This patch fixes a potentially invalid access to a per-CPU variable in rcu_process_callbacks(). This per-CPU access needs to be done in such a way as to guarantee that the code using it cannot move to some other CPU before all uses of the value accessed have completed. Even though this code is currently only invoked from softirq context, which currrently cannot migrate to some other CPU, life would be better if this code did not silently make such an assumption.

This fixes a oops encountered when doing hibernate/resume in presence of PREEMPT_RCU. The problem was that the code failed to disable preemption when accessing a per-CPU variable. This is OK when called from code that already has preemption disabled, but such is not the case from the suspend/resume code path.

The 2.6.25 ptrace_bts_config structure in asm-x86/ptrace-abi.h is defined with u32 types: #include <asm/types.h> /* configuration/status structure used in PTRACE_BTS_CONFIG and PTRACE_BTS_STATUS commands. */ struct ptrace_bts_config { /* requested or actual size of BTS buffer in bytes */ u32 size; /* bitmask of below flags */ u32 flags; /* buffer overflow signal */ u32 signal; /* actual size of bts_struct in bytes */ u32 bts_size; }; #endif But u32 is only accessible in asm-x86/types.h if __KERNEL__, leading to compile errors when ptrace.h is included from user-space. The double-underscore versions that are exported to user-space in asm-x86/types.h should be used instead. Signed-off-by: Dave Anderson <anderson@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

revert the BTS ptrace extension for now. based on general objections from Roland McGrath: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/21/323 we'll let the BTS functionality cook some more and re-enable it in v2.6.26. We'll leave the dead code around to help the development of this code. (X86_BTS is not defined at the moment) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

avoid over-eager large page splitup. When the target area needs to be split or is split already (ioremap) then the current code enforces the split of large mappings in the alias regions even if we could avoid it. Use a separate variable processed in the cpa_data structure to carry the number of pages which have been processed instead of reusing the numpages variable. This keeps numpages intact and gives the alias code a chance to keep large mappings intact. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Priit Laes discovered that the sed command processing nm output was sensitive to locale settings. This was addressed in commit 03994f01 by using [:alnum:] in place of [a-zA-Z0-9]. But that solution too is locale-dependent and may not always match the identifiers it needs to. The better fix is just to run sed et al with a fixed locale setting in all builds.

I recently stumbled upon a problem in the support for huge pages. If a program using huge pages does not explicitly unmap them, they remain mapped (and therefore, are lost) after the program exits. I observed that the free huge page count in /proc/meminfo decreased when running my program, and it did not increase after the program exited. After running the program a few times, no more huge pages could be allocated. The reason for this seems to be that the x86 pmd_bad and pud_bad consider pmd/pud entries having the PSE bit set invalid. I think there is nothing wrong with this bit being set, it just indicates that the lowest level of translation has been reached. This bit has to be (and is) checked after the basic validity of the entry has been checked, like in this fragment from follow_page() in mm/memory.c: if (pmd_none(*pmd) || unlikely(pmd_bad(*pmd))) goto no_page_table; if (pmd_huge(*pmd)) { BUG_ON(flags & FOLL_GET); page = follow_huge_pmd(mm, address, pmd, flags & FOLL_WRITE); goto out; } Note that this code currently doesn't work as intended if the pmd refers to a huge page, the pmd_huge() check can not be reached if the page is huge. Extending pmd_bad() (and, for future 1GB page support, pud_bad()) to allow for the PSE bit being set fixes this. For similar reasons, allowing the NX bit being set is necessary, too. I have seen huge pages having the NX bit set in their pmd entry, which would cause the same problem. Signed-Off-By: Hans Rosenfeld <hans.rosenfeld@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Fix a kernel bug (vmware boot problem) reported by Tomasz Grobelny, which occurs with certain .config variants and gccs. The x86 TLS cleanup in commit efd1ca52 made the sys_set_thread_area and sys_get_thread_area functions ripe for tail call optimization. If the compiler chooses to use it for them, it can clobber the user trap frame because these are asmlinkage functions.

The PREEMPT-RCU can get stuck if a CPU goes idle and NO_HZ is set. The idle CPU will not progress the RCU through its grace period and a synchronize_rcu my get stuck. Without this patch I have a box that will not boot when PREEMPT_RCU and NO_HZ are set. That same box boots fine with this patch.
