If a processor implementation discern that a processor state component is in its initialized state, it may modify the corresponding bit in the xsave header.xstate_bv as '0'. State in the memory layout setup by 'xsave' will be consistent with the bit values in the header. During signal handling, legacy applications may change the FP/SSE bits in the sigcontext memory layout without touching the FP/SSE header bits in the xsave header. So always set FP/SSE bits in the xsave header while saving the sigcontext state to the user space. During signal return, this will enable the kernel to capture any changes to the FP/SSE bits by the legacy applications which don't touch xsave headers. xsave aware apps can change the xstate_bv in the xsave header aswell as change any contents in the memory layout. xrestor as part of sigreturn will capture all the changes.

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x22453): Section mismatch in reference from the function setup_xstate_init() to the function .init.text:__alloc_bootmem() The function setup_xstate_init() references the function __init __alloc_bootmem(). This is often because setup_xstate_init lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of __alloc_bootmem is wrong.

Impact: "smx" flags showed as "safer" in /proc/cpuinfo The SMX feature flag is the so-called "safer mode"... I had put that in quotes, but that flagged it as a cpuinfo flag name. Remove the quotes to correct the flag name in /proc/cpuinfo. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

We have had a number of cases where <asm/cpufeature.h> (and its predecessors) have diverged substantially from the names list in /proc/cpuinfo. This patch generates the latter from the former. It retains the option for explicitly overriding the strings, but by making that require a separate action it should at least be less likely to happen. It would be good to do a future pass and rename strings that are gratuituously different in the kernel (/proc/cpuinfo is a userspace interface and must remain constant.) Signed-off-by: H.

Impact: bogus error codes (+other?) on x86-64 The rdmsr_safe/wrmsr_safe routines have macros for the handling of the edx:eax arguments. Those macros take a variable number of assembly arguments. This is rather inherently incompatible with using %digit-style escapes in the inline assembly; replace those with %[name]-style escapes. This fixes miscompilation on x86-64, which at the very least caused bogus return values. It is possible that this could also corrupt the return value; I am not sure. Signed-off-by: H.

Have smp_call_function_single() return invalid CPU indicies and return -ENXIO. This function is already executed inside a get_cpu()..put_cpu() which locks out CPU removal, so rather than having the higher layers doing another layer of locking to guard against unplugged CPUs do the test here.

David Witbrodt tracked down (and bisected) a hpet bootup hang on his system to the following problem: a BIOS bug made the hpet device visible as a generic PCI device. If e820 reserved entries happen to be registered first in the resource tree [which v2.6.26 started doing], then the PCI code will reallocate that device's BAR to some other address - breaking timer IRQs and hanging the system. ( Normally hpet devices are hidden by the BIOS from the OS's PCI discovery via chipset magic. Sometimes the hpet is not a PCI device at all. ) Solve this fundamental fragility by making non-PCI platform drivers insert resources into the resource tree even if it overlaps the e820 reserved entry, to keep the resource manager from updating the BAR. Also do these checks for the ioapic and mmconfig addresses, and emit a warning if this happens.

The acer_wmi driver does a DMI scan for quirks, and then sets flags into the "interface" datastructure for some cases. However, the quirks happen real early before "interface" is per se initialized from NULL. The patch below 1) adds a NULL pointer check and 2) (re)runs the quirks at the end, when "interface" has it's final value.

During CPU hot-remove the sysfs directory created by threshold_create_bank(), defined in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce_amd_64.c, has to be removed before its parent directory, created by mce_create_device(), defined in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce_64.c . Moreover, when the CPU in question is hotplugged again, obviously the latter has to be created before the former. At present, the right ordering is not enforced, because all of these operations are carried out by CPU hotplug notifiers which are not appropriately ordered with respect to each other. This leads to serious problems on systems with two or more multicore AMD CPUs, among other things during suspend and hibernation. Fix the problem by placing threshold bank CPU hotplug callbacks in mce_cpu_callback(), so that they are invoked at the right places, if defined. Additionally, use kobject_del() to remove the sysfs directory associated with the kobject created by kobject_create_and_add() in threshold_create_bank(), to prevent the kernel from crashing during CPU hotplug operations on systems with two or more multicore AMD CPUs.

This fixes a problem spotted with zebra, but not sure if it is necessary a kernel problem. With IPV6 when an address is added to an interface, Zebra creates a duplicate RIB entry, one as a connected route, and other as a kernel route. When an address is added to an interface the RTN_NEWADDR message causes Zebra to create a connected route. In IPV4 when an address is added to an interface a RTN_NEWROUTE message is set to user space with the protocol RTPROT_KERNEL. Zebra ignores these messages, because it already has the connected route. The problem is that route created in IPV6 has route protocol == RTPROT_BOOT. Was this a design decision or a bug? This fixes it. Same patch applies to both net-2.6 and stable.

Authenc works in two stages for encryption, it first encrypts and then computes an ICV. The context memory of the request is used by both operations. The problem is that when an asynchronous encryption completes, we will compute the ICV and then reread the context memory of the encryption to get the original request. It just happens that we have a buffer of 16 bytes in front of the request pointer, so ICVs of 16 bytes (such as SHA1) do not trigger the bug. However, any attempt to uses a larger ICV instantly kills the machine when the first asynchronous encryption is completed. This patch fixes this by saving the request pointer before we start the ICV computation. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
