On 32 bits, we may suffer IRQ 13, or supposedly we might have a buggy implementation which gives spurious trap 16. We did not check for this on 64 bits, but there is no reason we can't make the code the same in both cases. Furthermore, this is presumably rare, so do the spurious check last, instead of first.

there's a new ptrace arch level feature in .28: config X86_PTRACE_BTS bool "Branch Trace Store" it has broken fork() handling: the old DS area gets copied over into a new task without clearing it. Fixes exist but they came too late: c5dee617: x86, bts: memory accounting bf53de90: x86, bts: add fork and exit handling and are queued up for v2.6.29. This shows that the facility is still not tested well enough to release into a stable kernel - disable it for now and reactivate in .29. In .29 the hardware-branch-tracer will use the DS/BTS facilities too - hopefully resulting in better code. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: cleanup, fix warning This warning: arch/x86/mm/pat.c: In function track_pfn_vma_copy: arch/x86/mm/pat.c:701: warning: passing argument 5 of follow_phys from incompatible pointer type Triggers because physical addresses are resource_size_t, not u64.

When deleting an edac device, we have to wait for its edac_dev.work to be completed before deleting the whole edac_dev structure. Since we have no idea which work in current edac_poller's workqueue is the work we are conerned about, we wait for all work in the edac_poller's workqueue to be proceseed. This is done via flush_cpu_workqueue() which inserts a wq_barrier into the tail of the workqueue and then sleeping on the completion of this wq_barrier. The edac_poller will wake up sleepers when it is found. EDAC core creates only one kernel worker thread, edac_poller, to run the works of all current edac devices. They share the same callback function of edac_device_workq_function(), which would grab the mutex of device_ctls_mutex first before it checks the device. This is exactly where edac_poller and rmmod would have a great chance to deadlock. In below call trace of rmmod > ... > edac_device_del_device > edac_device_workq_teardown > flush_workqueue > flush_cpu_workqueue, device_ctls_mutex would have already been grabbed by edac_device_del_device(). So, on one hand rmmod would sleep on the completion of a wq_barrier, holding device_ctls_mutex; on the other hand edac_poller would be blocked on the same mutex when it's running any one of works of existing edac evices(Note, this edac_dev.work is likely to be totally irrelevant to the one that is being removed right now)and never would have a chance to run the work of above wq_barrier to wake rmmod up. edac_device_workq_teardown() should not be called within the critical region of device_ctls_mutex. Just like is done in edac_pci_del_device() and edac_mc_del_mc(), where edac_pci_workq_teardown() and edac_mc_workq_teardown() are called after related mutex are released. Moreover, an edac_dev.work should check first if it is being removed. If this is the case, then it should bail out immediately. Since not all of existing edac devices are to be removed, this "shutting flag" should be contained to edac device being removed. The current edac_dev.op_state can be used to serve this purpose. The original deadlock problem and the solution have been witnessed and tested on actual hardware. Without the solution, rmmod an edac driver would result in below deadlock: root@localhost:/root> rmmod mv64x60_edac EDAC DEBUG: mv64x60_dma_err_remove() EDAC DEBUG: edac_device_del_device() EDAC DEBUG: find_edac_device_by_dev() (hang for a moment) INFO: task edac-poller:2030 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

In the case of multiple FPU errors, prioritize the error codes, instead of returning __SI_FAULT, which ends up pushing a 0 as the error code to userspace, a POSIX violation. For i386, we will simply return if there are no errors at all; for x86-64 this is probably a "can't happen" (and the code should be unified), but for this patch, return __SI_FAULT|SI_KERNEL if this ever happens.

Impact: Prevent kernel crash with posix timer clockid CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW commit 2d42244a (clocksource: introduce CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW) introduced a new clockid, which is only available to read out the raw not NTP adjusted system time. The above commit did not prevent that a posix timer can be created with that clockid. The timer_create() syscall succeeds and initializes the timer to a non existing hrtimer base. When the timer is deleted either by timer_delete() or by the exit() cleanup the kernel crashes. Prevent the creation of timers for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW by setting the posix clock function to no_timer_create which returns an error code.
