[PATCH] m32r: fix sys_tas system call for m32r
This patch fixes a sys_tas system call for m32r.
- This patch fixes an Oops at sys_tas() in case CONFIG_SMP && CONFIG_PREEMPT.
> Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address XXXXXXXX
It is because a page fault happens at the spin_locked region in sys_tas()
and in_atomic() checks preempt_count, but spin_lock() already counts up
the preemt_count.

- sys_tas() is used for user-level mutual exclusion for the m32r,
which is prepared to implement a linuxthreads library.
The above problem may be happened in a program, which uses
pthread_mutex_lock(), calls sys_tas().
The current m32r instruction set has no user-level locking
functions for mutual exclusion.
# I hope it will be fixed in the future...
- This patch fixes the problem by using _raw_spin_lock() instead of
spin_lock(). spin_lock() increments up preemt_count, on the contrary,
_raw_sping_lock() does not.

[PATCH] generic irq subsystem: core
The main goal of this patch is to consolidate all the different but still
fundamentally similar arch/*/kernel/irq.c code into the kernel/irq/ subsystem.
There are 4 new files in the kernel/irq/ directory:
- handle.c: core bits: __do_IRQ() and handle_IRQ_event(),
callable from arch-specific irq.c code.
- manage.c: the main driver apis
- spurious.c: the handling of buggy interrupt sources.
- autoprobe.c: probing of interrupts - older code but still in use.
- proc.c: /proc/irq/ code.
- internals.h for irq-core-internal interfaces not visible to drivers
nor arch PIC code.
An architecture enables the generic hardirq code by defining
CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS in its arch Kconfig. People doing this conversion
should check out the x86/x64/ppc/ppc64 patches for details - the conversion is
quite straightforward but every converted function (i.e. every function
removed from the arch irq.c) _must_ be matched to the generic version and if
there is any detail that the generic code should do it has to be added to the
generic code. All of the currently converted 4 architectures were converted
like that, and the generic code was extended/fixed along the way.
Other changes related to this patchset:
- clean up the irq include files (linux/irq.h, linux/interrupt.h,
linux/hardirq.h) and consolidate asm-*/[hard]irq.h. Note, to keep all
non-touched architectures in an untouched state this consolidation is
done carefully and strictly under CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS.
Once the consolidation is done we can do a couple of final cleanups
to reach the following logical splitup of 3 include files:
linux/interrupt.h: driver-visible APIs and details
linux/irq.h: core irq and arch-PIC code, internals
asm-*/irq.h: arch PIC and irq delivery details
the following include files will likely vanish:
linux/hardirq.h merges into linux/irq.h

[PATCH] exec: fix posix-timers leak and pending signal loss
I've found some problems with exec and fixed them with this patch to
de_thread.
The second problem is that a multithreaded exec loses all pending signals.
This is violation of POSIX rules. But a moment's thought will show it's
also just not desireable: if you send a process a SIGTERM while it's in the
middle of calling exec, you expect either the original program in that
process or the new program being exec'd to handle that signal or be killed
by it. As it stands now, you can try to kill a process and have that
signal just evaporate if it's multithreaded and calls exec just then. I
really don't know what the rationale was behind the de_thread code that
allocates a new signal_struct. It doesn't make any sense now. The other
code there ensures that the old signal_struct is no longer shared. Except
for posix-timers, all the state there is stuff you want to keep. So my
changes just keep the old structs when they are no longer shared, and all
the right state is retained (after clearing out posix-timers).
The final bug is that the cumulative statistics of dead threads and dead
child processes are lost in the abandoned signal_struct. This is also
fixed by holding on to it instead of replacing it.

[PATCH] fix PTRACE_ATTACH race with real parent's wait calls
There is a race between PTRACE_ATTACH and the real parent calling wait.
For a moment, the task is put in PT_PTRACED but with its parent still
pointing to its real_parent. In this circumstance, if the real parent
calls wait without the WUNTRACED flag, he can see a stopped child status,
which wait should never return without WUNTRACED when the caller is not
using ptrace. Here it is not the caller that is using ptrace, but some
third party.
This patch avoids this race condition by adding the PT_ATTACHED flag to
distinguish a real parent from a ptrace_attach parent when PT_PTRACED is
set, and then having wait use this flag to confirm that things are in order
and not consider the child ptraced when its ->ptrace flags are set but its
parent links have not yet been switched. (ptrace_check_attach also uses it
similarly to rule out a possible race with a bogus ptrace call by the real
parent during ptrace_attach.)
While looking into this, I noticed that every arch's sys_execve has:
current->ptrace &= ~PT_DTRACE;
with no locking at all. So, if an exec happens in a race with
PTRACE_ATTACH, you could wind up with ->ptrace not having PT_PTRACED set
because this store clobbered it. That will cause later BUG hits because
the parent links indicate ptracedness but the flag is not set. The patch
corrects all the places I found to use task_lock around diddling ->ptrace
when it's possible to be racing with ptrace_attach. (The ptrace operation
code itself doesn't have this issue because it already excludes anyone else
being in ptrace_attach.)

[PATCH] make rlimit settings per-process instead of per-thread
POSIX specifies that the limit settings provided by getrlimit/setrlimit are
shared by the whole process, not specific to individual threads. This
patch changes the behavior of those calls to comply with POSIX.
I've moved the struct rlimit array from task_struct to signal_struct, as it
has the correct sharing properties. (This reduces kernel memory usage per
thread in multithreaded processes by around 100/200 bytes for 32/64
machines respectively.) I took a fairly minimal approach to the locking
issues with the newly shared struct rlimit array. It turns out that all
the code that is checking limits really just needs to look at one word at a
time (one rlim_cur field, usually). It's only the few places like
getrlimit itself (and fork), that require atomicity in accessing a whole
struct rlimit, so I just used a spin lock for them and no locking for most
of the checks. If it turns out that readers of struct rlimit need more
atomicity where they are now cheap, or less overhead where they are now
atomic (e.g. fork), then seqcount is certainly the right thing to use for
them instead of readers using the spin lock. Though it's in signal_struct,
I didn't use siglock since the access to rlimits never needs to disable
irqs and doesn't overlap with other siglock uses. Instead of adding
something new, I overloaded task_lock(task->group_leader) for this; it is
used for other things that are not likely to happen simultaneously with
limit tweaking. To me that seems preferable to adding a word, but it would
be trivial (and arguably cleaner) to add a separate lock for these users
(or e.g. just use seqlock, which adds two words but is optimal for readers).
Most of the changes here are just the trivial s/->rlim/->signal->rlim/.
I stumbled across what must be a long-standing bug, in reparent_to_init.
It does:
memcpy(current->rlim, init_task.rlim, sizeof(*(current->rlim)));
when surely it was intended to be:
memcpy(current->rlim, init_task.rlim, sizeof(current->rlim));
As rlim is an array, the * in the sizeof expression gets the size of the
first element, so this just changes the first limit (RLIMIT_CPU). This is
for kernel threads, where it's clear that resetting all the rlimits is what
you want. With that fixed, the setting of RLIMIT_FSIZE in nfsd is
superfluous since it will now already have been reset to RLIM_INFINITY.
The other subtlety is removing:
tsk->rlim[RLIMIT_CPU].rlim_cur = RLIM_INFINITY;
in exit_notify, which was to avoid a race signalling during self-reaping
exit. As the limit is now shared, a dying thread should not change it for
others. Instead, I avoid that race by checking current->state before the
RLIMIT_CPU check. (Adding one new conditional in that path is now required
one way or another, since if not for this check there would also be a new
race with self-reaping exit later on clearing current->signal that would
have to be checked for.)
The one loose end left by this patch is with process accounting.
do_acct_process temporarily resets the RLIMIT_FSIZE limit while writing the
accounting record. I left this as it was, but it is now changing a limit
that might be shared by other threads still running. I left this in a
dubious state because it seems to me that processing accounting may already
be more generally a dubious state when it comes to NPTL threads. I would
think you would want one record per process, with aggregate data about all
threads that ever lived in it, not a separate record for each thread.
I don't use process accounting myself, but if anyone is interested in
testing it out I could provide a patch to change it this way.
One final note, this is not 100% to POSIX compliance in regards to rlimits.

[PATCH] parport_pc superio chip fixes
This patch fixes some troubles that somebody reported me with the superio
chips.
In short rmmod parport_pc && cat /proc/iomem was good enough for crashing
the box hard on some machine (and hwscan --printer was doing just that).
The way the oops triggers is that iomem tries to vsprintf the p->name, but
the p->name was a static string in the module address (now unloaded).
The reason is that the superio chip scanning leaves up to two persistent
ranges claimed. But the second (legacy) pass has no way to notice the
resources are already reclaimed. Plus if the superio->io was different
than the "io" variable (the range to scan for superio chips) the "io" range
would generate a leak of the original "io" range too.
I simply make sure to always release the requested space during the superio
scan, and I make sure not to istantiate new ranges in the p->base that
would cause the later parport scan to fail too (plus leaving up to leaked
resources).
The previous code that was returning values and was leaving garbage in
there made no sense to me. My best guess (assuming I didn't misread it ;)
is that probably somebody added the request_region without realizing
they're pointing to the very same address that would be requested later
(and nobody does accesses on those ranges until later, so it was very safe
to claim it later).
Disclaimer: I don't have the specs of the winbond and smsc at hand, I just
guessed what they do from the code (nothing checks superio->io except
get_superio_dma get_superio_irq, which made the thing enough self
explainatory to fix it without specs)

[PATCH] add sys_setaltroot()
Add a new system call setaltroot(2).
Currently, using the altroot feature is accessible only via the
set_personality() system call. It is accessible to user space only if there
is more than one exec domain in the system. This patch allows using the
altroot feature on systems where there is only one exec domain.
It is possible to work around the issue by adding a dummy exec domain, but it
was rejected for not being very elegant.
If this feature is implemented in userspace, it adds a 16% overhead on a test
case which greps for a single word in the kernel source tree.

[PATCH] cciss: fixes for clustering
This patch changes our open specifically for clustering software. We must
allow root to access any volume or device with a LUN ID. We also modified
our revalidate function for this reason.
If a logical is reserved, we must register it with the OS with size=0. Then
the backup system can call BLKRRPART after breaking the reservation to
set the device to the correct size.
We also must register a controller with no logical volumes for the online
utilities to function. This is the way we've done it since the 2.2 kernel.
Which doesn't neccesarily make it right, but we have legacy apps to consider.

[PATCH] security issue in firmware system
The firmware loader has a security issue. Firmware on some devices can
write to all memory through DMA. Therefore the ability to feed firmware
to the kernel is equivalent to writing to /dev/kmem. CAP_SYS_RAWIO is
needed to protect itself.
[ Editors note: the firmware file is 0644, and owned by root, so this

capabilities explicitly, rather than the regular Unix permissions.

[PATCH] kswapd lockup fix
Fix some bugs in the kswapd logic which can cause kswapd lockups.
The balance_pgdat() logic is supposed to cause kswapd to loop across all zones
in the node until each zone either
a) has enough pages free or
b) is deemed to be in an "all pages unreclaimable" state.
In the latter case, we just give the zone a light scan on each balance_pgdat()
scan and wait for the zone to come back to life again.
But the zone->all_unreclaimable logic is broken - if the zone has no pages on
the LRU at all, we perform no scanning of that zone (of course). So the
zone->pages_scanned is not incremented and the expression
if (zone->pages_scanned > zone->present_pages * 2)
zone->all_unreclaimable = 1;
so if the zone has no LRU pages it will still enter the all_unreclaimable
state.
Another problem is that if the zone has no LRU pages we will tell
shrink_slab() that we scanned zero LRU pages. This causes shrink_slab() to
scan zero slab objects, which is obviously wrong. So change shrink_slab() to
perform a decent chunk of slab scanning in this situation.
And put a cond_resched() into the balance_pgdat() outer loop. Probably
unnecessary, but that's what Jeff had in place when he confirmed that this
patch fixed the lockup :(
