      m68k/sun3: Kill pte_unmap() warnings · 0eefed84
      Geert Uytterhoeven 提交于
      Since commit 31c91132 ("mm: check the argument
      of kunmap on architectures without highmem"), we get lots of warnings like
      
      arch/m68k/kernel/sys_m68k.c:508: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘kunmap’ from incompatible pointer type
      
      As m68k doesn't support highmem anyway, open code the calls to kmap() and
      kunmap() (the latter is a no-op) to kill the warnings, like is done on most
      other architectures without CONFIG_HIGHPTE.

      ARM: pxa: fix page table corruption on resume · 24c78557
      Aric D. Blumer 提交于
      Before this patch, the following error would sometimes occur after a
      resume on pxa3xx:
      
          /path/to/mm/memory.c:144: bad pmd 8040542e.
      
      The problem was that a temporary page table mapping was being improperly
      restored.
      
      The PXA3xx resume code creates a temporary mapping of resume_turn_on_mmu
      to avoid a prefetch abort.  The pxa3xx_resume_after_mmu code requires
      that the r1 register holding the address of this mapping not be
      modified, however, resume_turn_on_mmu does modify it. It is mostly
      correct in that r1 receives the base table address, but it may also
      get other bits in 13:0.  This results in pxa3xx_resume_after_mmu
      restoring the original mapping to the wrong place, corrupting memory
      and leaving the temporary mapping in place.

      x86/microcode: Fix double vfree() and remove redundant pointer checks before vfree() · 5cdd2de0
      Jesper Juhl 提交于
      In arch/x86/kernel/microcode_intel.c::generic_load_microcode()
      we have  this:
      
      	while (leftover) {
      		...
      		if (get_ucode_data(mc, ucode_ptr, mc_size) ||
      		    microcode_sanity_check(mc) < 0) {
      			vfree(mc);
      			break;
      		}
      		...
      	}
      
      	if (mc)
      		vfree(mc);
      
      This will cause a double free of 'mc'. This patch fixes that by
      just  removing the vfree() call in the loop since 'mc' will be
      freed nicely just  after we break out of the loop.
      
      There's also a second change in the patch. I noticed a lot of
      checks for  pointers being NULL before passing them to vfree().
      That's completely  redundant since vfree() deals gracefully with
      being passed a NULL pointer.  Removing the redundant checks
      yields a nice size decrease for the object  file.

      arch/tile: handle rt_sigreturn() more cleanly · 81711cee
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      The current tile rt_sigreturn() syscall pattern uses the common idiom
      of loading up pt_regs with all the saved registers from the time of
      the signal, then anticipating the fact that we will clobber the ABI
      "return value" register (r0) as we return from the syscall by setting
      the rt_sigreturn return value to whatever random value was in the pt_regs
      for r0.
      
      However, this breaks in our 64-bit kernel when running "compat" tasks,
      since we always sign-extend the "return value" register to properly
      handle returned pointers that are in the upper 2GB of the 32-bit compat
      address space.  Doing this to the sigreturn path then causes occasional
      random corruption of the 64-bit r0 register.
      
      Instead, we stop doing the crazy "load the return-value register"
      hack in sigreturn.  We already have some sigreturn-specific assembly
      code that we use to pass the pt_regs pointer to C code.  We extend that
      code to also set the link register to point to a spot a few instructions
      after the usual syscall return address so we don't clobber the saved r0.
      Now it no longer matters what the rt_sigreturn syscall returns, and the
      pt_regs structure can be cleanly and completely reloaded.

      arch/tile: handle CLONE_SETTLS in copy_thread(), not user space · bc4cf2bb
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      Previously we were just setting up the "tp" register in the
      new task as started by clone() in libc.  However, this is not
      quite right, since in principle a signal might be delivered to
      the new task before it had its TLS set up.  (Of course, this race
      window still exists for resetting the libc getpid() cached value
      in the new task, in principle.  But in any case, we are now doing
      this exactly the way all other architectures do it.)
      
      This change is important for 2.6.37 since the tile glibc we will
      be submitting upstream will not set TLS in user space any more,
      so it will only work on a kernel that has this fix.  It should
      also be taken for 2.6.36.x in the stable tree if possible.

      x86: avoid E820 regions when allocating address space · 4dc2287c
      Bjorn Helgaas 提交于
      When we allocate address space, e.g., to assign it to a PCI device, don't
      allocate anything mentioned in the BIOS E820 memory map.
      
      On recent machines (2008 and newer), we assign PCI resources from the
      windows described by the ACPI PCI host bridge _CRS.  On many Dell
      machines, these windows overlap some E820 reserved areas, e.g.,
      
          BIOS-e820: 00000000bfe4dc00 - 00000000c0000000 (reserved)
          pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0xbff00000-0xdfffffff]
      
      If we put devices at 0xbff00000, they don't work, probably because
      that's really RAM, not I/O memory.  This patch prevents that by removing
      the 0xbfe4dc00-0xbfffffff area from the "available" resource.
      
      I'm not very happy with this solution because Windows solves the problem
      differently (it seems to ignore E820 reserved areas and it allocates
      top-down instead of bottom-up; details at comment 45 of the bugzilla
      below).  That means we're vulnerable to BIOS defects that Windows would not
      trip over.  For example, if BIOS described a device in ACPI but didn't
      mention it in E820, Windows would work fine but Linux would fail.
