The following part of commit 9ef621d3be56e1188300476a8102ff54f7b6793f (KVM: Support mixed endian machines) changed on the size of a struct that is exported to userspace: include/linux/kvm.h: @@ -318,14 +318,14 @@ struct kvm_trace_rec { __u32 vcpu_id; union { struct { - __u32 cycle_lo, cycle_hi; + __u64 cycle_u64; __u32 extra_u32[KVM_TRC_EXTRA_MAX]; } cycle; struct { __u32 extra_u32[KVM_TRC_EXTRA_MAX]; } nocycle; } u; -}; +} __attribute__((packed)); Packing a struct was the correct idea, but it packed the wrong struct.

2008-08-22libata: Fix a large collection of DMA mode mismatchesAlan Cox1-0/+22
Dave Müller sent a diff for the pata_oldpiix that highlighted a problem where a lot of the ATA drivers assume dma_mode == 0 means "no DMA" while the core code uses 0xFF. This turns out to have other consequences such as code doing >= XFER_UDMA_0 also catching 0xFF as UDMAlots. Fortunately it doesn't generally affect set_dma_mode, although some drivers call back into their own set mode code from other points. Having been through the drivers I've added helpers for using_udma/using_mwdma dma_enabled so that people don't open code ranges that may change (eg if UDMA8 appears somewhere) Thanks to David for the initial bits [and added fix for pata_oldpiix from and signed-off-by Dave Mueller <dave.mueller@gmx.ch> -jg] Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
2008-08-22libata: restore SControl on detachTejun Heo1-0/+1
Save SControl during probing and restore it on detach. This prevents adjustments made by libata drivers to seep into the next driver which gets attached (be it a libata one or not). It's not clear whether SControl also needs to be restored on suspend. The next system to have control (ACPI or kexec'd kernel) would probably like to see the original SControl value but there's no guarantee that a link is gonna keep working after SControl is adjusted without a reset and adding a reset and modified recovery cycle soley for this is an overkill. For now, do it only for detach. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

2008-08-21USB: Defer Set-Interface for suspended devicesAlan Stern1-0/+3
This patch (as1128) fixes one of the problems related to the new PM infrastructure. We are not allowed to register new child devices during the middle of a system sleep transition, but unbinding a USB driver causes the core to automatically install altsetting 0 and thereby create new endpoint pseudo-devices. The patch fixes this problem (and the related problem that installing altsetting 0 will fail if the device is suspended) by deferring the Set-Interface call until some later time when it is legal and can succeed. Possible later times are: when a new driver is being probed for the interface, and when the interface is being resumed.

On the tickless system(CONFIG_NO_HZ=y and CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n), after I made an offlined cpu online, I found this cpu's event handler was tick_handle_periodic, not tick_nohz_handler.

2008-08-20mm: dirty page tracking race fixNick Piggin1-1/+1
There is a race with dirty page accounting where a page may not properly be accounted for. clear_page_dirty_for_io() calls page_mkclean; then TestClearPageDirty. page_mkclean walks the rmaps for that page, and for each one it cleans and write protects the pte if it was dirty. It uses page_check_address to find the pte. That function has a shortcut to avoid the ptl if the pte is not present. Unfortunately, the pte can be switched to not-present then back to present by other code while holding the page table lock -- this should not be a signal for page_mkclean to ignore that pte, because it may be dirty. For example, powerpc64's set_pte_at will clear a previously present pte before setting it to the desired value. There may also be other code in core mm or in arch which do similar things. The consequence of the bug is loss of data integrity due to msync, and loss of dirty page accounting accuracy. XIP's __xip_unmap could easily also be unreliable (depending on the exact XIP locking scheme), which can lead to data corruption. Fix this by having an option to always take ptl to check the pte in page_check_address. It's possible to retain this optimization for page_referenced and try_to_unmap.

When user calls sys_setpriority(PRIO_PGRP ...) on a NPTL style multi-LWP process, only the task leader of the process is affected, all other sibling LWP threads didn't receive the setting. The problem was that the iterator used in sys_setpriority() only iteartes over one task for each process, ignoring all other sibling thread.

2008-08-16Fix header export of videodev2.h, ivtv.h, ivtvfb.hDavid Woodhouse4-12/+6
The exported copy of videodev2.h contains this line: #define #include <sys/time.h> This is because for some reason it defines __user for itself -- despite the fact that we remove all instances of __user when exporting headers. _All_ pointers in userspace are user pointers. Fix it by removing the unnecessary '#define __user' from the file. The new headers ivtv.h and ivtvfb.h would have the same problem... if whoever put them there had actually remembered to add them to the Kbuild file while he was at it. Fix those too, and export them as was presumably intended. Note that includes of <linux/compiler.h> are also stripped by the header export process, so those don't need to be conditional.

2008-08-14security: Fix setting of PF_SUPERPRIV by __capable()David Howells2-16/+38
Fix the setting of PF_SUPERPRIV by __capable() as it could corrupt the flags the target process if that is not the current process and it is trying to change its own flags in a different way at the same time. __capable() is using neither atomic ops nor locking to protect t->flags. This patch removes __capable() and introduces has_capability() that doesn't set PF_SUPERPRIV on the process being queried. This patch further splits security_ptrace() in two: (1) security_ptrace_may_access(). This passes judgement on whether one process may access another only (PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH for ptrace() and PTRACE_MODE_READ for /proc), and takes a pointer to the child process. current is the parent. (2) security_ptrace_traceme(). This passes judgement on PTRACE_TRACEME only, and takes only a pointer to the parent process. current is the child. In Smack and commoncap, this uses has_capability() to determine whether the parent will be permitted to use PTRACE_ATTACH if normal checks fail. This does not set PF_SUPERPRIV. Two of the instances of __capable() actually only act on current, and so have been changed to calls to capable(). Of the places that were using __capable(): (1) The OOM killer calls __capable() thrice when weighing the killability of a process. All of these now use has_capability(). (2) cap_ptrace() and smack_ptrace() were using __capable() to check to see whether the parent was allowed to trace any process. As mentioned above, these have been split. For PTRACE_ATTACH and /proc, capable() is now used, and for PTRACE_TRACEME, has_capability() is used. (3) cap_safe_nice() only ever saw current, so now uses capable(). (4) smack_setprocattr() rejected accesses to tasks other than current just after calling __capable(), so the order of these two tests have been switched and capable() is used instead. (5) In smack_file_send_sigiotask(), we need to allow privileged processes to receive SIGIO on files they're manipulating. (6) In smack_task_wait(), we let a process wait for a privileged process, whether or not the process doing the waiting is privileged. I've tested this with the LTP SELinux and syscalls testscripts.

2008-08-13usb: musb: pass configuration specifics via pdataFelipe Balbi1-5/+33
Use platform_data to pass musb configuration-specific details to musb driver. This patch will prevent that other platforms selecting HAVE_CLK and enabling musb won't break tree building. The other parts of it will come when linux-omap merge up more omap2/3 board-files.

2008-08-13usb-serial: don't release unregistered minorsAlan Stern1-1/+2
This patch (as1121) fixes a bug in the USB serial core. When a device is unregistered, the core will give back its minors -- even if the device hasn't been assigned any! The patch reserves the highest minor value (255) to mean that no minor was assigned. It also removes some dead code and does a small style fixup.

2008-08-14CRED: Introduce credential access wrappersDavid Howells2-0/+51
The patches that are intended to introduce copy-on-write credentials for 2.6.28 require abstraction of access to some fields of the task structure, particularly for the case of one task accessing another's credentials where RCU will have to be observed. Introduced here are trivial no-op versions of the desired accessors for current and other tasks so that other subsystems can start to be converted over more easily. Wrappers are introduced into a new header (linux/cred.h) for UID/GID, EUID/EGID, SUID/SGID, FSUID/FSGID, cap_effective and current's subscribed user_struct. These wrappers are macros because the ordering between header files mitigates against making them inline functions. linux/cred.h is #included from linux/sched.h. Further, XFS is modified such that it no longer defines and uses parameterised versions of current_fs[ug]id(), thus getting rid of the namespace collision otherwise incurred.

2008-08-13[XFS] extend completions to provide XFS object flush requirementsDavid Chinner1-0/+45
XFS object flushing doesn't quite match existing completion semantics. It mixed exclusive access with completion. That is, we need to mark an object as being flushed before flushing it to disk, and then block any other attempt to flush it until the completion occurs. We do this but adding an extra count to the completion before we start using them. However, we still need to determine if there is a completion in progress, and allow no-blocking attempts fo completions to decrement the count. To do this we introduce: int try_wait_for_completion(struct completion *x) returns a failure status if done == 0, otherwise decrements done to zero and returns a "started" status. This is provided to allow counted completions to begin safely while holding object locks in inverted order. int completion_done(struct completion *x) returns 1 if there is no waiter, 0 if there is a waiter (i.e. a completion in progress). This replaces the use of semaphores for providing this exclusion and completion mechanism.
