Frederik Himpe reported an unkillable and un-straceable pan process.
Zero length iovecs can go into an infinite loop in writev, because the
iovec iterator does not always advance over them.
The sequence required to trigger this is not trivial. I think it
requires that a zero-length iovec be followed by a non-zero-length iovec
which causes a pagefault in the atomic usercopy. This causes the writev
code to drop back into single-segment copy mode, which then tries to
copy the 0 bytes of the zero-length iovec; a zero length copy looks like
a failure though, so it loops.
Put a test into iov_iter_advance to catch zero-length iovecs. We could
just put the test in the fallback path, but I feel it is more robust to
skip over zero-length iovecs throughout the code (iovec iterator may be
used in filesystems too, so it should be robust).
The reason why we are getting better wakeup latencies for
!FAIR_USER_SCHED is because of this snippet of code in place_entity():
if (!initial) {
/* sleeps upto a single latency don't count. */
if (sched_feat(NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS) && entity_is_task(se))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
vruntime -= sysctl_sched_latency;
/* ensure we never gain time by being placed backwards. */
vruntime = max_vruntime(se->vruntime, vruntime);
}
NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS feature gives credit for sleeping only to tasks and
not group-level entities. With the patch attached, I could see that
wakeup latencies with FAIR_USER_SCHED are restored to the same level as
!FAIR_USER_SCHED.

vm audit: add VM_DONTEXPAND to mmap for drivers that need it (CVE-2008-0007)
Drivers that register a ->fault handler, but do not range-check the
offset argument, must set VM_DONTEXPAND in the vm_flags in order to
prevent an expanding mremap from overflowing the resource.
I've audited the tree and attempted to fix these problems (usually by
adding VM_DONTEXPAND where it is not obvious).
If the node we're booting on doesn't have memory, bootstrapping kmalloc()
caches resorts to fallback_alloc() which requires ->nodelists set for all
nodes. Fix that by calling set_up_list3s() for CACHE_CACHE in
kmem_cache_init().
As kmem_getpages() is called with GFP_THISNODE set, this used to work before
because of breakage in 2.6.22 and before with GFP_THISNODE returning pages from
the wrong node if a node had no memory. So it may have worked accidentally and
in an unsafe manner because the pages would have been associated with the wrong
node which could trigger bug ons and locking troubles.

fix hugepages leak due to pagetable page sharing
The shared page table code for hugetlb memory on x86 and x86_64
is causing a leak. When a user of hugepages exits using this code
the system leaks some of the hugepages.

Part of /proc/meminfo just before database startup:

The problem occurs durring a fork, in copy_hugetlb_page_range(). It
locates the dst_pte using huge_pte_alloc(). Since huge_pte_alloc() calls
huge_pmd_share() it will share the pmd page if can, yet the main loop in
copy_hugetlb_page_range() does a get_page() on every hugepage. This is a
violation of the shared hugepmd pagetable protocol and creates additional
referenced to the hugepages causing a leak when the unmap of the VMA
occurs. We can skip the entire replication of the ptes when the hugepage
pagetables are shared. The attached patch skips copying the ptes and the
get_page() calls if the hugetlbpage pagetable is shared.

Furthermore, in the handler we need to make sure that we clear the
event, even if the timer isn't running.

W1: w1_therm.c is flagging 0C etc as invalid
The extra rom[0] check is flagging valid temperatures as invalid when
there is already a CRC data transmission check.
w1_therm_read_bin()
if (rom[8] == crc && rom[0])
verdict = 1;
Requiring rom[0] to be non-zero will flag as invalid temperature
conversions when the low byte is zero, specifically the temperatures 0C,
16C, 32C, 48C, -16C, -32C, and -48C.
The CRC check is produced on the device for the previous 8 bytes and is
required to ensure the data integrity in transmission. I don't see why the
extra check for rom[0] being non-zero is in there. Evgeniy Polyakov didn't
know either. Just for a check I unplugged the sensor, executed a
temperature conversion, and read the results. The read was all ff's, which
also failed the CRC, so it doesn't need to protect against a disconnected
sensor.
I have more extensive patches in the work, but these two trivial ones will
do for today. I would like to hear from people who use the ds2490 USB to
one wire dongle. 1 if you would be willing to test the patches as I
currently only have the one sensor on a short parisite powered wire, 2 if
there is any cheap sources for the ds2490.

Correct the decoding of negative C temperatures. The code did a binary OR
of two bytes to make a 16 bit value, but assignd it to an integer. This
caused the value to not be sign extended and to loose that it was a
negative number in the assignment.
Before the patch (in my freezer),

ed fe 4b 46 7f ff 03 10 e4 : crc=e4 YES

hwmon: (it87) request only Environment Controller ports
The IT8705F and related parts are Super I/O controllers that contain
many separate devices.
Some BIOSes describe IT8705F I/O port usage under a motherboard device
(PNP0C02) with overlapping regions, e.g., 0x290-0x29f and 0x290-0x294.
The it87 driver supports only the Environment Controller, which requires
only two ISA ports, but it used to request an eight-port range. If that
range exceeds a range reported by the BIOS, as 0x290-0x297 would, the
request fails, and the it87 driver cannot claim the device.
This patch makes the it87 driver request only the two ports used for the
Environment Controller device.
Systems where this problem has been reported:
Gigabyte GA-K8N Ultra 9
Gigabyte M56S-S3
Gigabyte GA-965G-DS3
The patch above increases the number of PNP port resources we support.
Prior to this patch, we ignored some port resources, which masked the
it87 problem.

It tried to fix long standing bugzilla entries, but the solution was
reported to break other systems. The reporter of
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9791
tracked it down to this commit and confirmed that reverting the patch
restores the correct behaviour. It's too late in the release cycle to
find a better solution than reverting the commit to avoid regressions.

[SPARC64]: Fix section error in sparcspkr
With a sparc64 defconfig modified to set CONFIG_HOTPLUG=n
the following error happened during link of vmlinux:
local symbol 0: discarded in section `.devexit.text' from drivers/built-in.o
local symbol 1: discarded in section `.devexit.text' from drivers/built-in.o
(The error message above is from kbuild.git but it happens in mainline too)
The error happens becase there is a reference from .text/.data to a
function marked __devexit. With CONFIG_HOTPLUG=n all code marked
__devexit are discarded and the linker complains.
It was tracked down to sparcspkr.c which were missing __devexit_p()
around the function pointers.
Unfortunately modpost did not catch this since modpost do not warn
about references from .data to .devexit from variables named *_driver.
