* gigaset: prune use of tty_buffer_request_roomTilman Schmidt2010-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 873a69a358a6b393fd8d9d92e193ec8895cac4d7 upstream. Calling tty_buffer_request_room() before tty_insert_flip_string() is unnecessary, costs CPU and for big buffers can mess up the multi-page allocation avoidance.

* gigaset: correct clearing of at_state strings on RINGTilman Schmidt2010-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 3a0a3a6b92edf181f849ebd8417122392ba73a96 upstream. In RING handling, clear the table of received parameter strings in a loop like everywhere else, instead of by enumeration which had already gotten out of sync.

* ALSA: cmipci: work around invalid PCM pointerClemens Ladisch2010-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 1c583063a5c769fe2ec604752e383972c69e6d9b upstream. When the CMI8738 FRAME2 register is read, the chip sometimes (probably when wrapping around) returns an invalid value that would be outside the programmed DMA buffer. This leads to an inconsistent PCM pointer that is likely to result in an underrun. To work around this, read the register multiple times until we get a valid value; the error state seems to be very short-lived.

* ALSA: hda: Fix 0 dB offset for HP laptops using CX20551 (Waikiki)Daniel T Chen2010-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 025f206c9e0f96cc41567b01c07fb852d8900da1 upstream. BugLink: https://launchpad.net/bugs/420578 The OR has verified that his hardware distorts because of the 0 dB offset not corresponding to the highest PCM level. Fix this by capping said PCM level to 0 dB similarly to what we do for CX20549 (Venice).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 80c43ed724797627d8f86855248c497a6161a214 upstream. Judging from the member of enable_msi white-list, Nvidia controller seems to cause troubles with MSI enabled, e.g. boot hang up or other serious issue may come up.

* sched: Fix SCHED_MC regression caused by change in sched cpu_powerSuresh Siddha2010-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit dd5feea14a7de4edbd9f36db1a2db785de91b88d upstream On platforms like dual socket quad-core platform, the scheduler load balancer is not detecting the load imbalances in certain scenarios. This is leading to scenarios like where one socket is completely busy (with all the 4 cores running with 4 tasks) and leaving another socket completely idle. This causes performance issues as those 4 tasks share the memory controller, last-level cache bandwidth etc. Also we won't be taking advantage of turbo-mode as much as we would like, etc. Some of the comparisons in the scheduler load balancing code are comparing the "weighted cpu load that is scaled wrt sched_group's cpu_power" with the "weighted average load per task that is not scaled wrt sched_group's cpu_power". While this has probably been broken for a longer time (for multi socket numa nodes etc), the problem got aggrevated via this recent change: | | commit f93e65c186ab3c05ce2068733ca10e34fd00125e | Author: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> | Date: Tue Sep 1 10:34:32 2009 +0200 | | sched: Restore __cpu_power to a straight sum of power | Also with this change, the sched group cpu power alone no longer reflects the group capacity that is needed to implement MC, MT performance (default) and power-savings (user-selectable) policies. We need to use the computed group capacity (sgs.group_capacity, that is computed using the SD_PREFER_SIBLING logic in update_sd_lb_stats()) to find out if the group with the max load is above its capacity and how much load to move etc. Reported-by: Ma Ling <ling.ma@intel.com> Initial-Analysis-by: Zhang, Yanmin <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> [ -v2: build fix ] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <1266970432.11588.22.camel@sbs-t61.sc.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 19f48cb105b7fa18d0dcab435919a3a29b7a7c4c upstream. this patch fixes a memory leak which occurs when an em28xx card with DVB extension is unplugged or its DVB extension driver is unloaded. In dvb_fini(), dev->dvb must be freed before being set to NULL, as is done in dvb_init() in case of error. Note that this bug is also present in the latest stable kernel release.

* coredump: suppress uid comparison test if core output files are pipesNeil Horman2010-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 76595f79d76fbe6267a51b3a866a028d150f06d4 upstream. Modify uid check in do_coredump so as to not apply it in the case of pipes. This just got noticed in testing. The end of do_coredump validates the uid of the inode for the created file against the uid of the crashing process to ensure that no one can pre-create a core file with different ownership and grab the information contained in the core when they shouldn' tbe able to. This causes failures when using pipes for a core dumps if the crashing process is not root, which is the uid of the pipe when it is created. The fix is simple. Since the check for matching uid's isn't relevant for pipes (a process can't create a pipe that the uermodehelper code will open anyway), we can just just skip it in the event ispipe is non-zero Reverts a pipe-affecting change which was accidentally made in : commit c46f739dd39db3b07ab5deb4e3ec81e1c04a91af : Author: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> : AuthorDate: Wed Nov 28 13:59:18 2007 +0100 : Commit: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org> : CommitDate: Wed Nov 28 10:58:01 2007 -0800 : : vfs: coredumping fix Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: maximilian attems <max@stro.at> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* tracing: Do not record user stack trace from NMI contextSteven Rostedt2010-04-01

A bug was found with Li Zefan's ftrace_stress_test that caused applications to segfault during the test. Placing a tracing_off() in the segfault code, and examining several traces, I found that the following was always the case. The lock tracer was enabled (lockdep being required) and userstack was enabled. Testing this out, I just enabled the two, but that was not good enough. I needed to run something else that could trigger it. Running a load like hackbench did not work, but executing a new program would. The following would trigger the segfault within seconds: # echo 1 > /debug/tracing/options/userstacktrace # echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/lock/enable # while :; do ls > /dev/null ; done Enabling the function graph tracer and looking at what was happening I finally noticed that all cashes happened just after an NMI. 1) | copy_user_handle_tail() { 1) | bad_area_nosemaphore() { 1) | __bad_area_nosemaphore() { 1) | no_context() { 1) | fixup_exception() { 1) 0.319 us | search_exception_tables(); 1) 0.873 us | } [...] 1) 0.314 us | __rcu_read_unlock(); 1) 0.325 us | native_apic_mem_write(); 1) 0.943 us | } 1) 0.304 us | rcu_nmi_exit(); [...] 1) 0.479 us | find_vma(); 1) | bad_area() { 1) | __bad_area() { After capturing several traces of failures, all of them happened after an NMI. Curious about this, I added a trace_printk() to the NMI handler to read the regs->ip to see where the NMI happened. In which I found out it was here: ffffffff8135b660 <page_fault>: ffffffff8135b660: 48 83 ec 78 sub $0x78,%rsp ffffffff8135b664: e8 97 01 00 00 callq ffffffff8135b800 <error_entry> What was happening is that the NMI would happen at the place that a page fault occurred. It would call rcu_read_lock() which was traced by the lock events, and the user_stack_trace would run. This would trigger a page fault inside the NMI. I do not see where the CR2 register is saved or restored in NMI handling. This means that it would corrupt the page fault handling that the NMI interrupted. The reason the while loop of ls helped trigger the bug, was that each execution of ls would cause lots of pages to be faulted in, and increase the chances of the race happening. The simple solution is to not allow user stack traces in NMI context. After this patch, I ran the above "ls" test for a couple of hours without any issues. Without this patch, the bug would trigger in less than a minute.

* tracing: Disable buffer switching when starting or stopping traceSteven Rostedt2010-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit a2f8071428ed9a0f06865f417c962421c9a6b488 upstream. When the trace iterator is read, tracing_start() and tracing_stop() is called to stop tracing while the iterator is processing the trace output. These functions disable both the standard buffer and the max latency buffer. But if the wakeup tracer is running, it can switch these buffers between the two disables: buffer = global_trace.buffer; if (buffer) ring_buffer_record_disable(buffer); <<<--------- swap happens here buffer = max_tr.buffer; if (buffer) ring_buffer_record_disable(buffer); What happens is that we disabled the same buffer twice. On tracing_start() we can enable the same buffer twice. All ring_buffer_record_disable() must be matched with a ring_buffer_record_enable() or the buffer can be disable permanently, or enable prematurely, and cause a bug where a reset happens while a trace is commiting. This patch protects these two by taking the ftrace_max_lock to prevent a switch from occurring. Found with Li Zefan's ftrace_stress_test.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 1e259e0a9982078896f3404240096cbea01daca4 upstream. We support event unthrottling in breakpoint events. It means that if we have more than sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate/HZ, perf will throttle, ignoring subsequent events until the next tick. So if ptrace exceeds this max rate, it will omit events, which breaks the ptrace determinism that is supposed to report every triggered breakpoints. This is likely to happen if we set sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate to 1. This patch removes support for unthrottling in breakpoint events to break throttling and restore ptrace determinism.

Those are usually checked for safety in stack walking helpers before any dereferencing, but this is not the case when we need to go through one more frame pointer that backlinks the irq stack to the previous one, as we don't have any reliable address boudaries to compare this frame pointer against. This raises crashes when we record callchains for ftrace events with perf because we don't use the right helpers to capture registers there. We get wrong frame pointers as we call task_pt_regs() even on kernel threads, which is a wrong thing as it gives us the initial state of any kernel threads freshly created. This is even not what we want for user tasks. What we want is a hot snapshot of registers when the ftrace event triggers, not the state before a task entered the kernel. This requires more thoughts to do it correctly though. So first put a guardian to ensure the given frame pointer can be dereferenced to avoid crashes. We'll think about how to fix the callers in a subsequent patch. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: H.

* x86_64, cpa: Don't work hard in preserving kernel 2M mappings when using 4K ↵Suresh Siddha2010-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | already commit 281ff33b7c1b1ba2a5f9b03425e5f692a94913fa upstream. We currently enforce the !RW mapping for the kernel mapping that maps holes between different text, rodata and data sections. However, kernel identity mappings will have different RWX permissions to the pages mapping to text and to the pages padding (which are freed) the text, rodata sections. Hence kernel identity mappings will be broken to smaller pages. For 64-bit, kernel text and kernel identity mappings are different, so we can enable protection checks that come with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA, as well as retain 2MB large page mappings for kernel text. Konrad reported a boot failure with the Linux Xen paravirt guest because of this. In this paravirt guest case, the kernel text mapping and the kernel identity mapping share the same page-table pages. Thus forcing the !RW mapping for some of the kernel mappings also cause the kernel identity mappings to be read-only resulting in the boot failure. Linux Xen paravirt guest also uses 4k mappings and don't use 2M mapping. Fix this issue and retain large page performance advantage for native kernels by not working hard and not enforcing !RW for the kernel text mapping, if the current mapping is already using small page mapping.

I/Q calibration was completely broken, resulting in a high number of CRC errors on received packets. before i could see around 10% to 20% CRC errors, with this patch they are between 0% and 3%. 1.) the removal of the mask in commit "ath5k: Fix I/Q calibration (f1cf2dbd0f798b71b1590e7aca6647f2caef1649)" resulted in no mask beeing used when writing the I/Q values into the register. additional errors in the calculation of the values (see 2.) resulted too high numbers, exceeding the masks, so wrong values like 0xfffffffe were written. to be safe we should always use the bitmask when writing parts of a register. 2.) using a (s32) cast for q_coff is a wrong conversion to signed, since we convert to a signed value later by substracting 128. this resulted in too low numbers for Q many times, which were limited to -16 by the boundary check later on. 3.) checked everything against the HAL sources and took over comments and minor optimizations from there. 4.) we can't use ENABLE_BITS when we want to write a number (the number can contain zeros). also always write the correction values first and set ENABLE bit last, like the HAL does.

Unfortunately, it took the top of the compressed data as being the stack pointer, which it is for ROM=n cases. However, for ROM=y, the stack pointer is not relevant, and results in the wrong answer. Fix this by explicitly storing the end of the biggybacked data in the decompressor, and use that to calculate the compressed image size.

* decompress: fix new decompressor for PICRussell King2010-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 5ceaa2f39bfa73c4398cd01e78f1c3ebde3d3383 upstream. The ARM kernel decompressor wants to be able to relocate r/w data independently from the rest of the image, and we do this by ensuring that r/w data has global visibility. Define STATIC_RW_DATA to be empty to achieve this.

* drivers/scsi/ses.c: eliminate double freeJulia Lawall2010-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 9b3a6549b2602ca30f58715a0071e29f9898cae9 upstream. The few lines below the kfree of hdr_buf may go to the label err_free which will also free hdr_buf. The most straightforward solution seems to be to just move the kfree of hdr_buf after these gotos. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r@ identifier E; expression E1; iterator I; statement S; @@ *kfree(E); ... when != E = E1 when != I(E,...)

* x86, mm: Allow highmem user page tables to be disabled at boot timeIan Campbell2010-03-15

Distros generally (I looked at Debian, RHEL5 and SLES11) seem to enable CONFIG_HIGHPTE for any x86 configuration which has highmem enabled. This means that the overhead applies even to machines which have a fairly modest amount of high memory and which therefore do not really benefit from allocating PTEs in high memory but still pay the price of the additional mapping operations. Running kernbench on a 4G box I found that with CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y but no actual highptes being allocated there was a reduction in system time used from 59.737s to 55.9s. With CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y and highmem PTEs being allocated: Average Optimal load -j 4 Run (std deviation): Elapsed Time 175.396 (0.238914) User Time 515.983 (5.85019) System Time 59.737 (1.26727) Percent CPU 263.8 (71.6796) Context Switches 39989.7 (4672.64) Sleeps 42617.7 (246.307) With CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y but with no highmem PTEs being allocated: Average Optimal load -j 4 Run (std deviation): Elapsed Time 174.278 (0.831968) User Time 515.659 (6.07012) System Time 55.9 (1.07799) Percent CPU 263.8 (71.266) Context Switches 39929.6 (4485.13) Sleeps 42583.7 (373.039) This patch allows the user to control the allocation of PTEs in highmem from the command line ("userpte=nohigh") but retains the status-quo as the default. It is possible that some simple heuristic could be developed which allows auto-tuning of this option however I don't have a sufficiently large machine available to me to perform any particularly meaningful experiments. We could probably handwave up an argument for a threshold at 16G of total RAM. Assuming 768M of lowmem we have 196608 potential lowmem PTE pages. Each page can map 2M of RAM in a PAE-enabled configuration, meaning a maximum of 384G of RAM could potentially be mapped using lowmem PTEs. Even allowing generous factor of 10 to account for other required lowmem allocations, generous slop to account for page sharing (which reduces the total amount of RAM mappable by a given number of PT pages) and other innacuracies in the estimations it would seem that even a 32G machine would not have a particularly pressing need for highmem PTEs. I think 32G could be considered to be at the upper bound of what might be sensible on a 32 bit machine (although I think in practice 64G is still supported). It's seems questionable if HIGHPTE is even a win for any amount of RAM you would sensibly run a 32 bit kernel on rather than going 64 bit.

* sched: Don't use possibly stale sched_classThomas Gleixner2010-03-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 83ab0aa0d5623d823444db82c3b3c34d7ec364ae upstream. setscheduler() saves task->sched_class outside of the rq->lock held region for a check after the setscheduler changes have become effective. That might result in checking a stale value. rtmutex_setprio() has the same problem, though it is protected by p->pi_lock against setscheduler(), but for correctness sake (and to avoid bad examples) it needs to be fixed as well. Retrieve task->sched_class inside of the rq->lock held region.

* sched: Fix SMT scheduler regression in find_busiest_queue()Suresh Siddha2010-03-15

Fix a SMT scheduler performance regression that is leading to a scenario where SMT threads in one core are completely idle while both the SMT threads in another core (on the same socket) are busy. This is caused by this commit (with the problematic code highlighted) commit bdb94aa5dbd8b55e75f5a50b61312fe589e2c2d1 Author: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Date: Tue Sep 1 10:34:38 2009 +0200 sched: Try to deal with low capacity @@ -4203,15 +4223,18 @@ find_busiest_queue() ... for_each_cpu(i, sched_group_cpus(group)) { + unsigned long power = power_of(i); ... - wl = weighted_cpuload(i); + wl = weighted_cpuload(i) * SCHED_LOAD_SCALE; + wl /= power; - if (rq->nr_running == 1 && wl > imbalance) + if (capacity && rq->nr_running == 1 && wl > imbalance) continue; On a SMT system, power of the HT logical cpu will be 589 and the scheduler load imbalance (for scenarios like the one mentioned above) can be approximately 1024 (SCHED_LOAD_SCALE). The above change of scaling the weighted load with the power will result in "wl > imbalance" and ultimately resulting in find_busiest_queue() return NULL, causing load_balance() to think that the load is well balanced. But infact one of the tasks can be moved to the idle core for optimal performance. We don't need to use the weighted load (wl) scaled by the cpu power to compare with imabalance. In that condition, we already know there is only a single task "rq->nr_running == 1" and the comparison between imbalance, wl is to make sure that we select the correct priority thread which matches imbalance. So we really need to compare the imabalnce with the original weighted load of the cpu and not the scaled load. But in other conditions where we want the most hammered(busiest) cpu, we can use scaled load to ensure that we consider the cpu power in addition to the actual load on that cpu, so that we can move the load away from the guy that is getting most hammered with respect to the actual capacity, as compared with the rest of the cpu's in that busiest group. Fix it.
