The latest binutils (2.21.0.20110302/Ubuntu) breaks the build
yet another time, under CONFIG_XEN=y due to a .size directive that
refers to a slightly differently named (hence, to the now very
strict and unforgiving assembler, non-existent) symbol.
[ mingo:
This unnecessary build breakage caused by new binutils
version 2.21 gets escallated back several kernel releases spanning
several years of Linux history, affecting over 130,000 upstream
kernel commits (!), on CONFIG_XEN=y 64-bit kernels (i.e. essentially
affecting all major Linux distro kernel configs).
Git annotate tells us that this slight debug symbol code mismatch
bug has been introduced in 2008 in commit 3d75e1b8:
Human reviewers almost never catch such small mismatches, and binutils
never even warned about it either.
This new binutils version thus breaks the Xen build on all upstream kernels
since v2.6.27, out of the blue.
This makes a straightforward Git bisection of all 64-bit Xen-enabled kernels
impossible on such binutils, for a bisection window of over hundred
thousand historic commits. (!)
This is a major fail on the side of binutils and binutils needs to turn
this show-stopper build failure into a warning ASAP. ]

According to intel CPU manual, every time PGD entry is changed in i386 PAE
mode, we need do a full TLB flush. Current code follows this and there is
comment for this too in the code.
But current code misses the multi-threaded case. A changed page table
might be used by several CPUs, every such CPU should flush TLB. Usually
this isn't a problem, because we prepopulate all PGD entries at process
fork. But when the process does munmap and follows new mmap, this issue
will be triggered.
When it happens, some CPUs keep doing page faults:
Mike Galbraith reported finding a lockup ("perma-spin bug") where the
cpumask passed to smp_call_function_many was cleared by other cpu(s)
while a cpu was preparing its call_data block, resulting in no cpu to
clear the last ref and unlock the block.
Having cpus clear their bit asynchronously could be useful on a mask of
cpus that might have a translation context, or cpus that need a push to
complete an rcu window.
Instead of adding a BUG_ON and requiring yet another cpumask copy, just
detect the race and handle it.
Note: arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask must still handle an empty
cpumask because the data block is globally visible before the that arch
callback is made. And (obviously) there are no guarantees to which cpus
are notified if the mask is changed during the call; only cpus that were
online and had their mask bit set during the whole call are guaranteed
to be called.

Paul McKenney's review pointed out two problems with the barriers in the
2.6.38 update to the smp call function many code.
First, a barrier that would force the func and info members of data to
be visible before their consumption in the interrupt handler was
missing. This can be solved by adding a smp_wmb between setting the
func and info members and setting setting the cpumask; this will pair
with the existing and required smp_rmb ordering the cpumask read before
the read of refs. This placement avoids the need a second smp_rmb in
the interrupt handler which would be executed on each of the N cpus
executing the call request. (I was thinking this barrier was present
but was not).
Second, the previous write to refs (establishing the zero that we the
interrupt handler was testing from all cpus) was performed by a third
party cpu. This would invoke transitivity which, as a recient or
concurrent addition to memory-barriers.txt now explicitly states, would
require a full smp_mb().
However, we know the cpumask will only be set by one cpu (the data
owner) and any preivous iteration of the mask would have cleared by the
reading cpu. By redundantly writing refs to 0 on the owning cpu before
the smp_wmb, the write to refs will follow the same path as the writes
that set the cpumask, which in turn allows us to keep the barrier in the
interrupt handler a smp_rmb instead of promoting it to a smp_mb (which
will be be executed by N cpus for each of the possible M elements on the
list).
I moved and expanded the comment about our (ab)use of the rcu list
primitives for the concurrent walk earlier into this function. I
considered moving the first two paragraphs to the queue list head and
lock, but felt it would have been too disconected from the code.

Peter pointed out there was nothing preventing the list_del_rcu in
smp_call_function_interrupt from running before the list_add_rcu in
smp_call_function_many.
Fix this by not setting refs until we have gotten the lock for the list.
Take advantage of the wmb in list_add_rcu to save an explicit additional
one.
I tried to force this race with a udelay before the lock & list_add and
by mixing all 64 online cpus with just 3 random cpus in the mask, but
was unsuccessful. Still, inspection shows a valid race, and the fix is
a extension of the existing protection window in the current code.

RPC task RPC_TASK_QUEUED bit is set must be checked before trying to wake up
task rpc_killall_tasks() because task->tk_waitqueue can not be set (equal to
NULL).
Also, as Trond Myklebust mentioned, such approach (instead of checking

Some broken BIOSes on ICH4 chipset report an ACPI region which is in
conflict with legacy IDE ports when ACPI is disabled. Even though the
regions overlap, IDE ports are working correctly (we cannot find out
the decoding rules on chipsets).
So the only problem is the reported region itself, if we don't reserve
the region in the quirk everything works as expected.
This patch avoids reserving any quirk regions below PCIBIOS_MIN_IO
which is 0x1000. Some regions might be (and are by a fast google
query) below this border, but the only difference is that they won't
be reserved anymore. They should still work though the same as before.
The conflicts look like (1f.0 is bridge, 1f.1 is IDE ctrl):
pci 0000:00:1f.1: address space collision: [io 0x0170-0x0177] conflicts with 0000:00:1f.0 [io 0x0100-0x017f]
At 0x0100 a 128 bytes long ACPI region is reported in the quirk for
ICH4. ata_piix then fails to find disks because the IDE legacy ports
are zeroed:
ata_piix 0000:00:1f.1: device not available (can't reserve [io 0x0000-0x0007])
Per ICH4 and ICH6 specs, ACPI and GPIO regions are valid iff ACPI_EN
and GPIO_EN bits are set to 1. Add checks for these bits into the
quirks prior to the region creation.

When an endpoint stalls, we need to update the xHCI host's internal
dequeue pointer to move it past the stalled transfer. This includes
updating the cycle bit (TRB ownership bit) if we have moved the dequeue
pointer past a link TRB with the toggle cycle bit set.
When we're trying to find the new dequeue segment, find_trb_seg() is
supposed to keep track of whether we've passed any link TRBs with the
toggle cycle bit set. However, this while loop's body
Will never get executed if the ring only contains one segment.
find_trb_seg() will return immediately, without updating the new cycle
bit. Since find_trb_seg() has no idea where in the segment the TD that
stalled was, make the caller, xhci_find_new_dequeue_state(), check for
this special case and update the cycle bit accordingly.
This patch should be queued to kernels all the way back to 2.6.31.
When an endpoint stalls, the xHCI driver must move the endpoint ring's
dequeue pointer past the stalled transfer. To do that, the driver issues
a Set TR Dequeue Pointer command, which will complete some time later.
Takashi was having issues with USB 1.1 audio devices that stalled, and his
analysis of the code was that the old code would not update the xHCI
driver's ring dequeue pointer after the command completes. However, the
dequeue pointer is set in xhci_find_new_dequeue_state(), just before the
set command is issued to the hardware.
Setting the dequeue pointer before the Set TR Dequeue Pointer command
completes is a dangerous thing to do, since the xHCI hardware can fail the
command. Instead, store the new dequeue pointer in the xhci_virt_ep
structure, and update the ring's dequeue pointer when the Set TR dequeue
pointer command completes.
While we're at it, make sure we can't queue another Set TR Dequeue Command
while the first one is still being processed. This just won't work with
the internal xHCI state code. I'm still not sure if this is the right
thing to do, since we might have a case where a driver queues multiple
URBs to a control ring, one of the URBs Stalls, and then the driver tries
to cancel the second URB. There may be a race condition there where the
xHCI driver might try to issue multiple Set TR Dequeue Pointer commands,
but I would have to think very hard about how the Stop Endpoint and
cancellation code works. Keep the fix simple until when/if we run into
that case.
This patch should be queued to kernels all the way back to 2.6.31.
The hcd->state variable is a disaster. It's not clearly owned by
either usbcore or the host controller drivers, and they both change it
from time to time, potentially stepping on each other's toes. It's
not protected by any locks. And there's no mechanism to prevent it
from going through an invalid transition.
This patch (as1451) takes a first step toward fixing these problems.
As it turns out, usbcore uses hcd->state for essentially only two
things: checking whether the controller's root hub is running and
checking whether the controller has died. Therefore the patch adds
two new atomic bitflags to the hcd structure, to store these pieces of
information. The new flags are used only by usbcore, and a private
spinlock prevents invalid combinations (a dead controller's root hub
cannot be running).
The patch does not change the places where usbcore sets hcd->state,
since HCDs may depend on them. Furthermore, there is one place in
usb_hcd_irq() where usbcore still must use hcd->state: An HCD's
interrupt handler can implicitly indicate that the controller died by
setting hcd->state to HC_STATE_HALT. Nevertheless, the new code is a
big improvement over the current code.
The patch makes one other change. The hcd_bus_suspend() and
hcd_bus_resume() routines now check first whether the host controller
has died; if it has then they return immediately without calling the
HCD's bus_suspend or bus_resume methods.
This fixes the major problem reported in Bugzilla #29902: The system
fails to suspend after a host controller dies during system resume.

The document says:
|2.1 Problem description
| When at least two USB devices are simultaneously running, it is observed that
| sometimes the INT corresponding to one of the USB devices stops occurring. This may
| be observed sometimes with USB-to-serial or USB-to-network devices.
| The problem is not noticed when only USB mass storage devices are running.
|2.2 Implication
| This issue is because of the clearing of the respective Done Map bit on reading the ATL
| PTD Done Map register when an INT is generated by another PTD completion, but is not
| found set on that read access. In this situation, the respective Done Map bit will remain
| reset and no further INT will be asserted so the data transfer corresponding to that USB
| device will stop.
|2.3 Workaround
| An SOF INT can be used instead of an ATL INT with polling on Done bits. A time-out can
| be implemented and if a certain Done bit is never set, verification of the PTD completion
| can be done by reading PTD contents (valid bit).
| This is a proven workaround implemented in software.

When a driver doesn't know how much data a device is going to send,
the buffer size should be at least as big as the endpoint's maxpacket
value. The serial drivers don't follow this rule; many of them
request only 256-byte bulk-in buffers. As a result, they suffer
overflow errors if a high-speed device wants to send a lot of data,
because high-speed bulk endpoints are required to have a maxpacket
size of 512.
This patch (as1450) fixes the problem by using the driver's
bulk_in_size value as a minimum, always allocating buffers no smaller
than the endpoint's maxpacket size.

This patch fixes the leak and performance degrade.
Intel Archiecture Software Developer's Manual section 7.1.3 specifies that a
core serializing instruction such as "cpuid" should be executed on _each_ core
before the new instruction is made visible.
Failure to do so can lead to unspecified behavior (Intel XMC erratas include
General Protection Fault in the list), so we should avoid this at all cost.
This problem can affect modified code executed by interrupt handlers after
interrupt are re-enabled at the end of stop_machine, because no core serializing
instruction is executed between the code modification and the moment interrupts
are reenabled.
Because stop_machine_text_poke performs the text modification from the first CPU
decrementing stop_machine_first, modified code executed in thread context is
also affected by this problem. To explain why, we have to split the CPUs in two
categories: the CPU that initiates the text modification (calls text_poke_smp)
and all the others. The scheduler, executed on all other CPUs after
stop_machine, issues an "iret" core serializing instruction, and therefore
handles core serialization for all these CPUs. However, the text modification
initiator can continue its execution on the same thread and access the modified
text without any scheduler call. Given that the CPU that initiates the code
modification is not guaranteed to be the one actually performing the code
modification, it falls into the XMC errata.
Q: Isn't this executed from an IPI handler, which will return with IRET (a
serializing instruction) anyway?
A: No, now stop_machine uses per-cpu workqueue, so that handler will be
executed from worker threads. There is no iret anymore.

A userland read of more than PAGE_SIZE bytes from /dev/zero results in
(a) not all of the bytes returned being zero, and
(b) memory corruption due to zeroing of bytes beyond the user buffer.
This is caused by improper constraints on the assembly __clear_user function.
The constrints don't indicate to the compiler that the pointer argument is
modified. Since the function is inline, this results in double-incrementing
of the pointer when __clear_user() is invoked through a multi-page read() of
/dev/zero.

Commit 7f74f8f28a2bd9db9404f7d364e2097a0c42cc12
(x86 quirk: Fix polarity for IRQ0 pin2 override on SB800
systems) introduced a regression. It removed some SB600 specific
code to determine the revision ID without adapting a
corresponding revision ID check for SB600.
When processing a SIDR REQ, the ib_cm allocates a new cm_id. The
refcount of the cm_id is initialized to 1. However, cm_process_work
will decrement the refcount after invoking all callbacks. The result
is that the cm_id will end up with refcount set to 0 by the end of the
sidr req handler.
If a user tries to destroy the cm_id, the destruction will proceed,
under the incorrect assumption that no other threads are referencing
the cm_id. This can lead to a crash when the cm callback thread tries
to access the cm_id.
This problem was noticed as part of a larger investigation with kernel
crashes in the rdma_cm when running on a real time OS.

It turns out that while a maximum of 8 partitions may be what people
"should" have had, you can actually fit up to 18 entries(*) in a sector.
And some people clearly were taking advantage of that, like Michael
Cree, who had ten partitions on one of his OSF disks.
(*) The OSF partition data starts at byte offset 64 in the first sector,
and the array of 16-byte partition entries start at offset 148 in
the on-disk partition structure.
They were able to reproduce the crash multiple times with the
following details:
Crash seems to always happen on the:
mutex_unlock(&conn_id->handler_mutex);
as conn_id looks to have been freed during this code path.
An examination of the code shows that a race exists in the request
handlers. When a new connection request is received, the rdma_cm
allocates a new connection identifier. This identifier has a single
reference count on it. If a user calls rdma_destroy_id() from another
thread after receiving a callback, rdma_destroy_id will proceed to
destroy the id and free the associated memory. However, the request
handlers may still be in the process of running. When control returns
to the request handlers, they can attempt to access the newly created
identifiers.
Fix this by holding a reference on the newly created rdma_cm_id until
the request handler is through accessing it.

ata_eh_analyze_serror() suppresses hotplug notifications if LPM is
being used because LPM generates spurious hotplug events. It compared
whether link->lpm_policy was different from ATA_LPM_MAX_POWER to
determine whether LPM is enabled; however, this is incorrect as for
drivers which don't implement LPM, lpm_policy is always
ATA_LPM_UNKNOWN. This disabled hotplug detection for all drivers
which don't implement LPM.

When the fuction graph tracer starts, it needs to make a special
stack for each task to save the real return values of the tasks.
All running tasks have this stack created, as well as any new
tasks.
On CPU hot plug, the new idle task will allocate a stack as well
when init_idle() is called. The problem is that cpu hotplug does
not create a new idle_task. Instead it uses the idle task that
existed when the cpu went down.
ftrace_graph_init_task() will add a new ret_stack to the task
that is given to it. Because a clone will make the task
have a stack of its parent it does not check if the task's
ret_stack is already NULL or not. When the CPU hotplug code
starts a CPU up again, it will allocate a new stack even
though one already existed for it.
The solution is to treat the idle_task specially. In fact, the
function_graph code already does, just not at init_idle().
Instead of using the ftrace_graph_init_task() for the idle task,
which that function expects the task to be a clone, have a
separate ftrace_graph_init_idle_task(). Also, we will create a
per_cpu ret_stack that is used by the idle task. When we call
ftrace_graph_init_idle_task() it will check if the idle task's
ret_stack is NULL, if it is, then it will assign it the per_cpu
ret_stack.

mm_fault_error() should not execute oom-killer, if page fault
occurs in kernel space. E.g. in copy_from_user()/copy_to_user().
This would happen if we find ourselves in OOM on a
copy_to_user(), or a copy_from_user() which faults.
Without this patch, the kernels hangs up in copy_from_user(),
because OOM killer sends SIG_KILL to current process, but it
can't handle a signal while in syscall, then the kernel returns
to copy_from_user(), reexcute current command and provokes
page_fault again.
With this patch the kernel return -EFAULT from copy_from_user().
The code, which checks that page fault occurred in kernel space,
has been copied from do_sigbus().
This situation is handled by the same way on powerpc, xtensa,

We can hit serious mis-synchronization in bio completion path of
blkdev_issue_zeroout() leading to a panic.
The problem is that when we are going to wait_for_completion() in
blkdev_issue_zeroout() we check if the bb.done equals issued (number of
submitted bios). If it does, we can skip the wait_for_completition()
and just out of the function since there is nothing to wait for.
However, there is a ordering problem because bio_batch_end_io() is
calling atomic_inc(&bb->done) before complete(), hence it might seem to
blkdev_issue_zeroout() that all bios has been completed and exit. At
this point when bio_batch_end_io() is going to call complete(bb->wait),
bb and wait does not longer exist since it was allocated on stack in
blkdev_issue_zeroout() ==> panic!
(thread 1) (thread 2)
bio_batch_end_io() blkdev_issue_zeroout()

bb->end_io(bio, err); ...
atomic_inc(&bb->done); ...
... while (issued != atomic_read(&bb.done))
... (let issued == bb.done)
... (do the rest of the function)
... return ret;
complete(bb->wait);
^^^^^^^^
panic
We can fix this easily by simplifying bio_batch and completion counting.
Also remove bio_end_io_t *end_io since it is not used.

There have been a number of recent reports that NFSROOT is no longer
working with default mount options, but fails only with certain NICs.
Brian Downing <bdowning@lavos.net> bisected to commit 56463e50 "NFS:
Use super.c for NFSROOT mount option parsing". Among other things,
this commit changes the default mount options for NFSROOT to use TCP
instead of UDP as the underlying transport.
TCP seems less able to deal with NICs that are slow to initialize.
The system logs that have accompanied reports of problems all show
that NFSROOT attempts to establish a TCP connection before the NIC is
fully initialized, and thus the TCP connection attempt fails.
When a TCP connection attempt fails during a mount operation, the
NFS stack needs to fail the operation. Usually user space knows how
and when to retry it. The network layer does not report a distinct
error code for this particular failure mode. Thus, there isn't a
clean way for the RPC client to see that it needs to retry in this
case, but not in others.
Because NFSROOT is used in some environments where it is not possible
to update the kernel command line to specify "udp", the proper thing
to do is change NFSROOT to use UDP by default, as it did before commit 56463e50.
To make it easier to see how to change default mount options for
NFSROOT and to distinguish default settings from mandatory settings,
I've adjusted a couple of areas to document the specifics.
root_nfs_cat() is also modified to deal with commas properly when
concatenating strings containing mount option lists. This keeps
root_nfs_cat() call sites simpler, now that we may be concatenating
multiple mount option strings.

After upgrading the kernel from stock Ubuntu 7.10 to
10.04, with no hardware changes, I started getting the dreaded DMA
TIMEOUT errors, followed by inability to encode until the machine was
rebooted.
I came across a post from Andy in March
(http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/users/40943#40943) where he
speculates that perhaps the corrective actions being taken after a DMA
ERROR are not sufficient to recover the situation. After some testing
I suspect that this is indeed the case, and that in fact the corrective
action may be what hangs the card's DMA engine, rather than the
original error.
Specifically these DMA ERROR IRQs seem to present with two different
values in the IVTV_REG_DMASTATUS register: 0x11 and 0x13. The current
corrective action is to clear that status register back to 0x01 or
0x03, and then issue the next DMA request. In the case of a 0x13 this
seems to result in a minor glitch in the encoded stream due to the
failed transfer that was not retried, but otherwise things continue OK.
In the case of a 0x11 the card's DMA write engine is never heard from
again, and a DMA TIMEOUT follows shortly after. 0x11 is the killer.
I suspect that the two cases need to be handled differently. The
difference is in bit 1 (0x02), which is set when the error is about to
be successfully recovered, and clear when things are about to go bad.
Bit 1 of DMASTATUS is described differently in different places either
as a positive "write finished", or an inverted "write busy". If we
take the first definition, then when an error arises with state 0x11,
it means that the write did not complete. It makes sense to start a
new transfer, as in the current code. But if we take the second
definition, then 0x11 means "an error but the write engine is still
busy". Trying to feed it a new transfer in this situation might not be
a good idea.
As an experiment, I added code to ignore the DMA ERROR IRQ if DMASTATUS
is 0x11. I.e., don't start a new transfer, don't clear our flags, etc.
The hope was that the card would complete the transfer and issue a ENC
DMA COMPLETE, either successfully or with an error condition there.
However the card still hung.
The only remaining corrective action being taken with a 0x11 status was
then the write back to the status register to clear the error, i.e.
DMASTATUS = DMASTATUS & ~3. This would have the effect of clearing the
error bit 4, while leaving the lower bits indicating DMA write busy.
Strangely enough, removing this write to the status register solved the
problem! If the DMA ERROR IRQ with DMASTATUS=0x11 is completely
ignored, with no corrective action at all, then the card will complete
the transfer and issue a new IRQ. If the status register is written to
when it has the value 0x11, then the DMA engine hangs. Perhaps it's
illegal to write to
DMASTATUS while the read or write busy bit is set? At any rate, it
appears that the current corrective action is indeed making things
worse rather than better.
I put together a patch that modifies ivtv_irq_dma_err to do the
following:
- Don't write back to IVTV_REG_DMASTATUS.
- If write-busy is asserted, leave the card alone. Just extend the
timeout slightly.
- If write-busy is de-asserted, retry the current transfer.
This has completely fixed my DMA TIMEOUT woes. DMA ERR events still
occur, but now they seem to be correctly handled. 0x11 events no
longer hang the card, and 0x13 events no longer result in a glitch in
the stream, as the failed transfer is retried. I'm happy.
I've inlined the patch below in case it is of interest. As described
above, I have a theory about why it works (based on a different
interpretation of bit 1 of DMASTATUS), but I can't guarantee that my
theory is correct. There may be another explanation, or it may be a
fluke. Maybe ignoring that IRQ entirely would be equally effective?
Maybe the status register read/writeback sequence is race condition if
the card changes it in the mean time? Also as I am using a PVR-150
only, I have not been able to test it on other cards, which may be
especially relevant for 350s that support concurrent decoding.
Hopefully the patch does not break the DMA READ path.

The current sched rt code is broken when it comes to hierarchical
scheduling, this patch fixes two problems
1. It adds redundant enqueuing (harmless) when it finds a queue
has tasks enqueued, but it has no run time and it is not
throttled.
2. The most important change is in sched_rt_rq_enqueue/dequeue.
The code just picks the rt_rq belonging to the current cpu
on which the period timer runs, the patch fixes it, so that
the correct rt_se is enqueued/dequeued.
Tested with a simple hierarchy
/c/d, c and d assigned similar runtimes of 50,000 and a while
1 loop runs within "d". Both c and d get throttled, without
the patch, the task just stops running and never runs (depends
on where the sched_rt b/w timer runs). With the patch, the
task is throttled and runs as expected.

In 135367b "netfilter: xtables: change xt_target.checkentry return type",
the type returned by checkentry was changed from boolean to int, but the
return values where not adjusted.
arptables: Input/output error
This broke arptables with the mangle target since it returns true
under success, which is interpreted by xtables as >0, thus
returning EIO.

Since a8f80e8ff94ecba629542d9b4b5f5a8ee3eb565c any process with
CAP_NET_ADMIN may load any module from /lib/modules/. This doesn't mean
that CAP_NET_ADMIN is a superset of CAP_SYS_MODULE as modules are
limited to /lib/modules/**. However, CAP_NET_ADMIN capability shouldn't
allow anybody load any module not related to networking.
This patch restricts an ability of autoloading modules to netdev modules
with explicit aliases. This fixes CVE-2011-1019.
Arnd Bergmann suggested to leave untouched the old pre-v2.6.32 behavior
of loading netdev modules by name (without any prefix) for processes
with CAP_SYS_MODULE to maintain the compatibility with network scripts
that use autoloading netdev modules by aliases like "eth0", "wlan0".
Currently there are only three users of the feature in the upstream
kernel: ipip, ip_gre and sit.

For CAP_SYS_MODULE module loading is still relaxed:
