Mark the static struct file_operations in drivers/char as const. Making them const prevents accidental bugs, and moves them to the .rodata section so that they no longer do any false sharing; in addition with the proper debug option they are then protected against corruption..

Fix check for bad address; use macro instead of open-coding two checks. Taken from RHEL4 kernel update. From: Ernie Petrides <petrides@redhat.com> For background, the BAD_ADDR() macro should return TRUE if the address is TASK_SIZE, because that's the lowest address that is *not* valid for user-space mappings. The macro was correct in binfmt_aout.c but was wrong for the "equal to" case in binfmt_elf.c. There were two in-line validations of user-space addresses in binfmt_elf.c, which have been appropriately converted to use the corrected BAD_ADDR() macro in the patch you posted yesterday. Note that the size checks against TASK_SIZE are okay as coded. The additional changes that I propose are below. These are in the error paths for bad ELF entry addresses once load_elf_binary() has already committed to exec'ing the new image (following the tearing down of the task's original address space). The 1st hunk deals with the interp-side of the outer "if". There were two problems here. The printk() should be removed because this path can be triggered at will by a bogus interpreter image created and used by a malicious user. Further, the error code should not be ENOEXEC, because that causes the loop in search_binary_handler() to continue trying other exec handlers (twice, in fact). But it's too late for this to work correctly, because the user address space has already been torn down, and an exec() failure cannot be returned to the user code because the code no longer exists. The only recovery is to force a SIGSEGV, but it's best to terminate the search loop immediately. I somewhat arbitrarily chose EINVAL as a fallback error code, but any error returned by load_elf_interp() will override that (but this value will never be seen by user-space). The 2nd hunk deals with the non-interp-side of the outer "if". There were two problems here as well. The SIGSEGV needs to be forced, because a prior sigaction() syscall might have set the associated disposition to SIG_IGN. And the ENOEXEC should be changed to EINVAL as described above.

It turns out that it is advantageous to leave a small portion of unmapped file backed pages if all of a zone's pages (or almost all pages) are allocated and so the page allocator has to go off-node. This allows recently used file I/O buffers to stay on the node and reduces the times that zone reclaim is invoked if file I/O occurs when we run out of memory in a zone. The problem is that zone reclaim runs too frequently when the page cache is used for file I/O (read write and therefore unmapped pages!) alone and we have almost all pages of the zone allocated. Zone reclaim may remove 32 unmapped pages. File I/O will use these pages for the next read/write requests and the unmapped pages increase. After the zone has filled up again zone reclaim will remove it again after only 32 pages. This cycle is too inefficient and there are potentially too many zone reclaim cycles. With the 1% boundary we may still remove all unmapped pages for file I/O in zone reclaim pass. However. it will take a large number of read and writes to get back to 1% again where we trigger zone reclaim again. The zone reclaim 2.6.16/17 does not show this behavior because we have a 30 second timeout. [akpm@osdl.org: rename the /proc file and the variable] Signed-off-by:

PNP devices can use shared interrupts, so check to see whether we'll need SA_SHIRQ for request_irq(). The builtin PDH UART on the HP rx8640 is an example of an ACPI/PNP device that uses a shareable level-triggered, active-low interrupt. The interrupt can be shared in very large I/O configurations or by artificially lowering IA64_DEF_LAST_DEVICE_VECTOR. Signed-off-by:

ACPI supplies a "shareable" indication, but PNPACPI ignores it. If a PNP device uses a shared interrupt, request_irq() fails because the PNP driver can't tell whether to supply SA_SHIRQ. This patch allows PNP drivers to test (pnp_irq_flags(dev, 0) & IORESOURCE_IRQ_SHAREABLE) Signed-off-by: -

The patch below should fix the deadlock, albeit I suspect it's not the "right" fix; the right fix may well be to move the rx processing in bcm43xx to softirq context. [it's debatable, ipw2200 hit this exact same bug; at some point it's better to bite the bullet and move this to the common layer as my patch below does] Make the nl_table_lock irq-safe; it's taken for read in various netlink functions, including functions that several wireless drivers (ipw2200, bcm43xx) want to call from hardirq context. The deadlock was found by the lock validator. Signed-off-by:

Have a special version of print_symbol() for s390 which clears the most significant bit of addr before calling __print_symbol(). This seems to be better than checking/changing each place in the kernel that saves an instruction pointer. Without this the output would look like: hardirqs last enabled at (30907): [<80018c6a>] 0x80018c6a hardirqs last disabled at (30908): [<8001e48c>] 0x8001e48c softirqs last enabled at (30904): [<8001dc96>] 0x8001dc96 softirqs last disabled at (30897): [<8001dc50>] 0x8001dc50 instead of this: hardirqs last enabled at (19421): [<80018c72>] cpu_idle+0x176/0x1c4 hardirqs last disabled at (19422): [<8001e494>] io_no_vtime+0xa/0x1a softirqs last enabled at (19418): [<8001dc9e>] do_softirq+0xa6/0xe8 softirqs last disabled at (19411): [<8001dc58>] do_softirq+0x60/0xe8 Acked-by:

We're not reay to take a timer interrupt until timekeeping_init() has run. But time_init() will start the time interrupt and if it is called with local interrupts enabled we'll immediately take an interrupt and die. Fix that by running timekeeping_init() prior to time_init(). We don't know _why_ local interrupts got enabled on Jesse Brandeburg's machine. That's a separate as-yet-unsolved problem. THe patch adds a little bit of debugging to detect that. This whole requirement that local interrupts be held off during early boot keeps on biting us. Signed-off-by:
