2008-07-27[ARM] Fix shared mmap when more than two maps of the same file existRussell King
The shared mmap code works fine for the test case, which only checked for two shared maps of the same file. However, three shared maps result in one mapping remaining cached, resulting in stale data being visible via that mapping. Fix this. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2008-07-27[ARM] fix VIPT/VIVT macro optimisations, add commentsRussell King
cacheflush.h was doing: ... VIVT only stuff ... VIPT only stuff ... VIVT or VIPT stuff which is clearly bogus - we would only ever use the "VIVT or VIPT" case when both VIVT and VIPT are not selected. Fix this. Add comments to each case, including noting the impossibility of correctly detecting the cache type of ARM926 and ARMv6 cores from the cache type register in the "VIVT or VIPT" case.

2008-07-27KVM: s390: Fix possible host kernel bug on lctl(g) handlingChristian Borntraeger
The lctl(g) instructions require a specific alignment for the parameters. The architecture requires a specification program check if these alignments are not used. Enforcing this alignment also removes a possible host BUG, since the get_guest functions check for proper alignment and emits a BUG.

2008-07-27KVM: s390: Fix program check on interrupt delivery handlingChristian Borntraeger
The current interrupt handling on s390 misbehaves on an error case. On s390 each cpu has the prefix area (lowcore) for interrupt delivery. This memory must always be available. If we fail to access the prefix area for a guest on interrupt delivery the configuration is completely unusable. There is no point in sending another program interrupt to an inaccessible lowcore. Furthermore, we should not bug the host kernel, because this can be triggered by userspace. I think the guest kernel itself can not trigger the problem, as SET PREFIX and SIGNAL PROCESSOR SET PREFIX both check that the memory is available and sane. As this is a userspace bug (e.g. setting the wrong guest offset, unmapping guest memory) we should kill the userspace process instead of BUGing the host kernel. In the long term we probably should notify the userspace process about this problem. Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

2008-07-27KVM: s390: Fix guest kconfigChristian Borntraeger
Cornelia Huck noticed that a modular virtio without kvm guest support leads to a build error in the s390 virtio transport: CONFIG_VIRTIO=m leads to ERROR: "vmem_add_mapping" [drivers/s390/kvm/kvm_virtio.ko] undefined! ERROR: "max_pfn" [drivers/s390/kvm/kvm_virtio.ko] undefined! ERROR: "vmem_remove_mapping" [drivers/s390/kvm/kvm_virtio.ko] undefined! The virtio transport only works with kvm guest support and only as a builtin. Lets change the build process of drivers/s390/kvm/kvm_virtio.c to depend on kvm guest support, which is also a bool. CONFIG_S390_GUEST already selects CONFIG_VIRTIO, that should prevent CONFIG_S390_GUEST=y CONFIG_VIRTIO=n situations.

2008-07-27KVM: Avoid instruction emulation when event delivery is pendingAvi Kivity
When an event (such as an interrupt) is injected, and the stack is shadowed (and therefore write protected), the guest will exit. The current code will see that the stack is shadowed and emulate a few instructions, each time postponing the injection. Eventually the injection may succeed, but at that time the guest may be unwilling to accept the interrupt (for example, the TPR may have changed). This occurs every once in a while during a Windows 2008 boot. Fix by unshadowing the fault address if the fault was due to an event injection. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

2008-07-27ALSA: Allow to force model to intel-mac-v3 in snd_hda_intel (sigmatel).Nicolas Boichat
Currently, even if you pass model=intel-mac-v3 as a module parameter to snd_hda_intel, the function patch_stac922x (patch_sigmatel.c) will still try to auto-detect the model type. This is a problem on my MacBook Pro 1st generation, which needs intel-mac-v3, but sometimes incorrectly reports 0x00000100 as subsystem id, which causes the switch in patch_stac922x to select intel-mac-v4. To fix this, I added a new model called intel-mac-auto, so in case no module parameter is passed, and an Intel Mac board is detected, the model will be automatically detected, while no detection will be done if the model is forced to intel-mac-v3. This problem has been around for quite a while, and I used to fix it by moving the case statement for 0x00000100 in patch_stac922x so that intel-mac-v3 is chosen. Another way to fix the problem would be to check if a module parameter was set directly in patch_stac922x, using something like this: if (spec->board_config == STAC_INTEL_MAC_V3 && !codec->bus->modelname) { But I think it is less elegant (if you prefer that way, I can prepare a patch).

2008-07-26[PATCH] dup3 fixUlrich Drepper
Al Viro notice one cornercase that the new dup3() code. The dup2() function, as a special case, handles dup-ing to the same file descriptor. In this case the current dup3() code does nothing at all. I.e., it ingnores the flags parameter. This shouldn't happen, the close-on-exec flag should be set if requested. In case the O_CLOEXEC bit in the flags parameter is not set the dup3() function should behave in this respect identical to dup2(). This means dup3(fd, fd, 0) should not actively reset the c-o-e flag. The patch below implements this minor change.
