2008-07-10exec: fix stack excutability without PT_GNU_STACKHugh Dickins
Kernel Bugzilla #11063 points out that on some architectures (e.g. x86_32) exec'ing an ELF without a PT_GNU_STACK program header should default to an executable stack; but this got broken by the unlimited argv feature because stack vma is now created before the right personality has been established: so breaking old binaries using nested function trampolines. Therefore re-evaluate VM_STACK_FLAGS in setup_arg_pages, where stack vm_flags used to be set, before the mprotect_fixup. Checking through our existing VM_flags, none would have changed since insert_vm_struct: so this seems safer than finding a way through the personality labyrinth.

2008-07-10Fix PREEMPT_RCU without HOTPLUG_CPUNick Piggin
PREEMPT_RCU without HOTPLUG_CPU is broken. The rcu_online_cpu is called to initially populate rcu_cpu_online_map with all online CPUs when the hotplug event handler is installed, and also to populate the map with CPUs as they come online. The former case is meant to happen with and without HOTPLUG_CPU, but without HOTPLUG_CPU, the rcu_offline_cpu function is no-oped -- while it still gets called, it does not set the rcu CPU map. With a blank RCU CPU map, grace periods get to tick by completely oblivious to active RCU read side critical sections. This results in free-before-grace bugs. Fix is obvious once the problem is known. (Also, change __devinit to __cpuinit so the function gets thrown away on !HOTPLUG_CPU kernels).

2008-07-10ocfs2: Fix flags in ocfs2_file_lockMark Fasheh
The stack-glue merge changed the way we use flags in dlmglue in that we now use the fs/dlm equivalents. Unfortunately, a merge error left the new flock code only partially updated. This took a while to show up though, because the lock level constants are actually identical between o2dlm and fs/dlm. The *_CONVERT and *_NOQUEUE flags have different values though, which is eventually causing a crash in flags_to_o2dlm(). Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>
