Impact: implement new API We define arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask and generic kernel/smp.c code creates arch_send_call_function_ipi() as a wrapper. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Impact: reduce kernel memory usage when CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y Simple conversion of mce_device_initialized to cpumask_var_t. We don't check the alloc_cpumask_var() return since it's boot-time only, and the misc_register() in that same function isn't checked. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Impact: reduce per-cpu size for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y In most places it's cleaner to use the accessors cpu_sibling_mask() and cpu_core_mask() wrappers which already exist. I couldn't avoid cleaning up the access in oprofile, either. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Impact: cleanup, reduce memory usage for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y I *think* every path calls check_nmi_watchdog before using the watchdog, so that's the right place for the initialization. If that's wrong, we'll get a nice NULL-deref with CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y, and have uncovered another bug. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Impact: cleanup (Thanks to Al Viro for reminding me of this, via Ingo) CPU_MASK_ALL is the (deprecated) "all bits set" cpumask, defined as so: #define CPU_MASK_ALL (cpumask_t) { { ... } } Taking the address of such a temporary is questionable at best, unfortunately 321a8e9d (cpumask: add CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR macro) added CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR: #define CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR (&CPU_MASK_ALL) Which formalizes this practice. One day gcc could bite us over this usage (though we seem to have gotten away with it so far). So replace everywhere which used &CPU_MASK_ALL or CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR with the modern "cpu_all_mask" (a real const struct cpumask *), and remove CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR altogether.

Impact: cleanup This is presumably what those definitions are for, and while all archs define cpu_core_map/cpu_sibling map, that's changing (eg. x86 wants to change it to a pointer). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Samuel CUELLA authored
Prevent the kernel from being crashed by a divide-by-zero operation when supplied an incorrectly filled 'struct fb_var_screeninfo' from userland. Previously i810_main.c:1005 (i810_check_params) was using the global 'yres' symbol previously defined at i810_main.c:145 as a module parameter value holder (i810_main.c:2174). If i810fb is compiled-in or if this param doesn't get a default value, this direct usage leads to a divide-by-zero at i810_main.c:1005 (i810_check_params). The patch simply replace the 'yres' global, perhaps undefined symbol usage by a given parameter structure lookup. This problem occurs with directfb, mplayer -vo fbdev, SDL library. It was also reported ( but non solved ) at: http://mail.directfb.org/pipermail/directfb-dev/2008-March/004050.htmlSigned-off-by: Samuel CUELLA <samuel.cuella@supinfo.com> Cc: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz> Cc: Krzysztof Helt <krzysztof.h1@poczta.fm> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Paul E. McKenney authored
Fix a problem in the IDR system, where an idr_remove_all() hands a data element to call_rcu() (via free_layer()) before making that data element inaccessible to new readers. This is very bad, and results in readers still having a reference to this data element at the end of the grace period. Tests on large machines that concurrently map and unmap user-space memory within the same multithreaded process result in crashes within about five minutes. Applying this patch increases the kernel's longevity to the three-to-eight-hour range. There appear to be other similar problems in idr_get_empty_slot() and sub_remove(), but I fixed the easy one in idr_remove_all() first. It is therefore no surprise that failures still occur.

The verstep check in the lm85 driver fails because the upper nibble of the version register is 0x7, not 0x6, on the adt7468 chip. Probing of all adt7468s was broken by 69fc1feb ("hwmon: (lm85) Rework the device detection"), and this patch fixes that.

The COMPAT_BRK kconfig symbol does not depend on EMBEDDED, but it is in the midst of the EMBEDDED menu symbols, so it mucks up the EMBEDDED menu. Fix by moving it to just after all of the EMBEDDED menu symbols. Also, ANON_INODES has a similar problem, so move it to just above the EMBEDDED menu items since it is used in the EMBEDDED menu.

get_nid_for_pfn() returns int Presumably the (nid < 0) case has never happened. We do know that it is happening on one system while creating a symlink for a memory section so it should also happen on the same system if unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes() were called to remove the same symlink. The test was actually added in response to a problem with an earlier version reported by Yasunori Goto where one or more of the leading pages of a memory section on the 2nd node of one of his systems was uninitialized because I believe they coincided with a memory hole. That earlier version did not ignore uninitialized pages and determined the nid by considering only the 1st page of each memory section. This caused the symlink to the 1st memory section on the 2nd node to be incorrectly created in /sys/devices/system/node/node0 instead of /sys/devices/system/node/node1. The problem was fixed by adding the test to skip over uninitialized pages. I suspect we have not seen any reports of the non-removal of a symlink due to the incorrect declaration of the nid variable in unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes() because - systems where a memory section could have an uninitialized range of leading pages are probably rare. - memory remove is probably not done very frequently on the systems that are capable of demonstrating the problem. - lingering symlink(s) that should have been removed may have simply gone unnoticed.
