Non-PAE operation has been deprecated in Xen for a while, and is rarely tested or used. xen-unstable has now officially dropped non-PAE support. Since Xen/pvops' non-PAE support has also been broken for a while, we may as well completely drop it altogether.

There is a race in the COW logic. It contains a shortcut to avoid the COW and reuse the page if we have the sole reference on the page, however it is possible to have two racing do_wp_page()ers with one causing the other to mistakenly believe it is safe to take the shortcut when it is not. This could lead to data corruption. Process 1 and process2 each have a wp pte of the same anon page (ie. one forked the other). The page's mapcount is 2. Then they both attempt to write to it around the same time... proc1 proc2 thr1 proc2 thr2 CPU0 CPU1 CPU3 do_wp_page() do_wp_page() trylock_page() can_share_swap_page() load page mapcount (==2) reuse = 0 pte unlock copy page to new_page pte lock page_remove_rmap(page); trylock_page() can_share_swap_page() load page mapcount (==1) reuse = 1 ptep_set_access_flags (allow W) write private key into page read from page ptep_clear_flush() set_pte_at(pte of new_page) Fix this by moving the page_remove_rmap of the old page after the pte clear and flush. Potentially the entire branch could be moved down here, but in order to stay consistent, I won't (should probably move all the *_mm_counter stuff with one patch).

Commit 89f5b7da ("Reinstate ZERO_PAGE optimization in 'get_user_pages()' and fix XIP") broke vmware, as reported by Jeff Chua: "This broke vmware 6.0.4. Jun 22 14:53:03.845: vmx| NOT_IMPLEMENTED /build/mts/release/bora-93057/bora/vmx/main/vmmonPosix.c:774" and the reason seems to be that there's an old bug in how we handle do FOLL_ANON on VM_SHARED areas in get_user_pages(), but since it only triggered if the whole page table was missing, nobody had apparently hit it before. The recent changes to 'follow_page()' made the FOLL_ANON logic trigger not just for whole missing page tables, but for individual pages as well, and exposed this problem. This fixes it by making the test for when FOLL_ANON is used more careful, and also makes the code easier to read and understand by moving the logic to a separate inline function.

Current memfree FW has a bug which in some cases, assumes that ICM pages passed to it are cleared. This patch uses __GFP_ZERO to allocate all ICM pages passed to the FW.

This patch addresses a very sporadic pi-futex related failure in highly threaded java apps on large SMP systems. David Holmes reported that the pi_state consistency check in lookup_pi_state triggered with his test application. This means that the kernel internal pi_state and the user space futex variable are out of sync. First we assumed that this is a user space data corruption, but deeper investigation revieled that the problem happend because the pi-futex code is not handling a fault in the futex_lock_pi path when the user space variable needs to be fixed up. The fault happens when a fork mapped the anon memory which contains the futex readonly for COW or the page got swapped out exactly between the unlock of the futex and the return of either the new futex owner or the task which was the expected owner but failed to acquire the kernel internal rtmutex. The current futex_lock_pi() code drops out with an inconsistent in case it faults and returns -EFAULT to user space. User space has no way to fixup that state. When we wrote this code we thought that we could not drop the hash bucket lock at this point to handle the fault. After analysing the code again it turned out to be wrong because there are only two tasks involved which might modify the pi_state and the user space variable: - the task which acquired the rtmutex - the pending owner of the pi_state which did not get the rtmutex Both tasks drop into the fixup_pi_state() function before returning to user space. The first task which acquired the hash bucket lock faults in the fixup of the user space variable, drops the spinlock and calls futex_handle_fault() to fault in the page. Now the second task could acquire the hash bucket lock and tries to fixup the user space variable as well. It either faults as well or it succeeds because the first task already faulted the page in. One caveat is to avoid a double fixup. After returning from the fault handling we reacquire the hash bucket lock and check whether the pi_state owner has been modified already.

Christian Borntraeger reported that reinstating cond_resched() with CONFIG_PREEMPT caused a performance regression on lmbench: For example select file 500: 23 microseconds 32 microseconds and that's really because we totally unnecessarily do the cond_resched() in the innermost loop of select(), which is just silly. This moves it out from the innermost loop (which only ever loops ove the bits in a single "unsigned long" anyway), which makes the performance regression go away.

Receiving packets while we are cleaning up a network namespace is a racy proposition. It is possible when the packet arrives that we have removed some but not all of the state we need to fully process it. We have the choice of either playing wack-a-mole with the cleanup routines or simply dropping packets when we don't have a network namespace to handle them. Since the check looks inexpensive in netif_receive_skb let's just drop the incoming packets. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Vast majority of these build failures are gcc-4.3 warnings about static functions and objects being referenced from non-static (read: "extern inline") functions, in conjunction with our -Werror. We cannot just convert "extern inline" to "static inline", as people keep suggesting all the time, because "extern inline" logic is crucial for generic kernel build. So - just make sure that all callees of critical "extern inline" functions are also "extern inline"; - use "static inline", wherever it's possible. traps.c: work around gcc-4.3 being too smart about array bounds-checking. TODO: add "gnu_inline" attribute to all our "extern inline" functions to ensure desired behaviour with future compilers.

With built-in scsi disk driver, the final link fails with a following error: `.exit.text' referenced in section `.rodata' of drivers/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/built-in.o This happens with -Os (CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y) with all gcc-4 versions, and also with -O2 and gcc-4.3. The problem is in sd.c:sd_major() being inlined into __exit function exit_sd(), and the compiler generating a jump table in .rodata section for the 'switch' statement in sd_major(). So we have references to discarded section. Fixed with a big hammer in the form of -fno-jump-tables. Note that jump tables vs. discarded sections is a generic problem, other architectures are just lucky not to suffer from it. But with a slightly more complex switch/case statement it can be reproduced on x86 as well. So maybe at some point we should consider -fno-jump-tables as a generic compile option...

To calculate addresses of locally defined variables, GCC uses 32-bit displacement from the GP. Which doesn't work for per cpu variables in modules, as an offset to the kernel per cpu area is way above 4G. The workaround is to force allocation of a GOT entry for per cpu variable using ldq instruction with a 'literal' relocation. I had to use custom asm/percpu.h, as a required argument magic doesn't work with asm-generic/percpu.h macros.
