The minor fault path has grown a lot in terms of cycles. In particular the kprobes hook is very costly. Optimize the path to save a couple of cycles. If kprobes is enabled more than 300 cycles can be avoided if kprobes_running() is false. Signed-off-by:

Generic bug implementation for s390. Will increase the value of the console output on BUG() statements since registers r0-r5,r14 will not be clobbered by a printk() call that was previously done before the illegal instruction of BUG() was hit. Also implements an architecture specific WARN_ON(). Output of that could be increased but requires common code change. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds two improvements to the oops output. First it adds an additional line after the PSW which decodes the different fields of it. Second a disassembler is added that decodes the instructions surrounding the faulting PSW. The output of a test oops now looks like this: kernel BUG at init/main.c:419 illegal operation: 0001 [#1] CPU: 0 Not tainted Process swapper (pid: 0, task: 0000000000464968, ksp: 00000000004be000) Krnl PSW : 0700000180000000 00000000000120b6 (rest_init+0x36/0x38) R:0 T:1 IO:1 EX:1 Key:0 M:0 W:0 P:0 AS:0 CC:0 PM:0 EA:3 Krnl GPRS: 0000000000000003 00000000004ba017 0000000000000022 0000000000000001 000000000003a5f6 0000000000000000 00000000004be6a8 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00000000004b8200 0000000000003a50 0000000000008000 0000000000516368 000000000033d008 00000000000120b2 00000000004bdee0 Krnl Code: 00000000000120a6: e3e0f0980024 stg %r14,152(%r15) 00000000000120ac: c0e500014296 brasl %r14,3a5d8 00000000000120b2: a7f40001 brc 15,120b4 >00000000000120b6: 0707 bcr 0,%r7 00000000000120b8: eb7ff0500024 stmg %r7,%r15,80(%r15) 00000000000120be: c0d000195825 larl %r13,33d108 00000000000120c4: a7f13f00 tmll %r15,16128 00000000000120c8: a7840001 brc 8,120ca Call Trace: ([<00000000000120b2>] rest_init+0x32/0x38) [<00000000004be614>] start_kernel+0x37c/0x410 [<0000000000012020>] _ehead+0x20/0x80 Signed-off-by: -

Remove system call glue for sys_clone, sys_fork, sys_vfork, sys_execve, sys_sigreturn, sys_rt_sigreturn and sys_sigaltstack. Call do_execve from kernel_execve directly, move pt_regs to the right place and branch to sysc_return to start the user space program. This removes the last in-kernel system call. Signed-off-by:

We used to unregister ccw devices not directly from the I/O subchannel remove function in order to avoid lifelocks on the css bus semaphore. This semaphore is gone, and there is no reason to not unregister the ccw device directly (it is even better since it is more in keeping with the goal of immediate disconnect). Signed-off-by:

Use a bitmap for indicating which subchannels require evaluation instead of allocating memory for each evaluation request. This approach reduces memory consumption during recovery in case of massive evaluation request occurrence and removes the need for memory allocation failure handling.

The packet driver is assuming (reasonably) that the (undocumented) request.errors is an errno. But it is in fact some mysterious bitfield. When things go wrong we return weird positive numbers to the VFS as pointers and it goes oops. Thanks to William Heimbigner for reporting and diagnosis.

Reply to NETLINK_FIB_LOOKUP messages were misrouted back to kernel, which resulted in infinite recursion and stack overflow. The bug is present in all kernel versions since the feature appeared. The patch also makes some minimal cleanup: 1. Return something consistent (-ENOENT) when fib table is missing 2. Do not crash when queue is empty (does not happen, but yet) 3. Put result of lookup Signed-off-by:

There's a really rare and obscure bug in CFQ, that causes a crash in cfq_dispatch_insert() due to rq == NULL. One example of the resulting oops is seen here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/15/41 Neil correctly diagnosed the situation for how this can happen: if two concurrent requests with the exact same sector number (due to direct IO or aliasing between MD and the raw device access), the alias handling will add the request to the sortlist, but next_rq remains NULL. Read the more complete analysis at: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/25/57 This looks like it requires md to trigger, even though it should potentially be possible to due with O_DIRECT (at least if you edit the kernel and doctor some of the unplug calls). The fix is to move the ->next_rq update to when we add a request to the rbtree. Then we remove the possibility for a request to exist in the rbtree code, but not have ->next_rq correctly updated.

Broken by 4a1728a2 which switched the return semantics of read_mii_word() but didn't fix usage of read_mii_word() to conform to the new semantics. Setting carrier to off based on the NO_CARRIER flag is also incorrect as that flag only triggers on TX failure and therefore isn't correct when no frames are being transmitted. Since there is already a 2*HZ MII carrier check going on, defer to that. Add a TRUST_LINK_STATUS feature flag for adapters where the LINK_STATUS flag is actually correct, and use that rather than the NO_CARRIER flag. Signed-off-by:

Neil Horman authored
The sis900 driver appears to have a bug in which the receive routine passes the skbuff holding the received frame to the network stack before refilling the buffer in the rx ring. If a new skbuff cannot be allocated, the driver simply leaves a hole in the rx ring, which causes the driver to stop receiving frames and become non-recoverable without an rmmod/insmod according to reporters. This patch reverses that order, attempting to allocate a replacement buffer first, and receiving the new frame only if one can be allocated. If no skbuff can be allocated, the current skbuf in the rx ring is recycled, dropping the current frame, but keeping the NIC operational. Signed-off-by:

The following patch fixes a kernel bug in depca_platform_probe(). We don't use a dynamic pointer for pldev->dev.platform_data, so it seems that the correct way to proceed if platform_device_add(pldev) fails is to explicitly set the pldev->dev.platform_data pointer to NULL, before calling the platform_device_put(pldev), or it will be kfree'ed by platform_device_release().
