modules: warn about suspicious return values from module's ->init() hook
Return value convention of module's init functions is 0/-E. Sometimes,
e.g. during forward-porting mistakes happen and buggy module created,
where result of comparison "workqueue != NULL" is propagated all the way up
to sys_init_module. What happens is that some other module created
workqueue in question, our module created it again and module was
successfully loaded.
Or it could be some other bug.
Let's make such mistakes much more visible. In retrospective, such
messages would noticeably shorten some of my head-scratching sessions.
Note, that dump_stack() is just a way to get attention from user. Sample
message:
sys_init_module: 'foo'->init suspiciously returned 1, it should follow 0/-E convention
sys_init_module: loading module anyway...

hugetlb: correct page count for surplus huge pages
Free pages in the hugetlb pool are free and as such have a reference count of
zero. Regular allocations into the pool from the buddy are "freed" into the
pool which results in their page_count dropping to zero. However, surplus
pages can be directly utilized by the caller without first being freed to the
pool. Therefore, a call to put_page_testzero() is in order so that such a
page will be handed to the caller with a correct count.
This has not affected end users because the bad page count is reset before the
page is handed off. However, under CONFIG_DEBUG_VM this triggers a BUG when
the page count is validated.
Thanks go to Mel for first spotting this issue and providing an initial fix.

mempolicy: fix reference counting bugs
Address 3 known bugs in the current memory policy reference counting method.
I have a series of patches to rework the reference counting to reduce overhead
in the allocation path. However, that series will require testing in -mm once
I repost it.
1) alloc_page_vma() does not release the extra reference taken for
vma/shared mempolicy when the mode == MPOL_INTERLEAVE. This can result in
leaking mempolicy structures. This is probably occurring, but not being
noticed.
Fix: add the conditional release of the reference.
2) hugezonelist unconditionally releases a reference on the mempolicy when
mode == MPOL_INTERLEAVE. This can result in decrementing the reference
count for system default policy [should have no ill effect] or premature
freeing of task policy. If this occurred, the next allocation using task
mempolicy would use the freed structure and probably BUG out.
Fix: add the necessary check to the release.
3) The current reference counting method assumes that vma 'get_policy()'
methods automatically add an extra reference a non-NULL returned mempolicy.
This is true for shmem_get_policy() used by tmpfs mappings, including
regular page shm segments. However, SHM_HUGETLB shm's, backed by
hugetlbfs, just use the vma policy without the extra reference. This
results in freeing of the vma policy on the first allocation, with reuse of
the freed mempolicy structure on subsequent allocations.
Fix: Rather than add another condition to the conditional reference
release, which occur in the allocation path, just add a reference when
returning the vma policy in shm_get_policy() to match the assumptions.

cpu hotplug: adjust root-domain->online span in response to hotplug event
We currently set the root-domain online span automatically when the
domain is added to the cpu if the cpu is already a member of
cpu_online_map.
This was done as a hack/bug-fix for s2ram, but it also causes a problem
with hotplug CPU_DOWN transitioning. The right way to fix the original
problem is to actually respond to CPU_UP events, instead of CPU_ONLINE,
which is already too late.
This solves the hung reboot regression reported by Andrew Morton and
others.
While the fix did greatly improve the situation, it was correctly pointed out
by Roman that it does have a small bug: If the users change clocksources after
the system has been running and NTP has made corrections, the correctoins made
against the old clocksource will be applied against the new clocksource,
causing error.
The second attempt, which corrects the issue in the NTP_INTERVAL_LENGTH
definition has also made it up-stream as commit e13a2e61dd5152f5499d2003470acf9c838eab84
Roman has correctly pointed out that CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST is calculated
based on the PIT's frequency, and isn't really relevant to non-PIT
driven clocksources (that is, clocksources other then jiffies and pit).
This patch reverts both of those changes, and simply removes
CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST.
This does remove the granularity error correction for users of PIT and Jiffies
clocksource users, but the granularity error but for the majority of users, it
should be within the 500ppm range NTP can accommodate for.
For systems that have granularity errors greater then 500ppm, the
"ntp_tick_adj=" boot option can be used to compensate.

x86_64: make ptrace always sign-extend orig_ax to 64 bits
This makes 64-bit ptrace calls setting the 64-bit orig_ax field for a
32-bit task sign-extend the low 32 bits up to 64. This matches what a
64-bit debugger expects when tracing a 32-bit task.
This follows on my "x86_64 ia32 syscall restart fix". This didn't
matter until that was fixed.
The debugger ignores or zeros the high half of every register slot it
sets (including the orig_rax pseudo-register) uniformly. It expects
that the setting of the low 32 bits always has the same meaning as a
32-bit debugger setting those same 32 bits with native 32-bit
facilities.
This never arose before because the syscall restart check never
matched any -ERESTART* values due to lack of sign extension. Before
that fix, even 32-bit ptrace setting orig_eax to -1 failed to trigger
the restart check anyway. So this was never noticed as a regression
of 64-bit debuggers vs 32-bit debuggers on the same 64-bit kernel.

this is due to a place that can reschedule a task without holding
the tasks runqueue lock. This was caused by the RT balancing code
that pulls RT tasks to the current run queue and will reschedule the
current task.
There's a slight chance that the pulling of the RT tasks will release
the current runqueue's lock and retake it (in the double_lock_balance).
During this time that the runqueue is released, the current task can
migrate to another runqueue.
In the prio_changed_rt code, after the pull, if the current task is of
lesser priority than one of the RT tasks pulled, resched_task is called
on the current task. If the current task had migrated in that small
window, resched_task will be called without holding the runqueue lock
for the runqueue that the task is on.
This race condition also exists in the mainline kernel and this patch

to be caused by the fact that the vesa probing now asks for VBE2 data.
Disassembing the video BIOS shows that it overflows the vesa_general_info
structure when VBE2 data is requested because the source addresses for the
information strings which get strcpy'ed to the buffer lie outside the 32K
BIOS code (and hence contain long sequences of 0xff's).
(The full BIOS can be found at http://peter.korsgaard.com/vgabios.bin
if interested).
The old setup code didn't ask for VBE2 info, and the new code doesn't
actually do anything with the extra information, so the fix is to simply
not request it. Other BIOS'es might have the same problem.

x86: fix merge mistake in i387.c
convert_fxsr_to_user() in 2.6.24's i387_32.c did this, and
convert_to_fxsr() also does the inverse, so I assume it's an oversight
that it is no longer being done.
[ mingo@elte.hu:
we encode it this way because there's no space for the 'FPU Last
Instruction Opcode' (->fop) field in the legacy user_i387_ia32_struct
that PTRACE_GETFPREGS/PTRACE_SETFPREGS uses.
it's probably pure legacy - i'd be surprised if any user-space relied on
the FPU Last Opcode in any way. But indeed we used to do it previously
so the most conservative thing is to preserve that piece of information.

x86: clear DF before calling signal handler
The Linux kernel currently does not clear the direction flag before
calling a signal handler, whereas the x86/x86-64 ABI requires that.
Linux had this behavior/bug forever, but this becomes a real problem
with gcc version 4.3, which assumes that the direction flag is
correctly cleared at the entry of a function.
This patches changes the setup_frame() functions to clear the
direction before entering the signal handler.

slab: NUMA slab allocator migration bugfix
NUMA slab allocator cpu migration bugfix
The NUMA slab allocator (specifically, cache_alloc_refill)
is not refreshing its local copies of what cpu and what
numa node it is on, when it drops and reacquires the irq
block that it inherited from its caller. As a result
those values become invalid if an attempt to migrate the
process to another numa node occured while the irq block
had been dropped.
The solution is to make cache_alloc_refill reload these
variables whenever it drops and reacquires the irq block.
The error is very difficult to hit. When it does occur,
one gets the following oops + stack traceback bits in
check_spinlock_acquired:
kernel BUG at mm/slab.c:2417
cache_alloc_refill+0xe6
kmem_cache_alloc+0xd0

slub: Do not cross cacheline boundaries for very small objects
SLUB should pack even small objects nicely into cachelines if that is what
has been asked for. Use the same algorithm as SLAB for this.
The effect of this patch for a system with a cacheline size of 64
bytes is that the 24 byte sized slab caches will now put exactly
2 objects into a cacheline instead of 3 with some overlap into
the next cacheline. This reduces the object density in a 4k slab
from 170 to 128 objects (same as SLAB).

[IA64] update efi region debugging to use MB, GB and TB as well as KB
When EFI_DEBUG is defined to a non-zero value in arch/ia64/kernel/efi.c,
the efi memory regions are displayed. This patch enhances the
display code in a few ways:
1. Use TB, GB and MB as well as KB as units.
Although this introduces rounding errors (KB doesn't as
size is always a multiple of 4Kb), it does make
things a lot more readable.
Also as the range is also shown, it is possible to note the exact size
if it is important. In my experience, the size field is mostly useful
for getting a general idea of the size of a region.
On the rx2620 that I use, there actually is an 8TB region (though not
backed by physical memory, and 8TB really is a lot more readable than
8589934592KB.
2. pad the size field with leading spaces to further improve readability

Since nbytes is an unsigned number, it wraps
at the end of the loop allowing us to go back

WARNING: drivers/video/built-in.o(.text+0xb9b0): Section mismatch in reference from the function pvr2fb_check_var() to the variable .devinit.data:pvr2_fix
The function pvr2fb_check_var() references
the variable __devinitdata pvr2_fix.
This is often because pvr2fb_check_var lacks a __devinitdata
annotation or the annotation of pvr2_fix is wrong.
This is obviously crap as no such reference exists, but it's a bit
closer to reality from older versions which blamed the PCI table. The
real problem was a reference to pvr2_var.vmode from pvr2fb_check_var(),
as pvr2_var is flagged as __devinitdata (pvr2_fix is also, so at least
that part is right).
pvr2_var.vmode is just a fancy way of saying FB_VMODE_NONINTERLACED, so
we just reference that explicitly instead.
