2009-02-26crypto: api - Fix module load deadlock with fallback algorithmsHerbert Xu
With the mandatory algorithm testing at registration, we have now created a deadlock with algorithms requiring fallbacks. This can happen if the module containing the algorithm requiring fallback is loaded first, without the fallback module being loaded first. The system will then try to test the new algorithm, find that it needs to load a fallback, and then try to load that. As both algorithms share the same module alias, it can attempt to load the original algorithm again and block indefinitely. As algorithms requiring fallbacks are a special case, we can fix this by giving them a different module alias than the rest. Then it's just a matter of using the right aliases according to what algorithms we're trying to find. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

2009-02-10tracing, x86: fix fixup section to return to original codeSteven Rostedt
Impact: fix to prevent a kernel crash on fault If for some reason the pointer to the parent function on the stack takes a fault, the fix up code will not return back to the original faulting code. This can lead to unpredictable results and perhaps even a kernel panic. A fault should not happen, but if it does, we should simply disable the tracer, warn, and continue running the kernel. It should not lead to a kernel crash. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

2009-02-10powerpc/pci: mmap anonymous memory when legacy_mem doesn't existBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The new legacy_mem file in sysfs is causing problems with X on machines that don't support legacy memory access. The way I initially implemented it, we would fail with -ENXIO when trying to mmap it, thus exposing to X that we do support the API but there is no legacy memory. Unfortunately, X poor error handling is causing it to fail to start when it gets this error. This implements a workaround hack that instead maps anonymous memory instead (using shmem if VM_SHARED is set, just like /dev/zero does).

2009-02-09x86: fix math_emu register frame accessTejun Heo
do_device_not_available() is the handler for #NM and it declares that it takes a unsigned long and calls math_emu(), which takes a long argument and surprisingly expects the stack frame starting at the zero argument would match struct math_emu_info, which isn't true regardless of configuration in the current code. This patch makes do_device_not_available() take struct pt_regs like other exception handlers and initialize struct math_emu_info with pointer to it and pass pointer to the math_emu_info to math_emulate() like normal C functions do. This way, unless gcc makes a copy of struct pt_regs in do_device_not_available(), the register frame is correctly accessed regardless of kernel configuration or compiler used. This doesn't fix all math_emu problems but it at least gets it somewhat working. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-02-09x86, vmi: put a missing paravirt_release_pmd in pgd_dtorAlok Kataria
Commit 6194ba6ff6ccf8d5c54c857600843c67aa82c407 ("x86: don't special-case pmd allocations as much") made changes to the way we handle pmd allocations, and while doing that it dropped a call to paravirt_release_pd on the pgd page from the pgd_dtor code path. As a result of this missing release, the hypervisor is now unaware of the pgd page being freed, and as a result it ends up tracking this page as a page table page. After this the guest may start using the same page for other purposes, and depending on what use the page is put to, it may result in various performance and/or functional issues ( hangs, reboots). Since this release is only required for VMI, I now release the pgd page from the (vmi)_pgd_free hook.

2009-02-09sparc64: Fix probe_kernel_{read,write}().David S. Miller
This is based upon a report from Chris Torek and his initial patch. From Chris's report: -------------------- This came up in testing kgdb, using the built-in tests -- turn on CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS, then echo V1 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts -- but it would affect using kgdb if you were debugging and looking at bad pointers. -------------------- When we get a copy_{from,to}_user() request and the %asi is set to something other than ASI_AIUS (which is userspace) then we branch off to a routine called memcpy_user_stub(). It just does a straight memcpy since we are copying from kernel to kernel in this case. The logic was that since source and destination are both kernel pointers we don't need to have exception checks. But for what probe_kernel_{read,write}() is trying to do, we have to have the checks, otherwise things like kgdb bad kernel pointer accesses don't do the right thing. Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-02-07x86-64: fix int $0x80 -ENOSYS returnRoland McGrath
One of my past fixes to this code introduced a different new bug. When using 32-bit "int $0x80" entry for a bogus syscall number, the return value is not correctly set to -ENOSYS. This only happens when neither syscall-audit nor syscall tracing is enabled (i.e., never seen if auditd ever started). Test program: /* gcc -o int80-badsys -m32 -g int80-badsys.c Run on x86-64 kernel. Note to reproduce the bug you need auditd never to have started. */ #include <errno.h> #include <stdio.h> int main (void) { long res; asm ("int $0x80" : "=a" (res) : "0" (99999)); printf ("bad syscall returns %ld\n", res); return res != -ENOSYS; } The fix makes the int $0x80 path match the sysenter and syscall paths.

2009-02-05[CPUFREQ] powernow-k8: Get transition latency from ACPI _PSS tableMark Langsdorf
At this time, the PowerNow! driver for K8 uses an experimentally derived formula to calculate transition latency. The value it provides is orders of magnitude too large on modern systems. This patch replaces the formula with ACPI _PSS latency values for more accuracy and better performance. I've tested it on two 2nd generation Opteron systems, a 3rd generation Operton system, and a Turion X2 without seeing any stability problems.

2009-02-05x86: disable intel_iommu support by defaultKyle McMartin
Due to recurring issues with DMAR support on certain platforms. There's a number of filesystem corruption incidents reported: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=479996 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12578 Provide a Kconfig option to change whether it is enabled by default. If disabled, it can still be reenabled by passing intel_iommu=on to the kernel. Keep the .config option off by default.
