  • This patch fixes a wrong ifdef in the board setup code, leading to the GPIO
    pin not being pulled high, and thus the USB switch not being powered at all.

    This finishes the rename of CONFIG_USB_OHCI to CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD, which
    started in 2005 (before 2.6.12-rc2), then probably because things were
    working anyway for most people got forgotten.

    [Ralf: Paolo's original patch didn't fix the module case, Florian's patch
    only fixed MTX1 etc. so this is a combined patch plus some cleanups.]

  • When building a custom keymap, after setting GENERATE_KEYMAP := 1 in
    drivers/char/Makefile, the kernel build fails like this:

    CC drivers/char/vt.o
    make[2]: *** No rule to make target `drivers/char/%.map', needed by `drivers/char/defkeymap.c'. Stop.
    make[1]: *** [drivers/char] Error 2
    make: *** [drivers] Error 2

    This was caused by commit af8b128719f5248e542036ea994610a29d0642a6, which
    deleted a necessary colon from the Makefile rule that generates the keymap,
    since that rule contains both a target and a target-pattern. The following
    patch puts the colon back:

  • All the current page_mkwrite() implementations also set the page dirty. Which
    results in the set_page_dirty_balance() call to _not_ call balance, because the
    page is already found dirty.

    This allows us to dirty a _lot_ of pages without ever hitting
    balance_dirty_pages(). Not good (tm).

    Force a balance call if ->page_mkwrite() was successful.

  • When the ICMPv6 Target address is multicast, Linux processes the
    redirect instead of dropping it. The problem is in this code in
    ndisc_redirect_rcv():

    if (ipv6_addr_equal(dest, target)) {
    on_link = 1;
    } else if (!(ipv6_addr_type(target) & IPV6_ADDR_LINKLOCAL)) {
    ND_PRINTK2(KERN_WARNING
    "ICMPv6 Redirect: target address is not
    link-local.\n");
    return;
    }

    This second check will succeed if the Target address is, for example,
    FF02::1 because it has link-local scope. Instead, it should be checking
    if it's a unicast link-local address, as stated in RFC 2461/4861 Section
    8.1:

    - The ICMP Target Address is either a link-local address (when
    redirected to a router) or the same as the ICMP Destination
    Address (when redirected to the on-link destination).

    I know this doesn't explicitly say unicast link-local address, but it's
    implied.

    This bug is preventing Linux kernels from achieving IPv6 Logo Phase II
    certification because of a recent error that was found in the TAHI test
    suite - Neighbor Disovery suite test 206 (v6LC.2.3.6_G) had the
    multicast address in the Destination field instead of Target field, so
    we were passing the test. This won't be the case anymore.

    The patch below fixes this problem, and also fixes ndisc_send_redirect()
    to not send an invalid redirect with a multicast address in the Target
    field. I re-ran the TAHI Neighbor Discovery section to make sure Linux
    passes all 245 tests now.

  • When only GSO skb was partially ACKed, no hints are reset,
    therefore fastpath_cnt_hint must be tweaked too or else it can
    corrupt fackets_out. The corruption to occur, one must have
    non-trivial ACK/SACK sequence, so this bug is not very often
    that harmful. There's a fackets_out state reset in TCP because
    fackets_out is known to be inaccurate and that fixes the issue
    eventually anyway.

    In case there was also at least one skb that got fully ACKed,
    the fastpath_skb_hint is set to NULL which causes a recount for
    fastpath_cnt_hint (the old value won't be accessed anymore),
    thus it can safely be decremented without additional checking.

  • Async signals should not be reported as sent by current in audit log. As
    it is, we call audit_signal_info() too early in check_kill_permission().
    Note that check_kill_permission() has that test already - it needs to know
    if it should apply current-based permission checks. So the solution is to
    move the call of audit_signal_info() between those.

    Bogosity in question is easily reproduced - add a rule watching for e.g.
    kill(2) from specific process (so that audit_signal_info() would not
    short-circuit to nothing), say load_policy, watch the bogus OBJ_PID entry
    in audit logs claiming that write(2) on selinuxfs file issued by
    load_policy(8) had somehow managed to send a signal to syslogd...

  • VIA C3 Ezra-T has RevisionID equal to 1, but it needs RevisionKey to be 0
    or CPU will ignore new frequency and will continue to work at old
    frequency. New "revid_errata" option will force RevisionKey to be set to
    0, whatever RevisionID is.

    Additionaly "Longhaul" will not silently ignore unsuccessful transition.
    It will try to check if "revid_errata" or "disable_acpi_c3" options need to
    be enabled for this processor/system.

    Same for Longhaul ver. 2 support. It will be disabled if none of above
    options will work.

    Best case scenario (with patch apllied and v2 enabled):
    longhaul: VIA C3 'Ezra' [C5C] CPU detected. Longhaul v2 supported.
    longhaul: Using northbridge support.
    longhaul: VRM 8.5
    longhaul: Max VID=1.350 Min VID=1.050, 13 possible voltage scales
    longhaul: f: 300000 kHz, index: 0, vid: 1050 mV
    [...]
    longhaul: Voltage scaling enabled.
    Worst case scenario:
    longhaul: VIA C3 'Ezra-T' [C5M] CPU detected. Powersaver supported.
    longhaul: Using northbridge support.
    longhaul: Using ACPI support.
    longhaul: VRM 8.5
    longhaul: Claims to support voltage scaling but min & max are both 1.250. Voltage scaling disabled
    longhaul: Failed to set requested frequency!
    longhaul: Enabling "Ignore Revision ID" option.

  • When using /proc/timer_stats on ppc64 I noticed the events/sec field wasnt
    accurate. Sometimes the integer part was incorrect due to rounding (we
    werent taking the fractional seconds into consideration).

    The fraction part is also wrong, we need to pad the printf statement and

  • It turns out that there are a few other five-second timers in the
    kernel, and if the timers get in sync, the load-average can get
    artificially inflated by events that just happen to coincide.

    So just offset the load average calculation it by a timer tick.

    Noticed by Anders Boström, for whom the coincidence started triggering
    on one of his machines with the JBD jiffies rounding code (JBD is one of
    the subsystems that also end up using a 5-second timer by default).

  • We should generally prefer to return ERESTARTNOHAND rather than EINTR,
    so that processes with unhandled signals that get ignored don't return
    EINTR.

    This can help with X startup issues:

    Fatal server error:
    xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call

    although the real fix is having the X server always retry EINTR
    regardless (since EINTR does happen for signals that have handlers
    installed). Keithp has a patch for that.

    Regardless, ERESTARTNOHAND is the correct thing to use.

  • The PCI device table in the powermac IDE driver isn't properly
    terminated. Depending on how your kernel is linked and other random
    factors, you can end up with this driver matched against any other PCI
    device in your system, possibly crashing at boot.

    Thanks to Heikki for tracking this down with me, the bug have been there
    for some time, though it rarely hurts due to luck. In this case, the
    switch from .22 to .23-rc9 is causing it to show up due to differences
    in the resulting layout of .data I suppose.

  • When pinning and unpinning pagetables, we must protect them against
    being used by other CPUs, lest they see the pagetable in an
    intermediate read-only-but-not-pinned state.

    When using split pte locks, doing this properly would require taking
    all the pte locks for the pagetable while pinning, but this may overflow
    the PREEMPT_BITS part of the preempt counter if the process has mapped
    more than about 512M of memory.

    However, failing to take the pte locks causes write-protect faults when
    the pageout code is trying to clear the Access bit on a pte which is part
    of a freshy created and still being pinned process after fork.

    This is a short-term fix until the problem is solved properly.
