Distros generally (I looked at Debian, RHEL5 and SLES11) seem to
enable CONFIG_HIGHPTE for any x86 configuration which has highmem
enabled. This means that the overhead applies even to machines which
have a fairly modest amount of high memory and which therefore do not
really benefit from allocating PTEs in high memory but still pay the
price of the additional mapping operations.
Running kernbench on a 4G box I found that with CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y but
no actual highptes being allocated there was a reduction in system
time used from 59.737s to 55.9s.
With CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y and highmem PTEs being allocated:
Average Optimal load -j 4 Run (std deviation):
Elapsed Time 175.396 (0.238914)
User Time 515.983 (5.85019)
System Time 59.737 (1.26727)
Percent CPU 263.8 (71.6796)
Context Switches 39989.7 (4672.64)
Sleeps 42617.7 (246.307)
With CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y but with no highmem PTEs being allocated:
Average Optimal load -j 4 Run (std deviation):
Elapsed Time 174.278 (0.831968)
User Time 515.659 (6.07012)
System Time 55.9 (1.07799)
Percent CPU 263.8 (71.266)
Context Switches 39929.6 (4485.13)
Sleeps 42583.7 (373.039)
This patch allows the user to control the allocation of PTEs in
highmem from the command line ("userpte=nohigh") but retains the
status-quo as the default.
It is possible that some simple heuristic could be developed which
allows auto-tuning of this option however I don't have a sufficiently
large machine available to me to perform any particularly meaningful
experiments. We could probably handwave up an argument for a threshold
at 16G of total RAM.
Assuming 768M of lowmem we have 196608 potential lowmem PTE
pages. Each page can map 2M of RAM in a PAE-enabled configuration,
meaning a maximum of 384G of RAM could potentially be mapped using
lowmem PTEs.
Even allowing generous factor of 10 to account for other required
lowmem allocations, generous slop to account for page sharing (which
reduces the total amount of RAM mappable by a given number of PT
pages) and other innacuracies in the estimations it would seem that
even a 32G machine would not have a particularly pressing need for
highmem PTEs. I think 32G could be considered to be at the upper bound
of what might be sensible on a 32 bit machine (although I think in
practice 64G is still supported).
It's seems questionable if HIGHPTE is even a win for any amount of RAM
you would sensibly run a 32 bit kernel on rather than going 64 bit.

Fix a SMT scheduler performance regression that is leading to a scenario
where SMT threads in one core are completely idle while both the SMT threads
in another core (on the same socket) are busy.
This is caused by this commit (with the problematic code highlighted)
On a SMT system, power of the HT logical cpu will be 589 and
the scheduler load imbalance (for scenarios like the one mentioned above)
can be approximately 1024 (SCHED_LOAD_SCALE). The above change of scaling
the weighted load with the power will result in "wl > imbalance" and
ultimately resulting in find_busiest_queue() return NULL, causing
load_balance() to think that the load is well balanced. But infact
one of the tasks can be moved to the idle core for optimal performance.
We don't need to use the weighted load (wl) scaled by the cpu power to
compare with imabalance. In that condition, we already know there is only a
single task "rq->nr_running == 1" and the comparison between imbalance,
wl is to make sure that we select the correct priority thread which matches
imbalance. So we really need to compare the imabalnce with the original
weighted load of the cpu and not the scaled load.
But in other conditions where we want the most hammered(busiest) cpu, we can
use scaled load to ensure that we consider the cpu power in addition to the
actual load on that cpu, so that we can move the load away from the
guy that is getting most hammered with respect to the actual capacity,
as compared with the rest of the cpu's in that busiest group.
Fix it.

Free the dm_io structure before calling bio_endio() instead of after it,
to ensure that the io_pool containing it is not referenced after it is
freed.
This partially fixes a problem described here
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2010-February/msg00109.html
thread 1:
bio_endio(bio, io_error);
/* scheduling happens */
thread 2:
close the device
remove the device
thread 1:
free_io(md, io);
Thread 2, when removing the device, sees non-empty md->io_pool (because the
io hasn't been freed by thread 1 yet) and may crash with BUG in mempool_free.
Thread 1 may also crash, when freeing into a nonexisting mempool.
To fix this we must make sure that bio_endio() is the last call and
the md structure is not accessed afterwards.
There is another bio_endio in process_barrier, but it is called from the thread
and the thread is destroyed prior to freeing the mempools, so this call is
not affected by the bug.
A similar bug exists with module unloads - the module may be unloaded
immediately after bio_endio - but that is more difficult to fix.
The else part of the if statement is indented but does not have braces
around it. It clearly should since it uses clk_enable and clk_disable
which are supposed to balance.
The 'struct svc_deferred_req's on the xpt_deferred queue do not
own a reference to the owning xprt. This is seen in svc_revisit
which is where things are added to this queue. dr->xprt is set to
NULL and the reference to the xprt it put.
So when this list is cleaned up in svc_delete_xprt, we mustn't
put the reference.
Also, replace the 'for' with a 'while' which is arguably
simpler and more likely to compile efficiently.

1. Open a USB device through devio.
2. Remove the hcd module in the host kernel.
3. Close the devio file descriptor.
The problem is that closing the file descriptor does usb_release_dev
as it is the last reference. usb_release_dev then tries to invoke
the hcd free_dev function (or rather dereferencing the hcd driver
struct). This causes an oops as the hcd driver has already been
unloaded so the struct is gone.
This patch tries to fix this by bringing the free_dev call earlier
and into usb_disconnect. I have verified that repeating the
above steps no longer crashes with this patch applied.

This occurs because an interrupt scans uhci->skelqh, which is
being freed. We do the right thing: disable the interrupts in the
device, and do not do any processing if the interrupt is shared
with other source, but it's possible that another CPU gets
delayed somewhere (e.g. loops) until we started freeing.
The agreed-upon solution is to wait for interrupts to play out
before proceeding. No other bareers are neceesary.

As you can see igb and ixgbe are both alternating on create_irq_nr()
via pci_enable_msix() in their probe function.
ixgbe: While looping through irq_desc_ptrs[] via create_irq_nr() ixgbe
choses irq_desc_ptrs[102] and exits the loop, drops vector_lock and
calls dynamic_irq_init. Then it sets irq_desc_ptrs[102]->chip_data =
NULL via dynamic_irq_init().
igb: Grabs the vector_lock now and starts looping over irq_desc_ptrs[]
via create_irq_nr(). It gets to irq_desc_ptrs[102] and does this:
cfg_new = irq_desc_ptrs[102]->chip_data;
if (cfg_new->vector != 0)
continue;
This hits the NULL deref.
Another possible race exists via pci_disable_msix() in a driver or in
the number of error paths that call free_msi_irqs():
There's a path in the pagefault code where the kernel deliberately
breaks its own locking rules by kmapping a high pte page without
holding the pagetable lock (in at least page_check_address). This
breaks Xen's ability to track the pinned/unpinned state of the
page. There does not appear to be a viable workaround for this
behaviour so simply disable HIGHPTE for all Xen guests.

Do not set current->mm->mmap to NULL in 32-bit emulation on 64-bit
load_aout_binary after flush_old_exec as it would destroy already
set brpm mapping with arguments.
Studying the DSDTs of various thinkpads, it looks like bit 3 of the
argument to SBDC and SWAN is not "set radio to last state on resume".
Rather, it seems to be "if this bit is set, enable radio on resume,
otherwise disable it on resume".
So, the proper way to prepare the radios for S3 suspend is: disable
radio and clear bit 3 on the SBDC/SWAN call to to resume with radio
disabled, and enable radio and set bit 3 on the SBDC/SWAN call to
resume with the radio enabled.
Also, for persistent devices, the rfkill core does not restore state,
so we really need to get the firmware to do the right thing.
We don't sync the radio state on suspend, instead we trust the BIOS to
not do anything weird if we never touched the radio state since boot.
Time will tell if that's a wise way of doing things...

Event 0x3006 is used to help power management of the ODD in the

Normally, Linux doesn't need this as we keep the SATA link powered
up (which wastes power). The EC powers up the bay by itself when the
ODD eject button is pressed, and the SATA PHY reports the hotplug.
However, we could also power that SATA link down (and for that matter,
also power down the Ultrabay) if the ODD is left idle for a while with
no disk inside, and use event 0x3006 to know when we need that SATA link
powered back up.

In AP mode, ath_beacon_config_ap only restarts the timer if a TSF

unconditionally sets the flag for TSF reset.
The problem with this is, that ath9k_hw_reset() clobbers the timer

SWBA interrupt whenever a card reset without TSF reset is issued
(happens in a few places in the code).
This patch fixes ath_beacon_config_ap to only issue the TSF reset flag

This was noticed by Matthias Urlichs and he proposed a fix. This patch
does the fixing a different way to avoid introducing several new race
conditions into the code.
The problem case is TTY_DRIVER_RESET_TERMIOS = 0. In that case while we
abort the ldisc change, the hangup processing has not cleaned up and restarted
the ldisc either.
We can't restart the ldisc stuff in the set_ldisc as we don't know what
the hangup did and may touch stuff we shouldn't as we are no longer
supposed to influence the tty at that point in case it has been re-opened
before we get rescheduled.
Instead do it the simple way. Always re-init the ldisc on the hangup, but
use TTY_DRIVER_RESET_TERMIOS to indicate that we should force N_TTY.

The problem is that kobject_add_internal() first adds a kobject to the
kset and then try to create sysfs directory for it. If the creation
fails, it remove the kobject from the kset. get_device_parent()
accesses class_dirs kset while only holding class_dirs.list_lock to
see whether the cuse class dir exists. But when it exists, it may not
have finished initialization yet or may fail and get removed soon. In
the above case, the former happened so the second one ends up trying
to create subdirectory under NULL sysfs_dirent.
Fix it by grabbing a mutex in get_device_parent().
Don't touch the variable 'reg' to construct the value for the actual SPI
transport. This variable is again used to access the driver's register
cache, and so random memory is overwritten.
Compute the value in-place instead.

Here's a patch that adds MIDI support through USB for one of the Access
Music synths, the VirusTI.
The synth uses standard USBMIDI protocol on its USB interface 3, although
it does signal "vendor specific" class. A magic string has to be sent on
interface 3 to enable the sending of MIDI from the synth (this string was
found by sniffing usb communication of the Windows driver). This is all
my patch does, and it works on my computer.
Please note that the synth can also do standard usb audio I/O on its
interfaces 2&3, which already works with the current snd-usb-audio driver,
except for the audio input from the synth. I'm going to work on it when I
have some time.

Standard AMD systems have the same number of nodes as there are
northbridge devices. However, there may kernel configurations

is different or it can not be detected properly. Thus the check is not

better to remove the check.

Some code that is in ams_exit() (the module exit code) should instead
be called when the device (not module) is removed. It probably doesn't
make much of a difference in the PMU case, but in the I2C case it does
matter.
I make no guarantee that my fix isn't racy, I'm not familiar enough
with the ams driver code to tell for sure.

Looking at drivers/macintosh/therm_adt746x.c, the sysfs files are
created in thermostat_init() and removed in thermostat_exit(), which
are the driver's init and exit functions. These files are backed-up by
a per-device structure, so it looks like the wrong thing to do: the
sysfs files have a lifetime longer than the data structure that is
backing it up.
I think that sysfs files creation should be moved to the end of
probe_thermostat() and sysfs files removal should be moved to the
beginning of remove_thermostat().

The hibernate memory preallocation code allocates memory to push some
user space data out of physical RAM, so that the hibernation image is
not too large. It allocates more memory than necessary for creating
the image, so it has to release some pages to make room for
allocations made while suspending devices and disabling nonboot CPUs,
or the system will hang due to the lack of free pages to allocate
from. Unfortunately, the function used for freeing these pages,
free_unnecessary_pages(), contains a bug that prevents it from doing
the job on all systems without highmem.
Fix this problem, which is a regression from the 2.6.30 kernel, by
using the right condition for the termination of the loop in
free_unnecessary_pages().

The HV core mucks around with specific irqs and other low-level stuff
and takes forever to determine that it really shouldn't be running on a
machine. So instead, trigger off of the DMI system information and
error out much sooner. This also allows the module loading tools to
recognize that this code should be loaded on this type of system.
All of the SH clocksource drivers follow the scheme that the IRQ is setup
prior to registering the clockevent. The interrupt handler in the
clockevent cases looks to the event handler function pointer being filled
in by the registration code, permitting us to get in to situations where
asserted IRQs step in to the handler before registration has had a chance
to complete and hitting a NULL pointer deref.
In practice this is not an issue for most platforms, but some of them
with fairly special loaders (or that are chain-loading from another
kernel) may enter in to this situation. This fixes up the oops reported
by Rafael on hp6xx.

the workqueue function (similarly to other drivers, like tg3), with
spin_lock() changed to BH version.
Additionally, there is spin_lock_irq() moved in rhine_close() to
exclude napi_disable() etc., also tg3's way.

Original code incorrectly assumed only status-type-0
IOCBs would be queued to the response-queue, and thus all
entries would safely reference a VHA from the IOCB
'handle.'
This patch workaround a possible security issue which can allow
user to abuse drm on r6xx/r7xx hw to access any system ram memory.
This patch doesn't break userspace, it detect "valid" old use of
CB_COLOR[0-7]_FRAG & CB_COLOR[0-7]_TILE registers and overwritte
the address these registers are pointing to with the one of the
last color buffer. This workaround will work for old mesa &
xf86-video-ati and any old user which did use similar register
programming pattern as those (we expect that there is no others
user of those ioctl except possibly a malicious one). This patch
add a warning if it detects such usage, warning encourage people
to update their mesa & xf86-video-ati. New userspace will submit
proper relocation.
Fix for xf86-video-ati / mesa (this kernel patch is enough to
prevent abuse, fix for userspace are to set proper cs stream and
avoid kernel warning) :
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati/commit/?id=95d63e408cc88b6934bec84a0b1ef94dfe8bee7b
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=46dc6fd3ed5ef96cda53641a97bc68c3bc104a9f
Abusing this register to perform system ram memory is not easy,
here is outline on how it could be achieve. First attacker must
have access to the drm device and be able to submit command stream
throught cs ioctl. Then attacker must build a proper command stream
for r6xx/r7xx hw which will abuse the FRAG or TILE buffer to
overwrite the GPU GART which is in VRAM. To achieve so attacker
as to setup CB_COLOR[0-7]_FRAG or CB_COLOR[0-7]_TILE to point
to the GPU GART, then it has to find a way to write predictable
value into those buffer (with little cleverness i believe this
can be done but this is an hard task). Once attacker have such
program it can overwritte GPU GART to program GPU gart to point
anywhere in system memory. It then can reusse same method as he
used to reprogram GART to overwritte the system ram through the
GART mapping. In the process the attacker has to be carefull to
not overwritte any sensitive area of the GART table, like ring
or IB gart entry as it will more then likely lead to GPU lockup.
Bottom line is that i think it's very hard to use this flaw
to get system ram access but in theory one can achieve so.
Side note: I am not aware of anyone ever using the GPU as an
attack vector, nevertheless we take great care in the opensource
driver to try to detect and forbid malicious use of GPU. I don't
think the closed source driver are as cautious as we are.
