Andrew Gallatin reported that IRQ and SOFTIRQ times were
sometime not reported correctly on recent kernels, and even
bisected to commit 457533a7d3402d1d91fbc125c8bd1bd16dcd3cd4
([PATCH] fix scaled & unscaled cputime accounting) as the first
bad commit.
account_process_tick() was not taking into account timer IRQ
interrupting the idle task servicing a hard or soft irq.
On mostly idle cpu, irqs were thus not accounted and top or
mpstat could tell user/admin that cpu was 100 % idle, 0.00 %
irq, 0.00 % softirq, while it was not.
[ Impact: fix occasionally incorrect CPU statistics in top/mpstat ]

Because NR_CPUS can be greater than 1000 and meminfo_proc_show() does
not check for underflow.
But NR_CPUS proportional isn't good calculation. In general,
possibility of lock contention is proportional to the number of online
cpus, not theorical maximum cpus (NR_CPUS).
The current kernel has generic percpu-counter stuff. using it is right
way. it makes code simplify and percpu_counter_read_positive() don't
make underflow issue.

madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) forces page cache readahead on a range of memory
backed by a file. The assumption is made that the page required is
order-0 and "normal" page cache.
On hugetlbfs, this assumption is not true and order-0 pages are
allocated and inserted into the hugetlbfs page cache. This leaks
hugetlbfs page reservations and can cause BUGs to trigger related to
corrupted page tables.
This patch causes MADV_WILLNEED to be ignored for hugetlbfs-backed
regions.
tick_handle_periodic() can lock up hard when a one shot clock event
device is used in combination with jiffies clocksource.
Avoid an endless loop issue by requiring that a highres valid
clocksource be installed before we call tick_periodic() in a loop when
using ONESHOT mode. The result is we will only increment jiffies once
per interrupt until a continuous hardware clocksource is available.
Without this, we can run into a endless loop, where each cycle through
the loop, jiffies is updated which increments time by tick_period or
more (due to clock steering), which can cause the event programming to
think the next event was before the newly incremented time and fail
causing tick_periodic() to be called again and the whole process loops
forever.

Currently, when OOM occurs during rx ring refill, mv643xx_eth will get
into an infinite loop, due to the refill function setting the OOM bit
but not clearing the 'rx refill needed' bit for this queue, while the
calling function (the NAPI poll handler) will call the refill function
in a loop until the 'rx refill needed' bit goes off, without checking
the OOM bit.
This patch fixes this by checking the OOM bit in the NAPI poll handler
before attempting to do rx refill. This means that once OOM occurs,
we won't try to do any memory allocations again until the next invocation
of the poll handler.
While we're at it, change the OOM flag to be a single bit instead of
one bit per receive queue since OOM is a system state rather than a
per-queue state, and cancel the OOM timer on entry to the NAPI poll
handler if it's running to prevent it from firing when we've already
come out of OOM.

On several mv643xx_eth hardware versions, the two 64bit mib counters
for 'good octets received' and 'good octets sent' are actually 32bit
counters, and reading from the upper half of the register has the same
effect as reading from the lower half of the register: an atomic
read-and-clear of the entire 32bit counter value. This can under heavy
traffic occasionally lead to small numbers being added to the upper
half of the 64bit mib counter even though no 32bit wrap has occured.
Since we poll the mib counters at least every 30 seconds anyway, we
might as well just skip the reads of the upper halves of the hardware
counters without breaking the stats, which this patch does.

write_lock(¤t->fs->lock) guarantees we can't wrongly miss
LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE, this is what we care about. Use rcu_read_lock()
instead of ->siglock to iterate over the sub-threads. We must see
all CLONE_THREAD|CLONE_FS threads which didn't pass exit_fs(), it
takes fs->lock too.
With or without this patch we can miss the freshly cloned thread
and set LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE, we don't care.
If do_execve() fails after check_unsafe_exec(), it clears fs->in_exec
unconditionally. This is wrong if we race with our sub-thread which
also does do_execve:
Two threads T1 and T2 and another process P, all share the same
->fs.
T1 starts do_execve(BAD_FILE). It calls check_unsafe_exec(), since
->fs is shared, we set LSM_UNSAFE but not ->in_exec.
P exits and decrements fs->users.
T2 starts do_execve(), calls check_unsafe_exec(), now ->fs is not
shared, we set fs->in_exec.
T1 continues, open_exec(BAD_FILE) fails, we clear ->in_exec and
return to the user-space.
T1 does clone(CLONE_FS /* without CLONE_THREAD */).
T2 continues without LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE while ->fs is shared with
another process.
Change check_unsafe_exec() to return res = 1 if we set ->in_exec, and change
do_execve() to clear ->in_exec depending on res.
When do_execve() suceeds, it is safe to clear ->in_exec unconditionally.
It can be set only if we don't share ->fs with another process, and since
we already killed all sub-threads either ->in_exec == 0 or we are the
only user of this ->fs.
Also, we do not need fs->lock to clear fs->in_exec.
* all changes of current->fs are done under task_lock and write_lock of
old fs->lock
* refcount is not atomic anymore (same protection)
* its decrements are done when removing reference from current; at the
same time we decide whether to free it.
* put_fs_struct() is gone
* new field - ->in_exec. Set by check_unsafe_exec() if we are trying to do
execve() and only subthreads share fs_struct. Cleared when finishing exec
(success and failure alike). Makes CLONE_FS fail with -EAGAIN if set.
* check_unsafe_exec() may fail with -EAGAIN if another execve() from subthread
is in progress.

Annotate struct fs_struct's usage count to indicate the restrictions upon it.
It may not be incremented, except by clone(CLONE_FS), as this affects the
check in check_unsafe_exec() in fs/exec.c.
check_unsafe_exec() also notes whether the fs_struct is being
shared by more threads than will get killed by the exec, and if so
sets LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE to make bprm_set_creds() careful about euid.
But /proc/<pid>/cwd and /proc/<pid>/root lookups make transient
use of get_fs_struct(), which also raises that sharing count.
This might occasionally cause a setuid program not to change euid,
in the same way as happened with files->count (check_unsafe_exec
also looks at sighand->count, but /proc doesn't raise that one).
We'd prefer exec not to unshare fs_struct: so fix this in procfs,
replacing get_fs_struct() by get_fs_path(), which does path_get
while still holding task_lock, instead of raising fs->count.
Joe Malicki reports that setuid sometimes doesn't: very rarely,
a setuid root program does not get root euid; and, by the way,
they have a health check running lsof every few minutes.
Right, check_unsafe_exec() notes whether the files_struct is being
shared by more threads than will get killed by the exec, and if so
sets LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE to make bprm_set_creds() careful about euid.
But /proc/<pid>/fd and /proc/<pid>/fdinfo lookups make transient
use of get_files_struct(), which also raises that sharing count.
There's a rather simple fix for this: exec's check on files->count
has been redundant ever since 2.6.1 made it unshare_files() (except
while compat_do_execve() omitted to do so) - just remove that check.
[Note to -stable: this patch will not apply before 2.6.29: earlier
releases should just remove the files->count line from unsafe_exec().]

2.6.26's commit fd8328be874f4190a811c58cd4778ec2c74d2c05
"sanitize handling of shared descriptor tables in failing execve()"
moved the unshare_files() from flush_old_exec() and several binfmts
to the head of do_execve(); but forgot to make the same change to
compat_do_execve(), leaving a CLONE_FILES files_struct shared across
exec from a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel.
It's arguable whether the files_struct really ought to be unshared
across exec; but 2.6.1 made that so to stop the loading binary's fd
leaking into other threads, and a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel
ought to behave in the same way as 32 on 32 and 64 on 64.
powerpc: Sanitize stack pointer in signal handling code
This has been backported to 2.6.29.x from commit efbda86098 in Linus' tree
On powerpc64 machines running 32-bit userspace, we can get garbage bits in the
stack pointer passed into the kernel. Most places handle this correctly, but
the signal handling code uses the passed value directly for allocating signal
stack frames.
This fixes the issue by introducing a get_clean_sp function that returns a
sanitized stack pointer. For 32-bit tasks on a 64-bit kernel, the stack
pointer is masked correctly. In all other cases, the stack pointer is simply
returned.
Additionally, we pass an 'is_32' parameter to get_sigframe now in order to
get the properly sanitized stack. The callers are know to be 32 or 64-bit
statically.
This patch (as1229-3) fixes a few lifetime and locking problems in the
usb-serial driver. The main symptom is that an invalid kevent is
created when the serial device is unplugged while a connection is
active.
Ports should be unregistered when device is disconnected,
not when the parent usb_serial structure is deallocated.
Each open file should hold a reference to the corresponding
port structure, and the reference should be released when
the file is closed.
serial->disc_mutex should be acquired in serial_open(), to
resolve the classic race between open and disconnect.
serial_close() doesn't need to hold both serial->disc_mutex
and port->mutex at the same time.
Release the subdriver's module reference only after releasing
all the other references, in case one of the release routines
needs to invoke some code in the subdriver module.
Replace a call to flush_scheduled_work() (which is prone to
deadlocks) with cancel_work_sync(). Also, add a call to
cancel_work_sync() in the disconnect routine.
Reduce the scope of serial->disc_mutex in serial_disconnect().
The only place it really needs to protect is where the
"disconnected" flag is set.
Call the shutdown method from within serial_disconnect()
instead of destroy_serial(), because some subdrivers expect
the port data structures still to be in existence when
their shutdown method runs.

While building the kernel, we end-up calling modpost with -K and -M
options for the same file (Modules.markers). This is resulting in
modpost's main function calling read_markers() and then write_markers() on
the same file.
We then have read_markers() mmap'ing the file, and writer_markers()
opening that same file for writing.
The issue is that read_markers() exits without munmap'ing the file and is
as a matter holding a reference on Modules.markers. When write_markers()
is opening that very same file for writing, we still have a reference on
it and cygwin (Windows?) is then making fopen() fail with EPERM.
Calling release_file() before exiting read_markers() clears that reference
(and memory leak) and fopen() then succeeds.
Tested on both cygwin (1.3.22) and Linux. Also ran modpost within
valgrind on Linux to make sure that the munmap'ed file was not accessed
after read_markers()

This patch corrects a pretty big oversight in the KMS code for 965+
chips. The current code is missing tiled surface register programming,
so userland can allocate a tiled surface and use it for mode setting,
resulting in corruption. This patch fixes that, allowing for tiled
front buffers on 965+.
st driver uses blk_rq_map_user() in order to just build a request out
of page frames. In this case, map_data->offset is a non zero value and
iov[0].iov_base is NULL. We need to increase nr_pages for that.
Without this patch, Broadcom BCM5906 Ethernet controllers set up via MSI
cause the machine to hang. Tejun agreed that the best is to blacklist
the whole chipset and after adding it, seeing the other VIA quirks
disabling MSI, this very much looks like the right way.
In 64bit signal delivery path, clear_used_math() was happening before saving
the current active FPU state on to the user stack for signal handling. Between
clear_used_math() and the state store on to the user stack, potentially we
can get a page fault for the user address and can block. Infact, while testing
we were hitting the might_fault() in __clear_user() which can do a schedule().
At a later point in time, we will schedule back into this process and
resume the save state (using "xsave/fxsave" instruction) which can lead
to DNA fault. And as used_math was cleared before, we will reinit the FP state
in the DNA fault and continue. This reinit will result in loosing the
FPU state of the process.
Move clear_used_math() to a point after the FPU state has been stored
onto the user stack.
This issue is present from a long time (even before the xsave changes
and the x86 merge). But it can easily be exposed in 2.6.28.x and 2.6.29.x
series because of the __clear_user() in this path, which has an explicit
__cond_resched() leading to a context switch with CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY.

The set_blink hook code in the LED subdriver would never manage to get
a LED to blink, and instead it would just turn it on. The consequence
of this is that the "timer" trigger would not cause the LED to blink
if given default parameters.
This problem exists since 2.6.26-rc1.
To fix it, switch the deferred LED work handling to use the

The RX buffer poison needs to be refreshed, if we recycle an RX buffer,

This patch adds poisoning and sanity checking to the RX DMA buffers.
This is used for protection against buggy hardware/firmware that raises
RX interrupts without doing an actual DMA transfer.
This mechanism protects against rare "bad packets" (due to uninitialized skb data)
and rare kernel crashes due to uninitialized RX headers.
The poison is selected to not match on valid frames and to be cheap for checking.
The poison check mechanism _might_ trigger incorrectly, if we are voluntarily
receiving frames with bad PLCP headers. However, this is nonfatal, because the
chance of such a match is basically zero and in case it happens it just results
in dropping the packet.
Bad-PLCP RX defaults to off, and you should leave it off unless you want to listen
to the latest news broadcasted by your microwave oven.
This patch also moves the initialization of the RX-header "length" field in front of
the mapping of the DMA buffer. The CPU should not touch the buffer after we mapped it.

Currently rx status for frames which are completed from reorder buffer
is taken from it's cb area which is not always right, cb is not holding
the rx status when driver uses mac80211's non-irq rx handler to pass it's
received frames. This results in dropping almost all frames from reorder
buffer when security is enabled by doing double decryption (first in hw,
second in sw because of wrong rx status). This patch copies rx status into
cb area before the frame is put into reorder buffer. After this patch,
there is a significant improvement in throughput with ath9k + WPA2(AES).

Fix a zero address hole bug in the bonding arp_ip_target list
that was causing the bond to ignore ARP replies (bugz 13006).
Instead of just setting the array entry to zero, we now
copy any additional entries down one slot, putting the
zero entry at the end. With this change we can now have
all the loops that walk the array stop when they hit a zero
since there will be no addresses after it.

The BUG_ON(skge->tx_ring.to_use != skge->tx_ring.to_clean) in skge_up()
was sometimes observed when setting MTU.
skge_down() disables the TX queue, but then reenables it by mistake via
skge_tx_clean().
Fix it by moving the waking of the queue from skge_tx_clean() to the
other caller. And to make sure start_xmit is not in progress on another
CPU, skge_down() should call netif_tx_disable().

Commit ae46141ff08f1965b17c531b571953c39ce8b9e2 (NFSv3: Fix posix ACL code)
introduces a bug in the calculation of the XDR header iovec. In the case
where we are inlining the acls, we need to adjust the length of the iovec
req->rq_svec, in addition to adjusting the total buffer length.
When GRO/frag_list support was added to GSO, I made an error
which broke the support for segmenting linear GSO packets (GSO
packets are normally non-linear in the payload).
These days most of these packets are constructed by the tun
driver, which prefers to allocate linear memory if possible.
This is fixed in the latest kernel, but for 2.6.29 and earlier
it is still the norm.
Therefore this bug causes failures with GSO when used with tun
in 2.6.29.

approach would be for the driver to request a type for a bigger

mmap time or driver init time and just use that type during

When kvm emulates an invlpg instruction, it can drop a shadow pte, but

Without this the other cpu can still write to a freed host physical page.
tlb smp flush must happen if rmap_remove is called always before mmu_lock
is released because the VM will take the mmu_lock before it can finally add
the page to the freelist after swapout. mmu notifier makes it safe to flush
the tlb after freeing the page (otherwise it would never be safe) so we can do
a single flush for multiple sptes invalidated.

sg_rq_end_io() is called via rq->end_io. In some rare cases,
sg_rq_end_io calls blk_put_request/blk_rq_unmap_user (when a program
issuing a command has gone before the command completion; e.g. by
interrupting a program issuing a command before the command
completes).
The problem is that scsi_error_handler() calls rq->end_io too. We
can't call blk_put_request/blk_rq_unmap_user too in this path (we hold
q->queue_lock).
To avoid the above problem, in these rare cases, this patch always
uses schedule_work() instead of execute_in_process_context().

You can reproduce this bug by interrupting a program before a sg
response completes. This leads to the special sg state (the orphan
state), then sg calls blk_put_request in interrupt (rq->end_io).
The above bug report shows the recursive lock problem because sg calls
blk_put_request in interrupt. We could call __blk_put_request here
instead however we also need to handle blk_rq_unmap_user here, which
can't be called in interrupt too.
In the orphan state, we don't need to care about the data transfer
(the program revoked the command) so adding 'just free the resource'
mode to blk_rq_unmap_user is a possible option.
I prefer to avoid complicating the blk mapping API when possible. I
change the orphan state to call sg_finish_rem_req via
execute_in_process_context. We hold sg_fd->kref so sg_fd doesn't go
away until keventd_wq finishes our work. copy_from_user/to_user fails
so blk_rq_unmap_user just frees the resource without the data
transfer.

sg_io_owned needs to be set before the command is sent to the midlevel;
otherwise, a quickly-completing command may cause a different CPU
to see "srp->done == 1 && !srp->sg_io_owned", which would lead to
incorrect behavior.
Check srp->done and set srp->orphan while holding rq_list_lock to
prevent races with sg_rq_end_io().
There is no need to check sfp->closed from read/write/ioctl/poll/etc.
since the kernel guarantees that this won't happen.

sg has the following problems related to device removal:
* opening a sg fd races with removing a device
* closing a sg fd races with removing a device
* /proc/scsi/sg/* access races with removing a device
* command completion races with removing a device
* command completion races with closing a sg fd
* can rmmod sg with active commands
These problems can cause kernel oopses, memory-use-after-free, or
double-free errors. This patch fixes these problems by using krefs
to manage the lifetime of sg_device and sg_fd.
Each command submitted to the midlevel holds a reference to sg_fd
until the completion callback. This ensures that sg_fd doesn't go
away if the fd is closed with commands still outstanding.
sg_fd gets the reference of sg_device (with scsi_device) and also
makes sure that the sg module doesn't go away.
/proc/scsi/sg/* functions don't play nicely with krefs because they
give information about sg_fds which have been closed but not yet
freed due to still having outstanding commands and sg_devices which
have been removed but not yet freed due to still being referenced
by one or more sg_fds. To deal with this safely without removing
functionality, /proc functions now access sg_device and sg_fd while
holding a lock instead of using kref_get()/kref_put().

During irq migration, we send a low priority interrupt to the previous
irq destination. This happens in non interrupt-remapping case after interrupt
starts arriving at new destination and in interrupt-remapping case after
modifying and flushing the interrupt-remapping table entry caches.
This low priority irq cleanup handler can cleanup multiple vectors, as
multiple irq's can be migrated at almost the same time. While
there will be multiple invocations of irq cleanup handler (one cleanup
IPI for each irq migration), first invocation of the cleanup handler
can potentially cleanup more than one vector (as the first invocation can
see the requests for more than vector cleanup). When we cleanup multiple
vectors during the first invocation of the smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt(),
other vectors that are to be cleanedup can still be pending in the local
cpu's IRR (as smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt() runs with interrupts disabled).
When we are ready to unhook a vector corresponding to an irq, check if that
vector is registered in the local cpu's IRR. If so skip that cleanup and
do a self IPI with the cleanup vector, so that we give a chance to
service the pending vector interrupt and then cleanup that vector
allocation once we execute the lowest priority handler.
This fixes spurious interrupts seen when migrating multiple vectors
at the same time.

the best of our knowledge it has never been seen. The stable
maintainers may wish to consider this one for -stable. ]

Freezing tasks via the cgroup freezer causes the load average to climb
because the freezer's current implementation puts frozen tasks in
uninterruptible sleep (D state).
Some applications which perform job-scheduling functions consult the
load average when making decisions. If a cgroup is frozen, the load
average does not provide a useful measure of the system's utilization
to such applications. This is especially inconvenient if the job
scheduler employs the cgroup freezer as a mechanism for preempting low
priority jobs. Contrast this with using SIGSTOP for the same purpose:
the stopped tasks do not count toward system load.
Change task_contributes_to_load() to return false if the task is
frozen. This results in /proc/loadavg behavior that better meets
users' expectations.
