2007-12-07[AVR32] Add TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK to the work masksHaavard Skinnemoen1-4/+11
We really need to check TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK before returning to userspace. The existing code does not necessarily do this. Define the work masks as a bitwise OR of the respective flags instead of a hardcoded hex value to make it easier to spot errors like this in the future.

2007-12-07[SPARC64]: Fix memory controller register access when non-SMP.David S. Miller1-6/+10
get_cpu() always returns zero on non-SMP builds, but we really want the physical cpu number in this code in order to do the right thing. Based upon a non-SMP kernel boot failure report from Bernd Zeimetz. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-12-07[SCTP]: Fix the bind_addr info during migration.Vlad Yasevich3-10/+31
During accept/migrate the code attempts to copy the addresses from the parent endpoint to the new endpoint. However, if the parent was bound to a wildcard address, then we end up pointlessly copying all of the current addresses on the system.

2007-12-07[SCTP]: Add bind hash locking to the migrate codeVlad Yasevich1-0/+6
SCTP accept code tries to add a newliy created socket to a bind bucket without holding a lock. On a really busy system, that can causes slab corruptions. Add a lock around this code. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-12-07[POWERPC] virtex bug fix: Use canonical value for AC97 interrupt xparamsGrant Likely2-4/+12
The ml300 and ml403 xparameters.h files use different macros for the AC97 interrupt pin assignments. This normalizes them to a canonical value similar to what EDK generates for most other devices.

radeonfb was HPMC-ing my C8000 by trying to map its expansion rom from IO_VIEW, instead of PA_VIEW. Fix seems to be to ensure that its disabled ROM is properly inserted into the resource tree. FIXME: this will result in a whinging printk for cards which share expansion ROMS, such as a quad tulip. Thankfully, it isn't harmful. Signed-off-by: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca>
2007-12-06Fix oprofile configuration breakageRalf Baechle2-1/+5
The cleanup 09cadedbdc01f1a4bea1f427d4fb4642eaa19da9 broke the oprofile configuration for MIPS by allowing oprofile support to be built for kernel models where oprofile doesn't have a chance in hell to work. Just a dependecy list on a number of architectures is - surprise - broken and should as per past discussions probably in most considered to be broken in most cases. So I introduce a dependency for the oprofile configuration on ARCH_SUPPORTS_OPROFILE. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-12-06[PARISC] timer interrupt should not be IRQ_DISABLEDKyle McMartin1-1/+1
The timer interrupt had accidentally been marked IRQ_DISABLED since IRQ_PER_CPU had been OR-ed in, instead of set. This had been working by accident for quite a while.

2007-12-06[POWERPC] Fix hardware IRQ time accounting problem.Tony Breeds2-7/+3
The commit fa13a5a1f25f671d084d8884be96fc48d9b68275 (sched: restore deterministic CPU accounting on powerpc), unconditionally calls update_process_tick() in system context. In the deterministic accounting case this is the correct thing to do. However, in the non-deterministic accounting case we need to not do this, since doing this results in the time accounted as hardware irq time being artificially elevated. Also this collapses 2 consecutive '#ifdef CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING' checks in time.h into one for neatness.

endianness annotations in networking code had been in place for quite a while; in particular, sin_port and s_addr are annotated as big-endian.

BFS_FILEBLOCKS() expects struct bfs_inode * (on-disk data, with little- endian fields), not struct bfs_inode_info * (in-core stuff, with host- endian ones). It's a macro and fields with the right names are present in bfs_inode_info, so it compiles, but on big-endian host it gives bogus results.

2007-12-05proc: fix proc_dir_entry refcountingAlexey Dobriyan5-21/+5
Creating PDEs with refcount 0 and "deleted" flag has problems (see below). Switch to usual scheme: * PDE is created with refcount 1 * every de_get does +1 * every de_put() and remove_proc_entry() do -1 * once refcount reaches 0, PDE is freed. This elegantly fixes at least two following races (both observed) without introducing new locks, without abusing old locks, without spreading lock_kernel(): 1) PDE leak remove_proc_entry de_put ----------------- ------ [refcnt = 1] if (atomic_read(&de->count) == 0) if (atomic_dec_and_test(&de->count)) if (de->deleted) /* also not taken! */ free_proc_entry(de); else de->deleted = 1; [refcount=0, deleted=1] 2) use after free remove_proc_entry de_put ----------------- ------ [refcnt = 1] if (atomic_dec_and_test(&de->count)) if (atomic_read(&de->count) == 0) free_proc_entry(de); /* boom! */ if (de->deleted) free_proc_entry(de); BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 6b6b6b6b printing eip: c10acdda *pdpt = 00000000338f8001 *pde = 0000000000000000 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: af_packet ipv6 cpufreq_ondemand loop serio_raw psmouse k8temp hwmon sr_mod cdrom Pid: 23161, comm: cat Not tainted (2.6.24-rc2-8c0863403f109a43d7000b4646da4818220d501f #4) EIP: 0060:[<c10acdda>] EFLAGS: 00210097 CPU: 1 EIP is at strnlen+0x6/0x18 EAX: 6b6b6b6b EBX: 6b6b6b6b ECX: 6b6b6b6b EDX: fffffffe ESI: c128fa3b EDI: f380bf34 EBP: ffffffff ESP: f380be44 DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 0033 SS: 0068 Process cat (pid: 23161, ti=f380b000 task=f38f2570 task.ti=f380b000) Stack: c10ac4f0 00000278 c12ce000 f43cd2a8 00000163 00000000 7da86067 00000400 c128fa20 00896b18 f38325a8 c128fe20 ffffffff 00000000 c11f291e 00000400 f75be300 c128fa20 f769c9a0 c10ac779 f380bf34 f7bfee70 c1018e6b f380bf34 Call Trace: [<c10ac4f0>] vsnprintf+0x2ad/0x49b [<c10ac779>] vscnprintf+0x14/0x1f [<c1018e6b>] vprintk+0xc5/0x2f9 [<c10379f1>] handle_fasteoi_irq+0x0/0xab [<c1004f44>] do_IRQ+0x9f/0xb7 [<c117db3b>] preempt_schedule_irq+0x3f/0x5b [<c100264e>] need_resched+0x1f/0x21 [<c10190ba>] printk+0x1b/0x1f [<c107c8ad>] de_put+0x3d/0x50 [<c107c8f8>] proc_delete_inode+0x38/0x41 [<c107c8c0>] proc_delete_inode+0x0/0x41 [<c1066298>] generic_delete_inode+0x5e/0xc6 [<c1065aa9>] iput+0x60/0x62 [<c1063c8e>] d_kill+0x2d/0x46 [<c1063fa9>] dput+0xdc/0xe4 [<c10571a1>] __fput+0xb0/0xcd [<c1054e49>] filp_close+0x48/0x4f [<c1055ee9>] sys_close+0x67/0xa5 [<c10026b6>] sysenter_past_esp+0x5f/0x85 ======================= Code: c9 74 0c f2 ae 74 05 bf 01 00 00 00 4f 89 fa 5f 89 d0 c3 85 c9 57 89 c7 89 d0 74 05 f2 ae 75 01 4f 89 f8 5f c3 89 c1 89 c8 eb 06 <80> 38 00 74 07 40 4a 83 fa ff 75 f4 29 c8 c3 90 90 90 57 83 c9 EIP: [<c10acdda>] strnlen+0x6/0x18 SS:ESP 0068:f380be44 Also, remove broken usage of ->deleted from reiserfs: if sget() succeeds, module is already pinned and remove_proc_entry() can't happen => nobody can mark PDE deleted.
