2008-06-24KVM: close timer injection race window in __vcpu_runMarcelo Tosatti
If a timer fires after kvm_inject_pending_timer_irqs() but before local_irq_disable() the code will enter guest mode and only inject such timer interrupt the next time an unrelated event causes an exit. It would be simpler if the timer->pending irq conversion could be done with IRQ's disabled, so that the above problem cannot happen. For now introduce a new vcpu requests bit to cancel guest entry.

2008-06-23ftrace: freeze kprobe'd recordsAbhishek Sagar
Let records identified as being kprobe'd be marked as "frozen". The trouble with records which have a kprobe installed on their mcount call-site is that they don't get updated. So if such a function which is currently being traced gets its tracing disabled due to a new filter rule (or because it was added to the notrace list) then it won't be updated and continue being traced. This patch allows scanning of all frozen records during tracing to check if they should be traced.

2008-06-23ftrace: store mcount address in rec->ipAbhishek Sagar
Record the address of the mcount call-site. Currently all archs except sparc64 record the address of the instruction following the mcount call-site. Some general cleanups are entailed. Storing mcount addresses in rec->ip enables looking them up in the kprobe hash table later on to check if they're kprobe'd.

2008-06-12tcp: Revert 'process defer accept as established' changes.David S. Miller
This reverts two changesets, ec3c0982a2dd1e671bad8e9d26c28dcba0039d87 ("[TCP]: TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT updates - process as established") and the follow-on bug fix 9ae27e0adbf471c7a6b80102e38e1d5a346b3b38 ("tcp: Fix slab corruption with ipv6 and tcp6fuzz"). This change causes several problems, first reported by Ingo Molnar as a distcc-over-loopback regression where connections were getting stuck. Ilpo Järvinen first spotted the locking problems. The new function added by this code, tcp_defer_accept_check(), only has the child socket locked, yet it is modifying state of the parent listening socket. Fixing that is non-trivial at best, because we can't simply just grab the parent listening socket lock at this point, because it would create an ABBA deadlock. The normal ordering is parent listening socket --> child socket, but this code path would require the reverse lock ordering. Next is a problem noticed by Vitaliy Gusev, he noted: ---------------------------------------- >--- a/net/ipv4/tcp_timer.c >+++ b/net/ipv4/tcp_timer.c >@@ -481,6 +481,11 @@ static void tcp_keepalive_timer (unsigned long data) > goto death; > } > >+ if (tp->defer_tcp_accept.request && sk->sk_state == TCP_ESTABLISHED) { >+ tcp_send_active_reset(sk, GFP_ATOMIC); >+ goto death; Here socket sk is not attached to listening socket's request queue. tcp_done() will not call inet_csk_destroy_sock() (and tcp_v4_destroy_sock() which should release this sk) as socket is not DEAD. Therefore socket sk will be lost for freeing. ---------------------------------------- Finally, Alexey Kuznetsov argues that there might not even be any real value or advantage to these new semantics even if we fix all of the bugs: ---------------------------------------- Hiding from accept() sockets with only out-of-order data only is the only thing which is impossible with old approach. Is this really so valuable? My opinion: no, this is nothing but a new loophole to consume memory without control. ---------------------------------------- So revert this thing for now.

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.

2008-06-11cpuidle acpi driver: fix oops on AC<->DCVenkatesh Pallipadi
cpuidle and acpi driver interaction bug with the way cpuidle_register_driver() is called. Due to this bug, there will be oops on AC<->DC on some systems, where they support C-states in one DC and not in AC. The current code does ON BOOT: Look at CST and other C-state info to see whether more than C1 is supported. If it is, then acpi processor_idle does a cpuidle_register_driver() call, which internally enables the device. ON CST change notification (AC<->DC) and on suspend-resume: acpi driver temporarily disables device, updates the device with any new C-states, and reenables the device. The problem is is on boot, there are no C2, C3 states supported and we skip the register. Later on AC<->DC, we may get a CST notification and we try to reevaluate CST and enabled the device, without actually registering it. This causes breakage as we try to create /sys fs sub directory, without the parent directory which is created at register time.

2008-06-10sched: fix TASK_WAKEKILL vs SIGKILL raceOleg Nesterov
schedule() has the special "TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE && signal_pending()" case, this allows us to do current->state = TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE; schedule(); without fear to sleep with pending signal. However, the code like current->state = TASK_KILLABLE; schedule(); is not right, schedule() doesn't take TASK_WAKEKILL into account. This means that mutex_lock_killable(), wait_for_completion_killable(), down_killable(), schedule_timeout_killable() can miss SIGKILL (and btw the second SIGKILL has no effect). Introduce the new helper, signal_pending_state(), and change schedule() to use it. Hopefully it will have more users, that is why the task's state is passed separately. Note this "__TASK_STOPPED | __TASK_TRACED" check in signal_pending_state(). This is needed to preserve the current behaviour (ptrace_notify). I hope this check will be removed soon, but this (afaics good) change needs the separate discussion. The fast path is "(state & (INTERRUPTIBLE | WAKEKILL)) + signal_pending(p)", basically the same that schedule() does now. However, this patch of course bloats schedule().

2008-06-09[POWERPC] Make walk_memory_resource available with MEMORY_HOTPLUG=nNathan Lynch
The ehea driver was recently changed[1] to use walk_memory_resource() to detect the system's memory layout. However, walk_memory_resource() is available only when memory hotplug is enabled. So CONFIG_EHEA was made to depend on MEMORY_HOTPLUG [2], but it is inappropriate for a network driver to have such a dependency. Make the declaration of walk_memory_resource() and its powerpc implementation (ehea is powerpc-specific) unconditionally available.

2008-06-08fat_valid_media() isn't for userspaceAdrian Bunk
Commit 73f20e58b1d586e9f6d3ddc3aad872829aca7743 ("FAT_VALID_MEDIA(): remove pointless test") wrongly added the new fat_valid_media() function to the userspace-visible part of include/linux/msdos_fs.h Move it to the part of include/linux/msdos_fs.h that is not exported to userspace.

2008-06-06ipc: restore MSGPOOL original valueNadia Derbey
When posting: [PATCH 1/8] Scaling msgmni to the amount of lowmem (see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/637849/) I changed the MSGPOOL value to make it fit what is said in the man pages (i.e. a size in bytes). But Michael Kerrisk rightly complained that this change could affect the ABI. So I'm posting this patch to make MSGPOOL expressed back in Kbytes. Michael, on his side, has fixed the man page.
