If the requested device is already active, ignore the request. This restores the original behaviour of the interface. The change was probably an unintended side effect of commit 66b37c67 vga_switcheroo: split switching into two stages which did not take into account to duplicate the !active check in the split-off stage2. Fix this by factoring that check out of stage1 into the debugfs_write routine.

Introduce a new x86_init hook called pagetable_reserve that at the end of init_memory_mapping is used to reserve a range of memory addresses for the kernel pagetable pages we used and free the other ones. On native it just calls memblock_x86_reserve_range while on xen it also takes care of setting the spare memory previously allocated for kernel pagetable pages from RO to RW, so that it can be used for other purposes. A detailed explanation of the reason why this hook is needed follows. As a consequence of the commit: commit 4b239f45 Author: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Date: Fri Dec 17 16:58:28 2010 -0800 x86-64, mm: Put early page table high at some point init_memory_mapping is going to reach the pagetable pages area and map those pages too (mapping them as normal memory that falls in the range of addresses passed to init_memory_mapping as argument). Some of those pages are already pagetable pages (they are in the range pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_end) therefore they are going to be mapped RO and everything is fine. Some of these pages are not pagetable pages yet (they fall in the range pgt_buf_end-pgt_buf_top; for example the page at pgt_buf_end) so they are going to be mapped RW. When these pages become pagetable pages and are hooked into the pagetable, xen will find that the guest has already a RW mapping of them somewhere and fail the operation. The reason Xen requires pagetables to be RO is that the hypervisor needs to verify that the pagetables are valid before using them. The validation operations are called "pinning" (more details in arch/x86/xen/mmu.c). In order to fix the issue we mark all the pages in the entire range pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_top as RO, however when the pagetable allocation is completed only the range pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_end is reserved by init_memory_mapping. Hence the kernel is going to crash as soon as one of the pages in the range pgt_buf_end-pgt_buf_top is reused (b/c those ranges are RO). For this reason we need a hook to reserve the kernel pagetable pages we used and free the other ones so that they can be reused for other purposes. On native it just means calling memblock_x86_reserve_range, on Xen it also means marking RW the pagetable pages that we allocated before but that haven't been used before. Another way to fix this is without using the hook is by adding a 'if (xen_pv_domain)' in the 'init_memory_mapping' code and calling the Xen counterpart, but that is just nasty.

read/write/ioctl on a fbcon file descriptor has traditionally used the fbcon not when it was opened, but as it was at the time of the call. That makes no sense, but the lack of sense is much more obvious now that we properly ref-count the usage - it means that the ref-counting doesn't actually protect operations we do on the frame buffer. This changes it to look at the fb_info that we got at open time, but in order to avoid using a frame buffer long after it has been unregistered, we do verify that it is still current, and return -ENODEV if not.

This just adds the refcount and the new registration lock logic. It does not (for example) actually change the read/write/ioctl routines to actually use the frame buffer that was opened: those function still end up alway susing whatever the current frame buffer is at the time of the call. Without this, if something holds the frame buffer open over a framebuffer switch, the close() operation after the switch will access a fb_info that has been free'd by the unregistering of the old frame buffer. (The read/write/ioctl operations will normally not cause problems, because they will - illogically - pick up the new fbcon instead. But a switch that happens just as one of those is going on might see problems too, the window is just much smaller: one individual op rather than the whole open-close sequence.) This use-after-free is apparently fairly easily triggered by the Ubuntu 11.04 boot sequence.

GDB's interrupt.exp test cases currenly fail on ARM. The problem is how do_signal handled restarting interrupted system calls: The entry.S assembler code determines that we come from a system call; and that information is passed as "syscall" parameter to do_signal. That routine then calls get_signal_to_deliver [*] and if a signal is to be delivered, calls into handle_signal. If a system call is to be restarted either after the signal handler returns, or if no handler is to be called in the first place, the PC is updated after the get_signal_to_deliver call, either in handle_signal (if we have a handler) or at the end of do_signal (otherwise). Now the problem is that during [*], the call to get_signal_to_deliver, a ptrace intercept may happen. During this intercept, the debugger may change registers, including the PC. This is done by GDB if it wants to execute an "inferior call", i.e. the execution of some code in the debugged program triggered by GDB. To this purpose, GDB will save all registers, allocate a stack frame, set up PC and arguments as appropriate for the call, and point the link register to a dummy breakpoint instruction. Once the process is restarted, it will execute the call and then trap back to the debugger, at which point GDB will restore all registers and continue original execution. This generally works fine. However, now consider what happens when GDB attempts to do exactly that while the process was interrupted during execution of a to-be- restarted system call: do_signal is called with the syscall flag set; it calls get_signal_to_deliver, at which point the debugger takes over and changes the PC to point to a completely different place. Now get_signal_to_deliver returns without a signal to deliver; but now do_signal decides it should be restarting a system call, and decrements the PC by 2 or 4 -- so it now points to 2 or 4 bytes before the function GDB wants to call -- which leads to a subsequent crash. To fix this problem, two things need to be supported: - do_signal must be able to recognize that get_signal_to_deliver changed the PC to a different location, and skip the restart-syscall sequence - once the debugger has restored all registers at the end of the inferior call sequence, do_signal must recognize that *now* it needs to restart the pending system call, even though it was now entered from a breakpoint instead of an actual svc instruction This set of issues is solved on other platforms, usually by one of two mechanisms: - The status information "do_signal is handling a system call that may need restarting" is itself carried in some register that can be accessed via ptrace. This is e.g. on Intel the "orig_eax" register; on Sparc the kernel defines a magic extra bit in the flags register for this purpose. This allows GDB to manage that state: reset it when doing an inferior call, and restore it after the call is finished. - On s390, do_signal transparently handles this problem without requiring GDB interaction, by performing system call restarting in the following way: first, adjust the PC as necessary for restarting the call. Then, call get_signal_to_deliver; and finally just continue execution at the PC. This way, if GDB does not change the PC, everything is as before. If GDB *does* change the PC, execution will simply continue there -- and once GDB restores the PC it saved at that point, it will automatically point to the *restarted* system call. (There is the minor twist how to handle system calls that do *not* need restarting -- do_signal will undo the PC change in this case, after get_signal_to_deliver has returned, and only if ptrace did not change the PC during that call.) Because there does not appear to be any obvious register to carry the syscall-restart information on ARM, we'd either have to introduce a new artificial ptrace register just for that purpose, or else handle the issue transparently like on s390. The patch below implements the second option; using this patch makes the interrupt.exp test cases pass on ARM, with no regression in the GDB test suite otherwise.

The SPARSEMEM code allocates memmap entries only for sections which are present (i.e. those which contain some valid memory). The membank checks in free_unused_memmap do not take this into account and can incorrectly attempt to free memory which is not allocated, resulting in a BUG() in the bootmem code. However, if memory is configured as follows: |<----section---->|<----hole---->|<----section---->| +--------+--------+--------------+--------+--------+ | bank 0 | unused | | bank 1 | unused | +--------+--------+--------------+--------+--------+ where a bank only occupies part of a section, the memmap allocated for the remainder of the section *can* be freed. This patch modifies the checks in free_unused_memmap so that only valid memmap entries are considered for removal.

When we are in the label cc_dword_align, registers %o0 and %o1 have the same last 2 bits, but it's not guaranteed one of them is zero. So we can get unaligned memory access in label ccte. Example of parameters which lead to this: %o0=0x7ff183e9, %o1=0x8e709e7d, %g1=3 With the parameters I had a memory corruption, when the additional 5 bytes were rewritten. This patch corrects the error. One comment to the patch. We don't care about the third bit in %o1, because cc_end_cruft stores word or less.

Testing the shmem_swaplist replacements for igrab() revealed another bug: writes to /dev/loop0 on a tmpfs file which fills its filesystem were sometimes failing with "Buffer I/O error"s. These came from ENOSPC failures of shmem_getpage(), when racing with swapoff: the same could happen when racing with another shmem_getpage(), pulling the page in from swap in between our find_lock_page() and our taking the info->lock (though not in the single-threaded loop case). This is unacceptable, and surprising that I've not noticed it before: it dates back many years, but (presumably) was made a lot easier to reproduce in 2.6.36, which sited a page preallocation in the race window. Fix it by rechecking the page cache before settling on an ENOSPC error.

The use of igrab() in swapoff's shmem_unuse_inode() is just as vulnerable to umount as that in shmem_writepage(). Fix this instance by extending the protection of shmem_swaplist_mutex right across shmem_unuse_inode(): while it's on the list, the inode cannot be evicted (and the filesystem cannot be unmounted) without shmem_evict_inode() taking that mutex to remove it from the list. But since shmem_writepage() might take that mutex, we should avoid making memory allocations or memcg charges while holding it: prepare them at the outer level in shmem_unuse(). When mem_cgroup_cache_charge() was originally placed, we didn't know until that point that the page from swap was actually a shmem page; but nowadays it's noted in the swap_map, so we're safe to charge upfront. For the radix_tree, do as is done in shmem_getpage(): preload upfront, but don't pin to the cpu; so we make a habit of refreshing the node pool, but might dip into GFP_NOWAIT reserves on occasion if subsequently preempted. With the allocation and charge moved out from shmem_unuse_inode(), we can also hold index map and info->lock over from finding the entry.

This igrap-iput pair was added in commit 1b1b32f2 "tmpfs: fix shmem_swaplist races" based on incorrect assumptions: igrab() protects the inode from concurrent eviction by deletion, but it does nothing to protect it from concurrent unmounting, which goes ahead despite the raised i_count. So this use of igrab() was wrong all along, but the race made much worse in 2.6.37 when commit 63997e98 "split invalidate_inodes()" replaced two attempts at invalidate_inodes() by a single evict_inodes(). Konstantin posted a plausible patch, raising sb->s_active too: I'm unsure whether it was correct or not; but burnt once by igrab(), I am sure that we don't want to rely more deeply upon externals here. Fix it by adding the inode to shmem_swaplist earlier, while the page lock on page in page cache still secures the inode against eviction, without artifically raising i_count. It was originally added later because shmem_unuse_inode() is liable to remove an inode from the list while it's unswapped; but we can guard against that by taking spinlock before dropping mutex.

Commit dde79e00 ("page_cgroup: reduce allocation overhead for page_cgroup array for CONFIG_SPARSEMEM") added a regression that the memory cgroup data structures all end up in node 0 because the first attempt at allocating them would not pass in a node hint. Since the initialization runs on CPU #0 it would all end up node 0. This is a problem on large memory systems, where node 0 would lose a lot of memory. Change the alloc_pages_exact() to alloc_pages_exact_nid(). This will still fall back to other nodes if not enough memory is available. [ RED-PEN: right now it would fall back first before trying vmalloc_node. Probably not the best strategy ...

The SNAPSHOT_S2RAM ioctl used for implementing the feature allowing one to suspend to RAM after creating a hibernation image is currently broken, because it doesn't clear the "ready" flag in the struct snapshot_data object handled by it. As a result, the SNAPSHOT_UNFREEZE doesn't work correctly after SNAPSHOT_S2RAM has returned and the user space hibernate task cannot thaw the other processes as appropriate. Make SNAPSHOT_S2RAM clear data->ready to fix this problem. Tested-by: Alexandre Felipe Muller de Souza <alexandrefm@mandriva.com.br> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

A warning is printed by pm_restrict_gfp_mask() while the SNAPSHOT_S2RAM ioctl is being executed after creating a hibernation image, because pm_restrict_gfp_mask() has been called once already before the image creation and suspend_devices_and_enter() calls it once again. This happens after commit 452aa699 (mm/pm: force GFP_NOIO during suspend/hibernation and resume). To avoid this issue, move pm_restrict_gfp_mask() and pm_restore_gfp_mask() from suspend_devices_and_enter() to its caller in kernel/power/suspend.c.
