  • The recent 9p commit: bd238fb431f31989898423c8b6496bc8c4204a86 that
    supposedly only moved files also introduced a new 9p sysctl interface
    that did not properly register it's sysctl binary numbers.

    And since it was only for debugging clearly did not need a binary fast
    path in any case. So this patch just remove the binary numbers.

    See Documentation/sysctl/ctl_unnumbered.txt for more details.

    While I was at it I cleaned up the sysctl initializers a little as
    well so there is less to read.

  • Now that the last inlined instances are gone, all that is left to do
    is turning disable_irq_nosync on arm26 and m68k from defines to aliases
    and we are all set - we can make these externs in linux/interrupt.h
    uncoditional and kill remaining instances in asm/irq.h

  • Due to index register access ordering problems, when using macros a line
    like this fails (and does nothing):

    setCx86(CX86_CCR2, getCx86(CX86_CCR2) | 0x88);

    With inlined functions this line will work as expected.

    Note about a side effect: Seems on Geode GX1 based systems the
    "suspend on halt power saving feature" was never enabled due to this
    wrong macro expansion. With inlined functions it will be enabled, but
    this will stop the TSC when the CPU runs into a HLT instruction.
    Kernel output something like this:
    Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -472746897 ns)

    This is the 3rd version of this patch.

    - Adding missed arch/i386/kernel/cpu/mtrr/state.c
    Thanks to Andres Salomon
    - Adding some big fat comments into the new header file

  • When a machine check or NMI occurs while multiple byte code is patched
    the CPU could theoretically see an inconsistent instruction and crash.
    Prevent this by temporarily disabling MCEs and returning early in the

  • Reenable kprobes and alternative patching when the kernel text is write
    protected by DEBUG_RODATA

    Add a general utility function to change write protected text. The new
    function remaps the code using vmap to write it and takes care of CPU
    synchronization. It also does CLFLUSH to make icache recovery faster.

    There are some limitations on when the function can be used, see the
    comment.

    This is a newer version that also changes the paravirt_ops code.
    text_poke also supports multi byte patching now.

    Contains bug fixes from Zach Amsden and suggestions from Mathieu
    Desnoyers.

  • This patch makes the i386 behave the same way that x86_64 does when a
    segfault happens. A line gets printed to the kernel log so that tools
    that need to check for failures can behave more uniformly between
    debug.show_unhandled_signals sysctl variable to 0 (or by doing echo 0 >
    /proc/sys/debug/exception-trace)

    Also, all of the lines being printed are now using printk_ratelimit() to
    deny the ability of DoS from a local user with a program like the
    following:

    main()
    {
    while (1)
    if (!fork()) *(int *)0 = 0;
    }

    This new revision also includes the fix that Andrew did which got rid of
    new sysctl that was added to the system in earlier versions of this.
    Also, 'show-unhandled-signals' sysctl has been renamed back to the old
    'exception-trace' to avoid breakage of people's scripts.

    AK: Enabling by default for i386 will be likely controversal, but let's see what happens
    AK: Really folks, before complaining just fix your segfaults
    AK: I bet this will find a lot of silent issues
