Commit a2e066bba2aad6583e3ff648bf28339d6c9f0898 introduced core
swapping for CPU models 64 and later. I recently had a report about
a Sempron 3200+, model 95, for which this patch broke temperature
reading. It happens that this is a single-core processor, so the
effect of the swapping was to read a temperature value for a core
that didn't exist, leading to an incorrect value (-49 degrees C.)
Disabling core swapping on singe-core processors should fix this.
Additional comment from Andreas:
The BKDG says
Thermal Sensor Core Select (ThermSenseCoreSel)-Bit 2. This bit
selects the CPU whose temperature is reported in the CurTemp
field. This bit only applies to dual core processors. For
single core processors CPU0 Thermal Sensor is always selected.
k8temp_probe() correctly detected that SEL_CORE can't be used on single
core CPU. Thus k8temp did never update the temperature values stored
in temp[1][x] and -49 degrees was reported. For single core CPUs we
must use the values read into temp[0][x].

ssb: Handle Netbook devices where the SPROM address is changed
For some Netbook computers with Broadcom BCM4312 wireless interfaces,
the SPROM has been moved to a new location. When the ssb driver tries to
read the old location, the systems hangs when trying to read a
non-existent location. Such freezes are particularly bad as they do not
log the failure.
This patch is modified from commit da1fdb02d9200ff28b6f3a380d21930335fe5429 with some pieces from other

virtio-pci resets the device at startup by writing to the status
register, but this does not clear the pci config space,
specifically msi enable status which affects register
layout.
This breaks things like kdump when they try to use e.g. virtio-blk.
Fix by forcing msi off at startup. Since pci.c already has
a routine to do this, we export and use it instead of duplicating code.

find_keyring_by_name() can gain access to a keyring that has had its reference
count reduced to zero, and is thus ready to be freed. This then allows the
dead keyring to be brought back into use whilst it is being destroyed.
This problem is that find_keyring_by_name does not confirm that the keyring is
valid before accepting it.
Skipping keyrings that have been reduced to a zero count seems the way to go.
To this end, use atomic_inc_not_zero() to increment the usage count and skip
the candidate keyring if that returns false.
The following script _may_ cause the bug to happen, but there's no guarantee
as the window of opportunity is small:
Clear the floating point exception flag before returning to
user space. This is needed, else the libc trampoline handler
may hit the same SIGFPE again while building up a trampoline
to a signal handler.

x86, paravirt: Add a global synchronization point for pvclock
In recent stress tests, it was found that pvclock-based systems
could seriously warp in smp systems. Using ingo's time-warp-test.c,
I could trigger a scenario as bad as 1.5mi warps a minute in some systems.
(to be fair, it wasn't that bad in most of them). Investigating further, I
found out that such warps were caused by the very offset-based calculation
pvclock is based on.
This happens even on some machines that report constant_tsc in its tsc flags,
specially on multi-socket ones.
Two reads of the same kernel timestamp at approx the same time, will likely
have tsc timestamped in different occasions too. This means the delta we
calculate is unpredictable at best, and can probably be smaller in a cpu
that is legitimately reading clock in a forward ocasion.
Some adjustments on the host could make this window less likely to happen,
but still, it pretty much poses as an intrinsic problem of the mechanism.
A while ago, I though about using a shared variable anyway, to hold clock
last state, but gave up due to the high contention locking was likely
to introduce, possibly rendering the thing useless on big machines. I argue,
however, that locking is not necessary.
We do a read-and-return sequence in pvclock, and between read and return,
the global value can have changed. However, it can only have changed
by means of an addition of a positive value. So if we detected that our
clock timestamp is less than the current global, we know that we need to
return a higher one, even though it is not exactly the one we compared to.
OTOH, if we detect we're greater than the current time source, we atomically
replace the value with our new readings. This do causes contention on big
boxes (but big here means *BIG*), but it seems like a good trade off, since
it provide us with a time source guaranteed to be stable wrt time warps.
After this patch is applied, I don't see a single warp in time during 5 days
of execution, in any of the machines I saw them before.

Synaptics hardware requires resetting device after suspend to ram
in order for the device to be operational. The reset lives in
synaptics-specific reconnect handler, but it is not being invoked
if synaptics support is disabled and the device is handled as a
standard PS/2 device (bare or IntelliMouse protocol).
Let's add reset into generic reconnect handler as well.
What happens is that, when the tipc module in inserted it enters a standalone
node mode in which communication to its own address is allowed <0.0.0> but not
to other addresses, since the appropriate data structures have not been
allocated yet (specifically the tipc_net pointer). There is nothing stopping a
client from trying to send such a message however, and if that happens, we
attempt to dereference tipc_net.zones while the pointer is still NULL, and
explode. The fix is pretty straightforward. Since these oopses all arise from
the dereference of global pointers prior to their assignment to allocated
values, and since these allocations are small (about 2k total), lets convert
these pointers to static arrays of the appropriate size. All the accesses to
these bits consider 0/NULL to be a non match when searching, so all the lookups
still work properly, and there is no longer a chance of a bad dererence
anywhere. As a bonus, this lets us eliminate the setup/teardown routines for
those pointers, and elimnates the need to preform any locking around them to
prevent access while their being allocated/freed.
I've updated the tipc_net structure to behave this way to fix the exact reported
problem, and also fixed up the tipc_bearers and media_list arrays to fix an
obvious simmilar problem that arises from issuing tipc-config commands to
manipulate bearers/links prior to entering networked mode
I've tested this for a few hours by running the sanity tests and stress test
with the tipcutils suite, and nothing has fallen over. There have been a few
lockdep warnings, but those were there before, and can be addressed later, as
they didn't actually result in any deadlock.

Its an skb_over_panic BUG halt that results from processing an init chunk in
which too many of its variable length parameters are in some way malformed.
The problem is in sctp_process_unk_param:
if (NULL == *errp)
*errp = sctp_make_op_error_space(asoc, chunk,
ntohs(chunk->chunk_hdr->length));
if (*errp) {
sctp_init_cause(*errp, SCTP_ERROR_UNKNOWN_PARAM,
WORD_ROUND(ntohs(param.p->length)));
sctp_addto_chunk(*errp,
WORD_ROUND(ntohs(param.p->length)),
param.v);
When we allocate an error chunk, we assume that the worst case scenario requires
that we have chunk_hdr->length data allocated, which would be correct nominally,
given that we call sctp_addto_chunk for the violating parameter. Unfortunately,
we also, in sctp_init_cause insert a sctp_errhdr_t structure into the error
chunk, so the worst case situation in which all parameters are in violation
requires chunk_hdr->length+(sizeof(sctp_errhdr_t)*param_count) bytes of data.
The result of this error is that a deliberately malformed packet sent to a

On mcp55, nIEN gets stuck once set and liteon blueray rom iHOS104-08
violates ATA specification and fails to set I on D2H Reg FIS if nIEN
is set when the command was issued. When the other party is following
the spec, both devices can work fine but when the two flaws are put
together, they can't talk to each other.
mcp55 has its own IRQ masking mechanism and there's no reason to mess
with nIEN in the first place. Fix it by dropping nIEN diddling from
nv_mcp55_freeze/thaw().
This was originally reported by Cengiz. Although Cengiz hasn't
verified the fix yet, I could reproduce this problem and verfiy the

this patch is needed.

Per IEEE 1394 clause 8.4.2.3, a contender for the IRM role shall check
whether the current IRM complies to 1394a-2000 or later. If not force a
compliant node (e.g. itself) to become IRM. This was implemented in the
older ieee1394 driver but not yet in firewire-core.
An older Sony camcorder (Sony DCR-TRV25) which implements 1394-1995 IRM
but neither 1394a-2000 IRM nor BM was now found to cause an
interoperability bug:
- Camcorder becomes root node when plugged in, hence gets IRM role.
- firewire-core successfully contends for BM role, proceeds to perform
gap count optimization and resets the bus.
- Sony camcorder ignores presence of a BM (against the spec, this is
a firmware bug), performs its idea of gap count optimization and
resets the bus.
- Preceding two steps are repeated endlessly, bus never settles,
regular I/O is practically impossible.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.firewire.user/3913
This is an interoperability regression from the old to the new drivers.
Fix it indirectly by adding the 1394a IRM check. The spec suggests
three and a half methods to determine 1394a compliance of a remote IRM;
we choose the method of testing the Config_ROM.Bus_Info.generation
field. This is data that firewire-core should have readily available at
this point, i.e. does not require extra I/O.

Since the device we are resuming could be the device containing the
swap device we should ensure that the allocation cannot cause
IO.
On resume, this path is triggered when the running system tries to
continue using its devices. If it cannot then the resume will fail;
to try to avoid this we let it dip into the emergency pools.
The core suspend/resume code is run from stop_machine on CPU0 but
parts of the suspend/resume machinery (including xen_arch_resume) are
run on whichever CPU happened to schedule the xenwatch kernel thread.
As part of the non-core resume code xen_arch_resume is called in order
to restart the timer tick on non-boot processors. The boot processor
itself is taken care of by core timekeeping code.
xen_arch_resume uses smp_call_function which does not call the given
function on the current processor. This means that we can end up with
one CPU not receiving timer ticks if the xenwatch thread happened to
be scheduled on CPU > 0.
Use on_each_cpu instead of smp_call_function to ensure the timer tick
is resumed everywhere.

Andrew Tridgell reports that aio_read(SIGEV_SIGNAL) can fail if the
notification from the helper thread races with setresuid(), see
http://samba.org/~tridge/junkcode/aio_uid.c
This happens because check_kill_permission() doesn't permit sending a
signal to the task with the different cred->xids. But there is not any
security reason to check ->cred's when the task sends a signal (private or
group-wide) to its sub-thread. Whatever we do, any thread can bypass all
security checks and send SIGKILL to all threads, or it can block a signal
SIG and do kill(gettid(), SIG) to deliver this signal to another
sub-thread. Not to mention that CLONE_THREAD implies CLONE_VM.
Change check_kill_permission() to avoid the credentials check when the
sender and the target are from the same thread group.
Also, move "cred = current_cred()" down to avoid calling get_current()
twice.
Note: David Howells pointed out we could relax this even more, the
CLONE_SIGHAND (without CLONE_THREAD) case probably does not need
these checks too.

radeon's have a special ability to passthrough writes in their internal
memory space directly to PCI, this ability means that if some of the internal
surfaces like the depth buffer point at 0x0, any writes to these will
go directly to RAM at 0x0 via PCI busmastering.
Now mesa used to always emit clears after emitting state, since the
radeon mesa driver was refactored a year or more ago, it was found it
could generate a clear request without ever sending any setup state to the
card. So the clear would attempt to clear the depth buffer at 0x0, which
would overwrite main memory at this point. fs corruption ensues.
Also once one app did this correctly, it would never get set back to 0
making this messy to reproduce.
The kernel should block this from happening as mesa runs without privs,
though it does require the user be connected to the current running X session.
This patch implements a check to make sure the depth offset has been set
before a depth clear occurs and if it finds one it prints a warning and
ignores the depth clear request. There is also a mesa fix to avoid sending
the badness going into mesa.
This only affects r100/r200 GPUs in user modesetting mode.

If the number of sg entries in the ICM chunk reaches MLX4_ICM_CHUNK_LEN,

Shaohua Li reported parallel file copy on tmpfs can lead to OOM killer.
This is regression of caused by commit 9ff473b9a7 ("vmscan: evict
streaming IO first"). Wow, It is 2 years old patch!
Currently, tmpfs file cache is inserted active list at first. This means
that the insertion doesn't only increase numbers of pages in anon LRU, but
it also reduces anon scanning ratio. Therefore, vmscan will get totally
confused. It scans almost only file LRU even though the system has plenty
unused tmpfs pages.
Historically, lru_cache_add_active_anon() was used for two reasons.
1) Intend to priotize shmem page rather than regular file cache.
2) Intend to avoid reclaim priority inversion of used once pages.
But we've lost both motivation because (1) Now we have separate anon and
file LRU list. then, to insert active list doesn't help such priotize.
(2) In past, one pte access bit will cause page activation. then to
insert inactive list with pte access bit mean higher priority than to
insert active list. Its priority inversion may lead to uninteded lru
chun. but it was already solved by commit 645747462 (vmscan: detect
mapped file pages used only once). (Thanks Hannes, you are great!)
Thus, now we can use lru_cache_add_anon() instead.

x86/amd-iommu: Fix suspend/resume with IOMMU
This is a suspend resume fix for 2.6.32-stable inclusion. The
problem with this patch is that it is not upstream because the code
changed with 2.6.33 and the function where this bug is in was
removed. So this fix does not make sense anymore for anything later than
2.6.32. The patch was tested by multiple partys and is confirmed to fix
the broken suspend/resume issue with the 2.6.32 kernel.
This patch fixes suspend/resume with AMD IOMMU enabled.
When the user sets the block device to readwrite then the mddev should
follow suit. Otherwise, the BUG_ON in md_write_start() will be set to
trigger.
The reverse direction, setting mddev->ro to match a set readonly
request, can be ignored because the blkdev level readonly flag precludes
the need to have mddev->ro set correctly. Nevermind the fact that
setting mddev->ro to 1 may fail if the array is in use.

There is a very small race window when writing to a
RAID1 such that if a device is marked faulty at exactly the wrong
time, the write-in-progress will not be sent to the device,
but the bitmap (if present) will be updated to say that
the write was sent.
Then if the device turned out to still be usable as was re-added
to the array, the bitmap-based-resync would skip resyncing that
block, possibly leading to corruption. This would only be a problem
if no further writes were issued to that area of the device (i.e.
that bitmap chunk).
Prior to 2.6.32, setting /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs disabled
periodic dirty writeback from kupdate. This got broken and now causes
excessive sys CPU usage if set to zero, as we'll keep beating on
schedule().
Currently we always call start-cpu irrespective of if the CPU is
stopped or not. Unfortunatley on POWER7, firmware seems to not like
start-cpu being called when a cpu already been started. This was not
the case on POWER6 and earlier.
This patch checks to see if the CPU is stopped or not via an
query-cpu-stopped-state call, and only calls start-cpu on CPUs which
are stopped.
This fixes a bug with kexec on POWER7 on PHYP where only the primary
thread would make it to the second kernel.
