      [PATCH] Update my CREDITS entry · ba9b1cd7

      I moved from Sweden to Finland 2.5 years ago, thought it might be time
      to update my CREDITS entry (simply removing the address completely
      seemed the sanest option).

      Revert "ACPI: created a dedicated workqueue for notify() execution" · b976fe19
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This reverts commit 37605a69.
      
      Again.
      
      This same bug has now been introduced twice: it was done earlier by
      commit b8d35192, only to be reverted
      last time in commit 72945b2b.
      
      We must NOT try to queue up notify handlers to another thread than the
      normal ACPI execution thread, because the notifications on some systems
      seem to just keep on accumulating until we run out of memory and/or
      threads.
      
      Keeping events within the one deferred execution thread automatically
      throttles the events properly.
      
      At least the Compaq N620c will lock up completely on the first thermal
      event without this patch reverted.

      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
         [<c0103bbe>] show_trace_log_lvl+0x34/0x4a

         [<c0116a77>] set_cpus_allowed+0x52/0xec
         [<c0101d86>] cpu_idle_wait+0x2e/0x100
         [<c0259c57>] acpi_processor_power_exit+0x45/0x58

         [<c025c6fb>] acpi_start_single_object+0x47/0x54

         [<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.

      Fix generic fb_ddc i2c edid probe msg · 4be70390
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Benh points out that the msgs[0].flags entry never got initialized, and
      since it's an automatic stack allocation, it could have any random
      value, which is bad.
      
      Rewrite the initializer to explicitly initialize all fields of the small
      i2c_msg structure array we generate.  Just to keep it all obvious, let's
      handle msgs[1].buf in the same initializer while we're at it, instead of
      initializing that one separately later.
