We have a race between fcntl() and close() that can lead to
dnotify_struct inserted into inode's list *after* the last descriptor
had been gone from current->files.
Since that's the only point where dnotify_struct gets evicted, we are
screwed - it will stick around indefinitely. Even after struct file in
question is gone and freed. Worse, we can trigger send_sigio() on it at
any later point, which allows to send an arbitrary signal to arbitrary
process if we manage to apply enough memory pressure to get the page
that used to host that struct file and fill it with the right pattern...

So Ingo finally did figure out why UML broke with this option: UML
passes gcc the -fno-unit-at-a-time flag, and apparently that wreaks
havoc with gcc's inlining.
We could turn off -fno-unit-at-a-time for UML for gcc4+ (which is what
x86 does), but there's bad blood about this whole option, and it does
show that the thing is just fragile as heck.
So let tempers cool, and disable the thing, and we can revisit the
decision later.

sysfs allows attribute files to be truncated, e.g. using ftruncate(), with the
expected effect on their inode. For most attributes, this doesn't change the
"real" size of the file i.e. how much can be read from it. However, the
parameter validation for reading and writing binary attribute files is based
on the inode size and not the size specified in the file's bin_attribute, so it
can be broken by this. For example, if we try using dd to write to such a file:
# pwd
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:08:00.0
# ls -l config
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Feb 1 17:35 config
# dd if=/dev/zero of=config bs=4 count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
# ls -l config
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 1 17:50 config
# dd if=/dev/zero of=config bs=4 count=1 seek=128
dd: writing `config': No space left on device
1+0 records in
0+0 records out
Also, after truncation to 0, parameter validation for read and write is
disabled. Most bin_attribute read and write methods also validate the size and
offset, but for some this will allow out-of-range access. This may be a
security issue, though access to such files is often limited to root. In any
case, the validation should remain for safety's sake!)
This was previously reported in Bugzilla as bug 9867.
sysfs should ignore size changes or else refuse them (by returning -EINVAL).
This patch makes it ignore them.

bdd3cee2e4 (x86: ioremap(), extend check
to all RAM pages) breaks OLPC's ioremap call. The ioremap that OLPC uses is:
romsig = ioremap(0xffffffc0, 16);
The commit that breaks it is basically:
- for (pfn = phys_addr >> PAGE_SHIFT; pfn < max_pfn_mapped &&
- (pfn << PAGE_SHIFT) < last_addr; pfn++) {
+ for (pfn = phys_addr >> PAGE_SHIFT;
+ (pfn << PAGE_SHIFT) < last_addr; pfn++) {
+
Previously, the 'pfn < max_pfn_mapped' check would've caused us to not
enter the loop. Removing that check means we loop infinitely. The
reason for that is because pfn is 0xfffff, and last_addr is 0xffffffcf.
The remaining check that is used to exit the loop is not sufficient;
when pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT is 0xfffff000, that is less than 0xffffffcf; when
we increment pfn and it overflows (pfn == 0x100000), pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT
ends up being 0. That, of course, is less than last_addr. In effect,
pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT is never lower than last_addr.
The simple fix for this is to limit the last_addr check to the PAGE_MASK;
a patch is below.

Since recent smpboot 32/64-bit merge, my dual Xeon with HT has been
booting only 2 of its 4 cpus (when running an i386 kernel; but x86_64
is okay). J.A. Magallón reports the same.
native_cpu_up: bad cpu 2
native_cpu_up: bad cpu 3
The mach-default cpu_present_to_apicid() was just returning cpu number
(2, 3) instead of apicid (6, 7): looks like we now need the x86_64 code
even for the i386 case.
Comparing with other versions of cpu_present_to_apicid(), it seems a
good idea to include an NR_CPUS test too, since cpu_present() doesn't
include that; but that wasn't a problem here, and may no problem at all.
Prior to that smpboot merge, my Xeon booted the two HT siblings on one
physical first, then the two siblings on the other physical after - when
i386, but alternated them when x86_64. Since the merge, the x86_64
sequence is unchanged, but the i386 sequence is now like x86_64.
I prefer this consistency, and I prefer the new sequence: booting with
maxcpus=2 then uses the independent physicals without HT sharing.

Use UC_MINUS for ioremap(), ioremap_nocache() instead of strong UC.
Once all the X drivers move to ioremap_wc(), we can go back to strong
UC semantics for ioremap() and ioremap_nocache().
To avoid attribute aliasing issues, pci_mmap_page_range() will also
use UC_MINUS for default non write-combining mapping request.
Next steps:
a) change all the video drivers using ioremap() or ioremap_nocache()
and adding WC MTTR using mttr_add() to ioremap_wc()
b) for strict usage, we can go back to strong uc semantics
for ioremap() and ioremap_nocache() after some grace period for
completing step-a.
c) user level X server needs to use the appropriate method for setting
up WC mapping (like using resourceX_wc sysfs file instead of
adding MTRR for WC and using /dev/mem or resourceX under /sys)

Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> reported:
In 2.6.23, if you unpacked a kernel source tarball and then
ran "make menuconfig" you'd be presented with this message:
# using defaults found in arch/i386/defconfig
and the default options would be set.
The same thing in 2.6.24 does not give you any "using defaults" message, and
the default config options within menuconfig are rather blank (e.g. no PCI
support). You can work around this by explicitly running "make defconfig"
before menuconfig, but it would be nice to have the behaviour the way it was
for 2.6.23 (and the way it still is for other archs).
Fixed by adding a x86 specific defconfig list to Kconfig.
