The Microblaze implementations of get_user() and (MMU) put_user() evaluate the address argument more than once. This causes unexpected side-effects for invocations that include increment operators, i.e. get_user(foo, bar++). This patch also removes the distinction between MMU and noMMU put_user().

This reverts commit 977d17bb, because it can cause problems with some devices not getting any resources at all when the resource tree is re-allocated. For an example of this, see https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15960 (originally https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=4982) (lkml thread: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/4/19/20) where Peter Henriksson reported his Xonar DX sound card gone, because the IO port region was no longer allocated.

cachefiles_determine_cache_security() is expected to return with a security override in place. However, if set_create_files_as() fails, we fail to do this. In this case, we should just reinstate the security override that was set by the caller. Furthermore, if set_create_files_as() fails, we should dispose of the new credentials we were in the process of creating.

If there are no active threasd using a semaphore, it is always correct to unqueue blocked threads. This seems to be what was intended in the undo code. What was done instead, was to look for a sem count of zero - this is an impossible situation, given that at least one thread is known to be queued on the semaphore. The code might be correct as written, but it's hard to reason about and it's not what was intended (otherwise the goto out would have been unconditional). Go for checking the active count - the alternative is not worth the headache.

As of git commit 1844c9bc head64.S/head31.S are not included in head.S anymore but build as an extra object. This breaks shared kernel support because the .org statement in head64.S/head31.S for CONFIG_SHARED_KERNEL=y will have a different effect. The end address of the head.text section in head.o will be added to the .org value, to compensate for this subtract 0x11000 to get the required value of 0x100000 again.

Stefan Weinhuber authored
The various dasd_sleep_on functions use a global wait queue when waiting for a cqr. The wait condition checks the status and devlist fields of the cqr to determine if it is safe to continue. This evaluation may return true, although the tasklet has not finished processing of the cqr and the callback function has not been called yet. When the callback is finally called, the data in the cqr may already be invalid. The sleep_on wait condition needs a safe way to determine if the tasklet has finished processing. Use the callback_data field of the cqr to store a token, which is set by the callback function itself.

Paul Mackerras authored
Anton Blanchard found that large POWER systems would occasionally crash in the exception exit path when profiling with perf_events. The symptom was that an interrupt would occur late in the exit path when the MSR[RI] (recoverable interrupt) bit was clear. Interrupts should be hard-disabled at this point but they were enabled. Because the interrupt was not recoverable the system panicked. The reason is that the exception exit path was calling perf_event_do_pending after hard-disabling interrupts, and perf_event_do_pending will re-enable interrupts. The simplest and cleanest fix for this is to use the same mechanism that 32-bit powerpc does, namely to cause a self-IPI by setting the decrementer to 1. This means we can remove the tests in the exception exit path and raw_local_irq_restore. This also makes sure that the call to perf_event_do_pending from timer_interrupt() happens within irq_enter/irq_exit. (Note that calling perf_event_do_pending from timer_interrupt does not mean that there is a possible 1/HZ latency; setting the decrementer to 1 ensures that the timer interrupt will happen immediately, i.e. within one timebase tick, which is a few nanoseconds or 10s of nanoseconds.)

If the tcp connection drops and we reconnect to reestablish a stateful session (with the mds), we need to resend previously sent (and possibly received) messages with the _same_ seq # so that they can be dropped on the other end if needed. Only assign a new seq once after the message is queued. Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net>

The iterate_session_caps helper traverses the session caps list and tries to grab an inode reference. However, the __ceph_remove_cap was clearing the inode backpointer _before_ removing itself from the session list, causing a null pointer dereference. Clear cap->ci under protection of s_cap_lock to avoid the race, and to tightly couple the list and backpointer state. Use a local flag to indicate whether we are releasing the cap, as cap->session may be modified by a racing thread in iterate_session_caps. Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net>

In case of aborting because we reach the maximum amount of memory which can be allocated to message queues per user (RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE), we would try to free the message area twice when bailing out: first by the error handling code itself, and then later when cleaning up the inode through delete_inode().

Some callers (in memcontrol.c) calls css_is_ancestor() without rcu_read_lock. Because css_is_ancestor() has to access RCU protected data, it should be under rcu_read_lock(). This makes css_is_ancestor() itself does safe access to RCU protected area. (At least, "root" can have refcnt==0 if it's not an ancestor of "child". So, we need rcu_read_lock().)

Commit ad4ba375 ("memcg: css_id() must be called under rcu_read_lock()") modifies memcontol.c for fixing RCU check message. But Andrew Morton pointed out that the fix doesn't seems sane and it was just for hidining lockdep messages. This is a patch for do proper things. Checking again, all places, accessing without rcu_read_lock, that commit fixies was intentional.... all callers of css_id() has reference count on it. So, it's not necessary to be under rcu_read_lock(). Considering again, we can use rcu_dereference_check for css_id(). We know css->id is valid if css->refcnt > 0. (css->id never changes and freed after css->refcnt going to be 0.) This patch makes use of rcu_dereference_check() in css_id/depth and remove unnecessary rcu-read-lock added by the commit.

Currently page_address_in_vma() compares vma->anon_vma and page_anon_vma(page) for parameter check, but in 2.6.34 a vma can have multiple anon_vmas with anon_vma_chain, so current check does not work. (For anonymous page shared by multiple processes, some verified (page,vma) pairs return -EFAULT wrongly.) We can go to checking all anon_vmas in the "same_vma" chain, but it needs to meet lock requirement. Instead, we can remove anon_vma check safely because page_address_in_vma() assumes that page and vma are already checked to belong to the identical process.

Ordinarily, application using hugetlbfs will create mappings with reserves. For shared mappings, these pages are reserved before mmap() returns success and for private mappings, the caller process is guaranteed and a child process that cannot get the pages gets killed with sigbus. An application that uses MAP_NORESERVE gets no reservations and mmap() will always succeed at the risk the page will not be available at fault time. This might be used for example on very large sparse mappings where the developer is confident the necessary huge pages exist to satisfy all faults even though the whole mapping cannot be backed by huge pages. Unfortunately, if an allocation does fail, VM_FAULT_OOM is returned to the fault handler which proceeds to trigger the OOM-killer. This is unhelpful. Even without hugetlbfs mounted, a user using mmap() can trivially trigger the OOM-killer because VM_FAULT_OOM is returned (will provide example program if desired - it's a whopping 24 lines long). It could be considered a DOS available to an unprivileged user. This patch alters hugetlbfs to kill a process that uses MAP_NORESERVE where huge pages were not available with SIGBUS instead of triggering the OOM killer. This change affects hugetlb_cow() as well. I feel there is a failure case in there, but I didn't create one. It would need a fairly specific target in terms of the faulting application and the hugepage pool size. The hugetlb_no_page() path is much easier to hit but both might as well be closed.

Originally, commit d899bf7b ("procfs: provide stack information for threads") attempted to introduce a new feature for showing where the threadstack was located and how many pages are being utilized by the stack. Commit c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage on NOMMU") was applied to fix the NO_MMU case. Commit 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on 64-bit") was applied to fix a bug in ia32 executables being loaded. Commit 9ebd4eba ("procfs: fix /proc/<pid>/stat stack pointer for kernel threads") was applied to fix a bug which had kernel threads printing a userland stack address. Commit 1306d603 ('proc: partially revert "procfs: provide stack information for threads"') was then applied to revert the stack pages being used to solve a significant performance regression. This patch nearly undoes the effect of all these patches. The reason for reverting these is it provides an unusable value in field 28. For x86_64, a fork will result in the task->stack_start value being updated to the current user top of stack and not the stack start address. This unpredictability of the stack_start value makes it worthless. That includes the intended use of showing how much stack space a thread has. Other architectures will get different values. As an example, ia64 gets 0. The do_fork() and copy_process() functions appear to treat the stack_start and stack_size parameters as architecture specific. I only partially reverted c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage on NOMMU") . If I had completely reverted it, I would have had to change mm/Makefile only build pagewalk.o when CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR is configured. Since I could not test the builds without significant effort, I decided to not change mm/Makefile. I only partially reverted 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on 64-bit") . I left the KSTK_ESP() change in place as that seemed worthwhile.
