In 2.6.17, there was a problem with cpu_notifiers and XFS. I provided a band-aid solution to solve that problem. In the process, i undid all the changes you both were making to ensure that these notifiers were available only at init time (unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined). We deferred the real fix to 2.6.18. Here is a set of patches that fixes the XFS problem cleanly and makes the cpu notifiers available only at init time (unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined). If CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined then cpu notifiers are available at run time.

Move the i386 VDSO down into a vma and thus randomize it. Besides the security implications, this feature also helps debuggers, which can COW a vma-backed VDSO just like a normal DSO and can thus do single-stepping and other debugging features. It's good for hypervisors (Xen, VMWare) too, which typically live in the same high-mapped address space as the VDSO, hence whenever the VDSO is used, they get lots of guest pagefaults and have to fix such guest accesses up - which slows things down instead of speeding things up (the primary purpose of the VDSO). There's a new CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO (default=y) option, which provides support for older glibcs that still rely on a prelinked high-mapped VDSO. Newer distributions (using glibc 2.3.3 or later) can turn this option off. Turning it off is also recommended for security reasons: attackers cannot use the predictable high-mapped VDSO page as syscall trampoline anymore. There is a new vdso=[0|1] boot option as well, and a runtime /proc/sys/vm/vdso_enabled sysctl switch, that allows the VDSO to be turned on/off. (This version of the VDSO-randomization patch also has working ELF coredumping, the previous patch crashed in the coredumping code.) This code is a combined work of the exec-shield VDSO randomization code and Gerd Hoffmann's hypervisor-centric VDSO patch. Rusty Russell started this patch and i completed it.

Commit 1e9f28fa ("[PATCH] sched: new sched domain for representing multi-core") incorrectly made SCHED_SMT and some of the structures it uses dependent on SMP. However, this is wrong, the structures are only defined if X86_HT, so SCHED_SMT has to depend on that as well.

Commit c3ff8ec3 ("[PATCH] i386: Don't miss pending signals returning to user mode after signal processing") meant that vm86 interrupt/signal handling got broken for the case when vm86 is called from kernel space. In this scenario, if signal is pending because of vm86 interrupt, do_notify_resume/do_signal exits immediately due to user_mode() check, without processing any signals. Thus, resume_userspace handler is spinning in a tight loop with signal pending and TIF_SIGPENDING is set. Previously everything worked Ok. No in-tree usage of vm86() from kernel space exists, but I've heard about a number of projects out there which use vm86 calls from kernel, one of them being this, for instance: http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/vesafb-tng/ The following patch fixes the issue.

Remove the limit of 256 interrupt vectors by changing the value stored in orig_{e,r}ax to be the complemented interrupt vector. The orig_{e,r}ax needs to be < 0 to allow the signal code to distinguish between return from interrupt and return from syscall. With this change applied, NR_IRQS can be > 256. Xen extends the IRQ numbering space to include room for dynamically allocated virtual interrupts (in the range 256-511), which requires a more permissive interface to do_IRQ.

由 KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于
With Goto-san's patch, we can add new pgdat/node at runtime. I'm now considering node-hot-add with cpu + memory on ACPI. I found acpi container, which describes node, could evaluate cpu before memory. This means cpu-hot-add occurs before memory hot add. In most part, cpu-hot-add doesn't depend on node hot add. But register_cpu(), which creates symbolic link from node to cpu, requires that node should be onlined before register_cpu(). When a node is onlined, its pgdat should be there. This patch-set holds off creating symbolic link from node to cpu until node is onlined. This removes node arguments from register_cpu(). Now, register_cpu() requires 'struct node' as its argument. But the array of struct node is now unified in driver/base/node.c now (By Goto's node hotplug patch). We can get struct node in generic way. So, this argument is not necessary now. This patch also guarantees add cpu under node only when node is onlined. It is necessary for node-hot-add vs. cpu-hot-add patch following this. Moreover, register_cpu calculates cpu->node_id by cpu_to_node() without regard to its 'struct node *root' argument. This patch removes it. Also modify callers of register_cpu()/unregister_cpu, whose args are changed by register-cpu-remove-node-struct patch.

This is to refresh node_data[] array for ia64. As I mentioned previous patches, ia64 has copies of information of pgdat address array on each node as per node data. At v2 of node_add, this function used stop_machine_run() to update them. (I wished that they were copied safety as much as possible.) But, in this patch, this arrays are just copied simply, and set node_online_map bit after completion of pgdat initialization. So, kernel must touch NODE_DATA() macro after checking node_online_map(). (Current code has already done it.) This is more simple way for just hot-add..... Note : It will be problem when hot-remove will occur, because, even if online_map bit is set, kernel may touch NODE_DATA() due to race condition. :-( Signed-off-by: NYasunori Goto <y-goto@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: "Luck, Tony" <tony.luck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

When new node becomes enable by hot-add, new sysfs file must be created for new node. So, if new node is enabled by add_memory(), register_one_node() is called to create it. In addition, I386's arch_register_node() and a part of register_nodes() of powerpc are consolidated to register_one_node() as a generic_code(). This is tested by Tiger4(IPF) with node hot-plug emulation.

Take two, now without spurious whitespace :( Applies to git & 2.6.17-rc6 CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW existed for x86_64 in 2.4, but seems to have gone AWOL in 2.6. I've pretty much just copied this over from the 2.4 code, with appropriate tweaks for the 2.6 kernel, plus a bugfix. I'd personally rather see it printed out the way other arches do it, i.e. bytes-remaining-until-overflow, rather than having to do the subtraction yourself. Also, only 128 bytes remaining seems awfully late to issue a warning.

On some i386/x86_64 systems, sending an NMI IPI as a broadcast will reset the system. This seems to be a BIOS bug which affects machines where one or more cpus are not under OS control. It occurs on HT systems with a version of the OS that is not compiled without HT support. It also occurs when a system is booted with max_cpus=n where 2 <= n < cpus known to the BIOS. The fix is to always send NMI IPI as a mask instead of as a broadcast.

x86_64 and i386 behave inconsistently when sending an IPI on vector 2 (NMI_VECTOR). Make both behave the same, so IPI 2 is sent as NMI. The crash code was abusing send_IPI_allbutself() by passing a code instead of a vector, it only worked because crash knew about the internal code of send_IPI_allbutself(). Change crash to use NMI_VECTOR instead, and remove the comment about how crash was abusing the function. This patch is a pre-requisite for fixing the problem where sending an IPI as NMI would reboot some Dell Xeon systems. I cannot fix that problem while crash continus to abuse send_IPI_allbutself(). It also removes the inconsistency between i386 and x86_64 for NMI_VECTOR. That will simplify all the RAS code that needs to bring all the cpus to a clean stop, even when one or more cpus are spinning disabled.
