Andrew "Eagle Eye" Morton noticed that we use raw_local_save_flags()

preemption of oopsing contexts - which is highly undesirable. It also
causes CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT to complain, as reported by Miles Lane.

this bug was introduced via:

+               __raw_spin_lock(&die.lock);
+               raw_local_save_flags(flags);

that is not a correct open-coding of spin_lock_irqsave(): both the
ordering is wrong (irqs should be disabled _first_), and the wrong
flags-saving API was used.

dm: table detect io beyond device

This patch fixes a panic on shrinking a DM device if there is
outstanding I/O to the part of the device that is being removed.
(Normally this doesn't happen - a filesystem would be resized first,
for example.)

The bug is that __clone_and_map() assumes dm_table_find_target()
always returns a valid pointer.  It may fail if a bio arrives from the
block layer but its target sector is no longer included in the DM
btree.

This patch appends an empty entry to table->targets[] which will
be returned by a lookup beyond the end of the device.

After calling dm_table_find_target(), __clone_and_map() and target_message()
check for this condition using
dm_target_is_valid().

16 years agodebug: add end-of-oops marker
Arjan van de Ven [Thu, 20 Dec 2007 14:01:17 +0000 (15:01 +0100)] 
debug: add end-of-oops marker

Right now it's nearly impossible for parsers that collect kernel crashes
from logs or emails (such as www.kerneloops.org) to detect the
end-of-oops condition. In addition, it's not currently possible to
detect whether or not 2 oopses that look alike are actually the same
oops reported twice, or are truly two unique oopses.

This patch adds an end-of-oops marker, and makes the end marker include
a very simple 64-bit random ID to be able to detect duplicate reports.

Normally, this ID is calculated as a late_initcall() (in the hope that
at that time there is enough entropy to get a unique enough ID); however
for early oopses the oops_exit() function needs to generate the ID on
the fly.

We do this all at the _end_ of an oops printout, so this does not impact
our ability to get the most important portions of a crash out to the
console first.

[ Sidenote: the already existing oopses-since-bootup counter we print
  during crashes serves as the differentiator between multiple oopses
  that trigger during the same bootup. ]

Tested on 32-bit and 64-bit x86. Artificially injected very early
crashes as well, as expected they result in this constant ID after
multiple bootups:

  ---[ end trace ca143223eefdc828 ]---
  ---[ end trace ca143223eefdc828 ]---

because the random pools are still all zero. But it all still works
fine and causes no additional problems (which is the main goal of
instrumentation code).

[TG3]: Endianness bugfix.

tg3_nvram_write_block_unbuffered() is reading data from nvram into
allocated buffer before overwriting a part of it with user-supplied
data.  Then it feeds the entire page back to nvram.  It should be
storing the words it had read as little-endian, not as host-endian.
Note that tg3_set_eeprom() does exactly that for padding the same
data to full words before it gets passed down to tg3_nvram_write_block()
and then to tg3_nvram_write_block_unbuffered().

Moreover, when we get to sending the entire thing back to nvram, we
go through it word-by-word, doing essentially
writel(swab32(le32_to_cpu(word)), ...)
so if we want them to reach the card in host-independent endianness,
we'd better really have all that buffer filled with fixed-endian.
For user-supplied part we obviously do have that (it's an array of
octets memcpy'd in), ditto for padding of user-supplied part to word
boundaries (taken care of in tg3_set_eeprom()).  The rest of the
buffer gets filled by tg3_nvram_write_block_unbuffered() and it would
damn better be consistent with that (and with tg3_get_eeprom(), while
we are at it - there we also convert the words read from nvram to
little-endian before returning the buffer to user).

The bug should get triggered on big-endian boxen when set_eeprom is done
for less than entire page.  Then the words that should've been unaffected
at all will actually get byteswapped in place in nvram.

Do dirty page accounting when removing a page from the page cache

Krzysztof Oledzki noticed a dirty page accounting leak on some of his
machines, causing the machine to eventually lock up when the kernel
decided that there was too much dirty data, but nobody could actually
write anything out to fix it.

The culprit turns out to be filesystems (cough ext3 with data=journal
cough) that re-dirty the page when the "->invalidatepage()" callback is
called.

Fix it up by doing a final dirty page accounting check when we actually
remove the page from the page cache.

[IA64] Avoid unnecessary TLB flushes when allocating memory

Improve performance of memory allocations on ia64 by avoiding a global TLB
purge to purge a single page from the file cache. This happens whenever we
evict a page from the buffer cache to make room for some other allocation.

Test case: Run 'find /usr -type f | xargs cat > /dev/null' in the
background to fill the buffer cache, then run something that uses memory,
e.g. 'gmake -j50 install'. Instrumentation showed that the number of
global TLB purges went from a few millions down to about 170 over a 12
hours run of the above.

The performance impact is particularly noticeable under virtualization,
because a virtual TLB is generally both larger and slower to purge than
a physical one.

x86: fix "Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work!"

this is the tale of a full day spent debugging an ancient but elusive bug.

after booting up thousands of random .config kernels, i finally happened
to generate a .config that produced the following rare bootup failure
on 32-bit x86:

| ..TIMER: vector=0x31 apic1=0 pin1=2 apic2=-1 pin2=-1
| ..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
| ...trying to set up timer (IRQ0) through the 8259A ...  failed.
| ...trying to set up timer as Virtual Wire IRQ... failed.
| ...trying to set up timer as ExtINT IRQ... failed :(.
| Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work!  Boot with apic=debug
| and send a report.  Then try booting with the 'noapic' option

this bug has been reported many times during the years, but it was never
reproduced nor fixed.

the bug that i hit was extremely sensitive to .config details.

First i did a .config-bisection - suspecting some .config detail.
That led to CONFIG_X86_MCE: enabling X86_MCE magically made the bug disappear
and the system would boot up just fine.

Debugging my way through the MCE code ended up identifying two unlikely
candidates: the thing that made a real difference to the hang was that
X86_MCE did two printks:

 Intel machine check architecture supported.
 Intel machine check reporting enabled on CPU#1.

Adding the same printks to a !CONFIG_X86_MCE kernel made the bug go away!

this left timing as the main suspect: i experimented with adding various
udelay()s to the arch/x86/kernel/io_apic_32.c:check_timer() function, and
the race window turned out to be narrower than 30 microseconds (!).

That made debugging especially funny, debugging without having printk
ability before the bug hits is ... interesting ;-)

eventually i started suspecting IRQ activities - those are pretty much the
only thing that happen this early during bootup and have the timescale of
a few dozen microseconds. Also, check_timer() changes the IRQ hardware
in various creative ways, so the main candidate became IRQ0 interaction.

i've added a counter to track timer irqs (on which core they arrived, at
what exact time, etc.) and found that no timer IRQ would arrive after the
bug condition hits - even if we re-enable IRQ0 and re-initialize the i8259A,

the spin_unlock() was called from init_8259A(). Wait ... we have an IRQ0
entry while we are in the middle of setting up the local APIC, the i8259A
and the PIT??

That is certainly not how it's supposed to work! check_timer() was supposed
to be called with irqs turned off - but this eroded away sometime in the
past. This code would still work most of the time because this code runs
very quickly, but just the right timing conditions are present and IRQ0
hits in this small, ~30 usecs window, timer irqs stop and the system does
not boot up. Also, given how early this is during bootup, the hang is
very deterministic - but it would only occur on certain machines (and
certain configs).

The fix was quite simple: disable/restore interrupts properly in this
function. With that in place the test-system now boots up just fine.

(64-bit x86 io_apic_64.c had the same bug.)

Phew! One down, only 1500 other kernel bugs are left ;-)

genirq: revert lazy irq disable for simple irqs

In commit 76d2160147f43f982dfe881404cfde9fd0a9da21 lazy irq disabling
was implemented, and the simple irq handler had a masking set to it.

Remy Bohmer discovered that some devices in the ARM architecture
would trigger the mask, but never unmask it. His patch to do the
unmasking was questioned by Russell King about masking simple irqs
to begin with. Looking further, it was discovered that the problems
Remy was seeing was due to improper use of the simple handler by
devices, and he later submitted patches to fix those. But the issue
that was uncovered was that the simple handler should never mask.

This patch reverts the masking in the simple handler.

clockevents: fix reprogramming decision in oneshot broadcast

Resolve the following regression of a choppy, almost unusable laptop:

 http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/7/299
 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9525

A previous version of the code did the reprogramming of the broadcast
device in the return from idle code. This was removed, but the logic in
tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast() was kept the same.

When a broadcast interrupt happens we signal the expiry to all CPUs
which have an expired event. If none of the CPUs has an expired event,
which can happen in dyntick mode, then we reprogram the broadcast
device. We do not reprogram otherwise, but this is only correct if all
CPUs, which are in the idle broadcast state have been woken up.

The code ignores, that there might be pending not yet expired events on
other CPUs, which are in the idle broadcast state. So the delivery of
those events can be delayed for quite a time.

Change the tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast() function to check for CPUs,
which are in broadcast state and are not woken up by the current event,
and enforce the rearming of the broadcast device for those CPUs.
