[PATCH] Fix block device inode list corruptions
I've been chasing a weird SELinux bug which shows up mostly when doing
installs of a dev-* rpm (ie. creating and overwriting lots of block
device inodes), but which I've also seen when doing mkinitrd.
It turned out not to be an SELinux problem at all, but a core VFS
S_ISBLK bug. It seems that SELinux simply widens the race window.
The code at fault is fs/fs-writeback.c:__mark_inode_dirty():
/*
* Only add valid (hashed) inodes to the superblock's
* dirty list. Add blockdev inodes as well.
*/
if (!S_ISBLK(inode->i_mode)) {
if (hlist_unhashed(&inode->i_hash))
goto out;
if (inode->i_state & (I_FREEING|I_CLEAR))
goto out;
}
The "I_FREEING|I_CLEAR" condition was added after the ISBLK/unhashed
tests were already in the source, but I can't see any reason why we'd
want the I_FREEING test not to apply to block devices. And indeed, this
results in all sorts of inode list corruptions. Simply moving the
I_FREEING|I_CLEAR test out of the protection of the S_ISBLK() condition
fixes things entirely.
The existing 2.6 kernel will reliably fail on me in about 2 seconds once
"rpm -Uvh --force dev*.rpm" starts its actual installation of the new
inodes. With the patch below I can't reproduce it at all.

[PATCH] Fix ptrace in the vsyscall dso area
From: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com>
The #include is the part of this patch that matters, so the #ifdef below
works.
The rest of the patch removes gratuitous duplication due to some strange
aversion to concision in the presence of #ifdef, the kind that is all too
common, utterly pointless, and error prone.

From: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2.6 imposes a 64 frame limit where 2.4 does not (just relies on kmalloc()

With MSF adressing, it's much simpler to be able to ask for a full second
at the time, so I think we should just allow that. So bump the limit from
64 to CD_FRAMES (which is 75).

[PATCH] PCI Scan all functions
From: Jake Moilanen <moilanen@austin.ibm.com>
On a ppc64 logically partitioned system, there can be a setup where function
0 of a PCI-PCI bridge is assigned to one partition and (for example) function
2 is assigned to a second partition. On the second partition, it would
appear that function 0 does not exist, but function 2 does. If all the
functions are not scanned, everything under function 2 would not be detected.
This patch allows devices that don't respond to function 0, but do respond to
other functions to be marked with a quirk and have all of their functions
scanned.

From: Jack Steiner <steiner@sgi.com>
The cpu_vm_mask use to be close to the mmu_context_t field in the mm

Here is a patch that puts the fields close together. This makes it likely
that both fields are in the same cache line. Since both fields are likely
to be updated at the same time, this may improve performance.

[PATCH] shrink_list(): check PageSwapCache() after add_to_swap()
From: Nikita Danilov <Nikita@Namesys.COM>
shrink_list() checks PageSwapCache() before calling add_to_swap(), this
means that anonymous page that is going to be added to the swap right
now these checks return false and:
(*) it will be unaccounted for in nr_mapped, and
(*) it won't be written to the swap if gfp_flags include __GFP_IO but
not __GFP_FS.
(Both will happen only on the next round of scanning.)
Patch below just moves may_enter_fs initialization down. I am not sure
about (*nr_mapped) increase though.

[PATCH] Use address hint in mmap for search
From: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
When the user gave an address hint in mmap use it as starting point for the
search for !MAP_FIXED.
Currently it is only checked directly and when already used the free area
cache is used as starting point. With this change you can use mmap(4096,
....) to e.g. get the lowest free address in your address space, which is
sometimes useful. For example on x86-64 glibc wants to preferably allocate
thread local data in the first 4GB but use higher addresses when this is
not possible.
This can be a bit more costly in CPU time because it may have to skip over
more VMAs, but gives better semantics for most cases. Most programs pass
NULL as hint anyways so it won't make any difference for them.
I did it for the generic mmap and for x86-64 for now. Also minor white
space fixes for x86-64.

[PATCH] proc_check_root() locking fix
From: Maneesh Soni <maneesh@in.ibm.com>
The patch fixes locking in proc_check_root(). It brings is_subdir() call
under vfsmount_lock. Holding vfsmount_lock will ensure mnt_mountpoint
dentry is intact and the dentry does not go away while it is being checked
in is_subdir().

[PATCH] is_subdir locking fix
From: Maneesh Soni <maneesh@in.ibm.com>
o The following patch fixes is_subdir() races with d_move. Due to concurrent
d_move, in is_subdir() we can end up accessing freed d_parent pointer in
case of pre-emptible kernel. To avoid this we can use rcu_read_lock() and
rcu_read_unlock().
o This also fixes the seqlock uses in is_subdir() as we need to restart the
the inner loop with the origianl new_dentry passed to the routine in case
of any rename occured while we are traversing d_parent links.

[PATCH] u_int32_t causes cross-compile problems
From: Pratik Solanki <pratik.solanki@timesys.com>
I came across this C standards issue while cross-compiling the Linux kernel
with gcc on Solaris. The file gen_crc32table.c uses the non-standard type
u_int32_t. It's possible that the host machine's sys/types.h does not
define u_int32_t. The attached patch replaces u_int32_t with the POSIX
standard uint32_t and includes POSIX inttypes.h instead of sys/types.h.

From: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com>
Anders Gustafsson <andersg@0x63.nu>
Roman Zippel <zippel@linux-m68k.org>
This patch fixes menuconfig so it can display help text for individual
choice group config entries.
Previously it would only display the help text attached to the "choice"
item. There was no way to display the help attached to individual config
entries inside the choice group. Typically, the "choice" item has no help
text, and all the useful help is attached to the individual entries, so
this was a bit of a problem.

[PATCH] Fine tune the time conversion to eliminate conversion errors.
From: George Anzinger <george@mvista.com>
The time conversion code is erroring on the side of a bit too small. The
attached patch forces any error to be on the high side. The current code will
convert 1 nanosecond to zero jiffies (standard says that should be 1). It also
is around 1 nanosecond late on each roll to the next jiffie.
I have done some error checks with this patch applied and get the following
errors in PPB ( Parts Per Billion):
HZ nano sec conversion microsecond conversion
1000 315 45
1024 227 40
100 28 317
In all cases the error is on the high side, which means that the final shift
will, most likely, eliminate the error bits.

[PATCH] Fix deep stack usage in ncpfs
From: Petr Vandrovec <vandrove@vc.cvut.cz>
Arjan van de Ven pointed out to me there are no checks on name component
lengths in ncpfs, so potentially 4KB regions could be allocated on stack,
leading to the user controlled stack overflow.
It was using variable-sized arrays, so this snuck past the static
stack-usage checking tools.
As NCP is limited to 255 bytes on components, we can simple limit these
local variables to 256 bytes, and after this stack usage looks more
acceptable. Length checking occurs inside ncp_vol2io, during
iocharset->codepage conversion.
As a side effect support for multibyte codepages now works as it should,
instead of returning -EINVAL whenever filename in 'codepage' encoding was
longer than in 'iocharset'.
Other part fixes typo where atime change updated ctime and not atime field.

[PATCH] initialise cpu_vm_mask in init_mm

Some architectures use cpu_vm_mask to optimise TLB flushes. On ppc64 we

kernelspace (vmalloc) pages. In order to avoid triggering this
optimisation we need to mark the init mm as having scheduled on all cpus.
Things currently work by luck (we check for the cpu only having run on the
local cpu, and the field is initialised to 0), but it would be safer to
initialise it CPU_MASK_ALL.

[PATCH] fix blockdev --getro for sr, sd, ide-floppy
From: John McKell <mckellj@iomega.com>
This 2.6.1 patch works by setting gendisk->policy to the correct value
during initialization as the various drivers decide whether or not the disk
is writeable. This patch persuades "blockdev --getro ..." to correctly
report the read-only state of a newly inserted disk. This patch applies to
sr.c, sd.c and ide-floppy.c. ide-cd.c already has this functionality built
into it.
Using an Iomega Zip drive as the test case...
Without the patch, I always see:
$ sudo blockdev --getro /dev/sda
0
$
That's only correct for writeable disks though. Only when the patch
is applied do I see a write-protected disk described correctly:
$ sudo blockdev --getro /dev/sda
1

[PATCH] Make naming of parititions in sysfs match /proc/partitions.
From: Neil Brown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
In fs/partitions/check.c there are two pieces of code that add a
partition number to a block-device name:
- the 'disk_name' function
- a snprintf in add_partitions.
'disk_name' inserts a 'p' before the partition number if the device
name ends with a digit. The snprintf in add_partitions doesn't.
This patch rectifies this anomoly so that names in sysfs can be
parsed more reliably.
This has been extensively discussed. It will probably break the external
`iostat' tool. But only for disks whose name ends in a digit, which appears
to be only DAC960.

[PATCH] vmalloc address offset fix
From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>
Paul wrote a patch to use some of the rmap infrastructure to flush TLB
entries on ppc64. When testing it we found a problem in vmalloc where it
sets up the pte -> address mapping incorrectly. We clear the top bits of
the address but then forget to pass in the full address to
pte_alloc_kernel. The end result is the address in page->index is
truncated.
I fixed it in a similar way to how zeromap_pmd_range etc does it. I'm
guessing no one uses the rmap hooks on vmalloc pages yet, so havent seen
this problem.

[PATCH] EDD: read disk80 MBR signature, export through edd module
From: Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
There are 4 bytes in the MSDOS master boot record, at offset 0x1b8,
which may contain a per-system-unique signature. By first writing a unique
signature to each disk in the system, then rebooting, and then reading the
MBR to get the signature for the boot disk (int13 dev 80h), userspace may
use it to compare against disks it knows as named /dev/[hs]d[a-z], and thus
determine which disk is the BIOS boot disk, thus where the /boot, / and
boot loaders should be placed.
This is useful in the case where the BIOS is not EDD3.0 compliant, thus
doesn't provide the PCI bus/dev/fn and IDE/SCSI location of the boot disk,
yet you need to know which disk is the boot disk. It's most useful in OS
installers.
This patch retrieves the signature from the disk in setup.S, stores it in a
space reserved in the empty_zero_page, copies it somewhere safe in setup.c,
and exports it via /sys/firmware/edd/int13_disk80/mbr_signature in edd.c.
Code is covered under CONFIG_EDD=[ym].

[PATCH] add readX_relaxed() interface
From: jbarnes@sgi.com (Jesse Barnes)
Here's the patch to add the new _relaxed variants for PIO read accesses.
It's been ack'd by gregkh and Grant Grundler, and I think it's ready to
go.
PCI ordering rules also guarantee that PIO read responses arrive after any
outstanding DMA writes on that bus, since for some devices the result of a
readb() call may signal to the driver that a DMA transaction is complete. In
many cases, however, the driver may want to indicate that the next readb()
call has no relation to any previous DMA writes performed by the device. The
driver can use the readb_relaxed() for these cases, although only some
platforms will honor the relaxed semantics.

[PATCH] printk_ratelimit() tweaks
From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>
I made a few changes, basically the burst parameter is now in units of
messages, makes much more sense than the old net ratelimit one.
I also screwed up adding a sysctl_jiffies strategy for the burst parameter.

[PATCH] bitmap parsing/printing routines, version 4
From: Joe Korty <joe.korty@ccur.com>
1) the version in 2.6.1 is broken, doesn't work on 64bit big endian
machines at all. This needed fixing. I thought it best to fix by
rewriting the printer/parser with an algorithm that is naturally endian &
sizeof(long) resistant.
2) I wanted all digits to print, eg, 0000ffff,00000004 not ffff,4.
3) I wanted exactly NR_CPUS bits to print (or whatever the bitmap size is
in bits, and not have what is displayed rounded up to the nearest full
byte, as the current version did.
4) The bitmap printer and parser should be part of bitmap.[ch] with syntax
and semantics to match. The original lib/mask.c versions did not
recognize this commonality.

[PATCH] More 3.4 compilation fixes
From: Jan Hubicka <jh@suse.cz>
GCC now converts sprintf (a,"%s",b) to strcpy. This lose on kernel as
strcpy is not inlined and not present in library, so one gets linker
failure. It seems to make sense to apply this optimization by hand.

From: Jan Hubicka <jh@suse.cz>
GCC never inline extern inline function redefined by new body (because it is

parport contains such duplicated functions for apparently no good reasons.
Both copies differ slightly, not sure whether it is intentional or just
garbage.

Just remove the dang thing - nobody uses _exit().
Except for the vmware stub, which breaks. So I kindly exported do_exit() to
kernel modules, just for vmware...

[PATCH] string fixes for gcc 3.4
From: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>
gcc 3.4 optimizes sprintf(foo,"%s",string) into strcpy. Unfortunately that
isn't seen by the inliner and linux/i386 has no out-of-line strcpy so you
end up with a linker error.
This patch adds out of line copies for most string functions to avoid this.
Actually it doesn't export them to modules yet, that would be the next
step.
BTW In my opinion we shouldn't use inline string functions at all. The
__builtin_str* in modern gcc are better (I used them very successfully on
x86-64) and for the bigger functions like strrchr,strtok et.al. it just
doesn't make any sense to inline them or even code them in assembler.
Also fix the bcopy prototype gcc was complaining about.

[PATCH] Fix more gcc 3.4 warnings
From: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>
Just many more warning fixes for a gcc 3.4 snapshot.
It warns for a lot of things now, e.g. for ?: and ({ ... }) and casts as
lvalues. And for functions marked inline in headers, but no body.
Actually there are more warnings, i stopped fixing at some point. Some of
the warnings seem to be dubious (e.g. the binfmt_elf.c one, which looks
more like a compiler bug to me)
I also fixed the _exit() prototype to be void because gcc was complaining
about this.

[PATCH] sisfb update
From: Thomas Winischhofer <thomas@winischhofer.net>
sisfb is simply broken in current 2.6.x. This patch updates sisfb to the
current development version which no less than 11 months ahead of the version
in the kernel.
Updated includes
- many fixes (duh)
- support for new chipsets (661, 741, 760)
- support for new video bridges (301C, 302ELV)
- removal of all offending fp code (as discussed earlier this month)
- a lot of code clean-up (which is the main reason for its size)

[PATCH] kbuild: Unmangle include options for gcc
From: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
When utilising the make O=... option the include options for gcc were
mangled even when absolute paths was used. Also remove duplication of
CPPFLAGS. They were assigned twice. [It is still possible for
architectures to modify CPPFLAGS].
This patch allows xconfig to be build with make O=... xconfig.It will also
help development of external modules with absolute paths for their -I
options.
Note: As a side effect a full recompile of the kernel takes place due to
changes in number of gcc options.

[PATCH] ia32 MSI vector handling fix
From: "Nakajima, Jun" <jun.nakajima@intel.com>
To get the vector-based interrupt handling work, we need to give the vector
number to device drivers instead of the IRQ if IRQ < 16. It was not
happening for SCI, and the patch fixes it. In many cases, the IRQ for SCI is
9, and the problem was not detected, but one particular machine exposed the
bug.

[PATCH] lock_cpu_hotplug only if CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG
From: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
The cpucontrol mutex is not required when no cpus can go up and down.
Andrew wrote a wrapper for it to avoid #ifdefs, this expands that to only
be defined for CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, and uses it everywhere.
The only downside is that the cpucontrol lock was overloaded by my recent
patch to net/core/flow.c to protect it from reentrance, so this
reintroduces the local flow_flush_sem. This code isn't speed critical, so
taking two locks when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y is not really an issue.

[PATCH] quiet down SMP boot messages
From: Jes Sorensen <jes@trained-monkey.org>
I'd like to propose the following for 2.6.1-mm/2.6.2. On systems with a
large number of CPUs the number of printk's flowing by for each CPU
booting starts becoming a real console hog.
The following patch eliminates a couple of them (already sent a patch to
David for the ia64 specific ones) as well as changes the
"Building zonelist : X" in "Built Y zonelists". IMHO it doesn't make any
sense to print for each zonelist since it's run in a for loop running
from 0 to Y-1 anyway.
The patch nukes a few new printk's that were introduced with the
scheduler changes to the NUMA code in -mm3, if these are still needed
then I won't fight for that part of the patch.

[PATCH] Make PPC601_SYNC_FIX depend on pmac||prep
From: Tom Rini <trini@kernel.crashing.org>
The following has been approved by Paul, FWIW.
The following patch makes PPC601_SYNC_FIX depend on PPC_PMAC || PPC_PREP.
It used to depend on ALL_PPC I believe, but this was (at least
semi-intentionally I gather) backed out. The last time this was discussed,
the only platforms old enough to have a 601 to support were pmacs and
preps, so it makes some sense to only ask for these machines.

[PATCH] Fix race in sched_exit()
From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
Fix a race on sleep_avg in sched_exit().
The symptom I saw on 64-bit s390 has been a fixpoint divide exception
because sleep_avg had a value > NS_MAX_SLEEP_AVG. I tracked it down and
the problem is sched_exit which recalculates the parents sleep average
without taking the runqueue lock. schedule() subtracts run_time from
sleep_avg of the previous process. This can turn out negative and is
corrected shortly after the subtraction but that is already too late.
sched_exit() already read the negative value an miscalculated the parents
sleep_avg -> bang.
I fixed this by adding task_rq_lock/task_rq_unlock to sched_exit().

[netdrvr e1000] 82547 interrupt assert/de-assert re-ordering
* 82547 needs interrupt disable/enable to keep interrupt assertion
state synced between 82547 and APIC. 82547 will re-order
assert and de-assert messages if hub link bus is busy (heavy
traffic). Disabling interrupt on device works around re-
order issue. Note: this is a re-patch. We backed out the
patch because of a report on a system with a 8086:1019 device
would lock up with this patch. Turns out that system was a
pre-production sample.

* Fix race in Tx performance path with tx_lock. Between checking
if we're out of resources and stopping the queue, we can get
a hard interrupt which will clean up all Tx work, and wake
the queue. Coming out of hard interrupt context, we stop the
queue even though no work was queued, and all work completed
has been cleaned up. Scenario requires ring to be completely
filled, which is more likely to happen with TSO, since each
TSO send consumes multiple ring entries.
