This patch fixes a NULL-pointer dereference in ia64_machine_kexec(). The variable ia64_kimage is set in machine_kexec_prepare() which is called from sys_kexec_load(). If kdump wasn't configured before, ia64_kimage is NULL. machine_kdump_on_init() passes ia64_kimage() to machine_kexec() which assumes a valid value. The patch also adds a few sanity checks for the image to simplify debugging of similar problems in future.

I encountered one problem when running ptrace test case the situation is this: traced process's syscall parameter needs to be accessed, but for sys_clone system call with clone_flag (CLONE_VFORK | CLONE_VM | SIGCHLD) parameter. This syscall's parameter accessing result is wrong. The reason is that vforked child process mm point is the same, but tgid is different. Without this patch find_thread_for_addr will return vforked process if vforked process is also stopped, but not the thread which calls vfork syscall. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

Some patches have turned up on xen-devel recently to convert strcpy() to safer alternatives and so forth. While reviewing those patches I noticed that the features string building could be cleaned up. This patch uses snprintf() instead of strcpy() and direct character pointer manipulation. It makes the features string building safe and gets rid of the special case for features output in show_cpuinfo() Additionally I removed the (int) cast of ARRAY_SIZE, which seems to serve no purpose.

As is pointed out in http://www.gelato.org/community/view_linear.php?id=1_1036&from=authors&value=Ian%20Wienand#1_1039, if single step on break instruction, the break fault has higher priority than the single-step trap. When the break fault handler is entered, it advances the IP by 1 instruction so break instruction single-stepping is skipped, actually it is next instruction which is single stepped. This patch modifies this, it adds TIF_SINGLESTEP bit for thread flags, and generate a fake sigtrap when single stepping break instruction. Test case in attachment can verify this. Any comments is welcome. Signed-off-by: bibo, mao <bibo.mao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

linux/uaccess.h was being included, but it seems that really the following includes are needed. asm/page.h: for __va() and PAGE_SHIFT asm/uaccess.h: for copy_to_user() I guess that linux/uaccess.h pulls in both asm/page.h and asm/uaccess.h. I notices this while backporting the code to xen's linux-2.6.16.33, which does not have linux/uaccess.h. I'm posting it as I think it is a correct, though somewhat cosmetic fix.

When calling into the EFI firmware, the parameters need to be passed on the stack. The recent change to use -mregparm=3 breaks x86 EFI support.

This patch fixes up ia64 kexec support for HP rx2620 hardware. It does this by skipping migration of already disabled irqs. This is most likely a problem on other ia64 platforms as well, but I've only been able to reproduce it on one machine so far. The full story is that handle_bad_irq() gets invoked before starting the new kernel without this patch. This seems to happen when fixup_irqs() calls generic_handle_irq() on already migrated (and disabled) irqs. So by avoiding migration of disabled irqs we stay away of handle_bad_irq(). The code has been tested on three different ia64 machines, all with good results. It is possible to trigger the same bug by offlining a processor using echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online.

However, aio_complete() called from I/O interrupt can potentially call put_ioctx with last ref count on ioctx and triggers bug. It is simply incorrect to perform ioctx freeing from aio_complete. The bug is trigger-able from a race between io_destroy() and aio_complete(). A possible scenario: cpu0 cpu1 io_destroy aio_complete wait_for_all_aios { __aio_put_req ... ctx->reqs_active--; if (!ctx->reqs_active) return; } ... put_ioctx(ioctx) put_ioctx(ctx); __put_ioctx bam! Bug trigger! The real problem is that the condition check of ctx->reqs_active in wait_for_all_aios() is incorrect that access to reqs_active is not being properly protected by spin lock. This patch adds that protective spin lock, and at the same time removes all duplicate ref counting for each kiocb as reqs_active is already used as a ref count for each active ioctx. This also ensures that buggy call to flush_workqueue() in softirq context is eliminated.

sd_probe() calls class_device_add() even before initializing the sdkp->device variable. class_device_add() eventually results in the user mode udev program to be called. udev program can read the the allow_restart attribute of the newly created scsi device. This is resulting in a crash as the show function for allow_restart (i.e sd_show_allow_restart) returns the attribute value by reading the sdkp->device->allow_restart variable. As the sdkp->device is not initialized before calling the user mode hotplug helper, this results in a crash. The patch below solves it by calling class_device_add() only after the necessary fields in the scsi_disk structure are initialized properly.

For all JMicrons except for 361 and 368, AHCI mode enable bits in the Control(1) should be set. This used to be done in both ahci and pata_jmicron but while moving programming to PCI quirk, it was removed from ahci part while still left in pata_jmicron. The implemented JMicron PCI quirk was incorrect in that it didn't program AHCI mode enable bits. If pata_jmicron is loaded first and programs those bits, the ahci ports work; otherwise, ahci device detection fails miserably. This patch makes JMicron PCI quirk clear SATA IDE mode bits and set AHCI mode bits and remove the respective part from pata_jmicron. Tested on JMB361, 363 and 368.

This reverts commit e4f0ae0e. It's not wrong, but it's not right either, and everybody seems to agree that the right fix is probably to do the ccr3 write after the ccr4 one (and that we also should clean it up a bit). And after that we need to really validate that all the bits that we write to ccr4 actually do work. The old 2.6.19 code was insane, and basically didn't change ccr4 at all (even though it certainly looks like it was the *intent* to do so). So let's revert the change that may fix things, just because it's not what was actually ever tested when the code was written, even if it _was_ the intent. There's a discussion on http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/9/63 that was started by the patch that now gets reverted, and that discussion may well contain the proper long-term fix.
