[CPUFREQ] If max_freq got reduced (e.g. by _PPC) a write to sysfs scaling_governor let cpufreq core stuck at low max_freq for ever The previous patch had bugs (locking and refcount). This one could also be related to the latest DELL reports. But they only slip into this if a user prog (e.g. powersave daemon does when AC got (un) plugged due to a scheme change) echos something to /sys/../cpufreq/scaling_governor while the frequencies got limited by BIOS. This one works: Subject: Max freq stucks at low freq if reduced by _PPC and sysfs gov access The problem is reproducable by(if machine is limiting freqs via BIOS): - Unplugging AC -> max freq gets limited - echo ${governor} >/sys/.../cpufreq/scaling_governor (policy->user_data.max gets overridden with policy->max and will never come up again.) This patch exchanged the cpufreq_set_policy call to __cpufreq_set_policy and duplicated it's functionality but did not override user_data.max. The same happens with overridding min/max values. If freqs are limited and you override the min freq value, the max freq global value will also get stuck to the limited freq, even if BIOS allows all freqs again. Last scenario does only happen if BIOS does not reduce the frequency to the lowest value (should never happen, just for correctness...) drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c | 17 +++++++++++++++-- 1 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> Signed-off-by: "Pallipadi, Venkatesh" <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>

Came up through a quick grep for other cases similar to the ftruncate() one in commit 0a489cb3. Also, add a comment, so that people who read the code understand why we do what looks like a no-op. (Again, this won't actually matter to any sane user, since libc will save and restore the register gcc stomps on, but it's still wrong to stomp on it) Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Gcc thinks it owns the incoming argument stack, but that's not true for "asmlinkage" functions, and it corrupts the caller-set-up argument stack when it pushes the third argument onto the stack. Which can result in %ebx getting corrupted in user space. Now, normally nobody sane would ever notice, since libc will save and restore %ebx anyway over the system call, but it's still wrong. I'd much rather have "asmlinkage" tell gcc directly that it doesn't own the stack, but no such attribute exists, so we're stuck with our hacky manual "prevent_tail_call()" macro once more (we've had the same issue before with sys_waitpid() and sys_wait4()). Thanks to Hans-Werner Hilse <hilse@sub.uni-goettingen.de> for reporting the issue and testing the fix. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

In current code, we are re-reading cic->key after dead cic->key check. So, in theory, it may really re-read *after* cfq_exit_queue() seted NULL. To avoid race, we copy it to stack, then use it. With this change, I guess gcc will assign cic->key to a register or stack, and it wouldn't be re-readed.

We weren't using the recommended sequence for putting the CPU into nap mode. When I changed the idle loop, for some reason 7447A cpus started hanging when we put them into nap mode. Changing to the recommended sequence fixes that. The complexity here is that the recommended sequence is a loop that keeps putting the cpu back into nap mode. Clearly we need some way to break out of the loop when an interrupt (external interrupt, decrementer, performance monitor) occurs. Here we use a bit in the thread_info struct to indicate that we need this, and the exception entry code notices this and arranges for the exception to return to the value in the link register, thus breaking out of the loop. We use a new `local_flags' field in the thread_info which we can alter without needing to use an atomic update sequence. The PPC970 has the same recommended sequence, so we do the same thing there too. This also fixes a bug in the kernel stack overflow handling code on 32-bit, since it was causing a value that we needed in a register to get trashed. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

On rmmod path, cfq/as waits to make sure all io-contexts was freed. However, it's using complete(), not wait_for_completion(). I think barrier() is not enough in here.

Hugh Dickins authored
I found that all of 2.4 and 2.6 have been letting mprotect give write permission to a readonly attachment of shared memory, whether or not IPC would give the caller that permission. SUS says "The behaviour of this function [mprotect] is unspecified if the mapping was not established by a call to mmap", but I don't think we can interpret that as allowing it to subvert IPC permissions. I haven't tried 2.2, but the 2.2.26 source looks like it gets it right; and the patch below reproduces that behaviour - mprotect cannot be used to add write permission to a shared memory segment attached readonly. This patch is simple, and I'm sure it's what we should have done in 2.4.0: if you want to go on to switch write permission on and off with mprotect, just don't attach the segment readonly in the first place. However, we could have accumulated apps which attach readonly (even though they would be permitted to attach read/write), and which subsequently use mprotect to switch write permission on and off: it's not unreasonable. I was going to add a second ipcperms check in do_shmat, to check for writable when readonly, and if not writable find_vma and clear VM_MAYWRITE. But security_ipc_permission might do auditing, and it seems wrong to report an attempt for write permission when there has been none. Or we could flag the vma as SHM, note the shmid or shp in vm_private_data, and then get mprotect to check. But the patch below is a lot simpler: I'd rather stick with it, if we can convince ourselves somehow that it'll be safe.

The at91_cf driver got out of sync with certain changes in the PCMCIA layer, notably getting rid of some duplication of data ... causing the version merged to kernel.org to fail compiling. This patch gives the at91_cf platform device a new iomem resource, using it so this new pcmcia scheme works. It also cleans up some whitepsace bugs that have accumulated over time (mostly too-long lines).
