  • xen_sched_clock only counts unstolen time. In principle this should
    be useful to the Linux scheduler so that it knows how much time a process
    actually consumed. But in practice this doesn't work very well as the
    scheduler expects the sched_clock time to be synchronized between
    cpus. It also uses sched_clock to measure the time a task spends
    sleeping, in which case "unstolen time" isn't meaningful.

    So just use plain xen_clocksource_read to return wallclock nanoseconds
    for sched_clock.

  • Currently register_xenstore_notifier notifies the caller during the
    registration itself if xenstore is believed to be ready. This behaviour
    causes problems to PV on HVM guests, in which case callers should be
    notified by xenbus_probe only after the platform pci driver is loaded.
    We already make sure xenbus_probe is called at the right time, calling
    it either from device_initcall (PV case) or from the platform pci
    driver initialization (HVM case) so we don't need this additional
    notification.

  • Debian's ia64 autobuilders have been seeing kernel freeze or reboot
    when running the gdb testsuite (Debian bug 588574): dannf bisected to
    2.6.32 62eede62dafb4a6633eae7ffbeb34c60dba5e7b1 "mm: ZERO_PAGE without
    PTE_SPECIAL"; and reproduced it with gdb's gcore on a simple target.

    I'd missed updating the gate_vma handling in __get_user_pages(): that
    happens to use vm_normal_page() (nowadays failing on the zero page),
    yet reported success even when it failed to get a page - boom when
    access_process_vm() tried to copy that to its intermediate buffer.

    Fix this, resisting cleanups: in particular, leave it for now reporting
    success when not asked to get any pages - very probably safe to change,
    but let's not risk it without testing exposure.

    Why did ia64 crash with 16kB pages, but succeed with 64kB pages?
    Because setup_gate() pads each 64kB of its gate area with zero pages.

  • I was testing two CyberPro 2000 based PCI cards on x86 and the machine always
    hanged completely when the cyber2000fb module was loaded. It seems that the
    card hangs when some registers are accessed too quickly after writing RAMDAC
    control register. With this patch, both card work.

    Add delay after RAMDAC control register write to prevent hangs on module load.

  • __sa1111_remove always frees its argument, so the subsequent reference to
    sachip->saved_state represents a use after free. __sa1111_remove does not
    appear to use the saved_state field, so the patch simply frees it first.

    A simplified version of the semantic patch that finds this problem is as
    follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

    //

    expression E,E2;

  • In root_nfs_name() it does the following:

    if (strlen(buf) + strlen(cp) > NFS_MAXPATHLEN) {
    printk(KERN_ERR "Root-NFS: Pathname for remote directory too long.\n");
    return -1;
    }
    sprintf(nfs_export_path, buf, cp);

    In the original code if (strlen(buf) + strlen(cp) == NFS_MAXPATHLEN)
    then the sprintf() would lead to an overflow. Generally the rest of the
    code assumes that the path can have NFS_MAXPATHLEN (1024) characters and
    a NUL terminator so the fix is to add space to the nfs_export_path[]
    buffer.

  • Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check by removing the following validation
    condition:

    lockdep_tasklist_lock_is_held()

    as commit_creds() does not take the tasklist_lock, and nor do most of the
    functions that call it, so this check is pointless and it can prevent
    detection of the RCU lock not being held if the tasklist_lock is held.

    Instead, add the following validation condition:

    task->exit_state >= 0

    to permit the access if the target task is dead and therefore unable to change
    its own credentials.

    Fix __task_cred()'s comment to:

    (1) discard the bit that says that the caller must prevent the target task
    from being deleted. That shouldn't need saying.

    (2) Add a comment indicating the result of __task_cred() should not be passed
    directly to get_cred(), but rather than get_task_cred() should be used
    instead.

    Also put a note into the documentation to enforce this point there too.

  • It's possible for get_task_cred() as it currently stands to 'corrupt' a set of
    credentials by incrementing their usage count after their replacement by the
    task being accessed.

    What happens is that get_task_cred() can race with commit_creds():

    TASK_1 TASK_2 RCU_CLEANER
    -->get_task_cred(TASK_2)
    rcu_read_lock()
    __cred = __task_cred(TASK_2)
    -->commit_creds()
    old_cred = TASK_2->real_cred
    TASK_2->real_cred = ...
    put_cred(old_cred)
    call_rcu(old_cred)
    [__cred->usage == 0]
    get_cred(__cred)
    [__cred->usage == 1]
    rcu_read_unlock()
    -->put_cred_rcu()
    [__cred->usage == 1]
    panic()

    However, since a tasks credentials are generally not changed very often, we can
    reasonably make use of a loop involving reading the creds pointer and using
    atomic_inc_not_zero() to attempt to increment it if it hasn't already hit zero.

    If successful, we can safely return the credentials in the knowledge that, even
    if the task we're accessing has released them, they haven't gone to the RCU
    cleanup code.

    We then change task_state() in procfs to use get_task_cred() rather than
    calling get_cred() on the result of __task_cred(), as that suffers from the
    same problem.

    Without this change, a BUG_ON in __put_cred() or in put_cred_rcu() can be
    tripped when it is noticed that the usage count is not zero as it ought to be,
    for example:
