      [PATCH] uml: make execvp safe for our usage · 5d48545e
      Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso 提交于
      Reimplement execvp for our purposes - after we call fork() it is fundamentally
      unsafe to use the kernel allocator - current is not valid there.  So we simply
      pass to our modified execvp() a preallocated buffer.  This fixes a real bug
      and works very well in testing (I've seen indirectly warning messages from the
      forked thread - they went on the pipe connected to its stdout and where read
      as a number by UML, when calling read_output().  I verified the obtained
      number corresponded to "BUG:").
      
      The added use of __cant_sleep() is not a new bug since __cant_sleep() is
      already used in the same function - passing an atomicity parameter would be
      better but it would require huge change, stating that this function must not
      be called in atomic context and can sleep is a better idea (will make sure of
      this gradually).

      x86: be more careful when walking back the frame pointer chain · 808dbbb6
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      When showing the stack backtrace, make sure that we never accept not
      only an unchanging frame pointer, but also a frame pointer that moves
      back down the stack frame.  It must always grow up (toward older stack
      frames).
      
      I doubt this has triggered, but a subtly corrupt stack with extremely
      unlucky contents could cause us to loop forever on a bogus endless frame
      pointer chain.
      
      This review was triggered by much worse problems happening in some of
      the other stack unwinding code.

      [PATCH] i386/x86_64: ACPI cpu_idle_wait() fix · dc1829a4
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      The scheduler on Andreas Friedrich's hyperthreading system stopped
      working properly: the scheduler would never move tasks to another CPU!
      The lask known working kernel was 2.6.8.
      
      After a couple of attempts to corner the bug, the following smoking gun
      was found:
      
        BIOS reported wrong ACPI idfor the processor
        CPU#1: set_cpus_allowed(), swapper:1, 3 -> 2

         [<c0103a87>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10
      
      a quick look at cpu_idle_wait() shows how broken that code is
      on i386: it changes the init task's affinity map but never
      restores it ...
      
      and because all userspace tasks get forked by init, they all
      inherited that single-CPU affinity mask. x86_64 cloned this
      bug too.

      this crash happened because it did not sanitize the dwarf2 data it
      got, and got an unaligned stack pointer - which happily walked past
      the process stack (and eventually reached the end of kernel memory
      and pagefaulted there) due to this naive iteration condition:
      
              HANDLE_STACK (((long) stack & (THREAD_SIZE-1)) != 0);
      
      note that i386 is alot more conservative when it comes to trusting
      stack pointers:
      
        static inline int valid_stack_ptr(struct thread_info *tinfo, void *p)
        {
               return  p > (void *)tinfo &&
                       p < (void *)tinfo + THREAD_SIZE - 3;
        }
      
      but the x86_64 code did not take this bit of i386 code.
      
      The fix is to align the stack pointer.

      [IA64] bte_unaligned_copy() transfers one extra cache line. · cbf093e8
      Robin Holt 提交于
      When called to do a transfer that has a start offset within the cache
      line which is uneven between source and destination and a length which
      terminates the source of the copy exactly on a cache line, one extra
      line gets copied into a temporary buffer.  This is normally not an issue
      since the buffer is a kernel buffer and only the requested information
      gets copied into the user buffer.
      
      The problem arises when the source ends at the very last physical page
      of memory.  That last cache line does not exist and results in the SHUB
      chip raising an MCA.

      [PATCH] Use delayed disable mode of ioapic edge triggered interrupts · 45c99533
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      Komuro reports that ISA interrupts do not work after a disable_irq(),
      causing some PCMCIA drivers to not work, with messages like
      
      	eth0: Asix AX88190: io 0x300, irq 3, hw_addr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
      	eth0: found link beat
      	eth0: autonegotiation complete: 100baseT-FD selected
      	eth0: interrupt(s) dropped!
      	eth0: interrupt(s) dropped!
      	eth0: interrupt(s) dropped!
      	...
      
      Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> said:
      
        "Now, edge-triggered interrupts are a _lot_ harder to mask, because the
         Intel APIC is an unbelievable piece of sh*t, and has the edge-detect logic
         _before_ the mask logic, so if a edge happens _while_ the device is
         masked, you'll never ever see the edge ever again (unmasking will not
         cause a new edge, so you simply lost the interrupt).
      
         So when you "mask" an edge-triggered IRQ, you can't really mask it at all,
         because if you did that, you'd lose it forever if the IRQ comes in while
         you masked it. Instead, we're supposed to leave it active, and set a flag,
         and IF the IRQ comes in, we just remember it, and mask it at that point
         instead, and then on unmasking, we have to replay it by sending a
         self-IPI."

      [PATCH] hugetlb: prepare_hugepage_range check offset too · 68589bc3
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      (David:)
      
      If hugetlbfs_file_mmap() returns a failure to do_mmap_pgoff() - for example,
      because the given file offset is not hugepage aligned - then do_mmap_pgoff
      will go to the unmap_and_free_vma backout path.
      
      But at this stage the vma hasn't been marked as hugepage, and the backout path
      will call unmap_region() on it.  That will eventually call down to the
      non-hugepage version of unmap_page_range().  On ppc64, at least, that will
      cause serious problems if there are any existing hugepage pagetable entries in
      the vicinity - for example if there are any other hugepage mappings under the
      same PUD.  unmap_page_range() will trigger a bad_pud() on the hugepage pud
      entries.  I suspect this will also cause bad problems on ia64, though I don't
      have a machine to test it on.
      
      (Hugh:)
      
      prepare_hugepage_range() should check file offset alignment when it checks
      virtual address and length, to stop MAP_FIXED with a bad huge offset from
      unmapping before it fails further down.  PowerPC should apply the same
      prepare_hugepage_range alignment checks as ia64 and all the others do.
      
      Then none of the alignment checks in hugetlbfs_file_mmap are required (nor
      is the check for too small a mapping); but even so, move up setting of
      VM_HUGETLB and add a comment to warn of what David Gibson discovered - if
      hugetlbfs_file_mmap fails before setting it, do_mmap_pgoff's unmap_region
      when unwinding from error will go the non-huge way, which may cause bad
      behaviour on architectures (powerpc and ia64) which segregate their huge
      mappings into a separate region of the address space.

      The vgetcpu per CPU initialization previously relied on CPU hotplug

      Change the initialization sequence to instead run in a normal
      initcall (which runs after the normal CPU bootup) and initialize
      all running CPUs there. Later hotplug CPUs are still handled
      with an hotplug notifier.

      x86_64: setup saved_max_pfn correctly
      
      2.6.19-rc4 has broken CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP support on x86_64. It is impossible
      to read out the kernel contents from /proc/vmcore because saved_max_pfn is set
      to zero instead of the max_pfn value before the user map is setup.
      
      This happens because saved_max_pfn is initialized at parse_early_param() time,
      and at this time no active regions have been registered. save_max_pfn is setup
      from e820_end_of_ram(), more exact find_max_pfn_with_active_regions() which
      returns 0 because no regions exist.
      
      This patch fixes this by registering before and removing after the call
      to e820_end_of_ram().

      [PATCH] x86-64: shorten the x86_64 boot setup GDT to what the comment says · 51d67a48
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Stephen Tweedie, Herbert Xu, and myself have been struggling with a very
      nasty bug in Xen.  But it also pointed out a small bug in the x86_64
      kernel boot setup.
      
      The GDT limit being setup by the initial bzImage code when entering into
      protected mode is way too big.  The comment by the code states that the
      size of the GDT is 2048, but the actual size being set up is much bigger
      (32768). This happens simply because of one extra '0'.
      
      Instead of setting up a 0x800 size, 0x8000 is set up.  On bare metal this
      is fine because the CPU wont load any segments unless  they are
      explicitly used.  But unfortunately, this breaks Xen on vmx FV, since it
      (for now) blindly loads all the segments into the VMCS if they are less
      than the gdt limit. Since the real mode segments are around 0x3000, we are
      getting junk into the VMCS and that later causes an exception.
      
      Stephen Tweedie has written up a patch to fix the Xen side and will be
      submitting that to those folks. But that doesn't excuse the GDT limit
      being a magnitude too big.

      [PATCH] mspec driver build fix · 1a4b0fc5
      Jes Sorensen 提交于
      Fix MSPEC driver to build for non SN2 enabled configs as the driver should
      work in cached and uncached modes (no fetchop) on these systems.  In
      addition make MSPEC select IA64_UNCACHED_ALLOCATOR, which is required for
      it and move it to arch/ia64/Kconfig to avoid warnings on non ia64
      architectures running allmodconfig.  Once the Kconfig code is fixed, we can
      move it back.
