The timer broadcast code might access HPET, which should not be accessed after the busmaster disable. In acpi_idle_enter_simple() this change also prevents, that we modify the busmaster state without going actually idle. This might leave the ACPI bm state in a stale state, when we leave the function early in the need_resched() check.

The hrtimer problem with large relative timeouts resulting in a negative expiry time went unnoticed as there is no check in the clockevents_program_event() code. Put a check there with a WARN_ONCE to avoid such problems in the future. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Relative hrtimers with a large timeout value might end up as negative timer values, when the current time is added in hrtimer_start(). This in turn is causing the clockevents_set_next() function to set an huge timeout and sleep for quite a long time when we have a clock source which is capable of long sleeps like HPET. With PIT this almost goes unnoticed as the maximum delta is ~27ms. The non-hrt/nohz code sorts this out in the next timer interrupt, so we never noticed that problem which has been there since the first day of hrtimers. This bug became more apparent in 2.6.24 which activates HPET on more hardware. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

radeonfb was HPMC-ing my C8000 by trying to map its expansion rom from IO_VIEW, instead of PA_VIEW. Fix seems to be to ensure that its disabled ROM is properly inserted into the resource tree. FIXME: this will result in a whinging printk for cards which share expansion ROMS, such as a quad tulip. Thankfully, it isn't harmful. Signed-off-by: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca>

The cleanup 09cadedb broke the oprofile configuration for MIPS by allowing oprofile support to be built for kernel models where oprofile doesn't have a chance in hell to work. Just a dependecy list on a number of architectures is - surprise - broken and should as per past discussions probably in most considered to be broken in most cases. So I introduce a dependency for the oprofile configuration on ARCH_SUPPORTS_OPROFILE. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

endianness annotations in networking code had been in place for quite a while; in particular, sin_port and s_addr are annotated as big-endian. Code in ocfs2 had __force casts added apparently to shut the sparse warnings up; of course, these days they only serve to *produce* warnings for no reason whatsoever...

BFS_FILEBLOCKS() expects struct bfs_inode * (on-disk data, with little- endian fields), not struct bfs_inode_info * (in-core stuff, with host- endian ones). It's a macro and fields with the right names are present in bfs_inode_info, so it compiles, but on big-endian host it gives bogus results.

I can't pass memory allocated by kmalloc() to ksize() if it is allocated by SLUB allocator and size is larger than (I guess) PAGE_SIZE / 2. The error of ksize() seems to be that it does not check if the allocation was made by SLUB or the page allocator.

Creating PDEs with refcount 0 and "deleted" flag has problems (see below). Switch to usual scheme: * PDE is created with refcount 1 * every de_get does +1 * every de_put() and remove_proc_entry() do -1 * once refcount reaches 0, PDE is freed. This elegantly fixes at least two following races (both observed) without introducing new locks, without abusing old locks, without spreading lock_kernel(): 1) PDE leak remove_proc_entry de_put ----------------- ------ [refcnt = 1] if (atomic_read(&de->count) == 0) if (atomic_dec_and_test(&de->count)) if (de->deleted) /* also not taken! */ free_proc_entry(de); else de->deleted = 1; [refcount=0, deleted=1] 2) use after free remove_proc_entry de_put ----------------- ------ [refcnt = 1] if (atomic_dec_and_test(&de->count)) if (atomic_read(&de->count) == 0) free_proc_entry(de); /* boom! */ if (de->deleted) free_proc_entry(de); BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 6b6b6b6b printing eip: c10acdda *pdpt = 00000000338f8001 *pde = 0000000000000000 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: af_packet ipv6 cpufreq_ondemand loop serio_raw psmouse k8temp hwmon sr_mod cdrom Pid: 23161, comm: cat Not tainted (2.6.24-rc2-8c086340 #4) EIP: 0060:[<c10acdda>] EFLAGS: 00210097 CPU: 1 EIP is at strnlen+0x6/0x18 EAX: 6b6b6b6b EBX: 6b6b6b6b ECX: 6b6b6b6b EDX: fffffffe ESI: c128fa3b EDI: f380bf34 EBP: ffffffff ESP: f380be44 DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 0033 SS: 0068 Process cat (pid: 23161, ti=f380b000 task=f38f2570 task.ti=f380b000) Stack: c10ac4f0 00000278 c12ce000 f43cd2a8 00000163 00000000 7da86067 00000400 c128fa20 00896b18 f38325a8 c128fe20 ffffffff 00000000 c11f291e 00000400 f75be300 c128fa20 f769c9a0 c10ac779 f380bf34 f7bfee70 c1018e6b f380bf34 Call Trace: [<c10ac4f0>] vsnprintf+0x2ad/0x49b [<c10ac779>] vscnprintf+0x14/0x1f [<c1018e6b>] vprintk+0xc5/0x2f9 [<c10379f1>] handle_fasteoi_irq+0x0/0xab [<c1004f44>] do_IRQ+0x9f/0xb7 [<c117db3b>] preempt_schedule_irq+0x3f/0x5b [<c100264e>] need_resched+0x1f/0x21 [<c10190ba>] printk+0x1b/0x1f [<c107c8ad>] de_put+0x3d/0x50 [<c107c8f8>] proc_delete_inode+0x38/0x41 [<c107c8c0>] proc_delete_inode+0x0/0x41 [<c1066298>] generic_delete_inode+0x5e/0xc6 [<c1065aa9>] iput+0x60/0x62 [<c1063c8e>] d_kill+0x2d/0x46 [<c1063fa9>] dput+0xdc/0xe4 [<c10571a1>] __fput+0xb0/0xcd [<c1054e49>] filp_close+0x48/0x4f [<c1055ee9>] sys_close+0x67/0xa5 [<c10026b6>] sysenter_past_esp+0x5f/0x85 ======================= Code: c9 74 0c f2 ae 74 05 bf 01 00 00 00 4f 89 fa 5f 89 d0 c3 85 c9 57 89 c7 89 d0 74 05 f2 ae 75 01 4f 89 f8 5f c3 89 c1 89 c8 eb 06 <80> 38 00 74 07 40 4a 83 fa ff 75 f4 29 c8 c3 90 90 90 57 83 c9 EIP: [<c10acdda>] strnlen+0x6/0x18 SS:ESP 0068:f380be44 Also, remove broken usage of ->deleted from reiserfs: if sget() succeeds, module is already pinned and remove_proc_entry() can't happen => nobody can mark PDE deleted.

Before we start committing a transaction, we call __journal_clean_checkpoint_list() to cleanup transaction's written-back buffers. If this call happens to remove all of them (and there were already some buffers), __journal_remove_checkpoint() will decide to free the transaction because it isn't (yet) a committing transaction and soon we fail some assertion - the transaction really isn't ready to be freed :). We change the check in __journal_remove_checkpoint() to free only a transaction in T_FINISHED state. The locking there is subtle though (as everywhere in JBD ;(). We use j_list_lock to protect the check and a subsequent call to __journal_drop_transaction() and do the same in the end of journal_commit_transaction() which is the only place where a transaction can get to T_FINISHED state. Probably I'm too paranoid here and such locking is not really necessary - checkpoint lists are processed only from log_do_checkpoint() where a transaction must be already committed to be processed or from __journal_clean_checkpoint_list() where kjournald itself calls it and thus transaction cannot change state either. Better be safe if something changes in future...

The AMD CS5535/CS5536 GPIO has two alternate output modes: AUX-1 and AUX-2. When either AUX is enabled, the cs5535_gpio driver cannot control the output. Some BIOS code for the Geode processor enables AUX-1 for GPIO-1, which configures it as the PC BEEP output. This patch will disable AUX-1 and AUX-2 when the user enables output.

register_sysctl_table() can return NULL sometimes, e.g. when kmalloc() returns NULL or when sysctl check fails. I've also noticed, that many (most?) code in the kernel doesn't check for the return value from register_sysctl_table() and later simply calls the unregister_sysctl_table() with potentially NULL argument. This is unlikely on a common kernel configuration, but in case we're dealing with modules and/or fault-injection support, there's a slight possibility of an OOPS. Changing all the users to check for return code from the registering does not look like a good solution - there are too many code doing this and failure in sysctl tables registration is not a good reason to abort module loading (in most of the cases). So I think, that we can just have this check in unregister_sysctl_table just to avoid accidental OOPS-es (actually, the unregister_sysctl_table() did exactly this, before the start_unregistering() appeared).
