x86: Default to vsyscall=native for now

2011-10-11T06:23:34Z

This UML breakage: linux-2.6.30.1[3800] vsyscall fault (exploit attempt?) ip:ffffffffff600000 cs:33 sp:7fbfb9c498 ax:ffffffffff600000 si:0 di:606790 linux-2.6.30.1[3856] vsyscall fault (exploit attempt?) ip:ffffffffff600000 cs:33 sp:7fbfb13168 ax:ffffffffff600000 si:0 di:606790 Is caused by commit 3ae36655 ("x86-64: Rework vsyscall emulation and add vsyscall= parameter") - the vsyscall emulation code is not fully cooked yet as UML relies on some rather fragile SIGSEGV semantics. Linus suggested in https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/8/9/376 to default to vsyscall=native for now, this patch implements that. Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk Acked-by: Andrew Lutomirski Cc: H.

Commit e27e6151b154 ("mm/thp: use conventional format for boolean attributes") changed /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/defrag to be tuned by using 1 (enabled) or 0 (disabled) instead of "yes" and "no", respectively.

hwmon: (coretemp) Don't use threshold registers for tempX_max

2011-09-22T00:25:18Z

With commit c814a4c7c4aad795835583344353963a0a673eb0, the meaning of tempX_max was changed. It no longer returns the value of bits 8:15 of MSR_IA32_TEMPERATURE_TARGET, but instead returns the value of CPU threshold register T1. tempX_max_hyst was added to reflect the value of temperature threshold register T0. As it turns out, T0 and T1 are used on some systems, presumably by the BIOS. Also, T0 and T1 don't have a well defined meaning. The thresholds may be used as upper or lower limits, and it is not guaranteed that T0 <= T1. Thus, the new attribute mapping does not reflect the actual usage of the threshold registers. Also, register contents are changed during runtime by an entity other than the hwmon driver, meaning the values cached by the driver do not reflect actual register contents. Revert most of c814a4c7c4aad795835583344353963a0a673eb0 to address the problem. Support for T0 and T1 will be added back in with a separate commit, using new attribute names.

hwmon: (coretemp) Let the user force TjMax

2011-09-22T00:25:18Z

On old CPUs (and even some recent Atom CPUs) TjMax can't be read from the CPU registers, so it is guessed by the driver using a complex heuristic which isn't reliable. So let users who know their CPU's TjMax pass it as a module parameter.
