git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 linker bug workarounds from Peter Anvin. GNU ld-2.22.52.0.[12] (*) has an unfortunate bug where it incorrectly turns certain relocation entries absolute. Section-relative symbols that are part of otherwise empty sections are silently changed them to absolute. We rely on section-relative symbols staying section-relative, and actually have several sections in the linker script solely for this purpose. See for example http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14052 We could just black-list the buggy linker, but it appears that it got shipped in at least F17, and possibly other distros too, so it's sadly not some rare unusual case. This backports the workaround from the x86/trampoline branch, and as Peter says: "This is not a minimal fix, not at all, but it is a tested code base." * 'x86/ld-fix' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86, relocs: When printing an error, say relative or absolute x86, relocs: Workaround for binutils 2.22.52.0.1 section bug x86, realmode: 16-bit real-mode code support for relocs tool (*) That's a manly release numbering system.

2012-05-19memcg,thp: fix res_counter:96 regressionHugh Dickins
Occasionally, testing memcg's move_charge_at_immigrate on rc7 shows a flurry of hundreds of warnings at kernel/res_counter.c:96, where res_counter_uncharge_locked() does WARN_ON(counter->usage < val). The first trace of each flurry implicates __mem_cgroup_cancel_charge() of mc.precharge, and an audit of mc.precharge handling points to mem_cgroup_move_charge_pte_range()'s THP handling in commit 12724850e806 ("memcg: avoid THP split in task migration"). Checking !mc.precharge is good everywhere else, when a single page is to be charged; but here the "mc.precharge -= HPAGE_PMD_NR" likely to follow, is liable to result in underflow (a lot can change since the precharge was estimated). Simply check against HPAGE_PMD_NR: there's probably a better alternative, trying precharge for more, splitting if unsuccessful; but this one-liner is safer for now - no kernel/res_counter.c:96 warnings seen in 26 hours.

2012-05-19ipv6: disable GSO on sockets hitting dst_allfragEric Dumazet
If the allfrag feature has been set on a host route (due to an ICMPv6 Packet Too Big received indicating a MTU of less than 1280), we hit a very slow behavior in TCP stack, because all big packets are dropped and only a retransmit timer is able to push one MSS frame every 200 ms. One way to handle this is to disable GSO on the socket the first time a super packet is dropped. Adding a specific dst_allfrag() in the fast path is probably overkill since the dst_allfrag() case almost never happen.

2012-05-18ipv6: ip6_fragment() should check CHECKSUM_PARTIALEric Dumazet
Quoting Tore Anderson from : If the allfrag feature has been set on a host route (due to an ICMPv6 Packet Too Big received indicating a MTU of less than 1280), TCP SYN/ACK packets to that destination appears to get an incorrect TCP checksum. This in turn means they are thrown away as invalid. In the case of an IPv4 client behind a link with a MTU of less than 1260, accessing an IPv6 server through a stateless translator, this means that the client can only download a single large file from the server, because once it is in the server's routing cache with the allfrag feature set, new TCP connections can no longer be established. </endquote> It appears ip6_fragment() doesn't handle CHECKSUM_PARTIAL properly. As network drivers are not prepared to fetch correct transport header, a safe fix is to call skb_checksum_help() before fragmenting packet.

2012-05-18x86, realmode: 16-bit real-mode code support for relocs toolH. Peter Anvin
A new option is added to the relocs tool called '--realmode'. This option causes the generation of 16-bit segment relocations and 32-bit linear relocations for the real-mode code. When the real-mode code is moved to the low-memory during kernel initialization, these relocation entries can be used to relocate the code properly. In the assembly code 16-bit segment relocations must be relative to the 'real_mode_seg' absolute symbol. Linear relocations must be relative to a symbol prefixed with 'pa_'. 16-bit segment relocation is used to load cs:ip in 16-bit code. Linear relocations are used in the 32-bit code for relocatable data references. They are declared in the linker script of the real-mode code. The relocs tool is moved to arch/x86/tools/relocs.c, and added new target archscripts that can be used to build scripts needed building an architecture. be compiled before building the arch/x86 tree. [ hpa: accelerating this because it detects invalid absolute relocations, a serious bug in binutils 2.22.52.0.x which currently produces bad kernels. ] Signed-off-by: H.

2012-05-19dm thin: fix table output when pool target disables discard passdown internallyMike Snitzer
When the thin pool target clears the discard_passdown parameter internally, it incorrectly changes the table line reported to userspace. This breaks dumb string comparisons on these table lines in generic userspace device-mapper library code and leads to tables being reloaded repeatedly when nothing is actually meant to be changing. This patch corrects this by no longer changing the table line when discard passdown was disabled. We can still tell when discard passdown is overridden by looking for the message "Discard unsupported by data device (sdX): Disabling discard passdown." This automatic detection is also moved from the 'load' to the 'resume' so that it is re-evaluated should the properties of underlying devices change.

2012-05-18proc: move fd symlink i_mode calculations into tid_fd_revalidate()Linus Torvalds
Instead of doing the i_mode calculations at proc_fd_instantiate() time, move them into tid_fd_revalidate(), which is where the other inode state (notably uid/gid information) is updated too. Otherwise we'll end up with stale i_mode information if an fd is re-used while the dentry still hangs around. Not that anything really *cares* (symlink permissions don't really matter), but Tetsuo Handa noticed that the owner read/write bits don't always match the state of the readability of the file descriptor, and we _used_ to get this right a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Besides, aside from fixing an ugly detail (that has apparently been this way since commit 61a28784028e: "proc: Remove the hard coded inode numbers" in 2006), this removes more lines of code than it adds. And it just makes sense to update i_mode in the same place we update i_uid/gid. Al Viro correctly points out that we could just do the inode fill in the inode iops ->getattr() function instead. However, that does require somewhat slightly more invasive changes, and adds yet *another* lookup of the file descriptor. We need to do the revalidate() for other reasons anyway, and have the file descriptor handy, so we might as well fill in the information at this point.

2012-05-18tilegx: enable SYSCALL_WRAPPERS supportChris Metcalf
Some discussion with the glibc mailing lists revealed that this was necessary for 64-bit platforms with MIPS-like sign-extension rules for 32-bit values. The original symptom was that passing (uid_t)-1 to setreuid() was failing in programs linked -pthread because of the "setxid" mechanism for passing setxid-type function arguments to the syscall code. SYSCALL_WRAPPERS handles ensuring that all syscall arguments end up with proper sign-extension and is thus the appropriate fix for this problem. On other platforms (s390, powerpc, sparc64, and mips) this was fixed in 2.6.28.6. The general issue is tracked as CVE-2009-0029.

As iwlwifi use fat skbs, it should not pull too much data in skb->head, and particularly no tcp data payload, or splice() is slower, and TCP coalescing is disabled. Copying payload to userland also involves at least two copies (part from header, part from fragment) Each layer will pull its header from the fragment as needed. (on 64bit arches, skb_tailroom(skb) at this point is 192 bytes) With this patch applied, I have a major reduction of collapsed/pruned TCP packets, a nice increase of TCPRcvCoalesce counter, and overall better Internet User experience. Small packets are still using a fragless skb, so that page can be reused by the driver.

map_files/ entries are never supposed to be executed, still curious minds might try to run them, which leads to the following deadlock ====================================================== [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] 3.4.0-rc4-24406-g841e6a6 #121 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------------- bash/1556 is trying to acquire lock: (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#8){+.+.+.}, at: do_lookup+0x267/0x2b1 but task is already holding lock: (&sig->cred_guard_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: prepare_bprm_creds+0x2d/0x69 which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #1 (&sig->cred_guard_mutex){+.+.+.}: validate_chain+0x444/0x4f4 __lock_acquire+0x387/0x3f8 lock_acquire+0x12b/0x158 __mutex_lock_common+0x56/0x3a9 mutex_lock_killable_nested+0x40/0x45 lock_trace+0x24/0x59 proc_map_files_lookup+0x5a/0x165 __lookup_hash+0x52/0x73 do_lookup+0x276/0x2b1 walk_component+0x3d/0x114 do_last+0xfc/0x540 path_openat+0xd3/0x306 do_filp_open+0x3d/0x89 do_sys_open+0x74/0x106 sys_open+0x21/0x23 tracesys+0xdd/0xe2 -> #0 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#8){+.+.+.}: check_prev_add+0x6a/0x1ef validate_chain+0x444/0x4f4 __lock_acquire+0x387/0x3f8 lock_acquire+0x12b/0x158 __mutex_lock_common+0x56/0x3a9 mutex_lock_nested+0x40/0x45 do_lookup+0x267/0x2b1 walk_component+0x3d/0x114 link_path_walk+0x1f9/0x48f path_openat+0xb6/0x306 do_filp_open+0x3d/0x89 open_exec+0x25/0xa0 do_execve_common+0xea/0x2f9 do_execve+0x43/0x45 sys_execve+0x43/0x5a stub_execve+0x6c/0xc0 This is because prepare_bprm_creds grabs task->signal->cred_guard_mutex and when do_lookup happens we try to grab task->signal->cred_guard_mutex again in lock_trace. Fix it using plain ptrace_may_access() helper in proc_map_files_lookup() and in proc_map_files_readdir() instead of lock_trace(), the caller must be CAP_SYS_ADMIN granted anyway.

2012-05-17drivers/rtc/rtc-pl031.c: configure correct wday for 2000-01-01Rajkumar Kasirajan
The reset date of the ST Micro version of PL031 is 2000-01-01. The correct weekday for 2000-01-01 is saturday, but pl031 is initialized to sunday. This may lead to alarm malfunction, so configure the correct wday if RTC_DR indicates reset.

Pull two networking fixes from David S. Miller: 1) Thanks to Willy Tarreau and Eric Dumazet, we've unlocked a bug that's been present in do_tcp_sendpages() since that function was written in 2002. When we block to wait for memory we have to unconditionally try and push out pending TCP data, otherwise we can block for an unreasonably long amount of time. 2) Fix deadlock in e1000, fixes kernel bugzilla 43132 From Tushar Dave. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: e1000: Prevent reset task killing itself. tcp: do_tcp_sendpages() must try to push data out on oom conditions
2012-05-17ACPI / PCI / PM: Fix device PM regression related to D3hot/D3coldRafael J. Wysocki
Commit 1cc0c998fdf2 ("ACPI: Fix D3hot v D3cold confusion") introduced a bug in __acpi_bus_set_power() and changed the behavior of acpi_pci_set_power_state() in such a way that it generally doesn't work as expected if PCI_D3hot is passed to it as the second argument. First off, if ACPI_STATE_D3 (equal to ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD) is passed to __acpi_bus_set_power() and the explicit_set flag is set for the D3cold state, the function will try to execute AML method called "_PS4", which doesn't exist. Fix this by adding a check to ensure that the name of the AML method to execute for transitions to ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD is correct in __acpi_bus_set_power(). Also make sure that the explicit_set flag for ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD will be set if _PS3 is present and modify acpi_power_transition() to avoid accessing power resources for ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD, because they don't exist. Second, if PCI_D3hot is passed to acpi_pci_set_power_state() as the target state, the function will request a transition to ACPI_STATE_D3_HOT instead of ACPI_STATE_D3. However, ACPI_STATE_D3_HOT is now only marked as supported if the _PR3 AML method is defined for the given device, which is rare. This causes problems to happen on systems where devices were successfully put into ACPI D3 by pci_set_power_state(PCI_D3hot) which doesn't work now. In particular, some unused graphics adapters are not turned off as a result. To fix this issue restore the old behavior of acpi_pci_set_power_state(), which is to request a transition to ACPI_STATE_D3 (equal to ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD) if either PCI_D3hot or PCI_D3cold is passed to it as the argument. This approach is not ideal, because generally power should not be removed from devices if PCI_D3hot is the target power state, but since this behavior is relied on, we have no choice but to restore it at the moment and spend more time on designing a better solution in the future.
