2008-03-04x86, i387: fix ptrace leakage using init_fpu()Suresh Siddha
This bug got introduced by the recent i387 merge: commit 4421011120b2304e5c248ae4165a2704588aedf1 Author: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Date: Wed Jan 30 13:31:50 2008 +0100 x86: x86 i387 user_regset Current usage of unlazy_fpu() in ptrace specific routines is wrong. unlazy_fpu() will not init fpu if the task never used math. So the ptrace calls can expose the parent tasks FPU data in some cases. Replace it with the init_fpu() which will init the math state, if the task never used math before.

2008-03-03exit_notify: fix kill_orphaned_pgrp() usage with mt exitOleg Nesterov
1. exit_notify() always calls kill_orphaned_pgrp(). This is wrong, we should do this only when the whole process exits. 2. exit_notify() uses "current" as "ignored_task", obviously wrong. Use ->group_leader instead. Test case: void hup(int sig) { printf("HUP received\n"); } void *tfunc(void *arg) { sleep(2); printf("sub-thread exited\n"); return NULL; } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { if (!fork()) { signal(SIGHUP, hup); kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP); exit(0); } pthread_t thr; pthread_create(&thr, NULL, tfunc, NULL); sleep(1); printf("main thread exited\n"); syscall(__NR_exit, 0); return 0; } output: main thread exited HUP received Hangup With this patch the output is: main thread exited sub-thread exited HUP received Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-03-03will_become_orphaned_pgrp: partially fix insufficient ->exit_state checkOleg Nesterov
p->exit_state != 0 doesn't mean this process is dead, it may have sub-threads. Change the code to use "p->exit_state && thread_group_empty(p)" instead. Without this patch, ^Z doesn't deliver SIGTSTP to the foreground process if the main thread has exited. However, the new check is not perfect either. There is a window when exit_notify() drops tasklist and before release_task(). Suppose that the last (non-leader) thread exits. This means that entire group exits, but thread_group_empty() is not true yet. As Eric pointed out, is_global_init() is wrong as well, but I did not dare to do other changes. Just for the record, has_stopped_jobs() is absolutely wrong too. But we can't fix it now, we should first fix SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED issues. Even with this patch ^Z doesn't play well with the dead main thread. The task is stopped correctly but do_wait(WSTOPPED) won't see it. This is another unrelated issue, will be (hopefully) fixed separately. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-03-03Allow ARG_MAX execve string space even with a small stack limitLinus Torvalds
The new code that removed the limitation on the execve string size (which was historically 32 pages) replaced it with a much softer limit based on RLIMIT_STACK which is usually much larger than the traditional limit. See commit b6a2fea39318e43fee84fa7b0b90d68bed92d2ba ("mm: variable length argument support") for details. However, if you have a small stack limit (perhaps because you need lots of stacks in a threaded environment), the new heuristic of allowing up to 1/4th of RLIMIT_STACK to be used for argument and environment strings could actually be smaller than the old limit. So just say that it's ok to have up to ARG_MAX strings regardless of the value of RLIMIT_STACK, and check the rlimit only when going over that traditional limit. (Of course, if you actually have a *really* small stack limit, the whole stack itself will be limited before you hit ARG_MAX, but that has always been true and is clearly the right behaviour anyway).

2008-03-03[POWERPC] Convert the cell IOMMU fixed mapping to 16M IOMMU pagesMichael Ellerman
The only tricky part is we need to adjust the PTE insertion loop to cater for holes in the page table. The PTEs for each segment start on a 4K boundary, so with 16M pages we have 16 PTEs per segment and then a gap to the next 4K page boundary. It might be possible to allocate the PTEs for each segment separately, saving the memory currently filling the gaps. However we'd need to check that's OK with the hardware, and that it actually saves memory. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

2008-03-03[POWERPC] Cell IOMMU: n_pte_pages is in 4K page units, not IOMMU_PAGE_SIZEMichael Ellerman
We use n_pte_pages to calculate the stride through the page tables, but we also use it to set the NPPT value in the segment table entry. That is defined as the number of 4K pages per segment, so we should calculate it as such regardless of the IOMMU page size.

2008-03-03[POWERPC] Split setup of IOMMU stab and ptab, allocate dynamic/fixed ptabs ↵Michael Ellerman
separately Currently the cell IOMMU code allocates the entire IOMMU page table in a contiguous chunk. This is nice and tidy, but for machines with larger amounts of RAM the page table allocation can fail due to it simply being too large. So split the segment table and page table setup routine, and arrange to have the dynamic and fixed page tables allocated separately.

2008-03-03[POWERPC] Use it_offset not pte_offset in cell IOMMU codeMichael Ellerman
The cell IOMMU tce build and free routines use pte_offset to convert the index passed from the generic IOMMU code into a page table offset. This takes into account the SPIDER_DMA_OFFSET which sets the top bit of every DMA address. However it doesn't cater for the IOMMU window starting at a non-zero address, as the base of the window is not incorporated into pte_offset at all. As it turns out tbl->it_offset already contains the value we need, it takes into account the base of the window and also pte_offset. So use it instead!

2008-03-02firewire: fw-sbp2: better fix for NULL pointer dereference in scsi_remove_deviceStefan Richter
Patch "firewire: fw-sbp2: fix NULL pointer deref. in scsi_remove_device" had the unintended effect that firewire-sbp2 could not be unloaded anymore until all SBP-2 devices were unplugged. We now fix the NULL pointer bug by reacquiring a reference to the sdev instead of holding a reference to the sdev (and to the module) all the time.

2008-03-01[ARM] Fix freeing of page tables for ARM in free_pgd_slowUwe Kleine-König
Since 2f569af (CONFIG_HIGHPTE vs. sub-page page tables.) pte_free() calls pte_lock_deinit() and dec_zone_page_state(). So free_pgd_slow must not call the latter two when calling the first.
