Fix a bug in kprobes that can cause an Oops or even a crash when a return
probe is installed on one of the following functions: sys_execve,
do_execve, load_*_binary, flush_old_exec, or flush_thread.  The fix is to
remove the call to kprobe_flush_task() in flush_thread().  This fix has
been tested on all architectures for which the return-probes feature has
been implemented (i386, x86_64, ppc64, ia64).  Please apply.

BACKGROUND

Up to now, we have called kprobe_flush_task() under two situations: when a
task exits, and when it execs.  Flushing kretprobe_instances on exit is
correct because (a) do_exit() doesn't return, and (b) one or more
return-probed functions may be active when a task calls do_exit().  Neither
is the case for sys_execve() and its callees.

Initially, the mistaken call to kprobe_flush_task() on exec was harmless
because we put the "real" return address of each active probed function
back in the stack, just to be safe, when we recycled its
kretprobe_instance.  When support for ppc64 and ia64 was added, this safety
measure couldn't be employed, and was eventually dropped even for i386 and
x86_64.  sys_execve() and its callees were informally blacklisted for
return probes until this fix was developed.

The follow_page changes in get_futex_key have left it with two almost
identical blocks, when handling the rare case of a futex in a nonlinear vma.
get_user_pages will itself do that follow_page, and its additional

Closer attention to the arithmetic shows that neither ppc64 nor sparc really
uses one page for multiple page tables: how on earth could they, while
pte_alloc_one returns just a struct page pointer, with no offset?

Well, arm26 manages it by returning a pte_t pointer cast to a struct page
pointer, harumph, then compensating in its pmd_populate.  But arm26 is never
SMP, so it's not a problem for split ptlock either.

And the PA-RISC situation has been recently improved: CONFIG_PA20 works
without the 16-byte alignment which inflated its spinlock_t.  But the current
union of spinlock_t with private does make the 7xxx struct page significantly
larger, even without debug, so disable its split ptlock.

The linux bitset operators (test_bit, set_bit etc) work on arrays of "unsigned
long".  dm-log uses such bitsets but treats them as arrays of uint32_t, only
allocating and zeroing a multiple of 4 bytes (as 'clean_bits' is a uint32_t).

The patch below fixes this problem.

The problem is specific to 64-bit big endian machines such as s390x or ppc-64
and can prevent pvmove terminating.

In the simplest case, if "region_count" were (say) 30, then
bitset_size (below) would be 4 and bitset_uint32_count would be 1.
Thus the memory for this butset, after allocation and zeroing would
be
   0 0 0 0 X X X X
On a bigendian 64bit machine, bit 0 for this bitset is in the 8th
byte! (and every bit that dm-log would use would be in the X area).

   0 0 0 0 X X X X
                 ^
                 here

which hasn't been cleared properly.

As the dm-raid1 code only syncs and counts regions which have a 0 in the
'sync_bits' bitset, and only finishes when it has counted high enough, a large
number of 1's among those 'X's will cause the sync to not complete.

It is worth noting that the code uses the same bitsets for in-memory and
on-disk logs.  As these bitsets are host-endian and host-sized, this means
that they cannot safely be moved between computers with

In some circumstances the LIST_VERSIONS output is truncated because the size
calculation forgets about a 'uint32_t' in each structure - but the inclusion
of the whole of ALIGN_MASK frequently compensates for the omission.

This is a quick workaround to use an upper bound.  (The code ought to be fixed
to supply the actual size.)

Running 'dmsetup targets' may demonstrate the problem: when I run it, the last
line comes out as 'erro' instead of 'error'.  Consequently, 'lvcreate --type

If there are multiple updaters to /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages simultaneously
it is possible for the nr_huge_pages variable to become incorrect.  There
is no locking in the set_max_huge_pages function around
alloc_fresh_huge_page which is able to update nr_huge_pages.  Two callers
to alloc_fresh_huge_page could race against each other as could a call to
alloc_fresh_huge_page and a call to update_and_free_page.  This patch just
expands the area covered by the hugetlb_lock to cover the call into
alloc_fresh_huge_page.  I'm not sure how we could say that a sysctl section
is performance critical where more specific locking would be needed.

My reproducer was to run a couple copies of the following script
simultaneously

while [ true ]; do
	echo 1000 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
	echo 500 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
	echo 750 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
	echo 100 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
	echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
done

and then watch /proc/meminfo and eventually you will see things like

HugePages_Total:     100
HugePages_Free:      109

Reported by: Wayne E. Harlan

"[1.] One line summary of the problem:
When the kernel option "vga=1" is used, additional tty's (alt+control+Fx
with x=2,3,4,5, etc) do not provide the full 50 lines of output.  The first
one does have 50 lines, however.

[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
These addtitional tty's show only 39 lines plus the top pixel of the 40-th
line.  The remaining lines are black and not shown.  Kernel version
2.6.13.4 does not show this problem."

This bug is caused by using a stale font height value on vgacon_init.

Booting with vga=1 gives an 80x50 screen with an 8x8 font.  Somewhere
during the initialization, the font was changed to 8x9 and the first
vc was correctly resized to 80x44.  However, the rest of the vc's were
not allocated yet, and when they were subsequently initialized, they
still used a font height of 8 (instead of 9) causing the mentioned bug.

Fix by saving the new font height to vga_video_font_height.

Earlier I unifdefed PageCompound, so that snd_pcm_mmap_control_nopage and
others can give out a 0-order component of a higher-order page, which won't
be mistakenly freed when zap_pte_range unmaps it.  But many Bad page states
reported a PG_reserved was freed after all: I had missed that we need to
say __GFP_COMP to get compound page behaviour.

Some of these higher-order pages are allocated by snd_malloc_pages, some by
snd_malloc_dev_pages; or if SBUS, by sbus_alloc_consistent - but that has
no gfp arg, so add __GFP_COMP into its sparc32/64 implementations.

copy_one_pte needs to copy the anonymous COWed pages in a VM_UNPAGED area,
zap_pte_range needs to free them, do_wp_page needs to COW them: just like
ordinary pages, not like the unpaged.

But recognizing them is a little subtle: because PageReserved is no longer a
condition for remap_pfn_range, we can now mmap all of /dev/mem (whether the
distro permits, and whether it's advisable on this or that architecture, is
another matter).  So if we can see a PageAnon, it may not be ours to mess with
(or may be ours from elsewhere in the address space).  I suspect there's an
entertaining insoluble self-referential problem here, but the page_is_anon
