2008-05-01kexec: make extended crashkernel= syntax less confusingMichael Ellerman
The extended crashkernel syntax is a little confusing in the way it handles ranges. eg: crashkernel=512M-2G:64M,2G-:128M Means if the machine has between 512M and 2G of memory the crash region should be 64M, and if the machine has 2G of memory the region should be 64M. Only if the machine has more than 2G memory will 128M be allocated. Although that semantic is correct, it is somewhat baffling. Instead I propose that the end of the range means the first address past the end of the range, ie: 512M up to but not including 2G.

2008-05-01vfs: fix permission checking in sys_utimensatMiklos Szeredi
If utimensat() is called with both times set to UTIME_NOW or one of them to UTIME_NOW and the other to UTIME_OMIT, then it will update the file time without any permission checking. I don't think this can be used for anything other than a local DoS, but could be quite bewildering at that (e.g. "Why was that large source tree rebuilt when I didn't modify anything???") This affects all kernels from 2.6.22, when the utimensat() syscall was introduced. Fix by doing the same permission checking as for the "times == NULL" case. Thanks to Michael Kerrisk, whose utimensat-non-conformances-and-fixes.patch in -mm also fixes this (and breaks other stuff), only he didn't realize the security implications of this bug.

2008-05-01ntp: increase time_offset resolutionRoman Zippel
time_offset is already a 64bit value but its resolution barely used, so this makes better use of it by replacing SHIFT_UPDATE with TICK_LENGTH_SHIFT.

2008-05-01ntp: increase time_freq resolutionRoman Zippel
This changes time_freq to a 64bit value and makes it static (the only outside user had no real need to modify it). Intermediate values were already 64bit, so the change isn't that big, but it saves a little in shifts by replacing SHIFT_NSEC with TICK_LENGTH_SHIFT. PPM_SCALE is then used to convert between user space and kernel space representation.

This adds a few more things from the ntp nanokernel related to user space. It's now possible to select the resolution used of some values via STA_NANO and the kernel reports in which mode it works (pll/fll). If some values for adjtimex() are outside the acceptable range, they are now simply normalized instead of letting the syscall fail. I removed MOD_CLKA/MOD_CLKB as the mapping didn't really makes any sense, the kernel doesn't support setting the clock.

2008-05-01remove div_long_long_remRoman Zippel
x86 is the only arch right now, which provides an optimized for div_long_long_rem and it has the downside that one has to be very careful that the divide doesn't overflow. The API is a little akward, as the arguments for the unsigned divide are signed. The signed version also doesn't handle a negative divisor and produces worse code on 64bit archs. There is little incentive to keep this API alive, so this converts the few users to the new API.

2008-05-01introduce explicit signed/unsigned 64bit divideRoman Zippel
The current do_div doesn't explicitly say that it's unsigned and the signed counterpart is missing, which is e.g. needed when dealing with time values. This introduces 64bit signed/unsigned divide functions which also attempts to cleanup the somewhat awkward calling API, which often requires the use of temporary variables for the dividend. To avoid the need for temporary variables everywhere for the remainder, each divide variant also provides a version which doesn't return the remainder. Each architecture can now provide optimized versions of these function, otherwise generic fallback implementations will be used. As an example I provided an alternative for the current x86 divide, which avoids the asm casts and using an union allows gcc to generate better code. It also avoids the upper divde in a few more cases, where the result is known (i.e. upper quotient is zero).

2008-05-01Fix cpu hotplug problem in softirq codeChristian Borntraeger
currently cpu hotplug (unplug) seems broken on s390 and likely others. On cpu unplug the system starts to behave very strange and hangs. I bisected the problem to the following commit: commit 48f20a9a9488c432fc86df1ff4b7f4fa895d1183 Author: Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net> Date: Tue Mar 4 15:23:25 2008 -0800 tasklets: execute tasklets in the same order they were queued Reverting this patch seems to fix the problem. I looked into takeover_tasklet and it seems that there is a way to corrupt the tail pointer of the current cpu. If the tasklet list of the frozen cpu is empty, the tail pointer of the current cpu points to the address of the head pointer of the stopped cpu and not to the next pointer of a tasklet_struct. This patch avoids the list splice of the list is empty and cpu hotplug seems to work as the tail pointer is not corrupted. Olof, can you look into that patch and ACK/NACK it so Andrew can push this to Linus, if appropriate? Please note that some lines are longer than 80 chars, but line-wrapping looked worse that this version.

2008-04-30Fix dnotify/close raceAl Viro
We have a race between fcntl() and close() that can lead to dnotify_struct inserted into inode's list *after* the last descriptor had been gone from current->files. Since that's the only point where dnotify_struct gets evicted, we are screwed - it will stick around indefinitely. Even after struct file in question is gone and freed. Worse, we can trigger send_sigio() on it at any later point, which allows to send an arbitrary signal to arbitrary process if we manage to apply enough memory pressure to get the page that used to host that struct file and fill it with the right pattern...

2008-04-30x86: Mark OPTIMIZE_INLINING brokenLinus Torvalds
So Ingo finally did figure out why UML broke with this option: UML passes gcc the -fno-unit-at-a-time flag, and apparently that wreaks havoc with gcc's inlining. We could turn off -fno-unit-at-a-time for UML for gcc4+ (which is what x86 does), but there's bad blood about this whole option, and it does show that the thing is just fragile as heck. So let tempers cool, and disable the thing, and we can revisit the decision later.

2008-04-30pcmcia: remove pccard_sysfs_interface warningsDavid Brownell
Make the PCMCIA core stop using class_interface to hide socket attribute registration. This removes the associated section mismatch warnings, and helps get to the point where that mechanism can finally be removed. Simplify that attribute registration by using an attribute_group. This is a net shrink in object size. Signed-off-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2008-04-30devres: support addresses greater than an unsigned long via dev_ioremapKumar Gala
Use a resource_size_t instead of unsigned long since some arch's are capable of having ioremap deal with addresses greater than the size of a unsigned long.
