On the Core2 cpus, the rdtsc instruction is not serializing (as defined in the architecture reference since rdtsc exists) and due to the deep speculation of these cores, it's possible that you can observe time go backwards between cores due to this speculation. Since the kernel already deals with this with the SYNC_RDTSC flag, the solution is simple, only assume that the instruction is serializing on family 15... The price one pays for this is a slightly slower gettimeofday (by a dozen or two cycles), but that increase is quite small to pay for a really-going-forward tsc counter. Signed-off-by:

Ramiro Voicu hits the BUG_ON(!pte_none(*pte)) in zeromap_pte_range: kernel bugzilla 7645. Right: read_zero_pagealigned uses down_read of mmap_sem, but another thread's racing read of /dev/zero, or a normal fault, can easily set that pte again, in between zap_page_range and zeromap_page_range getting there. It's been wrong ever since 2.4.3. The simple fix is to use down_write instead, but that would serialize reads of /dev/zero more than at present: perhaps some app would be badly affected. So instead let zeromap_page_range return the error instead of BUG_ON, and read_zero_pagealigned break to the slower clear_user loop in that case - there's no need to optimize for it. Use -EEXIST for when a pte is found: BUG_ON in mmap_zero (the other user of zeromap_page_range), though it really isn't interesting there. And since mmap_zero wants -EAGAIN for out-of-memory, the zeromaps better return that than -ENOMEM. Signed-off-by:

At least some nforce cards continue to send legacy interrupts when MSI is enabled, and these interrupts are treated as unhandled by the kernel. This patch disables legacy interrupts explicitly when enabling MSI mode. The correct fix is to change the MSI infrastructure to disable legacy interrupts when enabling MSI, but this is potentially risky if the device isn't PCI-2.3 or is quirky, so the correct fix is going into mainline, while patches like this one go into -stable. Legend has it that it is most correct to disable legacy interrupts before enabling MSI, but the mainline patch does it in the other order, and this patch is "obviously" the same as mainline.

2.6.19 stopped booting (or booted based on build/config) on our x86_64 systems due to a bug introduced in 2.6.19. check_nmi_watchdog schedules an IPI on all cpus to busy wait on a flag, but fails to set the busywait flag if NMI functionality is disabled. This causes the secondary cpus to spin in an endless loop, causing the kernel bootup to hang. Depending upon the build, the busywait flag got overwritten (stack variable) and caused the kernel to bootup on certain builds. Following patch fixes the bug by setting the busywait flag before returning from check_nmi_watchdog. I guess using a stack variable is not good here as the calling function could potentially return while the busy wait loop is still spinning on the flag. AK: I redid the patch significantly to be cleaner Signed-off-by:

The m32r kernel 2.6.18-rc1 or after cause build errors of "unknown isa configuration" for userspace application programs, such as glibc, gdb, etc. This is because the recent kernel do not include linux/config.h not to expose kernel headers for userspace. To fix the above compile errors, this patch fixes two headers ptrace.h and sigcontext.h for m32r and makes them platform-independent. Signed-off-by:

It is possible to have tasklets get scheduled before softirqd has had a chance to spawn on all CPUs. This is totally harmless; after success during action CPU_UP_PREPARE, action CPU_ONLINE will be called, which immediately wakes softirqd on the appropriate CPU to process the already pending tasklets. So there is no danger of having a missed wakeup for any tasklets that were already pending. In particular, i386 is affected by this during startup, and is visible when using a very large initrd; during the time it takes for the initrd to be decompressed, a timer IRQ can come in and schedule RCU callbacks. It is also possible that resending of a hardware IRQ via a softirq triggers the same bug. Because of different timing conditions, this shows up in all emulators and virtual machines tested, including Xen, VMware, Virtual PC, and Qemu. It is also possible to trigger on native hardware with a large enough initrd, although I don't have a reliable case demonstrating that. Signed-off-by:

The problem: autofs_fill_super() returns EINVAL to get_sb_nodev(), but before that, it calls kill_anon_super() to destroy the superblock which won't be needed. This is however way too soon to call kill_anon_super(), because get_sb_nodev() has to perform its own cleanup of the superblock first (deactivate_super(), etc.). The correct time to call kill_anon_super() is in the autofs_kill_sb() callback, which is called by deactivate_super() at proper time, when the superblock is ready to be killed. I can see the same faulty codepath also in autofs4. This patch solves issues in both filesystems in a same way - it postpones the kill_anon_super() until the proper time is signalized by deactivate_super() calling the kill_sb() callback.

Currently the behaviour of disable_xfrm is inconsistent between locally generated and forwarded packets. For locally generated packets disable_xfrm disables the policy lookup if it is set on the output device, for forwarded traffic however it looks at the input device. This makes it impossible to disable xfrm on all devices but a dummy device and use normal routing to direct traffic to that device. Always use the output device when checking disable_xfrm.

ip_summed changes last summer had missed that one. As the result, we have ip_summed interpreted as CHECKSUM_PARTIAL now.

Commit 590bdf7f introduced a regression in match/target hook validation. mark_source_chains builds a bitmask for each rule representing the hooks it can be reached from, which is then used by the matches and targets to make sure they are only called from valid hooks. The patch moved the match/target specific validation before the mark_source_chains call, at which point the mask is always zero. This patch returns back to the old order and moves the standard checks to mark_source_chains. This allows to get rid of a special case for standard targets as a nice side-effect. Signed-off-by:

The tc actions increased the size of struct tc_police, which broke compatibility with old iproute binaries since both the act_police and the old NET_CLS_POLICE code check for an exact size match. Since the new members are not even used, the simple fix is to also accept the size of the old structure.
