Iff the parent has TIF_DEBUG set, _and_ clone_flags includes CLONE_PTRACE we should set the TIF_DEBUG flag for the child and increment the ocd refcount. Otherwise, the TIF_DEBUG flag must be unset. Currently, the child inherits TIF_DEBUG from the parent before copy_thread is called, so TIF_DEBUG may be already be set before we determine whether the child is supposed to inherit debugging capabilities from the parent or not. This means that ocd_enable() won't increment the refcount, because TIF_DEBUG is already set, and that TIF_DEBUG will be set for processes that aren't being debugged. This leads to a refcounting asymmetry, which may show up as ------------[ cut here ]------------ Badness at arch/avr32/kernel/ocd.c:73 PC is at ocd_disable+0x34/0x60 LR is at put_lock_stats+0xa/0x20 as reported by David Brownell. Happens when strace'ing a process that forks a new child process, e.g. "strace mount -tjffs2 mtd1 /mnt", and subsequently killing the child process (e.g. "umount /mnt".)

Some parts of the kernel now do things like do *_user() accesses while set_fs(KERNEL_DS) that fault on purpose. See, for example, the code added by changeset a0c1e907 ("futex: runtime enable pi and robust functionality"). That trips up the ASI sanity checking we make in do_kernel_fault(). Just remove it for now. Maybe we can add it back later with an added conditional which looks at the current get_fs() value. Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

In commit e6bafba5, a bug was fixed that involved converting !x & y to !(x & y). The code below shows the same pattern, and thus should perhaps be fixed in the same way. This is not tested and clearly changes the semantics, so it is only something to consider. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @@ expression E1,E2; @@ ( !E1 & !E2 | - !E1 & E2 + !(E1 & E2) ) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: NJulia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

I'm currently adding those printouts back > in the hope of seeing where and when the caps get broken. That turned out to be very illuminating: --- dmesg-2.6.24-git7 2008-02-24 18:01:25.295851000 +0100 +++ dmesg-2.6.24-git8 2008-02-24 18:01:25.530358000 +0100 ...

(The first two lines are printout loops from -git7 forward-ported to -git8, the third line is the same printout loop added just after the xor-with-cleared_cpu_caps[] loop.) Here's how the breakage occurs: 1. arch/x86/kernel/tsc_32.c:tsc_init() sees !cpu_has_tsc, so bails and calls setup_clear_cpu_cap(X86_FEATURE_TSC). 2. include/asm-x86/cpufeature.h:setup_clear_cpu_cap(bit) clears the bit in boot_cpu_data and sets it in cleared_cpu_caps 3. arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:identify_cpu() XORs all caps in with cleared_cpu_caps HOWEVER, at this point c->x86_capability correctly has TSC Off, cleared_cpu_caps has TSC On, so the XOR incorrectly sets TSC to On in c->x86_capability, with disastrous results. The real bug is that clearing bits with XOR only works if the bits are known to be 1 prior to the XOR, and that's not true here. A simple fix is to convert the XOR to AND-NOT instead. The following patch does that, and allows my 486 to boot 2.6.25-rc kernels again. [ mingo@elte.hu: fixed a similar bug in setup_64.c as well. ] The breakage was introduced via commit 7d851c8d.

Currently, there is no way for print_stack_trace() to determine whether a given stack trace entry was deemed reliable or not, simply because save_stack_trace() does not record this information. (Perhaps needless to say, this makes the saved stack traces A LOT harder to read, and probably with no other benefits, since debugging features that use save_stack_trace() most likely also require frame pointers, etc.) This patch reverts to the old behaviour of only recording the reliable trace entries for saved stack traces.

based on a report from Arne Georg Gleditsch about user-space apps misbehaving after toggling /proc/sys/kernel/vsyscall64, a review of the code revealed that the "NOP patching" done there is fundamentally unsafe for a number of reasons: 1) the patching code runs without synchronizing other CPUs 2) it inserts NOPs even if there is no clock source which provides vread 3) when the clock source changes to one without vread we run in exactly the same problem as in #2 4) if nobody toggles the proc entry from 1 to 0 and to 1 again, then the syscall is not patched out as a result it is possible to break user-space via this patching. The only safe thing for now is to remove the patching. This code was broken since v2.6.21.

The KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE constant was mis-named, as we not only map the kernel text but data, bss and init sections as well. That name led me on the wrong path with the KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE regression, because i knew how big of _text_ my images have and i knew about the 40 MB "text" limit so i wrongly thought to be on the safe side of the 40 MB limit with my 29 MB of text, while the total image size was slightly above 40 MB.

recently the 64-bit allyesconfig bzImage kernel started spontaneously rebooting during early bootup. after a few fun hours spent with early init debugging, it turns out that we've got this rather annoying limit on the size of the kernel image: #define KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE (40*1024*1024) which limit my vmlinux just happened to pass: text data bss dec hex filename 29703744 4222751 8646224c 42572719 2899baf vmlinux 40 MB is 42572719 bytes, so my vmlinux was just 1.5% above this limit :-/ So it happily crashed right in head_64.S, which - as we all know - is the most debuggable code in the whole architecture ;-) So increase the limit to allow an up to 128MB kernel image to be mapped. (should anyone be that crazy or lazy) We have a full 4K of pagetable (level2_kernel_pgt) allocated for these mappings already, so there's no RAM overhead and the limit was rather pointless and arbitrary.

The proper way to terminate the e820 chain is with %ebx == 0 on the last legitimate memory block. However, several BIOSes don't do that and instead return error (CF = 1) when trying to read off the end of the list. For this error return, %eax doesn't necessarily return the SMAP signature -- correctly so, since %ah should contain an error code in this case. To deal with some particularly broken BIOSes, we clear the entire e820 chain if the SMAP signature is missing in the middle, indicating a plain insane e820 implementation. However, we need to make the test for CF = 1 before the SMAP check. This fixes at least one HP laptop (nc6400) for which none of the memory-probing methods (e820, e801, 88) functioned fully according to spec. Signed-off-by: NH.

Hi all, Beginning from commits close to v2.6.25-rc2, running lguest always oopses the host kernel. Oops is at [1]. Bisection led to the following commit: commit 37cc8d7f x86/early_ioremap: don't assume we're using swapper_pg_dir At the early stages of boot, before the kernel pagetable has been fully initialized, a Xen kernel will still be running off the Xen-provided pagetables rather than swapper_pg_dir[]. Therefore, readback cr3 to determine the base of the pagetable rather than assuming swapper_pg_dir[]. static inline pmd_t * __init early_ioremap_pmd(unsigned long addr) { - pgd_t *pgd = &swapper_pg_dir[pgd_index(addr)]; + /* Don't assume we're using swapper_pg_dir at this point */ + pgd_t *base = __va(read_cr3()); + pgd_t *pgd = &base[pgd_index(addr)]; pud_t *pud = pud_offset(pgd, addr); pmd_t *pmd = pmd_offset(pud, addr); Trying to analyze the problem, it seems on the guest side of lguest, %cr3 has a different value from &swapper_pg-dir (which is AFAIK fine on a pravirt guest): Putting some debugging messages in early_ioremap_pmd: /* Appears 3 times */ [ 0.000000] *************************** [ 0.000000] __va(%cr3) = c0000000, &swapper_pg_dir = c02cc000 [ 0.000000] *************************** After 8 hours of debugging and staring on lguest code, I noticed something strange in paravirt_ops->set_pmd hypercall invocation: static void lguest_set_pmd(pmd_t *pmdp, pmd_t pmdval) { *pmdp = pmdval; lazy_hcall(LHCALL_SET_PMD, __pa(pmdp)&PAGE_MASK, (__pa(pmdp)&(PAGE_SIZE-1))/4, 0); } The first hcall parameter is global pgdir which looks fine. The second parameter is the pmd index in the pgdir which is suspectful. AFAIK, calculating the index of pmd does not need a divisoin over four. Removing the division made lguest work fine again . Patch is at [2]. I am not sure why the division over four existed in the first place. It seems bogus, maybe the Xen patch just made the problem appear ? [2]: The patch: [PATCH] lguest: fix pgdir pmd index cacluation Remove an error in index calculation which leads to removing a not existing shadow page table (leading to a Null dereference).
