* | moduleparam: fix alpha, ia64 and ppc64 compile failuresIvan Kokshaysky2008-02-141-1/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On alpha, ia64 and ppc64 only relocations to local data can go into read-only sections. The vast majority of module parameters use the global generic param_set_*/param_get_* functions, so the 'const' attribute for struct kernel_param is not only useless, but it also causes compile failures due to 'section type conflict' in those rare cases where param_set/get are local functions.

I have confirmation that the Alpha bit results in a booting kernel. That leaves: blackfin, frv, sh and sparc untested. The deadlock in question was found by Russell: IRQ handle -> timer_tick() - xtime seqlock held for write -> update_process_times() -> run_local_timers() -> hrtimer_run_queues() -> hrtimer_get_softirq_time() - tries to get a read lock Now, Thomas assures me the fix is trivial, only do_timer() needs to be done under the xtime_lock, and update_process_times() can savely be removed from under it.

* | acpi: fix acpi_os_read_pci_configuration() misuse of raw_pci_read()Linus Torvalds2008-02-132-9/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The raw_pci_read() interface (as the raw_pci_ops->read() before it) unconditionally fills in a 32-bit integer return value regardless of the size of the operation requested. So claiming to take a "void *" is wrong, as is passing in a pointer to just a byte variable. Noticed by pageexec when enabling -fstack-protector (which needs other patches too to actually work, but that's a separate issue).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Steven mentioned the fun case where a lock holding task will be throttled. Simple fix: allow groups that have boosted tasks to run anyway. If a runnable task in a throttled group gets boosted the dequeue/enqueue done by rt_mutex_setprio() is enough to unthrottle the group. This is ofcourse not quite correct. Two possible ways forward are: - second prio array for boosted tasks - boost to a prio ceiling (this would also work for deadline scheduling) Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Therefore, readback cr3 to determine the base of the pagetable rather than assuming swapper_pg_dir[].

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Even if we don't want to register the WMI driver, we should initialize the wmi_blocks list to be empty, since we don't want the wmi helper functions to oops just because that basic list has not even been set up. With this, "find_guid()" will happily return "not found" rather than oopsing all over the place, and the callers will then just automatically return false or AE_NOT_FOUND as appropriate.

* | mempolicy: silently restrict nodemask to allowed nodesKOSAKI Motohiro2008-02-122-28/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Kosaki Motohito noted that "numactl --interleave=all ..." failed in the presence of memoryless nodes. This patch attempts to fix that problem. Some background: numactl --interleave=all calls set_mempolicy(2) with a fully populated [out to MAXNUMNODES] nodemask. set_mempolicy() [in do_set_mempolicy()] calls contextualize_policy() which requires that the nodemask be a subset of the current task's mems_allowed; else EINVAL will be returned. A task's mems_allowed will always be a subset of node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] i.e., nodes with memory. So, a fully populated nodemask will be declared invalid if it includes memoryless nodes. NOTE: the same thing will occur when running in a cpuset with restricted mem_allowed--for the same reason: node mask contains dis-allowed nodes. mbind(2), on the other hand, just masks off any nodes in the nodemask that are not included in the caller's mems_allowed. In each case [mbind() and set_mempolicy()], mpol_check_policy() will complain [again, resulting in EINVAL] if the nodemask contains any memoryless nodes. This is somewhat redundant as mpol_new() will remove memoryless nodes for interleave policy, as will bind_zonelist()--called by mpol_new() for BIND policy. Proposed fix: 1) modify contextualize_policy logic to: a) remember whether the incoming node mask is empty. b) if not, restrict the nodemask to allowed nodes, as is currently done in-line for mbind(). This guarantees that the resulting mask includes only nodes with memory. NOTE: this is a [benign, IMO] change in behavior for set_mempolicy(). Dis-allowed nodes will be silently ignored, rather than returning an error. c) fold this code into mpol_check_policy(), replace 2 calls to contextualize_policy() to call mpol_check_policy() directly and remove contextualize_policy(). 2) In existing mpol_check_policy() logic, after "contextualization": a) MPOL_DEFAULT: require that in coming mask "was_empty" b) MPOL_{BIND|INTERLEAVE}: require that contextualized nodemask contains at least one node. c) add a case for MPOL_PREFERRED: if in coming was not empty and resulting mask IS empty, user specified invalid nodes. Return EINVAL. c) remove the now redundant check for memoryless nodes 3) remove the now redundant masking of policy nodes for interleave policy from mpol_new(). 4) Now that mpol_check_policy() contextualizes the nodemask, remove the in-line nodes_and() from sys_mbind(). I believe that this restores mbind() to the behavior before the memoryless-nodes patch series. E.g., we'll no longer treat an invalid nodemask with MPOL_PREFERRED as local allocation. [ Patch history: v1 -> v2: - Communicate whether or not incoming node mask was empty to mpol_check_policy() for better error checking. - As suggested by David Rientjes, remove the now unused cpuset_nodes_subset_current_mems_allowed() from cpuset.h v2 -> v3: - As suggested by Kosaki Motohito, fold the "contextualization" of policy nodemask into mpol_check_policy().

So we ended up with a kernel/timeconst.h set for HZ=250 ... which then failed the check for the right HZ value and died with: Drop the #ifdef magic from param.h and make force CONFIG_HZ=32 directly for the simulator.

* | Be more robust about bad arguments in get_user_pages()Jonathan Corbet2008-02-121-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | So I spent a while pounding my head against my monitor trying to figure out the vmsplice() vulnerability - how could a failure to check for *read* access turn into a root exploit? It turns out that it's a buffer overflow problem which is made easy by the way get_user_pages() is coded. In particular, "len" is a signed int, and it is only checked at the *end* of a do {} while() loop. So, if it is passed in as zero, the loop will execute once and decrement len to -1. At that point, the loop will proceed until the next invalid address is found; in the process, it will likely overflow the pages array passed in to get_user_pages(). I think that, if get_user_pages() has been asked to grab zero pages, that's what it should do. Thus this patch; it is, among other things, enough to block the (already fixed) root exploit and any others which might be lurking in similar code. I also think that the number of pages should be unsigned, but changing the prototype of this function probably requires some more careful review.
