      Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumps · 0eead9ab
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      akiphie points out that a.out core-dumps have that odd task struct
      dumping that was never used and was never really a good idea (it goes
      back into the mists of history, probably the original core-dumping
      code).  Just remove it.
      
      Also do the access_ok() check on dump_write().  It probably doesn't
      matter (since normal filesystems all seem to do it anyway), but he
      points out that it's normally done by the VFS layer, so ...
      
      [ I suspect that we should possibly do "vfs_write()" instead of
        calling ->write directly.  That also does the whole fsnotify and write
        statistics thing, which may or may not be a good idea. ]
      
      And just to be anal, do this all for the x86-64 32-bit a.out emulation
      code too, even though it's not enabled (and won't currently even
      compile)

      x86, numa: For each node, register the memory blocks actually used · 73cf624d

      Russ reported SGI UV is broken recently. He said:
      
      | The SRAT table shows that memory range is spread over two nodes.
      |
      | SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 100000000-800000000
      | SRAT: Node 1 PXM 1 800000000-1000000000
      | SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 1000000000-1080000000
      |
      |Previously, the kernel early_node_map[] would show three entries
      |with the proper node.
      |
      |[    0.000000]     0: 0x00100000 -> 0x00800000
      |[    0.000000]     1: 0x00800000 -> 0x01000000
      |[    0.000000]     0: 0x01000000 -> 0x01080000
      |
      |The problem is recent community kernel early_node_map[] shows
      |only two entries with the node 0 entry overlapping the node 1
      |entry.

      Before that commit, register_active_regions() is called for every SRAT memory
      entry right away.
      
      Use nodememblk_range[] instead of nodes[] in order to make sure we
      capture the actual memory blocks registered with each node.  nodes[]
      contains an extended range which spans all memory regions associated
      with a node, but that does not mean that all the memory in between are
      included.

      KVM: x86: Move TSC reset out of vmcb_init · 47008cd8
      Zachary Amsden 提交于
      The VMCB is reset whenever we receive a startup IPI, so Linux is setting
      TSC back to zero happens very late in the boot process and destabilizing
      the TSC.  Instead, just set TSC to zero once at VCPU creation time.
      
      Why the separate patch?  So git-bisect is your friend.

      On reset, VMCB TSC should be set to zero.  Instead, code was setting

      x86, AMD, MCE thresholding: Fix the MCi_MISCj iteration order · 6dcbfe4f
      Borislav Petkov 提交于
      This fixes possible cases of not collecting valid error info in
      the MCE error thresholding groups on F10h hardware.
      
      The current code contains a subtle problem of checking only the
      Valid bit of MSR0000_0413 (which is MC4_MISC0 - DRAM
      thresholding group) in its first iteration and breaking out if
      the bit is cleared.
      
      But (!), this MSR contains an offset value, BlkPtr[31:24], which
      points to the remaining MSRs in this thresholding group which
      might contain valid information too. But if we bail out only
      after we checked the valid bit in the first MSR and not the
      block pointer too, we miss that other information.
      
      The thing is, MC4_MISC0[BlkPtr] is not predicated on
      MCi_STATUS[MiscV] or MC4_MISC0[Valid] and should be checked
      prior to iterating over the MCI_MISCj thresholding group,
      irrespective of the MC4_MISC0[Valid] setting.

      modules: Fix module_bug_list list corruption race · 5336377d
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      With all the recent module loading cleanups, we've minimized the code
      that sits under module_mutex, fixing various deadlocks and making it
      possible to do most of the module loading in parallel.
      
      However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code
      that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling.  That code was
      doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for
      dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific
      "module_finalize()" rather than from generic code.
      
      Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin
      with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the
      module loading lock any more.
      
      So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away
      from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the
      process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations
      are now safe.
      
      Future fixups:
       - move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it
         belongs.
       - get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules
         (called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain
         for other reasons.

      omap: iommu-load cam register before flushing the entry · 0fa035e5
      Hari Kanigeri 提交于
      The flush_iotlb_page is not loading the cam register before flushing
      the cam entry. This causes wrong entry to be flushed out from the TLB, and
      if the entry happens to be a locked TLB entry it would lead to MMU faults.
      
      The fix is to load the cam register with the address to be flushed before
      flushing the TLB entry.
