1f6ef23429 [watchdog] hpwdt: fix use of inline assembly
The inline assembly in drivers/watchdog/hpwdt.c was incredibly broken,
and included all the function prologue and epilogue stuff, even though
it was itself then inside a C function where the compiler would add its
own prologue and epilogue on top of it all.

This then just _happened_ to work if you had exactly the right compiler
version and exactly the right compiler flags, so that gcc just happened
to not create any prologue at all (the gcc-generated epilogue wouldn't
matter, since it would never be reached).

But the more proper way to fix it is to simply not do this.  Move the
inline asm to the top level, with no surrounding function at all (the
better alternative would be to remove the prologue and make it actually
use proper description of the arguments to the inline asm, but that's a
bigger change than the one I'm willing to make right now).

89f5b7da2a Reinstate ZERO_PAGE optimization in 'get_user_pages()' and fix XIP
KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki and Oleg Nesterov point out that since the commit
557ed1fa26 ("remove ZERO_PAGE") removed
the ZERO_PAGE from the VM mappings, any users of get_user_pages() will
generally now populate the VM with real empty pages needlessly.

We used to get the ZERO_PAGE when we did the "handle_mm_fault()", but
since fault handling no longer uses ZERO_PAGE for new anonymous pages,
we now need to handle that special case in follow_page() instead.

In particular, the removal of ZERO_PAGE effectively removed the core
file writing optimization where we would skip writing pages that had not
been populated at all, and increased memory pressure a lot by allocating
all those useless newly zeroed pages.

This reinstates the optimization by making the unmapped PTE case the
same as for a non-existent page table, which already did this correctly.

While at it, this also fixes the XIP case for follow_page(), where the
caller could not differentiate between the case of a page that simply
could not be used (because it had no "struct page" associated with it)
and a page that just wasn't mapped.

We do that by simply returning an error pointer for pages that could not
be turned into a "struct page *".  The error is arbitrarily picked to be
EFAULT, since that was what get_user_pages() already used for the
equivalent IO-mapped page case.

[ Also removed an impossible test for pte_offset_map_lock() failing:
  that's not how that function works ]

54481cf88b x86: fix NULL pointer deref in __switch_to
I am able to reproduce the oops reported by Simon in __switch_to() with
lguest.

My debug showed that there is at least one lguest specific
issue (which should be present in 2.6.25 and before aswell) and it got
exposed with a kernel oops with the recent fpu dynamic allocation patches.

In addition to the previous possible scenario (with fpu_counter), in the
presence of lguest, it is possible that the cpu's TS bit it still set and the
lguest launcher task's thread_info has TS_USEDFPU still set.

This is because of the way the lguest launcher handling the guest's TS bit.
(look at lguest_set_ts() in lguest_arch_run_guest()). This can result
in a DNA fault while doing unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to(). This will
end up causing a DNA fault in the context of new process thats
getting context switched in (as opossed to handling DNA fault in the context
of lguest launcher/helper process).

This is wrong in both pre and post 2.6.25 kernels. In the recent
2.6.26-rc series, this is showing up as NULL pointer dereferences or
sleeping function called from atomic context(__switch_to()), as
we free and dynamically allocate the FPU context for the newly
created threads. Older kernels might show some FPU corruption for processes
running inside of lguest.

With the appended patch, my test system is running for more than 50 mins
now. So atleast some of your oops (hopefully all!) should get fixed.
Please give it a try. I will spend more time with this fix tomorrow.

bb10ed0994 sched: fix wait_for_completion_timeout() spurious failure under heavy load
It seems that the current implementaton of wait_for_completion_timeout()
has a small problem under very high load for the common pattern:

	if (!wait_for_completion_timeout(&done, timeout))
		/* handle failure */

because the implementation very roughly does (lots of code deleted to
show the basic flow):

	static inline long __sched
	do_wait_for_common(struct completion *x, long timeout, int state)
	{
		if (x->done)
			return timeout;

		do {
			timeout = schedule_timeout(timeout);

			if (!timeout)
				return timeout;

		} while (!x->done);

		return timeout;
	}

so if the system is very busy and x->done is not set when
do_wait_for_common() is entered, it is possible that the first call to
schedule_timeout() returns 0 because the task doing wait_for_completion
doesn't get rescheduled for a long time, even if it is woken up early
enough.

In this case, wait_for_completion_timeout() returns 0 without even
checking x->done again, and the code above falls into its failure case
purely for scheduler reasons, even if the hardware event or whatever was
being waited for happened early enough.

It would make sense to add an extra test to do_wait_for() in the timeout
case and return 1 if x->done is actually set.

A quick audit (not exhaustive) of wait_for_completion_timeout() callers
seems to indicate that no one actually cares about the return value in
the success case -- they just test for 0 (timed out) versus non-zero
(wait succeeded).

d4abc238c9 sched, delay accounting: fix incorrect delay time when constantly waiting on runqueue
This patch corrects the incorrect value of per process run-queue wait
time reported by delay statistics. The anomaly was due to the following
reason. When a process leaves the CPU and immediately starts waiting for
CPU on the runqueue (which means it remains in the TASK_RUNNABLE state),
the time of re-entry into the run-queue is never recorded. Due to this,
the waiting time on the runqueue from this point of re-entry upto the
next time it hits the CPU is not accounted for. This is solved by
recording the time of re-entry of a process leaving the CPU in the
sched_info_depart() function IF the process will go back to waiting on
the run-queue. This IF condition is verified by checking whether the
process is still in the TASK_RUNNABLE state.

The patch was tested on 2.6.26-rc6 using two simple CPU hog programs.
The values noted prior to the fix did not account for the time spent on
the runqueue waiting. After the fix, the correct values were reported
back to user space.

d3942cff62 x86: use BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE on 32-bit
This patch uses the BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE for crashkernel reservation also for
i386 and prints a error message on failure.

The patch is still for 2.6.26 since it is only bug fixing. The unification
of reserve_crashkernel() between i386 and x86_64 should be done for 2.6.27.

df17b1d990 x86, 32-bit: fix boot failure on TSC-less processors
Booting 2.6.26-rc6 on my 486 DX/4 fails with a "BUG: Int 6"
(invalid opcode) and a kernel halt immediately after the
kernel has been uncompressed. The BUG shows EIP pointing
to an rdtsc instruction in native_read_tsc(), invoked from
native_sched_clock().

(This error occurs so early that not even the serial console
can capture it.)

A bisection showed that this bug first occurs in 2.6.26-rc3-git7,
via commit 9ccc906c97:

>x86: distangle user disabled TSC from unstable
>
>tsc_enabled is set to 0 from the command line switch "notsc" and from
>the mark_tsc_unstable code. Seperate those functionalities and replace
>tsc_enable with tsc_disable. This makes also the native_sched_clock()

>
>Preparatory patch to solve the sched_clock() issue on 32 bit.

>Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

The core reason for this bug is that native_sched_clock() gets
called before tsc_init().

Before the commit above, tsc_32.c used a "tsc_enabled" variable
which defaulted to 0 == disabled, and which only got enabled late
in tsc_init(). Thus early calls to native_sched_clock() would skip
the TSC and use jiffies instead.

After the commit above, tsc_32.c uses a "tsc_disabled" variable
which defaults to 0, meaning that the TSC is Ok to use. Early calls
to native_sched_clock() now erroneously try to use the TSC on
!cpu_has_tsc processors, leading to invalid opcode exceptions.

My proposed fix is to initialise tsc_disabled to a "soft disabled"
state distinct from the hard disabled state set up by the "notsc"
kernel option. This fixes the native_sched_clock() problem. It also
allows tsc_init() to be simplified: instead of setting tsc_disabled = 1
on every error return, we just set tsc_disabled = 0 once when all
checks have succeeded.

I've verified that this lets my 486 boot again. I've also verified
that a Core2 machine still uses the TSC as clocksource after the patch.

Somehow (as described below) TS_USEDFPU is set but the fpu is not
allocated or freed.

Another possible FPU pre-emption issue with the sleazy FPU optimization
which was benign before but not so anymore, with the dynamic FPU allocation
patch.

New task is getting exec'd and it is prempted at the below point.

flush_thread() {
	...
	/*
	* Forget coprocessor state..
	*/
	clear_fpu(tsk);
		<----- Preemption point
	clear_used_math();
	...
}

Now when it context switches in again, as the used_math() is still set
and fpu_counter can be > 5, we will do a math_state_restore() which sets
the task's TS_USEDFPU. After it continues from the above preemption point
it does clear_used_math() and much later free_thread_xstate().

Now, at the next context switch, it is quite possible that xstate is
null, used_math() is not set and TS_USEDFPU is still set. This will
trigger unlazy_fpu() causing kernel oops.

Fix this  by clearing tsk's fpu_counter before clearing task's fpu.

ad524d46f3 x86: set PAE PHYSICAL_MASK_SHIFT to 44 bits.
When a 64-bit x86 processor runs in 32-bit PAE mode, a pte can
potentially have the same number of physical address bits as the
64-bit host ("Enhanced Legacy PAE Paging").  This means, in theory,
we could have up to 52 bits of physical address in a pte.

The 32-bit kernel uses a 32-bit unsigned long to represent a pfn.
This means that it can only represent physical addresses up to 32+12=44
bits wide.  Rather than widening pfns everywhere, just set 2^44 as the
Linux x86_32-PAE architectural limit for physical address size.

This is a bugfix for two cases:
1. running a 32-bit PAE kernel on a machine with
  more than 64GB RAM.
2. running a 32-bit PAE Xen guest on a host machine with
  more than 64GB RAM

In both cases, a pte could need to have more than 36 bits of physical,
and masking it to 36-bits will cause fairly severe havoc.

9c106c119e softlockup: fix NMI hangs due to lock race - 2.6.26-rc regression
The touch_nmi_watchdog() routine on x86 ultimately calls
touch_softlockup_watchdog().  The problem is that to touch the
softlockup watchdog, the cpu_clock code has to be called which could
involve multiple cpu locks and can lead to a hard hang if one of the
locks is held by a processor that is not going to return anytime soon
(such as could be the case with kgdb or perhaps even with some other
kind of exception).

This patch causes the public version of the
touch_softlockup_watchdog() to defer the cpu clock access to a later
point.

The test case for this problem is to use the following kernel config
options:

CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS=y
CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS_ON_BOOT=y
CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS_BOOT_STRING="V1F100I100000"

It should be noted that kgdb test suite and these options were not
available until 2.6.26-rc2, so it was necessary to patch the kgdb
test suite during the bisection.

I would consider this patch a regression fix because the problem first
appeared in commit 27ec440779 when some
logic was added to try to periodically sync the clocks.  It was
possible to work around this particular problem by simply not
performing the sync anytime the system was in a critical context.
This was ok until commit 3e51f33fcc,
which added config option CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK and some
multi-cpu locks to sync the clocks.  It became clear that accessing
this code from an nmi was the source of the lockups.  Avoiding the
access to the low level clock code from an code inside the NMI
processing also fixed the problem with the 27ec44... commit.

f18f982abf sched: CPU hotplug events must not destroy scheduler domains created by the cpusets
First issue is not related to the cpusets. We're simply leaking doms_cur.
It's allocated in arch_init_sched_domains() which is called for every
hotplug event. So we just keep reallocation doms_cur without freeing it.
I introduced free_sched_domains() function that cleans things up.

Second issue is that sched domains created by the cpusets are
completely destroyed by the CPU hotplug events. For all CPU hotplug
events scheduler attaches all CPUs to the NULL domain and then puts
them all into the single domain thereby destroying domains created
by the cpusets (partition_sched_domains).
The solution is simple, when cpusets are enabled scheduler should not
create default domain and instead let cpusets do that. Which is
exactly what the patch does.
