On context switch, we should have no prefetch streams leak from one userspace process to another. This frees up prefetch resources for the next process. Based on patch from Milton Miller.

Maynard informed me that neither the oprofile kernel module nor oprofile userspace has been updated to support that "legacy" oprofile module interface for power8, which is indicated by "ppc64/power8." This results in no samples. The solution is to default to the "timer" type, instead. The raw entry also should be updated, as "ppc64/ibm-compat-v1" indicates to oprofile userspace to use "compatibility events" which are obsolete in ISA 2.07.

When in an active transaction that takes a signal, we need to be careful with the stack. It's possible that the stack has moved back up after the tbegin. The obvious case here is when the tbegin is called inside a function that returns before a tend. In this case, the stack is part of the checkpointed transactional memory state. If we write over this non transactionally or in suspend, we are in trouble because if we get a tm abort, the program counter and stack pointer will be back at the tbegin but our in memory stack won't be valid anymore. To avoid this, when taking a signal in an active transaction, we need to use the stack pointer from the checkpointed state, rather than the speculated state. This ensures that the signal context (written tm suspended) will be written below the stack required for the rollback. The transaction is aborted becuase of the treclaim, so any memory written between the tbegin and the signal will be rolled back anyway. For signals taken in non-TM or suspended mode, we use the normal/non-checkpointed stack pointer. Tested with 64 and 32 bit signals Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v3.9 Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

If we are emulating an instruction inside an active user transaction that touches memory, the kernel can't emulate it as it operates in transactional suspend context. We need to abort these transactions and send them back to userspace for the hardware to rollback. We can service these if the user transaction is in suspend mode, since the kernel will operate in the same suspend context. This adds a check to all alignment faults and to specific instruction emulations (only string instructions for now). If the user process is in an active (non-suspended) transaction, we abort the transaction go back to userspace allowing the HW to roll back the transaction and tell the user of the failure. This also adds new tm abort cause codes to report the reason of the persistent error to the user.

Merge tag 'trace-fixes-v3.10-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: "Two more fixes: The first one was reported by Mauro Carvalho Chehab, where if a poll() is done against a trace buffer for a CPU that has never been online, it will crash the kernel, as buffers are only created when a CPU comes on line, but the trace files are for all possible CPUs. This fix is to check if the buffer was allocated and if not return -EINVAL. That was the simple fix, the real fix is a bit more complex and not for a -rc release. We could have the files created when the CPUs come online. That would require some design changes. The second one was reported by Peter Zijlstra. If the kernel command line has ftrace=nop, it will lock up the system on boot up. This is because the new design for 3.10 has the nop tracer bootstrap the tracing subsystem. When ftrace=<trace> is defined, when a that tracer is registered, it starts the tracing, but uses the nop tracer to clear things out. What happened here was that ftrace=nop caused the registering of nop to start it and use nop before it was initialized. The only thing nop needs to have done to initialize it is to have the tracer point its current_tracer structure member to the nop tracer. Doing that before registering the nop tracer makes everything work." * tag 'trace-fixes-v3.10-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: ring-buffer: Do not poll non allocated cpu buffers tracing: Fix crash when ftrace=nop on the kernel command line

The tracing infrastructure sets up for possible CPUs, but it uses the ring buffer polling, it is possible to call the ring buffer polling code with a CPU that hasn't been allocated. This will cause a kernel oops when it access a ring buffer cpu buffer that is part of the possible cpus but hasn't been allocated yet as the CPU has never been online.

The _XFER stack element size was set too small, 8 bytes, when it needs to be 16 bytes. As _XFER is the last stack element used by these implementations, the 16 byte stores with 'movdqa' corrupt the stack where the value of register %r12 is temporarily stored. As these implementations align the stack pointer to 16 bytes, this corruption did not happen every time. Patch corrects this issue.

do_smart_update_queue() is called when an operation (semop, semctl(SETVAL), semctl(SETALL), ...) modified the array. It must check which of the sleeping tasks can proceed. do_smart_update_queue() missed a few wakeups: - if a sleeping complex op was completed, then all per-semaphore queues must be scanned - not only those that were modified by *sops - if a sleeping simple op proceeded, then the global queue must be scanned again And: - the test for "|sops == NULL) before scanning the global queue is not required: If the global queue is empty, then it doesn't need to be scanned - regardless of the reason for calling do_smart_update_queue() The patch is not optimized, i.e. even completing a wait-for-zero operation causes a rescan. This is done to keep the patch as simple as possible.

gdbserver inserting a breakpoint ends up calling copy_user_page() for a code page. The generic version of which (non-aliasing config) didn't set the PG_arch_1 bit hence update_mmu_cache() didn't sync dcache/icache for corresponding dynamic loader code page - causing garbade to be executed. So now aliasing versions of copy_user_highpage()/clear_page() are made default.

The recent changes overhauling fs/aio.c introduced a bug that results in the kioctx not being freed when outstanding kiocbs are cancelled at exit_aio() time. Specifically, a kiocb that is cancelled has its completion events discarded by batch_complete_aio(), which then fails to wake up the process stuck in free_ioctx(). Fix this by modifying the wait_event() condition in free_ioctx() appropriately. This patch was tested with the cancel operation in the thread based code posted yesterday.

A panic can be caused by simply cat'ing /proc/<pid>/smaps while an application has a VM_PFNMAP range. It happened in-house when a benchmarker was trying to decipher the memory layout of his program. /proc/<pid>/smaps and similar walks through a user page table should not be looking at VM_PFNMAP areas. Certain tests in walk_page_range() (specifically split_huge_page_pmd()) assume that all the mapped PFN's are backed with page structures. And this is not usually true for VM_PFNMAP areas. This can result in panics on kernel page faults when attempting to address those page structures. There are a half dozen callers of walk_page_range() that walk through a task's entire page table (as N. Horiguchi pointed out). So rather than change all of them, this patch changes just walk_page_range() to ignore VM_PFNMAP areas. The logic of hugetlb_vma() is moved back into walk_page_range(), as we want to test any vma in the range. VM_PFNMAP areas are used by: - graphics memory manager gpu/drm/drm_gem.c - global reference unit sgi-gru/grufile.c - sgi special memory char/mspec.c - and probably several out-of-tree modules [akpm@linux-foundation.org: remove now-unused hugetlb_vma() stub] Signed-off-by: Cliff Wickman <cpw@sgi.com> Reviewed-by: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Cc: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@intel.com> Cc: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.cz> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@gmail.com> Cc: "Kirill A.

Last time we found there is lock/unlock bug in ocfs2_file_aio_write, and then we did a thorough search for all lock resources in ocfs2_inode_info, including rw, inode and open lockres and found this bug. My kernel version is 3.0.13, and it is also in the lastest version 3.9. In ocfs2_fiemap, once ocfs2_get_clusters_nocache failed, it should goto out_unlock instead of out, because we need release buffer head, up read alloc sem and unlock inode.

Commit 902c098a ("random: use lockless techniques in the interrupt path") turned IRQ path from being spinlock protected into lockless cmpxchg-retry update. That commit removed r->lock serialization between crediting entropy bits from IRQ context and accounting when extracting entropy on userspace read path, but didn't turn the r->entropy_count reads/updates in account() to use cmpxchg as well. It has been observed, that under certain circumstances this leads to read() on /dev/urandom to return 0 (EOF), as r->entropy_count gets corrupted and becomes negative, which in turn results in propagating 0 all the way from account() to the actual read() call. Convert the accounting code to be the proper lockless counterpart of what has been partially done by 902c098a.
