      ath9k: Fix kernel panic in AR2427 in AP mode · 3cd9332f
      Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan authored
      commit b25bfda3 upstream.
      
      don't do aggregation related stuff for 'AP mode client power save
      handling' if aggregation is not enabled in the driver, otherwise it
      will lead to panic because those data structures won't be never
      intialized in 'ath_tx_node_init' if aggregation is disabled

      ptrace: ensure JOBCTL_STOP_SIGMASK is not zero after detach · 2c60e18b
      Oleg Nesterov authored
      commit 8a88951b upstream.
      
      This is the temporary simple fix for 3.2, we need more changes in this
      area.
      
      1. do_signal_stop() assumes that the running untraced thread in the
         stopped thread group is not possible. This was our goal but it is
         not yet achieved: a stopped-but-resumed tracee can clone the running
         thread which can initiate another group-stop.
      
         Remove WARN_ON_ONCE(!current->ptrace).
      
      2. A new thread always starts with ->jobctl = 0. If it is auto-attached
         and this group is stopped, __ptrace_unlink() sets JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING
         but JOBCTL_STOP_SIGMASK part is zero, this triggers WANR_ON(!signr)
         in do_jobctl_trap() if another debugger attaches.
      
         Change __ptrace_unlink() to set the artificial SIGSTOP for report.
      
         Alternatively we could change ptrace_init_task() to copy signr from
         current, but this means we can copy it for no reason and hide the
         possible similar problems.

      ptrace: partially fix the do_wait(WEXITED) vs EXIT_DEAD->EXIT_ZOMBIE race · 9e83ca1f
      Oleg Nesterov authored
      commit 50b8d257 upstream.
      
      Test-case:
      
      	int main(void)
      	{
      		int pid, status;
      
      		pid = fork();
      		if (!pid) {
      			for (;;) {
      				if (!fork())
      					return 0;
      				if (waitpid(-1, &status, 0) < 0) {
      					printf("ERR!! wait: %m\n");
      					return 0;
      				}
      			}
      		}
      
      		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, 0,0) == 0);
      		assert(waitpid(-1, NULL, 0) == pid);
      
      		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, 0,
      					PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK) == 0);
      
      		do {
      			ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, 0, 0);
      			pid = waitpid(-1, NULL, 0);
      		} while (pid > 0);
      
      		return 1;
      	}
      
      It fails because ->real_parent sees its child in EXIT_DEAD state
      while the tracer is going to change the state back to EXIT_ZOMBIE
      in wait_task_zombie().
      
      The offending commit is 823b018e which moved the EXIT_DEAD check,
      but in fact we should not blame it. The original code was not
      correct as well because it didn't take ptrace_reparented() into
      account and because we can't really trust ->ptrace.
      
      This patch adds the additional check to close this particular
      race but it doesn't solve the whole problem. We simply can't
      rely on ->ptrace in this case, it can be cleared if the tracer
      is multithreaded by the exiting ->parent.
      
      I think we should kill EXIT_DEAD altogether, we should always
      remove the soon-to-be-reaped child from ->children or at least
      we should never do the DEAD->ZOMBIE transition. But this is too
      complex for 3.2.

      Revert "rtc: Disable the alarm in the hardware" · f63f475a
      Linus Torvalds authored
      commit 157e8bf8 upstream.
      
      This reverts commit c0afabd3.
      
      It causes failures on Toshiba laptops - instead of disabling the alarm,
      it actually seems to enable it on the affected laptops, resulting in
      (for example) the laptop powering on automatically five minutes after
      shutdown.
      
      There's a patch for it that appears to work for at least some people,
      but it's too late to play around with this, so revert for now and try
      again in the next merge window.
      
      See for example

      hung_task: fix false positive during vfork · 12ed227d
      Mandeep Singh Baines authored
      commit f9fab10b upstream.
      
      vfork parent uninterruptibly and unkillably waits for its child to
      exec/exit. This wait is of unbounded length. Ignore such waits
      in the hung_task detector.
