ff9cf2ce7a rcu: fixes to include/linux/rcupreempt.h
Hello!

Compared tip/core/rcu to my latest patchset, and found the following
issues:

o	the memory barrier in rcu_exit_nohz() somehow got out of place
	(it is correct in mainline as of 2.6.26-rc7).

o	There is a duplicate declaration of rcu_dyntick_sched.

The attached patch fixes these.

466ae83742 reduce tlb/cache flush times of agpgart memory allocation
To reduce tlb/cache flush, makes agp memory allocation do one flush
after all pages in a region are changed to uc.

All agp drivers except agp-sgi uses agp_generic_alloc_page()
for .agp_alloc_page, so the patch should work for them. agp-sgi is only
for ia64, so not a problem too.

Starting with 2.6.27-rc1 readb() et al are generated by a
build_mmio_read() macro, which generates asm() statements with
output register constraints like "=" "q", i.e. as two adjacent
string literals. This doesn't work with gcc-3.2.3.

Fixed by moving the "=" part into the callers' reg parameter
(as suggested by Ingo).

Build and boot-tested with gcc-3.2.3 on 32 and 64-bit x86.

394a15051c x86: invalidate caches before going into suspend
When a CPU core is shut down, all of its caches need to be flushed
to prevent stale data from causing errors if the core is resumed.
Current Linux suspend code performs an assignment after the flush,
which can add dirty data back to the cache.  On some AMD platforms,
additional speculative reads have caused crashes on resume because
of this dirty data.

Relocate the cache flush to be the very last thing done before
halting.  Tie into an assembly line so the compile will not
reorder it.  Add some documentation explaining what is going
on and why we're doing this.

Commit 8ab19ea36c ("ipvs: Fix possible deadlock

happen during unload of IPVS, because during normal operation there is at least
our global stats structure in the estimator list. The mod_timer() and
del_timer_sync() calls are actually initialization and cleanup code in
disguise. Let's make it explicit and move them to their own init and cleanup
function.

5cd9c58fbe security: Fix setting of PF_SUPERPRIV by __capable()
Fix the setting of PF_SUPERPRIV by __capable() as it could corrupt the flags
the target process if that is not the current process and it is trying to
change its own flags in a different way at the same time.

__capable() is using neither atomic ops nor locking to protect t->flags.  This
patch removes __capable() and introduces has_capability() that doesn't set
PF_SUPERPRIV on the process being queried.

This patch further splits security_ptrace() in two:

 (1) security_ptrace_may_access().  This passes judgement on whether one
     process may access another only (PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH for ptrace() and
     PTRACE_MODE_READ for /proc), and takes a pointer to the child process.
     current is the parent.

 (2) security_ptrace_traceme().  This passes judgement on PTRACE_TRACEME only,
     and takes only a pointer to the parent process.  current is the child.

     In Smack and commoncap, this uses has_capability() to determine whether
     the parent will be permitted to use PTRACE_ATTACH if normal checks fail.
     This does not set PF_SUPERPRIV.

Two of the instances of __capable() actually only act on current, and so have
been changed to calls to capable().

Of the places that were using __capable():

 (1) The OOM killer calls __capable() thrice when weighing the killability of a
     process.  All of these now use has_capability().

 (2) cap_ptrace() and smack_ptrace() were using __capable() to check to see
     whether the parent was allowed to trace any process.  As mentioned above,
     these have been split.  For PTRACE_ATTACH and /proc, capable() is now
     used, and for PTRACE_TRACEME, has_capability() is used.

 (3) cap_safe_nice() only ever saw current, so now uses capable().

 (4) smack_setprocattr() rejected accesses to tasks other than current just
     after calling __capable(), so the order of these two tests have been
     switched and capable() is used instead.

 (5) In smack_file_send_sigiotask(), we need to allow privileged processes to
     receive SIGIO on files they're manipulating.

 (6) In smack_task_wait(), we let a process wait for a privileged process,
     whether or not the process doing the waiting is privileged.

I've tested this with the LTP SELinux and syscalls testscripts.

9e2b2dc413 CRED: Introduce credential access wrappers
The patches that are intended to introduce copy-on-write credentials for 2.6.28
require abstraction of access to some fields of the task structure,
particularly for the case of one task accessing another's credentials where RCU
will have to be observed.

Introduced here are trivial no-op versions of the desired accessors for current
and other tasks so that other subsystems can start to be converted over more
easily.

Wrappers are introduced into a new header (linux/cred.h) for UID/GID,
EUID/EGID, SUID/SGID, FSUID/FSGID, cap_effective and current's subscribed
user_struct.  These wrappers are macros because the ordering between header
files mitigates against making them inline functions.

linux/cred.h is #included from linux/sched.h.

Further, XFS is modified such that it no longer defines and uses parameterised
versions of current_fs[ug]id(), thus getting rid of the namespace collision
otherwise incurred.

24b8b44780 svcrdma: Fix race between svc_rdma_recvfrom thread and the dto_tasklet
RDMA_READ completions are kept on a separate queue from the general
I/O request queue. Since a separate lock is used to protect the RDMA_READ
completion queue, a race exists between the dto_tasklet and the
svc_rdma_recvfrom thread where the dto_tasklet sets the XPT_DATA
bit and adds I/O to the read-completion queue. Concurrently, the
recvfrom thread checks the generic queue, finds it empty and resets
the XPT_DATA bit. A subsequent svc_xprt_enqueue will fail to enqueue
the transport for I/O and cause the transport to "stall".

The fix is to protect both lists with the same lock and set the XPT_DATA
bit with this lock held.

 =======================

Wolfgang also found out that adding kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end()
around the padlock instructions fix the oops.

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.

Introduced snd_BUG_ON() macro as a replacement of snd_assert() macro.
snd_assert() is pretty ugly as it has the control flow in its argument.
OTOH, snd_BUG_ON() behaves like a normal conditional, thus it's much

83f36f3f35 pkt_sched: Add queue stopped test back to qdisc_run().
Based upon a bug report by Andrew Gallatin on netdev
with subject "CPU utilization increased in 2.6.27rc"

In commit 37437bb2e1
("pkt_sched: Schedule qdiscs instead of netdev_queue.")
the test of the queue being stopped was erroneously
removed from qdisc_run().

When the TX queue of the device fills up, this omission
causes lots of extraneous useless work to be queued up
to softirq context, where we'll just return immediately
because the device is still stuffed up.
