After commit 464d1a78 aka "[PATCH] i386: Convert i386 PDA code to use %fs" %fs saved during context switch moved from thread_struct to pt_regs and value on thread_struct became unused.

Alternative header duplicates assembly that could be merged in one single macro. Merging this into this macro also allows to directly declare ALTERNATIVE() statements within assembly code. Uses a __stringify() of the feature bits rather than passing a "i" operand. Leave the old %0 operand as-is (set to 0), unused to stay compatible with API.

Stop gcc from generating uninitialised variable warnings after BUG(). The problem is that FRV's call into its gdbstub appears to return (if the function is marked noreturn, then the compiler is under no obligation to pass it a return address, and so GDB won't know where the bug happened). To get around this, we make the do...while wrapper in _debug_bug_trap() an endless loop from which there's no escape.

This patch is preparation for replacing all uses of ".head.text" or ".text.head" in the kernel with macros, so that the section name can later be changed without having to touch a lot of the kernel. Since some linker scripts do more complex things than referencing HEAD_TEXT, we add a HEAD_TEXT_SECTION macro that just contains the actual name. I've defined HEAD_TEXT_SECTION in a new header, include/linux/section-names.h, so that this section name only needs to appear in one place. I anticipate creating similar macro structures for a number of other section names. The long-term goal here is to be able to change the kernel's magic section names to those that are compatible with -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections. This requires renaming all magic sections with names of the form ".text.foo". Signed-off-by: Tim Abbott <tabbott@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The EXTENTS_FL flag should never be set on special files, but if it is, don't bother trying to validate that the extents tree is valid, since only files, directories, and non-fast symlinks will ever have an extent data structure. We perhaps should flag the filesystem as being corrupted if we see a special file (named pipes, device nodes, Unix domain sockets, etc.) with the EXTENTS_FL flag, but e2fsck doesn't currently check this case, so we'll just ignore this for now, since it's harmless. Without this fix, a special device with the extents flag is flagged as an error by the kernel, so it is impossible to access or delete the inode, but e2fsck doesn't see it as a problem, leading to confused/frustrated users.

Commit c7510859 ("PM/Hibernate: Wait for SCSI devices scan to complete during resume") added a call to scsi_complete_async_scans() to software_resume(), so that it waited for the SCSI scanning to complete, but the call was added at a wrong place. Namely, it should have been added after wait_for_device_probe(), which is called only if the image partition hasn't been specified yet. Also, it's reasonable to check if the image partition is present and only wait for the device probing and SCSI scanning to complete if it is not the case. Additionally, since noresume is checked right at the beginning of software_resume() and the function returns immediately if it's set, it doesn't make sense to check it once again later.

Don't try to look at i_file_acl_high unless the INCOMPAT_64BIT feature bit is set. The field is normally zero, but older versions of e2fsck didn't automatically check to make sure of this, so in the spirit of "be liberal in what you accept", don't look at i_file_acl_high unless we are using a 64-bit filesystem.

Theodore Ts'o authored
If the block containing external extended attributes (which is stored in i_file_acl and i_file_acl_high) is larger than the on-disk filesystem, the process which tried to access the extended attributes will endlessly issue kernel printks complaining that "__find_get_block_slow() failed", locking up that CPU until the system is forcibly rebooted. So when we read in the inode, make sure the i_file_acl value is legal, and if not, flag the filesystem as being corrupted. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
