initramfs: handle unrecognised decompressor when unpacking

2010-05-12T21:57:10Z

commit df37bd156dcb4f5441beaf5bde444adac974e9a0 upstream. The unpack routine fails to handle the decompress_method() returning unrecognised decompressor (compress_name == NULL). This results in the routine looping eventually oopsing on an out of bounds memory access. Note this bug is usually hidden, only triggering on trailing junk after one or more correct compressed blocks. The case of the compressed archive being complete junk is (by accident?) caught by the if (state != Reset) check because state is initialised to Start, but not updated due to the decompressor not having been called. Obviously if the junk is trailing a correctly decompressed buffer, state == Reset from the previous call to the decompressor.

cpuset: fix the problem that cpuset_mem_spread_node() returns an offline node

2010-04-01T22:58:46Z

commit 5ab116c9349ef52d6fbd2e2917a53f13194b048e upstream. cpuset_mem_spread_node() returns an offline node, and causes an oops. This patch fixes it by initializing task->mems_allowed to node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY], and updating task->mems_allowed when doing memory hotplug.

sched: Mark boot-cpu active before smp_init()

2010-04-01T22:58:15Z

commit 933b0618d8b2a59c7a0742e43836544e02f1e9bd upstream. A UP machine has 1 active cpu, not having the boot-cpu in the active map when starting the scheduler confuses things.

timers, init: Limit the number of per cpu calibration bootup messages

2010-01-28T23:01:14Z

commit feae3203d711db0a9965300ee6d592257fdaae4f upstream. Limit the number of per cpu calibration messages by only printing out results for the first cpu to boot. Also, don't print "CPUx is down" as this is expected, and we don't need 4096 reminders... ;-) Signed-off-by: Mike Travis Cc: Heiko Carstens Cc: Roland Dreier Cc: Randy Dunlap Cc: Tejun Heo Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Yinghai Lu Cc: David Rientjes Cc: Steven Rostedt Cc: Rusty Russell Cc: Hidetoshi Seto Cc: Jack Steiner Cc: Frederic Weisbecker LKML-Reference: <20091118002219.889552000@alcatraz.americas.sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
