commit ba9f207c upstream. HARDIRQ_ENTER() maps to irq_enter() which calls rcu_irq_enter(). But HARDIRQ_EXIT() maps to __irq_exit() which doesn't call rcu_irq_exit(). So for every locking selftest that simulates hardirq disabled, we create an imbalance in the rcu extended quiescent state internal state. As a result, after the first missing rcu_irq_exit(), subsequent irqs won't exit dyntick-idle mode after leaving the interrupt handler. This means that RCU won't see the affected CPU as being in an extended quiescent state, resulting in long grace-period delays (as in grace periods extending for hours). To fix this, just use __irq_enter() to simulate the hardirq context. This is sufficient for the locking selftests as we don't need to exit any extended quiescent state or perform any check that irqs normally do when they wake up from idle. As a side effect, this patch makes it possible to restore "rcu: Decrease memory-barrier usage based on semi-formal proof", which eventually helped finding this bug. Reported-and-tested-by:

commit d47cc0db upstream. The workaround for Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33012 introduced a read and a write to the MC4 mask msr. Unfortunatly this MSR is not emulated by the KVM hypervisor so that the kernel will get a #GP and crashes when applying this workaround when running inside KVM. This issue was reported as: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35132 and is fixed with this patch. The change just let the kernel ignore any #GP it gets while accessing this MSR by using the _safe msr access methods. Reported-by:

commit e9cdd343 upstream. Commit b87cf80a added support for ARAT (Always Running APIC timer) on AMD processors that are not affected by erratum 400. This erratum is present on certain processor families and prevents APIC timer from waking up the CPU when it is in a deep C state, including C1E state. Determining whether a processor is affected by this erratum may have some corner cases and handling these cases is somewhat complicated. In the interest of simplicity we won't claim ARAT support on processor families below 0x12 and will go back to broadcasting timer when going idle. Signed-off-by:

commit d9b01934 upstream. If an application program does not make any changes to the indirect blocks or extent tree, i_datasync_tid will not get updated. If there are enough commits (i.e., 2**31) such that tid_geq()'s calculations wrap, and there isn't a currently active transaction at the time of the fdatasync() call, this can end up triggering a BUG_ON in fs/jbd/commit.c: J_ASSERT(journal->j_running_transaction != NULL); It's pretty rare that this can happen, since it requires the use of fdatasync() plus *very* frequent and excessive use of fsync(). But with the right workload, it can. We fix this by replacing the use of tid_geq() with an equality test, since there's only one valid transaction id that is valid for us to start: namely, the currently running transaction (if it exists).

commit 2842bb20 upstream. In do_get_write_access() we wait on BH_Unshadow bit for buffer to get from shadow state. The waking code in journal_commit_transaction() has a bug because it does not issue a memory barrier after the buffer is moved from the shadow state and before wake_up_bit() is called. Thus a waitqueue check can happen before the buffer is actually moved from the shadow state and waiting process may never be woken. Fix the problem by issuing proper barrier. Reported-by:

commit 86c4f6d8 upstream. When make_indexed_dir() fails (e.g. because of ENOSPC) after it has allocated block for index tree root, we did not properly mark all changed buffers dirty. This lead to only some of these buffers being written out and thus effectively corrupting the directory. Fix the issue by marking all changed data dirty even in the error failure case. Signed-off-by:

commit 26afb7c6 upstream. As reported in BZ #30352: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30352 there's a kernel bug related to reading the last allowed page on x86_64. The _copy_to_user() and _copy_from_user() functions use the following check for address limit: if (buf + size >= limit) fail(); while it should be more permissive: if (buf + size > limit) fail(); That's because the size represents the number of bytes being read/write from/to buf address AND including the buf address. So the copy function will actually never touch the limit address even if "buf + size == limit". Following program fails to use the last page as buffer due to the wrong limit check: #include <sys/mman.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <assert.h> #define PAGE_SIZE (4096) #define LAST_PAGE ((void*)(0x7fffffffe000)) int main() { int fds[2], err; void * ptr = mmap(LAST_PAGE, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_FIXED, -1, 0); assert(ptr == LAST_PAGE); err = socketpair(AF_LOCAL, SOCK_STREAM, 0, fds); assert(err == 0); err = send(fds[0], ptr, PAGE_SIZE, 0); perror("send"); assert(err == PAGE_SIZE); err = recv(fds[1], ptr, PAGE_SIZE, MSG_WAITALL); perror("recv"); assert(err == PAGE_SIZE); return 0; } The other place checking the addr limit is the access_ok() function, which is working properly. There's just a misleading comment for the __range_not_ok() macro - which this patch fixes as well. The last page of the user-space address range is a guard page and Brian Gerst observed that the guard page itself due to an erratum on K8 cpus (#121 Sequential Execution Across Non-Canonical Boundary Causes Processor Hang). However, the test code is using the last valid page before the guard page. The bug is that the last byte before the guard page can't be read because of the off-by-one error. The guard page is left in place. This bug would normally not show up because the last page is part of the process stack and never accessed via syscalls. Signed-off-by:

commit 02e35228 upstream. __blkdev_get() doesn't rescan partitions if disk->fops->open() fails, which leads to ghost partition devices lingering after medimum removal is known to both the kernel and userland. The behavior also creates a subtle inconsistency where O_NONBLOCK open, which doesn't fail even if there's no medium, clears the ghots partitions, which is exploited to work around the problem from userland. Fix it by updating __blkdev_get() to issue partition rescan after -ENOMEDIA too. This was reported in the following bz. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13029 Stable: 2.6.38 Signed-off-by:

commit 3d2cea73 upstream. Commit 1fc711f7 (powerpc/kexec: Fix race in kexec shutdown) moved the write to signal the cpu had exited the kernel from before the transition to real mode in kexec_smp_wait to kexec_wait. Unfornately it missed that kexec_wait is used both by cpus leaving the kernel and by secondary slave cpus that were not allocated a paca for what ever reason -- they could be beyond nr_cpus or not described in the current device tree for whatever reason (for example, kexec-load was not refreshed after a cpu hotplug operation). Cpus coming through that path they will write to paca[NR_CPUS] which is beyond the space allocated for the paca data and overwrite memory not allocated to pacas but very likely still real mode accessable). Move the write back to kexec_smp_wait, which is used only by cpus that found their paca, but after the transition to real mode. Signed-off-by:

commit 98586ed8 upstream. When a CPU is taken offline in an SMP system, cpufreq_remove_dev() nulls out the per-cpu policy before cpufreq_stats_free_table() can make use of it. cpufreq_stats_free_table() then skips the call to sysfs_remove_group(), leaving about 100 bytes of sysfs-related memory unclaimed each time a CPU-removal occurs. Break up cpu_stats_free_table into sysfs and table portions, and call the sysfs portion early. Signed-off-by:

commit 27ecddc2 upstream. When we discover CPUs that are affected by each other's frequency/voltage transitions, the first CPU gets a sysfs directory created, and rest of the siblings get symlinks. Currently, when we hotplug off only the first CPU, all of the symlinks and the sysfs directory gets removed. Even though rest of the siblings are still online and functional, they are orphaned, and no longer governed by cpufreq. This patch, given the above scenario, creates a sysfs directory for the first sibling and symlinks for the rest of the siblings. Please note the recursive call, it was rather too ugly to roll it out. And the removal of redundant NULL setting (it is already taken care of near the top of the function). Signed-off-by:

commit ebde6f8a upstream. During initialization of vmxnet3, the state of LRO gets out of sync with netdev->features. This leads to very poor TCP performance in a IP forwarding setup and is hitting many VMware users. Simplified call sequence: 1. vmxnet3_declare_features() initializes "adapter->lro" to true. 2. The kernel automatically disables LRO if IP forwarding is enabled, so vmxnet3_set_flags() gets called. This also updates netdev->features. 3. Now vmxnet3_setup_driver_shared() is called. "adapter->lro" is still set to true and LRO gets enabled again, even though netdev->features shows it's disabled. Fix it by updating "adapter->lro", too. The private vmxnet3 adapter flags are scheduled for removal in net-next, see commit a0d2730c "net: vmxnet3: convert to hw_features". Patch applies to 2.6.37 / 2.6.38 and 2.6.39-rc6.

commit e503f9e4 upstream. This patch fixes a bug reported by a customer, who found that many unreasonable error interrupts reported on all non-boot CPUs (APs) during the system boot stage. According to Chapter 10 of Intel Software Developer Manual Volume 3A, Local APIC may signal an illegal vector error when an LVT entry is set as an illegal vector value (0~15) under FIXED delivery mode (bits 8-11 is 0), regardless of whether the mask bit is set or an interrupt actually happen. These errors are seen as error interrupts. The initial value of thermal LVT entries on all APs always reads 0x10000 because APs are woken up by BSP issuing INIT-SIPI-SIPI sequence to them and LVT registers are reset to 0s except for the mask bits which are set to 1s when APs receive INIT IPI. When the BIOS takes over the thermal throttling interrupt, the LVT thermal deliver mode should be SMI and it is required from the kernel to keep AP's LVT thermal monitoring register programmed as such as well. This issue happens when BIOS does not take over thermal throttling interrupt, AP's LVT thermal monitor register will be restored to 0x10000 which means vector 0 and fixed deliver mode, so all APs will signal illegal vector error interrupts. This patch check if interrupt delivery mode is not fixed mode before restoring AP's LVT thermal monitor register. Signed-off-by:

commit 07f4beb0 upstream. The first cpu which switches from periodic to oneshot mode switches also the broadcast device into oneshot mode. The broadcast device serves as a backup for per cpu timers which stop in deeper C-states. To avoid starvation of the cpus which might be in idle and depend on broadcast mode it marks the other cpus as broadcast active and sets the brodcast expiry value of those cpus to the next tick. The oneshot mode broadcast bit for the other cpus is sticky and gets only cleared when those cpus exit idle. If a cpu was not idle while the bit got set in consequence the bit prevents that the broadcast device is armed on behalf of that cpu when it enters idle for the first time after it switched to oneshot mode. In most cases that goes unnoticed as one of the other cpus has usually a timer pending which keeps the broadcast device armed with a short timeout. Now if the only cpu which has a short timer active has the bit set then the broadcast device will not be armed on behalf of that cpu and will fire way after the expected timer expiry. In the case of Christians bug report it took ~145 seconds which is about half of the wrap around time of HPET (the limit for that device) due to the fact that all other cpus had no timers armed which expired before the 145 seconds timeframe. The solution is simply to clear the broadcast active bit unconditionally when a cpu switches to oneshot mode after the first cpu switched the broadcast device over. It's not idle at that point otherwise it would not be executing that code. [ I fundamentally hate that broadcast crap. Why the heck thought some folks that when going into deep idle it's a brilliant concept to switch off the last device which brings the cpu back from that state? ] Thanks to Christian for providing all the valuable debug information!

commit e05b2efb upstream. Christian Hoffmann reported that the command line clocksource override with acpi_pm timer fails: Kernel command line: <SNIP> clocksource=acpi_pm hpet clockevent registered Switching to clocksource hpet Override clocksource acpi_pm is not HRT compatible. Cannot switch while in HRT/NOHZ mode. The watchdog code is what enables CLOCK_SOURCE_VALID_FOR_HRES, but we actually end up selecting the clocksource before we enqueue it into the watchdog list, so that's why we see the warning and fail to switch to acpi_pm timer as requested. That's particularly bad when we want to debug timekeeping related problems in early boot. Put the selection call last. Reported-by:

commit 14fb57dc upstream. Trying to enable the local APIC timer on early K8 revisions uncovers a number of other issues with it, in conjunction with the C1E enter path on AMD. Fixing those causes much more churn and troubles than the benefit of using that timer brings so don't enable it on K8 at all, falling back to the original functionality the kernel had wrt to that.

commit 328935e6 upstream. This reverts commit e20a2d20, as it crashes certain boxes with specific AMD CPU models. Moving the lower endpoint of the Erratum 400 check to accomodate earlier K8 revisions (A-E) opens a can of worms which is simply not worth to fix properly by tweaking the errata checking framework: * missing IntPenging MSR on revisions < CG cause #GP: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=130541471818831 * makes earlier revisions use the LAPIC timer instead of the C1E idle routine which switches to HPET, thus not waking up in deeper C-states: http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/24/20 Therefore, leave the original boundary starting with K8-revF.

commit cf7e032f upstream. Changeset b6114794 ("zorro8390: convert to net_device_ops") broke zorro8390 by adding 8390.o to the link. That meant that lib8390.c was included twice, once in zorro8390.c and once in 8390.c, subject to different macros. This patch reverts that by avoiding the wrappers in 8390.c. Fix based on commits 217cbfa8 ("mac8390: fix regression caused during net_device_ops conversion") and 4e0168fa ("mac8390: fix build with NET_POLL_CONTROLLER"). Reported-by:

commit 2ae1b8b3 upstream. We occasionally see list corruption using libertas. While we haven't been able to diagnose this precisely, we have spotted a possible cause: cmdpendingq is generally modified with driver_lock held. However, there are a couple of points where this is not the case. Fix up those operations to execute under the lock, it seems like the correct thing to do and will hopefully improve the situation.

Currently with 2.6.32-longterm, its possible for time() to occasionally return values one second earlier then the previous time() call. This happens because update_xtime_cache() does: xtime_cache = xtime; timespec_add_ns(&xtime_cache, nsec); Its possible that xtime is 1sec,999msecs, and nsecs is 1ms, resulting in a xtime_cache that is 2sec,0ms. get_seconds() (which is used by sys_time()) does not take the xtime_lock, which is ok as the xtime.tv_sec value is a long and can be atomically read safely. The problem occurs the next call to update_xtime_cache() if xtime has not increased: /* This sets xtime_cache back to 1sec, 999msec */ xtime_cache = xtime; /* get_seconds, calls here, and sees a 1second inconsistency */ timespec_add_ns(&xtime_cache, nsec); In order to resolve this, we could add locking to get_seconds(), but it needs to be lock free, as it is called from the machine check handler, opening a possible deadlock. So instead, this patch introduces an intermediate value for the calculations, so that we only assign xtime_cache once with the correct time, using ACCESS_ONCE to make sure the compiler doesn't optimize out any intermediate values. The xtime_cache manipulations were removed with 2.6.35, so that kernel and later do not need this change. In 2.6.33 and 2.6.34 the logarithmic accumulation should make it so xtime is updated each tick, so it is unlikely that two updates to xtime_cache could occur while the difference between xtime and xtime_cache crosses the second boundary. However, the paranoid might want to pull this into 2.6.33/34-longterm just to be sure. Thanks to Stephen for helping finally narrow down the root cause and many hours of help with testing and validation. Also thanks to Max, Andi, Eric and Paul for review of earlier attempts and helping clarify what is possible with regard to out of order execution. Acked-by:

commit a2948659 upstream. A length of zero (after subtracting two for the type and len fields) for the DCCPO_{CHANGE,CONFIRM}_{L,R} options will cause an underflow due to the subtraction. The subsequent code may read past the end of the options value buffer when parsing. I'm unsure of what the consequences of this might be, but it's probably not good. Signed-off-by:
