struct utsname is copied from master one without any exclusion. Here is sample output from one proggie doing sethostname("aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"); sethostname("bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb"); and another clone(,, CLONE_NEWUTS, ...) uname() hostname = 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbb' hostname = 'bbbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa' hostname = 'aaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb' hostname = 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbb' hostname = 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabb' hostname = 'aaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb' hostname = 'bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbaaaaaaaaaaaaaa' Hostname is sometimes corrupted. Yes, even _the_ simplest namespace activity had bug in it. :-( Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@sw.ru> Acked-by: Serge Hallyn <serue@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Commit 83144186 (Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default) breaks freezing when attempting to resume from an initrd, because the init (which is freezeable) spins while waiting for another thread to run /linuxrc, but doesn't check whether it has been told to enter the refrigerator. The original patch replaced a call to try_to_freeze() with a call to yield(). I believe a simple reversion is wrong because if !CONFIG_PM_SLEEP, try_to_freeze() is a noop. It should still yield.

I found a type mismatch in UML that makes host block devices unusable as ubd devices on x86_64 and other 64 bits systems (segfault of the mm subsystem): In block/ioctl.c, the following lines show that the BLKGETSIZE ioctl expects a pointer to a long: case BLKGETSIZE: if ((bdev->bd_inode->i_size >> 9) > ~0UL) return -EFBIG; return put_ulong(arg, bdev->bd_inode->i_size >> 9); In arch/um/os-Linux/file.c, os_file_size calls it with an int. The ioctl_list man page should be fixed as well.

Revert new 2.6.23 CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED Kconfig option because it would create a legacy we don't want to support. CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED was added to try to fix an issue that is now moot with the addition of the netlink ACPI event report interface to the ACPI core. Now that ACPI core can send events over netlink, we can use a different strategy to keep backwards compatibility with older userspace, without the need for the CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED games. And it arrived before CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED made it to a stable mainline kernel, even, which is Good. This patch is in sync with some changes to thinkpad-acpi backports, that will keep things sane for userspace across different combinations of kernel versions, thinkpad-acpi backports (or the lack thereof), and userspace capabilities: Unless a module parameter is used, thinkpad-acpi will now behave in such a way that it will work well (by default) with userspace that still uses only the old ACPI procfs event interface and doesn't care for thinkpad-acpi input devices. It will also always work well with userspace that has been updated to use both the thinkpad-acpi input devices, and ACPI core netlink event interface, regardless of any module parameter. The module parameter was added to allow thinkpad-acpi to work with userspace that has been partially updated to use thinkpad-acpi input devices, but not the new ACPI core netlink event interface. To use this mode of hot key reporting, one has to specify the hotkey_report_mode=2 module parameter. The thinkpad-acpi driver exports the value of hotkey_report_mode through sysfs, as well. thinkpad-acpi backports to older kernels, that do not support the new ACPI core netlink interface, have code to allow userspace to switch hotkey_report_mode at runtime through sysfs. This capability will not be provided in mainline thinkpad-acpi as it is not needed there. Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Cc: Michael S.

This patch adds an optimised version of skb_cow that avoids the copy if the header can be modified even if the rest of the payload is cloned. This can be used in encapsulating paths where we only need to modify the header. As it is, this can be used in PPPOE and bridging.

The function __pppoe_xmit modifies the skb data and therefore it needs to copy and skb data if it's cloned. In fact, it currently allocates a new skb so that it can return 0 in case of error without freeing the original skb. This is totally wrong because returning zero is meant to indicate congestion whereupon pppoe is supposed to wake up the upper layer once the congestion subsides. This makes sense for ppp_async and ppp_sync but is out-of-place for pppoe. This patch makes it always return 1 and free the skb.

Since the sctp_sockaddr_entry is now RCU enabled as part of the patch to synchronize sctp_localaddr_list, it makes sense to change all handling of these entries to RCU. This includes the sctp_bind_addrs structure and it's list of bound addresses. This list is currently protected by an external rw_lock and that looks like an overkill. There are only 2 writers to the list: bind()/bindx() calls, and BH processing of ASCONF-ACK chunks. These are already seriealized via the socket lock, so they will not step on each other. These are also relatively rare, so we should be good with RCU. The readers are varied and they are easily converted to RCU. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com> Acked-by: Paul E.

When NR_CPUS is smaller than the cpu probed, let the user know that the cpu won't be used. Suggested by Al Viro. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

David S. Miller authored
As noted by Al Viro, when we try to call prom_set_trap_table() in the SMP trampoline code we try to take the PROM call spinlock which doesn't work because the current thread pointer isn't valid yet and lockdep depends upon that being correct. Furthermore, we cannot set the current thread pointer register because it can't be properly dereferenced until we return from prom_set_trap_table(). Kernel TLB misses only work after that call. So do the PROM call to set the trap table directly instead of going through the OBP library C code, and thus avoid the lock altogether. These calls are guarenteed to be serialized fully. Since there are now no calls to the prom_set_trap_table{_sun4v}() library functions, they can be deleted. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Taking a cpu offline removes the cpu from the online mask before the CPU_DEAD notification is done. The clock events layer does the cleanup of the dead CPU from the CPU_DEAD notifier chain. tick_do_timer_cpu is used to avoid xtime lock contention by assigning the task of jiffies xtime updates to one CPU. If a CPU is taken offline, then this assignment becomes stale. This went unnoticed because most of the time the offline CPU went dead before the online CPU reached __cpu_die(), where the CPU_DEAD state is checked. In the case that the offline CPU did not reach the DEAD state before we reach __cpu_die(), the code in there goes to sleep for 100ms. Due to the stale time update assignment, the system is stuck forever. Take the assignment away when a cpu is not longer in the cpu_online_mask. We do this in the last call to tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() when the offline CPU is on the way to the final play_dead() idle entry. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

When a cpu goes offline it is removed from the broadcast masks. If the mask becomes empty the code shuts down the broadcast device. This is wrong, because the broadcast device needs to be ready for the online cpu going idle (into a c-state, which stops the local apic timer). Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

The jinxed VAIO refuses to resume without hitting keys on the keyboard when this is not enforced. It is unclear why the cpu ends up in a lower C State without notifying the clock events layer, but enforcing the oneshot broadcast here is safe. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Timekeeping resume adjusts xtime by adding the slept time in seconds and resets the reference value of the clock source (clock->cycle_last). clock->cycle last is used to calculate the delta between the last xtime update and the readout of the clock source in __get_nsec_offset(). xtime plus the offset is the current time. The resume code ignores the delta which had already elapsed between the last xtime update and the actual time of suspend. If the suspend time is short, then we can see time going backwards on resume. Suspend: offs_s = clock->read() - clock->cycle_last; now = xtime + offs_s; timekeeping_suspend_time = read_rtc(); Resume: sleep_time = read_rtc() - timekeeping_suspend_time; xtime.tv_sec += sleep_time; clock->cycle_last = clock->read(); offs_r = clock->read() - clock->cycle_last; now = xtime + offs_r; if sleep_time_seconds == 0 and offs_r < offs_s, then time goes backwards. Fix this by storing the offset from the last xtime update and add it to xtime during resume, when we reset clock->cycle_last: sleep_time = read_rtc() - timekeeping_suspend_time; xtime.tv_sec += sleep_time; xtime += offs_s; /* Fixup xtime offset at suspend time */ clock->cycle_last = clock->read(); offs_r = clock->read() - clock->cycle_last; now = xtime + offs_r; Thanks to Marcelo for tracking this down on the OLPC and providing the necessary details to analyze the root cause.
