x86: quirk for reboot stalls on a Dell Optiplex 330
Commit 81e192d6ce ("parisc: convert to
generic compat_sys_ptrace") introduced a bug which segfaults the parisc
64bit kernel when stracing 32bit applications:
Kernel Fault: Code=15 regs=00000000bafa42b0 (Addr=00000001baf5ab57)

[<0000000040104ef8>] syscall_exit+0x0/0x14
The problem is that compat_arch_ptrace() enters with an addr value of
type compat_ulong_t and calls translate_usr_offset() to translate the
address offset into a struct pt_regs offset like this:
addr = translate_usr_offset(addr)
this means that any return value of translate_usr_offset() is stored
back as compat_ulong_t type into the addr variable.
But since translate_usr_offset() returns -1 for invalid offsets, addr
can now get the value 0xffffffff which then fails the next return-value
sanity check and thus the kernel tries to access invalid memory:
if (addr < 0)
break;
Fix this bug by modifying translate_usr_offset() to take and return
values of type compat_ulong_t, and by returning the value
"sizeof(struct pt_regs)" as an error indicator.
Additionally change the sanity check to check for return values
for >= sizeof(struct pt_regs).
This patch survived my compile and run-tests.

Try this, and you'll get oops immediately:
# cd Documentation/accounting/
# gcc -o getdelays getdelays.c
# mount -t cgroup -o debug xxx /mnt
# ./getdelays -C /mnt/tasks
Because a normal file's dentry->d_fsdata is a pointer to struct cftype,
not struct cgroup.
After the patch, it returns EINVAL if we try to get cgroupstats
from a normal file.

fs/hostfs/hostfs_user.c defines do_readlink() as non-static, and so does
fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_ioctl.c when CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG=y. So rename
do_readlink() in hostfs to hostfs_do_readlink().
I think it's better if XFS guys will also rename their do_readlink(),
it's not necessary to use such a general name.

Peter Cordes is sorry that he rm'ed his swapfiles while they were in use,
he then had no pathname to swapoff. It's a curious little oversight, but
not one worth a lot of hackery. Kudos to Willy Tarreau for turning this
around from a discussion of synthetic pathnames to how to prevent unlink.
Mimic immutable: prohibit unlinking an active swapfile in may_delete()
(and don't worry my little head over the tiny race window).

In the past, GFP_NOFS (but of course not GFP_NOIO) was allowed to reclaim
by writing to swap. That got partially broken in 2.6.23, when may_enter_fs
initialization was moved up before the allocation of swap, so its
PageSwapCache test was failing the first time around,
Fix it by setting may_enter_fs when add_to_swap() succeeds with
__GFP_IO. In fact, check __GFP_IO before calling add_to_swap():
allocating swap we're not ready to use just increases disk seeking.

sprint_symbol(), itself used when dumping stacks, has been wasting 128
bytes of stack: lookup the symbol directly into the buffer supplied by the
caller, instead of using a locally declared namebuf.
I believe the name != buffer strcpy() is obsolete: the design here dates
from when module symbol lookup pointed into a supposedly const but sadly
volatile table; nowadays it copies, but an uncalled strcpy() looks better
here than the risk of a recursive BUG_ON().

As Balbir pointed out, memcg's pre_destroy handler has potential deadlock.
It has following lock sequence.
cgroup_mutex (cgroup_rmdir)
-> pre_destroy -> mem_cgroup_pre_destroy-> force_empty
-> cpu_hotplug.lock. (lru_add_drain_all->
schedule_work->
get_online_cpus)
But, cpuset has following.
cpu_hotplug.lock (call notifier)
-> cgroup_mutex. (within notifier)
Then, this lock sequence should be fixed.
Considering how pre_destroy works, it's not necessary to holding
cgroup_mutex() while calling it.
As a side effect, we don't have to wait at this mutex while memcg's
force_empty works.(it can be long when there are tons of pages.)

Current vmalloc restart search for a free area in case we can't find one.
The reason is there are areas which are lazily freed, and could be
possibly freed now. However, current implementation start searching the
tree from the last failing address, which is pretty much by definition at
the end of address space. So, we fail.
The proposal of this patch is to restart the search from the beginning of
the requested vstart address. This fixes the regression in running KVM
virtual machines for me, described in http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/28/349,
caused by commit db64fe0225.

An initial vmalloc failure should start off a synchronous flush of lazy
areas, in case someone is in progress flushing them already, which could
cause us to return an allocation failure even if there is plenty of KVA
free.

After adding a node into the machine, top cpuset's mems isn't updated.
By reviewing the code, we found that the update function
cpuset_track_online_nodes()
was invoked after node_states[N_ONLINE] changes. It is wrong because
N_ONLINE just means node has pgdat, and if node has/added memory, we use
N_HIGH_MEMORY. So, We should invoke the update function after
node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] changes, just like its commit says.
This patch fixes it. And we use notifier of memory hotplug instead of
direct calling of cpuset_track_online_nodes().

I have received some reports of out-of-memory errors on some older AMD
architectures. These errors are what I would expect to see if
crypt_stat->key were split between two separate pages. eCryptfs should
not assume that any of the memory sent through virt_to_scatterlist() is
all contained in a single page, and so this patch allocates two
scatterlist structs instead of one when processing keys. I have received
confirmation from one person affected by this bug that this patch resolves
the issue for him, and so I am submitting it for inclusion in a future
stable release.
Note that virt_to_scatterlist() runs sg_init_table() on the scatterlist
structs passed to it, so the calls to sg_init_table() in
decrypt_passphrase_encrypted_session_key() are redundant.
