Commit 916f676f started reserving boot service code since some systems require you to keep that code around until SetVirtualAddressMap is called. However, in some cases those areas will overlap with reserved regions. The proper medium-term fix is to fix the bootloader to prevent the conflicts from occurring by moving the kernel to a better position, but the kernel should check for this possibility, and only reserve regions which can be reserved.

Hugh Dickins points out that lockdep (correctly) spots a potential deadlock on the anon_vma lock, because we now do a GFP_KERNEL allocation of anon_vma_chain while doing anon_vma_clone(). The problem is that page reclaim will want to take the anon_vma lock of any anonymous pages that it will try to reclaim. So re-organize the code in anon_vma_clone() slightly: first do just a GFP_NOWAIT allocation, which will usually work fine. But if that fails, let's just drop the lock and re-do the allocation, now with GFP_KERNEL. End result: not only do we avoid the locking problem, this also ends up getting better concurrency in case the allocation does need to block. Tim Chen reports that with all these anon_vma locking tweaks, we're now almost back up to the spinlock performance.

This matches the anon_vma_clone() case, and uses the same lock helper functions. Because of the need to potentially release the anon_vma's, it's a bit more complex, though. We traverse the 'vma->anon_vma_chain' in two phases: the first loop gets the anon_vma lock (with the helper function that only takes the lock once for the whole loop), and removes any entries that don't need any more processing. The second phase just traverses the remaining list entries (without holding the anon_vma lock), and does any actual freeing of the anon_vma's that is required.

Linus Torvalds authored
In anon_vma_clone() we traverse the vma->anon_vma_chain of the source vma, locking the anon_vma for each entry. But they are all going to have the same root entry, which means that we're locking and unlocking the same lock over and over again. Which is expensive in locked operations, but can get _really_ expensive when that root entry sees any kind of lock contention. In fact, Tim Chen reports a big performance regression due to this: when we switched to use a mutex instead of a spinlock, the contention case gets much worse. So to alleviate this all, this commit creates a small helper function (lock_anon_vma_root()) that can be used to take the lock just once rather than taking and releasing it over and over again. We still have the same "take the lock and release" it behavior in the exit path (in unlink_anon_vmas()), but that one is a bit harder to fix since we're actually freeing the anon_vma entries as we go, and that will touch the lock too.

____call_usermodehelper() now erases any credentials set by the subprocess_inf::init() function. The problem is that commit 17f60a7d ("capabilites: allow the application of capability limits to usermode helpers") creates and commits new credentials with prepare_kernel_cred() after the call to the init() function. This wipes all keyrings after umh_keys_init() is called. The best way to deal with this is to put the init() call just prior to the commit_creds() call, and pass the cred pointer to init(). That means that umh_keys_init() and suchlike can modify the credentials _before_ they are published and potentially in use by the rest of the system. This prevents request_key() from working as it is prevented from passing the session keyring it set up with the authorisation token to /sbin/request-key, and so the latter can't assume the authority to instantiate the key. This causes the in-kernel DNS resolver to fail with ENOKEY unconditionally.

The default bits per word setting should be 8 bits, but since most of our devices have been explicitly setting this up, we didn't notice when the default stopped working. At the moment, any default transfers without an explicit bit size setting error out with: bfin-spi bfin-spi.0: transfer: unsupported bits_per_word So in the transfer logic, have a bits_per_word setting of 0 fall into the 8 bit transfer logic.

Before this patch if we failed the vid transition would still try to submit the "new" frequencies to cpufreq. That is incorrect - also we could submit a non-existing frequency value which would cause cpufreq to crash. The ultimate fix is in cpufreq to deal with incorrect values, but this patch improves the error recovery in the AMD powernowk8 driver. The failure that was reported was as follows: powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3700+ (1 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00) powernow-k8: fid 0x2 (1000 MHz), vid 0x12 powernow-k8: fid 0xa (1800 MHz), vid 0xa powernow-k8: fid 0xc (2000 MHz), vid 0x8 powernow-k8: fid 0xe (2200 MHz), vid 0x8 Marking TSC unstable due to cpufreq changes powernow-k8: fid trans failed, fid 0x2, curr 0x0 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff880807e07b78 IP: [<ffffffff81479163>] cpufreq_stats_update+0x46/0x5b ... And transition fails and data->currfid ends up with 0. Since the machine does not support 800Mhz value when the calculation is done ('find_khz_freq_from_fid(data->currfid);') it reports the new frequency as 800000 which is bogus. This patch fixes the issue during target setting. The patch however does not fix the issue in 'powernowk8_cpu_init' where the pol->cur can also be set with the 800000 value: pol->cur = find_khz_freq_from_fid(data->currfid); dprintk("policy current frequency %d kHz\n", pol->cur); /* min/max the cpu is capable of */ if (cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo(pol, data->powernow_table)) { The fix for that looks to update cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo to check pol->cur.... but that would cause an regression in how the acpi-cpufreq driver works (it sets cpu->cur after calling cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo). Instead the fix will be to let cpufreq gracefully handle bogus data (another patch).

If the driver submitted an non-existing pol>cur value (say it used the default initialized value of zero), when the cpufreq stats tries to setup its initial values it incorrectly sets stat->last_index to -1 (or 0xfffff...). And cpufreq_stats_update tries to update at that index location and fails. This can be caused by: stat->last_index = freq_table_get_index(stat, policy->cur); not finding the appropiate frequency in the table (b/c the policy->cur is wrong) and we end up crashing. The fix however is concentrated in the 'cpufreq_stats_update' as the last_index (and old_index) are updated there. Which means it can reset the last_index to -1 again and on the next iteration cause a crash. Without this patch, the following crash is observed: powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3700+ (1 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00) powernow-k8: fid 0x2 (1000 MHz), vid 0x12 powernow-k8: fid 0xa (1800 MHz), vid 0xa powernow-k8: fid 0xc (2000 MHz), vid 0x8 powernow-k8: fid 0xe (2200 MHz), vid 0x8 Marking TSC unstable due to cpufreq changes powernow-k8: fid trans failed, fid 0x2, curr 0x0 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff880807e07b78 IP: [<ffffffff81479163>] cpufreq_stats_update+0x46/0x5b .. snip..
