sys_unshare(CLONE_SIGHAND) is broken, the code under 'if (new_sigh)' is never executed but very wrong. Just remove it to avoid a confusion, task_lock() has nothing to do with ->sighand changing. Also, change the comment in unshare_sighand(). Yes, CLONE_THREAD implies CLONE_SIGHAND, but still it looks confusing. Also, we don't need to check current->sighand != NULL.

Peter Zijlstra authored
Fix the locking of signal->tty. Use ->sighand->siglock to protect ->signal->tty; this lock is already used by most other members of ->signal/->sighand. And unless we are 'current' or the tasklist_lock is held we need ->siglock to access ->signal anyway. (NOTE: sys_unshare() is broken wrt ->sighand locking rules) Note that tty_mutex is held over tty destruction, so while holding tty_mutex any tty pointer remains valid. Otherwise the lifetime of ttys are governed by their open file handles. This leaves some holes for tty access from signal->tty (or any other non file related tty access). It solves the tty SLAB scribbles we were seeing. (NOTE: the change from group_send_sig_info to __group_send_sig_info needs to be examined by someone familiar with the security framework, I think it is safe given the SEND_SIG_PRIV from other __group_send_sig_info invocations) [schwidefsky@de.ibm.com: 3270 fix] [akpm@osdl.org: various post-viro fixes] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Cc: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Cc: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Cc: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Cc: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Cc: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> Cc: "David S.

This patch re-adds the verify_pmtmr_rate functionality from 2.6.17 that I dropped 2.6.18. This resolves problems seen on older K6 ASUS boards where the ACPI PM timer runs too fast.

That's why. CPEI(Corrected Platform Error Interrupt) is ia64 specific irq, is allowed to pin to particular processor which selected by the platform, and even it is PER_CPU but it has set_affinity handler (=iosapic_set_affinity) as same as other IO-SAPIC-level interrupts. (I don't know why, but I guess that there would be typical situation where the handler for migration is needed, such as hotplug - the processor going to be offline/hot-removed.) To shut up this warning, there are 2 way at least: a) fix CPEI stuff b) prohibit setting affinity to PER_CPU irq I'm not sure what stuff of CPEI need to be fixed, but I think that returning error to attempting move PER_CPU irq is useful for all applications since it will never work. Following small patch takes b) style. It works, the warning disappeared and irqbalance still runs well.

Don't mask the lower 12-bit of the page fault address. In the current m32r kernel implementation, we use an access exception to detect page faults. This patch fixes ace_handler (access exception handler) for m32r. In order to check userspace address in do_page_fault, we have to pass full 32-bit address to do_page_fault.

The m32r kernel 2.6.18-rc1 or after cause build errors of "unknown isa configuration" for userspace application programs, such as glibc, gdb, etc. This is because the recent kernel do not include linux/config.h not to expose kernel headers for userspace. To fix the above compile errors, this patch fixes two headers ptrace.h and sigcontext.h for m32r and makes them platform-independent.

fallback_alloc() could end up calling cpuset_zone_allowed() with interrupts disabled (by code in kmem_cache_alloc_node()), but without __GFP_HARDWALL set, leading to a possible call of a sleeping function with interrupts disabled.

It appears that include/asm-arm/bug.h requires include/linux/stddef.h for the definition of NULL. It seems that stddef.h was always included indirectly in most cases, and that issue was properly fixed a while ago. Then commit 5047f09b incorrectly reverted change from commit ff10952a (bad dwmw2) and the problem recently resurfaced. Because the third argument to __bug() is never used anyway, RMK suggested getting rid of it entirely instead of readding #include <linux/stddef.h> which this patch does.

Follow-up to patch "Consolidate driver registering": Since I plan the lifetime of Linux 2.6.20 to be the deprecation phase of CONFIG_IEEE1394_EXPORT_FULL_API, it seems fair to keep all previously exported symbols available with this option until this phase is over.

This patch consolidates some bookkeeping for driver registering. It closely models what pci_register_driver() does. The main addition is that the owner of the driver is set, so we get a proper symlink for /sys/bus/ieee1394/driver/*/module. Also moves setting of name and bus type into nodemgr. Because of this, we can remove the EXPORT_SYMBOL for ieee1394_bus_type, since it's now only used in ieee1394.ko. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

If "modprobe ohci1394" was quickly followed by "modprobe -r ohci1394", say with 1 second pause in between, the modprobe -r got stuck in uninterruptible sleep in kthread_stop. At the same time the knodemgrd slept uninterruptibly in bus_rescan_devices_helper. That's because driver_detach took the semaphore of the PCI device and bus_rescan_devices_helper wanted to take the semaphore of the FireWire host device's parent, which is the same semaphore. This was a regression since Linux 2.6.16, commit bf74ad5b, "Hold the device's parent's lock during probe and remove". The fix (or workaround) adds a dummy driver to the hpsb_host device. Now bus_rescan_devices_helper won't scan the host device anymore. This doesn't hurt since we have no drivers which will bind to these devices and it is unlikely that there will ever be such a driver. The dummy driver is befittingly presented as a representation of ieee1394 itself. Fixes: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6706Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
