Network namespace in the Phonet socket stack causes an OOPS when a
namespace is destroyed. This occurs as the loopback exit_net handler is
called after the Phonet exit_net handler, and re-enters the Phonet
stack. I cannot think of any nice way to fix this in kernel <= 2.6.32.
For lack of a better solution, disable namespace support completely.
If you need that, upgrade to a newer kernel.

An execve with a very large total of argument/environment strings
can take a really long time in the execve system call. It runs
uninterruptibly to count and copy all the strings. This change
makes it abort the exec quickly if sent a SIGKILL.
Note that this is the conservative change, to interrupt only for
SIGKILL, by using fatal_signal_pending(). It would be perfectly
correct semantics to let any signal interrupt the string-copying in
execve, i.e. use signal_pending() instead of fatal_signal_pending().
We'll save that change for later, since it could have user-visible
consequences, such as having a timer set too quickly make it so that
an execve can never complete, though it always happened to work before.
This adds a preemption point during the copying of the argument and
environment strings for execve, in copy_strings(). There is already
a preemption point in the count() loop, so this doesn't add any new
points in the abstract sense.
When the total argument+environment strings are very large, the time
spent copying them can be much more than a normal user time slice.
So this change improves the interactivity of the rest of the system
when one process is doing an execve with very large arguments.
The CONFIG_STACK_GROWSDOWN variant of setup_arg_pages() does not
check the size of the argument/environment area on the stack.
When it is unworkably large, shift_arg_pages() hits its BUG_ON.
This is exploitable with a very large RLIMIT_STACK limit, to
create a crash pretty easily.
Check that the initial stack is not too large to make it possible
to map in any executable. We're not checking that the actual
executable (or intepreter, for binfmt_elf) will fit. So those
mappings might clobber part of the initial stack mapping. But
that is just userland lossage that userland made happen, not a
kernel problem.
Some extra CPU features such as ARAT is needed in early boot so
that x86_init function pointers can be set up properly.

At start_kernel() level, this patch moves init_scattered_cpuid_features()
from check_bugs() to setup_arch() -> early_cpu_init() which is earlier than

As early setup calls down to slb_initialize(), we must have kstack
initialised before checking "should we add a bolted SLB entry for our kstack?"
Failing to do so means stack access requires an SLB miss exception to refill
an entry dynamically, if the stack isn't accessible via SLB(0) (kernel text
& static data). It's not always allowable to take such a miss, and
intermittent crashes will result.
Primary CPUs don't have this issue; an SLB entry is not bolted for their
stack anyway (as that lives within SLB(0)). This patch therefore only
affects the init of secondaries.

multicast_list currently crashes. This is due a wrong maximum of multicast
entries. This patch fixes the following issues with multicast:
- number of maximum entries if off-by-one (4 instead of 3)
- the writing of the hash table index is not necessary and leads to invalid
values being written into the MCR1 register, so the MAC is simply put in a non
coherent state
- when we exceed the maximum number of mutlticast address, writing the
broadcast address should be done in registers MID_1{L,M,H} instead of
MID_O{L,M,H}, otherwise we would loose the adapter's MAC address

This patch fixes the condition (3rd arg) passed to sk_wait_event() in
sk_stream_wait_memory(). The incorrect check in sk_stream_wait_memory()
causes the following soft lockup in tcp_sendmsg() when the global tcp
memory pool has exhausted.
What is happening is, that the sk_wait_event() condition passed from
sk_stream_wait_memory() evaluates to true for the case of tcp global memory
exhaustion. This is because both sk_stream_memory_free() and vm_wait are true
which causes sk_wait_event() to *not* call schedule_timeout().
Hence sk_stream_wait_memory() returns immediately to the caller w/o sleeping.
This causes the caller to again try allocation, which again fails and again
calls sk_stream_wait_memory(), and so on.

tcp_sendmsg() truncates iov_len to an 'int' which a 4GB write to write

There is also the problem higher up of how verify_iovec() works. It
wants to prevent the total length from looking like an error return
value.
However it does this using 'int', but syscalls return 'long' (and
thus signed 64-bit on 64-bit machines). So it could trigger
false-positives on 64-bit as written. So fix it to use 'long'.

Don't try to "optimize" rds_page_copy_user() by using kmap_atomic() and
the unsafe atomic user mode accessor functions. It's actually slower
than the straightforward code on any reasonable modern CPU.
Back when the code was written (although probably not by the time it was
actually merged, though), 32-bit x86 may have been the dominant
architecture. And there kmap_atomic() can be a lot faster than kmap()
(unless you have very good locality, in which case the virtual address
caching by kmap() can overcome all the downsides).
But these days, x86-64 may not be more populous, but it's getting there
(and if you care about performance, it's definitely already there -
you'd have upgraded your CPU's already in the last few years). And on
x86-64, the non-kmap_atomic() version is faster, simply because the code
is simpler and doesn't have the "re-try page fault" case.
People with old hardware are not likely to care about RDS anyway, and
the optimization for the 32-bit case is simply buggy, since it doesn't
verify the user addresses properly.

This fixes possible cases of not collecting valid error info in
the MCE error thresholding groups on F10h hardware.
The current code contains a subtle problem of checking only the
Valid bit of MSR0000_0413 (which is MC4_MISC0 - DRAM
thresholding group) in its first iteration and breaking out if
the bit is cleared.
But (!), this MSR contains an offset value, BlkPtr[31:24], which
points to the remaining MSRs in this thresholding group which
might contain valid information too. But if we bail out only
after we checked the valid bit in the first MSR and not the
block pointer too, we miss that other information.
The thing is, MC4_MISC0[BlkPtr] is not predicated on
MCi_STATUS[MiscV] or MC4_MISC0[Valid] and should be checked
prior to iterating over the MCI_MISCj thresholding group,
irrespective of the MC4_MISC0[Valid] setting.
adapter->cmb.cmb is initialized when the device is opened and freed when
it's closed. Accessing it unconditionally during resume results either
in a crash (NULL pointer dereference, when the interface has not been
opened yet) or data corruption (when the interface has been used and
brought down adapter->cmb.cmb points to a deallocated memory area).

Time stamps for the ring buffer are created by the difference between
two events. Each page of the ring buffer holds a full 64 bit timestamp.
Each event has a 27 bit delta stamp from the last event. The unit of time
is nanoseconds, so 27 bits can hold ~134 milliseconds. If two events
happen more than 134 milliseconds apart, a time extend is inserted
to add more bits for the delta. The time extend has 59 bits, which
is good for ~18 years.
Currently the time extend is committed separately from the event.
If an event is discarded before it is committed, due to filtering,
the time extend still exists. If all events are being filtered, then
after ~134 milliseconds a new time extend will be added to the buffer.
This can only happen till the end of the page. Since each page holds
a full timestamp, there is no reason to add a time extend to the
beginning of a page. Time extends can only fill a page that has actual
data at the beginning, so there is no fear that time extends will fill
more than a page without any data.
When reading an event, a loop is made to skip over time extends
since they are only used to maintain the time stamp and are never
given to the caller. As a paranoid check to prevent the loop running
forever, with the knowledge that time extends may only fill a page,
a check is made that tests the iteration of the loop, and if the
iteration is more than the number of time extends that can fit in a page
a warning is printed and the ring buffer is disabled (all of ftrace
is also disabled with it).
There is another event type that is called a TIMESTAMP which can
hold 64 bits of data in the theoretical case that two events happen
18 years apart. This code has not been implemented, but the name
of this event exists, as well as the structure for it. The
size of a TIMESTAMP is 16 bytes, where as a time extend is only
8 bytes. The macro used to calculate how many time extends can fit on
a page used the TIMESTAMP size instead of the time extend size
cutting the amount in half.
The following test case can easily trigger the warning since we only
need to have half the page filled with time extends to trigger the
warning:
Enabling the function tracer and then setting the filter to only trace
functions where the process id is negative (no events), then clearing
the trace buffer to ensure that we have nothing in the buffer,
then write to trace_marker to add an event to the beginning of a page,
sleep for 2 minutes (only 35 seconds is probably needed, but this
guarantees the bug), and then finally reading the trace which will
trigger the bug.
This patch fixes the typo and prevents the false positive of that warning.

Commit f81f2f7c (ubd: drop unnecessary rq->sector manipulation)
dropped request->sector manipulation in preparation for global request
handling cleanup; unfortunately, it incorrectly assumed that the
updated sector wasn't being used.
ubd tries to issue as many requests as possible to io_thread. When
issuing fails due to memory pressure or other reasons, the device is
put on the restart list and issuing stops. On IO completion, devices
on the restart list are scanned and IO issuing is restarted.
ubd issues IOs sg-by-sg and issuing can be stopped in the middle of a
request, so each device on the restart queue needs to remember where
to restart in its current request. ubd needs to keep track of the
issue position itself because,
* blk_rq_pos(req) is now updated by the block layer to keep track of
_completion_ position.
* Multiple io_req's for the current request may be in flight, so it's
difficult to tell where blk_rq_pos(req) currently is.
Add ubd->rq_pos to keep track of the issue position and use it to
correctly restart io_req issue.

Fixed JSIOCSAXMAP ioctl to update absmap, the map from hardware axis to

by 999b874f.
The compat code for the VIDIOCSMICROCODE ioctl is totally buggered.
It's only used by the VIDEO_STRADIS driver, and that one is scheduled to
staging and eventually removed unless somebody steps up to maintain it
(at which point it should use request_firmware() rather than some magic
ioctl). So we'll get rid of it eventually.
But in the meantime, the compatibility ioctl code is broken, and this
tries to get it to at least limp along (even if Mauro suggested just
deleting it entirely, which may be the right thing to do - I don't think
the compatibility translation code has ever worked unless you were very
lucky).

This patch adds a workaround for an IOMMU BIOS problem to
the AMD IOMMU driver. The result of the bug is that the
IOMMU does not execute commands anymore when the system
comes out of the S3 state resulting in system failure. The
bug in the BIOS is that is does not restore certain hardware
specific registers correctly. This workaround reads out the
contents of these registers at boot time and restores them
on resume from S3. The workaround is limited to the specific
IOMMU chipset where this problem occurs.
In the __unmap_single function the dma_addr is rounded down
to a page boundary before the dma pages are unmapped. The
address is later also used to flush the TLB entries for that
mapping. But without the offset into the dma page the amount
of pages to flush might be miscalculated in the TLB flushing
path. This patch fixes this bug by using the original
address to flush the TLB.
This patch moves the setting of the configuration and
feature flags out out the acpi table parsing path and moves
it into the iommu-enable path. This is needed to reliably

The HW by default has RX coalescing on. For iWARP connections, this
causes a 100ms delay in connection establishement due to the ingress
MPA Start message being stalled in HW. So explicitly turn RX
coalescing off when setting up iWARP connections.
This was causing very bad performance for NP64 gather operations using

Recent changes in the usbhid layer exposed a bug in usbcore. If
CONFIG_USB_DYNAMIC_MINORS is enabled then an interface may be assigned
a minor number of 0. However interfaces that aren't registered as USB
class devices also have their minor number set to 0, during
initialization. As a result usb_find_interface() may return the
wrong interface, leading to a crash.
This patch (as1418) fixes the problem by initializing every
interface's minor number to -1. It also cleans up the
usb_register_dev() function, which besides being somewhat awkwardly
written, does not unwind completely on all its error paths.

Several MIPS platforms don't set pci_controller::io_map_base for their

conditional on CONFIG_PCI_DOMAINS, but that is now enabled for all PCI

Input core displays capabilities bitmasks in form of one or more longs printed

for 32-bit applications running on 64-bit kernels since applications expect
that number is "worth" only 32 bits when kernel advances by 64 bits.
Fix that by ensuring that output produced for compat tasks uses 32-bit units.

Since commit 98962465ed9e6ea99c38e0af63fe1dcb5a79dc25 ("nohz: Prevent
clocksource wrapping during idle"), the CPU of an R2D board never goes
to idle. This commit assumes that mult and shift are assigned before

This patch fixes the problem by moving mult and shift initialization

Partition boundary calculation fails for DASD FBA disks under the
following conditions:
- disk is formatted with CMS FORMAT with a blocksize of more than
512 bytes
- all of the disk is reserved to a single CMS file using CMS RESERVE
- the disk is accessed using the DIAG mode of the DASD driver
Under these circumstances, the partition detection code tries to
read the CMS label block containing partition-relevant information
from logical block offset 1, while it is in fact located at physical
block offset 1.
Fix this problem by using the correct CMS label block location
depending on the device type as determined by the DASD SENSE ID

The driver attempts to select an IRQ for the NIC automatically by
testing which of the supported IRQs are available and then probing
each available IRQ with probe_irq_{on,off}(). There are obvious race
conditions here, besides which:
1. The test for availability is done by passing a NULL handler, which
now always returns -EINVAL, thus the device cannot be opened:
<http://bugs.debian.org/566522>
2. probe_irq_off() will report only the first ISA IRQ handled,
potentially leading to a false negative.
There was another bug that meant it ignored all error codes from
request_irq() except -EBUSY, so it would 'succeed' despite this
(possibly causing conflicts with other ISA devices). This was fixed
by ab08999d6029bb2c79c16be5405d63d2bedbdfea 'WARNING: some
request_irq() failures ignored in el2_open()', which exposed bug 1.
This patch:
1. Replaces the use of probe_irq_{on,off}() with a real interrupt handler
2. Adds a delay before checking the interrupt-seen flag
3. Disables interrupts on all failure paths
4. Distinguishes error codes from the second request_irq() call,
consistently with the first

to call waitid() on a stopped process results in access to the child task's
credentials without the RCU read lock being held - which may be replaced in the
meantime - eliciting the following warning:
This is fixed by holding the RCU read lock in wait_task_continued() to ensure
that the task's current credentials aren't destroyed between us reading the
cred pointer and us reading the UID from those credentials.
Furthermore, protect wait_task_stopped() in the same way.
We don't need to keep holding the RCU read lock once we've read the UID from
the credentials as holding the RCU read lock doesn't stop the target task from
changing its creds under us - so the credentials may be outdated immediately
after we've read the pointer, lock or no lock.

When allocating a page, the system uses NR_FREE_PAGES counters to
determine if watermarks would remain intact after the allocation was made.
This check is made without interrupts disabled or the zone lock held and
so is race-prone by nature. Unfortunately, when pages are being freed in
batch, the counters are updated before the pages are added on the list.
During this window, the counters are misleading as the pages do not exist
yet. When under significant pressure on systems with large numbers of
CPUs, it's possible for processes to make progress even though they should
have been stalled. This is particularly problematic if a number of the
processes are using GFP_ATOMIC as the min watermark can be accidentally
breached and in extreme cases, the system can livelock.
This patch updates the counters after the pages have been added to the
list. This makes the allocator more cautious with respect to preserving
the watermarks and mitigates livelock possibilities.

Ordinarily watermark checks are based on the vmstat NR_FREE_PAGES as it is
cheaper than scanning a number of lists. To avoid synchronization
overhead, counter deltas are maintained on a per-cpu basis and drained
both periodically and when the delta is above a threshold. On large CPU
systems, the difference between the estimated and real value of
NR_FREE_PAGES can be very high. If NR_FREE_PAGES is much higher than
number of real free page in buddy, the VM can allocate pages below min
watermark, at worst reducing the real number of pages to zero. Even if
the OOM killer kills some victim for freeing memory, it may not free
memory if the exit path requires a new page resulting in livelock.
This patch introduces a zone_page_state_snapshot() function (courtesy of
Christoph) that takes a slightly more accurate view of an arbitrary vmstat
counter. It is used to read NR_FREE_PAGES while kswapd is awake to avoid
the watermark being accidentally broken. The estimate is not perfect and
may result in cache line bounces but is expected to be lighter than the
IPI calls necessary to continually drain the per-cpu counters while kswapd
is awake.

When under significant memory pressure, a process enters direct reclaim
and immediately afterwards tries to allocate a page. If it fails and no
further progress is made, it's possible the system will go OOM. However,
on systems with large amounts of memory, it's possible that a significant
number of pages are on per-cpu lists and inaccessible to the calling
process. This leads to a process entering direct reclaim more often than
it should increasing the pressure on the system and compounding the
problem.
This patch notes that if direct reclaim is making progress but allocations
are still failing that the system is already under heavy pressure. In
this case, it drains the per-cpu lists and tries the allocation a second
time before continuing.
