42f142371e [SPARC64]: Respect gfp_t argument to dma_alloc_coherent().
Using asm-generic/dma-mapping.h does not work because pushing
the call down to pci_alloc_coherent() causes the gfp_t argument
of dma_alloc_coherent() to be ignored.

Fix this by implementing things directly, and adding a gfp_t
argument we can use in the internal call down to the PCI DMA
implementation of pci_alloc_coherent().

This fixes massive memory corruption when using the sound driver
layer, which passes things like __GFP_COMP down into these
routines and (correctly) expects that to work.

f41d5bb1d9 [NETFILTER]: SNMP NAT: fix memory corruption
Fix memory corruption caused by snmp_trap_decode:

- When snmp_trap_decode fails before the id and address are allocated,
  the pointers contain random memory, but are freed by the caller
  (snmp_parse_mangle).

- When snmp_trap_decode fails after allocating just the ID, it tries
  to free both address and ID, but the address pointer still contains
  random memory. The caller frees both ID and random memory again.

- When snmp_trap_decode fails after allocating both, it frees both,
  and the callers frees both again.

The corruption can be triggered remotely when the ip_nat_snmp_basic
module is loaded and traffic on port 161 or 162 is NATed.

Found by multiple testcases of the trap-app and trap-enc groups of the
PROTOS c06-snmpv1 testsuite.

  "Audio underruns galore, with only ogg123 and firefox (browsing the

e984bb43f7 [PATCH] Align the node_mem_map endpoints to a MAX_ORDER boundary
Andy added code to buddy allocator which does not require the zone's
endpoints to be aligned to MAX_ORDER.  An issue is that the buddy allocator
requires the node_mem_map's endpoints to be MAX_ORDER aligned.  Otherwise
__page_find_buddy could compute a buddy not in node_mem_map for partial
MAX_ORDER regions at zone's endpoints.  page_is_buddy will detect that
these pages at endpoints are not PG_buddy (they were zeroed out by bootmem
allocator and not part of zone).  Of course the negative here is we could
waste a little memory but the positive is eliminating all the old checks
for zone boundary conditions.

SPARSEMEM won't encounter this issue because of MAX_ORDER size constraint
when SPARSEMEM is configured.  ia64 VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP doesn't need the logic
either because the holes and endpoints are handled differently.  This
leaves checking alloc_remap and other arches which privately allocate for
node_mem_map.

92f63cd000 [PATCH] s390: next_timer_interrupt overflow in stop_hz_timer
The 32 bit unsigned substraction (next - jiffies) in stop_hz_timer can
overflow if jiffies gets advanced between next_timer_interrupt and the read
under the xtime lock.  The cast to a u64 then results in a large value
which causes the cpu to wait too long.  Fix this by casting next and
jiffies independently to u64 before subtracting them.

0662b71322 [PATCH] Fix a NO_IDLE_HZ timer bug
Under certain timing conditions, a race during boot occurs where timer
ticks are being processed on remote CPUs.  The remote timer ticks can
increment jiffies, and if this happens during a window when a timeout is
very close to expiring but a local tick has not yet been delivered, you can
end up with

1) No softirq pending
2) A local timer wheel which is not synced to jiffies
3) No high resolution timer active
4) A local timer which is supposed to fire before the current jiffies value.

In this circumstance, the comparison in next_timer_interrupt overflows,
because the base of the comparison for high resolution timers is jiffies,
but for the softirq timer wheel, it is relative the the current base of the
wheel (jiffies_base).

dc49e3445a [PATCH] kprobes: bad manipulation of 2 byte opcode on x86_64
Problem:

If we put a probe onto a callq instruction and the probe is executed,
kernel panic of Bad RIP value occurs.

Root cause:

If resume_execution() found 0xff at first byte of p->ainsn.insn, it must
check the _second_ byte.  But current resume_execution check _first_ byte
again.

I changed it checks second byte of p->ainsn.insn.

Kprobes on i386 don't have this problem, because the implementation is a
little bit different from x86_64.

be0d03f1c3 [PATCH] i386 kdump boot cpu physical apicid fix
o Kdump second kernel boot fails after a system crash if second kernel
  is UP and acpi=off and if crash occurred on a non-boot cpu.

o Issue here is that MP tables report boot cpu lapic id as 0 but second
  kernel is booting on a different processor and MP table data is stale
  in this context. Hence apic_id_registered() check fails in setup_local_APIC()
  when called from APIC_init_uniprocessor().

o Problem is not seen if ACPI is enabled as in that case
  boot_cpu_physical_apicid is read from the LAPIC.

o Problem is not seen with SMP kernels as well because in this case also
  boot_cpu_physical_apicid is read from LAPIC. (smp_boot_cpus()).

o The problem is fixed by reading boot_cpu_physical_apicid from LAPIC
  if it is a UP kernel and CRASH_DUMP is enabled.

92d1dbd274 [PATCH] cpuset: might_sleep_if check in cpuset_zones_allowed
It's too easy to incorrectly call cpuset_zone_allowed() in an atomic
context without __GFP_HARDWALL set, and when done, it is not noticed until
a tight memory situation forces allocations to be tried outside the current
cpuset.

Add a 'might_sleep_if()' check, to catch this earlier on, instead of
waiting for a similar check in the mutex_lock() code, which is only rarely
invoked.

36be57ffe3 [PATCH] cpuset: update cpuset_zones_allowed comment
Update the kernel/cpuset.c:cpuset_zone_allowed() comment.

The rule for when mm/page_alloc.c should call cpuset_zone_allowed()
was intended to be:

  Don't call cpuset_zone_allowed() if you can't sleep, unless you
  pass in the __GFP_HARDWALL flag set in gfp_flag, which disables
  the code that might scan up ancestor cpusets and sleep.

The explanation of this rule in the comment above cpuset_zone_allowed() was
stale, as a result of a restructuring of some __alloc_pages() code in
November 2005.

Rewrite that comment ...

bdd804f478 [PATCH] Cpuset: might sleep checking zones allowed fix
Fix a couple of infrequently encountered 'sleeping function called from
invalid context' in the cpuset hooks in __alloc_pages.  Could sleep while
interrupts disabled.

The routine cpuset_zone_allowed() is called by code in mm/page_alloc.c
__alloc_pages() to determine if a zone is allowed in the current tasks
cpuset.  This routine can sleep, for certain GFP_KERNEL allocations, if the
zone is on a memory node not allowed in the current cpuset, but might be
allowed in a parent cpuset.

But we can't sleep in __alloc_pages() if in interrupt, nor if called for a
GFP_ATOMIC request (__GFP_WAIT not set in gfp_flags).

The rule was intended to be:
  Don't call cpuset_zone_allowed() if you can't sleep, unless you
  pass in the __GFP_HARDWALL flag set in gfp_flag, which disables
  the code that might scan up ancestor cpusets and sleep.

This rule was being violated in a couple of places, due to a bogus change
made (by myself, pj) to __alloc_pages() as part of the November 2005 effort
to cleanup its logic, and also due to a later fix to constrain which swap
daemons were awoken.

The bogus change can be seen at:
  http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2005-11/4691.html
  [PATCH 01/05] mm fix __alloc_pages cpuset ALLOC_* flags

This was first noticed on a tight memory system, in code that was disabling
interrupts and doing allocation requests with __GFP_WAIT not set, which
resulted in __might_sleep() writing complaints to the log "Debug: sleeping
function called ...", when the code in cpuset_zone_allowed() tried to take
the callback_sem cpuset semaphore.

We haven't seen a system hang on this 'might_sleep' yet, but we are at
decent risk of seeing it fairly soon, especially since the additional
cpuset_zone_allowed() check was added, conditioning wakeup_kswapd(), in
March 2006.

Special thanks to Dave Chinner, for figuring this out, and a tip of the hat
to Nick Piggin who warned me of this back in Nov 2005, before I was ready
to listen.

593ee20766 [PATCH] pci: correctly allocate return buffers for osc calls
The OSC set and query functions do not allocate enough space for return
values, and set the output buffer length to a false, too large value.  This
causes the acpi-ca code to assume that the output buffer is larger than it
actually is, and overwrite memory when copying acpi return buffers into
this caller provided buffer.  In some cases this can cause kernel oops if
the memory that is overwritten is a pointer.  This patch will change these
calls to use a dynamically allocated output buffer, thus allowing the
acpi-ca code to decide how much space is needed.

While doing some inotify stress testing, I hit the following race.  In
inotify_release(), it's possible for a watch to be removed from the lists
in between dropping dev->mutex and taking inode->inotify_mutex.  The
reference we hold prevents the watch from being freed, but not from being
removed.

Checking the dev's idr mapping will prevent a double list_del of the
same watch.

12783b002d [PATCH] SPARSEMEM incorrectly calculates section number
A bad calculation/loop in __section_nr() could result in incorrect section
information being put into sysfs memory entries.  This primarily impacts
memory add operations as the sysfs information is used while onlining new
memory.

Fix suggested by Dave Hansen.

Note that the bug may not be obvious from the patch.  It actually occurs in
the function's return statement:

	return (root_nr * SECTIONS_PER_ROOT) + (ms - root);

In the existing code, root_nr has already been multiplied by
SECTIONS_PER_ROOT.

df88912a21 [PATCH] binfmt_flat: don't check for EMFILE
Bernd Schmidt points out that binfmt_flat is now leaving the exec file open
while the application runs.  This offsets all the application's fd numbers.
We should have closed the file within exec(), not at exit()-time.

But there doesn't seem to be a lot of point in doing all this just to avoid
going over RLIMIT_NOFILE by one fd for a few microseconds.  So take the EMFILE
checking out again.  This will cause binfmt_flat to again fail LTP's
exec-should-return-EMFILE-when-fdtable-is-full test.  That test appears to be
wrong anyway - Open Group specs say nothing about exec() returning EMFILE.
