      devcgroup: fix permission check when adding entry to child cgroup · ec229e83
      Li Zefan authored
       # cat devices.list
       c 1:3 r
       # echo 'c 1:3 w' > sub/devices.allow
       # cat sub/devices.list
       c 1:3 w
      
      As illustrated, the parent group has no write permission to /dev/null, so
      it's child should not be allowed to add this write permission.

      devcgroup: always show positive major/minor num · 17d213f8
      Li Zefan authored
       # echo "b $((0x7fffffff)):$((0x80000000)) rwm" > devices.allow

       b 214748364:-21474836 rwm
      
      though a major/minor number of 0x800000000 is meaningless, we
      should not cast it to a negative value.

      x86: I/O APIC: remove an IRQ2-mask hack · ce8b06b9
      Maciej W. Rozycki authored
      Now that IRQ2 is never made available to the I/O APIC, there is no need
      to special-case it and mask as a workaround for broken systems.  Actually,
      because of the former, mask_IO_APIC_irq(2) is a no-op already.

      cpusets, hotplug, scheduler: fix scheduler domain breakage · 3e84050c
      Dmitry Adamushko authored
      Commit f18f982a ("sched: CPU hotplug events must not destroy scheduler
      domains created by the cpusets") introduced a hotplug-related problem as
      described below:
      
      Upon CPU_DOWN_PREPARE,
      
        update_sched_domains() -> detach_destroy_domains(&cpu_online_map)
      
      does the following:
      
      /*
       * Force a reinitialization of the sched domains hierarchy. The domains
       * and groups cannot be updated in place without racing with the balancing
       * code, so we temporarily attach all running cpus to the NULL domain
       * which will prevent rebalancing while the sched domains are recalculated.
       */
      
      The sched-domains should be rebuilt when a CPU_DOWN ops. has been
      completed, effectively either upon CPU_DEAD{_FROZEN} (upon success) or
      CPU_DOWN_FAILED{_FROZEN} (upon failure -- restore the things to their
      initial state). That's what update_sched_domains() also does but only
      for !CPUSETS case.
      
      With f18f982a, sched-domains' reinitialization is delegated to
      CPUSETS code:
      
      cpuset_handle_cpuhp() -> common_cpu_mem_hotplug_unplug() ->
      rebuild_sched_domains()
      
      Being called for CPU_UP_PREPARE and if its callback is called after
      update_sched_domains()), it just negates all the work done by
      update_sched_domains() -- i.e. a soon-to-be-offline cpu is included in
      the sched-domains and that makes it visible for the load-balancer
      while the CPU_DOWN ops. is in progress.
      
      __migrate_live_tasks() moves the tasks off a 'dead' cpu (it's already
      "offline" when this function is called).
      
      try_to_wake_up() is called for one of these tasks from another CPU ->
      the load-balancer (wake_idle()) picks up a "dead" CPU and places the
      task on it. Then e.g. BUG_ON(rq->nr_running) detects this a bit later
      -> oops.

      x86: fix numaq_tsc_disable calling · 3d88cca7
      Yinghai Lu authored
      got this on a test-system:
      
       calling  numaq_tsc_disable+0x0/0x39
       NUMAQ: disabling TSC
       initcall numaq_tsc_disable+0x0/0x39 returned 0 after 0 msecs
      
      that's because we should not be using arch_initcall to call numaq_tsc_disable.
      
      need to call it in setup_arch before time_init()/tsc_init()
      and call it in init_intel() to make the cpu feature bits right.

      x86, e820: remove end_user_pfn · 7b479bec
      Yinghai Lu authored
      end_user_pfn used to modify the meaning of the e820 maps.
      
      Now that all e820 operations are cleaned up, unified, tightened up,
      the e820 map always get updated to reality, we don't need to keep
      this secondary mechanism anymore.
      
      If you hit this commit in bisection it means something slipped through.

      optimization: try to merge the range with same page size in

      thus when GBpages is not there, we could do 2M pages.

      tighten the boundary checks around max_low_pfn_mapped - dont overmap
      nor undermap into holes.
      
      also print out tseg for AMD cpus, for diagnostic purposes.
      (this is an SMM area, and we split up any big mappings around that area)
