The valid mask for both offcore_response_0 and offcore_response_1 was wrong for SNB/SNB-EP, IVB/IVB-EP. It was possible to write to reserved bit and cause a GP fault crashing the kernel. This patch fixes the problem by correctly marking the reserved bits in the valid mask for all the processors mentioned above. A distinction between desktop and server parts is introduced because bits 24-30 are only available on the server parts. This version of the patch is just a rebase to perf/urgent tree and should apply to older kernels as well.

Merge branch 'uprobes/core' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/oleg/misc into perf/core Pull uprobes updates from Oleg Nesterov: - "uretprobes" - an optimization to uprobes, like kretprobes are an optimization to kprobes. "perf probe -x file sym%return" now works like kretprobes. - PowerPC fixes plus a couple of cleanups/optimizations in uprobes and trace_uprobes. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

Revert commit 62a3ddef ("vfs: fix spinning prevention in prune_icache_sb"). This commit doesn't look right: since we are looking at the tail of the list (sb->s_inode_lru.prev) if we want to skip an inode, we should put it back at the head of the list instead of the tail, otherwise we will keep spinning on it.

Anatol Pomozov identified a race condition that hits module unloading and re-loading. To quote Anatol: "This is a race codition that exists between kset_find_obj() and kobject_put(). kset_find_obj() might return kobject that has refcount equal to 0 if this kobject is freeing by kobject_put() in other thread. Here is timeline for the crash in case if kset_find_obj() searches for an object tht nobody holds and other thread is doing kobject_put() on the same kobject: THREAD A (calls kset_find_obj()) THREAD B (calls kobject_put()) splin_lock() atomic_dec_return(kobj->kref), counter gets zero here ... starts kobject cleanup .... spin_lock() // WAIT thread A in kobj_kset_leave() iterate over kset->list atomic_inc(kobj->kref) (counter becomes 1) spin_unlock() spin_lock() // taken // it does not know that thread A increased counter so it remove obj from list spin_unlock() vfree(module) // frees module object with containing kobj // kobj points to freed memory area!! kobject_put(kobj) // OOPS!!!! The race above happens because module.c tries to use kset_find_obj() when somebody unloads module. The module.c code was introduced in commit 6494a93d" Anatol supplied a patch specific for module.c that worked around the problem by simply not using kset_find_obj() at all, but rather than make a local band-aid, this just fixes kset_find_obj() to be thread-safe using the proper model of refusing the get a new reference if the refcount has already dropped to zero. See examples of this proper refcount handling not only in the kref documentation, but in various other equivalent uses of this pattern by grepping for atomic_inc_not_zero(). [ Side note: the module race does indicate that module loading and unloading is not properly serialized wrt sysfs information using the module mutex. That may require further thought, but this is the correct fix at the kobject layer regardless. ] Reported-analyzed-and-tested-by: Anatol Pomozov <anatol.pomozov@gmail.com> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

struct uprobe_trace_entry_head has a single member for reporting, "unsigned long ip". If we want to support uretprobes we need to create another struct which has "func" and "ret_ip" and duplicate a lot of functions, like trace_kprobe.c does. To avoid this copy-and-paste horror we turn ->ip into ->vaddr[] and add couple of trivial helpers to calculate sizeof/data. This uglifies the code a bit, but this allows us to avoid a lot more complications later, when we add the support for ret-probes.

Unlike the kretprobes we can't trust userspace, thus must have protection from user space attacks. User-space have "unlimited" stack, and this patch limits the return probes nestedness as a simple remedy for it. Note that this implementation leaks return_instance on siglongjmp until exit()/exec(). The intention is to have KISS and bare minimum solution for the initial implementation in order to not complicate the uretprobes code. In the future we may come up with more sophisticated solution that remove this depth limitation. It is not easy task and lays beyond this patchset.

Uretprobe handlers are invoked when the trampoline is hit, on completion the trampoline is replaced with the saved return address and the uretprobe instance deleted. TODO: handle_trampoline() assumes that ->return_instances is always valid. We should teach it to handle longjmp() which can invalidate the pending return_instance's. This is nontrivial, we will try to do this in a separate series.

While trying to track down a tree log replay bug I noticed that fsck was always complaining about nbytes not being right for our fsynced file. That is because the new fsync stuff doesn't wait for ordered extents to complete, so the inodes nbytes are not necessarily updated properly when we log it. So to fix this we need to set nbytes to whatever it is on the inode that is on disk, so when we replay the extents we can just add the bytes that are being added as we replay the extent. This makes it work for the case that we have the wrong nbytes or the case that we logged everything and nbytes is actually correct. With this I'm no longer getting nbytes errors out of btrfsck.

This patch attempts to fix: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56461 The symptom is a crash and messages like this: chrome: Corrupted page table at address 34a03000 *pdpt = 0000000000000000 *pde = 0000000000000000 Bad pagetable: 000f [#1] PREEMPT SMP Ingo guesses this got introduced by commit 611ae8e3 ("x86/tlb: enable tlb flush range support for x86") since that code started to free unused pagetables. On x86-32 PAE kernels, that new code has the potential to free an entire PMD page and will clear one of the four page-directory-pointer-table (aka pgd_t entries). The hardware aggressively "caches" these top-level entries and invlpg does not actually affect the CPU's copy. If we clear one we *HAVE* to do a full TLB flush, otherwise we might continue using a freed pmd page. (note, we do this properly on the population side in pud_populate()). This patch tracks whenever we clear one of these entries in the 'struct mmu_gather', and ensures that we follow up with a full tlb flush. BTW, I disassembled and checked that: if (tlb->fullmm == 0) and if (!tlb->fullmm && !tlb->need_flush_all) generate essentially the same code, so there should be zero impact there to the !PAE case.
