diff-ms-tty-lockup-20060302

Patch from mainstream, prepared by Pavel:

A lockup can occur in tty driver: receive_chars() is calld with port.lock held and calls via file.work.func this:

fluch_to_ldisc
n_tty_receive_chars
uart_flush_chars
uart_start,

which tries to lock port again...

This is a part from http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/cset@1.1938.356.2.

And a lost hunk from diff-ms-tty-lockup-20050207 patch taken from mainstream also.

The first patch goes in mainstream before the second, so that's why we've dropped hunk from the 2nd...

Bug #59907.

diff-ve-ipv6-comp-20060302

Patch from Kirill:

Backported from 2.6.15 patch which allows to enable IPv6 in host system. Requested in OpenVZ.

diff-ve-devbase-cleanup-20060302

Patch from Pavel:

Rename visible_dev_base into dev_base.

Remove visible_dev_tail and prepare_netdev.

Removing visible_ prefix from dev_base and dev_tail makes driver updates easier.

Bug #59613.

diff-fairsched-tune-sysctl-20060302

Patch from Kirill (dev@), fixed by Pavel:

This patch fixes VCPU affinity check in schedule_vcpu() and adds some sysctls to tune vsched VCPU affinity and PCPU<->VCPU affinity.

diff-ve-inkernel-compilation

Patch from Alexander:
This patch fixes compilation with CONFIG_MODULES=n

OpenVZ Bug #52.

diff-ms-early-intel-workarounds

Patch from mainstream:

[PATCH] i386: Move phys_proc_id/early intel workaround to correct function

early_cpu_detect only runs on the BP, but this code needs to run on all CPUs. This will fix problems with the powernow-k8 driver on dual core systems and general misdetection of AMD dual core.

Looks like a mismerge somewhere. Also add a warning comment.

diff-ms-ia64-update-mmu-cache-2

Patch from Pavel, taken from mainstream:

Fix of diff-ms-ia64-update-mmu-cache: Need to call lazy_mmu_prot_update() with new pte value, not old one.

Bug #59847.

diff-ms-shmdt-align

Patch from mainstream:

[PATCH] shmdt cannot detach not-alined shm segment cleanly.

sys_shmdt() can manage shm segments which are covered by multiple vmas. (This can happen when a user uses mprotect() after shmat().)

This works well if shm is aligned to PAGE_SIZE, but if not, the last segment cannot be detached. It is because a comparison in sys_shmdt():

   (vma->vm_end - addr) < size
       addr == return address of shmat()
       size == shmsize, argments to shmget()

size should be aligned to PAGE_SIZE before being compared with vma->vm_end, which is aligned.

[IA64] ptrace.c: Fix unchecked user-memory accesses due to ptrace_{get,set}regs()

Here is another fix for a sparse-detected bug: turns out ptrace_getregs() and ptrace_putregs() did unchecked user-memory accesses! These were tricky to see, so it's not surprising that they went unnoticed so far. Fortunately, sparse can detect these trivially. Patch below should fix the problem, but it's completely untested (I don't have any testcases for getregs/putregs).

diff-ms-ia64-unwind-checks

Based on a suggestion by David Mosberger, reworked to fit the current tree. This survives my stress test which used to break 2.6.9 kernels. Unlike 2.6.11, the stress test now unwinds to the correct point, so gdb can get the user space registers.

diff-ms-ia64-unwind-unat

Patch from mainstream:

[IA64] unwind.c uses wrong unat from switch_stack

unwind.c can read the wrong unat bits from switch_stack. sw->caller_unat is the value of ar.unat when the task was blocked. sw->ar_unat is the value of ar.unat after doing st8.spill for r4-7. IOW, ar_unat is caller_unat with 4 bits changed.

unw_access_gr() uses sw->ar_unat for r4-7 (correct), but it also uses sw->ar_unat for other scratch registers (incorrect). sw->ar_unat should only be used for r4-7, everything else should use sw->caller_unat, unless modified by unwind info. Using sw->ar_unat risks picking up the 4 bits that were overwritten when r4-7 were saved.

Also this line is wrong

unw.sw_off[unw.preg_index[UNW_REG_PFS]] = SW(AR_UNAT);

and should be

unw.sw_off[unw.preg_index[UNW_REG_PFS]] = SW(AR_PFS);

diff-ms-emt64-sigrestart-rax

Patch from mainstream:

[PATCH] x86_64: fix syscall/signal restart bug

Fix a pretty bad bug that caused sometimes signals on x86-64 to be restarted like system calls. This corrupted the RIP and in general caused undesirable effects.

The problem happens because orig_rax is unsigned on x86-64, but it originally was signed when the signal code was written. And the if (orig_rax >= 0) ended up always true. And gcc didn't warn about this, because the warning is only in -Wextra.

In 2.4 we still had a cast for it, but somehow it got dropped in 2.5.

Credit goes to John Slice for tracking it down and Erich Boleyn for the original fix. All blame to me. I fixed it at another place too.

Patch from mainstream:

[PATCH] x86_64: Fix 32bit system call restart

The test case at 1-5.c fails if it runs as a 32bit process on x86_86 machines.

The root cause is the sub 32bit process fails to restart the syscall after it is interrupted by a signal.

The syscall number of sys_restart_syscall in table sys_call_table is __NR_restart_syscall (219) while it's __NR_ia32_restart_syscall (0) in ia32_sys_call_table. When regs->rax==(unsigned long)-ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK, function do_signal doesn't distinguish if the process is 64bit or 32bit, and always sets restart syscall number as __NR_restart_syscall (219).

diff-ms-ia64-pci-ext

Patch from mainstream:

[PATCH] PCI: pci_raw_ops should use unsigned args

Convert pci_raw_ops to use unsigned segment (aka domain), bus, and devfn. With the previous code, various ia64 config accesses fail due to segment sign-extension problems.

ia64:

  • With a signed seg >= 0x8, unwanted sign-extension occurs when "seg << 28" is cast to u64 in PCI_SAL_EXT_ADDRESS()
  • PCI_SAL_EXT_ADDRESS(): cast to u64 *before* shifting; otherwise "seg << 28" is evaluated as unsigned int (32 bits) and gets truncated when seg > 0xf
  • pci_sal_read(): validate "value" ptr as other arches do
  • pci_sal_{read,write}(): return -EINVAL rather than SAL error status

Patch from mainstream:

[IA64] Avoid .spillpsp directive in handcoded assembly

Some time ago, GAS was fixed to bring the .spillpsp directive in line with the Intel assembler manual (there was some disagreement as to whether or not there is a built-in 16-byte offset). Unfortunately, there are two places in the kernel where this directive is used in handwritten assembly files and those of course relied on the "buggy" behavior. As a result, when using a "fixed" assembler, the kernel picks up the UNaT bits from the wrong place (off by 16) and randomly sets NaT bits on the scratch registers. This can be noticed easily by looking at a coredump and finding various scratch registers with unexpected NaT values. The patch below fixes this by using the .spillsp directive instead, which works correctly no matter what assembler is in use.

Patch from mainstream:

[IA64] make exception handler in copy_user more robust

The exception handler in copy user always expects fault occurs only on user space address and the fall back recovery code is written with that very assumption in mind. Recent source code inspection revealed that while it worked splendid and to the expectation under normal circumstances, It broke down under unexpected condition where some address calculation might go outside the legal address range the original copy_user was called for. This patch is to make copy_user exception handler more robust and to prevent potential memory corruption.
