2006-07-31[PATCH] IA64: kprobe invalidate icache of jump bufferbibo, mao
Kprobe inserts breakpoint instruction in probepoint and then jumps to instruction slot when breakpoint is hit, the instruction slot icache must be consistent with dcache. Here is the patch which invalidates instruction slot icache area. Without this patch, in some machines there will be fault when executing instruction slot where icache content is inconsistent with dcache.

2006-07-31[PATCH] kprobe-booster: disable in preemptible kernelMasami Hiramatsu
The kprobe-booster's safety check against preemption does not work well now, because the preemption count has been modified by read_rcu_lock() in atomic_notifier_call_chain() before we check it. So, I'd like to prevent boosting kprobe temporarily if the kernel is preemptable. Now we are searching for the good solution.

A recent commit (7fc90ec93a5eb71f4b08403baf5ba7176b3ec6b1) moved the call to nfsd_setuser out of the 'find a dentry for a filehandle' branch of fh_verify so that it would always be called. This had the unfortunately side-effect of moving *after* the call to decode_fh, so the prober fsuid was not set when nfsd_acceptable was called, the 'permission' check did the wrong thing.

2006-07-31[PATCH] delay accounting: temporarily enable by defaultShailabh Nagar
Enable delay accounting by default so that feature gets coverage testing without requiring special measures. Earlier, it was off by default and had to be enabled via a boot time param. This patch reverses the default behaviour to improve coverage testing. It can be removed late in the kernel development cycle if its believed users shouldn't have to incur any cost if they don't want delay accounting. Or it can be retained forever if the utility of the stats is deemed common enough to warrant keeping the feature on.

2006-07-31[PATCH] genirq: {en,dis}able_irq_wake() need refcounting tooDavid Brownell
IRQs need refcounting and a state flag to track whether the the IRQ should be enabled or disabled as a "normal IRQ" source after a series of calls to {en,dis}able_irq(). For shared IRQs, the IRQ must be enabled so long as at least one driver needs it active. Likewise, IRQs need the same support to track whether the IRQ should be enabled or disabled as a "wakeup event" source after a series of calls to {en,dis}able_irq_wake(). For shared IRQs, the IRQ must be enabled as a wakeup source during sleep so long as at least one driver needs it. But right now they _don't have_ that refcounting ... which means sharing a wakeup-capable IRQ can't work correctly in some configurations. This patch adds the refcount and flag mechanisms to set_irq_wake() -- which is what {en,dis}able_irq_wake() call -- and minimal documentation of what the irq wake mechanism does. Drivers relying on the older (broken) "toggle" semantics will trigger a warning; that'll be a handful of drivers on ARM systems.

2006-07-31[PATCH] Process Events: Fix biarch compatibility issue. use __u64 timestampChandra Seetharaman
Events sent by Process Events Connector from a 64-bit kernel are not binary compatible with a 32-bit userspace program because the "timestamp" field (struct timespec) is not arch independent. This affects the fields that follow "timestamp" as they will be be off by 8 bytes. This is a problem for 32-bit userspace programs running with 64-bit kernels on ppc64, s390, x86-64.. any "biarch" system. Matt had submitted a different solution to lkml as an RFC earlier. We have since switched to a solution recommended by Evgeniy Polyakov. This patch fixes the problem by changing the timestamp to be a __u64, which stores the number of nanoseconds. Tested on a x86_64 system with both 32 bit application and 64 bit application and on a i386 system.

2006-07-31[PATCH] ext3: avoid triggering ext3_error on bad NFS file handleNeil Brown
The inode number out of an NFS file handle gets passed eventually to ext3_get_inode_block() without any checking. If ext3_get_inode_block() allows it to trigger an error, then bad filehandles can have unpleasant effect - ext3_error() will usually cause a forced read-only remount, or a panic if `errors=panic' was used. So remove the call to ext3_error there and put a matching check in ext3/namei.c where inode numbers are read off storage.

2006-07-29[PATCH] x86_64: Calgary IOMMU - Multi-Node NULL pointer dereference fixJon Mason
Calgary hits a NULL pointer dereference when booting in a multi-chassis NUMA system. See Redhat bugzilla number 198498, found by Konrad Rzeszutek (konradr@redhat.com). There are many issues that had to be resolved to fix this problem. Firstly when I originally wrote the code to handle NUMA systems, I had a large misunderstanding that was not corrected until now. That was that I thought the "number of nodes online" referred to number of physical systems connected. So that if NUMA was disabled, there would only be 1 node and it would only show that node's PCI bus. In reality if NUMA is disabled, the system displays all of the connected chassis as one node but is only ignorant of the delays in accessing main memory. Therefore, references to num_online_nodes() and MAX_NUMNODES are incorrect and need to be set to the maximum number of nodes that can be accessed (which are 8). I created a variable, MAX_NUM_CHASSIS, and set it to 8 to fix this. Secondly, when walking the PCI in detect_calgary, the code only checked the first "slot" when looking to see if a device is present. This will work for most cases, but unfortunately it isn't always the case. In the NUMA MXE drawers, there are USB devices present on the 3rd slot (with slot 1 being empty). So, to work around this, all slots (up to 8) are scanned to see if there are any devices present. Lastly, the bus is being enumerated on large systems in a different way the we originally thought. This throws the ugly logic we had out the window. To more elegantly handle this, I reorganized the kva array to be sparse (which removed the need to have any bus number to kva slot logic in tce.c) and created a secondary space array to contain the bus number to phb mapping. With these changes Calgary boots on an x460 with 4 nodes with and without NUMA enabled.

But the fact that the 80219 and IOP32x are very similar doesn't mean that they need to share a cpu table entry.

2006-07-28[PATCH] pi-futex: robust-futex exitIngo Molnar
Fix robust PI-futexes to be properly unlocked on unexpected exit. For this to work the kernel has to know whether a futex is a PI or a non-PI one, because the semantics are different. Since the space in relevant glibc data structures is extremely scarce, the best solution is to encode the 'PI' information in bit 0 of the robust list pointer. Existing (non-PI) glibc robust futexes have this bit always zero, so the ABI is kept. New glibc with PI-robust-futexes will set this bit.

2006-07-28[PATCH] x86_64: Dump leftover backtrace entries when dwarf2 unwinder got stuckAndi Kleen
The dwarf2 unwinder currently often gets stuck because a lot of assembly code doesn't have proper dwarf2 annotiation yet. This currently often happens with __down. Should fix this by adding proper dwarf2 annotation to all inline assembly. However until that's done we need a quick fix for 2.6.18 to avoid incomplete backtraces. So when this happens dump the rest of the stack with the old unwinder instead of silently not dumping it. There was already a optional "both" mode that dumped both, but that was too ugly. I also clarified the headers for the different backtraces a bit. Also add a clear error message for missing dwarf2 annotation that people can work on. And I removed a dead variable left over from Ingo's changes. Cc: mingo@elte.hu Cc: jbeulich@novell.com Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-07-28[PATCH] x86_64: Enlarge debug stack for nested kprobesbibo mao
In x86_64 platform, INT1 and INT3 trap stack is IST stack called DEBUG_STACK, when INT1/INT3 trap happens, system will switch to DEBUG_STACK by hardware. Current DEBUG_STACK size is 4K, when int1/int3 trap happens, kernel will minus current DEBUG_STACK IST value by 4k. But if int3/int1 trap is nested, it will destroy other vector's IST stack. This patch modifies this, it sets DEBUG_STACK size as 8K and allows two level of nested int1/int3 trap. Kprobe DEBUG_STACK may be nested, because kprobe handler may be probed by other kprobes. Thanks jbeulich for pointing out error in the first patch. [AK: nested kprobes are pretty dubious. Hopefully one nest will be enough.

Fixes a obscure user space triggerable crash during oprofiling. Oprofile calls profile_pc from NMIs even when user_mode(regs) is not true and the program counter is inside the kernel lock section. This opens a race - when a user program jumps to a kernel lock address and a NMI happens before the illegal page fault exception is raised and the program has a unmapped esp or ebp then the kernel could oops. NMIs have a higher priority than exceptions so that could happen. Add user_mode checks to i386/x86-64 profile_pc to prevent that.
