* | Inhibit NMI watchdog when Alt-SysRq-T operation is underwayKonrad Rzeszutek2007-07-171-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On large memory configuration with not so fast CPUs the NMI watchdog is triggered when memory addresses are being gathered and printed. The code paths for Alt-SysRq-t are sprinkled with touch_nmi_watchdog in various places but not in this routine (or in the loop that utilizes this function). The patch has been tested for regression on large CPU+memory configuration (128 logical CPUs + 224 GB) and 1,2,4,16-CPU sockets with various memory sizes (1,2,4,6,20).

* | generic bug: use show_regs() instead of dump_stack()Heiko Carstens2007-07-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current generic bug implementation has a call to dump_stack() in case a WARN_ON(whatever) gets hit. Since report_bug(), which calls dump_stack(), gets called from an exception handler we can do better: just pass the pt_regs structure to report_bug() and pass it to show_regs() in case of a warning. This will give more debug informations like register contents, etc... In addition this avoids some pointless lines that dump_stack() emits, since it includes a stack backtrace of the exception handler which is of no interest in case of a warning. E.g. on s390 the following lines are currently always present in a stack backtrace if dump_stack() gets called from report_bug(): [<000000000001517a>] show_trace+0x92/0xe8) [<0000000000015270>] show_stack+0xa0/0xd0 [<00000000000152ce>] dump_stack+0x2e/0x3c [<0000000000195450>] report_bug+0x98/0xf8 [<0000000000016cc8>] illegal_op+0x1fc/0x21c [<00000000000227d6>] sysc_return+0x0/0x10 Acked-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Acked-by: Haavard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@atmel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@parisc-linux.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* | diskquota: 32bit quota tools on 64bit architecturesVasily Tarasov2007-07-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | OpenVZ Linux kernel team has discovered the problem with 32bit quota tools working on 64bit architectures. In 2.6.10 kernel sys32_quotactl() function was replaced by sys_quotactl() with the comment "sys_quotactl seems to be 32/64bit clean, enable it for 32bit" However this isn't right. Look at if_dqblk structure: struct if_dqblk { __u64 dqb_bhardlimit; __u64 dqb_bsoftlimit; __u64 dqb_curspace; __u64 dqb_ihardlimit; __u64 dqb_isoftlimit; __u64 dqb_curinodes; __u64 dqb_btime; __u64 dqb_itime; __u32 dqb_valid; }; For 32 bit quota tools sizeof(if_dqblk) == 0x44. But for 64 bit kernel its size is 0x48, 'cause of alignment! Thus we got a problem. Attached patch reintroduce sys32_quotactl() function, that handles this and related situations.

* x86_64 irq: use mask/unmask and proper locking in fixup_irqs()Siddha, Suresh B2007-06-261-3/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Force irq migration path during cpu offline, is not using proper locks and irq_chip mask/unmask routines. This will result in some races(especially the device generating the interrupt can see some inconsistent state, resulting in issues like stuck irq,..). Appended patch fixes the issue by taking proper lock and encapsulating irq_chip set_affinity() with a mask() before and an unmask() after. This fixes a MSI irq stuck issue reported by Darrick Wong. There are several more general bugs in this area(irq migration in the process context). For example, 1. Possibility of missing edge triggered irq. 2. Reliable method of migrating level triggered irq in the process context. We plan to look and close these in the near future. Eric says: In addition even with the fix from Suresh there is still at least one nasty hardware race in fixup_irqs(). However we exercise that code path rarely enough that we are unlikely to hit it in the real world, and that race seems to have existed since the code was merged. And a fix for that is not coming soon as it is an open investigation area if we can fix irq migration to work outside of irq context or if we have to rework the requirements imposed by the generic cpu hotplug and layer on fixup_irqs(). So this may come up again. Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Cc: Eric W.

* x86_64: fix misplaced `continue' in mce.cJoshua Wise2007-06-241-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Background: When a userspace application wants to know about machine check events, it opens /dev/mcelog and does a read(). Usually, we found that this interface works well, but in some cases, when the system was taking large numbers of machine check exceptions, the read() would hang. The system would output a soft-lockup warning, and the daemon reading from /dev/mcelog would suck up as much of a single CPU as it could spinning in system space. Description: This patch fixes this bug. In particular, there was a "continue" inside a timeout loop that presumably was intended to break out of the outer loop, but instead caused the inner loop to continue. This patch also makes the condition for the break-out a little more evident by changing a !time_before to a time_after_eq. Result: The read() no longer hangs in this test case. Testing: On my system, I could replicate the bug with the following command: # for i in `seq 15000`; do ./inject_sbe.sh; done where inject_sbe.sh contains commands to inject a single-bit error into the next memory write transaction.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We aren't sampling for holes in memory. Thus we encounter a section hole with empty section map pointer for SPARSEMEM and OOPs for show_mem. This issue has been seen in 2.6.21, current git and current mm. The patch below is for mainline and mm. It was boot tested for SPARSEMEM, current VMEMMAP of Andy's in mm ml and DISCONTIGMEM. A slightly different patch will be posted to stable for 2.6.21. Previous to commit f0a5a58aa812b31fd9f197c4ba48245942364eae memory_present was called for node_start_pfn to node_end_pfn. This would cover the hole(s) with reserved pages and valid sections. Most SPARSEMEM supported arches do a pfn_valid check in show_mem before computing the page structure address. This issue was brought to my attention on IRC by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo. Thanks to Arnaldo for testing.

* enable interrupts in user path of page fault.Steven Rostedt2007-06-071-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a minor fix, but what is currently there is essentially wrong. In do_page_fault, if the faulting address from user code happens to be in kernel address space (int *p = (int*)-1; p = 0xbed;) then the do_page_fault handler will jump over the local_irq_enable with the goto bad_area_nosemaphore; But the first line there sees this is user code and goes through the process of sending a signal to send SIGSEGV to the user task. This whole time interrupts are disabled and the task can not be preempted by a higher priority task. This patch always enables interrupts in the user path of the bad_area_nosemaphore.

* | x86_64: vsyscall time() fixjohn stultz2007-05-211-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The vsyscall time() function basically returns the second portion of xtime directly. This however means that there is about a ticks worth of time each second where time() will return a second value less then what gettimeofday() does. Additionally, this window where vtime() is behind vgettimeofday() grows when dynticks is enabled, so its probably good to get this in before dynticks lands. Big thanks to Sripathi for noticing this issue and creating a test case to work with! This patch changes the vtime() implemenation to call vgettimeofday(), much as syscall time() implementation calls gettimeofday(). 2.6.21 stable candidate too Signed-off-by: John Stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Since this afflicts many serial drivers, extract the common code to a library function (uart_console_write) and arrange for each driver to supply a "putchar" function. but early_printk is left out.

* | Detach sched.h from mm.hAlexey Dobriyan2007-05-212-0/+2
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock() mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why. This patch a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly. e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were getting them indirectly Net result is: a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if they don't need sched.h b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files: on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files, after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

* Revert "ipmi: add new IPMI nmi watchdog handling"Linus Torvalds2007-05-141-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit f64da958dfc83335de1d2bef9d3868f30feb4e53. Andi Kleen is unhappy with the changes, and they really do not seem worth it. IPMI could use DIE_NMI_IPI instead of the new callback, even though that ends up having its own set of problems too, mainly because the IPMI code cannot really know the NMI was from IPMI or not. Manually fix up conflicts in arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c and drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_watchdog.c.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When auditing syscalls that send signals, log the pid and security context for each target process. Optimize the data collection by adding a counter for signal-related rules, and avoiding allocating an aux struct unless we have more than one target process. For process groups, collect pid/context data in blocks of 16. Move the audit_signal_info() hook up in check_kill_permission() so we audit attempts where permission is denied.
