2011-07-14x86-64: Move vread_tsc and vread_hpet into the vDSOAndy Lutomirski
The vsyscall page now consists entirely of trap instructions. Cc: John Stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@mit.edu> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/637648f303f2ef93af93bae25186e9a1bea093f5.1310639973.git.luto@mit.edu Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@linux.intel.com>
2011-07-13clocksource: Replace vread with generic arch dataAndy Lutomirski
The vread field was bloating struct clocksource everywhere except x86_64, and I want to change the way this works on x86_64, so let's split it out into per-arch data.

2011-06-07x86-64: Emulate legacy vsyscallsAndy Lutomirski
There's a fair amount of code in the vsyscall page. It contains a syscall instruction (in the gettimeofday fallback) and who knows what will happen if an exploit jumps into the middle of some other code. Reduce the risk by replacing the vsyscalls with short magic incantations that cause the kernel to emulate the real vsyscalls. These incantations are useless if entered in the middle. This causes vsyscalls to be a little more expensive than real syscalls. Fortunately sensible programs don't use them. The only exception is time() which is still called by glibc through the vsyscall - but calling time() millions of times per second is not sensible. glibc has this fixed in the development tree. This patch is not perfect: the vread_tsc and vread_hpet functions are still at a fixed address. Fixing that might involve making alternative patching work in the vDSO.

2011-06-05x86-64: Remove kernel.vsyscall64 sysctlAndy Lutomirski
It's unnecessary overhead in code that's supposed to be highly optimized. Removing it allows us to remove one of the two syscall instructions in the vsyscall page. The only sensible use for it is for UML users, and it doesn't fully address inconsistent vsyscall results on UML. The real fix for UML is to stop using vsyscalls entirely.

2011-06-04Revert "tty: make receive_buf() return the amout of bytes received"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit b1c43f82c5aa265442f82dba31ce985ebb7aa71c. It was broken in so many ways, and results in random odd pty issues. It re-introduced the buggy schedule_work() in flush_to_ldisc() that can cause endless work-loops (see commit a5660b41af6a: "tty: fix endless work loop when the buffer fills up"). It also used an "unsigned int" return value fo the ->receive_buf() function, but then made multiple functions return a negative error code, and didn't actually check for the error in the caller. And it didn't actually work at all. BenH bisected down odd tty behavior to it: "It looks like the patch is causing some major malfunctions of the X server for me, possibly related to PTYs. For example, cat'ing a large file in a gnome terminal hangs the kernel for -minutes- in a loop of what looks like flush_to_ldisc/workqueue code, (some ftrace data in the quoted bits further down). ... Some more data: It -looks- like what happens is that the flush_to_ldisc work queue entry constantly re-queues itself (because the PTY is full ?) and the workqueue thread will basically loop forver calling it without ever scheduling, thus starving the consumer process that could have emptied the PTY." which is pretty much exactly the problem we fixed in a5660b41af6a. Milton Miller pointed out the 'unsigned int' issue.

2011-06-03UBIFS: fix clean znode counter corruption in error casesArtem Bityutskiy
UBIFS maintains per-filesystem and global clean znode counters ('c->clean_zn_cnt' and 'ubifs_clean_zn_cnt'). It is important to maintain correct values there since the shrinker relies on 'ubifs_clean_zn_cnt'. However, in case of failures during commit the counters were corrupted. E.g., if a failure happens in the middle of 'write_index()', then some nodes in the commit list ('c->cnext') are marked as clean, and some are marked as dirty. And the 'ubifs_destroy_tnc_subtree()' frees does not retrun correct count, and we end up with non-zero 'c->clean_zn_cnt' when unmounting. This means that if we have 2 file-sytem and one of them fails, and we unmount it, 'ubifs_clean_zn_cnt' stays incorrect and confuses the shrinker.

UBIFS leaks memory on error path in 'ubifs_jnl_update()' in case of write failure because it forgets to free the 'struct ubifs_dent_node *dent' object. Although the object is small, the alignment can make it large - e.g., 2KiB if the min. I/O unit is 2KiB. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org
2011-06-03UBIFS: fix shrinker object count reportsArtem Bityutskiy
Sometimes VM asks the shrinker to return amount of objects it can shrink, and we return the ubifs_clean_zn_cnt in that case. However, it is possible that this counter is negative for a short period of time, due to the way UBIFS TNC code updates it. And I can observe the following warnings sometimes: shrink_slab: ubifs_shrinker+0x0/0x2b7 [ubifs] negative objects to delete nr=-8541616642706119788 This patch makes sure UBIFS never returns negative count of objects.

2011-06-02net: tracepoint of net_dev_xmit sees freed skb and causes panicKoki Sanagi
Because there is a possibility that skb is kfree_skb()ed and zero cleared after ndo_start_xmit, we should not see the contents of skb like skb->len and skb->dev->name after ndo_start_xmit. But trace_net_dev_xmit does that and causes panic by NULL pointer dereference. This patch fixes trace_net_dev_xmit not to see the contents of skb directly. If you want to reproduce this panic, 1. Get tracepoint of net_dev_xmit on 2. Create 2 guests on KVM 2. Make 2 guests use virtio_net 4. Execute netperf from one to another for a long time as a network burden 5. host will panic(It takes about 30 minutes) Signed-off-by: Koki Sanagi <sanagi.koki@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-06-02ktest: Ignore unset values of the minconfig in config_bisectSteven Rostedt
By ignoring the unset values of the minconfig in deciding what to test in the config_bisect can cause the problem config from being tested too. Just do not test the configs that are set in the minconfig. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-06-02ktest: Fix result of rebooting the kernelSteven Rostedt
The command that is called that reboots the kernel may fail but the return code is not passed back to the ktest.pl script. This is because a ';' is used between the two commands and if the second command fails, only the first command's return code is returned. Using a '&&' between the two commands fixes this.

2011-06-02ktest: Fix off-by-one in config bisect resultSteven Rostedt
Because in perl the array size returned by $#arr, is the last index and not the actually size of the array, we end the config bisect early, thinking there is only one config left when there are in fact two. Thus the result has a 50% chance of picking the correct config that caused the problem. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2011-06-02[SCSI] Fix oops caused by queue refcounting failureJames Bottomley
In certain circumstances, we can get an oops from a torn down device. Most notably this is from CD roms trying to call scsi_ioctl. The root cause of the problem is the fact that after scsi_remove_device() has been called, the queue is fully torn down. This is actually wrong since the queue can be used until the sdev release function is called. Therefore, we add an extra reference to the queue which is released in sdev->release, so the queue always exists.

2011-06-02drivers/net/can/flexcan.c: add missing clk_putJulia Lawall
The failed_get label is used after the call to clk_get has succeeded, so it should be moved up above the call to clk_put. The failed_req labels doesn't do anything different than failed_get, so delete it. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r exists@ expression e1,e2; statement S; @@ e1 = clk_get@p1(...); ... when != e1 = e2 when != clk_put(e1) when any if (...) { ... when != clk_put(e1) when != if (...) { ... clk_put(e1) ... } * return@p3 ...; } else S // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-06-01net: dm9000: Get the chip in a known good state before enabling interruptsMark Brown
Currently the DM9000 driver requests the primary interrupt before it resets the chip and puts it into a known good state. This means that if the chip is asserting interrupt for some reason we can end up with a screaming IRQ that the interrupt handler is unable to deal with. Avoid this by only requesting the interrupt after we've reset the chip so we know what state it's in. This started manifesting itself on one of my boards in the past month or so, I suspect as a result of some core infrastructure changes removing some form of mitigation against bad behaviour here, even when things boot it seems that the new code brings the interface up more quickly.

2011-06-01af-packet: Add flag to distinguish VID 0 from no-vlan.Ben Greear
Currently, user-space cannot determine if a 0 tcp_vlan_tci means there is no VLAN tag or the VLAN ID was zero. Add flag to make this explicit. User-space can check for TP_STATUS_VLAN_VALID || tp_vlan_tci > 0, which will be backwards compatible. Older could would have just checked for tp_vlan_tci, so it will work no worse than before.
