When page alloc debugging is not enabled, we essentially accept any virtual address for linear kernel TLB misses. But with kgdb, kernel address probing, and other facilities we can try to access arbitrary crap. So, make sure the address we miss on will translate to physical memory that actually exists. In order to make this work we have to embed the valid address bitmap into the kernel image. And in order to make that less expensive we make an adjustment, in that the max physical memory address is decreased to "1 << 41", even on the chips that support a 42-bit physical address space. We can do this because bit 41 indicates "I/O space" and thus covers non-memory ranges. The result of this is that: 1) kpte_linear_bitmap shrinks from 2K to 1K in size 2) we need 64K more for the valid address bitmap We can't let the valid address bitmap be dynamically allocated once we start using it to validate TLB misses, otherwise we have crazy issues to deal with wrt. recursive TLB misses and such. If we're in a TLB miss it could be the deepest trap level that's legal inside of the cpu. So if we TLB miss referencing the bitmap, the cpu will be out of trap levels and enter RED state. To guard against out-of-range accesses to the bitmap, we have to check to make sure no bits in the physical address above bit 40 are set. We could export and use last_valid_pfn for this check, but that's just an unnecessary extra memory reference. On the plus side of all this, since we load all of these translations into the special 4MB mapping TSB, and we check the TSB first for TLB misses, there should be absolutely no real cost for these new checks in the TLB miss path.

Normally, srmmu uses different trap table register values to allow determination of the cpu we're on. All of the trap tables have identical content, they just sit at different offsets from the first trap table, and the offset shifted down and masked out determines the cpu we are on. The code tries to free them up when they aren't actually used (don't have all 4 cpus, we're on sun4d, etc.) but that causes problems. For one thing it triggers false positives in the DMA debugging code. And fixing that up while preserving this relative offset thing isn't trivial. So just kill the freeing code, it costs us at most 3 pages, big deal... Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

I think arch/sparc/kernel/sys32.S has an incorrect splice definition: SIGN2(sys32_splice, sys_splice, %o0, %o1) The splice() prototype looks like : long splice(int fd_in, loff_t *off_in, int fd_out, loff_t *off_out, size_t len, unsigned int flags); So I think we should have : SIGN2(sys32_splice, sys_splice, %o0, %o2) Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca> Signed-off-by: David S.

If kthread_run() fails or never gets to run we'll have NULL or a pointer encoded error in kenvctrld_task, rather than a legitimate task pointer.

Kjetil Oftedal mentioned that piggyback_32 was failing when building a sparc image. I tracked this down to the fact that the kernel no longer provided an absolute symbol named "end". Commit 86ed40bd ("sparc: unify sections.h") renamed end to _end but failed to update piggyback_32.

Even though one cannot make use of the audit watch code without CONFIG_AUDIT_SYSCALL the spaghetti nature of the audit code means that the audit rule filtering requires that it at least be compiled. Thus build the audit_watch code when we build auditfilter like it was before cfcad62c Clearly this is a point of potential future cleanup..

* 'futexes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: futex: Fix the write access fault problem for real
-
Thomas Gleixner authored
commit 64d1304a (futex: setup writeable mapping for futex ops which modify user space data) did address only half of the problem of write access faults. The patch was made on two wrong assumptions: 1) access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE,...) would actually check write access. On x86 it does _NOT_. It's a pure address range check. 2) a RW mapped region can not go away under us. That's wrong as well. Nobody can prevent another thread to call mprotect(PROT_READ) on that region where the futex resides. If that call hits between the get_user_pages_fast() verification and the actual write access in the atomic region we are toast again. The solution is to not rely on access_ok and get_user() for any write access related fault on private and shared futexes. Instead we need to fault it in with verification of write access. There is no generic non destructive write mechanism which would fault the user page in trough a #PF, but as we already know that we will fault we can as well call get_user_pages() directly and avoid the #PF overhead. If get_user_pages() returns -EFAULT we know that we can not fix it anymore and need to bail out to user space. Remove a bunch of confusing comments on this issue as well.

Traditionally, we never failed small orders (even regardless of any __GFP_NOFAIL flags), and slab will allocate order-1 allocations even for small allocations that could fit in a single page (in order to avoid excessive fragmentation). Maybe we should remove this warning entirely, but before making that judgement, at least limit it to bigger allocations.

The existing code had the following race: Thread-1 Thread-2 inc/read in_use inc/read in_use inc tx_free_list[qos].len inc tx_free_list[qos].len The actual in_use value was incremented twice, but thread-1 is going to free memory based on its stale value, and will free one too many times. The result is that memory is freed back to the kernel while its packet is still in the transmit buffer. If the memory is overwritten before it is transmitted, the hardware will put a valid checksum on it and send it out (just like it does with good packets). If by chance the TCP flags are clobbered but not the addresses or ports, the result can be a broken TCP stream. The fix is to track the number of freed packets in a single location (a Fetch-and-Add Unit register). That way it can never get out of sync with itself. We try to free up to MAX_SKB_TO_FREE (currently 10) buffers at a time. If fewer are available we adjust the free count with the difference. The action of claiming buffers to free is atomic so two threads cannot claim the same buffers. Signed-off-by: David Daney <ddaney@caviumnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

Each platform has to add support for CPU hotplugging itself by providing suitable definitions for the cpu_disable and cpu_die of the smp_ops methods and setting SYS_SUPPORTS_HOTPLUG_CPU. A platform should only set SYS_SUPPORTS_HOTPLUG_CPU once all it's smp_ops definitions have the necessary changes. This patch contains the changes to the dummy smp_ops definition for uni-processor systems. Parts of the code contributed by Cavium Inc. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

We can't perform any flushes on SMP from swsusp_arch_resume because interrupts are disabled. A cross-CPU flush is unnecessary anyway because all but the local CPU have already been disabled.
