* pccard_store_cis: fix wrong error handlingLinus Torvalds2006-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The test for the error from pcmcia_replace_cis() was incorrect, and would always trigger (because if an error didn't happen, the "ret" value would not be zero, it would be the passed-in count). Reported and debugged by Fabrice Bellet <fabrice@bellet.info> Rather than just fix the single broken test, make the code in question use an understandable code-sequence instead, fixing the whole function to be more readable.

* | [PATCH] paravirt: update pte hookZachary Amsden2006-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a pte_update_hook which notifies about pte changes that have been made without using the set_pte / clear_pte interfaces. This allows shadow mode hypervisors which do not trap on page table access to maintain synchronized shadows. It also turns out, there was one pte update in PAE mode that wasn't using any accessor interface at all for setting NX protection. Considering it is PAE specific, and the accessor is i386 specific, I didn't want to add a generic encapsulation of this behavior yet.

* | [PATCH] paravirt: optimize ptep establish for paeZachary Amsden2006-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ptep_establish macro is only used on user-level PTEs, for P->P mapping changes. Since these always happen under protection of the pagetable lock, the strong synchronization of a 64-bit cmpxchg is not needed, in fact, not even a lock prefix needs to be used. We can simply instead clear the P-bit, followed by a normal set. The write ordering is still important to avoid the possibility of the TLB snooping a partially written PTE and getting a bad mapping installed.

* | [PATCH] paravirt: kpte flushZachary Amsden2006-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create a new PTE function which combines clearing a kernel PTE with the subsequent flush. This allows the two to be easily combined into a single hypercall or paravirt-op. More subtly, reverse the order of the flush for kmap_atomic. Instead of flushing on establishing a mapping, flush on clearing a mapping. This eliminates the possibility of leaving stale kmap entries which may still have valid TLB mappings. This is required for direct mode hypervisors, which need to reprotect all mappings of a given page when changing the page type from a normal page to a protected page (such as a page table or descriptor table page). But it also provides some nicer semantics for real hardware, by providing extra debug-proofing against using stale mappings, as well as ensuring that no stale mappings exist when changing the cacheability attributes of a page, which could lead to cache conflicts when two different types of mappings exist for the same page.

* | [PATCH] paravirt: combine flush accessed dirty.patchZachary Amsden2006-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove ptep_test_and_clear_{dirty|young} from i386, and instead use the dominating functions, ptep_clear_flush_{dirty|young}. This allows the TLB page flush to be contained in the same macro, and allows for an eager optimization - if reading the PTE initially returned dirty/accessed, we can assume the fact that no subsequent update to the PTE which cleared accessed / dirty has occurred, as the only way A/D bits can change without holding the page table lock is if a remote processor clears them. This eliminates an extra branch which came from the generic version of the code, as we know that no other CPU could have cleared the A/D bit, so the flush will always be needed. We still export these two defines, even though we do not actually define the macros in the i386 code: #define __HAVE_ARCH_PTEP_TEST_AND_CLEAR_YOUNG #define __HAVE_ARCH_PTEP_TEST_AND_CLEAR_DIRTY The reason for this is that the only use of these functions is within the generic clear_flush functions, and we want a strong guarantee that there are no other users of these functions, so we want to prevent the generic code from defining them for us.

* | [PATCH] paravirt: lazy mmu mode hooks.patchZachary Amsden2006-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement lazy MMU update hooks which are SMP safe for both direct and shadow page tables. The idea is that PTE updates and page invalidations while in lazy mode can be batched into a single hypercall. We use this in VMI for shadow page table synchronization, and it is a win. It also can be used by PPC and for direct page tables on Xen. For SMP, the enter / leave must happen under protection of the page table locks for page tables which are being modified. This is because otherwise, you end up with stale state in the batched hypercall, which other CPUs can race ahead of. Doing this under the protection of the locks guarantees the synchronization is correct, and also means that spurious faults which are generated during this window by remote CPUs are properly handled, as the page fault handler must re-check the PTE under protection of the same lock.

* | [PATCH] invalidate_inode_pages2(): ignore page refcountsAndrew Morton2006-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The recent fix to invalidate_inode_pages() (git commit 016eb4a) managed to unfix invalidate_inode_pages2(). The problem is that various bits of code in the kernel can take transient refs on pages: the page scanner will do this when inspecting a batch of pages, and the lru_cache_add() batching pagevecs also hold a ref. Net result is transient failures in invalidate_inode_pages2(). This affects NFS directory invalidation (observed) and presumably also block-backed direct-io (not yet reported). Fix it by reverting invalidate_inode_pages2() back to the old version which ignores the page refcounts. We may come up with something more clever later, but for now we need a 2.6.18 fix for NFS.

* | [PATCH] Support piping into commands in /proc/sys/kernel/core_patternAndi Kleen2006-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using the infrastructure created in previous patches implement support to pipe core dumps into programs. This is done by overloading the existing core_pattern sysctl with a new syntax: |program When the first character of the pattern is a '|' the kernel will instead threat the rest of the pattern as a command to run. The core dump will be written to the standard input of that program instead of to a file. This is useful for having automatic core dump analysis without filling up disks. The program can do some simple analysis and save only a summary of the core dump. The core dump proces will run with the privileges and in the name space of the process that caused the core dump. I also increased the core pattern size to 128 bytes so that longer command lines fit. Most of the changes comes from allowing core dumps without seeks. They are fairly straight forward though. One small incompatibility is that if someone had a core pattern previously that started with '|' they will get suddenly new behaviour. I think that's unlikely to be a real problem though. Additional background: > Very nice, do you happen to have a program that can accept this kind of > input for crash dumps? I'm guessing that the embedded people will > really want this functionality. I had a cheesy demo/prototype. Basically it wrote the dump to a file again, ran gdb on it to get a backtrace and wrote the summary to a shared directory. Then there was a simple CGI script to generate a "top 10" crashes HTML listing. Unfortunately this still had the disadvantage to needing full disk space for a dump except for deleting it afterwards (in fact it was worse because over the pipe holes didn't work so if you have a holey address map it would require more space). Fortunately gdb seems to be happy to handle /proc/pid/fd/xxx input pipes as cores (at least it worked with zsh's =(cat core) syntax), so it would be likely possible to do it without temporary space with a simple wrapper that calls it in the right way. I ran out of time before doing that though. The demo prototype scripts weren't very good. If there is really interest I can dig them out (they are currently on a laptop disk on the desk with the laptop itself being in service), but I would recommend to rewrite them for any serious application of this and fix the disk space problem. Also to be really useful it should probably find a way to automatically fetch the debuginfos (I cheated and just installed them in advance). If nobody else does it I can probably do the rewrite myself again at some point. My hope at some point was that desktops would support it in their builtin crash reporters, but at least the KDE people I talked too seemed to be happy with their user space only solution. Alan sayeth: I don't believe that piping as such as neccessarily the right model, but the ability to intercept and processes core dumps from user space is asked for by many enterprise users as well. They want to know about, capture, analyse and process core dumps, often centrally and in automated form.

* | [PATCH] Generic ioremap_page_range: flush_cache_vmapHaavard Skinnemoen2006-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The existing implementation of ioremap_page_range(), which was taken from i386, does this: flush_cache_all(); /* modify page tables */ flush_tlb_all(); I think this is a bit defensive, so this patch changes the generic implementation to do: /* modify page tables */ flush_cache_vmap(start, end); instead, which is similar to what vmalloc() does. This should still be correct because we never modify existing PTEs. According to James Bottomley: The problem the flush_tlb_all() is trying to solve is to avoid stale tlb entries in the ioremap area. We're just being conservative by flushing on both map and unmap. Technically what vmalloc/vfree does (only flush the tlb on unmap) is just fine because it means that the only tlb entries in the remap area must belong to in-use mappings.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a generic implementation of ioremap_page_range() in lib/ioremap.c based on the i386 implementation. It differs from the i386 version in the following ways: * The PTE flags are passed as a pgprot_t argument and must be determined up front by the arch-specific code. No additional PTE flags are added. * Uses set_pte_at() instead of set_pte() [bunk@stusta.de: warning fix] ]dhowells@redhat.com: nommu build fix] Signed-off-by: Haavard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@atmel.com> Cc: Richard Henderson <rth@twiddle.net> Cc: Ivan Kokshaysky <ink@jurassic.park.msu.ru> Cc: Russell King <rmk@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: Mikael Starvik <starvik@axis.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Cc: <linux-m32r@ml.linux-m32r.org> Cc: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@parisc-linux.org> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org> Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* | [PATCH] stack overflow safe kdump: safe_smp_processor_id()Fernando Vazquez2006-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a the first of a series of patch-sets aiming at making kdump more robust against stack overflows. This patch set does the following: * Add safe_smp_processor_id function to i386 architecture (this function was inspired by the x86_64 function of the same name). * Substitute "smp_processor_id" with the stack overflow-safe "safe_smp_processor_id" in the reboot path to the second kernel. This patch: On the event of a stack overflow critical data that usually resides at the bottom of the stack is likely to be stomped and, consequently, its use should be avoided. In particular, in the i386 and IA64 architectures the macro smp_processor_id ultimately makes use of the "cpu" member of struct thread_info which resides at the bottom of the stack. x86_64, on the other hand, is not affected by this problem because it benefits from the use of the PDA infrastructure. To circumvent this problem I suggest implementing "safe_smp_processor_id()" (it already exists in x86_64) for i386 and IA64 and use it as a replacement for smp_processor_id in the reboot path to the dump capture kernel. This is a possible implementation for i386. Signed-off-by: Fernando Vazquez <fernando@intellilink.co.jp> Looks-reasonable-to: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de> Acked-by: "Eric W.

* | [PATCH] r/o bind mounts: clean up OCFS2 nlink handlingMark Fasheh2006-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | OCFS2 does some operations on i_nlink, then reverts them if some of its operations fail to complete. This does not fit in well with the drop_nlink() logic where we expect i_nlink to stay at zero once it gets there. So, delay all of the nlink operations until we're sure that the operations have completed. Also, introduce a small helper to check whether an inode has proper "unlinkable" i_nlink counts no matter whether it is a directory or regular inode. This patch is broken out from the others because it does contain some logical changes.
