2008-10-13nozomi: Fix close on errorAlan Cox
Nozomi assumes the close method isn't called if open errors. The tty layer is different to other drives in this respect however. Pointed out by Denis J Barrow. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-10-13audit: Handle embedded NUL in TTY input auditingMiloslav Trmac
Data read from a TTY can contain an embedded NUL byte (e.g. after pressing Ctrl-2, or sent to a PTY). After the previous patch, the data would be logged only up to the first NUL. This patch modifies the AUDIT_TTY record to always use the hexadecimal format, which does not terminate at the first NUL byte. The vast majority of recorded TTY input data will contain either ' ' or '\n', so the hexadecimal format would have been used anyway.

2008-10-13ip2: avoid add_timer with pending timerAkinobu Mita
add_timer() is not supposed to be called when the timer is pending. ip2 driver attempts to avoid that condition by setting and resetting a flag (TimerOn) in timer function. But there is some gap between add_timer() and setting TimerOn. This patch fix this problem by using mod_timer() and remove TimerOn which has been unnecessary by this change.

2008-10-13drivers/char/hvc_console.c: adjust call to put_tty_driverJulia Lawall
The call to put_tty_driver is out of place and is applied to the wrong argument. The function enclosing the patched code calls alloc_tty_driver and stores the result in drv. Subsequently, there are two occurrences of error handling code, one making a goto to put_tty and one making a goto to stop_thread. At the point of the first one the assignment hvc_driver = drv has not yet been executed, and from inspecting the rest of the file it seems that hvc_driver would be NULL. Thus the current call to put_tty_driver is useless, and one applied to drv is needed. The goto stop_thread is in the error handling code for a call to tty_register_driver, but the error cases in tty_register_driver do not free its argument, so it should be done here. Thus, I have moved the put_tty label after the stop_thread label, so that put_tty_driver is called in both cases. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @r exists@ local idexpression x; expression E,f; position p1,p2,p3; identifier l; statement S; @@ x = alloc_tty_driver@p1(...) ... if (x == NULL) S ... when != E = x when != put_tty_driver(x) goto@p2 l; ... when != E = x when != f(...,x,...) when any ( return \(0\|x\); | return@p3 ...; ) @script:python@ p1 << r.p1; p2 << r.p2; p3 << r.p3; @@ print "%s: call on line %s not freed or saved before return on line %s via line %s" % (p1[0].file,p1[0].line,p3[0].line,p2[0].line) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-10-09block: don't depend on consecutive minor spaceTejun Heo
* Implement disk_devt() and part_devt() and use them to directly access devt instead of computing it from ->major and ->first_minor. Note that all references to ->major and ->first_minor outside of block layer is used to determine devt of the disk (the part0) and as ->major and ->first_minor will continue to represent devt for the disk, converting these users aren't strictly necessary. However, convert them for consistency. * Implement disk_max_parts() to avoid directly deferencing genhd->minors. * Update bdget_disk() such that it doesn't assume consecutive minor space. * Move devt computation from register_disk() to add_disk() and make it the only one (all other usages use the initially determined value).

Suresh wrote: These padlock instructions though don't use/touch SSE registers, but it behaves similar to other SSE instructions. For example, it might cause DNA faults when cr0.ts is set. While this is a spurious DNA trap, it might cause oops with the recent fpu code changes. This is the code sequence that is probably causing this problem: a) new app is getting exec'd and it is somewhere in between start_thread() and flush_old_exec() in the load_xyz_binary() b) At pont "a", task's fpu state (like TS_USEDFPU, used_math() etc) is cleared. c) Now we get an interrupt/softirq which starts using these encrypt/decrypt routines in the network stack. This generates a math fault (as cr0.ts is '1') which sets TS_USEDFPU and restores the math that is in the task's xstate. d) Return to exec code path, which does start_thread() which does free_thread_xstate() and sets xstate pointer to NULL while the TS_USEDFPU is still set. e) At the next context switch from the new exec'd task to another task, we have a scenarios where TS_USEDFPU is set but xstate pointer is null. This can cause an oops during unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to() Now: 1) This should happen with or with out pre-emption. Viro also encountered similar problem with out CONFIG_PREEMPT. 2) kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end() will fix this problem, because kernel_fpu_begin() will manually do a clts() and won't run in to the situation of setting TS_USEDFPU in step "c" above. 3) This was working before the fpu changes, because its a spurious math fault which doesn't corrupt any fpu/sse registers and the task's math state was always in an allocated state. With out the recent lazy fpu allocation changes, while we don't see oops, there is a possible race still present in older kernels(for example, while kernel is using kernel_fpu_begin() in some optimized clear/copy page and an interrupt/softirq happens which uses these padlock instructions generating DNA fault). This is the failing scenario that existed even before the lazy fpu allocation changes: 0. CPU's TS flag is set 1. kernel using FPU in some optimized copy routine and while doing kernel_fpu_begin() takes an interrupt just before doing clts() 2. Takes an interrupt and ipsec uses padlock instruction. And we take a DNA fault as TS flag is still set. 3. We handle the DNA fault and set TS_USEDFPU and clear cr0.ts 4. We complete the padlock routine 5. Go back to step-1, which resumes clts() in kernel_fpu_begin(), finishes the optimized copy routine and does kernel_fpu_end(). At this point, we have cr0.ts again set to '1' but the task's TS_USEFPU is stilll set and not cleared. 6. Now kernel resumes its user operation. And at the next context switch, kernel sees it has do a FP save as TS_USEDFPU is still set and then will do a unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to(). unlazy_fpu() will take a DNA fault, as cr0.ts is '1' and now, because we are in __switch_to(), math_state_restore() will get confused and will restore the next task's FP state and will save it in prev tasks's FP state. Remember, in __switch_to() we are already on the stack of the next task but take a DNA fault for the prev task. This causes the fpu leakage. Fix the padlock instruction usage by calling them inside the context of new routines irq_ts_save/restore(), which clear/restore cr0.ts manually in the interrupt context. This will not generate spurious DNA in the context of the interrupt which will fix the oops encountered and the possible FPU leakage issue.

2008-08-12fix spinlock recursion in hvc_consoleChristian Borntraeger
commit 611e097d7707741a336a0677d9d69bec40f29f3d Author: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> hvc_console: rework setup to replace irq functions with callbacks introduced a spinlock recursion problem. request_irq tries to call the handler if the IRQ is shared. The irq handler of hvc_console calls hvc_poll and hvc_kill which might take the hvc_struct spinlock. Therefore, we have to call request_irq outside the spinlock. We can move the notifier_add safely outside the spinlock as ->data must not be changed by the backend. Otherwise, tty_hangup would fail anyway.
