Stack protector support was not detected when building with
ARCH=i386 on x86_64 systems:
arch/x86/Makefile:80: stack protector enabled but no compiler support
The "-m32" argument needs to be passed to the detection script.

This is a partial revert of f1f029c7bfbf4ee1918b90a431ab823bed812504.
"=rm" is allowed in this context, because "pop" is explicitly defined
to adjust the stack pointer *before* it evaluates its effective
address, if it has one. Thus, we do end up writing to the correct
address even if we use an on-stack memory argument.
The original reporter for f1f029c7bfbf4ee1918b90a431ab823bed812504 was
apparently using a broken x86 simulator.

binutils prior to 2.17 can't deal with the currently possible
situation of a new segment following the per-CPU segment, but
that new segment being empty - objcopy misplaces the .bss (and
perhaps also the .brk) sections outside of any segment.
However, the current ordering of sections really just appears
to be the effect of cumulative unrelated changes; re-ordering
things allows to easily guarantee that the segment following
the per-CPU one is non-empty, and at once eliminates the need
for the bogus data.init2 segment.
Once touching this code, also use the various data section
helper macros from include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h.

This line looks suspicious, because if this is true, then the

unused when !CONFIG_NUMA. I don't think this is what we want.

Some of the NOPs tables aren't used on 64-bits, quite some code and
data is needed post-init for module loading only, and a couple of
functions aren't used outside that file (i.e. can be static, and don't
need to be exported).
The change to __INITDATA/__INITRODATA is needed to avoid an assembler
warning.

Commit 0e83815be719d3391bf5ea24b7fe696c07dbd417 changed the
section the initial_code variable gets allocated in, in an
attempt to address a section conflict warning. This, however
created a new section conflict when building without
HOTPLUG_CPU. The apparently only (reasonable) way to address
this is to always use __REFDATA.
Once at it, also fix a second section mismatch when not using
HOTPLUG_CPU.

PAT code maps the ISA memory range as WB in the PAT attribute, so that
fixed range MTRR registers define the actual memory type (UC/WC/WT etc).
But the upper level is_new_memtype_allowed() API checks are failing,
as the request here is for UC and the return tracked type is WB (Tracked type is
WB as MTRR type for this legacy range potentially will be different for each
4k page).
Fix is_new_memtype_allowed() by always succeeding the ISA address range
checks, as the null PAT (WB) and def MTRR fixed range register settings
satisfy the memory type needs of the applications that map the ISA address
range.

An older test-box started hanging at the following point during
bootup:
[ 0.022996] Mount-cache hash table entries: 512
[ 0.024996] Initializing cgroup subsys debug
[ 0.025996] Initializing cgroup subsys cpuacct
[ 0.026995] Initializing cgroup subsys devices
[ 0.027995] Initializing cgroup subsys freezer
[ 0.028995] mce: CPU supports 5 MCE banks
I've bisected it down to commit 4efc0670 ("x86, mce: use 64bit
machine check code on 32bit"), which utilizes the MCE code on
32-bit systems too.
The problem is caused by this detail in my config:
# CONFIG_CPU_SUP_INTEL is not set
This disables the quirks in mce_cpu_quirks() but still enables
MCE support - which then hangs due to the missing quirk
workaround needed on this CPU:
if (c->x86 == 6 && c->x86_model < 0x1A && banks > 0)
mce_banks[0].init = 0;
The safe solution is to not initialize MCEs if we dont know on
what CPU we are running (or if that CPU's support code got
disabled in the config).
Also be a bit more defensive on 32-bit systems: dont do a
boot-time dump of pending MCEs not just on the specific system
that we found a problem with (Pentium-M), but earlier ones as
well.
Now this problem is probably not common and disabling CPU
support is rare - but still being more defensive in something
we turned on for a wide range of CPUs is prudent.

On my legacy Pentium M laptop (Acer Extensa 2900) I get bogus MCE on a cold
boot with CONFIG_X86_NEW_MCE enabled, i.e. (after decoding it with mcelog):
MCE 0
HARDWARE ERROR. This is *NOT* a software problem!
Please contact your hardware vendor
CPU 0 BANK 1 MCG status:
MCi status:
Error overflow
Uncorrected error
Error enabled
Processor context corrupt
MCA: Data CACHE Level-1 UNKNOWN Error
STATUS f200000000000195 MCGSTATUS 0
[ The other STATUS values observed: f2000000000001b5 (... UNKNOWN error)
and f200000000000115 (... READ Error).
To verify that this is not a CONFIG_X86_NEW_MCE bug I also modified
the CONFIG_X86_OLD_MCE code (which doesn't log any MCEs) to dump
content of STATUS MSR before it is cleared during initialization. ]
Since the bogus MCE results in a kernel taint (which in turn disables
lockdep support) don't log boot MCEs on Pentium M (model == 13) CPUs
by default ("mce=bootlog" boot parameter can be be used to get the old
behavior).

free_irq() can remove an irqaction while the corresponding interrupt
is in progress, but free_irq() sets action->thread to NULL
unconditionally, which might lead to a NULL pointer dereference in
handle_IRQ_event() when the hard interrupt context tries to wake up
the handler thread.
Prevent this by moving the thread stop after synchronize_irq(). No
need to set action->thread to NULL either as action is going to be
freed anyway.
This fixes a boot crash reported against preempt-rt which uses the
mainline irq threads code to implement full irq threading.

kernel_sendpage() does the proper default case handling for when the
socket doesn't have a native sendpage implementation.
Now, arguably this might be something that we could instead solve by
just specifying that all protocols should do it themselves at the
protocol level, but we really only care about the common protocols.
Does anybody really care about sendpage on something like Appletalk? Not
likely.

A bug in (9f498cc: perf_counter: Full task tracing) makes
profiling multi-threaded apps it go belly up.

# ./perf report -D | grep FORK

0xb18 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3241):(3236:3236)
Shows us that the test (27d028d perf report: Update for the new
FORK/EXIT events) in builtin-report.c:
/*
* A thread clone will have the same PID for both
* parent and child.
*/
if (thread == parent)
return 0;
Will clearly fail.
The problem is that perf_counter_fork() reports the actual
parent, instead of the cloning thread.
Fixing that (with the below patch), yields:
# ./perf report -D | grep FORK
0x4c8 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1590):(1589:1589)
0xbd8 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1591):(1590:1590)

0x66b0 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1594):(1590:1590)

perf_pending_counter() is called from IRQ context and will call
perf_counter_disable(), however perf_counter_disable() uses
smp_call_function_single() which doesn't fancy being used with
IRQs disabled due to IPI deadlocks.
Fix this by making it use the local __perf_counter_disable()
call and teaching the counter_sched_out() code about pending
disables as well.
This should cover the case where a counter migrates before the
pending queue gets processed.

perf_swcounter_is_counting() uses a lock, which means we cannot
use swcounters from NMI or when holding that particular lock,
this is unintended.
The below removes the lock, this opens up race window, but not
worse than the swcounters already experience due to RCU
traversal of the context in perf_swcounter_ctx_event().
This also fixes the hard lockups while opening a lockdep
tracepoint counter.

Add a new flag field while opening a tracepoint perf counter:
-e tracepoint_subsystem:tracepoint_name:flags
This is intended to be generic although for now it only supports the
r[e[c[o[r[d]]]]] flag:
./perf record -e workqueue:workqueue_insertion:record
./perf record -e workqueue:workqueue_insertion:r
will have the same effect: enabling the raw samples record for
the given tracepoint counter.
In the future, we may want to support further flags, separated

Also export perf_counter_output() to architecture code.

Convert the processor platform device setup
functions from __initcall() and sometimes
device_initcall() to arch_initcall().
This makes sure that the platform devices are
registered a bit earlier so the devices are
available when drivers register using initcall
levels earlier than device_initcall().
A good example is platform devices needed by
i2c-sh_mobile.c which registers a bit earlier
using subsys_initcall().

Normally we only allow the upper limit for a reshape to be decreased
when the array not performing a sync/recovery/reshape, otherwise there
could be races. But if an array is part-way through a reshape when it
is assembled the reshape is started immediately leaving no window
to set an upper bound.
If the array is started read-only, the reshape will be suspended until
the array becomes writable, so that provides a window during which it
is perfectly safe to reduce the upper limit of a reshape.
So: allow the upper limit (sync_max) to be reduced even if the reshape
thread is running, as long as the array is still read-only.

We were removing the drives, from the array, but not
removing symlinks from /sys/.... and not marking the device
as having been removed.

This "if" don't allow for the possibility that the number of devices
doesn't change, and so sector_nr isn't set correctly in that case.
So change '>' to '>='.

md/raid5 doesn't allow a reshape to restart if it involves writing
over the same part of disk that it would be reading from.
This happens at the beginning of a reshape that increases the number
of devices, at the end of a reshape that decreases the number of
devices, and continuously for a reshape that does not change the
number of devices.
The current code is correct for the "increase number of devices"
case as the critical section at the start is handled by userspace
performing a backup.
It does not work for reducing the number of devices, or the
no-change case.
For 'reducing', we need to invert the test. For no-change we cannot
really be sure things will be safe, so simply require the array
to be read-only, which is how the user-space code which carefully
starts such arrays works.

When assembling arrays, md allows two devices to have different event
counts as long as the difference is only '1'. This is to cope with
a system failure between updating the metadata on two difference
devices.
However there are currently times when we update the event count by
2. This was done to keep the event count even when the array is clean
and odd when it is dirty, which allows us to avoid writing common
update to spare devices and so allow those spares to go to sleep.
This is bad for the above reason. So change it to never increase by
two. This means that the alignment between 'odd/even' and
'clean/dirty' might take a little longer to attain, but that is only a
small cost. The spares will get a few more updates but that will
still be spared (;-) most updates and can still go to sleep.
Prior to this patch there was a small chance that after a crash an
array would fail to assemble due to the overly large event count
mismatch.

Remove double removal of blktrace directory
|
|
commit fd51d251e4cdb21f68e9dbc4336514d64a105a79
Author: Stefan Raspl <raspl@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Date: Tue May 19 09:59:08 2009 +0200
blktrace: remove debugfs entries on bad path
added in an explicit invocation of debugfs_remove for bt->dir, in
blk_remove_buf_file_callback we are also getting the directory removed. On
occasion I am seeing memory corruption that I have bisected down to
this commit. [The testing involves a (long) series of I/O benchmarks
with blktrace invoked around the actual runs.] I believe that this
committed patch is correct, but the problem actually lies in the code
in blk_remove_buf_file_callback.
With this patch I am able to consistently get complete runs whereas
previously I could not get a single run to complete.
The first part of the patch simply moves the debugfs_remove below the
relay_close: the relay_close call will remove files under bt->dir, and
so we should not remove the directory until all the files we created
have been removed. (Note: This is not sufficient to fix the problem -
the file system code has ref counts on the directoy, so our invocation
does not cause the directory to actually be removed. Nonetheless, we
should not rely upon that feature.)

We can't call nfs_readdata_release()/nfs_writedata_release() without
first initialising and referencing args.context. Doing so inside
nfs_direct_read_schedule_segment()/nfs_direct_write_schedule_segment()
causes an Oops.
We should rather be calling nfs_readdata_free()/nfs_writedata_free() in
those cases.
Looking at the O_DIRECT code, the "struct nfs_direct_req" is already
referencing the nfs_open_context for us. Since the readdata and writedata
structures carry a reference to that, we can simplify things by getting rid
of the extra nfs_open_context references, so that we can replace all
instances of nfs_readdata_release()/nfs_writedata_release().
