      x86/nmi: Fix section mismatch warnings on 32-bit · eeaaa96a
      Don Zickus 提交于
      It was reported that compiling for 32-bit caused a bunch of
      section mismatch warnings:
      
       VDSOSYM arch/x86/vdso/vdso32-syms.lds
        LD      arch/x86/vdso/built-in.o

       WARNING: arch/x86/built-in.o(.data+0x5af0): Section mismatch in
       reference from the variable test_nmi_ipi_callback_na.10451 to
       the function .init.text:test_nmi_ipi_callback() [...]
      
       WARNING: arch/x86/built-in.o(.data+0x5b04): Section mismatch in
       reference from the variable nmi_unk_cb_na.10399 to the function
       .init.text:nmi_unk_cb() The variable nmi_unk_cb_na.10399
       references the function __init nmi_unk_cb() [...]
      
      Both of these are attributed to the internal representation of
      the nmiaction struct created during register_nmi_handler.  The
      reason for this is that those structs are not defined in the
      init section whereas the rest of the code in nmi_selftest.c is.
      
      To resolve this, I created a new #define,
      register_nmi_handler_initonly, that tags the struct as
      __initdata to resolve the mismatch.  This #define should only be
      used in rare situations where the register/unregister is called
      during init of the kernel.
      
      Big thanks to Jan Beulich for decoding this for me as I didn't
      have a clue what was going on.

      powerpc: Fix kernel panic during kernel module load · 3c752965
      Steffen Rumler 提交于
      This fixes a problem which can causes kernel oopses while loading
      a kernel module.
      
      According to the PowerPC EABI specification, GPR r11 is assigned
      the dedicated function to point to the previous stack frame.
      In the powerpc-specific kernel module loader, do_plt_call()
      (in arch/powerpc/kernel/module_32.c), GPR r11 is also used
      to generate trampoline code.
      
      This combination crashes the kernel, in the case where the compiler
      chooses to use a helper function for saving GPRs on entry, and the
      module loader has placed the .init.text section far away from the
      .text section, meaning that it has to generate a trampoline for
      functions in the .init.text section to call the GPR save helper.
      Because the trampoline trashes r11, references to the stack frame
      using r11 can cause an oops.
      
      The fix just uses GPR r12 instead of GPR r11 for generating the
      trampoline code.  According to the statements from Freescale, this is
      safe from an EABI perspective.
      
      I've tested the fix for kernel 2.6.33 on MPC8541.

      x86/uv: Fix UV2 BAU legacy mode · d5d2d2ee
      Cliff Wickman 提交于
      The SGI Altix UV2 BAU (Broadcast Assist Unit) as used for
      tlb-shootdown (selective broadcast mode) always uses UV2
      broadcast descriptor format. There is no need to clear the
      'legacy' (UV1) mode, because the hardware always uses UV2 mode
      for selective broadcast.
      
      But the BIOS uses general broadcast and legacy mode, and the
      hardware pays attention to the legacy mode bit for general
      broadcast. So the kernel must not clear that mode bit.

      powerpc/time: Sanity check of decrementer expiration is necessary · 860aed25
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This reverts 68568add ("powerpc/time: Remove unnecessary sanity check
      of decrementer expiration").  We do need to check whether we have reached
      the expiration time of the next event, because we sometimes get an early
      decrementer interrupt, most notably when we set the decrementer to 1 in
      arch_irq_work_raise().  The effect of not having the sanity check is that
      if timer_interrupt() gets called early, we leave the decrementer set to
      its maximum value, which means we then don't get any more decrementer
      interrupts for about 4 seconds (or longer, depending on timebase
      frequency).  I saw these pauses as a consequence of getting a stray
      hypervisor decrementer interrupt left over from exiting a KVM guest.
      
      This isn't quite a straight revert because of changes to the surrounding
      code, but it restores the same algorithm as was previously used.

      Revert "mm: correctly synchronize rss-counters at exit/exec" · 48d212a2
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This reverts commit 40af1bbd.
      
      It's horribly and utterly broken for at least the following reasons:
      
       - calling sync_mm_rss() from mmput() is fundamentally wrong, because
         there's absolutely no reason to believe that the task that does the
         mmput() always does it on its own VM.  Example: fork, ptrace, /proc -
         you name it.
      
       - calling it *after* having done mmdrop() on it is doubly insane, since
         the mm struct may well be gone now.
      
       - testing mm against NULL before you call it is insane too, since a
      NULL mm there would have caused oopses long before.
      
      .. and those are just the three bugs I found before I decided to give up
      looking for me and revert it asap.  I should have caught it before I
      even took it, but I trusted Andrew too much.

      ext4: fix the free blocks calculation for ext3 file systems w/ uninit_bg · b0dd6b70
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      Ext3 filesystems that are converted to use as many ext4 file system
      features as possible will enable uninit_bg to speed up e2fsck times.
      These file systems will have a native ext3 layout of inode tables and
      block allocation bitmaps (as opposed to ext4's flex_bg layout).
      Unfortunately, in these cases, when first allocating a block in an
      uninitialized block group, ext4 would incorrectly calculate the number
      of free blocks in that block group, and then errorneously report that
      the file system was corrupt:
      
      EXT4-fs error (device vdd): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:741: group 30, 32254 clusters in bitmap, 32258 in gd
      
      This problem can be reproduced via:
      
          mke2fs -q -t ext4 -O ^flex_bg /dev/vdd 5g
          mount -t ext4 /dev/vdd /mnt
          fallocate -l 4600m /mnt/test
      
      The problem was caused by a bone headed mistake in the check to see if a
      particular metadata block was part of the block group.

      mm: correctly synchronize rss-counters at exit/exec · 40af1bbd
      Konstantin Khlebnikov 提交于
      mm->rss_stat counters have per-task delta: task->rss_stat.  Before
      changing task->mm pointer the kernel must flush this delta with
      sync_mm_rss().
      
      do_exit() already calls sync_mm_rss() to flush the rss-counters before
      committing the rss statistics into task->signal->maxrss, taskstats,
      audit and other stuff.  Unfortunately the kernel does this before
      calling mm_release(), which can call put_user() for processing
      task->clear_child_tid.  So at this point we can trigger page-faults and
      task->rss_stat becomes non-zero again.  As a result mm->rss_stat becomes
      inconsistent and check_mm() will print something like this:
      
      | BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff88020813c380 idx:1 val:-1
      | BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff88020813c380 idx:2 val:1
      
      This patch moves sync_mm_rss() into mm_release(), and moves mm_release()
      out of do_exit() and calls it earlier.  After mm_release() there should
      be no pagefaults.

      btree: fix tree corruption in btree_get_prev() · cbf8ae32
      Roland Dreier 提交于
      The memory the parameter __key points to is used as an iterator in
      btree_get_prev(), so if we save off a bkey() pointer in retry_key and
      then assign that to __key, we'll end up corrupting the btree internals
      when we do eg
      
      	longcpy(__key, bkey(geo, node, i), geo->keylen);
      
      to return the key value.  What we should do instead is use longcpy() to
      copy the key value that retry_key points to __key.
      
      This can cause a btree to get corrupted by seemingly read-only
      operations such as btree_for_each_safe.

      ipc: shm: restore MADV_REMOVE functionality on shared memory segments · 7d8a4569
      Will Deacon 提交于
      Commit 17cf28af ("mm/fs: remove truncate_range") removed the
      truncate_range inode operation in favour of the fallocate file
      operation.
      
      When using SYSV IPC shared memory segments, calling madvise with the
      MADV_REMOVE advice on an area of shared memory will attempt to invoke
      the .fallocate function for the shm_file_operations, which is NULL and
      therefore returns -EOPNOTSUPP to userspace.  The previous behaviour
      would inherit the inode_operations from the underlying tmpfs file and
      invoke truncate_range there.
      
      This patch restores the previous behaviour by wrapping the underlying
      fallocate function in shm_fallocate, as we do for fsync.

      mm->start_stack/end_stack values (and even has some custom VMA flags
      set).
      
      So to be able to restore mm->start_stack/end_stack drop vma flags test,
      but still require the underlying VMA to exist.
      
      As always note this feature is under CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE and
      requires CAP_SYS_RESOURCE to be granted.

      c/r: prctl: add ability to get clear_tid_address · 300f786b
      Cyrill Gorcunov 提交于
      Zero is written at clear_tid_address when the process exits.  This
      functionality is used by pthread_join().
      
      We already have sys_set_tid_address() to change this address for the
      current task but there is no way to obtain it from user space.
      
      Without the ability to find this address and dump it we can't restore
      pthread'ed apps which call pthread_join() once they have been restored.
      
      This patch introduces the PR_GET_TID_ADDRESS prctl option which allows
      the current process to obtain own clear_tid_address.
      
      This feature is available iif CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is set.

      Make sure the address being set is greater than mmap_min_addr (as
      suggested by Kees Cook).
