When an arch such as mips and microblaze does not implement either HW
or software single stepping the debug core should re-enter kdb. The
kdb code will properly ignore the single step operation. Attempting
to single step the kernel without software or hardware support causes
unpredictable kernel crashes.Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel

Presently the usable registers definitions on x86 are not contiguous
for kgdb. The x86 kgdb uses a case statement for the sparse register
accesses. The array which defines the registers (dbg_reg_def) should
not be used directly in order to safely work with sparse register
definitions.Specifically there was a problem when gdb accesses ORIG_AX, which is
accessed only through the case statement.This patch encodes register memory using the size information provided
from the debugger which avoids the need to look up the size of the
register. The dbg_set_reg() function always further validates the
inputs from the debugger.Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel

The kdb shell specification includes the ability to get and set
architecture specific registers by name.For the time being individual register get and set will be implemented
on a per architecture basis. If an architecture defines
DBG_MAX_REG_NUM > 0 then kdb and the gdbstub will use the capability
for individually getting and setting architecture specific registers.Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel

The gdb debugger understands how to parse short versions of the thread
reference string as long as the bytes are paired in sets of two
characters. The kgdb implementation was always sending 8 leading
zeros which could be omitted, and further optimized in the case of
non-negative thread numbers. The negative numbers are used to
reference a specific cpu in the case of kgdb.An example of the previous i386 stop packet looks like:
T05thread:00000000000003bb;New stop packet response:
T05thread:03bb;The previous ThreadInfo response looks like:

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.Reported-by: Andreas Barth

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

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.Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter

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,
