lib: vsprintf: optimize put_dec_trunc8() · cb239d0a

George Spelvin authored Oct 04, 2012

If you're going to have a conditional branch after each 32x32->64-bit
multiply, might as well shrink the code and make it a loop.

This also avoids using the long multiply for small integers.

(This leaves the comments in a confusing state, but that's a separate
patch to make review easier.)

poweroff: fix bug in orderly_poweroff() · 6c0c0d4d

hongfeng authored Oct 04, 2012

orderly_poweroff is trying to poweroff platform in two steps:

step 1: Call user space application to poweroff
step 2: If user space poweroff fail, then do a force power off if force param
        is set.

The bug here is, step 1 is always successful with param UMH_NO_WAIT, which obey
the design goal of orderly_poweroff.

We have two choices here:
UMH_WAIT_EXEC which means wait for the exec, but not the process;
UMH_WAIT_PROC which means wait for the process to complete.
we need to trade off the two choices:

If using UMH_WAIT_EXEC, there is potential issue comments by Serge E.
Hallyn: The exec will have started, but may for whatever (very unlikely)
reason fail.

If using UMH_WAIT_PROC, there is potential issue comments by Eric W.
Biederman: If the caller is not running in a kernel thread then we can
easily get into a case where the user space caller will block waiting for
us when we are waiting for the user space caller.

Thanks for their excellent ideas, based on the above discussion, we
finally choose UMH_WAIT_EXEC, which is much more safe, if the user
application really fails, we just complain the application itself, it
seems a better choice here.

kernel/sys.c: call disable_nonboot_cpus() in kernel_restart() · f96972f2

Shawn Guo authored Oct 04, 2012

As kernel_power_off() calls disable_nonboot_cpus(), we may also want to
have kernel_restart() call disable_nonboot_cpus().  Doing so can help
machines that require boot cpu be the last alive cpu during reboot to
survive with kernel restart.

This fixes one reboot issue seen on imx6q (Cortex-A9 Quad).  The machine
requires that the restart routine be run on the primary cpu rather than
secondary ones.  Otherwise, the secondary core running the restart
routine will fail to come to online after reboot.

tile: fix personality bits handling upon exec() · 9f6547a3

Jiri Kosina authored Oct 04, 2012

Historically, the top three bytes of personality have been used for
things such as ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE, which made sense only for specific
architectures.

We now however have a flag there that is general no matter the
architecture (UNAME26); generally we have to be careful to preserve the
personality flags across exec().

This patch fixes tile architecture not to forcefully overwrite
personality flags during exec().

In addition to that, we fix two other things along the way:

- exec_domain switching is fixed -- set_personality() should always
  be used instead of directly assigning to current->personality.
- as pointed out by Arnd Bergmann, PER_LINUX_32BIT is not used anywhere
  by tile, so let's just drop that in favor of PER_LINUX

cross-arch: don't corrupt personality flags upon exec() · 16f3e95b

Jiri Kosina authored Oct 04, 2012

Historically, the top three bytes of personality have been used for

architectures.

We now however have a flag there that is general no matter the
architecture (UNAME26); generally we have to be careful to preserve the

This patch tries to fix all architectures that forcefully overwrite
personality flags during exec() (ppc32 and s390 have been fixed recently
by commits f9783ec8 ("[S390] Do not clobber personality flags on
exec") and 59e4c3a2 ("powerpc/32: Don't clobber personality flags on
exec") in a similar way already).
