ae92ef8a44 [PATCH] flush icache in correct context
flush_icache_range() is used in two different situation - in binfmt_elf.c &
co for user space mappings and module.c for kernel modules.  On m68k
flush_icache_range() doesn't know which data to flush, as it has separate
address spaces and the pointer argument can be valid in either address
space.

First I considered splitting flush_icache_range(), but this patch is
simpler.  Setting the correct context gives flush_icache_range() enough
information to flush the correct data.

b60c1f6ffd [PATCH] drop note_interrupt() for per-CPU for proper scaling
The "unhandled interrupts" catcher, note_interrupt(), increments a global
desc->irq_count and grossly damages scaling of very large systems, e.g.,
>192p ia64 Altix, because of this highly contented cacheline, especially
for timer interrupts.  384p is severely crippled, and 512p is unuseable.

All calls to note_interrupt() can be disabled by booting with "noirqdebug",
but this disables the useful interrupt checking for all interrupts.

I propose eliminating note_interrupt() for all per-CPU interrupts.  This
was the behavior of linux-2.6.10 and earlier, but in 2.6.11 a code
restructuring added a call to note_interrupt() for per-CPU interrupts.
Besides, note_interrupt() is a bit racy for concurrent CPU calls anyway, as
the desc->irq_count++ increment isn't atomic (which, if done, would make
scaling even worse).

2efe86b809 [PATCH] cpuset exit NULL dereference fix
There is a race in the kernel cpuset code, between the code
to handle notify_on_release, and the code to remove a cpuset.
The notify_on_release code can end up trying to access a
cpuset that has been removed.  In the most common case, this
causes a NULL pointer dereference from the routine cpuset_path.
However all manner of bad things are possible, in theory at least.

The existing code decrements the cpuset use count, and if the
count goes to zero, processes the notify_on_release request,
if appropriate.  However, once the count goes to zero, unless we
are holding the global cpuset_sem semaphore, there is nothing to
stop another task from immediately removing the cpuset entirely,
and recycling its memory.

The obvious fix would be to always hold the cpuset_sem
semaphore while decrementing the use count and dealing with
notify_on_release.  However we don't want to force a global
semaphore into the mainline task exit path, as that might create
a scaling problem.

The actual fix is almost as easy - since this is only an issue
for cpusets using notify_on_release, which the top level big
cpusets don't normally need to use, only take the cpuset_sem
for cpusets using notify_on_release.

This code has been run for hours without a hiccup, while running
a cpuset create/destroy stress test that could crash the existing
kernel in seconds.  This patch applies to the current -linus
git kernel.

10f02d1c59 [PATCH] spin_unlock_bh() and preempt_check_resched()
In _spin_unlock_bh(lock):
	do { \
		_raw_spin_unlock(lock); \
		preempt_enable(); \
		local_bh_enable(); \
		__release(lock); \
	} while (0)

there is no reason for using preempt_enable() instead of a simple
preempt_enable_no_resched()

Since we know bottom halves are disabled, preempt_schedule() will always
return at once (preempt_count!=0), and hence preempt_check_resched() is
useless here...

This fixes it by using "preempt_enable_no_resched()" instead of the
"preempt_enable()", and thus avoids the useless preempt_check_resched()
just before re-enabling bottom halves.

b39c4fab25 [PATCH] cpusets+hotplug+preepmt broken
This patch removes the entwining of cpusets and hotplug code in the "No
more Mr.  Nice Guy" case of sched.c move_task_off_dead_cpu().

Since the hotplug code is holding a spinlock at this point, we cannot take
the cpuset semaphore, cpuset_sem, as would seem to be required either to
update the tasks cpuset, or to scan up the nested cpuset chain, looking for
the nearest cpuset ancestor that still has some CPUs that are online.  So
we just punt and blast the tasks cpus_allowed with all bits allowed.

This reverts these lines of code to what they were before the cpuset patch.
 And it updates the cpuset Doc file, to match.

The one known alternative to this that seems to work came from Dinakar
Guniguntala, and required the hotplug code to take the cpuset_sem semaphore
much earlier in its processing.  So far as we know, the increased locking
entanglement between cpusets and hot plug of this alternative approach is
not worth doing in this case.

168b717395 AUDIT: Clean up logging of untrusted strings
* If vsnprintf returns -1, it will mess up the sk buffer space accounting. 
This is fixed by not calling skb_put with bogus len values.

* audit_log_hex was a loop that called audit_log_vformat with %02X for each 
character. This is very inefficient since conversion from unsigned character 
to Ascii representation is essentially masking, shifting, and byte lookups. 
Also, the length of the converted string is well known - it's twice the 
original. Fixed by rewriting the function.

* audit_log_untrustedstring had no comments. This makes it hard for 
someone to understand what the string format will be.

* audit_log_d_path was never fixed to use untrustedstring. This could mess
up user space parsers. This was fixed to make a temp buffer, call d_path, 
and log temp buffer using untrustedstring.

  * Be more consistent about dev_dbg() tracing ... do it for resume() and

  * Say which type of system sleep state is being entered.

4f167fb491 [PATCH] spurious interrupt fix
On my IA64 machine, after kernel 2.6.12-rc3 boots, an edge-triggered
interrupt (IRQ 46) keeps triggered over and over again.  There is no IRQ 46
interrupt action handler.  It has lots of impact on performance.

Kernel 2.6.10 and its prior versions have no the problem.  Basically,
kernel 2.6.10 will mask the spurious edge interrupt if the interrupt is
triggered for the second time and its status includes
IRQ_DISABLE|IRQ_PENDING.

Originally, IA64 kernel has its own specific _irq_desc definitions in file
arch/ia64/kernel/irq.c.  The definition initiates _irq_desc[irq].status to
IRQ_DISABLE.  Since kernel 2.6.11, it was moved to architecture independent
codes, i.e.  kernel/irq/handle.c, but kernel/irq/handle.c initiates
_irq_desc[irq].status to 0 instead of IRQ_DISABLE.

c2f0c7c356 The attached patch addresses the problem with getting the audit daemon
shutdown credential information. It creates a new message type 
AUDIT_TERM_INFO, which is used by the audit daemon to query who issued the 
shutdown. 

It requires the placement of a hook function that gathers the information. The 
hook is after the DAC & MAC checks and before the function returns. Racing 
threads could overwrite the uid & pid - but they would have to be root and 
have policy that allows signalling the audit daemon. That should be a 
manageable risk.

The userspace component will be released later in audit 0.7.2. When it 
receives the TERM signal, it queries the kernel for shutdown information. 
When it receives it, it writes the message and exits. The message looks 
like this:

type=DAEMON msg=auditd(1114551182.000) auditd normal halt, sending pid=2650 
uid=525, auditd pid=1685

b7e4e85337 [PATCH] setitimer timer expires too early
It seems that the code responsible for this is in kernel/itimer.c:126:

	p->signal->real_timer.expires = jiffies + interval;
	add_timer(&p->signal->real_timer);

If you request an interval of, lets say 900 usecs, the interval given by
timeval_to_jiffies will be 1.

If you request this when we are half-way between two timer ticks, the
interval will only give 400 usecs.

If we want to guarantee that we never ever give intervals less than
requested, the simple solution would be to change that to:

	p->signal->real_timer.expires = jiffies + interval + 1;

This however will produce pathological cases, like having a idle system
being requested 1 ms timeouts will give systematically 2 ms timeouts,
whereas currently it simply gives a few usecs less than 1 ms.

The complex (and more computationally expensive) solution would be to
check the gettimeofday time, and compute the correct number of jiffies.
This way, if we request a 300 usecs timer 200 usecs inside the timer
tick, we can wait just one tick, but not if we are 800 usecs inside the
tick. This would also mean that we would have to lock preemption during
these computations to avoid races, etc.

I've searched the archives but couldn't find this particular issue being
discussed before.

Attached is a patch to do the simple solution, in case anybody thinks
that it should be used.

64f562c6df [PATCH] kprobes: Allow multiple kprobes at the same address
Allow registration of multiple kprobes at an address in an architecture
agnostic way.  Corresponding handlers will be invoked in a sequence.  But,
a kprobe and a jprobe can't (yet) co-exist at the same address.

04dea5f932 [PATCH] Kprobes: Oops! in unregister_kprobe()
kernel oops!  when unregister_kprobe() is called on a non-registered
kprobe.  This patch fixes the above problem by checking if the probe exists
before unregistering.
