The work function dispatched with schedule_work() can be run twice on different cpus because run_workqueue clears the WORK_STRUCT_PENDING bit and then executes the function. Another cpu can call schedule_work() again and run the work function a second time before the first call is completed. This patch serialized the etr and stp work function with a mutex.

This converts the etr and stp code to the new stop_machine interface which allows to synchronize all cpus without allocating any memory. This way we get rid of the only reason why we haven't converted s390 to the generic IPI interface yet.

arch_setup_additional_pages currently gets two arguments, the binary format descripton and an indication if the process uses an executable stack or not. The second argument is not used by anybody, it could be removed without replacement. What actually does make sense is to pass an indication if the process uses the elf interpreter or not. The glibc code will not use anything from the vdso if the process does not use the dynamic linker, so for statically linked binaries the architecture backend can choose not to map the vdso.

The vmcp driver uses the session->mutex for concurrent access of the data structures. Therefore, the BKL in vmcp_open does not protect against any other function in the driver. The BLK in vmcp_open would protect concurrent access to the module init but all necessary steps ave finished before misc_register is called. We can safely remove the lock_kernel from vcmp.

On s390 we have ret_from_fork jump not to the "do all work we normally do on return from syscall" as on x86, ppc, etc., but to the "do all such work except audit". Historical reasons - the codepath triggered when we have AUDIT process flag set is separated from the normall one and they converge at sysc_return, which is the common part of post-syscall work. And does not include calling audit_syscall_exit() - that's done in the end of sysc_tracesys path, just before that path jumps to sysc_return. IOW, the child returning from fork()/clone()/vfork() doesn't call audit_syscall_exit() at all, so no matter what we do with its audit context, we are not going to see the audit entry. The fix is simple: have ret_from_fork go to the point just past the call of sys_.... in the 'we have AUDIT flag set' path. There we have (64bit variant; for 31bit the situation is the same): sysc_tracenogo: tm __TI_flags+7(%r9),(_TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE|_TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT) jz sysc_return la %r2,SP_PTREGS(%r15) # load pt_regs larl %r14,sysc_return # return point is sysc_return jg do_syscall_trace_exit which is precisely what we need - check the flag, bugger off to sysc_return if not set, otherwise call do_syscall_trace_exit() and bugger off to sysc_return. r9 has just been properly set by ret_from_fork itself, so we are fine. Tested on s390x, seems to work fine. WARNING: it's been about 16 years since my last contact with 3X0 assembler[1], so additional review would be very welcome. I don't think I've managed to screw it up, but... [1] that *was* in another country and besides, the box is dead...

Common code doesn't call arch_update_cpu_topology() anymore on cpu hotplug. But our architecture backend relied on that in order to update the cpu_core_map. For machines without cpu topology support this leads uninitialized cpu_core_maps for later on added cpus. To solve this just initialize the maps with cpu_possible_map, since that will be always valid for machines without topology support.

there's a new ptrace arch level feature in .28: config X86_PTRACE_BTS bool "Branch Trace Store" it has broken fork() handling: the old DS area gets copied over into a new task without clearing it. Fixes exist but they came too late: c5dee617: x86, bts: memory accounting bf53de90: x86, bts: add fork and exit handling and are queued up for v2.6.29. This shows that the facility is still not tested well enough to release into a stable kernel - disable it for now and reactivate in .29. In .29 the hardware-branch-tracer will use the DS/BTS facilities too - hopefully resulting in better code. Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

When deleting an edac device, we have to wait for its edac_dev.work to be completed before deleting the whole edac_dev structure. Since we have no idea which work in current edac_poller's workqueue is the work we are conerned about, we wait for all work in the edac_poller's workqueue to be proceseed. This is done via flush_cpu_workqueue() which inserts a wq_barrier into the tail of the workqueue and then sleeping on the completion of this wq_barrier. The edac_poller will wake up sleepers when it is found. EDAC core creates only one kernel worker thread, edac_poller, to run the works of all current edac devices. They share the same callback function of edac_device_workq_function(), which would grab the mutex of device_ctls_mutex first before it checks the device. This is exactly where edac_poller and rmmod would have a great chance to deadlock. In below call trace of rmmod > ... > edac_device_del_device > edac_device_workq_teardown > flush_workqueue > flush_cpu_workqueue, device_ctls_mutex would have already been grabbed by edac_device_del_device(). So, on one hand rmmod would sleep on the completion of a wq_barrier, holding device_ctls_mutex; on the other hand edac_poller would be blocked on the same mutex when it's running any one of works of existing edac evices(Note, this edac_dev.work is likely to be totally irrelevant to the one that is being removed right now)and never would have a chance to run the work of above wq_barrier to wake rmmod up. edac_device_workq_teardown() should not be called within the critical region of device_ctls_mutex. Just like is done in edac_pci_del_device() and edac_mc_del_mc(), where edac_pci_workq_teardown() and edac_mc_workq_teardown() are called after related mutex are released. Moreover, an edac_dev.work should check first if it is being removed. If this is the case, then it should bail out immediately. Since not all of existing edac devices are to be removed, this "shutting flag" should be contained to edac device being removed. The current edac_dev.op_state can be used to serve this purpose. The original deadlock problem and the solution have been witnessed and tested on actual hardware. Without the solution, rmmod an edac driver would result in below deadlock: root@localhost:/root> rmmod mv64x60_edac EDAC DEBUG: mv64x60_dma_err_remove() EDAC DEBUG: edac_device_del_device() EDAC DEBUG: find_edac_device_by_dev() (hang for a moment) INFO: task edac-poller:2030 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

Impact: Prevent kernel crash with posix timer clockid CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW commit 2d42244a (clocksource: introduce CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW) introduced a new clockid, which is only available to read out the raw not NTP adjusted system time. The above commit did not prevent that a posix timer can be created with that clockid. The timer_create() syscall succeeds and initializes the timer to a non existing hrtimer base. When the timer is deleted either by timer_delete() or by the exit() cleanup the kernel crashes. Prevent the creation of timers for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW by setting the posix clock function to no_timer_create which returns an error code.

Impact: fix deadlock This is in response to the following bug report: Bug-Entry : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12100 Subject : resume (S2R) broken by Intel microcode module, on A110L Submitter : Andreas Mohr <andi@lisas.de> Date : 2008-11-25 08:48 (19 days old) Handled-By : Dmitry Adamushko <dmitry.adamushko@gmail.com> [ The deadlock scenario has been discovered by Andreas Mohr ] I think I might have a logical explanation why the system: (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12100) might hang upon resuming, OTOH it should have likely hanged each and every time. (1) possible deadlock in microcode_resume_cpu() if either 'if' section is taken; (2) now, I don't see it in spec. and can't experimentally verify it (newer ucodes don't seem to be available for my Core2duo)... but logically-wise, I'd think that when read upon resuming, the 'microcode revision' (MSR 0x8B) should be back to its original one (we need to reload ucode anyway so it doesn't seem logical if a cpu doesn't drop the version)... if so, the comparison with memcmp() for the full 'struct cpu_signature' is wrong... and that's how one of the aforementioned 'if' sections might have been triggered - leading to a deadlock. Obviously, in my tests I simulated loading/resuming with the ucode of the same version (just to see that the file is loaded/re-loaded upon resuming) so this issue has never popped up. I'd appreciate if someone with an appropriate system might give a try to the 2nd patch (titled "fix a comparison && deadlock..."). In any case, the deadlock situation is a must-have fix.
