asm-generic: make copy_from_user() zero the destination properly

2016-11-20T01:17:25Z

commit 2545e5da080b4839dd859e3b09343a884f6ab0e3 upstream. ... in all cases, including the failing access_ok() Note that some architectures using asm-generic/uaccess.h have __copy_from_user() not zeroing the tail on failure halfway through. This variant works either way. Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

sched/preempt: Fix preempt_count manipulations

2016-08-22T21:38:00Z

commit 2e636d5e66c35dfcbaf617aa8fa963f6847478fe upstream. Vikram reported that his ARM64 compiler managed to 'optimize' away the preempt_count manipulations in code like: preempt_enable_no_resched(); put_user(); preempt_disable(); Irrespective of that fact that that is horrible code that should be fixed for many reasons, it does highlight a deficiency in the generic preempt_count manipulators. As it is never right to combine/elide preempt_count manipulations like this. Therefore sprinkle some volatile in the two generic accessors to ensure the compiler is aware of the fact that the preempt_count is observed outside of the regular program-order view and thus cannot be optimized away like this. x86; the only arch not using the generic code is not affected as we do all this in asm in order to use the segment base per-cpu stuff.

bitops: Do not default to __clear_bit() for __clear_bit_unlock()

2016-04-30T22:06:03Z

commit f75d48644c56a31731d17fa693c8175328957e1d upstream. __clear_bit_unlock() is a special little snowflake. While it carries the non-atomic '__' prefix, it is specifically documented to pair with test_and_set_bit() and therefore should be 'somewhat' atomic. Therefore the generic implementation of __clear_bit_unlock() cannot use the fully non-atomic __clear_bit() as a default. If an arch is able to do better; is must provide an implementation of __clear_bit_unlock() itself. Specifically, this came up as a result of hackbench livelock'ing in slab_lock() on ARC with SMP + SLUB + !LLSC. The issue was incorrect pairing of atomic ops. slab_lock() -> bit_spin_lock() -> test_and_set_bit() slab_unlock() -> __bit_spin_unlock() -> __clear_bit() The non serializing __clear_bit() was getting "lost" 80543b8e: ld_s r2,[r13,0] <--- (A) Finds PG_locked is set 80543b90: or r3,r2,1 <--- (B) other core unlocks right here 80543b94: st_s r3,[r13,0] <--- (C) sets PG_locked (overwrites unlock) Fixes ARC STAR 9000817404 (and probably more).

cputime: Prevent 32bit overflow in time[val|spec]_to_cputime()

2016-02-25T00:18:42Z

commit 0f26922fe5dc5724b1adbbd54b21bad03590b4f3 upstream. The datatype __kernel_time_t is u32 on 32bit platform, so its subject to overflows in the timeval/timespec to cputime conversion. Currently the following functions are affected: 1. setitimer() 2. timer_create/timer_settime() 3. sys_clock_nanosleep This can happen on MIPS32 and ARM32 with "Full dynticks CPU time accounting" enabled, which is required for CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL. Enforce u64 conversion to prevent the overflow.

sched/preempt: Fix cond_resched_lock() and cond_resched_softirq()

2015-11-16T11:27:24Z

commit fe32d3cd5e8eb0f82e459763374aa80797023403 upstream. These functions check should_resched() before unlocking spinlock/bh-enable: preempt_count always non-zero => should_resched() always returns false. cond_resched_lock() worked iff spin_needbreak is set. This patch adds argument "preempt_offset" to should_resched(). preempt_count offset constants for that: PREEMPT_DISABLE_OFFSET - offset after preempt_disable() PREEMPT_LOCK_OFFSET - offset after spin_lock() SOFTIRQ_DISABLE_OFFSET - offset after local_bh_distable() SOFTIRQ_LOCK_OFFSET - offset after spin_lock_bh() Signed-off-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Cc: Alexander Graf Cc: Boris Ostrovsky Cc: David Vrabel Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Fixes: bdb438065890 ("sched: Extract the basic add/sub preempt_count modifiers") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20150715095204.12246.98268.stgit@buzz Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar [ luis: backported to 3.16: - some of the changes done in preempt_mask.h instead of preempt.h - adjusted context ] Signed-off-by: Luis Henriques

core: fix typo in percpu read_mostly section

2014-07-01T20:45:22Z

This fixes a typo that named the read_mostly section of percpu as readmostly. It works fine with SMP because the linker script specifies .data..percpu..readmostly. However, UP kernel builds don't have percpu sections defined and the non-percpu version of the section is called data..read_mostly, so .data..readmostly will float around and may break things unexpectedly. Looking at the original change that introduced data..percpu..readmostly (commit c957ef2c59e952803766ddc22e89981ab534606f), it looks like this was the original intention. Tested: Built UP kernel and confirmed the sections got merged. - Before the patch: $ objdump -h vmlinux.o | grep '\.data\.\.read.*mostly' 38 .data..read_mostly 00004418 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00431ac0 2**6 50 .data..readmostly 00000014 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00444000 2**3 - After the patch: $ objdump -h vmlinux.o | grep '\.data\.\.read.*mostly' 38 .data..read_mostly 00004438 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00431ac0 2**6 Signed-off-by: Zhengyu He Signed-off-by: Filipe Brandenburger Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo
