[PATCH] x86_64: Avoid EBDA area in early boot allocator
Based on analysis&patch from Robert Hentosch
Observed on a Dell PE6850 with 16GB
The problem occurs very early on, when the kernel allocates space for the
temporary memory map called bootmap. The bootmap overlaps the EBDA region.
EBDA region is not historically reserved in the e820 mapping. When the
bootmap is freed it marks the EBDA region as usable.
If you notice in setup.c there is already code to work around the EBDA
in reserve_ebda_region(), this check however occurs after the bootmap
is allocated and doesn't prevent the bootmap from using this range.
AK: I redid the original patch. Thanks also to Jan Beulich for
spotting some mistakes.

[PATCH] x86_64: add nmi_exit to die_nmi
Playing with NMI watchdog on x86_64, I discovered that it didn't
do what I expected. It always panic-ed, even when it didn't
happen from interrupt context. This patch solves that
problem for me. Also, in this case, do_exit() will be called
with interrupts disabled, I believe. Would it be wise to also
call local_irq_enable() after nmi_exit()?
[Yes I added it -AK]
Currently, on x86_64, any NMI watchdog timeout will cause a panic
because the irq count will always be set to be in an interrupt
when do_exit() is called from die_nmi(). If we add nmi_exit() to
the die_nmi() call (since the nmi will never exit "normally")
it seems to solve this problem. The following small program
can be used to trigger the NMI watchdog to reproduce this:
main ()

[DCCP]: Fix sock_orphan dead lock
Calling sock_orphan inside bh_lock_sock in dccp_close can lead to dead
locks. For example, the inet_diag code holds sk_callback_lock without
disabling BH. If an inbound packet arrives during that admittedly tiny
window, it will cause a dead lock on bh_lock_sock. Another possible
path would be through sock_wfree if the network device driver frees the
tx skb in process context with BH enabled.
We can fix this by moving sock_orphan out of bh_lock_sock.
The tricky bit is to work out when we need to destroy the socket
ourselves and when it has already been destroyed by someone else.
By moving sock_orphan before the release_sock we can solve this
problem. This is because as long as we own the socket lock its
state cannot change.
So we simply record the socket state before the release_sock
and then check the state again after we regain the socket lock.
If the socket state has transitioned to DCCP_CLOSED in the time being,
we know that the socket has been destroyed. Otherwise the socket is
still ours to keep.

[SCTP]: Prevent possible infinite recursion with multiple bundled DATA.
There is a rare situation that causes lksctp to go into infinite recursion
and crash the system. The trigger is a packet that contains at least the
first two DATA fragments of a message bundled together. The recursion is
triggered when the user data buffer is smaller that the full data message.
The problem is that we clone the skb for every fragment in the message.
When reassembling the full message, we try to link skbs from the "first
fragment" clone using the frag_list. However, since the frag_list is shared
between two clones in this rare situation, we end up setting the frag_list
pointer of the second fragment to point to itself. This causes
sctp_skb_pull() to potentially recurse indefinitely.
Proposed solution is to make a copy of the skb when attempting to link
things using frag_list.

and rely on the alignment exception handler to fix things up in the
rare cases where the cpu can't handle it in hardware. Thus we can
get alignment exceptions in the network stack at interrupt level.
The alignment exception handler does a __get_user to read the
instruction and blows up in might_sleep().
Since a __get_user on a kernel address won't actually ever sleep,
this makes the might_sleep conditional on the address being less
than PAGE_OFFSET.
A number of small issues are fixed, and added the header file, missed from the
original series. With this, driver should be pretty stable as tested among
both platform-device-driven and "old way" boards. Also added missing GPL
statement , and updated year field on existing ones to reflect
code update.

SCC uart sends a break sequence each time it is stopped with the
CPM_CR_STOP_TX command. That means that each time an application closes the
serial device, a break is transmitted. To fix this, graceful tx stop is
issued for SCC.

We currently single-step inline if the instruction on which a kprobe is
inserted is a trap variant.
- variants (such as tdnei, used by BUG()) typically evaluate a condition
and cause a trap only if the condition is satisfied.
- kprobes uses the unconditional "trap" (0x7fe00008) and single-stepping
again on this instruction, resulting in another trap without
evaluating the condition is obviously incorrect.

[PATCH] powerpc/pseries: avoid crash in PCI code if mem system not up
The powerpc code is currently performing PCI setup before memory
initialization. PCI setup touches PCI config space registers. If the PCI
card is bad, this will evoke an error, which currrently can't be handled,
as the PCI error recovery code expects kmalloc() to be functional. This
patch will cause the system to punt instead of crashing with

[PATCH] via-rhine: zero pad short packets on Rhine I ethernet cards
Fixes Rhine I cards disclosing fragments of previously transmitted frames
in new transmissions.
Before transmission, any socket buffer (skb) shorter than the ethernet
minimum length of 60 bytes was zero-padded. On Rhine I cards the data can
later be copied into an aligned transmission buffer without copying this
padding. This resulted in the transmission of the frame with the extra
bytes beyond the provided content leaking the previous contents of this
buffer on to the network.
Now zero-padding is repeated in the local aligned buffer if one is used.
Following a suggestion from the via-rhine maintainer, no attempt is made
here to avoid the duplicated effort of padding the skb if it is known that
an aligned buffer will definitely be used. This is to make the change
"obviously correct" and allow it to be applied to a stable kernel if
necessary. There is no change to the flow of control and the changes are
only to the Rhine I code path.
The patch has run on an in-service Rhine-I host without incident. Frames
shorter than 60 bytes are now correctly zero-padded when captured on a
separate host. I see no unusual stats reported by ifconfig, and no unusual
log messages.

The SET_NETDEV_DEV has to be done before a call to register_netdev. With
the new patch below, the device symlink for the platform device was
created. Unfortunately, after the 4 ls commands, the network connection
died. No idea if the box crashed or if something else broke, lost remote
access.
Provide sysfs 'device' in /class/net/ethN Also, set module owner field,
like pcnet32 driver does.

[MMC] PXA: reduce the number of lines PXAMCI debug uses
There's no reason for the PXAMCI debug code to print so many lines - it
causes the kernel buffer to overflow when trying to debug this driver.
Remove some debug messages which are duplicated by core code, and
combine other messages, resulting in fewer characters written to the
kernel log.
