2008-11-10math-emu: Fix signalling of underflow and inexact while packing result.Kumar Gala
[ Upstream commit 930cc144a043ff95e56b6888fa51c618b33f89e7 ] I'm trying to move the powerpc math-emu code to use the include/math-emu bits. In doing so I've been using TestFloat to see how good or bad we are doing. For the most part the current math-emu code that PPC uses has a number of issues that the code in include/math-emu seems to solve (plus bugs we've had for ever that no one every realized). Anyways, I've come across a case that we are flagging underflow and inexact because we think we have a denormalized result from a double precision divide: 000.FFFFFFFFFFFFF / 3FE.FFFFFFFFFFFFE soft: 001.0000000000000 ..... syst: 001.0000000000000 ...ux What it looks like is the results out of FP_DIV_D are: D: sign: 0 mantissa: 01000000 00000000 exp: -1023 (0) The problem seems like we aren't normalizing the result and bumping the exp. Now that I'm digging into this a bit I'm thinking my issue has to do with the fix DaveM put in place from back in Aug 2007 (commit 405849610fd96b4f34cd1875c4c033228fea6c0f): [MATH-EMU]: Fix underflow exception reporting. 2) we ended up rounding back up to normal (this is the case where we set the exponent to 1 and set the fraction to zero), this should set inexact too ... Another example, "0x0.0000000000001p-1022 / 16.0", should signal both inexact and underflow. The cpu implementations and ieee1754 literature is very clear about this. This is case #2 above. Here is the distilled glibc test case from Jakub Jelinek which prompted that commit: -------------------- #include <float.h> #include <fenv.h> #include <stdio.h> volatile double d = DBL_MIN; volatile double e = 0x0.0000000000001p-1022; volatile double f = 16.0; int main (void) { printf ("%x\n", fetestexcept (FE_UNDERFLOW)); d /= f; printf ("%x\n", fetestexcept (FE_UNDERFLOW)); e /= f; printf ("%x\n", fetestexcept (FE_UNDERFLOW)); return 0; } -------------------- It looks like the case I have we are exact before rounding, but think it looks like the rounding case since it appears as if "overflow is set". 000.FFFFFFFFFFFFF / 3FE.FFFFFFFFFFFFE = 001.0000000000000 I think the following adds the check for my case and still works for the issue your commit was trying to resolve.

2008-11-10net: Fix recursive descent in __scm_destroy().David Miller
commit f8d570a4745835f2238a33b537218a1bb03fc671 and 3b53fbf4314594fa04544b02b2fc6e607912da18 upstream (because once wasn't good enough...) __scm_destroy() walks the list of file descriptors in the scm_fp_list pointed to by the scm_cookie argument. Those, in turn, can close sockets and invoke __scm_destroy() again. There is nothing which limits how deeply this can occur. The idea for how to fix this is from Linus. Basically, we do all of the fput()s at the top level by collecting all of the scm_fp_list objects hit by an fput(). Inside of the initial __scm_destroy() we keep running the list until it is empty.

2008-10-22libata: LBA28/LBA48 off-by-one bug in ata.hTaisuke Yamada
commit 97b697a11b07e2ebfa69c488132596cc5eb24119 upstream I recently bought 3 HGST P7K500-series 500GB SATA drives and had trouble accessing the block right on the LBA28-LBA48 border. Here's how it fails (same for all 3 drives): # dd if=/dev/sdc bs=512 count=1 skip=268435455 > /dev/null dd: reading `/dev/sdc': Input/output error 0+0 records in 0+0 records out 0 bytes (0 B) copied, 0.288033 seconds, 0.0 kB/s # dmesg ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 ata1.00: BMDMA stat 0x25 ata1.00: cmd c8/00:08:f8:ff:ff/00:00:00:00:00/ef tag 0 dma 4096 in res 51/04:08:f8:ff:ff/00:00:00:00:00/ef Emask 0x1 (device error) ata1.00: status: { DRDY ERR } ata1.00: error: { ABRT } ata1.00: configured for UDMA/33 ata1: EH complete ... After some investigations, it turned out this seems to be caused by misinterpretation of the ATA specification on LBA28 access. Following part is the code in question: === include/linux/ata.h === static inline int lba_28_ok(u64 block, u32 n_block) { /* check the ending block number */ return ((block + n_block - 1) < ((u64)1 << 28)) && (n_block <= 256); } HGST drive (sometimes) fails with LBA28 access of {block = 0xfffffff, n_block = 1}, and this behavior seems to be comformant. Other drives, including other HGST drives are not that strict, through. >From the ATA specification: (http://www.t13.org/Documents/UploadedDocuments/project/d1410r3b-ATA-ATAPI-6.pdf) 8.15.29 Word (61:60): Total number of user addressable sectors This field contains a value that is one greater than the total number of user addressable sectors (see 6.2). The maximum value that shall be placed in this field is 0FFFFFFFh. So the driver shouldn't use the value of 0xfffffff for LBA28 request as this exceeds maximum user addressable sector. The logical maximum value for LBA28 is 0xffffffe. The obvious fix is to cut "- 1" part, and the patch attached just do that. I've been using the patched kernel for about a month now, and the same fix is also floating on the net for some time. So I believe this fix works reliably. Just FYI, many Windows/Intel platform users also seems to be struck by this, and HGST has issued a note pointing to Intel ICH8/9 driver. "28-bit LBA command is being used to access LBAs 29-bits in length" http://www.hitachigst.com/hddt/knowtree.nsf/cffe836ed7c12018862565b000530c74/b531b8bce8745fb78825740f00580e23 Also, *BSDs seems to have similar fix included sometime around ~2004, through I have not checked out exact portion of the code.

But GCC promotes "remaining" to unsigned in the test against sizeof(*nla) above. Therefore the test succeeds, and the nla_for_each_attr() may access memory outside the received buffer. A short example illustrating this point is here: #include <stdio.h> main(void) { printf("%d\n", -1 >= sizeof(int)); } ...which prints "1". This patch adds a cast in front of the sizeof so that GCC will make a signed comparison and fix the illegal memory dereference. With the patch applied, there is no kmemcheck report.

2008-10-08clockevents: prevent clockevent event_handler ending up handler_noopVenkatesh Pallipadi
commit 7c1e76897492d92b6a1c2d6892494d39ded9680c upstream There is a ordering related problem with clockevents code, due to which clockevents_register_device() called after tickless/highres switch will not work. The new clockevent ends up with clockevents_handle_noop as event handler, resulting in no timer activity. The problematic path seems to be * old device already has hrtimer_interrupt as the event_handler * new clockevent device registers with a higher rating * tick_check_new_device() is called * clockevents_exchange_device() gets called * old->event_handler is set to clockevents_handle_noop * tick_setup_device() is called for the new device * which sets new->event_handler using the old->event_handler which is noop. Change the ordering so that new device inherits the proper handler. This does not have any issue in normal case as most likely all the clockevent devices are setup before the highres switch. But, can potentially be affecting some corner case where HPET force detect happens after the highres switch. This was a problem with HPET in MSI mode code that we have been experimenting with.

2008-10-08mm: dirty page tracking race fixNick Piggin
commit 479db0bf408e65baa14d2a9821abfcbc0804b847 upstream There is a race with dirty page accounting where a page may not properly be accounted for. clear_page_dirty_for_io() calls page_mkclean; then TestClearPageDirty. page_mkclean walks the rmaps for that page, and for each one it cleans and write protects the pte if it was dirty. It uses page_check_address to find the pte. That function has a shortcut to avoid the ptl if the pte is not present. Unfortunately, the pte can be switched to not-present then back to present by other code while holding the page table lock -- this should not be a signal for page_mkclean to ignore that pte, because it may be dirty. For example, powerpc64's set_pte_at will clear a previously present pte before setting it to the desired value. There may also be other code in core mm or in arch which do similar things. The consequence of the bug is loss of data integrity due to msync, and loss of dirty page accounting accuracy. XIP's __xip_unmap could easily also be unreliable (depending on the exact XIP locking scheme), which can lead to data corruption. Fix this by having an option to always take ptl to check the pte in page_check_address. It's possible to retain this optimization for page_referenced and try_to_unmap.

commit 49048622eae698e5c4ae61f7e71200f265ccc529 upstream Spencer reported a problem where utime and stime were going negative despite the fixes in commit b27f03d4bdc145a09fb7b0c0e004b29f1ee555fa. The suspected reason for the problem is that signal_struct maintains it's own utime and stime (of exited tasks), these are not updated using the new task_utime() routine, hence sig->utime can go backwards and cause the same problem to occur (sig->utime, adds tsk->utime and not task_utime()). This patch fixes the problem TODO: using max(task->prev_utime, derived utime) works for now, but a more generic solution is to implement cputime_max() and use the cputime_gt() function for comparison.

What do you think? restore_fpu_checking() calls init_fpu() in error conditions. While this is wrong(as our main intention is to clear the fpu state of the thread), this was benign before commit 92d140e21f1 ("x86: fix taking DNA during 64bit sigreturn"). Post commit 92d140e21f1, live FPU registers may not belong to this process at this error scenario. In the error condition for restore_fpu_checking() (especially during the 64bit signal return), we are doing init_fpu(), which saves the live FPU register state (possibly belonging to some other process context) into the thread struct (through unlazy_fpu() in init_fpu()). This is wrong and can leak the FPU data. For the signal handler restore error condition in restore_i387(), clear the fpu state present in the thread struct(before ultimately sending a SIGSEGV for badframe). For the paranoid error condition check in math_state_restore(), send a SIGSEGV, if we fail to restore the state.

[ Upstream commit b30f3ae50cd03ef2ff433a5030fbf88dd8323528] Suresh Siddha wants to fix a possible FPU leakage in error conditions, but the fact that save/restore_i387() are inlines in a header file makes that harder to do than necessary. So start off with an obvious cleanup. This just moves the x86-64 version of save/restore_i387() out of the header file, and moves it to the only file that it is actually used in: arch/x86/kernel/signal_64.c. So exposing it in a header file was wrong to begin with. [ Side note: I'd like to fix up some of the games we play with the 32-bit version of these functions too, but that's a separate matter.

2008-10-08mm: mark the correct zone as full when scanning zonelistsMel Gorman
commit 5bead2a0680687b9576d57c177988e8aa082b922 upstream The iterator for_each_zone_zonelist() uses a struct zoneref *z cursor when scanning zonelists to keep track of where in the zonelist it is. The zoneref that is returned corresponds to the the next zone that is to be scanned, not the current one. It was intended to be treated as an opaque list. When the page allocator is scanning a zonelist, it marks elements in the zonelist corresponding to zones that are temporarily full. As the zonelist is being updated, it uses the cursor here; if (NUMA_BUILD) zlc_mark_zone_full(zonelist, z); This is intended to prevent rescanning in the near future but the zoneref cursor does not correspond to the zone that has been found to be full. This is an easy misunderstanding to make so this patch corrects the problem by changing zoneref cursor to be the current zone being scanned instead of the next one.

Nothing originally in linux/mroute.h was exported to userspace ever, but some of this stuff started to be when it was moved into this new linux/pim.h, and that was wrong. If we didn't provide these definitions for 10 years we can reasonable expect that applications defined this stuff locally or used GLIBC headers providing the protocol definitions. And as such the only result of this can be conflict and userland build breakage. The commit #1 had such a short and terse commit message, that we cannot even know why such a move and set of new userland exports were even made. Signed-off-by: David S.

Suresh wrote: These padlock instructions though don't use/touch SSE registers, but it behaves similar to other SSE instructions. For example, it might cause DNA faults when cr0.ts is set. While this is a spurious DNA trap, it might cause oops with the recent fpu code changes. This is the code sequence that is probably causing this problem: a) new app is getting exec'd and it is somewhere in between start_thread() and flush_old_exec() in the load_xyz_binary() b) At pont "a", task's fpu state (like TS_USEDFPU, used_math() etc) is cleared. c) Now we get an interrupt/softirq which starts using these encrypt/decrypt routines in the network stack. This generates a math fault (as cr0.ts is '1') which sets TS_USEDFPU and restores the math that is in the task's xstate. d) Return to exec code path, which does start_thread() which does free_thread_xstate() and sets xstate pointer to NULL while the TS_USEDFPU is still set. e) At the next context switch from the new exec'd task to another task, we have a scenarios where TS_USEDFPU is set but xstate pointer is null. This can cause an oops during unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to() Now: 1) This should happen with or with out pre-emption. Viro also encountered similar problem with out CONFIG_PREEMPT. 2) kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end() will fix this problem, because kernel_fpu_begin() will manually do a clts() and won't run in to the situation of setting TS_USEDFPU in step "c" above. 3) This was working before the fpu changes, because its a spurious math fault which doesn't corrupt any fpu/sse registers and the task's math state was always in an allocated state. With out the recent lazy fpu allocation changes, while we don't see oops, there is a possible race still present in older kernels(for example, while kernel is using kernel_fpu_begin() in some optimized clear/copy page and an interrupt/softirq happens which uses these padlock instructions generating DNA fault). This is the failing scenario that existed even before the lazy fpu allocation changes: 0. CPU's TS flag is set 1. kernel using FPU in some optimized copy routine and while doing kernel_fpu_begin() takes an interrupt just before doing clts() 2. Takes an interrupt and ipsec uses padlock instruction. And we take a DNA fault as TS flag is still set. 3. We handle the DNA fault and set TS_USEDFPU and clear cr0.ts 4. We complete the padlock routine 5. Go back to step-1, which resumes clts() in kernel_fpu_begin(), finishes the optimized copy routine and does kernel_fpu_end(). At this point, we have cr0.ts again set to '1' but the task's TS_USEFPU is stilll set and not cleared. 6. Now kernel resumes its user operation. And at the next context switch, kernel sees it has do a FP save as TS_USEDFPU is still set and then will do a unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to(). unlazy_fpu() will take a DNA fault, as cr0.ts is '1' and now, because we are in __switch_to(), math_state_restore() will get confused and will restore the next task's FP state and will save it in prev tasks's FP state. Remember, in __switch_to() we are already on the stack of the next task but take a DNA fault for the prev task. This causes the fpu leakage. Fix the padlock instruction usage by calling them inside the context of new routines irq_ts_save/restore(), which clear/restore cr0.ts manually in the interrupt context. This will not generate spurious DNA in the context of the interrupt which will fix the oops encountered and the possible FPU leakage issue.

2008-08-20radeon: misc correctionsDavid Miller
Commit efc491814308f89d5ef6c4fe19ae4552a67d4132 upstream radeon: misc corrections I have a new PCI-E radeon RV380 series card (PCI device ID 5b64) that hangs in my sparc64 boxes when the init scripts set the font. The problem goes away if I disable acceleration. I haven't figured out that bug yet, but along the way I found some corrections to make based upon some auditing. 1) The RB2D_DC_FLUSH_ALL value used by the kernel fb driver and the XORG video driver differ. I've made the kernel match what XORG is using. 2) In radeonfb_engine_reset() we have top-level code structure that roughly looks like: if (family is 300, 350, or V350) do this; else do that; ... if (family is NOT 300, OR family is NOT 350, OR family is NOT V350) do another thing; this last conditional makes no sense, is always true, and obviously was likely meant to be "family is NOT 300, 350, or V350". So I've made the code match the intent. Signed-off-by: David S.

[ Upstream commit d72609e17fd93bb2f7e0f7e1bdc70b6d20e43843 ] Correct sparc64's implementation of FUTEX_OP_ANDN to do a bitwise negate of the oparg parameter before applying the AND operation. All other archs that support FUTEX_OP_ANDN either negate oparg explicitly (frv, ia64, mips, sh, x86), or do so indirectly by using an and-not instruction (powerpc). Since sparc64 has and-not, I chose to use that solution. I've not found any use of FUTEX_OP_ANDN in glibc so the impact of this bug is probably minor.

2008-08-20radeonfb: fix accel engine hangsDavid Miller
commit 969830b2fedf8336c41d6195f49d250b1e166ff8 upstream Some chips appear to have the 2D engine hang during screen redraw, typically in a sequence of copyarea operations. This appear to be solved by adding a flush of the engine destination pixel cache and waiting for the engine to be idle before issuing the accel operation. The performance impact seems to be fairly small. Here is a trace on an RV370 (PCI device ID 0x5b64), it records the RBBM_STATUS register, then the source x/y, destination x/y, and width/height used for the copy: ---------------------------------------- radeonfb_prim_copyarea: STATUS[00000140] src[210:70] dst[210:60] wh[a0:10] radeonfb_prim_copyarea: STATUS[00000140] src[2b8:70] dst[2b8:60] wh[88:10] radeonfb_prim_copyarea: STATUS[00000140] src[348:70] dst[348:60] wh[40:10] radeonfb_prim_copyarea: STATUS[80020140] src[390:70] dst[390:60] wh[88:10] radeonfb_prim_copyarea: STATUS[8002613f] src[40:80] dst[40:70] wh[28:10] radeonfb_prim_copyarea: STATUS[80026139] src[a8:80] dst[a8:70] wh[38:10] radeonfb_prim_copyarea: STATUS[80026133] src[e8:80] dst[e8:70] wh[80:10] radeonfb_prim_copyarea: STATUS[8002612d] src[170:80] dst[170:70] wh[30:10] radeonfb_prim_copyarea: STATUS[80026127] src[1a8:80] dst[1a8:70] wh[8:10] radeonfb_prim_copyarea: STATUS[80026121] src[1b8:80] dst[1b8:70] wh[88:10] radeonfb_prim_copyarea: STATUS[8002611b] src[248:80] dst[248:70] wh[68:10] ---------------------------------------- When things are going fine the copies complete before the next ROP is even issued, but all of a sudden the 2D unit becomes active (bit 17 in RBBM_STATUS) and the FIFO retry (bit 13) and FIFO pipeline busy (bit 14) are set as well. The FIFO begins to backup until it becomes full. What happens next is the radeon_fifo_wait() times out, and we access the chip illegally leading to a bus error which usually wedges the box. None of this makes it to the console screen, of course :-) radeon_fifo_wait() should be modified to reset the accelerator when this timeout happens instead of programming the chip anyways. ---------------------------------------- radeonfb: FIFO Timeout !

This will only happen if you 1) VC switch or 2) run "consolechars" or 3) unblank the screen. This seems to happen because until a redraw_screen() the screen scrolling method used by fbcon is not finalized yet. I've seen this with other fb drivers too. So if all you do is boot straight into X you will never see this bug on the relevant chips. Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-07-08ide: add __ide_default_irq() inline helperBartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz
Add __ide_default_irq() inline helper and use it instead of ide_default_irq() in ide-probe.c and ns87415.c (all host drivers except IDE PCI ones always setup hwif->irq so it is enough to check only for I/O bases 0x1f0 and 0x170). This fixes post-2.6.25 regression since ide_default_irq() define could shadow ide_default_irq() inline. Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com>

2008-07-08Correct hash flushing from huge_ptep_set_wrprotect()David Gibson
As Andy Whitcroft recently pointed out, the current powerpc version of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() has a bug. It just calls ptep_set_wrprotect() which in turn calls pte_update() then hpte_need_flush() with the 'huge' argument set to 0. This will cause hpte_need_flush() to flush the wrong hash entries (of any). Andy's fix for this is already in the powerpc tree as commit 016b33c4958681c24056abed8ec95844a0da80a3. I have confirmed this is a real bug, not masked by some other synchronization, with a new testcase for libhugetlbfs. A process write a (MAP_PRIVATE) hugepage mapping, fork(), then alter the mapping and have the child incorrectly see the second write. Therefore, this should be fixed for 2.6.26, and for the stable tree. Here is a suitable patch for 2.6.26, which I think will also be suitable for the stable tree (neither of the headers in question has been changed much recently). It is cut down slighlty from Andy's original version, in that it does not include a 32-bit version of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect(). Currently, hugepages are not supported on any 32-bit powerpc platform. When they are, a suitable 32-bit version can be added - the only 32-bit hardware which supports hugepages does not use the conventional hashtable MMU and so will have different needs anyway.

2008-07-05Move _RET_IP_ and _THIS_IP_ to include/linux/kernel.hEduard - Gabriel Munteanu
These two macros are useful beyond lock debugging. Moved definitions from include/linux/debug_locks.h to include/linux/kernel.h, so code that needs them does not have to include the former, which would have been a less intuitive choice of a header.

2008-07-04cpumask: introduce new APIsStephen Rothwell
In linux-next there is a commit ("x86: Add performance variants of cpumask operators") which, as part of the 4096 cpu support work adds some new APIs for dealing with cpu masks. Add trivial versions of these now so that subsystems can update in a timely manner and avoid conflicts in linux-next and the next merge window.
