If a kernel thread is preempted in single-cpu mode right after the NOP (nop
about to be turned into a lock prefix), then we CPU hotplug a CPU, and then the
thread is scheduled back again, a SMP-unsafe atomic operation will be used on
shared SMP variables, leading to corruption. No corruption would happen in the
reverse case : going from SMP to UP is ok because we split a bit instruction
into tiny pieces, which does not present this condition.
Changing the 0x90 (single-byte nop) currently used into a 0x3E DS segment
override prefix should fix this issue. Since the default of the atomic
instructions is to use the DS segment anyway, it should not affect the
behavior.
The exception to this are references that use ESP/RSP and EBP/RBP as
the base register (they will use the SS segment), however, in Linux
(a) DS == SS at all times, and (b) we do not distinguish between
segment violations reported as #SS as opposed to #GP, so there is no
need to disassemble the instruction to figure out the suitable segment.
This patch assumes that the 0x3E prefix will leave atomic operations as-is (thus
assuming they normally touch data in the DS segment). Since there seem to be no
obvious ill-use of other segment override prefixes for atomic operations, it
should be safe. It can be verified with a quick
grep -r LOCK_PREFIX include/asm-x86/
grep -A 1 -r LOCK_PREFIX arch/x86/
Taken from
This source :
AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual Volume 3: General-Purpose and System
Instructions
States
"Instructions that Reference a Non-Stack Segment—If an instruction encoding
references any base register other than rBP or rSP, or if an instruction
contains an immediate offset, the default segment is the data segment (DS).
These instructions can use the segment-override prefix to select one of the
non-default segments, as shown in Table 1-5."
Therefore, forcing the DS segment on the atomic operations, which already use
the DS segment, should not change.

"In 64-bit the CS, SS, DS and ES segment overrides are ignored."
Confirmed by "AMD 64-Bit Technology" A.7
http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/x86-64_overview.pdf
"In 64-bit mode, the DS, ES, SS and CS segment-override prefixes have no effect.
These four prefixes are no longer treated as segment-override prefixes in the
context of multipleprefix rules. Instead, they are treated as null prefixes."
This patch applies to 2.6.27-rc2, but would also have to be applied to earlier
kernels (2.6.26, 2.6.25, ...).
Performance impact of the fix : tests done on "xaddq" and "xaddl" shows it
actually improves performances on Intel Xeon, AMD64, Pentium M. It does not
change the performance on Pentium II, Pentium 3 and Pentium 4.

Used http://www.graphpad.com/quickcalcs/ttest1.cfm?Format=C to do the
T-test (yeah, I'm lazy) :
Group Group One (DS prefix) Group Two (nops)
Mean 34.37815 34.37070
SD 0.46108 0.51905
SEM 0.10310 0.11606
N 20 20
P value and statistical significance:
The two-tailed P value equals 0.9620
By conventional criteria, this difference is considered to be not statistically significant.
Confidence interval:
The mean of Group One minus Group Two equals 0.00745
95% confidence interval of this difference: From -0.30682 to 0.32172
Intermediate values used in calculations:
t = 0.0480
df = 38
standard error of difference = 0.155
So, unless these calculus are completely bogus, the difference between the nop
and the DS case seems not to be statistically significant.

There is a bug in menu governor where we have
if (data->elapsed_us < data->elapsed_us + measured_us)
with measured_us already having elapsed_us added in tickless case here
unsigned int measured_us =
cpuidle_get_last_residency(dev) + data->elapsed_us;
Also, it should be last_residency, not measured_us, that need to be used to
do comparing and distinguish between expected & non-expected events.
Refactor menu_reflect() to fix these two problems.

poll_idle was added to CPUIDLE, just as a low latency idle handler, to be
used in cases when user desires CPUs not to enter any idle state at all. It
was supposed to be a run time idle=poll option to the user. But, it was indeed
getting used during normal menu and ladder governor default case, with no
special user setting (Reported by Linus Torvalds).
Change below ensures that poll_idle will not be used unless user explicitly
asks pm_qos infrastructure for zero latency requirement.

Not all AMD K8 have 6 VID pins, contrary to what was assumed in
commit 116d0486bdefc11f71e567cadf0c47f788b4dd06. This commit broke
support of older CPU models which have only 5 VID pins:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11329
We need two entries in the hwmon-vid table, one for 5-bit VID models
(K8 revision <= E) and one for 6-bit VID models (K8 revision >= F).
This fixes bug #11329.

Pardo reported that 64-bit threaded apps, if their stacks exceed the
combined size of ~4GB, slow down drastically in pthread_create() - because
glibc uses MAP_32BIT to allocate the stacks. The use of MAP_32BIT is
a legacy hack - to speed up context switching on certain early model
64-bit P4 CPUs.
So introduce a new flag to be used by glibc instead, to not constrain
64-bit apps like this.
glibc can switch to this new flag straight away - it will be ignored
by the kernel. If those old CPUs ever matter to anyone, support for
it can be implemented.

If a UD QP has some work requests queued to be sent by the DMA engine
followed by a local loopback work request, we have to wait for the
previous work requests to finish or the completion for the local
loopback work request would be generated out of order. The problem
was that the work request queue pointer was already updated so that
the request would not be processed when the DMA queue drained.

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x17a3e): Section mismatch in reference from the function set_pte_vaddr_pud() to the function .init.text:spp_getpage()
The function set_pte_vaddr_pud() references
the function __init spp_getpage().
This is often because set_pte_vaddr_pud lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of spp_getpage is wrong.
spp_getpage is called from __init (__init_extra_mapping) and
non __init (set_pte_vaddr_pud) functions, so it can't be __init.
Unfortunately it calls alloc_bootmem_pages which is __init,
but does it only when bootmem allocator is available (after_bootmem == 0).
So annotate it accordingly.

Jean Delvare's machine triggered this BUG
acpi_os_map_memory phys ffff0000 size 65535
------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at arch/x86/mm/pat.c:233!
with ACPI in the backtrace.
Adding some debugging output showed that ACPI calls
acpi_os_map_memory phys ffff0000 size 65535
And ioremap/PAT does this check in 32bit, so addr+size wraps and the BUG
in reserve_memtype() triggers incorrectly.
BUG_ON(start >= end); /* end is exclusive */
But reserve_memtype already uses u64:
int reserve_memtype(u64 start, u64 end,
so the 32bit truncation must happen in the caller. Presumably in ioremap
when it passes this information to reserve_memtype().
This patch does this computation in 64bit.

A fuzzed fileystem image failed with OMFS when the extent count was
used in a loop without being checked against the max number of extents.
It also provoked a signed division for an array index that was checked

Testing with a modified fsfuzzer reveals a couple of locations in omfs
where filesystem variables are ultimately used as loop counters with
insufficient sanity checking. In this case, dir->i_size is used to
compute the number of buckets in the directory hash. If too large,
readdir will overrun a buffer.
Since it's an invariant that dir->i_size is equal to the sysblock
size, and we already sanity check that, just use that value instead.
This fixes the following oops:

When reviewing a recent patch I noticed a potential trouble spot in the
registration of new SPI devices. The SPI master driver is told to set
the device up before adding it to the driver model, so that it's always
properly set up when probe() is called. (This is important, because in
the case of inverted chipselects, this device can make the bus misbehave
until it's properly deselected. It's got to be set up even if no driver
binds to the device.)
The trouble spot is that it doesn't first verify that no other device
has been added using that chipselect. If such a device has been added,
its configuration gets trashed. (Fortunately this has not been a common
error!)
The fix here adds an explicit check, and a mutex to protect the relevant
critical region.

write_cache_pages() uses i_mapping->writeback_index to pick up where it
left off the last time a given inode was found by pdflush or
balance_dirty_pages (or anyone else who sets wbc->range_cyclic)
alloc_inode() should set it to a sane value so that writeback doesn't
start in the middle of a file. It is somewhat difficult to notice the bug
since write_cache_pages will loop around to the start of the file and the
elevator helps hide the resulting seeks.
For whatever reason, Btrfs hits this often. Unpatched, untarring 30
copies of the linux kernel in series runs at 47MB/s on a single sata
drive. With this fix, it jumps to 62MB/s.

Currently, all sensors are read when the energy meter is queried via
sysfs. This introduces a considerable amount of delay and variation in
the sysfs reading, which is not desirable when trying to profile energy
use. Therefore, read only the energy meters when a sysfs query comes in
for them, and don't cache the results so that we always get the latest
reading.

On older machines, probing for a nonexistent AEM interface returned an
IPMI error; when we saw this, we'd stop probing. On the x3650 M2 and
(presumably) later, we are returned a value indicating success and a
buffer full of garbage or zeroes. This causes the probe function to run
in an infinite loop. To fix this, we add one last check--if the
interface number we're looking for is higher than the number of
interfaces that AEM claims to have, stop probing.

Previously the driver was only using DMI to prevent smbus probing on
non-Abit motherboards. However, since the manual probing method is
brittle and prone to failure on some Abit motherboards (esp. the Abit
IP35 Pro) it is better to use DMI to also read the board name and then
decide whether or not to probe the bus.
At the moment, we do not have a list of valid DMI name strings to use
for existing and supported motherboards. This patch only implements DMI
probing for the IP35 Pro. For motherboards that can not yet use DMI
probing, a warning will be printed to the kernel log asking those users
to email me their dmidecode output.
The existing manual probing mechanism will be used if CONFIG_DMI is not
enabled, if DMI probing fails (for DMI-unsupported motherboards), or if
DMI probing fails and the "force" option is set (for DMI-supported
motherboards). Ideally in the longer term this manual probing method
would be removed.
This patch should be safe to apply as it does not change the probing
behaviour for most of the supported motherboards, just the IP35 Pro,
which already has regressions filed against it in 2.6.26.
