If kthread_run() fails or never gets to run we'll have NULL
or a pointer encoded error in kenvctrld_task, rather than
a legitimate task pointer.
So this makes bbc_envctrl_cleanup() crash as it passed this
bogus pointer into kthread_stop().

The tftpboot build was failing with missing file errors.
It turns out that $(obj)/image wasn't being generated which was causing the a.out conversion to be skipped and hence piggyback to be called with nonexistent files.

Kjetil Oftedal mentioned that piggyback_32 was failing
when building a sparc image.
I tracked this down to the fact that the kernel no longer
provided an absolute symbol named "end".
Commit 86ed40bd6fe511d26bb8f3fa65a84cb65c235366 ("sparc: unify sections.h")
renamed end to _end but failed to update piggyback_32.

This reverts commit 9e9f46c44e487af0a82eb61b624553e2f7118f5b.
Quoting from the commit message:
"At this point, it seems to solve more problems than it causes, so let's
try using it by default. It's an easy revert if it ends up causing
trouble."
And guess what? The _CRS code causes trouble.

Even though one cannot make use of the audit watch code without
CONFIG_AUDIT_SYSCALL the spaghetti nature of the audit code means that
the audit rule filtering requires that it at least be compiled.
Thus build the audit_watch code when we build auditfilter like it was
before cfcad62c74abfef83762dc05a556d21bdf3980a2
Clearly this is a point of potential future cleanup..

futex: Fix the write access fault problem for real
|
|
commit 64d1304a64 (futex: setup writeable mapping for futex ops which
modify user space data) did address only half of the problem of write
access faults.
The patch was made on two wrong assumptions:
1) access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE,...) would actually check write access.
On x86 it does _NOT_. It's a pure address range check.
2) a RW mapped region can not go away under us.
That's wrong as well. Nobody can prevent another thread to call
mprotect(PROT_READ) on that region where the futex resides. If that
call hits between the get_user_pages_fast() verification and the
actual write access in the atomic region we are toast again.
The solution is to not rely on access_ok and get_user() for any write
access related fault on private and shared futexes. Instead we need to
fault it in with verification of write access.
There is no generic non destructive write mechanism which would fault
the user page in trough a #PF, but as we already know that we will
fault we can as well call get_user_pages() directly and avoid the #PF
overhead.
If get_user_pages() returns -EFAULT we know that we can not fix it
anymore and need to bail out to user space.
Remove a bunch of confusing comments on this issue as well.

Traditionally, we never failed small orders (even regardless of any
__GFP_NOFAIL flags), and slab will allocate order-1 allocations even for
small allocations that could fit in a single page (in order to avoid
excessive fragmentation).
Maybe we should remove this warning entirely, but before making that
judgement, at least limit it to bigger allocations.

The existing code had the following race:
Thread-1 Thread-2
inc/read in_use
inc/read in_use
inc tx_free_list[qos].len
inc tx_free_list[qos].len
The actual in_use value was incremented twice, but thread-1 is going
to free memory based on its stale value, and will free one too many
times. The result is that memory is freed back to the kernel while
its packet is still in the transmit buffer. If the memory is
overwritten before it is transmitted, the hardware will put a valid
checksum on it and send it out (just like it does with good packets).
If by chance the TCP flags are clobbered but not the addresses or
ports, the result can be a broken TCP stream.
The fix is to track the number of freed packets in a single location
(a Fetch-and-Add Unit register). That way it can never get out of sync
with itself.
We try to free up to MAX_SKB_TO_FREE (currently 10) buffers at a time.
If fewer are available we adjust the free count with the difference.
The action of claiming buffers to free is atomic so two threads cannot
claim the same buffers.

The SMP implementation of suspend and hibernate depends on CPU hotplugging.
In the past we didn't have CPU hotplug so suspend and hibernation were not
possible on SMP systems.
Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
|

Each platform has to add support for CPU hotplugging itself by providing
suitable definitions for the cpu_disable and cpu_die of the smp_ops
methods and setting SYS_SUPPORTS_HOTPLUG_CPU. A platform should only set
SYS_SUPPORTS_HOTPLUG_CPU once all it's smp_ops definitions have the
necessary changes. This patch contains the changes to the dummy smp_ops
definition for uni-processor systems.

We can't perform any flushes on SMP from swsusp_arch_resume because
interrupts are disabled. A cross-CPU flush is unnecessary anyway
because all but the local CPU have already been disabled. A local
flush is not needed either because we didn't change any mappings. So
just delete the code.
