x86-32: Export kernel_stack_pointer() for modules

2012-12-06T02:40:17+00:00

commit cb57a2b4cff7edf2a4e32c0163200e9434807e0a upstream. Modules, in particular oprofile (and possibly other similar tools) need kernel_stack_pointer(), so export it using EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().

x86, mce, therm_throt: Don't report power limit and package level thermal throttle events in mcelog

2012-12-03T20:59:16+00:00

commit 29e9bf1841e4f9df13b4992a716fece7087dd237 upstream. Thermal throttle and power limit events are not defined as MCE errors in x86 architecture and should not generate MCE errors in mcelog. Current kernel generates fake software defined MCE errors for these events. This may confuse users because they may think the machine has real MCE errors while actually only thermal throttle or power limit events happen. To make it worse, buggy firmware on some platforms may falsely generate the events. Therefore, kernel reports MCE errors which users think as real hardware errors. Although the firmware bugs should be fixed, on the other hand, kernel should not report MCE errors either. So mcelog is not a good mechanism to report these events. To report the events, we count them in respective counters (core_power_limit_count, package_power_limit_count, core_throttle_count, and package_throttle_count) in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/thermal_throttle/. Users can check the counters for each event on each CPU. Please note that all CPU's on one package report duplicate counters. It's user application's responsibity to retrieve a package level counter for one package. This patch doesn't report package level power limit, core level power limit, and package level thermal throttle events in mcelog. When the events happen, only report them in respective counters in sysfs. Since core level thermal throttle has been legacy code in kernel for a while and users accepted it as MCE error in mcelog, core level thermal throttle is still reported in mcelog. In the mean time, the event is counted in a counter in sysfs as well.

sparc64: not any error from do_sigaltstack() should fail rt_sigreturn()

2012-12-03T20:59:14+00:00

commit fae2ae2a900a5c7bb385fe4075f343e7e2d5daa2 upstream. If a signal handler is executed on altstack and another signal comes, we will end up with rt_sigreturn() on return from the second handler getting -EPERM from do_sigaltstack(). It's perfectly OK, since we are not asking to change the settings; in fact, they couldn't have been changed during the second handler execution exactly because we'd been on altstack all along. 64bit sigreturn on sparc treats any error from do_sigaltstack() as "SIGSEGV now"; we need to switch to the same semantics we are using on other architectures.

PARISC: fix user-triggerable panic on parisc

This turns out to be correct and we need to pay attention to the pgoff as well as the address when creating the virtual address for the area. Fortunately, the bug is rarely triggered as most applications which use pgoff tend to use large values (git being the primary one, and it uses pgoff in multiples of 16MB) which are larger than our cache coherency modulus, so the problem isn't often seen in practise.

x86-32: Fix invalid stack address while in softirq

2012-12-03T20:59:13+00:00

commit 1022623842cb72ee4d0dbf02f6937f38c92c3f41 upstream. In 32 bit the stack address provided by kernel_stack_pointer() may point to an invalid range causing NULL pointer access or page faults while in NMI (see trace below). This happens if called in softirq context and if the stack is empty. The address at ®s->sp is then out of range. Fixing this by checking if regs and ®s->sp are in the same stack context. Otherwise return the previous stack pointer stored in struct thread_info. If that address is invalid too, return address of regs.

kbuild: Fix gcc -x syntax

2012-11-26T19:34:37+00:00

commit b1e0d8b70fa31821ebca3965f2ef8619d7c5e316 upstream. The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not "gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers such as icecream do expect. This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel miscompilations. Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this incorrect -x parameter syntax.

m68k: fix sigset_t accessor functions

2012-11-26T19:34:35+00:00

commit 34fa78b59c52d1db3513db4c1a999db26b2e9ac2 upstream. The sigaddset/sigdelset/sigismember functions that are implemented with bitfield insn cannot allow the sigset argument to be placed in a data register since the sigset is wider than 32 bits. Remove the "d" constraint from the asm statements. The effect of the bug is that sending RT signals does not work, the signal number is truncated modulo 32.

s390/gup: add missing TASK_SIZE check to get_user_pages_fast()

2012-11-26T19:34:34+00:00

commit d55c4c613fc4d4ad2ba0fc6fa2b57176d420f7e4 upstream. When walking page tables we need to make sure that everything is within bounds of the ASCE limit of the task's address space. Otherwise we might calculate e.g. a pud pointer which is not within a pud and dereference it. So check against TASK_SIZE (which is the ASCE limit) before walking page tables.
