Two fix regressions introduced in 2.6.39 and one fixes a prefetch bug that only affects PA7300LC processors.

| * [PARISC] fix panic on prefetch(NULL) on PA7300LCJames Bottomley2012-05-161-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to an errata, the PA7300LC generates a TLB miss interruption even on the prefetch instruction. This means that prefetch(NULL), which is supposed to be a nop on linux actually generates a NULL deref fault. Fix this by testing the address of prefetch against NULL before doing the prefetch.

| * [PARISC] fix crash in flush_icache_page_asm on PA1.1John David Anglin2012-05-161-18/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As pointed out by serveral people, PA1.1 only has a type 26 instruction meaning that the space register must be explicitly encoded. Not giving an explicit space means that the compiler uses the type 24 version which is PA2.0 only resulting in an illegal instruction crash. This regression was caused by commit f311847c2fcebd81912e2f0caf8a461dec28db41 Author: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com> Date: Wed Dec 22 10:22:11 2010 -0600 parisc: flush pages through tmpalias space Reported-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: John David Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org #2.6.39+ Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <JBottomley@Parallels.com>

GNU ld-2.22.52.0.[12] (*) has an unfortunate bug where it incorrectly turns certain relocation entries absolute. Section-relative symbols that are part of otherwise empty sections are silently changed them to absolute. We rely on section-relative symbols staying section-relative, and actually have several sections in the linker script solely for this purpose. See for example http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14052 We could just black-list the buggy linker, but it appears that it got shipped in at least F17, and possibly other distros too, so it's sadly not some rare unusual case. This backports the workaround from the x86/trampoline branch, and as Peter says: "This is not a minimal fix, not at all, but it is a tested code base." * 'x86/ld-fix' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86, relocs: When printing an error, say relative or absolute x86, relocs: Workaround for binutils 2.22.52.0.1 section bug x86, realmode: 16-bit real-mode code support for relocs tool (*) That's a manly release numbering system.

This option causes the generation of 16-bit segment relocations and 32-bit linear relocations for the real-mode code. When the real-mode code is moved to the low-memory during kernel initialization, these relocation entries can be used to relocate the code properly. In the assembly code 16-bit segment relocations must be relative to the 'real_mode_seg' absolute symbol. Linear relocations must be relative to a symbol prefixed with 'pa_'. 16-bit segment relocation is used to load cs:ip in 16-bit code. Linear relocations are used in the 32-bit code for relocatable data references. They are declared in the linker script of the real-mode code. The relocs tool is moved to arch/x86/tools/relocs.c, and added new target archscripts that can be used to build scripts needed building an architecture. be compiled before building the arch/x86 tree.

Then, when dd reads the block device, it leads to block_read_full_page being called with buffers that are beyond end of disk, but are marked as mapped. Thus, it would end up submitting read I/O against them, resulting in the errors mentioned above. I fixed the problem by modifying init_page_buffers to only set the buffer mapped if it fell inside of i_size.

The first trace of each flurry implicates __mem_cgroup_cancel_charge() of mc.precharge, and an audit of mc.precharge handling points to mem_cgroup_move_charge_pte_range()'s THP handling in commit 12724850e806 ("memcg: avoid THP split in task migration"). Checking !mc.precharge is good everywhere else, when a single page is to be charged; but here the "mc.precharge -= HPAGE_PMD_NR" likely to follow, is liable to result in underflow (a lot can change since the precharge was estimated). Simply check against HPAGE_PMD_NR: there's probably a better alternative, trying precharge for more, splitting if unsuccessful; but this one-liner is safer for now - no kernel/res_counter.c:96 warnings seen in 26 hours.

This breaks dumb string comparisons on these table lines in generic userspace device-mapper library code and leads to tables being reloaded repeatedly when nothing is actually meant to be changing. This patch corrects this by no longer changing the table line when discard passdown was disabled. We can still tell when discard passdown is overridden by looking for the message "Discard unsupported by data device (sdX): Disabling discard passdown." This automatic detection is also moved from the 'load' to the 'resume' so that it is re-evaluated should the properties of underlying devices change.

The original symptom was that passing (uid_t)-1 to setreuid() was failing in programs linked -pthread because of the "setxid" mechanism for passing setxid-type function arguments to the syscall code. SYSCALL_WRAPPERS handles ensuring that all syscall arguments end up with proper sign-extension and is thus the appropriate fix for this problem. On other platforms (s390, powerpc, sparc64, and mips) this was fixed in 2.6.28.6. The general issue is tracked as CVE-2009-0029.

Otherwise we'll end up with stale i_mode information if an fd is re-used while the dentry still hangs around. Not that anything really *cares* (symlink permissions don't really matter), but Tetsuo Handa noticed that the owner read/write bits don't always match the state of the readability of the file descriptor, and we _used_ to get this right a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Besides, aside from fixing an ugly detail (that has apparently been this way since commit 61a28784028e: "proc: Remove the hard coded inode numbers" in 2006), this removes more lines of code than it adds. And it just makes sense to update i_mode in the same place we update i_uid/gid. Al Viro correctly points out that we could just do the inode fill in the inode iops ->getattr() function instead. However, that does require somewhat slightly more invasive changes, and adds yet *another* lookup of the file descriptor. We need to do the revalidate() for other reasons anyway, and have the file descriptor handy, so we might as well fill in the information at this point.

Reflushing and disabling VFP on the sigreturn path is predicated on the saved thread state indicating that VFP was used by the handler -- however for SMP platforms this is only set on context-switch, making the check unreliable and causing VFP register corruption in userspace since the register values are not necessarily those restored from the sigframe. This patch unconditionally flushes the VFP state after a signal handler. Since we already perform the flush before the handler and the flushing itself happens lazily, the redundant flush when VFP is not used by the handler is essentially a nop.

This is checked for in alloc_init_section(). With LPAE, we set a bit to mask access flag faults for kernel mappings. This breaks the aforementioned (!prot_sect) check in alloc_init_section(). This patch fixes this bug by first checking for a non-zero prot_sect before setting the PMD_SECT_AF flag.

Unfortunately, the vfp_init late initcall does not disable preemption and can lead to an oops during boot if thread migration occurs at the wrong time and we end up attempting to access the FPSID on a CPU with VFP access disabled. This patch fixes the initcall to call vfp_enable from a non-preemptible context on each CPU and adds a BUG_ON(preemptible) to ensure that any similar problems are easily spotted in the future.

Miller: 1) Thanks to Willy Tarreau and Eric Dumazet, we've unlocked a bug that's been present in do_tcp_sendpages() since that function was written in 2002. When we block to wait for memory we have to unconditionally try and push out pending TCP data, otherwise we can block for an unreasonably long amount of time. 2) Fix deadlock in e1000, fixes kernel bugzilla 43132 From Tushar Dave. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: e1000: Prevent reset task killing itself. tcp: do_tcp_sendpages() must try to push data out on oom conditions

Latest changes (net: netdev_alloc_skb() use build_skb()) made the problem even more apparent. The reason seems to be that if do_tcp_sendpages() fails on out of memory condition without being able to send at least one byte, tcp_push() is not called and the buffers cannot be flushed. After applying the attached patch, I cannot reproduce the stalls at all and the data rate it perfectly stable and steady under any condition which previously caused the problem to be permanent. The issue seems to have been there since before the kernel migrated to git, which makes me think that the stalls I occasionally experienced with tux during stress-tests years ago were probably related to the same issue. This issue was first encountered on 3.0.31 and 3.2.17, so please backport to -stable. Signed-off-by: Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org>

First off, if ACPI_STATE_D3 (equal to ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD) is passed to __acpi_bus_set_power() and the explicit_set flag is set for the D3cold state, the function will try to execute AML method called "_PS4", which doesn't exist. Fix this by adding a check to ensure that the name of the AML method to execute for transitions to ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD is correct in __acpi_bus_set_power(). Also make sure that the explicit_set flag for ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD will be set if _PS3 is present and modify acpi_power_transition() to avoid accessing power resources for ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD, because they don't exist. Second, if PCI_D3hot is passed to acpi_pci_set_power_state() as the target state, the function will request a transition to ACPI_STATE_D3_HOT instead of ACPI_STATE_D3. However, ACPI_STATE_D3_HOT is now only marked as supported if the _PR3 AML method is defined for the given device, which is rare. This causes problems to happen on systems where devices were successfully put into ACPI D3 by pci_set_power_state(PCI_D3hot) which doesn't work now. In particular, some unused graphics adapters are not turned off as a result. To fix this issue restore the old behavior of acpi_pci_set_power_state(), which is to request a transition to ACPI_STATE_D3 (equal to ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD) if either PCI_D3hot or PCI_D3cold is passed to it as the argument. This approach is not ideal, because generally power should not be removed from devices if PCI_D3hot is the target power state, but since this behavior is relied on, we have no choice but to restore it at the moment and spend more time on designing a better solution in the future.

The second patch is to address a bug with FILEIO backends where the incorrect number of blocks for READ_CAPACITY was being reported after an underlying device-mapper block_device size change. This patch uses now i_size_read() in fd_get_blocks() for FILEIO backends with an underlying block_device, instead of trying to determine this value at setup time during fd_create_virtdevice().

As a result, the error message "NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08" sometimes occurs during boot of a KVM guest when the network service is started and we are oom: ... Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ] Bringing up interface eth0: Determining IP information for eth0...NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08 done. [ OK ] ... Further, receive queue processing might get delayed indefinitely until some interrupt triggers: virtio_net expected napi to be run immediately. One way to cause do_softirq to be executed is by invoking local_bh_enable(). As __napi_schedule is normally called from bh or irq context, this seems to make sense: disable bh before __napi_schedule and enable afterwards. In fact it's a very complicated way of calling do_softirq(), and works since this function is only used when we are not in interrupt context. It's not hot at all, in any ideal scenario.
