32bit and also the numaq code have special requirements on the ioapic_id setup. Convert it to a x86_init_ops function and get rid of the quirks and #ifdefs Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

The x86 quirkification introduced an extra ugly hackery with a variable pointer in the mpparse code. If the pointer is initialized then it is dereferenced and the variable set to 0 or incremented. Create a x86_init_ops function and let the affected numaq code hold the function. Default init is a setup noop. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

memory_setup is overridden by x86_quirks and by paravirts with weak functions and quirks. Unify the whole mess and make it an unconditional x86_init_ops function which defaults to the standard function and can be overridden by the early platform code.

The 32bit and the 64bit code are slighty different in the reservation of standard resources. Also the upcoming Moorestown support needs its own version of that. Add it to x86_init_ops and initialize it with the 64bit default. 32bit overrides it in early boot. Now moorestown can add it's own override w/o sprinkling the code with more #ifdefs Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

The upcoming Moorestown support brings the embedded world to x86. The setup code of x86 has already a couple of hooks which are either x86_quirks or paravirt ops. Some of those setup hooks are pretty convoluted like the timer setup and the tsc calibration code. But there are other places which could do with a cleanup. Instead of having inline functions/macros which are modified at compile time I decided to introduce x86_init ops which are unconditional in the code and make it clear that they can be changed either during compile time or in the early boot process. The function pointers are initialized by default functions which can be noops so that the pointer can be called unconditionally in the most cases. This also allows us to remove 32bit/64bit, paravirt and other #ifdeffery. paravirt guests are just a hardware platform in the setup code, so we should treat them as such and not hide all behind multiple layers of indirection and compile time dependencies. It's more obvious that x86_init.timers.timer_init() is a function pointer than the late_time_init = choose_time_init() obscurity. It's also way simpler to grep for x86_init.timers.timer_init and find all the places which modify that function pointer instead of analyzing weak functions, macros and paravirt indirections. Note. This is not a general paravirt_ops replacement. It just will move setup related hooks which are potentially useful for other platform setup purposes as well out of the paravirt domain. Add the base infrastructure without any functionality. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Thomas Gleixner authored
Some architectures initialize clocks and timers in late_time_init and x86 wants to do the same to avoid FIXMAP hackery for calibrating the TSC. That would result in undefined sched_clock readout and wreckaged printk timestamps again. We probably have those already on archs which do all their time/clock setup in late_time_init. There is no harm to move that after late_time_init except that a few more boot timestamps are stale. The scheduler is not active at that point so no real wreckage is expected.

When setting the same GPIO number, multiple IRQ shared requests will be done without freing the previous request. It will also try to free a failed request or an already freed IRQ if 0 was written to the gpio file. All these oops and leaks were fixed with the following solution: keep the previous allocated GPIO (if any) still allocated in case the new request fails. The alternative solution would desallocate the previous allocated GPIO and set gpio as 0. Signed-off-by: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo <cascardo@holoscopio.com> Signed-off-by: Samuel R. C.

If the BIOS reports an invalid throttling state (which seems to be fairly common after system boot), a reset is done to state T0. Because of a check in acpi_processor_get_throttling_ptc(), the reset never actually gets executed, which results in the error reoccurring on every access of for example /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling. Add a 'force' option to acpi_processor_set_throttling() to ensure the reset really takes effect. Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13389 This patch, together with the next one, fixes a regression introduced in 2.6.30, listed on the regression list. They have been available for 2.5 months now in bugzilla, but have not been picked up, despite various reminders and without any reason given. Google shows that numerous people are hitting this issue. The issue is in itself relatively minor, but the bug in the code is clear. The patches have been in all my kernels and today testing has shown that throttling works correctly with the patches applied when the system overheats (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13918#c14).

The return value of the get_temp function is not checked when doing a thermal zone update. This may lead to a critical shutdown if get_temp fails and the content of the temp variable is incorrectly set higher than the critical trip point. This has been observed on a system with incorrect ACPI implementation where the corresponding methods were not serialized and therefore sometimes triggered ACPI errors (AE_ALREADY_EXISTS). The following critical shutdowns indicated a temperature of 2097 C, which was obviously wrong. The patch adds a return value check that jumps over all trip point evaluations printing a warning if get_temp fails. The trip points are evaluated again on the next polling interval with successful get_temp execution.

Spotted by Hiroshi Shimamoto who also provided the test-case below. copy_process() uses signal->count as a reference counter, but it is not. This test case #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/wait.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <errno.h> #include <pthread.h> void *null_thread(void *p) { for (;;) sleep(1); return NULL; } void *exec_thread(void *p) { execl("/bin/true", "/bin/true", NULL); return null_thread(p); } int main(int argc, char **argv) { for (;;) { pid_t pid; int ret, status; pid = fork(); if (pid < 0) break; if (!pid) { pthread_t tid; pthread_create(&tid, NULL, exec_thread, NULL); for (;;) pthread_create(&tid, NULL, null_thread, NULL); } do { ret = waitpid(pid, &status, 0); } while (ret == -1 && errno == EINTR); } return 0; } quickly creates an unkillable task. If copy_process(CLONE_THREAD) races with de_thread() copy_signal()->atomic(signal->count) breaks the signal->notify_count logic, and the execing thread can hang forever in kernel space. Change copy_process() to increment count/live only when we know for sure we can't fail. In this case the forked thread will take care of its reference to signal correctly. If copy_process() fails, check CLONE_THREAD flag. If it it set - do nothing, the counters were not changed and current belongs to the same thread group. If it is not set, ->signal must be released in any case (and ->count must be == 1), the forked child is the only thread in the thread group. We need more cleanups here, in particular signal->count should not be used by de_thread/__exit_signal at all. This patch only fixes the bug.

An mlocked page might lose the isolatation race. This causes the page to clear PG_mlocked while it remains in a VM_LOCKED vma. This means it can be put onto the [in]active list. We can rescue it by using try_to_unmap() in shrink_page_list(). But now, As Wu Fengguang pointed out, vmscan has a bug. If the page has PG_referenced, it can't reach try_to_unmap() in shrink_page_list() but is put into the active list. If the page is referenced repeatedly, it can remain on the [in]active list without being moving to the unevictable list. This patch fixes it.

It's problematic to allow signed element_nr's or total's to be passed as part of the flex array API. flex_array_alloc() allows total_nr_elements to be set to a negative quantity, which is obviously erroneous. flex_array_get() and flex_array_put() allows negative array indices in dereferencing an array part, which could address memory mapped before struct flex_array. The fix is to convert all existing element_nr formals to be qualified as unsigned. Existing checks to compare it to total_nr_elements or the max array size based on element_size need not be changed.

If all array elements fit into the base structure and data is copied using flex_array_put() starting at a non-zero index, flex_array_get() will fail to return the data. This fixes the bug by only checking for NULL parts when all elements do not fit in the base structure when flex_array_get() is used. Otherwise, fa_element_to_part_nr() will always be 0 since there are no parts structures needed and such element may never have been put. Thus, it will remain NULL due to the kzalloc() of the base. Additionally, flex_array_put() now only checks for a NULL part when all elements do not fit in the base structure. This is otherwise unnecessary since the base structure is guaranteed to exist (or we would have already hit a NULL pointer).
