Directives such as .long and .word do not magically cause the assembler location counter to become aligned in gas. As a result, using these directives in code sections can result in misaligned data words when building a Thumb-2 kernel (CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL). This is a Bad Thing, since the ABI permits the compiler to assume that fundamental types of word size or above are word- aligned when accessing them from C. If the data is not really word-aligned, this can cause impaired performance and stray alignment faults in some circumstances. In general, the following rules should be applied when using data word declaration directives inside code sections: * .quad and .double: .align 3 * .long, .word, .single, .float: .align (or .align 2) * .short: No explicit alignment required, since Thumb-2 instructions are always 2 or 4 bytes in size. immediately after an instruction.

The 32-bit conditional branches in Thumb-2 have a shorter range (+/-512K) than their ARM counterparts (+/-32MB). The linker does not currently generate trampolines to extend the range of these Thumb-2 conditional branches, resulting in link errors when vmlinux is sufficiently large, e.g.: head.o:(.text+0x464): relocation truncated to fit: R_ARM_THM_JUMP19 This patch forces the longer-range, unconditional branch encoding by use of an explicit IT instruction. The resulting branches are triggered on the same conditions as before. Signed-off-by: Dave Martin <dave.martin@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

The code which makes up the zImage header intends to leave a 32-byte gap followed by a branch to the real entry point, a magic number, and a word containing the absolute entry point address. This gets messed up with with CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL, because the size of the initial padding NOPs changes. Instead, the header can be made fully compatible by restoring it to ARM. In the Thumb-2 case, we can replace the initial NOPs with a sequence which switches to Thumb and jumps to the real entry point. As a consequence, the zImage entry point is now always ARM, so no special magic is needed any more for the uImage rules in the Thumb-2 case.

Some instruction operand combinations are used here which are nor permitted in Thumb-2. In particular, most uses of pc as an operand are disallowed in Thumb-2, and deprecated in ARM from ARMv7 onwards. The modified code introduced by this patch should be compatible with all architecture versions >= v3, with or without CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL.

This reverts commit e0fdace1. On-list discussion seems to suggest that the robustness fixes for printk make this unnecessary and DaveM has also agreed in person at Kernel Summit and on list. The main problem with this code is once we hit a lockdep splat we always keep oops_in_progress set, the console layer uses oops_in_progress with KMS to decide when it should be showing the oops and not showing X, so it causes problems around suspend/resume time when a userspace resume can cause a console switch away from X, only if oops_in_progress is set (which is what we want if an oops actually is in progress, but not because we had a lockdep splat 2 days prior).

Some Lenovos have TPMs that require a quirk to function correctly. This can be autodetected by checking whether the device has a _HID of INTC0102. This is an invalid PNPid, and as such is discarded by the pnp layer - however it's still present in the ACPI code, so we can pull it out that way. This means that the quirk won't be automatically applied on non-ACPI systems, but without ACPI we don't have any way to identify the chip anyway so I don't think that's a great concern.

Its easy to eat all kernel memory and trigger NMI watchdog, using an exploit program that queues unix sockets on top of others. lkml ref : http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/25/8 This mechanism is used in applications, one choice we have is to have a recursion limit. Other limits might be needed as well (if we queue other types of files), since the passfd mechanism is currently limited by socket receive queue sizes only. Add a recursion_level to unix socket, allowing up to 4 levels. Each time we send an unix socket through sendfd mechanism, we copy its recursion level (plus one) to receiver. This recursion level is cleared when socket receive queue is emptied. Reported-by: Марк Коренберг <socketpair@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

In commit 58933c64(ucc_geth: Fix the wrong the Rx/Tx FIFO size), the UCC_GETH_UTFTT_INIT is set to 512 based on the recommendation of the QE Reference Manual. But that will sometimes cause tx halt while working in half duplex mode. According to errata draft QE_GENERAL-A003(High Tx Virtual FIFO threshold size can cause UCC to halt), setting UTFTT less than [(UTFS x (M - 8)/M) - 128] will prevent this from happening (M is the minimum buffer size). The patch changes UTFTT back to 256.

inet sockets corresponding to passive connections are added to the bind hash using ___inet_inherit_port(). These sockets are later removed from the bind hash using __inet_put_port(). These two functions are not exactly symmetrical. __inet_put_port() decrements hashinfo->bsockets and tb->num_owners, whereas ___inet_inherit_port() does not increment them. This results in both of these going to -ve values. This patch fixes this by calling inet_bind_hash() from ___inet_inherit_port(), which does the right thing. 'bsockets' and 'num_owners' were introduced by commit a9d8f911 (inet: Allowing more than 64k connections and heavily optimize bind(0)) Signed-off-by: Nagendra Singh Tomar <tomer_iisc@yahoo.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Acked-by: Evgeniy Polyakov <zbr@ioremap.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

And in particular, use it in 'pipe_fcntl()'. The other pipe functions do not need to use the 'careful' version, since they are only ever called for things that are already known to be pipes. The normal read/write/ioctl functions are called through the file operations structures, so if a file isn't a pipe, they'd never get called. But pipe_fcntl() is special, and called directly from the generic fcntl code, and needs to use the same careful function that the splice code is using.

.. and change it to take the 'file' pointer instead of an inode, since that's what all users want anyway. The renaming is preparatory to exporting it to other users. The old 'pipe_info()' name was too generic and is already used elsewhere, so before making the function public we need to use a more specific name.
