commit 344c790e upstream I have gotten to the root cause of the hugetlb badness I reported back on August 15th. My system has the following memory topology (note the overlapping node): Node 0 Memory: 0x8000000-0x44000000 Node 1 Memory: 0x0-0x8000000 0x44000000-0x80000000 setup_zone_migrate_reserve() scans the address range 0x0-0x8000000 looking for a pageblock to move onto the MIGRATE_RESERVE list. Finding no candidates, it happily continues the scan into 0x8000000-0x44000000. When a pageblock is found, the pages are moved to the MIGRATE_RESERVE list on the wrong zone. Oops. setup_zone_migrate_reserve() should skip pageblocks in overlapping nodes. Signed-off-by:

commit 363f66fe upstream Recent changes to tighten the check for UARTs that don't correctly re-assert THRE (01c194d9: "serial 8250: tighten test for using backup timer") caused problems when such a UART was opened for the second time - the bug could only successfully be detected at first initialization. For users of this version of this particular UART IP it is fatal. This patch stores the information about the bug in the bugs field of the port structure when the port is first started up so subsequent opens can check this bit even if the test for the bug fails. David Brownell: "My own exposure to this is that the UART on DaVinci hardware, which TI allegedly derived from its original 16550 logic, has periodically gone from working to unusable with the mainline 8250.c ... and back and forth a bunch. Currently it's "unusable", a regression from some previous versions. With this patch from Will, it's usable." Signed-off-by:

commit 73442daf upstream commit 945185a6 ("rtc: rtc_time_to_tm: use unsigned arithmetic") changed the some types in rtc_time_to_tm() to unsigned: void rtc_time_to_tm(unsigned long time, struct rtc_time *tm) { - register int days, month, year; + unsigned int days, month, year; This doesn't work for all cases, because days is checked for < 0 later on: if (days < 0) { year -= 1; days += 365 + LEAP_YEAR(year); } I think the correct fix would be to keep days signed and do an appropriate cast later on.

commit 8b76f46a upstream Fix a bug reported by and diagnosed by Aaron Straus. This is a regression intruduced into 2.6.26 by commit adc782da Author: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Date: Tue Apr 29 01:03:07 2008 -0700 random: simplify and rename credit_entropy_store credit_entropy_bits() does: spin_lock_irqsave(&r->lock, flags); ... if (r->entropy_count > r->poolinfo->POOLBITS) r->entropy_count = r->poolinfo->POOLBITS; so there is a time window in which this BUG_ON(): static size_t account(struct entropy_store *r, size_t nbytes, int min, int reserved) { unsigned long flags; BUG_ON(r->entropy_count > r->poolinfo->POOLBITS); /* Hold lock while accounting */ spin_lock_irqsave(&r->lock, flags); can trigger. We could fix this by moving the assertion inside the lock, but it seems safer and saner to revert to the old behaviour wherein entropy_store.entropy_count at no time exceeds entropy_store.poolinfo->POOLBITS.

commit 838726c4 upstream The direct I/O write codepath for CIFS is done through cifs_user_write(). That function does not currently call generic_write_checks() so the file position isn't being properly set when the file is opened with O_APPEND. It's also not doing the other "normal" checks that should be done for a write call. The problem is currently that when you open a file with O_APPEND on a mount with the directio mount option, the file position is set to the beginning of the file. This makes any subsequent writes clobber the data in the file starting at the beginning. This seems to fix the problem in cursory testing. It is, however important to note that NFS disallows the combination of (O_DIRECT|O_APPEND). If my understanding is correct, the concern is races with multiple clients appending to a file clobbering each others' data. Since the write model for CIFS and NFS is pretty similar in this regard, CIFS is probably subject to the same sort of races. What's unclear to me is why this is a particular problem with O_DIRECT and not with buffered writes... Regardless, disallowing O_APPEND on an entire mount is probably not reasonable, so we'll probably just have to deal with it and reevaluate this flag combination when we get proper support for O_DIRECT. In the meantime this patch at least fixes the existing problem. Signed-off-by:

commit edcfe5f7 upstream Fix the checksum feature advertised in device flags. The hardware support TCP/UDP over IPv4 and TCP/UDP over IPv6 (without IPv6 extension headers). However, the kernel feature flags do not distinguish IPv6 with/without extension headers. Therefore, the driver needs to use NETIF_F_IP_CSUM instead of NETIF_F_HW_CSUM since the latter includes all IPv6 packets. A future patch can be created to check for extension headers and perform software checksum calculation. Signed-off-by:

commit 76029ff3 upstream The commit 68154e90 introduced bio_copy_kern() to add bounce support to blk_rq_map_kern. bio_copy_kern() uses bio->bv_len to copy data for READ commands after the completion but it doesn't work with a request that partially completed. SCSI always completes a PC request as a whole but seems some don't. This patch fixes bio_copy_kern to handle the above case. As bio_copy_user does, bio_copy_kern uses struct bio_map_data to store struct bio_vec. Signed-off-by:

commit 49fd38bd upstream The Perform Subsystem Function/Prepare for Read Subsystem Data command requires 12 bytes of parameter data, but the respective data structure dasd_psf_prssd_data has a length of 16 bytes. Current storage servers ignore the obsolete bytes, but older models fail to execute the command and report an incorrect length error. This causes the device initilization for these devices to fail. To fix this problem we need to correct the dasd_psf_prssd_data structure and shorten it to the correct length. Reported-by:

I've looked through various datasheets and found that the GXm and GXLV Geode processors don't have an incrementor. Remove the incrementor setup entirely. As the incrementor value differs according to clock speed and we would hope that the BIOS configures it correctly, it is probably the right solution. Signed-off-by:

commit ff9bc512 upstream Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2008 14:09:10 -0700 Subject: binfmt_misc: fix false -ENOEXEC when coupled with other binary handlers In case the binfmt_misc binary handler is registered *before* the e.g. script one (when for example being compiled as a module) the following situation may occur: 1. user launches a script, whose interpreter is a misc binary; 2. the load_misc_binary sets the misc_bang and returns -ENOEVEC, since the binary is a script; 3. the load_script_binary loads one and calls for search_binary_hander to run the interpreter; 4. the load_misc_binary is called again, but refuses to load the binary due to misc_bang bit set. The fix is to move the misc_bang setting lower - prior to the actual call to the search_binary_handler.

Suresh wrote: These padlock instructions though don't use/touch SSE registers, but it behaves similar to other SSE instructions. For example, it might cause DNA faults when cr0.ts is set. While this is a spurious DNA trap, it might cause oops with the recent fpu code changes. This is the code sequence that is probably causing this problem: a) new app is getting exec'd and it is somewhere in between start_thread() and flush_old_exec() in the load_xyz_binary() b) At pont "a", task's fpu state (like TS_USEDFPU, used_math() etc) is cleared. c) Now we get an interrupt/softirq which starts using these encrypt/decrypt routines in the network stack. This generates a math fault (as cr0.ts is '1') which sets TS_USEDFPU and restores the math that is in the task's xstate. d) Return to exec code path, which does start_thread() which does free_thread_xstate() and sets xstate pointer to NULL while the TS_USEDFPU is still set. e) At the next context switch from the new exec'd task to another task, we have a scenarios where TS_USEDFPU is set but xstate pointer is null. This can cause an oops during unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to() Now: 1) This should happen with or with out pre-emption. Viro also encountered similar problem with out CONFIG_PREEMPT. 2) kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end() will fix this problem, because kernel_fpu_begin() will manually do a clts() and won't run in to the situation of setting TS_USEDFPU in step "c" above. 3) This was working before the fpu changes, because its a spurious math fault which doesn't corrupt any fpu/sse registers and the task's math state was always in an allocated state. With out the recent lazy fpu allocation changes, while we don't see oops, there is a possible race still present in older kernels(for example, while kernel is using kernel_fpu_begin() in some optimized clear/copy page and an interrupt/softirq happens which uses these padlock instructions generating DNA fault). This is the failing scenario that existed even before the lazy fpu allocation changes: 0. CPU's TS flag is set 1. kernel using FPU in some optimized copy routine and while doing kernel_fpu_begin() takes an interrupt just before doing clts() 2. Takes an interrupt and ipsec uses padlock instruction. And we take a DNA fault as TS flag is still set. 3. We handle the DNA fault and set TS_USEDFPU and clear cr0.ts 4. We complete the padlock routine 5. Go back to step-1, which resumes clts() in kernel_fpu_begin(), finishes the optimized copy routine and does kernel_fpu_end(). At this point, we have cr0.ts again set to '1' but the task's TS_USEFPU is stilll set and not cleared. 6. Now kernel resumes its user operation. And at the next context switch, kernel sees it has do a FP save as TS_USEDFPU is still set and then will do a unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to(). unlazy_fpu() will take a DNA fault, as cr0.ts is '1' and now, because we are in __switch_to(), math_state_restore() will get confused and will restore the next task's FP state and will save it in prev tasks's FP state. Remember, in __switch_to() we are already on the stack of the next task but take a DNA fault for the prev task. This causes the fpu leakage. Fix the padlock instruction usage by calling them inside the context of new routines irq_ts_save/restore(), which clear/restore cr0.ts manually in the interrupt context. This will not generate spurious DNA in the context of the interrupt which will fix the oops encountered and the possible FPU leakage issue. Reported-and-bisected-by:

commit 59f4ff2e upstream This patch (as1119b) will help to reduce the clutter of usb-storage's unusual_devs file by automatically detecting some devices that need the IGNORE_RESIDUE flag. The idea is that devices should never return a non-zero residue for an INQUIRY or a READ CAPACITY command unless they failed to transfer all the requested data. So if one of these commands transfers a standard amount of data but there is a positive residue, we know that the residue is bogus and we can set the flag. This fixes the problems reported in Bugzilla #11125. Signed-off-by:

commit f756cbd4 upstream. This patch (as1110) reverts an earlier patch meant to help with Wireless USB host controllers. These controllers can have bulk maxpacket values larger than 512, which puts unusual constraints on the sizes of scatter-gather list elements. However it turns out that the block layer does not provide the support we need to enforce these constraints; merely changing the DMA alignment mask doesn't help. Hence there's no reason to keep the original patch. The Wireless USB problem will have to be solved a different way. In addition, there is a reason to get rid of the earlier patch. By dereferencing a pointer stored in the ep_in array of struct usb_device, the current code risks an invalid memory access when it runs concurrently with device removal. The members of that array are cleared before the driver's disconnect method is called, so it should not try to use them. Signed-off-by:

commit 7b27718b upstream yesterday I tried to reactivate my old 486 box and wanted to install a current Linux with latest kernel on it. But it turned out that the latest kernel does not boot because the machine crashes early in the setup code. After some debugging it turned out that the problem is the query_ist() function. If this interrupt with that function is called the machine simply locks up. It looks like a BIOS bug. Looking for a workaround for this problem I wrote the attached patch. It checks for the CPUID instruction and if it is not implemented it does not call the speedstep BIOS function. As far as I know speedstep should be available since some Pentium earliest. Alan Cox observed that it's available since the Pentium II, so cpuid levels 4 and 5 can be excluded altogether. H. Peter Anvin cleaned up the code some more: > Right in concept, but I dislike the implementation (duplication of the > CPU detect code we already have). Could you try this patch and see if > it works for you? which, with a small modification to fix a build error with it the resulting kernel boots on my machine. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit c7498081 ] The calls down into prom_printf() when we detect an overflowed stack can recurse again since the overflow stack will be "below" the current kernel stack limit. Prevent this by just returning straight if we are on the stack overflow safe stack already. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 433c5f70 ] Bug reported by Alexander Beregalov. Before we dereference the stack frame or try to peek at the pt_regs magic value, make sure the entire object is within the kernel stack bounds. Signed-off-by:

With the rtl8187 driver, the config routine is not protected against access before a previous call has completed. When this happens, the TX loopback that is needed to change channels may cause the chip to be locked with a reset needed to restore communications. This patch entered mainline as commit 7dcdd073. The problem was found by Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski <herton@mandriva.com.br>, who also suggested this type of fix. Signed-off-by:

Commit efc49181 upstream radeon: misc corrections I have a new PCI-E radeon RV380 series card (PCI device ID 5b64) that hangs in my sparc64 boxes when the init scripts set the font. The problem goes away if I disable acceleration. I haven't figured out that bug yet, but along the way I found some corrections to make based upon some auditing. 1) The RB2D_DC_FLUSH_ALL value used by the kernel fb driver and the XORG video driver differ. I've made the kernel match what XORG is using. 2) In radeonfb_engine_reset() we have top-level code structure that roughly looks like: if (family is 300, 350, or V350) do this; else do that; ... if (family is NOT 300, OR family is NOT 350, OR family is NOT V350) do another thing; this last conditional makes no sense, is always true, and obviously was likely meant to be "family is NOT 300, 350, or V350". So I've made the code match the intent. Signed-off-by:

commit 84e0f3f6 upstream The driver of ITE8212 in pass-through mode (it8212.noraid=1 on cmndline) attempts to use the field `.dma_host_set' of the struct ide_dma_ops in `ide_config_drive_speed' which is set to NULL by default. So give a value to all fields of the struct ide_dma_ops. Signed-off-by:
