2009-03-27Parse mount options just once and copy them to super blockSukadev Bhattiprolu
Since all the mount option parsing is done in devpts, we could do it just once and pass it around in devpts functions and eventually store it in the super block. Signed-off-by: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2009-03-27Unroll essentials of do_remount_sb() into devptsSukadev Bhattiprolu
On remount, devpts fs only needs to parse the mount options. Users cannot directly create/dirty files in /dev/pts so the MS_RDONLY flag and shrinking the dcache does not really apply to devpts. So effectively on remount, devpts only parses the mount options and updates these options in its super block. As such, we could replace do_remount_sb() call with a direct parse_mount_options(). Doing so enables subsequent patches to avoid parsing the mount options twice and simplify the code.

2009-03-27vfs: simple_set_mnt() should return voidSukadev Bhattiprolu
simple_set_mnt() is defined as returning 'int' but always returns 0. Callers assume simple_set_mnt() never fails and don't properly cleanup if it were to _ever_ fail. For instance, get_sb_single() and get_sb_nodev() should: up_write(sb->s_unmount); deactivate_super(sb); if simple_set_mnt() fails. Since simple_set_mnt() never fails, would be cleaner if it did not return anything.

2009-03-27ufs: don't truncate longer ufs2 fast symlinksDuane Griffin
ufs2 fast symlinks can be twice as long as ufs ones, however the code was using the ufs size in various places. Fix that so ufs2 symlinks over 60 characters aren't truncated. Note that we copy the entire area instead of using the maxsymlinklen field from the superblock. This way we will be more robust against corruption (of the superblock). While we are at it, use memcpy instead of open-coding it with for loops. Signed-off-by: Duane Griffin <duaneg@dghda.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2009-03-27generic compat_sys_ustatChristoph Hellwig
Due to a different size of ino_t ustat needs a compat handler, but currently only x86 and mips provide one. Add a generic compat_sys_ustat and switch all architectures over to it. Instead of doing various user copy hacks compat_sys_ustat just reimplements sys_ustat as it's trivial. This was suggested by Arnd Bergmann. Found by Eric Sandeen when running xfstests/017 on ppc64, which causes stack smashing warnings on RHEL/Fedora due to the too large amount of data writen by the syscall.

With a sufficiently new compiler and binutils, code which wasn't previously generating .eh_frame sections has begun to. Certain architectures (powerpc, in this case) may generate unexpected relocation formats in response to this, preventing modules from loading. While the new relocation types should probably be handled, revert to the previous behaviour with regards to generation of .eh_frame sections.

2009-03-23fix ptrace slownessMiklos Szeredi
This patch fixes bug #12208: Bug-Entry : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12208 Subject : uml is very slow on 2.6.28 host This turned out to be not a scheduler regression, but an already existing problem in ptrace being triggered by subtle scheduler changes. The problem is this: - task A is ptracing task B - task B stops on a trace event - task A is woken up and preempts task B - task A calls ptrace on task B, which does ptrace_check_attach() - this calls wait_task_inactive(), which sees that task B is still on the runq - task A goes to sleep for a jiffy - ... Since UML does lots of the above sequences, those jiffies quickly add up to make it slow as hell. This patch solves this by not rescheduling in read_unlock() after ptrace_stop() has woken up the tracer. Thanks to Oleg Nesterov and Ingo Molnar for the feedback.

Also, since we fully construct phy_bus_id in the _probe() routine, we no longer need ->phy_address and ->mdio_bus fields in ucc_geth_info structure. I wish the patch would be a bit shorter, but it seems like the only way to fix the issue in a sane way. Luckily, the patch has been tested with real PHYs and fixed-link, so no further regressions expected.

2009-03-22dm9000: locking bugfixDavid Brownell
This fixes a locking bug in the dm9000 driver. It calls request_irq() without setting IRQF_DISABLED ... which is correct for handlers that support IRQ sharing, since that behavior is not guaranteed for shared IRQs. However, its IRQ handler then wrongly assumes that IRQs are blocked. So the fix just uses the right spinlock primitives in the IRQ handler. NOTE: this is a classic example of the type of bug which lockdep currently masks by forcibly setting IRQF_DISABLED on IRQ handlers that did not request that flag.

2009-03-22eCryptfs: Allocate a variable number of pages for file headersTyler Hicks
When allocating the memory used to store the eCryptfs header contents, a single, zeroed page was being allocated with get_zeroed_page(). However, the size of an eCryptfs header is either PAGE_CACHE_SIZE or ECRYPTFS_MINIMUM_HEADER_EXTENT_SIZE (8192), whichever is larger, and is stored in the file's private_data->crypt_stat->num_header_bytes_at_front field. ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents() was using num_header_bytes_at_front to decide how many bytes should be written to the lower filesystem for the file header. Unfortunately, at least 8K was being written from the page, despite the chance of the single, zeroed page being smaller than 8K. This resulted in random areas of kernel memory being written between the 0x1000 and 0x1FFF bytes offsets in the eCryptfs file headers if PAGE_SIZE was 4K. This patch allocates a variable number of pages, calculated with num_header_bytes_at_front, and passes the number of allocated pages along to ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents(). Thanks to Florian Streibelt for reporting the data leak and working with me to find the problem. 2.6.28 is the only kernel release with this vulnerability.

2009-03-22radeonfb: Whack the PCI PM register until it sticksBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This fixes a regression introduced when we switched to using the core pci_set_power_state(). The chip seems to need the state to be written over and over again until it sticks, so we do that. Note that the code is a bit blunt, without timeout, etc... but that's pretty much because I put back in there the code exactly as it used to be before the regression. I still add a call to pci_set_power_state() at the end so that ACPI gets called appropriately on x86.
