Doing some various "make randconfig", I came across an error when CONFIG_BUG was not set: arch/powerpc/kernel/module.c: In function 'module_find_bug': arch/powerpc/kernel/module.c:111: error: increment of pointer to unknown structure arch/powerpc/kernel/module.c:111: error: arithmetic on pointer to an incomplete type arch/powerpc/kernel/module.c:112: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type Looking further into this, I found that module_find_bug, defined in powerpc arch code, is not called anywhere, so this just removes it. There is a static module_find_bug in lib/bug.c but that is a separate issue. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

If the firmware page size used for collaborative memory overcommit is 4k, but the kernel is using 64k pages, the page loaning is currently broken as it only marks the first 4k page of each 64k page as loaned. This fixes this to iterate through each 4k page and mark them all as loaned/active.

The intent of "flush_tlbs" is to invalidate all TLB entries by doing a TLB invalidate instruction for all pages in the address range 0 to 0x00400000. A loop counter is set up at the high value and decremented by page size. However, the loop is only done once as the sense of the conditional branch at the loop end does not match the setup/decrement. This fixes it to do the whole range by correcting the branch condition. Signed-off-by: Rocky Craig <rocky.craig@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

When we fork, init_new_context() improperly resets the vdso_base of the new context to 0. That means that the new process loses access to the vdso for signal trampolines. The initialization should be unnecessary anyway as the context on a fresh mm should be 0 in the first place and binfmt_elf will initialize that value for a newly loaded process.

There is a bug in menu governor where we have if (data->elapsed_us < data->elapsed_us + measured_us) with measured_us already having elapsed_us added in tickless case here unsigned int measured_us = cpuidle_get_last_residency(dev) + data->elapsed_us; Also, it should be last_residency, not measured_us, that need to be used to do comparing and distinguish between expected & non-expected events.

poll_idle was added to CPUIDLE, just as a low latency idle handler, to be used in cases when user desires CPUs not to enter any idle state at all. It was supposed to be a run time idle=poll option to the user. But, it was indeed getting used during normal menu and ladder governor default case, with no special user setting (Reported by Linus Torvalds). Change below ensures that poll_idle will not be used unless user explicitly asks pm_qos infrastructure for zero latency requirement.

as per this discussion: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/12/423 Pardo reported that 64-bit threaded apps, if their stacks exceed the combined size of ~4GB, slow down drastically in pthread_create() - because glibc uses MAP_32BIT to allocate the stacks. The use of MAP_32BIT is a legacy hack - to speed up context switching on certain early model 64-bit P4 CPUs. So introduce a new flag to be used by glibc instead, to not constrain 64-bit apps like this. glibc can switch to this new flag straight away - it will be ignored by the kernel. If those old CPUs ever matter to anyone, support for it can be implemented.

Jean Delvare's machine triggered this BUG acpi_os_map_memory phys ffff0000 size 65535 ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at arch/x86/mm/pat.c:233! with ACPI in the backtrace. Adding some debugging output showed that ACPI calls acpi_os_map_memory phys ffff0000 size 65535 And ioremap/PAT does this check in 32bit, so addr+size wraps and the BUG in reserve_memtype() triggers incorrectly. BUG_ON(start >= end); /* end is exclusive */ But reserve_memtype already uses u64: int reserve_memtype(u64 start, u64 end, so the 32bit truncation must happen in the caller. Presumably in ioremap when it passes this information to reserve_memtype(). This patch does this computation in 64bit. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11346Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

A fuzzed fileystem image failed with OMFS when the extent count was used in a loop without being checked against the max number of extents. It also provoked a signed division for an array index that was checked as if unsigned, leading to index by -1. omfsck will be updated to fix these cases, in the meantime bail out gracefully.

Testing with a modified fsfuzzer reveals a couple of locations in omfs where filesystem variables are ultimately used as loop counters with insufficient sanity checking. In this case, dir->i_size is used to compute the number of buckets in the directory hash. If too large, readdir will overrun a buffer. Since it's an invariant that dir->i_size is equal to the sysblock size, and we already sanity check that, just use that value instead.

When reviewing a recent patch I noticed a potential trouble spot in the registration of new SPI devices. The SPI master driver is told to set the device up before adding it to the driver model, so that it's always properly set up when probe() is called. (This is important, because in the case of inverted chipselects, this device can make the bus misbehave until it's properly deselected. It's got to be set up even if no driver binds to the device.) The trouble spot is that it doesn't first verify that no other device has been added using that chipselect. If such a device has been added, its configuration gets trashed. (Fortunately this has not been a common error!) The fix here adds an explicit check, and a mutex to protect the relevant critical region.

write_cache_pages() uses i_mapping->writeback_index to pick up where it left off the last time a given inode was found by pdflush or balance_dirty_pages (or anyone else who sets wbc->range_cyclic) alloc_inode() should set it to a sane value so that writeback doesn't start in the middle of a file. It is somewhat difficult to notice the bug since write_cache_pages will loop around to the start of the file and the elevator helps hide the resulting seeks. For whatever reason, Btrfs hits this often. Unpatched, untarring 30 copies of the linux kernel in series runs at 47MB/s on a single sata drive. With this fix, it jumps to 62MB/s.

Currently, all sensors are read when the energy meter is queried via sysfs. This introduces a considerable amount of delay and variation in the sysfs reading, which is not desirable when trying to profile energy use.

On older machines, probing for a nonexistent AEM interface returned an IPMI error; when we saw this, we'd stop probing. On the x3650 M2 and (presumably) later, we are returned a value indicating success and a buffer full of garbage or zeroes. This causes the probe function to run in an infinite loop. To fix this, we add one last check--if the interface number we're looking for is higher than the number of interfaces that AEM claims to have, stop probing. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

Previously the driver was only using DMI to prevent smbus probing on non-Abit motherboards. However, since the manual probing method is brittle and prone to failure on some Abit motherboards (esp. the Abit IP35 Pro) it is better to use DMI to also read the board name and then decide whether or not to probe the bus. At the moment, we do not have a list of valid DMI name strings to use for existing and supported motherboards. This patch only implements DMI probing for the IP35 Pro. For motherboards that can not yet use DMI probing, a warning will be printed to the kernel log asking those users to email me their dmidecode output. The existing manual probing mechanism will be used if CONFIG_DMI is not enabled, if DMI probing fails (for DMI-unsupported motherboards), or if DMI probing fails and the "force" option is set (for DMI-supported motherboards). Ideally in the longer term this manual probing method would be removed. This patch should be safe to apply as it does not change the probing behaviour for most of the supported motherboards, just the IP35 Pro, which already has regressions filed against it in 2.6.26.
