[PATCH] USB: EHCI updates split init/reinit logic for resume

Moving the PCI-specific parts of the EHCI driver into their own file
created a few issues ... notably on resume paths which (like swsusp)
require re-initializing the controller.  This patch:

 - Splits the EHCI startup code into run-once HCD setup code and
   separate "init the hardware" reinit code.  (That reinit code is
   a superset of the "early usb handoff" code.)

 - Then it makes the PCI init code run both, and the resume code only
   run the reinit code.

 - It also removes needless pci wrappers around EHCI start/stop methods.

 - Removes a byteswap issue that would be seen on big-endian hardware.

The HCD glue still doesn't actually provide a good way to do all this
run-one init stuff in one place though.

[PATCH] fix do_wait() vs exec() race

When non-leader thread does exec, de_thread adds old leader to the init's
->children list in EXIT_ZOMBIE state and drops tasklist_lock.

This means that release_task(leader) in de_thread() is racy vs do_wait()
from init task.

I think de_thread() should set old leader's state to EXIT_DEAD instead.

[PATCH] kprobes: Fix return probes on sys_execve

Fix a bug in kprobes that can cause an Oops or even a crash when a return
probe is installed on one of the following functions: sys_execve,
do_execve, load_*_binary, flush_old_exec, or flush_thread.  The fix is to
remove the call to kprobe_flush_task() in flush_thread().  This fix has
been tested on all architectures for which the return-probes feature has
been implemented (i386, x86_64, ppc64, ia64).  Please apply.

BACKGROUND

Up to now, we have called kprobe_flush_task() under two situations: when a
task exits, and when it execs.  Flushing kretprobe_instances on exit is
correct because (a) do_exit() doesn't return, and (b) one or more
return-probed functions may be active when a task calls do_exit().  Neither
is the case for sys_execve() and its callees.

Initially, the mistaken call to kprobe_flush_task() on exec was harmless
because we put the "real" return address of each active probed function
back in the stack, just to be safe, when we recycled its
kretprobe_instance.  When support for ppc64 and ia64 was added, this safety
measure couldn't be employed, and was eventually dropped even for i386 and
x86_64.  sys_execve() and its callees were informally blacklisted for
return probes until this fix was developed.

[PATCH] mm: update split ptlock Kconfig

Closer attention to the arithmetic shows that neither ppc64 nor sparc really
uses one page for multiple page tables: how on earth could they, while
pte_alloc_one returns just a struct page pointer, with no offset?

Well, arm26 manages it by returning a pte_t pointer cast to a struct page
pointer, harumph, then compensating in its pmd_populate.  But arm26 is never
SMP, so it's not a problem for split ptlock either.

And the PA-RISC situation has been recently improved: CONFIG_PA20 works
without the 16-byte alignment which inflated its spinlock_t.  But the current
union of spinlock_t with private does make the 7xxx struct page significantly
larger, even without debug, so disable its split ptlock.

[PATCH] device-mapper: mirror log bitset fix

The linux bitset operators (test_bit, set_bit etc) work on arrays of "unsigned
long".  dm-log uses such bitsets but treats them as arrays of uint32_t, only
allocating and zeroing a multiple of 4 bytes (as 'clean_bits' is a uint32_t).

The patch below fixes this problem.

The problem is specific to 64-bit big endian machines such as s390x or ppc-64
and can prevent pvmove terminating.

In the simplest case, if "region_count" were (say) 30, then
bitset_size (below) would be 4 and bitset_uint32_count would be 1.
Thus the memory for this butset, after allocation and zeroing would
be
   0 0 0 0 X X X X
On a bigendian 64bit machine, bit 0 for this bitset is in the 8th
byte! (and every bit that dm-log would use would be in the X area).

   0 0 0 0 X X X X

which hasn't been cleared properly.

As the dm-raid1 code only syncs and counts regions which have a 0 in the
'sync_bits' bitset, and only finishes when it has counted high enough, a large
number of 1's among those 'X's will cause the sync to not complete.

It is worth noting that the code uses the same bitsets for in-memory and
on-disk logs.  As these bitsets are host-endian and host-sized, this means
that they cannot safely be moved between computers with

[PATCH] hugetlb: fix race in set_max_huge_pages for multiple updaters of nr_huge_pages

If there are multiple updaters to /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages simultaneously
it is possible for the nr_huge_pages variable to become incorrect.  There
is no locking in the set_max_huge_pages function around
alloc_fresh_huge_page which is able to update nr_huge_pages.  Two callers
to alloc_fresh_huge_page could race against each other as could a call to
alloc_fresh_huge_page and a call to update_and_free_page.  This patch just
expands the area covered by the hugetlb_lock to cover the call into
alloc_fresh_huge_page.  I'm not sure how we could say that a sysctl section
is performance critical where more specific locking would be needed.

My reproducer was to run a couple copies of the following script
simultaneously

while [ true ]; do
echo 1000 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
echo 500 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
echo 750 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
echo 100 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
done

and then watch /proc/meminfo and eventually you will see things like

HugePages_Total:     100
HugePages_Free:      109

[PATCH] vgacon: Fix usage of stale height value on vc initialization

"[1.] One line summary of the problem:
When the kernel option "vga=1" is used, additional tty's (alt+control+Fx
with x=2,3,4,5, etc) do not provide the full 50 lines of output.  The first
one does have 50 lines, however.

[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
These addtitional tty's show only 39 lines plus the top pixel of the 40-th
line.  The remaining lines are black and not shown.  Kernel version
2.6.13.4 does not show this problem."

This bug is caused by using a stale font height value on vgacon_init.

Booting with vga=1 gives an 80x50 screen with an 8x8 font.  Somewhere
during the initialization, the font was changed to 8x9 and the first
vc was correctly resized to 80x44.  However, the rest of the vc's were
not allocated yet, and when they were subsequently initialized, they
still used a font height of 8 (instead of 9) causing the mentioned bug.

Fix by saving the new font height to vga_video_font_height.

[PATCH] uml: eliminate use of local in clone stub

We have a bug in the i386 stub_syscall6 which pushes ebp before the system
call and pops it afterwards.  Because we use syscall6 to remap the stack, the
old contents of the stack (and the former value of ebp) are no longer
available.  Some versions of gcc make from a real local, accessed through ebp,
despite my efforts to make it obvious that references to from are really
constants.  This patch attempts to make it even more obvious by eliminating
from and using a macro to access the stub's data explicitly with constants.

My original thinking on this was to replace syscall6 with a remap_stack
interface which saved ebp someplace and restored it afterwards.  The problem
is that there are no registers to put it in, except for esp.  That could work,
since we can store a constant in esp after the mmap because we just replaced
the stack.  However, this approach seems a tad cleaner.
