packet assumes the IPv6 stack
will fragment it later, but the IPv6 stack assumes that whoever
is emitting the packet is going to pre-fragment the packet.
In the long term we need to fix both sides, e.g., to get the
datagram code to pre-fragment as well as to get the IPv6 stack
to fragment locally generated tunnel-mode packet.
For now this patch does the second part which should make it

If all of the entropy is in the local and foreign addresses,
but xor'ing together would cancel out that entropy, the
current hash performs poorly.
Suggested by Cosmin Ratiu:
Basically, the situation is as follows: There is a client
machine and a server machine. Both create 15000 virtual
interfaces, open up a socket for each pair of interfaces and
do SIP traffic. By profiling I noticed that there is a lot of
time spent walking the established hash chains with this
particular setup.
The addresses were distributed like this: client interfaces
were 198.18.0.1/16 with increments of 1 and server interfaces
were 198.18.128.1/16 with increments of 1. As I said, there
were 15000 interfaces. Source and destination ports were 5060
for each connection. So in this case, ports don't matter for
hashing purposes, and the bits from the address pairs used
cancel each other, meaning there are no differences in the
whole lot of pairs, so they all end up in the same hash chain.

fix CPA cache attribute bug in v2.6.24. When phys_base is nonzero (when
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) then change_page_attr_addr() miscalculates the
secondary alias address by -14 MB (depending on the configured offset).
The default 64-bit kernels of Fedora and Ubuntu are affected:
the bug affects all pages in the first 40 MB of physical RAM that
are allocated by some subsystem that does ioremap_nocache() on them:
if (__pa(address) < KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE) {
Hence we might leave page table entries with inconsistent cache
attributes around (pages mapped at both UnCacheable and Write-Back),
and we can also set the wrong kernel text pages to UnCacheable.
the effects of this bug can be random slowdowns and other misbehavior.
If for example AGP allocates its aperture pages into the first 40 MB
of physical RAM, then the -14 MB bug might mark random kernel texto
pages as uncacheable, slowing down a random portion of the 64-bit
kernel until the AGP driver is unloaded.

Megahertz EM1144 PCMCIA ethernet adapter needs special handling
because it has two VERS_1 tuples and the station address is in
the second one. Conversion to generic handling of these fields
broke it. Reverting that fixes the device.
The patch: "gdth: switch to modern scsi host registration"
missed one simple fact when moving a way from scsi_module.c.
That is to call scsi_scan_host() on the probed host.
With this the gdth driver from 2.6.24 is again able to
see drives and boot.

Add missing exception table entry so that the kernel can handle
proctection exceptions as well on the cs instruction. Currently only
specification exceptions are handled correctly.
The missing entry allows user space to crash the kernel.
It removed the mask function in favour of the default delayed
interrupt disabling. Unfortunately this also broke the shutdown in
free_irq() when the last handler is removed from the interrupt for
those architectures which rely on the default implementations. Now we
can end up with a enabled interrupt line after the last handler was
removed, which can result in spurious interrupts.
Fix this by adding a default_shutdown function, which is only
installed, when the irqchip implementation does provide neither a
shutdown nor a disable function.

A CLOCK_REALTIME timer, which has an absolute expiry time less than
the clock realtime offset calls with a negative delta into the clock
events code and triggers the WARN_ON() there.
This is a false positive and needs to be prevented. Check the result
of timer->expires - timer->base->offset right away and return -ETIME
right away.

Various user space callers ask for relative timeouts. While we fixed
that overflow issue in hrtimer_start(), the sites which convert
relative user space values to absolute timeouts themself were uncovered.
Instead of putting overflow checks into each place add a function
which does the sanity checking and convert all affected callers to use
it.

hrtimer_nanosleep() sets restart_block->arg1 = rmtp, but this rmtp points to
the local variable which lives in the caller's stack frame. This means that
if sys_restart_syscall() actually happens and it is interrupted as well, we
don't update the user-space variable, but write into the already dead stack
frame.
Change the callers to pass "__user *rmtp" to hrtimer_nanosleep(), and change
hrtimer_nanosleep() to use copy_to_user() to actually update *rmtp.
Small problem remains. man 2 nanosleep states that *rtmp should be written if
nanosleep() was interrupted (it says nothing whether it is OK to update *rmtp
if nanosleep returns 0), but (with or without this patch) we can dirty *rem
even if nanosleep() returns 0.
NOTE: this patch doesn't change compat_sys_nanosleep(), because it has other
bugs. Fixed by the next patch.

It appears that with the U3 northbridge, if the processor is in NAP
mode the whole time while waiting for an SMU command to complete,
then the SMU will fail. It could be related to the weird backward
mechanism the SMU uses to get to system memory via i2c to the
northbridge that doesn't operate properly when the said bridge is
in napping along with the CPU. That is on U3 at least, U4 doesn't
seem to be affected.
This didn't show before NO_HZ as the timer wakeup was enough to make
it work it seems, but that is no longer the case.
This fixes it by disabling NAP mode on those machines while
an SMU command is in flight.

So I spent a while pounding my head against my monitor trying to figure
out the vmsplice() vulnerability - how could a failure to check for
*read* access turn into a root exploit? It turns out that it's a buffer
overflow problem which is made easy by the way get_user_pages() is
coded.
In particular, "len" is a signed int, and it is only checked at the
*end* of a do {} while() loop. So, if it is passed in as zero, the loop
will execute once and decrement len to -1. At that point, the loop will
proceed until the next invalid address is found; in the process, it will
likely overflow the pages array passed in to get_user_pages().
I think that, if get_user_pages() has been asked to grab zero pages,
that's what it should do. Thus this patch; it is, among other things,
enough to block the (already fixed) root exploit and any others which
might be lurking in similar code. I also think that the number of pages
should be unsigned, but changing the prototype of this function probably
requires some more careful review.
The recent UDP patch exposed this bug in the audit code. It
was calling pskb_expand_head without increasing skb->truesize.
The caller of pskb_expand_head needs to do so because that function
is designed to be called in places where truesize is already fixed
and therefore it doesn't update its value.
Because the audit system is using it in a place where the truesize
has not yet been fixed, it needs to update its value manually.

When ip_fragment has to hit the slow path the value of skb->truesize

Fixes: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9825
The inet_diag_lock_handler function uses ERR_PTR to encode errors but
its callers were testing against NULL.
This only happens when the only inet_diag modular user, DCCP, is not
built into the kernel or available as a module.
Also there was a problem with not dropping the mutex lock when a handler
was not found, also fixed in this patch.
This caused an OOPS and ss would then hang on subsequent calls, as
&inet_diag_table_mutex was being left locked.
Thanks to spike at ml.yaroslavl.ru for report it after trying 'ss -d'
on a kernel that doesn't have DCCP available.
This bug was introduced in cset d523a328fb0271e1a763e985a21f2488fd816e7e ("Fix inet_diag dead-lock
regression"), after 2.6.24-rc3, so just 2.6.24 seems to be affected.
