memory_setup is overridden by x86_quirks and by paravirts with weak
functions and quirks. Unify the whole mess and make it an
unconditional x86_init_ops function which defaults to the standard
function and can be overridden by the early platform code.

reserve_ebda_region needs to be called befor start_kernel. Moorestown
needs to override it. Make it a x86_init_ops function and initialize
it with the default reserve_ebda_region.

The 32bit and the 64bit code are slighty different in the reservation
of standard resources. Also the upcoming Moorestown support needs its
own version of that.
Add it to x86_init_ops and initialize it with the 64bit default. 32bit
overrides it in early boot. Now moorestown can add it's own override
w/o sprinkling the code with more #ifdefs

probe_roms is only used on 32bit. Add it to the x86_init ops and
remove the #ifdefs.
Default initializer is x86_init_noop() which is overridden in
the 32bit boot code.

The upcoming Moorestown support brings the embedded world to x86. The
setup code of x86 has already a couple of hooks which are either
x86_quirks or paravirt ops. Some of those setup hooks are pretty
convoluted like the timer setup and the tsc calibration code. But
there are other places which could do with a cleanup.
Instead of having inline functions/macros which are modified at
compile time I decided to introduce x86_init ops which are
unconditional in the code and make it clear that they can be changed
either during compile time or in the early boot process. The function
pointers are initialized by default functions which can be noops so
that the pointer can be called unconditionally in the most cases. This
also allows us to remove 32bit/64bit, paravirt and other #ifdeffery.
paravirt guests are just a hardware platform in the setup code, so we
should treat them as such and not hide all behind multiple layers of
indirection and compile time dependencies.
It's more obvious that x86_init.timers.timer_init() is a function
pointer than the late_time_init = choose_time_init() obscurity. It's
also way simpler to grep for x86_init.timers.timer_init and find all
the places which modify that function pointer instead of analyzing
weak functions, macros and paravirt indirections.
Note. This is not a general paravirt_ops replacement. It just will
move setup related hooks which are potentially useful for other
platform setup purposes as well out of the paravirt domain.
Add the base infrastructure without any functionality.

Reason: The tsc init cleanup depends on sched_clock_init moving past

Some architectures initialize clocks and timers in late_time_init and
x86 wants to do the same to avoid FIXMAP hackery for calibrating the
TSC. That would result in undefined sched_clock readout and wreckaged
printk timestamps again. We probably have those already on archs which
do all their time/clock setup in late_time_init.
There is no harm to move that after late_time_init except that a few
more boot timestamps are stale. The scheduler is not active at that
point so no real wreckage is expected.

When setting the same GPIO number, multiple IRQ shared requests will be
done without freing the previous request. It will also try to free a
failed request or an already freed IRQ if 0 was written to the gpio file.
All these oops and leaks were fixed with the following solution: keep the
previous allocated GPIO (if any) still allocated in case the new request
fails. The alternative solution would desallocate the previous allocated
GPIO and set gpio as 0.

This failure is very common on many platforms. Handling it in the ACPI
processor driver is enough, and we don't need a warning message unless

If the BIOS reports an invalid throttling state (which seems to be
fairly common after system boot), a reset is done to state T0.
Because of a check in acpi_processor_get_throttling_ptc(), the reset
never actually gets executed, which results in the error reoccurring
on every access of for example /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling.
Add a 'force' option to acpi_processor_set_throttling() to ensure
the reset really takes effect.

This patch, together with the next one, fixes a regression introduced in
2.6.30, listed on the regression list. They have been available for 2.5
months now in bugzilla, but have not been picked up, despite various
reminders and without any reason given.
Google shows that numerous people are hitting this issue. The issue is in
itself relatively minor, but the bug in the code is clear.
The patches have been in all my kernels and today testing has shown that
throttling works correctly with the patches applied when the system
overheats (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13918#c14).

Summary:
Kernel panic arise when stack protection is enabled, since strncat will
add a null terminating byte '\0'; So in functions
like this one (wmi_query_block):
char wc[4]="WC";
....
strncat(method, block->object_id, 2);
...
the length of wc should be n+1 (wc[5]) or stack protection
fault will arise. This is not noticeable when stack protection is
disabled,but , isn't good either.
Config used: [CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_ALL=y,
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y]

The return value of the get_temp function is not checked when doing a
thermal zone update. This may lead to a critical shutdown if get_temp
fails and the content of the temp variable is incorrectly set higher than
the critical trip point.
This has been observed on a system with incorrect ACPI implementation
where the corresponding methods were not serialized and therefore
sometimes triggered ACPI errors (AE_ALREADY_EXISTS). The following
critical shutdowns indicated a temperature of 2097 C, which was obviously
wrong.
The patch adds a return value check that jumps over all trip point
evaluations printing a warning if get_temp fails. The trip points are
evaluated again on the next polling interval with successful get_temp
execution.

Spotted by Hiroshi Shimamoto who also provided the test-case below.
copy_process() uses signal->count as a reference counter, but it is not.
This test case
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <pthread.h>
void *null_thread(void *p)
{
for (;;)
sleep(1);
return NULL;
}
void *exec_thread(void *p)
{
execl("/bin/true", "/bin/true", NULL);
return null_thread(p);
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
for (;;) {
pid_t pid;
int ret, status;
pid = fork();
if (pid < 0)
break;
if (!pid) {
pthread_t tid;
pthread_create(&tid, NULL, exec_thread, NULL);
for (;;)
pthread_create(&tid, NULL, null_thread, NULL);
}
do {
ret = waitpid(pid, &status, 0);
} while (ret == -1 && errno == EINTR);
}
return 0;
}
quickly creates an unkillable task.
If copy_process(CLONE_THREAD) races with de_thread()
copy_signal()->atomic(signal->count) breaks the signal->notify_count
logic, and the execing thread can hang forever in kernel space.
Change copy_process() to increment count/live only when we know for sure
we can't fail. In this case the forked thread will take care of its
reference to signal correctly.
If copy_process() fails, check CLONE_THREAD flag. If it it set - do
nothing, the counters were not changed and current belongs to the same
thread group. If it is not set, ->signal must be released in any case
(and ->count must be == 1), the forked child is the only thread in the
thread group.
We need more cleanups here, in particular signal->count should not be used
by de_thread/__exit_signal at all. This patch only fixes the bug.

An mlocked page might lose the isolatation race. This causes the page to
clear PG_mlocked while it remains in a VM_LOCKED vma. This means it can
be put onto the [in]active list. We can rescue it by using try_to_unmap()
in shrink_page_list().
But now, As Wu Fengguang pointed out, vmscan has a bug. If the page has
PG_referenced, it can't reach try_to_unmap() in shrink_page_list() but is
put into the active list. If the page is referenced repeatedly, it can
remain on the [in]active list without being moving to the unevictable
list.
This patch fixes it.

It's problematic to allow signed element_nr's or total's to be passed as
part of the flex array API.
flex_array_alloc() allows total_nr_elements to be set to a negative
quantity, which is obviously erroneous.
flex_array_get() and flex_array_put() allows negative array indices in
dereferencing an array part, which could address memory mapped before
struct flex_array.
The fix is to convert all existing element_nr formals to be qualified as
unsigned. Existing checks to compare it to total_nr_elements or the max
array size based on element_size need not be changed.

If all array elements fit into the base structure and data is copied using
flex_array_put() starting at a non-zero index, flex_array_get() will fail
to return the data.
This fixes the bug by only checking for NULL parts when all elements do
not fit in the base structure when flex_array_get() is used. Otherwise,
fa_element_to_part_nr() will always be 0 since there are no parts
structures needed and such element may never have been put. Thus, it will
remain NULL due to the kzalloc() of the base.
Additionally, flex_array_put() now only checks for a NULL part when all
elements do not fit in the base structure. This is otherwise unnecessary
since the base structure is guaranteed to exist (or we would have already
hit a NULL pointer).

When page alloc debugging is not enabled, we essentially accept any
virtual address for linear kernel TLB misses. But with kgdb, kernel
address probing, and other facilities we can try to access arbitrary
crap.
So, make sure the address we miss on will translate to physical memory
that actually exists.
In order to make this work we have to embed the valid address bitmap
into the kernel image. And in order to make that less expensive we
make an adjustment, in that the max physical memory address is
decreased to "1 << 41", even on the chips that support a 42-bit
physical address space. We can do this because bit 41 indicates
"I/O space" and thus covers non-memory ranges.
The result of this is that:
1) kpte_linear_bitmap shrinks from 2K to 1K in size
2) we need 64K more for the valid address bitmap
We can't let the valid address bitmap be dynamically allocated
once we start using it to validate TLB misses, otherwise we have
crazy issues to deal with wrt. recursive TLB misses and such.
If we're in a TLB miss it could be the deepest trap level that's legal
inside of the cpu. So if we TLB miss referencing the bitmap, the cpu
will be out of trap levels and enter RED state.
To guard against out-of-range accesses to the bitmap, we have to check
to make sure no bits in the physical address above bit 40 are set. We
could export and use last_valid_pfn for this check, but that's just an
unnecessary extra memory reference.
On the plus side of all this, since we load all of these translations
into the special 4MB mapping TSB, and we check the TSB first for TLB
misses, there should be absolutely no real cost for these new checks
in the TLB miss path.

When I rewrote tty ldisc code to use proper reference counts (commits
65b770468e98 and cbe9352fa08f) in order to avoid a race with hangup, the
test-program that Eric Biederman used to trigger the original problem
seems to have exposed another long-standing bug: the hangup code did the
'tty_ldisc_halt()' to stop any buffer flushing activity, but unlike the
other call sites it never actually flushed any pending work.
As a result, if you get just the right timing, the pending work may be
just about to execute (ie the timer has already triggered and thus
cancel_delayed_work() was a no-op), when we then re-initialize the ldisc
from under it.
That, in turn, results in various random problems, usually seen as a
NULL pointer dereference in run_timer_softirq() or a BUG() in
worker_thread (but it can be almost anything).
Fix it by adding the required 'flush_scheduled_work()' after doing the
tty_ldisc_halt() (this also requires us to move the ldisc halt to before
taking the ldisc mutex in order to avoid a deadlock with the workqueue
executing do_tty_hangup, which requires the mutex).
The locking should be cleaned up one day (the requirement to do this
outside the ldisc_mutex is very annoying, and weakens the lock), but
that's a larger and separate undertaking.
