commit d847471d upstream Fixes kernel BUG at lib/radix-tree.c:473. Previously the handler was incidentally provided by tmpfs but this was removed with: commit 14fcc23f Author: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Date: Mon Jul 28 15:46:19 2008 -0700 tmpfs: fix kernel BUG in shmem_delete_inode relying on this behaviour was incorrect in any case and the BUG also appeared when the device node was on an ext3 filesystem. v2: override a_ops at open() time rather than mmap() time to minimise races per AKPM's concerns.

commit ebca4f1b upstream Alex Chiang and Matthew Wilcox pointed out that pci_get_dev_by_id() does not properly decrement the reference on the from pointer if it is present, like the documentation for the function states it will. It fixes a pretty bad leak in the hotplug core (we were leaking an entire struct pci_dev for each function of each offlined card, the first time around; subsequent onlines/offlines were ok).

commit 82d63fc9 upstream After commit a97c9bf3 (fix cramfs making duplicate entries in inode cache) in kernel 2.6.14, named-pipe on cramfs does not work properly. It seems the commit make all named-pipe on cramfs share their inode (and named-pipe buffer). Make ..._test() refuse to merge inodes with ->i_ino == 1, take inode setup back to get_cramfs_inode() and make ->drop_inode() evict ones with ->i_ino == 1 immediately. Reported-by:

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:

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:

On the Freescale MPC8610 DMA ASoC driver, this caused the DMA controller to be unneccessarily re-programmed, and apparently it doesn't like that. The DMA will then not operate when instructed.

Upstream-commid-id: be41e941 The Freescale MPC8610 SSI device has the option of using one clock for both transmit and receive (synchronous mode), or independent clocks (asynchronous). The SSI driver, however, programs the SSI into synchronous mode and then tries to program the clock registers independently. The result is that the wrong sample size is usually generated during recording. This patch fixes the discrepancy by restricting the sample rate and sample size of the playback and capture streams. The SSI driver remembers which stream is opened first. When a second stream is opened, that stream is constrained to the same sample rate and size as the first stream. A future version of this driver will lift the sample size restriction. Supporting independent sample rates is more difficult, because only certain codecs provide dual independent clocks.

commit 77332894 upstream The magic write to register 0x82 will often cause PCI config space on my 8168 (PCI ID 10ec:8168, revision 2. mounted in an LG P300 laptop) to be filled with ones during driver load, and thus breaking NIC operation until reboot. If it does not happen on first driver load it can easily be reproduced by unloading and loading the driver a few times. The magic write was added long ago by this commit: Author: François Romieu <romieu@fr.zoreil.com> Date: Sat Jan 10 06:00:46 2004 -0500 [netdrvr r8169] Merge of changes done by Realtek to rtl8169_init_one(): - phy capability settings allows lower or equal capability as suggested in Realtek's changes; - I/O voodoo; - no need to s/mdio_write/RTL8169_WRITE_GMII_REG/; - s/rtl8169_hw_PHY_config/rtl8169_hw_phy_config/; - rtl8169_hw_phy_config(): ad-hoc struct "phy_magic" to limit duplication of code (yep, the u16 -> int conversions should work as expected); - variable renames and whitepace changes ignored.

(cherry-picked from commit 577bdc49) When an event (such as an interrupt) is injected, and the stack is shadowed (and therefore write protected), the guest will exit. The current code will see that the stack is shadowed and emulate a few instructions, each time postponing the injection. Eventually the injection may succeed, but at that time the guest may be unwilling to accept the interrupt (for example, the TPR may have changed). This occurs every once in a while during a Windows 2008 boot. Fix by unshadowing the fault address if the fault was due to an event injection. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit d72609e1 ] Correct sparc64's implementation of FUTEX_OP_ANDN to do a bitwise negate of the oparg parameter before applying the AND operation. All other archs that support FUTEX_OP_ANDN either negate oparg explicitly (frv, ia64, mips, sh, x86), or do so indirectly by using an and-not instruction (powerpc). Since sparc64 has and-not, I chose to use that solution. I've not found any use of FUTEX_OP_ANDN in glibc so the impact of this bug is probably minor. But other user-space components may try to use it so it should still get fixed. Signed-off-by:
