2009-08-27acpi processor: remove superfluous warning messageFrans Pop
This failure is very common on many platforms. Handling it in the ACPI processor driver is enough, and we don't need a warning message unless CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG is set. Based on a patch from Zhang Rui.

2009-08-27ACPI processor: force throttling state when BIOS returns incorrect valueFrans Pop
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).

2009-08-27wmi: fix kernel panic when stack protection enabled.Costantino Leandro
Summary: Kernel panic arise when stack protection is enabled, since strncat will add a null terminating byte '\0'; So in functions like this one (wmi_query_block): char wc[4]="WC"; .... strncat(method, block->object_id, 2); ... the length of wc should be n+1 (wc[5]) or stack protection fault will arise. This is not noticeable when stack protection is disabled,but , isn't good either.

2009-08-27thermal_sys: check get_temp return valueMichael Brunner
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.

2009-08-27clone(): fix race between copy_process() and de_thread()Oleg Nesterov
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.

2009-08-27mm: fix for infinite churning of mlocked pagesMinchan Kim
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.

2009-08-27flex_array: convert element_nr formals to unsignedDavid Rientjes
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.

2009-08-27flex_array: fix get function for elements in base starting at non-zeroDavid Rientjes
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).

2009-08-25sparc64: Validate linear D-TLB misses.David S. Miller
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.

2009-08-25tty: make sure to flush any pending work when halting the ldiscLinus Torvalds
When I rewrote tty ldisc code to use proper reference counts (commits 65b770468e98 and cbe9352fa08f) in order to avoid a race with hangup, the test-program that Eric Biederman used to trigger the original problem seems to have exposed another long-standing bug: the hangup code did the 'tty_ldisc_halt()' to stop any buffer flushing activity, but unlike the other call sites it never actually flushed any pending work. As a result, if you get just the right timing, the pending work may be just about to execute (ie the timer has already triggered and thus cancel_delayed_work() was a no-op), when we then re-initialize the ldisc from under it. That, in turn, results in various random problems, usually seen as a NULL pointer dereference in run_timer_softirq() or a BUG() in worker_thread (but it can be almost anything). Fix it by adding the required 'flush_scheduled_work()' after doing the tty_ldisc_halt() (this also requires us to move the ldisc halt to before taking the ldisc mutex in order to avoid a deadlock with the workqueue executing do_tty_hangup, which requires the mutex). The locking should be cleaned up one day (the requirement to do this outside the ldisc_mutex is very annoying, and weakens the lock), but that's a larger and separate undertaking.

2009-08-25x86: Fix build with older binutils and consolidate linker scriptJan Beulich
binutils prior to 2.17 can't deal with the currently possible situation of a new segment following the per-CPU segment, but that new segment being empty - objcopy misplaces the .bss (and perhaps also the .brk) sections outside of any segment. However, the current ordering of sections really just appears to be the effect of cumulative unrelated changes; re-ordering things allows to easily guarantee that the segment following the per-CPU one is non-empty, and at once eliminates the need for the bogus data.init2 segment. Once touching this code, also use the various data section helper macros from include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h. -v2: fix !SMP builds.

2009-08-25perf_counter: Start counting time enabled when group leader gets enabledPaul Mackerras
Currently, if a group is created where the group leader is initially disabled but a non-leader member is initially enabled, and then the leader is subsequently enabled some time later, the time_enabled for the non-leader member will reflect the whole time since it was created, not just the time since the leader was enabled. This is incorrect, because all of the members are effectively disabled while the leader is disabled, since none of the members can go on the PMU if the leader can't. Thus we have to update the ->tstamp_enabled for all the enabled group members when a group leader is enabled, so that the time_enabled computation only counts the time since the leader was enabled. Similarly, when disabling a group leader we have to update the time_enabled and time_running for all of the group members. Also, in update_counter_times, we have to treat a counter whose group leader is disabled as being disabled.

2009-08-25sound: pcm_lib: fix unsorted list constraint handlingClemens Ladisch
snd_interval_list() expected a sorted list but did not document this, so there are drivers that give it an unsorted list. To fix this, change the algorithm to work with any list. This fixes the "Slave PCM not usable" error with USB devices that have multiple alternate settings with sample rates in decreasing order, such as the Philips Askey VC010 WebCam. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14028 Reported-and-tested-by: Andrzej <adkadk@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Clemens Ladisch <clemens@ladisch.de> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

2009-08-24NFSv4: Fix an infinite looping problem with the nfs4_state_managerTrond Myklebust
Commit 76db6d9500caeaa774a3e32a997eba30bbdc176b (nfs41: add session setup to the state manager) introduces an infinite loop possibility in the NFSv4 state manager. By first checking nfs4_has_session() before clearing the NFS4CLNT_SESSION_SETUP flag, it allows for a situation where someone sets that flag, but it never gets cleared, and so the state manager loops. In fact commit c3fad1b1aaf850bf692642642ace7cd0d64af0a3 (nfs41: add session reset to state manager) causes this to happen every time we get a network partition error.

2009-08-24mm: fix hugetlb bug due to user_shm_unlock callHugh Dickins
2.6.30's commit 8a0bdec194c21c8fdef840989d0d7b742bb5d4bc removed user_shm_lock() calls in hugetlb_file_setup() but left the user_shm_unlock call in shm_destroy(). In detail: Assume that can_do_hugetlb_shm() returns true and hence user_shm_lock() is not called in hugetlb_file_setup(). However, user_shm_unlock() is called in any case in shm_destroy() and in the following atomic_dec_and_lock(&up->__count) in free_uid() is executed and if up->__count gets zero, also cleanup_user_struct() is scheduled. Note that sched_destroy_user() is empty if CONFIG_USER_SCHED is not set. However, the ref counter up->__count gets unexpectedly non-positive and the corresponding structs are freed even though there are live references to them, resulting in a kernel oops after a lots of shmget(SHM_HUGETLB)/shmctl(IPC_RMID) cycles and CONFIG_USER_SCHED set. Hugh changed Stefan's suggested patch: can_do_hugetlb_shm() at the time of shm_destroy() may give a different answer from at the time of hugetlb_file_setup(). And fixed newseg()'s no_id error path, which has missed user_shm_unlock() ever since it came in 2.6.9.
