2008-07-10slub: Fix use-after-preempt of per-CPU data structureDmitry Adamushko1-1/+3

The disassembly: mov %edx,%ecx shr $0x2,%ecx rep stos %eax,%es:(%edi) <-- the fault So %ecx has been loaded from %edx... which is 0x6b6b6b6b/POISON_FREE. (0x6b6b6b6b >> 2 == 0x1adadada.) %ecx is the counter for the memset, from here: memset(object, 0, c->objsize); i.e. %ecx was loaded from c->objsize, so "c" must have been freed. Where did "c" come from? Uh-oh... c = get_cpu_slab(s, smp_processor_id()); This looks like it has very much to do with CPU hotplug/unplug. Is there a race between SLUB/hotplug since the CPU slab is used after it has been freed?" Good analysis. Yeah, it's possible that a caller of kmem_cache_alloc() -> slab_alloc() can be migrated on another CPU right after local_irq_restore() and before memset(). The inital cpu can become offline in the mean time (or a migration is a consequence of the CPU going offline) so its 'kmem_cache_cpu' structure gets freed ( slab_cpuup_callback). At some point of time the caller continues on another CPU having an obsolete pointer...

2008-07-10exec: fix stack excutability without PT_GNU_STACKHugh Dickins1-1/+1
Kernel Bugzilla #11063 points out that on some architectures (e.g. x86_32) exec'ing an ELF without a PT_GNU_STACK program header should default to an executable stack; but this got broken by the unlimited argv feature because stack vma is now created before the right personality has been established: so breaking old binaries using nested function trampolines. Therefore re-evaluate VM_STACK_FLAGS in setup_arg_pages, where stack vm_flags used to be set, before the mprotect_fixup. Checking through our existing VM_flags, none would have changed since insert_vm_struct: so this seems safer than finding a way through the personality labyrinth.

2008-07-10Fix PREEMPT_RCU without HOTPLUG_CPUNick Piggin1-12/+8
PREEMPT_RCU without HOTPLUG_CPU is broken. The rcu_online_cpu is called to initially populate rcu_cpu_online_map with all online CPUs when the hotplug event handler is installed, and also to populate the map with CPUs as they come online. The former case is meant to happen with and without HOTPLUG_CPU, but without HOTPLUG_CPU, the rcu_offline_cpu function is no-oped -- while it still gets called, it does not set the rcu CPU map. With a blank RCU CPU map, grace periods get to tick by completely oblivious to active RCU read side critical sections. This results in free-before-grace bugs. Fix is obvious once the problem is known. (Also, change __devinit to __cpuinit so the function gets thrown away on !HOTPLUG_CPU kernels).

The stack-glue merge changed the way we use flags in dlmglue in that we now use the fs/dlm equivalents. Unfortunately, a merge error left the new flock code only partially updated. This took a while to show up though, because the lock level constants are actually identical between o2dlm and fs/dlm.

Another thought is that individual pages might perhaps get evicted by VM pressure, in which case we might perhaps want to re-read not only the evicted page, but all subsequent pages too (in case the server returns more/less data per page so that the alignment of the next entry changes). We should therefore remove the condition that we only do this on page->index==0. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

The driver uses completely bogus rounding formula for calculating period from the IDECLK frequency which gives one-off period values (e.g. 11 ns with 100 MHz IDECLK) which in turn can lead to overclocked IDE transfer timings. Actually, rounding is just wrong in this case, so use a mere division for a safe result.

2008-07-08Correct hash flushing from huge_ptep_set_wrprotect()David Gibson2-6/+10
As Andy Whitcroft recently pointed out, the current powerpc version of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() has a bug. It just calls ptep_set_wrprotect() which in turn calls pte_update() then hpte_need_flush() with the 'huge' argument set to 0. This will cause hpte_need_flush() to flush the wrong hash entries (of any). Andy's fix for this is already in the powerpc tree as commit 016b33c4958681c24056abed8ec95844a0da80a3. I have confirmed this is a real bug, not masked by some other synchronization, with a new testcase for libhugetlbfs. A process write a (MAP_PRIVATE) hugepage mapping, fork(), then alter the mapping and have the child incorrectly see the second write. Therefore, this should be fixed for 2.6.26, and for the stable tree. Here is a suitable patch for 2.6.26, which I think will also be suitable for the stable tree (neither of the headers in question has been changed much recently). It is cut down slighlty from Andy's original version, in that it does not include a 32-bit version of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect(). Currently, hugepages are not supported on any 32-bit powerpc platform. When they are, a suitable 32-bit version can be added - the only 32-bit hardware which supports hugepages does not use the conventional hashtable MMU and so will have different needs anyway.

They print out a pointer in symbolic format, if possible (ie using symbolic KALLSYMS information). The '%pS' format is for regular direct pointers (which can point to data or code and that you find on the stack during backtraces etc), while '%pF' is for C function pointer types. On most architectures, the two mean exactly the same thing, but some architectures use an indirect pointer for C function pointers, where the function pointer points to a function descriptor (which in turn contains the actual pointer to the code). The '%pF' code automatically does the appropriate function descriptor dereference on such architectures. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-07-06vsprintf: add infrastructure support for extended '%p' specifiersLinus Torvalds1-2/+14
This expands the kernel '%p' handling with an arbitrary alphanumberic specifier extension string immediately following the '%p'. Right now it's just being ignored, but the next commit will start adding some specific pointer type extensions. NOTE! The reason the extension is appended to the '%p' is to allow minimal gcc type checking: gcc will still see the '%p' and will check that the argument passed in is indeed a pointer, and yet will not complain about the extended information that gcc doesn't understand about (on the other hand, it also won't actually check that the pointer type and the extension are compatible). Alphanumeric characters were chosen because there is no sane existing use for a string format with a hex pointer representation immediately followed by alphanumerics (which is what such a format string would have traditionally resulted in).

2008-07-06vsprintf: split out '%p' handling logicLinus Torvalds1-9/+11
The actual code is the same, just split out into a helper function. This makes it easier to read, and allows for simple future extension of %p handling. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-07-06vsprintf: split out '%s' handling logicLinus Torvalds1-26/+31
The actual code is the same, just split out into a helper function. This makes it easier to read, and allows for future sharing of the string code. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
