[SCTP]: Clean up naming conventions of sctp protocol/address family registration
I noticed while looking into some odd behavior in sctp, that the variable
name sctp_pf_inet6_specific was used twice to represent two different
pieces of data (its both a structure name and a pointer to that type of

Iff the parent has TIF_DEBUG set, _and_ clone_flags includes
CLONE_PTRACE we should set the TIF_DEBUG flag for the child and

Currently, the child inherits TIF_DEBUG from the parent before

determine whether the child is supposed to inherit debugging
capabilities from the parent or not. This means that ocd_enable()
won't increment the refcount, because TIF_DEBUG is already set, and
that TIF_DEBUG will be set for processes that aren't being debugged.

Another possibility would be to remove the scope mangling based on
address. This will always be incomplete (are 127/8 the only address
space with host scope requirements?)
We set the scope to RT_SCOPE_HOST if an IPv4 interface is configured

[SPARC64]: Loosen checks in exception table handling.
Some parts of the kernel now do things like do *_user() accesses while
set_fs(KERNEL_DS) that fault on purpose.
See, for example, the code added by changeset
a0c1e9073ef7428a14309cba010633a6cd6719ea ("futex: runtime enable pi
and robust functionality").
That trips up the ASI sanity checking we make in do_kernel_fault().
Just remove it for now. Maybe we can add it back later with an added
conditional which looks at the current get_fs() value.

arch/sh/drivers/dma/dma-sh.c: Correct use of ! and &
In commit
e6bafba5b4765a5a252f1b8d31cbf6d2459da337, a bug was fixed that
involved converting !x & y to !(x & y). The code below shows the same
pattern, and thus should perhaps be fixed in the same way.
This is not tested and clearly changes the semantics, so it is only
something to consider.
The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

Notice how the TSC cap bit goes from Off to On.
(The first two lines are printout loops from -git7 forward-ported
to -git8, the third line is the same printout loop added just after
the xor-with-cleared_cpu_caps[] loop.)
Here's how the breakage occurs:
1. arch/x86/kernel/tsc_32.c:tsc_init() sees !cpu_has_tsc,
so bails and calls setup_clear_cpu_cap(X86_FEATURE_TSC).
2. include/asm-x86/cpufeature.h:setup_clear_cpu_cap(bit) clears
the bit in boot_cpu_data and sets it in cleared_cpu_caps
3. arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:identify_cpu() XORs all caps
in with cleared_cpu_caps
HOWEVER, at this point c->x86_capability correctly has TSC
Off, cleared_cpu_caps has TSC On, so the XOR incorrectly
sets TSC to On in c->x86_capability, with disastrous results.
The real bug is that clearing bits with XOR only works if the
bits are known to be 1 prior to the XOR, and that's not true here.
A simple fix is to convert the XOR to AND-NOT instead. The following
patch does that, and allows my 486 to boot 2.6.25-rc kernels again.

Currently, there is no way for print_stack_trace() to determine whether

to say, this makes the saved stack traces A LOT harder to read, and
probably with no other benefits, since debugging features that use

x86: fix vsyscall wreckage
based on a report from Arne Georg Gleditsch about user-space apps
misbehaving after toggling /proc/sys/kernel/vsyscall64, a review
of the code revealed that the "NOP patching" done there is
fundamentally unsafe for a number of reasons:
1) the patching code runs without synchronizing other CPUs
2) it inserts NOPs even if there is no clock source which provides vread
3) when the clock source changes to one without vread we run in
exactly the same problem as in #2
4) if nobody toggles the proc entry from 1 to 0 and to 1 again, then
the syscall is not patched out
as a result it is possible to break user-space via this patching.
The only safe thing for now is to remove the patching.
This code was broken since v2.6.21.

x86: rename KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE => KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE
The KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE constant was mis-named, as we not only map the kernel
text but data, bss and init sections as well.
That name led me on the wrong path with the KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE regression,
because i knew how big of _text_ my images have and i knew about the 40 MB
"text" limit so i wrongly thought to be on the safe side of the 40 MB limit
with my 29 MB of text, while the total image size was slightly above 40 MB.

x86: fix spontaneous reboot with allyesconfig bzImage
recently the 64-bit allyesconfig bzImage kernel started spontaneously
rebooting during early bootup.
after a few fun hours spent with early init debugging, it turns out
that we've got this rather annoying limit on the size of the kernel
image:
#define KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE (40*1024*1024)
which limit my vmlinux just happened to pass:
text data bss dec hex filename
29703744 4222751 8646224 42572719 2899baf vmlinux
40 MB is
42572719 bytes, so my vmlinux was just 1.5% above this limit :-/
So it happily crashed right in head_64.S, which - as we all know - is
the most debuggable code in the whole architecture ;-)
So increase the limit to allow an up to 128MB kernel image to be mapped.
(should anyone be that crazy or lazy)
We have a full 4K of pagetable (level2_kernel_pgt) allocated for these
mappings already, so there's no RAM overhead and the limit was rather
pointless and arbitrary.

x86: handle BIOSes which terminate e820 with CF=1 and no SMAP
The proper way to terminate the e820 chain is with %ebx == 0 on the
last legitimate memory block. However, several BIOSes don't do that
and instead return error (CF = 1) when trying to read off the end of
the list. For this error return, %eax doesn't necessarily return the
SMAP signature -- correctly so, since %ah should contain an error code
in this case.
To deal with some particularly broken BIOSes, we clear the entire e820
chain if the SMAP signature is missing in the middle, indicating a
plain insane e820 implementation. However, we need to make the test
for CF = 1 before the SMAP check.
This fixes at least one HP laptop (nc6400) for which none of the
memory-probing methods (e820, e801, 88) functioned fully according to
spec.

x86: don't use P6_NOPs if compiling with CONFIG_X86_GENERIC
P6_NOPs are definitely not supported on some VIA CPUs, and possibly
(unverified) on AMD K7s. It is also the only thing that prevents a
686 kernel from running on Transmeta TM3x00/5x00 (Crusoe) series.
The performance benefit over generic NOPs is very small, so when
building for generic consumption, avoid using them.

We have been promoting Transmeta TM3x00/TM5x00 chips to i686-class

x86/lguest: fix pgdir pmd index calculation
Hi all,
Beginning from commits close to v2.6.25-rc2, running lguest always oopses
the host kernel. Oops is at [1].
Bisection led to the following commit:
commit
37cc8d7f963ba2deec29c9b68716944516a3244f
x86/early_ioremap: don't assume we're using swapper_pg_dir
At the early stages of boot, before the kernel pagetable has been
fully initialized, a Xen kernel will still be running off the
Xen-provided pagetables rather than swapper_pg_dir[]. Therefore,
readback cr3 to determine the base of the pagetable rather than
assuming swapper_pg_dir[].
static inline pmd_t * __init early_ioremap_pmd(unsigned long addr)
{
- pgd_t *pgd = &swapper_pg_dir[pgd_index(addr)];
+ /* Don't assume we're using swapper_pg_dir at this point */
+ pgd_t *base = __va(read_cr3());
+ pgd_t *pgd = &base[pgd_index(addr)];
pud_t *pud = pud_offset(pgd, addr);
pmd_t *pmd = pmd_offset(pud, addr);
Trying to analyze the problem, it seems on the guest side of lguest,
%cr3 has a different value from &swapper_pg-dir (which
is AFAIK fine on a pravirt guest):
Putting some debugging messages in early_ioremap_pmd:
/* Appears 3 times */
[ 0.000000] ***************************
[ 0.000000] __va(%cr3) =
c0000000, &swapper_pg_dir =
c02cc000
[ 0.000000] ***************************
After 8 hours of debugging and staring on lguest code, I noticed something
strange in paravirt_ops->set_pmd hypercall invocation:
static void lguest_set_pmd(pmd_t *pmdp, pmd_t pmdval)
{
*pmdp = pmdval;
lazy_hcall(LHCALL_SET_PMD, __pa(pmdp)&PAGE_MASK,
(__pa(pmdp)&(PAGE_SIZE-1))/4, 0);
}
The first hcall parameter is global pgdir which looks fine. The second
parameter is the pmd index in the pgdir which is suspectful.
AFAIK, calculating the index of pmd does not need a divisoin over four.
Removing the division made lguest work fine again . Patch is at [2].
I am not sure why the division over four existed in the first place. It
seems bogus, maybe the Xen patch just made the problem appear ?
