24aac480e7 cciss: add new hardware support
Add support for the next generation of HP Smart Array SAS/SATA
controllers.  Shipping date is late Fall 2008.

Bump the driver version to 3.6.20 to reflect the new hardware support from
patch 1 of this set.

8cdbc2b982 capabilities: add (back) dummy support for KEEPCAPS
The dummy module is used by folk that run security conscious code(!?).  A
feature of such code (for example, dhclient) is that it tries to operate
with minimum privilege (dropping unneeded capabilities).  While the dummy
module doesn't restrict code execution based on capability state, the user
code expects the kernel to appear to support it.  This patch adds back
faked support for the PR_SET_KEEPCAPS etc., calls - making the kernel
behave as before 2.6.26.

For details see: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10748

2d518f84e5 fat: relax the permission check of fat_setattr()
New chmod() allows only acceptable permission, and if not acceptable, it
returns -EPERM.  Old one allows even if it can't store permission to on
disk inode.  But it seems too strict for users.

E.g.  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449080: With new one,
rsync couldn't create the temporary file.

So, this patch allows like old one, but now it doesn't change the
permission if it can't store, and it returns 0.

Also, this patch fixes missing check.

ec0a196626 tcp: Revert 'process defer accept as established' changes.
This reverts two changesets, ec3c0982a2
("[TCP]: TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT updates - process as established") and
the follow-on bug fix 9ae27e0adb
("tcp: Fix slab corruption with ipv6 and tcp6fuzz").

This change causes several problems, first reported by Ingo Molnar
as a distcc-over-loopback regression where connections were getting
stuck.

Ilpo Järvinen first spotted the locking problems.  The new function
added by this code, tcp_defer_accept_check(), only has the
child socket locked, yet it is modifying state of the parent
listening socket.

Fixing that is non-trivial at best, because we can't simply just grab
the parent listening socket lock at this point, because it would
create an ABBA deadlock.  The normal ordering is parent listening
socket --> child socket, but this code path would require the
reverse lock ordering.

Next is a problem noticed by Vitaliy Gusev, he noted:

----------------------------------------
>--- a/net/ipv4/tcp_timer.c
>+++ b/net/ipv4/tcp_timer.c
>@@ -481,6 +481,11 @@ static void tcp_keepalive_timer (unsigned long data)
> 		goto death;
> 	}
>
>+	if (tp->defer_tcp_accept.request && sk->sk_state == TCP_ESTABLISHED) {
>+		tcp_send_active_reset(sk, GFP_ATOMIC);
>+		goto death;

Here socket sk is not attached to listening socket's request queue. tcp_done()
will not call inet_csk_destroy_sock() (and tcp_v4_destroy_sock() which should
release this sk) as socket is not DEAD. Therefore socket sk will be lost for
freeing.
----------------------------------------

Finally, Alexey Kuznetsov argues that there might not even be any
real value or advantage to these new semantics even if we fix all
of the bugs:

----------------------------------------
Hiding from accept() sockets with only out-of-order data only
is the only thing which is impossible with old approach. Is this really
so valuable? My opinion: no, this is nothing but a new loophole
to consume memory without control.
----------------------------------------

So revert this thing for now.

f23d60de71 ipv6: Fix duplicate initialization of rawv6_prot.destroy
In changeset 22dd485022
("raw: Raw socket leak.") code was added so that we
flush pending frames on raw sockets to avoid leaks.

The ipv4 part was fine, but the ipv6 part was not
done correctly.  Unlike the ipv4 side, the ipv6 code
already has a .destroy method for rawv6_prot.

So now there were two assignments to this member, and
what the compiler does is use the last one, effectively
making the ipv6 parts of that changeset a NOP.

Fix this by removing the:

	.destroy	   = inet6_destroy_sock,

line, and adding an inet6_destroy_sock() call to the
end of raw6_destroy().

Noticed by Al Viro.

Yeah, this is extremely likely to be the source of the warning.

The warning should be harmless, however.

It would be interesting to see where the int3 comes from.  Too bad,
lockdep doesn't provide the register dump. The stacktrace also doesn't
go further than the int3(), I wonder if this int3 came from userspace?
The ltrace readme says "software breakpoints, like gdb", so I guess
this is the case. Yep, seems like it.

This looks relevant:

Joy - I so love entry.S

Best I can make of it:

syscall_exit_work
  resume_userspace
    DISABLE_INTERRUPTS
    (no TRACE_IRQS_OFF)
      work_pending
        work_notifysig
          do_notify_resume()
            do_signal()
              get_signal_to_deliver()
                try_to_freeze()
                  refrigerator()
                    task_lock() -> check_flags() -> BANG

The normal path is:

syscall_exit_work
  resume_userspace
    DISABLE_INTERRUPTS
    restore_all
      TRACE_IRQS_IRET
      iret

No idea why that would not warn..

v2.6.26 so we'll go for the less intrusive (repeated) revert now.

Fix head_32.S gcc bignum warnings when CONFIG_PAE=y.

    arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S: Assembler messages:
    arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S:225: Warning: left operand is a bignum; integer 0 assumed
    arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S:609: Warning: left operand is a bignum; integer 0 assumed

The assembler was stumbling over the 64-bit constant 0x100000000 in the
KPMDS #define.

Testing: a cmp(1) on head_32.o before and after shows the binary is unchanged.

b29c701dea x86: fix endless page faults in mount_block_root for Linux 2.6
Page faults in kernel address space between PAGE_OFFSET up to
VMALLOC_START should not try to map as vmalloc.

Fix rarely endless page faults inside mount_block_root for root
filesystem at boot time.

All 32bit kernels up to 2.6.25 can fail into this hole.
I can not present this under native linux kernel. I see, that the 64bit
has fixed the problem. I copied the same lines into 32bit part.

Recorded debugs are from coLinux kernel 2.6.22.18 (virtualisation):
http://www.henrynestler.com/colinux/testing/pfn-check-0.7.3/20080410-antinx/bug16-recursive-page-fault-endless.txt
The physicaly memory was trimmed down to 192MB to better catch the bug.
More memory gets the bug more rarely.

Details, how every x86 32bit system can fail:

Start from "mount_block_root",
http://lxr.linux.no/linux/init/do_mounts.c#L297
There the variable "fs_names" got one memory page with 4096 bytes.
Variable "p" walks through the existing file system types. The first
string is no problem.
But, with the second loop in mount_block_root the offset of "p" is not
at beginning of page, the offset is for example +9, if "reiserfs" is the
first in list.
Than calls do_mount_root, and lands in sys_mount.
Remember: Variable "type_page" contains now "fs_type+9" and not contains
a full page.
The sys_mount copies 4096 bytes with function "exact_copy_from_user()":
http://lxr.linux.no/linux/fs/namespace.c#L1540

Mostly exist pages after the buffer "fs_names+4096+9" and the page fault
handler was not called. No problem.

In the case, if the page after "fs_names+4096" is not mapped, the page
fault handler was called from http://lxr.linux.no/linux/fs/namespace.c#L1320

The do_page_fault gots an address 0xc03b4000.
It's kernel address, address >= TASK_SIZE, but not from vmalloc! It's
from "__getname()" alias "kmem_cache_alloc".
The "error_code" is 0. "vmalloc_fault" will be call:
http://lxr.linux.no/linux/arch/i386/mm/fault.c#L332

"vmalloc_fault" tryed to find the physical page for a non existing
virtual memory area. The macro "pte_present" in vmalloc_fault()
got a next page fault for 0xc0000ed0 at:
http://lxr.linux.no/linux/arch/i386/mm/fault.c#L282

No PTE exist for such virtual address. The page fault handler was trying
to sync the physical page for the PTE lockup.

This called vmalloc_fault() again for address 0xc000000, and that also
was not existing. The endless began...

In normal case the cpu would still loop with disabled interrrupts. Under
coLinux this was catched by a stack overflow inside printk debugs.

5a1603be58 nommu: Correct kobjsize() page validity checks.
This implements a few changes on top of the recent kobjsize() refactoring
introduced by commit 6cfd53fc03.

As Christoph points out:

	virt_to_head_page cannot return NULL. virt_to_page also
	does not return NULL. pfn_valid() needs to be used to
	figure out if a page is valid.  Otherwise the page struct
	reference that was returned may have PageReserved() set
	to indicate that it is not a valid page.

As discussed further in the thread, virt_addr_valid() is the preferable
way to validate the object pointer in this case. In addition to fixing
up the reserved page case, it also has the benefit of encapsulating the
hack introduced by commit 4016a1390d on
the impacted platforms, allowing us to get rid of the extra checking in
kobjsize() for the platforms that don't perform this type of bizarre
memory_end abuse (every nommu platform that isn't blackfin). If blackfin
decides to get in line with every other platform and use PageReserved
for the DMA pages in question, kobjsize() will also continue to work
fine.

It also turns out that compound_order() will give us back 0-order for
non-head pages, so we can get rid of the PageCompound check and just
use compound_order() directly. Clean that up while we're at it.

4d7365d664 kbuild: ignore powerpc specific symbols in modpost
Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> wrote:
We have a case in powerpc in which we want to link some library
routines with all module objects.  The routines are intended for
handling out-of-line function call register save/restore so having
them as EXPORT_SYMBOL() is counter productive (we do also need to
link the same "library" code into the kernel).

Without this patch a powerpc build would error out and fail
to build modules with the added register save/restore module.

There were two obvious solutions:
1) To link the .o file before the modpost stage
2) To ignore the symbols in modpost

Option 1) was ruled out because we do not have any separate
linking stage for single file modules.

This patch implements option 2 - and do so only for powerpc.

The symbols we ignore are all undefined symbols named:
_restgpr_*, _savegpr_*, _rest32gpr_*, _save32gpr_*

7a232e0350 sched: 64-bit: fix arithmetics overflow
(overflow means weight >= 2^32 here, because inv_weigh = 2^32/weight)

A weight of a cfs_rq is the sum of weights of which entities
are queued on this cfs_rq, so it will overflow when there are
too many entities.

Although, overflow occurs very rarely, but it break fairness when
it occurs. 64-bits systems have more memory than 32-bit systems
and 64-bit systems can create more process usually, so overflow may
occur more frequently.

This patch guarantees fairness when overflow happens on 64-bit systems.
Thanks to the optimization of compiler, it changes nothing on 32-bit.

2e084786f6 sched: fair group: fix overflow(was: fix divide by zero)
I found a bug which can be reproduced by this way:(linux-2.6.26-rc5, x86-64)
(use 2^32, 2^33, ...., 2^63 as shares value)

# mkdir /dev/cpuctl
# mount -t cgroup -o cpu cpuctl /dev/cpuctl
# cd /dev/cpuctl
# mkdir sub
# echo 0x8000000000000000 > sub/cpu.shares
# echo $$ > sub/tasks
oops here! divide by zero.

This is because do_div() expects the 2th parameter to be 32 bits,
but unsigned long is 64 bits in x86_64.

Peter Zijstra pointed it out that the sane thing to do is limit the
shares value to something smaller instead of using an even more
expensive divide.

Also, I found another bug about "the shares value is too large":

pid1 and pid2 are set affinity to cpu#0
pid1 is attached to cg1 and pid2 is attached to cg2

if cg1/cpu.shares = 1024 cg2/cpu.shares = 2000000000
then pid2 got 100% usage of cpu, and pid1 0%

if cg1/cpu.shares = 1024 cg2/cpu.shares = 20000000000
then pid2 got 0% usage of cpu, and pid1 100%

And a weight of a cfs_rq is the sum of weights of which entities
are queued on this cfs_rq, so the shares value should be limited
to a smaller value.

I think that (1UL << 18) is a good limited value:

1) it's not too large, we can create a lot of group before overflow
2) it's several times the weight value for nice=-19 (not too small)

4bb073c0e3 net: Eliminate flush_scheduled_work() calls while RTNL is held.
If the RTNL is held when we invoke flush_scheduled_work() we could
deadlock.  One such case is linkwatch, it is a work struct which tries
to grab the RTNL semaphore.

The most common case are net driver ->stop() methods.  The
simplest conversion is to instead use cancel_{delayed_}work_sync()
explicitly on the various work struct the driver uses.

This is an OK transformation because these work structs are doing
things like resetting the chip, restarting link negotiation, and so
forth.  And if we're bringing down the device, we're about to turn the
chip off and reset it anways.  So if we cancel a pending work event,
that's fine here.

Some drivers were working around this deadlock by using a msleep()
polling loop of some sort, and those cases are converted to instead
use cancel_{delayed_}work_sync() as well.

f595ec964d common implementation of iterative div/mod
We have a few instances of the open-coded iterative div/mod loop, used
when we don't expcet the dividend to be much bigger than the divisor.
Unfortunately modern gcc's have the tendency to strength "reduce" this
into a full mod operation, which isn't necessarily any faster, and
even if it were, doesn't exist if gcc implements it in libgcc.

The workaround is to put a dummy asm statement in the loop to prevent
gcc from performing the transformation.

This patch creates a single implementation of this loop, and uses it
to replace the open-coded versions I know about.
