The current generic bug implementation has a call to dump_stack() in case a
WARN_ON(whatever) gets hit. Since report_bug(), which calls dump_stack(),
gets called from an exception handler we can do better: just pass the
pt_regs structure to report_bug() and pass it to show_regs() in case of a
warning. This will give more debug informations like register contents,
etc... In addition this avoids some pointless lines that dump_stack()
emits, since it includes a stack backtrace of the exception handler which
is of no interest in case of a warning. E.g. on s390 the following lines
are currently always present in a stack backtrace if dump_stack() gets
called from report_bug():
[<000000000001517a>] show_trace+0x92/0xe8)
[<0000000000015270>] show_stack+0xa0/0xd0

OpenVZ Linux kernel team has discovered the problem with 32bit quota tools
working on 64bit architectures. In 2.6.10 kernel sys32_quotactl() function
was replaced by sys_quotactl() with the comment "sys_quotactl seems to be
32/64bit clean, enable it for 32bit" However this isn't right. Look at
if_dqblk structure:
struct if_dqblk {
__u64 dqb_bhardlimit;
__u64 dqb_bsoftlimit;
__u64 dqb_curspace;
__u64 dqb_ihardlimit;
__u64 dqb_isoftlimit;
__u64 dqb_curinodes;
__u64 dqb_btime;
__u64 dqb_itime;
__u32 dqb_valid;
};
For 32 bit quota tools sizeof(if_dqblk) == 0x44.
But for 64 bit kernel its size is 0x48, 'cause of alignment!
Thus we got a problem. Attached patch reintroduce sys32_quotactl() function,
that handles this and related situations.

Force irq migration path during cpu offline, is not using proper locks and
irq_chip mask/unmask routines. This will result in some races(especially
the device generating the interrupt can see some inconsistent state,
resulting in issues like stuck irq,..).
Appended patch fixes the issue by taking proper lock and encapsulating
irq_chip set_affinity() with a mask() before and an unmask() after.
This fixes a MSI irq stuck issue reported by Darrick Wong.
There are several more general bugs in this area(irq migration in the
process context). For example,
1. Possibility of missing edge triggered irq.
2. Reliable method of migrating level triggered irq in the process context.
We plan to look and close these in the near future.
Eric says:
In addition even with the fix from Suresh there is still at least one
nasty hardware race in fixup_irqs(). However we exercise that code
path rarely enough that we are unlikely to hit it in the real world,
and that race seems to have existed since the code was merged. And a
fix for that is not coming soon as it is an open investigation area
if we can fix irq migration to work outside of irq context or if
we have to rework the requirements imposed by the generic cpu hotplug
and layer on fixup_irqs(). So this may come up again.

Background:
When a userspace application wants to know about machine check events, it
opens /dev/mcelog and does a read(). Usually, we found that this interface
works well, but in some cases, when the system was taking large numbers of
machine check exceptions, the read() would hang. The system would output a
soft-lockup warning, and the daemon reading from /dev/mcelog would suck up
as much of a single CPU as it could spinning in system space.
Description:
This patch fixes this bug. In particular, there was a "continue" inside a
timeout loop that presumably was intended to break out of the outer loop,
but instead caused the inner loop to continue. This patch also makes the
condition for the break-out a little more evident by changing a
!time_before to a time_after_eq.
Result:
The read() no longer hangs in this test case.
Testing:
On my system, I could replicate the bug with the following command:
# for i in `seq 15000`; do ./inject_sbe.sh; done
where inject_sbe.sh contains commands to inject a single-bit error into the
next memory write transaction.

We aren't sampling for holes in memory. Thus we encounter a section hole
with empty section map pointer for SPARSEMEM and OOPs for show_mem. This
issue has been seen in 2.6.21, current git and current mm. The patch below
is for mainline and mm. It was boot tested for SPARSEMEM, current VMEMMAP
of Andy's in mm ml and DISCONTIGMEM. A slightly different patch will be
posted to stable for 2.6.21.
Previous to commit f0a5a58aa8 memory_present
was called for node_start_pfn to node_end_pfn. This would cover the
hole(s) with reserved pages and valid sections. Most SPARSEMEM supported
arches do a pfn_valid check in show_mem before computing the page structure
address.
This issue was brought to my attention on IRC by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

This is a minor fix, but what is currently there is essentially wrong.
In do_page_fault, if the faulting address from user code happens to be
in kernel address space (int *p = (int*)-1; p = 0xbed;) then the
do_page_fault handler will jump over the local_irq_enable with the
goto bad_area_nosemaphore;
But the first line there sees this is user code and goes through the
process of sending a signal to send SIGSEGV to the user task. This whole
time interrupts are disabled and the task can not be preempted by a
higher priority task.
This patch always enables interrupts in the user path of the
bad_area_nosemaphore.

The vsyscall time() function basically returns the second portion of
xtime directly. This however means that there is about a ticks worth of
time each second where time() will return a second value less then what
gettimeofday() does.
Additionally, this window where vtime() is behind vgettimeofday() grows
when dynticks is enabled, so its probably good to get this in before
dynticks lands.
Big thanks to Sripathi for noticing this issue and creating a test case
to work with!
This patch changes the vtime() implemenation to call vgettimeofday(),
much as syscall time() implementation calls gettimeofday().

First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.
This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
getting them indirectly
Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

Fix trivial comment conflict in kernel/relay.c.
Recently a few direct accesses to the thread_info in the task structure snuck
back, so this wraps them with the appropriate wrapper.

Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been
frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need
special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware
subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events
related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This
patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during
suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the
CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration
(for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal"
ones).
