We currently set the root-domain online span automatically when the domain is added to the cpu if the cpu is already a member of cpu_online_map. This was done as a hack/bug-fix for s2ram, but it also causes a problem with hotplug CPU_DOWN transitioning. The right way to fix the original problem is to actually respond to CPU_UP events, instead of CPU_ONLINE, which is already too late. This solves the hung reboot regression reported by Andrew Morton and others.

In commit ee7c82da ("wait_task_stopped: simplify and fix races with SIGCONT/SIGKILL/untrace"), the magic (short) cast when storing si_code was lost in wait_task_stopped. This leaks the in-kernel CLD_* values that do not match what userland expects.

This makes 64-bit ptrace calls setting the 64-bit orig_ax field for a 32-bit task sign-extend the low 32 bits up to 64. This matches what a 64-bit debugger expects when tracing a 32-bit task. This follows on my "x86_64 ia32 syscall restart fix". This didn't matter until that was fixed. The debugger ignores or zeros the high half of every register slot it sets (including the orig_rax pseudo-register) uniformly. It expects that the setting of the low 32 bits always has the same meaning as a 32-bit debugger setting those same 32 bits with native 32-bit facilities. This never arose before because the syscall restart check never matched any -ERESTART* values due to lack of sign extension. Before that fix, even 32-bit ptrace setting orig_eax to -1 failed to trigger the restart check anyway. So this was never noticed as a regression of 64-bit debuggers vs 32-bit debuggers on the same 64-bit kernel.

As long as the directory contents haven't changed, we should just let the path walk proceed to cross the mountpoint. Apart from being an optimisation in the case of 'nohide' mountpoint traversals, it also fixes an issue with referrals: referral inodes don't have valid filehandles, so calling nfs_revalidate_inode() on them is a bug.

When we detect that we've crossed a mountpoint on the remote server, we must take care not to use that inode to revalidate the fsid on our current superblock.

The card state mutex was only initialized when a device was connected, but used during unload unconditionally, leading to an Oops if a driver was loaded and unloaded again without ever connecting a device. Fix this by initializing the mutex as soon as the structure is allocated. Also add a missing mutex unlock revealed in the same execution path. This fixes a possible Oops in 2.6.25-rc that was introduced by commit e468c048 ("Gigaset: permit module unload"). Thanks to Roland Kletzing for reporting this problem.

Sripathi Kodi reported a crash in the -rt kernel: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=435674 this is due to a place that can reschedule a task without holding the tasks runqueue lock. This was caused by the RT balancing code that pulls RT tasks to the current run queue and will reschedule the current task. There's a slight chance that the pulling of the RT tasks will release the current runqueue's lock and retake it (in the double_lock_balance). During this time that the runqueue is released, the current task can migrate to another runqueue. In the prio_changed_rt code, after the pull, if the current task is of lesser priority than one of the RT tasks pulled, resched_task is called on the current task. If the current task had migrated in that small window, resched_task will be called without holding the runqueue lock for the runqueue that the task is on. This race condition also exists in the mainline kernel and this patch adds a check to make sure the task hasn't migrated before calling resched_task.

The new x86 setup code (4fd06960) broke booting on an old P3/500MHz with an onboard Voodoo3 of mine. After debugging it, it turned out to be caused by the fact that the vesa probing now asks for VBE2 data. Disassembing the video BIOS shows that it overflows the vesa_general_info structure when VBE2 data is requested because the source addresses for the information strings which get strcpy'ed to the buffer lie outside the 32K BIOS code (and hence contain long sequences of 0xff's).

convert_fxsr_to_user() in 2.6.24's i387_32.c did this, and convert_to_fxsr() also does the inverse, so I assume it's an oversight that it is no longer being done.

The Linux kernel currently does not clear the direction flag before calling a signal handler, whereas the x86/x86-64 ABI requires that. Linux had this behavior/bug forever, but this becomes a real problem with gcc version 4.3, which assumes that the direction flag is correctly cleared at the entry of a function. This patches changes the setup_frame() functions to clear the direction before entering the signal handler.

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: kernel BUG at mm/slab.c:2417 cache_alloc_refill+0xe6 kmem_cache_alloc+0xd0 ...

SLUB should pack even small objects nicely into cachelines if that is what has been asked for. Use the same algorithm as SLAB for this. The effect of this patch for a system with a cacheline size of 64 bytes is that the 24 byte sized slab caches will now put exactly 2 objects into a cacheline instead of 3 with some overlap into the next cacheline. This reduces the object density in a 4k slab from 170 to 128 objects (same as SLAB). Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>
