signal: Define __ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER so we know whether to clear sa_restorer

2013-03-27T02:41:25Z

flush_signal_handlers() needs to know whether sigaction::sa_restorer is defined, not whether SA_RESTORER is defined. Define the __ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER macro to indicate this. Vaguely based on upstream commit 574c4866e33d 'consolidate kernel-side struct sigaction declarations'. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Cc: Al Viro

efi_pstore: Introducing workqueue updating sysfs

2013-03-27T02:41:20Z

commit a93bc0c6e07ed9bac44700280e65e2945d864fd4 upstream. [Problem] efi_pstore creates sysfs entries, which enable users to access to NVRAM, in a write callback. If a kernel panic happens in an interrupt context, it may fail because it could sleep due to dynamic memory allocations during creating sysfs entries. [Patch Description] This patch removes sysfs operations from a write callback by introducing a workqueue updating sysfs entries which is scheduled after the write callback is called. Also, the workqueue is kicked in a just oops case. A system will go down in other cases such as panic, clean shutdown and emergency restart. And we don't need to create sysfs entries because there is no chance for users to access to them. efi_pstore will be robust against a kernel panic in an interrupt context with this patch.

inet: limit length of fragment queue hash table bucket lists

2013-03-27T02:41:07Z

[ Upstream commit 5a3da1fe9561828d0ca7eca664b16ec2b9bf0055 ] This patch introduces a constant limit of the fragment queue hash table bucket list lengths. Currently the limit 128 is choosen somewhat arbitrary and just ensures that we can fill up the fragment cache with empty packets up to the default ip_frag_high_thresh limits. It should just protect from list iteration eating considerable amounts of cpu. If we reach the maximum length in one hash bucket a warning is printed. This is implemented on the caller side of inet_frag_find to distinguish between the different users of inet_fragment.c. I dropped the out of memory warning in the ipv4 fragment lookup path, because we already get a warning by the slab allocator.

tcp: fix skb_availroom()

2013-03-27T02:41:06Z

[ Upstream commit 16fad69cfe4adbbfa813de516757b87bcae36d93 ] Chrome OS team reported a crash on a Pixel ChromeBook in TCP stack : https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=182056 commit a21d45726acac (tcp: avoid order-1 allocations on wifi and tx path) did a poor choice adding an 'avail_size' field to skb, while what we really needed was a 'reserved_tailroom' one. It would have avoided commit 22b4a4f22da (tcp: fix retransmit of partially acked frames) and this commit. Crash occurs because skb_split() is not aware of the 'avail_size' management (and should not be aware) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Reported-by: Mukesh Agrawal Signed-off-by: David S.

perf,x86: fix kernel crash with PEBS/BTS after suspend/resume

2013-03-27T02:40:54Z

commit 1d9d8639c063caf6efc2447f5f26aa637f844ff6 upstream. This patch fixes a kernel crash when using precise sampling (PEBS) after a suspend/resume. Turns out the CPU notifier code is not invoked on CPU0 (BP). Therefore, the DS_AREA (used by PEBS) is not restored properly by the kernel and keeps it power-on/resume value of 0 causing any PEBS measurement to crash when running on CPU0. The workaround is to add a hook in the actual resume code to restore the DS Area MSR value. It is invoked for all CPUS. So for all but CPU0, the DS_AREA will be restored twice but this is harmless.

NLS: improve UTF8 -> UTF16 string conversion routine

2013-03-20T15:03:41Z

commit 0720a06a7518c9d0c0125bd5d1f3b6264c55c3dd upstream. The utf8s_to_utf16s conversion routine needs to be improved. Unlike its utf16s_to_utf8s sibling, it doesn't accept arguments specifying the maximum length of the output buffer or the endianness of its 16-bit output. This patch (as1501) adds the two missing arguments, and adjusts the only two places in the kernel where the function is called. A follow-on patch will add a third caller that does utilize the new capabilities. The two conversion routines are still annoyingly inconsistent in the way they handle invalid byte combinations. But that's a subject for a different patch. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern CC: Clemens Ladisch Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings
