Impact: fix crashes under Xen due to unrobust e820 code find_e820_area_size() must return a properly distinguishable and out-of-bounds value when it fails, and -1UL does not meet that criteria on i386/PAE. Additionally, callers of the function must check against that value. early_reserve_e820() should be prepared for the region found to be outside of the addressable range on 32-bits. e820_update_range_map() should not blindly update e820, but should do all it work on the map it got a pointer passed for (which in 50% of the cases is &e820_saved). It must also not call e820_add_region(), as that again acts on e820 unconditionally. The issues were found when trying to make this option work in our Xen kernel (i.e. where some of the silent assumptions made in the code would not hold).

Impact: 32/64-bit consolidation In a first step, this allows fixing phys_addr_valid() for PAE (which until now reported all addresses to be valid). Subsequently, this will also allow simplifying some MTRR handling code.

Impact: build fix Move kmap_atomic_prot_pfn() to iomap_32.c. It is used on all 32-bit kernels, while highmem_32.c is only built on highmem kernels. ( Note: the debug_kmap_atomic_prot() check is removed for now, that problem is handled via another patch. ) Reported-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com> LKML-Reference: <20090311143317.GA22244@localhost.localdomain> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Samuel CUELLA authored
Prevent the kernel from being crashed by a divide-by-zero operation when supplied an incorrectly filled 'struct fb_var_screeninfo' from userland. Previously i810_main.c:1005 (i810_check_params) was using the global 'yres' symbol previously defined at i810_main.c:145 as a module parameter value holder (i810_main.c:2174). If i810fb is compiled-in or if this param doesn't get a default value, this direct usage leads to a divide-by-zero at i810_main.c:1005 (i810_check_params). The patch simply replace the 'yres' global, perhaps undefined symbol usage by a given parameter structure lookup. This problem occurs with directfb, mplayer -vo fbdev, SDL library.

Fix a problem in the IDR system, where an idr_remove_all() hands a data element to call_rcu() (via free_layer()) before making that data element inaccessible to new readers. This is very bad, and results in readers still having a reference to this data element at the end of the grace period. Tests on large machines that concurrently map and unmap user-space memory within the same multithreaded process result in crashes within about five minutes. Applying this patch increases the kernel's longevity to the three-to-eight-hour range. There appear to be other similar problems in idr_get_empty_slot() and sub_remove(), but I fixed the easy one in idr_remove_all() first. It is therefore no surprise that failures still occur.

The COMPAT_BRK kconfig symbol does not depend on EMBEDDED, but it is in the midst of the EMBEDDED menu symbols, so it mucks up the EMBEDDED menu.

get_nid_for_pfn() returns int Presumably the (nid < 0) case has never happened. We do know that it is happening on one system while creating a symlink for a memory section so it should also happen on the same system if unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes() were called to remove the same symlink. The test was actually added in response to a problem with an earlier version reported by Yasunori Goto where one or more of the leading pages of a memory section on the 2nd node of one of his systems was uninitialized because I believe they coincided with a memory hole. That earlier version did not ignore uninitialized pages and determined the nid by considering only the 1st page of each memory section. This caused the symlink to the 1st memory section on the 2nd node to be incorrectly created in /sys/devices/system/node/node0 instead of /sys/devices/system/node/node1. The problem was fixed by adding the test to skip over uninitialized pages. I suspect we have not seen any reports of the non-removal of a symlink due to the incorrect declaration of the nid variable in unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes() because - systems where a memory section could have an uninitialized range of leading pages are probably rare. - memory remove is probably not done very frequently on the systems that are capable of demonstrating the problem. - lingering symlink(s) that should have been removed may have simply gone unnoticed.

CLONE_PARENT can fool the ->self_exec_id/parent_exec_id logic. If we re-use the old parent, we must also re-use ->parent_exec_id to make sure exit_notify() sees the right ->xxx_exec_id's when the CLONE_PARENT'ed task exits. Also, move down the "p->parent_exec_id = p->self_exec_id" thing, to place two different cases together.
