18 years agokbuild: add dependency on kernel.release to the package targets

kbuild: add dependency on kernel.release to the package targets

The binrpm-pkg target uses KERNELRELEASE when generated its .spec file.
When binrpm-pkg was the first build target run in a tree it generated the
.spec before kernel.release so the Version: tag in the .spec was empty.

I don't know if this is the best fix, but binrpm-pkg works when we

kconfig: fix .config dependencies

This fixes one of the worst kbuild warts left - the broken dependencies used
to check and regenerate the .config file.  This was done via an indirect
dependency and the .config itself had an empty command, which can cause make
not to reread the changed .config file.

Instead of this we generate now a new file include/config/auto.conf from
.config, which is used for kbuild and has the proper dependencies.  It's also
the main make target now for all files generated during this step (and thus
replaces include/linux/autoconf.h).

This also means we can now relax the syntax requirements for the .config file
and we don't have to rewrite it all the time, i.e.  silentoldconfig only
writes .config now when it's necessary to keep it in sync with the Kconfig
files and even this can be suppressed by setting the environment variable
KCONFIG_NOSILENTUPDATE, so the update can (and must) be done manually.

[TCP]: Avoid skb_pull if possible when trimming head

Trimming the head of an skb by calling skb_pull can cause the packet
to become unaligned if the length pulled is odd.  Since the length is
entirely arbitrary for a FIN packet carrying data, this is actually
quite common.

Unaligned data is not the end of the world, but we should avoid it if
it's easily done.  In this case it is trivial.  Since we're discarding
all of the head data it doesn't matter whether we move skb->data forward
or back.

However, it is still possible to have unaligned skb->data in general.
So network drivers should be prepared to handle it instead of crashing.

This patch also adds an unlikely marking on len < headlen since partial
ACKs on head data are extremely rare in the wild.  As the return value
of __pskb_trim_head is no longer ever NULL that has been removed.

lower byte of IXP23XX_PRODUCT_ID is identical to the lower byte of

Stepping A1 of the ixp2350, which has a PRODUCT_ID of 0x401, has '02'

0x402, has '04' in the lower byte of processor_id.

Ingo Molnar [Fri, 2 Jun 2006 13:44:58 +0000 (15:44 +0200)]
[PATCH] slab.c: fix offslab_limit bug

mm/slab.c's offlab_limit logic is totally broken.

Firstly, "offslab_limit" is a global variable while it should either be
calculated in situ or should be passed in as a parameter.

Secondly, the more serious problem with it is that the condition for
calculating it:

               if (!(OFF_SLAB(sizes->cs_cachep))) {
                       offslab_limit = sizes->cs_size - sizeof(struct slab);
                       offslab_limit /= sizeof(kmem_bufctl_t);

is in total disconnect with the condition that makes use of it:

               /* More than offslab_limit objects will cause problems */
               if ((flags & CFLGS_OFF_SLAB) && num > offslab_limit)
                       break;

but due to offslab_limit being a global variable this breakage was
hidden.

Up until lockdep came along and perturbed the slab sizes sufficiently so
that the first off-slab cache would still see a (non-calculated) zero
value for offslab_limit and would panic with:

  kmem_cache_create: couldn't create cache size-512.

  Call Trace:
   [<ffffffff8020a5b9>] show_trace+0x96/0x1c8
   [<ffffffff8020a8f0>] dump_stack+0x13/0x15

   [<ffffffff80abf263>] _sinittext+0x263/0x26a

  Kernel panic - not syncing: kmem_cache_create(): failed to create slab `size-512'

Paolo Ornati's config on x86_64 managed to trigger it.

The fix is to move the calculation to the place that makes use of it.
This also makes slab.o 54 bytes smaller.

Btw., the check itself is quite silly. Its intention is to test whether
the number of objects per slab would be higher than the number of slab
control pointers possible. In theory it could be triggered: if someone
tried to allocate 4-byte objects cache and explicitly requested with
CFLGS_OFF_SLAB. So i kept the check.

Out of historic interest i checked how old this bug was and it's
ancient, 10 years old! It is the oldest hidden and then truly triggering
bugs i ever saw being fixed in the kernel!
