I found that virt_addr_valid() was returning true for fixmap addresses. I'm not sure whether pfn_valid() is supposed to include this test, but there's no harm in being explicit.

Impact: fix race+crash in mmiotrace The list manipulation in remove_kmmio_fault_pages() was broken. If more than one consecutive kmmio_fault_page was re-added during the grace period between unregister_kmmio_probe() and remove_kmmio_fault_pages(), the list manipulation failed to remove pages from the release list. After a second grace period the pages get into rcu_free_kmmio_fault_pages() and raise a BUG_ON() kernel crash. The list manipulation is fixed to properly remove pages from the release list. This bug has been present from the very beginning of mmiotrace in the mainline kernel. It was introduced in 0fd0e3da ("x86: mmiotrace full patch, preview 1"); An urgent fix for Linus. Tested by Stuart (on 32-bit) and Pekka (on amd and intel 64-bit systems, nouveau and nvidia proprietary).

This is a build fix required after "x86-64: seccomp: fix 32/64 syscall hole" (commit 5b101740). MIPS doesn't have the issue that was fixed for x86-64 by that patch. This also doesn't solve the N32 issue which is that N32 seccomp processes will be treated as non-compat processes thus only have access to N64 syscalls.

Wang Chen authored
Impact: improve out-of-range fixmap index debugging Commit "1b42f516" defined the __this_fixmap_does_not_exist() function with a WARN_ON(1) in it. This causes the linker to not report an error when __this_fixmap_does_not_exist() is called with a non-constant parameter. Ingo defined __this_fixmap_does_not_exist() because he wanted to get virt addresses of fix memory of nest level by non-constant index. But we can fix this and still keep the link-time check: We can get the four slot virt addresses on link time and store them to array slot_virt[]. Then we can then refer the slot_virt with non-constant index, in the ioremap-leak detection code.

Impact: cleanup and code size reduction on 64-bit This code is only applied to Intel Pentium and AMD K7 32-bit cpus. Move those checks to intel_init()/amd_init() for 32-bit so 64-bit will not build this code. Also change to use cpu_index check to see if we need to emit warning.

Cliff Wickman authored
In uv_flush_tlb_others() (arch/x86/kernel/tlb_uv.c), the "WARN_ON(!in_atomic())" fails if CONFIG_PREEMPT is not enabled. And CONFIG_PREEMPT is not enabled by default in the distribution that most UV owners will use. We could #ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT the warning, but that is not good form. And there seems to be no suitable fix to in_atomic() when CONFIG_PREMPT is not on. As Ingo commented: > and we have no proper primitive to test for atomicity. (mainly > because we dont know about atomicity on a non-preempt kernel) So we drop the WARN_ON.

Impact: fix deadlock and allow atomic free Percpu allocation always uses GFP_KERNEL and whole alloc/free paths were protected by single mutex. All percpu allocations have been from GFP_KERNEL-safe context and the original allocator had this assumption too. However, by protecting both alloc and free paths with the same mutex, the new allocator creates free -> alloc -> GFP_KERNEL dependency which the original allocator didn't have. This can lead to deadlock if free is called from FS or IO paths. Also, in general, allocators are expected to allow free to be called from atomic context. This patch implements finer grained locking to break the deadlock and allow atomic free. For details, please read the "Synchronization rules" comment. While at it, also add CONTEXT: to function comments to describe which context they expect to be called from and what they do to it.

Impact: code reorganization for later changes Separate out chunk area map extension into a separate function - pcpu_extend_area_map() - and call it directly from pcpu_alloc() such that pcpu_alloc_area() is guaranteed to have enough area map slots on invocation. With this change, pcpu_alloc_area() does only area allocation and the only failure mode is when the chunk doens't have enough room, so there's no need to distinguish it from memory allocation failures. Make it return -1 on such cases instead of hacky -ENOSPC. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

In case a ptraced task is reaped (while the tracer is still attached), ds_exit_thread() is called before ptrace_exit(). The latter will release the bts_tracer and remove the thread's ds_ctx. The former will WARN() if the context is not NULL. Oleg Nesterov submitted patches that move ptrace_exit() before exit_thread() and thus reverse the order of the above calls. Remove the bad warning. I will add it again when Oleg's changes are in.
