2008-10-04clockevents: check broadcast tick device not the clock events deviceThomas Gleixner
Impact: jiffies increment too fast. Hugh Dickins noted that with NOHZ=n and HIGHRES=n jiffies get incremented too fast. The reason is a wrong check in the broadcast enter/exit code, which keeps the local apic timer in periodic mode when the switch happens. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

2008-10-03ACPI: Make /proc/acpi/wakeup interface handle PCI devices (again)Rafael J. Wysocki
Make the ACPI /proc/acpi/wakeup interface set the appropriate wake-up bits of physical devices corresponding to the ACPI devices and make those bits be set initially for devices that are enabled to wake up by default. This is needed to restore the 2.6.26 and earlier behavior for the PCI devices that were previously handled correctly with the help of the /proc/acpi/wakeup interface. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2008-10-03leds-pca955x: add proper error handling and fix bogus memory handlingSven Wegener
Check the return value of led_classdev_register and unregister all registered devices, if registering one device fails. Also the dynamic memory handling is totally bogus. You can't allocate multiple chunks via kzalloc() and expect them to be in order later. I wonder how this ever worked.

2008-10-03rtc: fix kernel panic on second use of SIGIO nofiticationMarcin Slusarz
When userspace uses SIGIO notification and forgets to disable it before closing file descriptor, rtc->async_queue contains stale pointer to struct file. When user space enables again SIGIO notification in different process, kernel dereferences this (poisoned) pointer and crashes. So disable SIGIO notification on close.

2008-10-04selinux: Fix an uninitialized variable BUG/panic in selinux_secattr_to_sid()Paul Moore
At some point during the 2.6.27 development cycle two new fields were added to the SELinux context structure, a string pointer and a length field. The code in selinux_secattr_to_sid() was not modified and as a result these two fields were left uninitialized which could result in erratic behavior, including kernel panics, when NetLabel is used. This patch fixes the problem by fully initializing the context in selinux_secattr_to_sid() before use and reducing the level of direct context manipulation done to help prevent future problems. Please apply this to the 2.6.27-rcX release stream. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

2008-10-03[S390] nohz: Fix __udelay.Heiko Carstens
This fixes a regression that came with 934b2857cc576ae53c92a66e63fce7ddcfa74691 ("[S390] nohz/sclp: disable timer on synchronous waits."). If udelay() gets called from a disabled context it sets the clock comparator to a value where it expects the next interrupt. When the interrupt happens the clock comparator gets not reset and therefore the interrupt condition doesn't get cleared. The result is an endless timer interrupt loop. In addition this patch fixes also the following: rcutorture reveals that our __udelay implementation is still buggy, since it might schedule tasklets, but prevents their execution: NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 42 NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02 NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 142 NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02 To fix this we make sure that only the clock comparator interrupt is enabled when the enabled wait psw is loaded. Also no code gets called anymore which might schedule tasklets. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

Rework of SMTC support to make it work with the new clock event system, allowing "tickless" operation, and to make it compatible with the use of the "wait_irqoff" idle loop. The new clocking scheme means that the previously optional IPI instant replay mechanism is now required, and has been made more robust. Signed-off-by: Kevin D.

2008-10-03e1000e: Fix incorrect debug warningLinus Torvalds
Doing 'WARN_ON(preempt_count())' was horribly horribly wrong, and would cause tons of warnings at bootup if PREEMPT was enabled because the initcalls currently run with the kernel lock, which increments the preempt count. At the same time, the warning was also insufficient, since it didn't check that interrupts were enabled.

2008-10-02Check mapped ranges on sysfs resource filesLinus Torvalds
This is loosely based on a patch by Jesse Barnes to check the user-space PCI mappings though the sysfs interfaces. Quoting Jesse's original explanation: It's fairly common for applications to map PCI resources through sysfs. However, with the current implementation, it's possible for an application to map far more than the range corresponding to the resourceN file it opened. This patch plugs that hole by checking the range at mmap time, similar to what is done on platforms like sparc64 in their lower level PCI remapping routines. It was initially put together to help debug the e1000e NVRAM corruption problem, since we initially thought an X driver might be walking past the end of one of its mappings and clobbering the NVRAM. It now looks like that's not the case, but doing the check is still important for obvious reasons. and this version of the patch differs in that it uses a helper function to clarify the code, and does all the checks in pages (instead of bytes) in order to avoid overflows when doing "<< PAGE_SHIFT" etc. Acked-by: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-10-02mm: handle initialising compound pages at orders greater than MAX_ORDERAndy Whitcroft
When we initialise a compound page we initialise the page flags and head page pointer for all base pages spanned by that page. When we initialise a gigantic page (a page of order greater than or equal to MAX_ORDER) we have to initialise more than MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages. Currently we assume that all elements of the mem_map in this page are contigious in memory. However this is only guarenteed out to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages, and with SPARSEMEM enabled they will not be contigious. This leads us to walk off the end of the first section and scribble on everything which follows, BAD. When we reach a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundary we much locate the next section of the mem_map. As gigantic pages can only be maximally aligned we know this will occur at exact multiple of MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages from the start of the page. This is a bug fix for the gigantic page support in hugetlbfs. Credit to Mel Gorman for spotting the issue.

However do_truncate is what caused the lock ordering error, due to it taking i_mutex. In this case, we can actually just call ramfs directly to allocate memory for the mapping, rather than go via truncate.

This patch adds the missing zone->lock to test_pages_isolated(). We reproducibly run into BUG_ON(!PageBuddy(page)) in __offline_isolated_pages() during memory hotplug stress test, see trace below.

2008-10-01MN10300: Fix IRQ handlingDavid Howells
Fix the IRQ handling on the MN10300 arch. This patch makes a number of significant changes: (1) It separates the irq_chip definition for edge-triggered interrupts from the one for level-triggered interrupts. This is necessary because the MN10300 PIC latches the IRQ channel's interrupt request bit (GxICR_REQUEST), even after the device has ceased to assert its interrupt line and the interrupt channel has been disabled in the PIC. So for level-triggered interrupts we need to clear this bit when we re-enable - which is achieved by setting GxICR_DETECT but not GxICR_REQUEST when writing to the register. Not doing this results in spurious interrupts occurring because calling mask_ack() at the start of handle_level_irq() is insufficient - it fails to clear the REQUEST latch because the device that caused the interrupt is still asserting its interrupt line at this point. (2) IRQ disablement [irq_chip::disable_irq()] shouldn't clear the interrupt request flag for edge-triggered interrupts lest it lose an interrupt. (3) IRQ unmasking [irq_chip::unmask_irq()] also shouldn't clear the interrupt request flag for edge-triggered interrupts lest it lose an interrupt. (4) The end() operation is now left to the default (no-operation) as __do_IRQ() is compiled out. This may affect misrouted_irq(), but according to Thomas Gleixner it's the correct thing to do. (5) handle_level_irq() is used for edge-triggered interrupts rather than handle_edge_irq() as the MN10300 PIC latches interrupt events even on masked IRQ channels, thus rendering IRQ_PENDING unnecessary. It is sufficient to call mask_ack() at the start and unmask() at the end. (6) For level-triggered interrupts, ack() is now NULL as it's not used, and there is no effective ACK function on the PIC. mask_ack() is now the same as mask() as the latch continues to latch, even when the channel is masked. Further, the patch discards the disable() op implementation as its now the same as the mask() op implementation, which is used instead. It also discards the enable() op implementations as they're now the same as the unmask() op implementations, which are used instead.
