Brian Uhrain says [Tue, 11 Apr 2006 05:53:16 +0000 (22:53 -0700)] 
[PATCH] alpha: SMP boot fixes

I've encountered two problems with 2.6.16 and newer kernels on my API CS20
(dual 833MHz Alpha 21264b processors).  The first is the kernel OOPSing
because of a NULL pointer dereference while trying to populate SysFS with the
CPU information.  The other is that only one processor was being brought up.
I've included a small Alpha-specific patch that fixes both problems.

The first problem was caused by the CPUs never being properly registered using
register_cpu(), the way it's done on other architectures.

The second problem has to do with the removal of hwrpb_cpu_present_mask in
arch/alpha/kernel/smp.c.  In setup_smp() in the 2.6.15 kernel sources,
hwrpb_cpu_present_mask has a bit set for each processor that is probed, and
afterwards cpu_present_mask is set to the cpumask for the boot CPU.  In the
same function of the same file in the 2.6.16 sources, instead of
hwrpb_cpu_present_mask being set, cpu_possible_map is updated for each probed
CPU.  cpu_present_mask is still set to the cpumask of the boot CPU afterwards.
 The problem lies in include/asm-alpha/smp.h, where cpu_possible_map is
#define'd to be cpu_present_mask.

Cleanups from: Ivan Kokshaysky <ink@jurassic.park.msu.ru>

 - cpu_present_mask and cpu_possible_map are essentially the same thing
   on alpha, as it doesn't support CPU hotplug;
 - allocate "struct cpu" only for present CPUs, like sparc64 does.
   Static array of "struct cpu" is just a waste of memory.

or X86_BIGSMP to handle.

Reason is we switched to bigsmp to avoid IP race when new cpu is comming
up.  [bigsmp is nothing but using physical flat mode that can work for 1 ..

max] Current x86_64 code uses bigsmp as default when hotplug is enabled.

It would be preferable to make bigsmp as default, and work the dependencies
of other related code like SMP_SUSPEND, and some related to memory hotplug
code for i386.

Current logical flat mode doesnt use shortcuts that cause the race by using
the send_IPI_mask() instead of shortcuts when HOTPLUG_CPU is enabled.

In the meantime this patch is the path of lease resistance.

[PATCH] overcommit: add calculate_totalreserve_pages()

These patches are an enhancement of OVERCOMMIT_GUESS algorithm in
__vm_enough_memory().

- why the kernel needed patching

  When the kernel can't allocate anonymous pages in practice, currnet
  OVERCOMMIT_GUESS could return success. This implementation might be
  the cause of oom kill in memory pressure situation.

  If the Linux runs with page reservation features like
  /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio and without swap region, I think
  the oom kill occurs easily.

- the overall design approach in the patch

  When the OVERCOMMET_GUESS algorithm calculates number of free pages,
  the reserved free pages are regarded as non-free pages.

  This change helps to avoid the pitfall that the number of free pages
  become less than the number which the kernel tries to keep free.

- testing results

  I tested the patches using my test kernel module.

  If the patches aren't applied to the kernel, __vm_enough_memory()
  returns success in the situation but autual page allocation is
  failed.

  On the other hand, if the patches are applied to the kernel, memory
  allocation failure is avoided since __vm_enough_memory() returns
  failure in the situation.

  I checked that on i386 SMP 16GB memory machine. I haven't tested on
  nommu environment currently.

This patch adds totalreserve_pages for __vm_enough_memory().

Calculate_totalreserve_pages() checks maximum lowmem_reserve pages and
pages_high in each zone. Finally, the function stores the sum of each
zone to totalreserve_pages.

The totalreserve_pages is calculated when the VM is initilized.
And the variable is updated when /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_raito
or /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes are changed.

Eric W. Biederman [Mon, 10 Apr 2006 23:16:49 +0000 (17:16 -0600)] 
[PATCH] de_thread: Don't confuse users do_each_thread.

Oleg Nesterov spotted two interesting bugs with the current de_thread
code.  The simplest is a long standing double decrement of
__get_cpu_var(process_counts) in __unhash_process.  Caused by
two processes exiting when only one was created.

The other is that since we no longer detach from the thread_group list
it is possible for do_each_thread when run under the tasklist_lock to
see the same task_struct twice.  Once on the task list as a
thread_group_leader, and once on the thread list of another
thread.

The double appearance in do_each_thread can cause a double increment
of mm_core_waiters in zap_threads resulting in problems later on in
coredump_wait.

To remedy those two problems this patch takes the simple approach
of changing the old thread group leader into a child thread.
The only routine in release_task that cares is __unhash_process,
and it can be trivially seen that we handle cleaning up a
thread group leader properly.

Since de_thread doesn't change the pid of the exiting leader process
and instead shares it with the new leader process.  I change
thread_group_leader to recognize group leadership based on the
group_leader field and not based on pids.  This should also be
slightly cheaper then the existing thread_group_leader macro.

I performed a quick audit and I couldn't see any user of
thread_group_leader that cared about the difference.

[Security] Keys: Fix oops when adding key to non-keyring

This fixes the problem of an oops occuring when a user attempts to add a
key to a non-keyring key [CVE-2006-1522].

The problem is that __keyring_search_one() doesn't check that the
keyring it's been given is actually a keyring.

I've fixed this problem by:

 (1) declaring that caller of __keyring_search_one() must guarantee that
     the keyring is a keyring; and

 (2) making key_create_or_update() check that the keyring is a keyring,
     and return -ENOTDIR if it isn't.

18 years ago[TG3]: Speed up SRAM access (2nd version)
Michael Chan [Fri, 7 Apr 2006 04:46:34 +0000 (21:46 -0700)] 
[TG3]: Speed up SRAM access (2nd version)

Speed up SRAM read and write functions if possible by using MMIO
instead of config. cycles. With this change, the post reset signature
done at the end of D3 power change must now be moved before the D3
power change.

IBM reported a problem on powerpc blades during ethtool self test that
was caused by the memory test taking excessively long. Config.  cycles
are very slow on powerpc and the memory test can take more than 10
seconds to complete using config. cycles.

David Miller informed me that an earlier version of the patch caused
problems on sparc64 systems with built-in tg3 chips. This version
fixes the problem by excluding all SUN built-in tg3 chips from doing
MMIO SRAM access.

TG3_FLAG_EEPROM_WRITE_PROT is also set unconditionally when
TG3_FLG2_SUN_570X is set. This should be sane as all SUN chips are
built-in and do not require Vaux switching.
