Somehow (as described below) TS_USEDFPU is set but the fpu is not allocated or freed. Another possible FPU pre-emption issue with the sleazy FPU optimization which was benign before but not so anymore, with the dynamic FPU allocation patch. New task is getting exec'd and it is prempted at the below point. flush_thread() { ... /* * Forget coprocessor state.. */ clear_fpu(tsk); <----- Preemption point clear_used_math(); ... } Now when it context switches in again, as the used_math() is still set and fpu_counter can be > 5, we will do a math_state_restore() which sets the task's TS_USEDFPU. After it continues from the above preemption point it does clear_used_math() and much later free_thread_xstate(). Now, at the next context switch, it is quite possible that xstate is null, used_math() is not set and TS_USEDFPU is still set. This will trigger unlazy_fpu() causing kernel oops. Fix this by clearing tsk's fpu_counter before clearing task's fpu.

2008-06-17x86-64: Fix "bytes left to copy" return value for copy_from_user()Linus Torvalds
Most users by far do not care about the exact return value (they only really care about whether the copy succeeded in its entirety or not), but a few special core routines actually care deeply about exactly how many bytes were copied from user space. And the unrolled versions of the x86-64 user copy routines would sometimes report that it had copied more bytes than it actually had. Very few uses actually have partial copies to begin with, but to make this bug even harder to trigger, most x86 CPU's use the "rep string" instructions for normal user copies, and that version didn't have this issue. To make it even harder to hit, the one user of this that really cared about the return value (and used the uncached version of the copy that doesn't use the "rep string" instructions) was the generic write routine, which pre-populated its source, once more hiding the problem by avoiding the exception case that triggers the bug. In other words, very special thanks to Bron Gondwana who not only triggered this, but created a test-program to show it, and bisected the behavior down to commit 08291429cfa6258c4cd95d8833beb40f828b194e ("mm: fix pagecache write deadlocks") which changed the access pattern just enough that you can now trigger it with 'writev()' with multiple iovec's. That commit itself was not the cause of the bug, it just allowed all the stars to align just right that you could trigger the problem. [ Side note: this is just the minimal fix to make the copy routines (with __copy_from_user_inatomic_nocache as the particular version that was involved in showing this) have the right return values. We really should improve on the exceptional case further - to make the copy do a byte-accurate copy up to the exact page limit that causes it to fail. As it is, the callers have to do extra work to handle the limit case gracefully. ] Reported-by: Bron Gondwana <brong@fastmail.fm> Cc: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Al Viro <viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> (which didn't have this problem), and since most users that do the carethis was very hard to trigger, but

2008-06-12provide rtc_cmos platform deviceStas Sergeev
Recently (around 2.6.25) I've noticed that RTC no longer works for me. It turned out this is because I use pnpacpi=off kernel option to work around the parport_pc bugs. I always did so, but RTC used to work fine in the past, and now it have regressed. The patch fixes the problem by creating the platform device for the RTC when PNP is disabled. This may also help running the PNP-enabled kernel on an older PCs.

It would be interesting to see where the int3 comes from. Too bad, lockdep doesn't provide the register dump.

2008-06-12x86: fix endless page faults in mount_block_root for Linux 2.6Henry Nestler
Page faults in kernel address space between PAGE_OFFSET up to VMALLOC_START should not try to map as vmalloc. Fix rarely endless page faults inside mount_block_root for root filesystem at boot time. All 32bit kernels up to 2.6.25 can fail into this hole. I can not present this under native linux kernel. I see, that the 64bit has fixed the problem. I copied the same lines into 32bit part. Recorded debugs are from coLinux kernel 2.6.22.18 (virtualisation): http://www.henrynestler.com/colinux/testing/pfn-check-0.7.3/20080410-antinx/bug16-recursive-page-fault-endless.txt The physicaly memory was trimmed down to 192MB to better catch the bug. More memory gets the bug more rarely. Details, how every x86 32bit system can fail: Start from "mount_block_root", http://lxr.linux.no/linux/init/do_mounts.c#L297 There the variable "fs_names" got one memory page with 4096 bytes. Variable "p" walks through the existing file system types. The first string is no problem. But, with the second loop in mount_block_root the offset of "p" is not at beginning of page, the offset is for example +9, if "reiserfs" is the first in list. Than calls do_mount_root, and lands in sys_mount. Remember: Variable "type_page" contains now "fs_type+9" and not contains a full page. The sys_mount copies 4096 bytes with function "exact_copy_from_user()": http://lxr.linux.no/linux/fs/namespace.c#L1540 Mostly exist pages after the buffer "fs_names+4096+9" and the page fault handler was not called. No problem. In the case, if the page after "fs_names+4096" is not mapped, the page fault handler was called from http://lxr.linux.no/linux/fs/namespace.c#L1320 The do_page_fault gots an address 0xc03b4000. It's kernel address, address >= TASK_SIZE, but not from vmalloc! It's from "__getname()" alias "kmem_cache_alloc". The "error_code" is 0. "vmalloc_fault" will be call: http://lxr.linux.no/linux/arch/i386/mm/fault.c#L332 "vmalloc_fault" tryed to find the physical page for a non existing virtual memory area. The macro "pte_present" in vmalloc_fault() got a next page fault for 0xc0000ed0 at: http://lxr.linux.no/linux/arch/i386/mm/fault.c#L282 No PTE exist for such virtual address. The page fault handler was trying to sync the physical page for the PTE lockup. This called vmalloc_fault() again for address 0xc000000, and that also was not existing. The endless began... In normal case the cpu would still loop with disabled interrrupts. Under coLinux this was catched by a stack overflow inside printk debugs.

2008-06-12common implementation of iterative div/modJeremy Fitzhardinge
We have a few instances of the open-coded iterative div/mod loop, used when we don't expcet the dividend to be much bigger than the divisor. Unfortunately modern gcc's have the tendency to strength "reduce" this into a full mod operation, which isn't necessarily any faster, and even if it were, doesn't exist if gcc implements it in libgcc. The workaround is to put a dummy asm statement in the loop to prevent gcc from performing the transformation. This patch creates a single implementation of this loop, and uses it to replace the open-coded versions I know about.

This is a SLIT sanity checking patch. It moves slit_valid() function to generic ACPI code and does sanity checking for both x86 and ia64. It sets up node_distance with LOCAL_DISTANCE and REMOTE_DISTANCE when hitting invalid SLIT table on ia64. It also cleans up unused variable localities in acpi_parse_slit() on x86.

2008-06-10x86, pci-dma.c: don't always add __GFP_NORETRY to gfpMiquel van Smoorenburg
Currently arch/x86/kernel/pci-dma.c always adds __GFP_NORETRY to the allocation flags, because it wants to be reasonably sure not to deadlock when calling alloc_pages(). But really that should only be done in two cases: - when allocating memory in the lower 16 MB DMA zone. If there's no free memory there, waiting or OOM killing is of no use - when optimistically trying an allocation in the DMA32 zone when dma_mask < DMA_32BIT_MASK hoping that the allocation happens to fall within the limits of the dma_mask Also blindly adding __GFP_NORETRY to the the gfp variable might not be a good idea since we then also use it when calling dma_ops->alloc_coherent(). Clearing it might also not be a good idea, dma_alloc_coherent()'s caller might have set it on purpose. The gfp variable should not be clobbered.

2008-06-06KVM: x86 emulator: fix hypercall return value on AMDAvi Kivity
The hypercall instructions on Intel and AMD are different. KVM allows the guest to choose one or the other (the default is Intel), and if the guest chooses incorrectly, KVM will patch it at runtime to select the correct instruction. This allows live migration between Intel and AMD machines. This patching occurs in the x86 emulator. The current code also executes the hypercall. Unfortunately, the tail end of the x86 emulator code also executes, overwriting the return value of the hypercall with the original contents of rax (which happens to be the hypercall number). Fix not by executing the hypercall in the emulator context; instead let the guest reissue the patched instruction and execute the hypercall via the normal path.

2008-06-05PCI/x86: fix up PCI stuff so that PCI_GOANY supports OLPCAndres Salomon
Previously, one would have to specifically choose CONFIG_OLPC and CONFIG_PCI_GOOLPC in order to enable PCI_OLPC. That doesn't really work for distro kernels, so this patch allows one to choose CONFIG_OLPC and CONFIG_PCI_GOANY in order to build in OLPC support in a generic kernel (as requested by Robert Millan). This also moves GOOLPC before GOANY in the menuconfig list. Finally, make pci_access_init return early if we detect OLPC hardware. There's no need to continue probing stuff, and pci_pcbios_init specifically trashes our settings (we didn't run into that before because PCI_GOANY wasn't supported).

2008-06-04x86, fpu: fix CONFIG_PREEMPT=y corruption of application's FPU stackSuresh Siddha
Jürgen Mell reported an FPU state corruption bug under CONFIG_PREEMPT, and bisected it to commit v2.6.19-1363-gacc2076, "i386: add sleazy FPU optimization". Add tsk_used_math() checks to prevent calling math_state_restore() which can sleep in the case of !tsk_used_math(). This prevents making a blocking call in __switch_to(). Apparently "fpu_counter > 5" check is not enough, as in some signal handling and fork/exec scenarios, fpu_counter > 5 and !tsk_used_math() is possible. It's a side effect though. This is the failing scenario: process 'A' in save_i387_ia32() just after clear_used_math() Got an interrupt and pre-empted out. At the next context switch to process 'A' again, kernel tries to restore the math state proactively and sees a fpu_counter > 0 and !tsk_used_math() This results in init_fpu() during the __switch_to()'s math_state_restore() And resulting in fpu corruption which will be saved/restored (save_i387_fxsave and restore_i387_fxsave) during the remaining part of the signal handling after the context switch.

2008-06-04x86: fix Xorg crash with xf86MapVidMem errorVenki Pallipadi
Clarify the usage of mtrr_lookup() in PAT code, and to make PAT code resilient to mtrr lookup problems. Specifically, pat_x_mtrr_type() is restructured to highlight, under what conditions we look for mtrr hint. pat_x_mtrr_type() uses a default type when there are any errors in mtrr lookup (still maintaining the pat consistency). And, reserve_memtype() highlights its usage ot mtrr_lookup for request type of '-1' and also defaults in a sane way on any mtrr lookup failure. pat.c looks at mtrr type of a range to get a hint on what mapping type to request when user/API: (1) hasn't specified any type (/dev/mem mapping) and we do not want to take performance hit by always mapping UC_MINUS. This will be the case for /dev/mem mappings used to map BIOS area or ACPI region which are WB'able. In this case, as long as MTRR is not WB, PAT will request UC_MINUS for such mappings. (2) user/API requests WB mapping while in reality MTRR may have UC or WC. In this case, PAT can map as WB (without checking MTRR) and still effective type will be UC or WC. But, a subsequent request to map same region as UC or WC may fail, as the region will get trackked as WB in PAT list. Looking at MTRR hint helps us to track based on effective type rather than what user requested. Again, here mtrr_lookup is only used as hint and we fallback to WB mapping (as requested by user) as default. In both cases, after using the mtrr hint, we still go through the memtype list to make sure there are no inconsistencies among multiple users.

2008-06-04x86: enable preemption in delaySteven Rostedt
The RT team has been searching for a nasty latency. This latency shows up out of the blue and has been seen to be as big as 5ms! Using ftrace I found the cause of the latency. pcscd-2995 3dNh1 52360300us : irq_exit (smp_apic_timer_interrupt) pcscd-2995 3dN.2 52360301us : idle_cpu (irq_exit) pcscd-2995 3dN.2 52360301us : rcu_irq_exit (irq_exit) pcscd-2995 3dN.1 52360771us : smp_apic_timer_interrupt (apic_timer_interrupt ) pcscd-2995 3dN.1 52360771us : exit_idle (smp_apic_timer_interrupt) Here's an example of a 400 us latency. pcscd took a timer interrupt and returned with "need resched" enabled, but did not reschedule until after the next interrupt came in at 52360771us 400us later! At first I thought we somehow missed a preemption check in entry.S. But I also noticed that this always seemed to happen during a __delay call. pcscd-2995 3dN.2 52360836us : rcu_irq_exit (irq_exit) pcscd-2995 3.N.. 52361265us : preempt_schedule (__delay) Looking at the x86 delay, I found my problem. In git commit 35d5d08a085c56f153458c3f5d8ce24123617faf, Andrew Morton placed preempt_disable around the entire delay due to TSC's not working nicely on SMP. Unfortunately for those that care about latencies this is devastating! Especially when we have callers to mdelay(8). Here I enable preemption during the loop and account for anytime the task migrates to a new CPU. The delay asked for may be extended a bit by the migration, but delay only guarantees that it will delay for that minimum time. Delaying longer should not be an issue.
