      parisc: KittyHawk LCD fix · 79a04296
      Guy Martin authored 
      K class aka KittyHawk don't have LED support on their LCD. Installing
HP-UX confirmed this. The current led_wq fills the LCD with black
characters each time it runs.

The patch prevents the led_wq workqueue and its proc entry to be
created for KittyHawk machines.

It also increase min_cmd_delay as currently, one character out of two
is lost when a string is sent to the LCD.

      parisc: convert the rest of the irq handlers to simple/percpu · 51890613
      James Bottomley authored 
      The generic conversion eliminates the spurious no_ack and no_end
routines, converts all the cascaded handlers to handle_simple_irq() and
makes iosapic use a modified handle_percpu_irq() to become the same as
the CPU irq's.  This isn't an essential change, but it eliminates the
mask/unmask overhead of handle_level_irq().

      parisc: fix dino/gsc interrupts · d16cd297
      James Bottomley authored 
      The essential problem we're currently having is that dino (and gsc) is a
cascaded CPU interrupt.  Under the old __do_IRQ() handler, our CPU
interrupts basically did an ack followed by an end.  In the new scheme,
we replaced them with level handlers which do a mask, an ack and then an
unmask (but no end).  Instead, with the renaming of end to eoi, we
actually want to call the percpu flow handlers, because they actually
have all the characteristics we want.

This patch does the conversion and gets my C360 booting again.

      do_exit(): make sure that we run with get_fs() == USER_DS · 33dd94ae
      Nelson Elhage authored 
      If a user manages to trigger an oops with fs set to KERNEL_DS, fs is not
otherwise reset before do_exit().  do_exit may later (via mm_release in
fork.c) do a put_user to a user-controlled address, potentially allowing
a user to leverage an oops into a controlled write into kernel memory.

This is only triggerable in the presence of another bug, but this
potentially turns a lot of DoS bugs into privilege escalations, so it's
worth fixing.  I have proof-of-concept code which uses this bug along
with CVE-2010-3849 to write a zero to an arbitrary kernel address, so
I've tested that this is not theoretical.

A more logical place to put this fix might be when we know an oops has
occurred, before we call do_exit(), but that would involve changing
every architecture, in multiple places.

Let's just stick it in do_exit instead.

But it's a false positive.  Both memory_chain.rwsem and ksm_thread_mutex
have an outer lock (mem_hotplug_mutex).  So they cannot deadlock.

Thus, This patch annotate ksm_thread_mutex is not deadlock source.

      vmalloc: eagerly clear ptes on vunmap · 64141da5
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge authored 
      On stock 2.6.37-rc4, running:

  # mount lilith:/export /mnt/lilith
  # find  /mnt/lilith/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 file

crashes the machine fairly quickly under Xen.  Often it results in oops
messages, but the couple of times I tried just now, it just hung quietly
and made Xen print some rude messages:

    (XEN) mm.c:2389:d80 Bad type (saw 7400000000000001 != exp
    3000000000000000) for mfn 1d7058 (pfn 18fa7)
    (XEN) mm.c:964:d80 Attempt to create linear p.t. with write perms
    (XEN) mm.c:2389:d80 Bad type (saw 7400000000000010 != exp
    1000000000000000) for mfn 1d2e04 (pfn 1d1fb)
    (XEN) mm.c:2965:d80 Error while pinning mfn 1d2e04

Which means the domain tried to map a pagetable page RW, which would
allow it to map arbitrary memory, so Xen stopped it.  This is because
vm_unmap_ram() left some pages mapped in the vmalloc area after NFS had
finished with them, and those pages got recycled as pagetable pages
while still having these RW aliases.

Removing those mappings immediately removes the Xen-visible aliases, and
so it has no problem with those pages being reused as pagetable pages.
Deferring the TLB flush doesn't upset Xen because it can flush the TLB
itself as needed to maintain its invariants.

When unmapping a region in the vmalloc space, clear the ptes
immediately.  There's no point in deferring this because there's no
amortization benefit.

The TLBs are left dirty, and they are flushed lazily to amortize the
cost of the IPIs.

This specific motivation for this patch is an oops-causing regression
since 2.6.36 when using NFS under Xen, triggered by the NFS client's use
of vm_map_ram() introduced in 56e4ebf8 ("NFS: readdir with vmapped
pages") .  XFS also uses vm_map_ram() and could cause similar problems.

Update mentions the follow as issue #36:

 "Atomic write transactions to the atomic GPIO High Bank Feature Bit
  registers should only affect the bits selected [...]"

 "after Suspend, an atomic write transaction [...] will clear all
  non-selected bits of the accessed register."

In other words, writing to the high bank for a single GPIO bit will
clear every other GPIO bit (but only sometimes after a suspend).

The workaround described is obvious and simple; do a read-modify-write.
This patch does that, and documents why we're doing it.

      reiserfs: don't acquire lock recursively in reiserfs_acl_chmod · 238af875
      Frederic Weisbecker authored 
      reiserfs_acl_chmod() can be called by reiserfs_set_attr() and then take
the reiserfs lock a second time.  Thereafter it may call journal_begin()
that definitely requires the lock not to be nested in order to release
it before taking the journal mutex because the reiserfs lock depends on
the journal mutex already.

So, aviod nesting the lock in reiserfs_acl_chmod().

      leds: fix up dependencies · 0bae35e1
      Johannes Berg authored 
      It's not useful to build LED triggers when there's no LEDs that can be
triggered by them.  Therefore, fix up the dependencies so that this
cannot happen, and fix a few users that select triggers to depend on
LEDS_CLASS as well (there is also one user that also selects LEDS_CLASS,
which is OK).
