set memory ranges in N_NORMAL_MEMORY when onlined

2012-03-14T14:57:26Z

commit d9b41e0b54fd7e164daf1e9c539c1070398aa02e upstream. When a DISCONTIGMEM memory range is brought online as a NUMA node, it also needs to have its bet set in N_NORMAL_MEMORY. This is necessary for generic kernel code that utilizes N_NORMAL_MEMORY as a subset of N_ONLINE for memory savings. These types of hacks can hopefully be removed once DISCONTIGMEM is either removed or abstracted away from CONFIG_NUMA. Fixes a panic in the slub code which only initializes structures for N_NORMAL_MEMORY to save memory: Backtrace: [<000000004021c938>] add_partial+0x28/0x98 [<000000004021faa0>] __slab_free+0x1d0/0x1d8 [<000000004021fd04>] kmem_cache_free+0xc4/0x128 [<000000004033bf9c>] ida_get_new_above+0x21c/0x2c0 [<00000000402a8980>] sysfs_new_dirent+0xd0/0x238 [<00000000402a974c>] create_dir+0x5c/0x168 [<00000000402a9ab0>] sysfs_create_dir+0x98/0x128 [<000000004033d6c4>] kobject_add_internal+0x114/0x258 [<000000004033d9ac>] kobject_add_varg+0x7c/0xa0 [<000000004033df20>] kobject_add+0x50/0x90 [<000000004033dfb4>] kobject_create_and_add+0x54/0xc8 [<00000000407862a0>] cgroup_init+0x138/0x1f0 [<000000004077ce50>] start_kernel+0x5a0/0x840 [<000000004011fa3c>] start_parisc+0xa4/0xb8 [<00000000404bb034>] packet_ioctl+0x16c/0x208 [<000000004049ac30>] ip_mroute_setsockopt+0x260/0xf20 Signed-off-by: David Rientjes Signed-off-by: James Bottomley Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

parisc : Remove broken line wrapping handling pdc_iodc_print()

2011-06-26T16:46:32Z

commit fbea668498e93bb38ac9226c7af9120a25957375 upstream. Remove the broken line wrapping handling in pdc_iodc_print(). It is broken in 3 ways : - It doesn't keep track of the current screen position, it just assumes that the new buffer will be printed at the begining of the screen. - It doesn't take in account that non printable characters won't increase the current position on the screen. - And last but not least, it triggers a kernel panic if a backspace is the first char in the provided buffer : Backtrace: [<0000000040128ec4>] pdc_console_write+0x44/0x78 [<0000000040128f18>] pdc_console_tty_write+0x20/0x38 [<000000004032f1ac>] n_tty_write+0x2a4/0x550 [<000000004032b158>] tty_write+0x1e0/0x2d8 [<00000000401bb420>] vfs_write+0xb8/0x188 [<00000000401bb630>] sys_write+0x68/0xb8 [<0000000040104eb8>] syscall_exit+0x0/0x14 Most terminals handle the line wrapping just fine.

compat: Make compat_alloc_user_space() incorporate the access_ok()

2011-01-06T23:07:49Z

commit c41d68a513c71e35a14f66d71782d27a79a81ea6 upstream. compat_alloc_user_space() expects the caller to independently call access_ok() to verify the returned area. A missing call could introduce problems on some architectures. This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length. The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the implementation of the new global function. This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either fail or access userspace on all architectures. This should be followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space() for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers can also be removed.

parisc: pass through '\t' to early (iodc) console

2010-08-10T17:54:07Z

commit d9b68e5e88248bb24fd4e455588bea1d56108fd6 upstream. The firmware handles '\t' internally, so stop trying to emulate it (which, incidentally, had a bug in it.) Fixes a really weird hang at bootup in rcu_bootup_announce, which, as far as I can tell, is the first printk in the core kernel to use a tab as the first character.

commit 550f0d922286556c7ea43974bb7921effb5a5278 upstream. 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. Fixes debian bug #559406.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32Z

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

ptrace: move user_enable_single_step & co prototypes to linux/ptrace.h

2010-03-12T23:52:38Z

While in theory user_enable_single_step/user_disable_single_step/ user_enable_blockstep could also be provided as an inline or macro there's no good reason to do so, and having the prototype in one places keeps code size and confusion down. Roland said: The original thought there was that user_enable_single_step() et al might well be only an instruction or three on a sane machine (as if we have any of those!), and since there is only one call site inlining would be beneficial. But I agree that there is no strong reason to care about inlining it. As to the arch changes, there is only one thought I'd add to the record. It was always my thinking that for an arch where PTRACE_SINGLESTEP does text-modifying breakpoint insertion, user_enable_single_step() should not be provided. That is, arch_has_single_step()=>true means that there is an arch facility with "pure" semantics that does not have any unexpected side effects. Inserting a breakpoint might do very unexpected strange things in multi-threaded situations. Aside from that, it is a peculiar side effect that user_{enable,disable}_single_step() should cause COW de-sharing of text pages and so forth. For PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, all these peculiarities are the status quo ante for that arch, so having arch_ptrace() itself do those is one thing. But for building other things in the future, it is nicer to have a uniform "pure" semantics that arch-independent code can expect. OTOH, all such arch issues are really up to the arch maintainer. As of today, there is nothing but ptrace using user_enable_single_step() et al so it's a distinction without a practical difference. If/when there are other facilities that use user_enable_single_step() and might care, the affected arch's can revisit the question when someone cares about the quality of the arch support for said new facility.
