2008-09-02drivers/char/random.c: fix a race which can lead to a bogus BUG()Andrew Morton
Fix a bug reported by and diagnosed by Aaron Straus. This is a regression intruduced into 2.6.26 by commit adc782dae6c4c0f6fb679a48a544cfbcd79ae3dc Author: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Date: Tue Apr 29 01:03:07 2008 -0700 random: simplify and rename credit_entropy_store credit_entropy_bits() does: spin_lock_irqsave(&r->lock, flags); ... if (r->entropy_count > r->poolinfo->POOLBITS) r->entropy_count = r->poolinfo->POOLBITS; so there is a time window in which this BUG_ON(): static size_t account(struct entropy_store *r, size_t nbytes, int min, int reserved) { unsigned long flags; BUG_ON(r->entropy_count > r->poolinfo->POOLBITS); /* Hold lock while accounting */ spin_lock_irqsave(&r->lock, flags); can trigger. We could fix this by moving the assertion inside the lock, but it seems safer and saner to revert to the old behaviour wherein entropy_store.entropy_count at no time exceeds entropy_store.poolinfo->POOLBITS.

2008-08-27tty: Fix termios tty window resize race with pty/tty pairAlan Cox
Kanru Chen posted a patch versus the old code which deals with the case where you resize the pty side of a pty/tty pair. In that situation the termios data is updated for both pty and tty but the locks are not held for the right side. This implements the fix differently against the updated tty code. Patch by self but the hard bit (noticing and fixing the bug) is thanks to Kanru Chen. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Suresh wrote: These padlock instructions though don't use/touch SSE registers, but it behaves similar to other SSE instructions. For example, it might cause DNA faults when cr0.ts is set. While this is a spurious DNA trap, it might cause oops with the recent fpu code changes. This is the code sequence that is probably causing this problem: a) new app is getting exec'd and it is somewhere in between start_thread() and flush_old_exec() in the load_xyz_binary() b) At pont "a", task's fpu state (like TS_USEDFPU, used_math() etc) is cleared. c) Now we get an interrupt/softirq which starts using these encrypt/decrypt routines in the network stack. This generates a math fault (as cr0.ts is '1') which sets TS_USEDFPU and restores the math that is in the task's xstate. d) Return to exec code path, which does start_thread() which does free_thread_xstate() and sets xstate pointer to NULL while the TS_USEDFPU is still set. e) At the next context switch from the new exec'd task to another task, we have a scenarios where TS_USEDFPU is set but xstate pointer is null. This can cause an oops during unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to() Now: 1) This should happen with or with out pre-emption. Viro also encountered similar problem with out CONFIG_PREEMPT. 2) kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end() will fix this problem, because kernel_fpu_begin() will manually do a clts() and won't run in to the situation of setting TS_USEDFPU in step "c" above. 3) This was working before the fpu changes, because its a spurious math fault which doesn't corrupt any fpu/sse registers and the task's math state was always in an allocated state. With out the recent lazy fpu allocation changes, while we don't see oops, there is a possible race still present in older kernels(for example, while kernel is using kernel_fpu_begin() in some optimized clear/copy page and an interrupt/softirq happens which uses these padlock instructions generating DNA fault). This is the failing scenario that existed even before the lazy fpu allocation changes: 0. CPU's TS flag is set 1. kernel using FPU in some optimized copy routine and while doing kernel_fpu_begin() takes an interrupt just before doing clts() 2. Takes an interrupt and ipsec uses padlock instruction. And we take a DNA fault as TS flag is still set. 3. We handle the DNA fault and set TS_USEDFPU and clear cr0.ts 4. We complete the padlock routine 5. Go back to step-1, which resumes clts() in kernel_fpu_begin(), finishes the optimized copy routine and does kernel_fpu_end(). At this point, we have cr0.ts again set to '1' but the task's TS_USEFPU is stilll set and not cleared. 6. Now kernel resumes its user operation. And at the next context switch, kernel sees it has do a FP save as TS_USEDFPU is still set and then will do a unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to(). unlazy_fpu() will take a DNA fault, as cr0.ts is '1' and now, because we are in __switch_to(), math_state_restore() will get confused and will restore the next task's FP state and will save it in prev tasks's FP state. Remember, in __switch_to() we are already on the stack of the next task but take a DNA fault for the prev task. This causes the fpu leakage. Fix the padlock instruction usage by calling them inside the context of new routines irq_ts_save/restore(), which clear/restore cr0.ts manually in the interrupt context. This will not generate spurious DNA in the context of the interrupt which will fix the oops encountered and the possible FPU leakage issue.

2008-08-12fix spinlock recursion in hvc_consoleChristian Borntraeger
commit 611e097d7707741a336a0677d9d69bec40f29f3d Author: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> hvc_console: rework setup to replace irq functions with callbacks introduced a spinlock recursion problem. request_irq tries to call the handler if the IRQ is shared. The irq handler of hvc_console calls hvc_poll and hvc_kill which might take the hvc_struct spinlock. Therefore, we have to call request_irq outside the spinlock. We can move the notifier_add safely outside the spinlock as ->data must not be changed by the backend. Otherwise, tty_hangup would fail anyway.

2008-08-12intel/agp: rewrite GTT on resumeKeith Packard
On my Intel chipset (965GM), the GTT is entirely erased across suspend/resume. This patch simply re-plays the current mapping at resume time to restore the table.=20 I noticed this once I started relying on persistent GTT mappings across VT switch in our GEM work -- the old X server and DRM code carefully unbind all memory from the GTT on VT switch, but GEM does not bother. I placed the list management and rewrite code in the generic layer on the assumption that it will be needed on other hardware, but I did not add the rewrite call to anything other than the Intel resume function. Keep a list of current GATT mappings. At resume time, rewrite them into the GATT. This is needed on Intel (at least) as the entire GATT is cleared across suspend/resume.

2008-08-12amd64-agp: run fallback when no bridges found, not when driver registration ↵Bjorn Helgaas
fails I think the intent was that if no bridges matched agp_amd64_pci_table[], we would fall back to checking for any bridge with the AGP capability. But in the current code, we execute the fallback path only when pci_register_driver() itself fails, which is unrelated to whether any matching devices were found. This patch counts the AGP bridges found in the probe() method and executes the fallback path when none is found.

2008-08-06Remove bogons from the iSeries consoleAlan Cox
The iSeries driver calls into the n_tty ldisc code directly for some bizarre reason. I previously tagged this with a query but this actually does need fixing as n_tty methods when you have a different ldisc set are not a good thing to call. In n_tty mode this change should have no effect, the core tty layer has always called the ldisc ioctl method *anyway* and will call the one for the right ldisc.

2008-08-04vt: Deadlock workaroundAlan Cox
2.6.26 corrected the mutex locking on tty resizing to fix the case where you could get the tty/vt sizing out of sync. That turns out to have a deadlock. The actual fix is really major and I've got it lined up as part of the ops changes for 2.6.28 so for 2.6.26/2.6.27 it is safer to reintroduce this ages old minor bug.

from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly.

2008-08-01try harder to load tty ldisc driverEugeniy Meshcheryakov
Currently function tty_ldisc_get() tries to load an ldisc driver module only when tty_ldisc_try_get() returns -EAGAIN. This happens only if module is being unloaded. If ldisc module is not loaded tty_ldisc_try_get() returns -EINVAL and this case is not handled in tty_ldisc_get(), so request_module() is not called. Attached patch fixes this by calling request_module() if tty_ldisc_try_get() returned any error code. I discovered this when my UMTS modem stopped working with 2.6.27-rc1 because module ppp_async was not loaded.

2008-07-28ipwireless: Increase PPP outgoing queue sizeDavid Sterba
ipwireless: Increase PPP outgoing queue size Increase default size of PPP outgoing queue. Currently set to 1, which means that a packet quickly following another pushed by PPP must wait until hardware actually sends the previous and PPP has to be waken up by ppp_wakeup(). This slows down upstream. Now PPP can push more packets at once which get buffered inside driver and pushed immediatelly to hardware when previous packet is out. Experiments show that size = 10 is quite good for all connection types (GPRS/EDGE/UMTS) and gains 4 KB/sec of upload for UMTS for batch uploads. Need for higher queue size than 10 occures in only < 0.1 % of cases.
