* [PATCH] spinlock_debug: don't recompute (jiffies_per_loop * HZ) in spinloopChuck Ebbert2006-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | In spinlock_debug.c, the spinloops call __delay() on every iteration. Because that is an external function, (jiffies_per_loop * HZ), the loop's iteration limit, gets recomputed every time. Caching it explicitly prevents that.

* [PATCH] make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READJason Baron2006-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ for a number of architectures which don't support write only in hardware. While looking at this, I noticed that some architectures which do not support write only mappings already take the exact same approach. For example, in arch/alpha/mm/fault.c: " if (cause < 0) { if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_EXEC)) goto bad_area; } else if (!cause) { /* Allow reads even for write-only mappings */ if (!(vma->vm_flags & (VM_READ | VM_WRITE))) goto bad_area; } else { if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE)) goto bad_area; } " Thus, this patch brings other architectures which do not support write only mappings in-line and consistent with the rest. I've verified the patch on ia64, x86_64 and x86. Additional discussion: Several architectures, including x86, can not support write-only mappings. The pte for x86 reserves a single bit for protection and its two states are read only or read/write. Thus, write only is not supported in h/w. Currently, if i 'mmap' a page write-only, the first read attempt on that page creates a page fault and will SEGV. That check is enforced in arch/blah/mm/fault.c. However, if i first write that page it will fault in and the pte will be set to read/write. Thus, any subsequent reads to the page will succeed. It is this inconsistency in behavior that this patch is attempting to address. Furthermore, if the page is swapped out, and then brought back the first read will also cause a SEGV. Thus, any arbitrary read on a page can potentially result in a SEGV. According to the SuSv3 spec, "if the application requests only PROT_WRITE, the implementation may also allow read access." Also as mentioned, some archtectures, such as alpha, shown above already take the approach that i am suggesting. The counter-argument to this raised by Arjan, is that the kernel is enforcing the write only mapping the best it can given the h/w limitations. This is true, however Alan Cox, and myself would argue that the inconsitency in behavior, that is applications can sometimes work/sometimes fails is highly undesireable. If you read through the thread, i think people, came to an agreement on the last patch i posted, as nobody has objected to it...

* [PATCH] blockdev.c: check driver layer errorsAndrew Morton2006-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Check driver layer errors. Fix from: "Jun'ichi Nomura" <j-nomura@ce.jp.nec.com> In blockdevc-check-errors.patch, add_bd_holder() is modified to return error values when some of its operation failed. Among them, it returns -EEXIST when a given bd_holder object already exists in the list. However, in this case, the function completed its work successfully and need no action by its caller other than freeing unused bd_holder object. So I think it's better to return success after freeing by itself. Otherwise, bd_claim-ing with same claim pointer will fail. Typically, lvresize will fails with following message: device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument and you'll see messages like below in kernel log: device-mapper: table: 254:13: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table Similarly, it should not add bd_holder to the list if either one of symlinking fails. I don't have a test case for this to happen but it should cause dereference of freed pointer. If a matching bd_holder is found in bd_holder_list, add_bd_holder() completes its job by just incrementing the reference count. In this case, it should be considered as success but it used to return 'fail' to let the caller free temporary bd_holder. Fixed it to return success and free given object by itself. Also, if either one of symlinking fails, the bd_holder should not be added to the list so that it can be discarded later. Otherwise, the caller will free bd_holder which is in the list.

Similarly, set_ether_mac is defined and called only from one file. Finally, setup_etheraddr and set_ether_mac were moved to avoid needing forward declarations.

* [PATCH] uml: assign random MACs to interfaces if necessaryJeff Dike2006-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Assign a random MAC to an ethernet interface if one was not provided on the command line. This became pressing when distros started bringing interfaces up before assigning IPs to them. The previous pattern of assigning an IP then bringing it up allowed the MAC to be generated from the first IP assigned. However, once the thing is up, it's probably a bad idea to change the MAC, so the MAC stayed initialized to fe:fd:0:0:0:0. Now, if there is no MAC from the command line, one is generated. We use the microseconds from gettimeofday (20 bits), plus the low 12 bits of the pid to seed the random number generator. random() is called twice, with 16 bits of each result used. I didn't want to have to try to fill in 32 bits optimally given an arbitrary RAND_MAX, so I just assume that it is greater than 65536 and use 16 bits of each random() return. There is also a bit of reformatting and whitespace cleanup here.

* [PATCH] convert i386 Summit subarch to use SRAT info for apicid_to_node callskeith mannthey2006-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert the i386 summit subarch apicid_to_node to use node information provided by the SRAT. It was discussed a little on LKML a few weeks ago and was seen as an acceptable fix. The current way of obtaining the nodeid static inline int apicid_to_node(int logical_apicid) { return logical_apicid >> 5; } is just not correct for all summit systems/bios. Assuming the apicid matches the Linux node number require a leap of faith that the bios mapped out the apicids a set way. Modern summit HW (IBM x460) does not layout its bios in the manner for various reasons and is unable to boot i386 numa. The best way to get the correct apicid to node information is from the SRAT table during boot. It lays out what apicid belongs to what node. I use this information to create a table for use at run time.

* [PATCH] SELinux: support mls categories for context mountsCory Olmo2006-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allows commas to be embedded into context mount options (i.e. "-o context=some_selinux_context_t"), to better support multiple categories, which are separated by commas and confuse mount. For example, with the current code: mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom -o \ ro,context=system_u:object_r:iso9660_t:s0:c1,c3,c4,exec The context option that will be interpreted by SELinux is context=system_u:object_r:iso9660_t:s0:c1 instead of context=system_u:object_r:iso9660_t:s0:c1,c3,c4 The options that will be passed on to the file system will be ro,c3,c4,exec. The proposed solution is to allow/require the SELinux context option specified to mount to use quotes when the context contains a comma. This patch modifies the option parsing in parse_opts(), contained in mount.c, to take options after finding a comma only if it hasn't seen a quote or if the quotes are matched. It also introduces a new function that will strip the quotes from the context option prior to translation. The quotes are replaced after the translation is completed to insure that in the event the raw context contains commas the kernel will be able to interpret the correct context.

* [PATCH] mm: fix a race condition under SMC + COWSiddha, Suresh B2006-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Failing context is a multi threaded process context and the failing sequence is as follows. One thread T0 doing self modifying code on page X on processor P0 and another thread T1 doing COW (breaking the COW setup as part of just happened fork() in another thread T2) on the same page X on processor P1. T0 doing SMC can endup modifying the new page Y (allocated by the T1 doing COW on P1) but because of different I/D TLB's, P0 ITLB will not see the new mapping till the flush TLB IPI from P1 is received. During this interval, if T0 executes the code created by SMC it can result in an app error (as ITLB still points to old page X and endup executing the content in page X rather than using the content in page Y). Fix this issue by first clearing the PTE and flushing it, before updating it with new entry. Hugh sayeth: I was a bit sceptical, in the habit of thinking that Self Modifying Code must look such issues itself: but I guess there's nothing it can do to avoid this one. Fair enough, what you're changing it to is pretty much what powerpc and s390 were already doing, and is a more robust way of proceeding, consistent with how ptes are set everywhere else. The ptep_clear_flush is a bit heavy-handed (it's anxious to return the pte that was atomically cleared), but we'd have to wander through lots of arches to get the right minimal behaviour. It'd also be nice to eliminate ptep_establish completely, now only used to define other macros/inlines: it always seemed obfuscation to me, what you've got there now is clearer.

* [PATCH] remove generic__raw_read_trylock()Matthew Wilcox2006-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the cpu has the lock held for write, is interrupted, and the interrupt handler calls read_trylock(), it's an instant deadlock. Now, Dave Miller has subsequently pointed out that we don't have any situations where this can occur. Nevertheless, we should delete generic__raw_read_lock (and its associated EXPORT to make Arjan happy) so that nobody thinks they can use it. Acked-by: "David S.

| * [Bluetooth]: Don't update disconnect timer for incoming connectionsMarcel Holtmann2006-09-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the case of device pairing the only safe method is to establish a low-level ACL link. In this case, the remote side should not use the disconnect timer to give the other side the chance to enter the PIN code. If the disconnect timer is used, the connection will be dropped to soon, because it is impossible to identify an actual user of this link.
