If "p" is NULL then it will cause an oops when we pass it to simple_strtoul(). In this case "p" can not be NULL so I removed the check. I also changed the check a little to make it more explicit that we are testing whether p points to the NUL char. Signed-off-by:

This really isn't the right thing to do, and strictly speaking we should have the BKL depth count in the thread info right next to the preempt count. The two really do go together. However, since that would involve a patch to all architectures, and the BKL is finally going away, it's simply not worth the effort to do the RightThing(tm). Just re-instate the <linux/sched.h> include that we used to get accidentally from the smp_lock.h one. This is all fallout from the same old "BKL: remove extraneous #include <smp_lock.h>" commit.

EEH and pci_dlpar #undef DEBUG, but I think they were added before the ability to control this from Kconfig. It's really annoying to only get some of the debug messages from these files. Leave the lpar.c #undef alone as it produces so much output as to make the kernel unusable. Update the Kconfig text to indicate this particular quirk :) Signed-off-by:

Arnd Bergmann did an automated scripting run to find left-over instances of <linux/smp_lock.h>, and had made it trigger it on the normal BKL use of lock_kernel and unlock_lernel (and apparently release_kernel_lock and reacquire_kernel_lock too, used by the scheduler). That resulted in commit 451a3c24 ("BKL: remove extraneous #include <smp_lock.h>"). However, hardirq.h was the only remaining user of the old 'kernel_locked()' interface, and Arnd's script hadn't checked for that. So depending on your configuration and what header files had been included, you would get errors like "implicit declaration of function 'kernel_locked'" during the build. The right fix is not to just re-instate the smp_lock.h include - it is to just remove 'kernel_locked()' entirely, since the only use was this one special low-level detail. Just make hardirq.h do it directly. In fact this simplifies and clarifies the code, because some trivial analysis makes it clear that hardirq.h only ever used _one_ of the two definitions of kernel_locked(), so we can remove the other one entirely.

We now use load_gs_index() to load gs safely; unfortunately this also changes MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE, which we managed separately. This resulted in confusion and breakage running 32-bit host userspace on a 64-bit kernel. Fix by - saving guest MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE before we we reload the host's gs - doing the host save/load unconditionally, instead of only when in guest long mode Things can be cleaned up further, but this is the minmal fix for now.

The fix from ba773f7c (x86,kgdb: Fix hw breakpoint regression) was not entirely complete. The kgdb_remove_all_hw_break() function also needs to call the hw_break_release_slot() or else a breakpoint can get activated again after the debugger has detached. The kgdb test suite exposes the behavior in the form of either a hang or repetitive failure. The kernel config that exposes the problem contains all of the following: CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS=y CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS_ON_BOOT=y CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS_BOOT_STRING="V1F100" Reported-by:

Making /proc/kallsyms readable only for root by default makes it slightly harder for attackers to write generic kernel exploits by removing one source of knowledge where things are in the kernel. This is the second submit, discussion happened on this on first submit and mostly concerned that this is just one hole of the sieve ... but one of the bigger ones. Changing the permissions of at least System.map and vmlinux is also required to fix the same set, but a packaging issue. Target of this starter patch and follow ups is removing any kind of kernel space address information leak from the kernel. [ Side note: the default of root-only reading is the "safe" value, and it's easy enough to then override at any time after boot. The /proc filesystem allows root to change the permissions with a regular chmod, so you can "revert" this at run-time by simply doing chmod og+r /proc/kallsyms as root if you really want regular users to see the kernel symbols. It does help some tools like "perf" figure them out without any setup, so it may well make sense in some situations. - Linus ] Signed-off-by:Marcus Meissner <meissner@suse.de> Acked-by:

Move the mid-layer's ->queuecommand() invocation from being locked with the host lock to being unlocked to facilitate speeding up the critical path for drivers who don't need this lock taken anyway. The patch below presents a simple SCSI host lock push-down as an equivalent transformation. No locking or other behavior should change with this patch. All existing bugs and locking orders are preserved. Additionally, add one parameter to queuecommand, struct Scsi_Host * and remove one parameter from queuecommand, void (*done)(struct scsi_cmnd *) Scsi_Host* is a convenient pointer that most host drivers need anyway, and 'done' is redundant to struct scsi_cmnd->scsi_done. Minimal code disturbance was attempted with this change. Most drivers needed only two one-line modifications for their host lock push-down. Signed-off-by:

I just loaded 2.6.37-rc2 on my machines, and I noticed that X no longer starts. Running an strace of the X server shows that it's doing this: open("/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:07:00.0/resource0", O_RDWR) = 10 mmap(NULL, 16777216, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, 10, 0) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) This code seems to be asking for a shared read/write mapping of 16MB worth of BAR0 starting at file offset 0, and letting the kernel assign a starting address. Unfortunately, this -EINVAL causes X not to start. Looking into dmesg, there's a complaint like so: process "Xorg" tried to map 0x01000000 bytes at page 0x00000000 on 0000:07:00.0 BAR 0 (start 0x 96000000, size 0x 1000000) ...with the following code in pci_mmap_fits: pci_start = (mmap_api == PCI_MMAP_SYSFS) ? pci_resource_start(pdev, resno) >> PAGE_SHIFT : 0; if (start >= pci_start && start < pci_start + size && start + nr <= pci_start + size) It looks like the logic here is set up such that when the mmap call comes via sysfs, the check in pci_mmap_fits wants vma->vm_pgoff to be between the resource's start and end address, and the end of the vma to be no farther than the end. However, the sysfs PCI resource files always start at offset zero, which means that this test always fails for programs that mmap the sysfs files. Given the comment in the original commit 3b519e4e, I _think_ the old procfs files require that the file offset be equal to the resource's base address when mmapping. I think what we want here is for pci_start to be 0 when mmap_api == PCI_MMAP_PROCFS. The following patch makes that change, after which the Matrox and Mach64 X drivers work again.
