2010-09-20GFS2: Remove i_disksizeSteven Whitehouse
With the update of the truncate code, ip->i_disksize and inode->i_size are merely copies of each other. This means we can remove ip->i_disksize and use inode->i_size exclusively reducing the size of a GFS2 inode by 8 bytes. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
2010-09-20GFS2: New truncate sequenceSteven Whitehouse
This updates GFS2's truncate code to use the new truncate sequence correctly. This is a stepping stone to being able to remove ip->i_disksize in favour of using i_size everywhere now that the two sizes are always identical.

2010-09-18alpha: deal with multiple simultaneously pending signalsAl Viro
Unlike the other targets, alpha sets _one_ sigframe and buggers off until the next syscall/interrupt, even if more signals are pending. It leads to quite a few unpleasant inconsistencies, starting with SIGSEGV potentially arriving not where it should and including e.g. mess with sigsuspend(); consider two pending signals blocked until sigsuspend() unblocks them. We pick the first one; then, if we are hit by interrupt while in the handler, we process the second one as well. If we are not, and if no syscalls had been made, we get out of the first handler and leave the second signal pending; normally sigreturn() would've picked it anyway, but here it starts with restoring the original mask and voila - the second signal is blocked again. On everything else we get both delivered consistently. It's actually easy to fix; the only thing to watch out for is prevention of double syscall restart. Fortunately, the idea I've nicked from arm fix by rmk works just fine... Testcase demonstrating the behaviour in question; on alpha we get one or both flags set (usually one), on everything else both are always set. #include <signal.h> #include <stdio.h> int had1, had2; void f1(int sig) { had1 = 1; } void f2(int sig) { had2 = 1; } main() { sigset_t set1, set2; sigemptyset(&set1); sigemptyset(&set2); sigaddset(&set2, 1); sigaddset(&set2, 2); signal(1, f1); signal(2, f2); sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, &set2, NULL); raise(1); raise(2); sigsuspend(&set1); printf("had1:%d had2:%d\n", had1, had2); } Tested-by: Michael Cree <mcree@orcon.net.nz> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Matt Turner <mattst88@gmail.com>
2010-09-18alpha: fix a 14 years old bug in sigreturn tracingAl Viro
The way sigreturn() is implemented on alpha breaks PTRACE_SYSCALL, all way back to 1.3.95 when alpha has grown PTRACE_SYSCALL support. What happens is direct return to ret_from_syscall, in order to bypass mangling of a3 (error indicator) and prevent other mutilations of registers (e.g. by syscall restart). That's fine, but... the entire TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE codepath is kept separate on alpha and post-syscall stopping/notifying the tracer is after the syscall. And the normal path we are forcibly switching to doesn't have it. So we end up with *one* stop in traced sigreturn() vs. two in other syscalls. And yes, strace is visibly broken by that; try to strace the following #include <signal.h> #include <stdio.h> void f(int sig) {} main() { signal(SIGHUP, f); raise(SIGHUP); write(1, "eeeek\n", 6); } and watch the show. The close(1) = 405 in the end of strace output is coming from return value of write() (6 == __NR_close on alpha) and syscall number of exit_group() (__NR_exit_group == 405 there). The fix is fairly simple - the only thing we end up missing is the call of syscall_trace() and we can tell whether we'd been called from the SYSCALL_TRACE path by checking ra value. Since we are setting the switch_stack up (that's what sys_sigreturn() does), we have the right environment for calling syscall_trace() - just before we call undo_switch_stack() and return. Since undo_switch_stack() will overwrite s0 anyway, we can use it to store the result of "has it been called from SYSCALL_TRACE path?" check. The same thing applies in rt_sigreturn().

2010-09-18alpha: unb0rk sigsuspend() and rt_sigsuspend()Al Viro
Old code used to set regs->r0 and regs->r19 to force the right return value. Leaving that after switch to ERESTARTNOHAND was a Bad Idea(tm), since now that screws the restart - if we hit the case when get_signal_to_deliver() returns 0, we will step back to syscall insn, with v0 set to EINTR and a3 to 1. The latter won't matter, since EINTR is 4, aka __NR_write. Testcase: #include <signal.h> #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/syscall.h> main() { sigset_t mask; sigemptyset(&mask); sigaddset(&mask, SIGCONT); sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, &mask, NULL); kill(0, SIGCONT); syscall(__NR_sigsuspend, 1, "b0rken\n", 7); } results on alpha in immediate message to stdout... Fix is obvious; moreover, since we don't need regs anymore, we can switch to normal prototypes for these guys and lose the wrappers. Even better, rt_sigsuspend() is identical to generic version in kernel/signal.c now.

2010-09-17arm: fix really nasty sigreturn bugAl Viro
If a signal hits us outside of a syscall and another gets delivered when we are in sigreturn (e.g. because it had been in sa_mask for the first one and got sent to us while we'd been in the first handler), we have a chance of returning from the second handler to location one insn prior to where we ought to return. If r0 happens to contain -513 (-ERESTARTNOINTR), sigreturn will get confused into doing restart syscall song and dance. Incredible joy to debug, since it manifests as random, infrequent and very hard to reproduce double execution of instructions in userland code... The fix is simple - mark it "don't bother with restarts" in wrapper, i.e. set r8 to 0 in sys_sigreturn and sys_rt_sigreturn wrappers, suppressing the syscall restart handling on return from these guys. They can't legitimately return a restart-worthy error anyway. Testcase: #include <unistd.h> #include <signal.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <sys/time.h> #include <errno.h> void f(int n) { __asm__ __volatile__( "ldr r0, [%0]\n" "b 1f\n" "b 2f\n" "1:b .\n" "2:\n" : : "r"(&n)); } void handler1(int sig) { } void handler2(int sig) { raise(1); } void handler3(int sig) { exit(0); } main() { struct sigaction s = {.sa_handler = handler2}; struct itimerval t1 = { .it_value = {1} }; struct itimerval t2 = { .it_value = {2} }; signal(1, handler1); sigemptyset(&s.sa_mask); sigaddset(&s.sa_mask, 1); sigaction(SIGALRM, &s, NULL); signal(SIGVTALRM, handler3); setitimer(ITIMER_REAL, &t1, NULL); setitimer(ITIMER_VIRTUAL, &t2, NULL); f(-513); /* -ERESTARTNOINTR */ write(1, "buggered\n", 9); return 1; } Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Acked-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2010-09-17firewire: nosy: fix build when CONFIG_FIREWIRE=NStefan Richter
drivers/firewire/nosy* is a stand-alone driver that does not depend on CONFIG_FIREWIRE. Hence let make descend into drivers/firewire/ also if that option is off. The stand-alone driver drivers/ieee1394/init_ohci1394_dma* will soon be moved into drivers/firewire/ too and will require the same makefile fix. Side effect: As mentioned in https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=586172#c24 this influences the order in which either firewire-ohci or ohci1394 is going to be bound to an OHCI-1394 controller in case of a modular build of both drivers if no modprobe blacklist entries are configured. However, a user of such a setup cannot expect deterministic behavior anyway. The Kconfig help and the migration guide at ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org recommend blacklist entries when a dual IEEE 1394 stack build is being used. (The coexistence period of the two stacks is planned to end soon.) Cc: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

The PCM proc files may open a race against substream close, which can end up with an Oops. Use the open_mutex to protect for it. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
