      [PATCH] signal-race fixes for s390 · 04a73247
      Martin Schwidefsky authored
        Update s30 for the signal race fix
      
      From: Mikael Pettersson <mikpe@csd.uu.se>
      
        The signal-race-fixes patch in 2.6.8-rc2-mm1 appears to be a bit broken on
        s390.
      
        When forcing a SIGSEGV the old code updated "*ka", where ka was a pointer
        to current's k_sigaction for SIGSEGV.  Now "ka_copy" points to a copy of
        that structure, so assigning "*ka_copy" doesn't do what we want.  Instead do
        the assignment via current->...  just like i386 and x86_64 do.
      
        Furthermore, the SA_ONESHOT handling wasn't deleted.  That is now handled
        by generic code in the kernel.

      [PATCH] signal handling race fix · ffe362b0
      Corey Minyard authored
      The problem:
      
        In arch/i386/signal.c, in the do_signal() function, it calls
        get_signal_to_deliver() which returns the signal number to deliver (along
        with siginfo).  get_signal_to_deliver() grabs and releases the lock, so
        the signal handler lock is not held in do_signal().  Then the do_signal()
        calls handle_signal(), which uses the signal number to extract the
        sa_handler, etc.
      
        Since no lock is held, it seems like another thread with the same
        signal handler set can come in and call sigaction(), it can change
        sa_handler between the call to get_signal_to_deliver() and fetching the
        value of sa_handler.  If the sigaction() call set it to SIG_IGN, SIG_DFL,
        or some other fundamental change, that bad things can happen.
      
      The patch:
      
        You have to get the sigaction information that will be delivered while
        holding sighand->siglock in get_signal_to_deliver().
      
        In 2.4, it can be fixed per-arch and requires no change to the
        arch-independent code because the arch fetches the signal with
        dequeue_signal() and does all the checking.
      
      The test app:
      
        The program below has three threads that share signal handlers.  Thread
        1 changes the signal handler for a signal from a handler to SIG_IGN and
        back.  Thread 0 sends signals to thread 3, which just receives them.
        What I believe is happening is that thread 1 changes the signal handler
        in the process of thread 3 receiving the signal, between the time that
        thread 3 fetches the signal info using get_signal_to_deliver() and
        actually delivers the signal with handle_signal().
      
        Although the program is obvously an extreme case, it seems like any
        time you set the handler value of a signal to SIG_IGN or SIG_DFL, you can
        have this happen.  Changing signal attributes might also cause problems,
        although I am not so sure about that.

      [ARM PATCH] 2047/1: disable NWFPE_XP on big endian · 933d1ff5

      Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
      
      Hi,
      
      gcc doesn't understand 80-bit floating point on the ARM currently,
      according to the kernel's Kconfig docs, but it would seem that the
      current extended double emulation code is broken for big endian
      platforms.
      
      So, this patch disables NWFPE_XP on big endian architectures, until
      someone comes round and fixes it.
      
      
      cheers,
      Lennert

      [ARM PATCH] 2046/1: fix nwfpe for double arithmetic on big-endian platforms · 6349ff20
      Lennert Buytenhek authored
      Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
      
      Hi,
      
      I need the patch below (against 2.6.8-rc1-ds1) to make nwfpe properly
      emulate arithmetic with doubles on a big endian ARM platform.
      
      From reading the mailing list archives and from helpful comments I've
      received from people on this list, I gather that this has come up in
      the past, but it appears that Russell King was never really convinced
      as to why this patch is needed.  I think I understand what's going on,
      and will try to explain.
      
      On little endian ARM, the double value 1.0 looks like this when stored
      in memory in FPA word ordering:
      bytes: 0x00 0x00 0xf0 0x3f 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
      u32s:  0x3ff00000 0x00000000
      u64:   0x000000003ff00000
      
      On big endian, it looks like this:
      bytes: 0x3f 0xf0 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
      u32s:  0x3ff00000 0x00000000
      u64:   0x3ff0000000000000
      
      It appears to be this way because once upon a time, somebody decided
      that the sub-words of a double will use native endian word ordering
      within themselves, but the two separate words will always be stored
      with the most significant one first.  God knows why they did it this
      way, but they did.
      
      Anyway.  The key observation is that nwfpe internally stores double
      values in the type 'float64', which is basically just a typedef for
      unsigned long long.  It never accesses 'float64's on the byte level
      by casting pointers around or anything like that, it just uses direct
      u64 arithmetic primitives (add, shift, or, and) for float64
      manipulations and that's it.
      
      So.  For little endian platforms, 1.0 looks like:
      0x00 0x00 0xf0 0x3f 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
      But since nwfpe treats it as a u64, it wants it to look like:
      0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0xf0 0x3f
      So, that's why the current code swaps the words around when getting
      doubles from userspace and putting them back (see fpa11_cpdt.c,
      loadDouble and storeDouble.)
      
      On big endian, 1.0 looks like:
      0x3f 0xf0 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
      Since nwfpe treats it as a u64, it wants it to look like:
      0x3f 0xf0 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
      Hey!  That's exactly the same.  So in this case, it shouldn't be
      swapping the halves around.  However, it currently does that swapping
      unconditionally, and that's why floating point emulation messes up.
      
      This is how I understand things -- hope it makes sense to other people
      too.
      
      
      cheers,
      Lennert

      [PATCH] I2C: rename in0_ref to cpu0_vid · a1edc85c
      Jean Delvare authored
      This patch changes all the i2c chip drivers and documentation to use the
      name "cpu0_vid" instead of "in0_ref". The name "in0_ref" was an error in
      the first place as motherboard manufacturers may fail to follow the chip
      manufacturer's recommendation about which "in" channel to use for VCore
      monitoring.
      
      The new name leaves room for chips able to monitor more than 1 vid
      value, such as the LM93 and, to a lesser extent, the PC87360 family (all
      by National Semiconductor). These chips are typically designed for
      dual-CPU motherboards.
      
      This breaks the interface (obviously) so libsensors has been updated to
      support both names.
