Linus Torvalds [Mon, 27 Nov 2006 03:05:22 +0000 (19:05 -0800)] 
Fix 'ALIGN()' macro, take 2

You wouldn't think that doing an ALIGN() macro that aligns something up
to a power-of-two boundary would be likely to have bugs, would you?

But hey, in the wonderful world of mixing integer types, you have to be
careful.  This just makes sure that the alignment is interpreted in the
same type as the thing to be aligned.

Thanks to Roland Dreier, who noticed that the amso1100 driver got broken
by the previous fix (that just extended the mask to "unsigned long", but
was still broken in "unsigned long long" - it just happened to be the
same on 64-bit architectures).

[PATCH] uml: make execvp safe for our usage

Reimplement execvp for our purposes - after we call fork() it is fundamentally
unsafe to use the kernel allocator - current is not valid there.  So we simply
pass to our modified execvp() a preallocated buffer.  This fixes a real bug
and works very well in testing (I've seen indirectly warning messages from the
forked thread - they went on the pipe connected to its stdout and where read
as a number by UML, when calling read_output().  I verified the obtained
number corresponded to "BUG:").

The added use of __cant_sleep() is not a new bug since __cant_sleep() is
already used in the same function - passing an atomicity parameter would be
better but it would require huge change, stating that this function must not
be called in atomic context and can sleep is a better idea (will make sure of
this gradually).

Passes allmodconfig on i386, x86_64, alpha, arm as well as my usual config.

Note #1: checking with sparse is still needed, because a driver can save
 and pass around flags or something. So far patch is very intrusive.
Note #2: techically, we should break only if
sizeof(flags) < sizeof(unsigned long),

[PATCH] rtc class locking bugfixes

I got a lockdep warning when running "rtctest" so I though it'd be good
to see what was up.

 - The warning was for rtc->irq_task_lock, gotten from rtc_update_irq()
   by irq handlerss ... but in a handful of other cases, grabbed without
   blocking IRQs.

 - Some callers to rtc_update_irq() were not ensuring IRQs were blocked,
   yet the routine expects that; make sure all callers block IRQs.

It would appear that RTC API tests haven't been part of anyone's kernel
regression test suite recently, at least not with lockdep running.

[PATCH] rtc framework handles periodic irqs

The RTC framework has an irq_set_freq() method that should be used to manage
the periodic IRQ frequency, but the current ioctl logic doesn't know how to do
that.  This patch teaches it how.

This means that drivers implementing irq_set_freq() will automatically support
RTC_IRQP_{READ,SET} ioctls; that logic doesn't need duplication within the

find_min_pfn_for_node() and find_min_pfn_with_active_regions() both

In most cases, this is ok, but on at least one x86_64, the SRAT table

initialised.

This reverts commit 37605a6900f6b4d886d995751fcfeef88c4e462c.

Again.

This same bug has now been introduced twice: it was done earlier by
commit b8d35192c55fb055792ff0641408eaaec7c88988, only to be reverted
last time in commit 72945b2b90a5554975b8f72673ab7139d232a121.

We must NOT try to queue up notify handlers to another thread than the
normal ACPI execution thread, because the notifications on some systems
seem to just keep on accumulating until we run out of memory and/or
threads.

Keeping events within the one deferred execution thread automatically
throttles the events properly.

At least the Compaq N620c will lock up completely on the first thermal
event without this patch reverted.

x86: be more careful when walking back the frame pointer chain

When showing the stack backtrace, make sure that we never accept not
only an unchanging frame pointer, but also a frame pointer that moves
back down the stack frame.  It must always grow up (toward older stack
frames).

I doubt this has triggered, but a subtly corrupt stack with extremely
unlucky contents could cause us to loop forever on a bogus endless frame
pointer chain.

[PATCH] i386/x86_64: ACPI cpu_idle_wait() fix

The scheduler on Andreas Friedrich's hyperthreading system stopped
working properly: the scheduler would never move tasks to another CPU!
The lask known working kernel was 2.6.8.

After a couple of attempts to corner the bug, the following smoking gun
was found:

  BIOS reported wrong ACPI idfor the processor

   [<c0103a87>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10

a quick look at cpu_idle_wait() shows how broken that code is
on i386: it changes the init task's affinity map but never
restores it ...

and because all userspace tasks get forked by init, they all
inherited that single-CPU affinity mask. x86_64 cloned this
bug too.

this crash happened because it did not sanitize the dwarf2 data it
got, and got an unaligned stack pointer - which happily walked past
the process stack (and eventually reached the end of kernel memory
and pagefaulted there) due to this naive iteration condition:

        HANDLE_STACK (((long) stack & (THREAD_SIZE-1)) != 0);

note that i386 is alot more conservative when it comes to trusting
stack pointers:

  static inline int valid_stack_ptr(struct thread_info *tinfo, void *p)
  {
         return  p > (void *)tinfo &&
                 p < (void *)tinfo + THREAD_SIZE - 3;
  }

but the x86_64 code did not take this bit of i386 code.

The fix is to align the stack pointer.
