When the function graph tracer picks a return address, it ensures this address
is really a kernel text one by calling __kernel_text_address()
Actually this path has never been taken.Its role was more likely to debug the tracer
on the beginning of its development but this function is wasteful since it is called
for every traced function.
The fault check is already sufficient.

For historical reason, this driver used its own saving/restoring
of the PCI config space, and used the state of it on resume as
an indication as to whether it needed to re-POST the chip or not.
This methods breaks with the later core changes since the core will
have restored things for us.
This patch fixes it by removing that custom code, using standard
core methods to save/restore state, and testing for the need to
re-POST by comparing the content of a few key PLL registers.

This fixes aty128fb to properly save the PCI config space -before- it
potentially switches the PM state of the chip. This avoids a
warning with the new PM core and is the right thing to do anyway.
I also replaced the hand-coded switch to D2 with a call to the
genericc pci_set_power_state() and removed the code that switches it
back to D0 since the generic code is doing that for us nowadays.

Impact: clean up
Now that a generic in_nmi is available, this patch removes the
special code in the ring_buffer and implements the in_nmi generic
version instead.

The function graph tracer piggy backed onto the dynamic ftracer
to use the in_nmi custom code for dynamic tracing. The problem
was (as Andrew Morton pointed out) it really only wanted to bail
out if the context of the current CPU was in NMI context. But the
dynamic ftrace in_nmi custom code was true if _any_ CPU happened
to be in NMI context.
Now that we have a generic in_nmi interface, this patch changes
the function graph code to use it instead of the dynamic ftarce
custom code.

This code adds an in_nmi() macro that uses the current tasks preempt count
to track when it is in NMI context. Other parts of the kernel can
use this to determine if the context is in NMI context or not.
This code was inspired by the -rt patch in_nmi version that was
written by Peter Zijlstra, who borrowed that code from
Mathieu Desnoyers.

Impact: clean up
The in_nmi variable in x86 arch ftrace.c is a misnomer.
Andrew Morton pointed out that the in_nmi variable is incremented
by all CPUS. It can be set when another CPU is running an NMI.
Since this is actually intentional, the fix is to rename it to
what it really is: "nmi_running"

Impact: prevent deadlock in NMI
The ring buffers are not yet totally lockless with writing to
the buffer. When a writer crosses a page, it grabs a per cpu spinlock
to protect against a reader. The spinlocks taken by a writer are not
to protect against other writers, since a writer can only write to
its own per cpu buffer. The spinlocks protect against readers that
can touch any cpu buffer. The writers are made to be reentrant
with the spinlocks disabling interrupts.
The problem arises when an NMI writes to the buffer, and that write
crosses a page boundary. If it grabs a spinlock, it can be racing
with another writer (since disabling interrupts does not protect
against NMIs) or with a reader on the same CPU. Luckily, most of the
users are not reentrant and protects against this issue. But if a
user of the ring buffer becomes reentrant (which is what the ring
buffers do allow), if the NMI also writes to the ring buffer then
we risk the chance of a deadlock.
This patch moves the ftrace_nmi_enter called by nmi_enter() to the
ring buffer code. It replaces the current ftrace_nmi_enter that is
used by arch specific code to arch_ftrace_nmi_enter and updates
the Kconfig to handle it.
When an NMI is called, it will set a per cpu variable in the ring buffer
code and will clear it when the NMI exits. If a write to the ring buffer
crosses page boundaries inside an NMI, a trylock is used on the spin
lock instead. If the spinlock fails to be acquired, then the entry
is discarded.
This bug appeared in the ftrace work in the RT tree, where event tracing
is reentrant. This workaround solved the deadlocks that appeared there.

Impact: fix to prevent developers from using entry->cpu
With the new ring buffer infrastructure, the cpu for the entry is
implicit with which CPU buffer it is on.
The original code use to record the current cpu into the generic
entry header, which can be retrieved by entry->cpu. When the
ring buffer was introduced, the users were convert to use the
the cpu number of which cpu ring buffer was in use (this was passed
to the tracers by the iterator: iter->cpu).
Unfortunately, the cpu item in the entry structure was never removed.
This allowed for developers to use it instead of the proper iter->cpu,
unknowingly, using an uninitialized variable. This was not the fault
of the developers, since it would seem like the logical place to
retrieve the cpu identifier.
This patch removes the cpu item from the entry structure and fixes
all the users that should have been using iter->cpu.

During early boot, ACPI RSDT/XSDT table entries are gathered into the
'initial_tables[]' array. This array is currently statically defined (see
./drivers/acpi/tables.c). When there are more table entries than can be
held in the 'initial_tables[]' array, the message "Truncating N table
entries!" is output. As currently implemented, this message will always
erroneously calculate N as 0.
This patch fixes the calculation that determines how many table entries
will be missing (truncated).

Bit 11 in intel PDC definitions is meant for OS capability to handle
hardware coordination of P-states. In Linux we have always supported
hwardware coordination of P-states. Just let the BIOSes know that we
support it, by setting this bit.
Some BIOSes use this bit to choose between hardware or software coordination
and without this change below, BIOSes switch to software coordination, which
is not very optimal in terms of power consumption and extra wakeups from idle.

Some devices trigger a DEVICE_CHECK on every evalutation of _STA. This
can also be seen in commit 8b59560a3baf2e7c24e0fb92ea5d09eca92805db
(ACPI: dock: avoid check _STA method). If an undock is processed, the
dock driver sends a uevent and userspace might read the show_docked
property in sysfs. This causes an evaluation of _STA of the particular
device which causes the dock driver to immediately dock again.
In any case, evaluation of _STA (show_docked) does not necessarily mean
that we are docked, so check with the internal device structure.

The addition of filename encryption caused a regression in unencrypted
filename symlink support. ecryptfs_copy_filename() is used when dealing
with unencrypted filenames and it reported that the new, copied filename
was a character longer than it should have been.
This caused the return value of readlink() to count the NULL byte of the
symlink target. Most applications don't care about the extra NULL byte,
but a version control system (bzr) helped in discovering the bug.

x86-64: fix int $0x80 -ENOSYS return
|
|
One of my past fixes to this code introduced a different new bug.
When using 32-bit "int $0x80" entry for a bogus syscall number,
the return value is not correctly set to -ENOSYS. This only happens
when neither syscall-audit nor syscall tracing is enabled (i.e., never
seen if auditd ever started). Test program:
/* gcc -o int80-badsys -m32 -g int80-badsys.c
Run on x86-64 kernel.
Note to reproduce the bug you need auditd never to have started. */
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int
main (void)
{
long res;
asm ("int $0x80" : "=a" (res) : "0" (99999));
printf ("bad syscall returns %ld\n", res);
return res != -ENOSYS;
}
The fix makes the int $0x80 path match the sysenter and syscall paths.

elf core dump: fix get_user use

|
The elf_core_dump() code does its work with set_fs(KERNEL_DS) in force,
so vma_dump_size() needs to switch back with set_fs(USER_DS) to safely
use get_user() for a normal user-space address.
Checking for VM_READ optimizes out the case where get_user() would fail
anyway. The vm_file check here was already superfluous given the control
flow earlier in the function, so that is a cleanup/optimization unrelated
to other changes but an obvious and trivial one.

The patch:
commit a6f76f23d297f70e2a6b3ec607f7aeeea9e37e8d
CRED: Make execve() take advantage of copy-on-write credentials
moved the place in which the 'safeness' of a SUID/SGID exec was performed to
before de_thread() was called. This means that LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE is now
calculated incorrectly. This flag is set if any of the usage counts for
fs_struct, files_struct and sighand_struct are greater than 1 at the time the
determination is made. All of which are true for threads created by the
pthread library.
However, since we wish to make the security calculation before irrevocably
damaging the process so that we can return it an error code in the case where
we decide we want to reject the exec request on this basis, we have to make the
determination before calling de_thread().
So, instead, we count up the number of threads (CLONE_THREAD) that are sharing
our fs_struct (CLONE_FS), files_struct (CLONE_FILES) and sighand_structs
(CLONE_SIGHAND/CLONE_THREAD) with us. These will be killed by de_thread() and
so can be discounted by check_unsafe_exec().
We do have to be careful because CLONE_THREAD does not imply FS or FILES.
We _assume_ that there will be no extra references to these structs held by the
threads we're going to kill.
This can be tested with the attached pair of programs. Build the two programs
using the Makefile supplied, and run ./test1 as a non-root user. If
successful, you should see something like:

This error was introduced by commit 5b41e74a "vfs: fix data leak in
nobh_write_end()". That patch did not take into account that if
PageMappedToDisk() is true upon entry to nobh_write_begin(), then no
buffers will be allocated for the page. In that case, we won't have to
worry about a failed write leaving unitialized data in the page.
Of course, head != NULL implies !page_has_buffers(page), so no need to
test both.

When ACPI is disabled in the BIOS of this VIA C3 box,
it invalidates the RSDP, which Linux notices:
ACPI Error (tbxfroot-0218): A valid RSDP was not found [20080926]
Bug Linux neglected to disable ACPI at that stage,
and later scribbled on smp_found_config:
ACPI: No APIC-table, disabling MPS
But this box doesn't run well in legacy PIC mode,
it needed IOAPIC mode to perform correctly:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/5/39
So exit ACPI mode cleanly when we first detect
that it is hopeless.

CPU_IDLE=y has been default for ACPI=y since Nov-2007,
and has shipped in many distributions since then.
Here we delete the CPU_IDLE=n ACPI idle code, since
nobody should be using it, and we don't want to
maintain two versions.

I created commit 7971db5a4b4176ad5df590fce07a962c643a2740 on a machine
where I forgot to set user.name and user.email before. The default
values were not optimal.
