sched/x86: Fix overflow in cyc2ns_offset

2012-04-13T16:13:56Z

commit 9993bc635d01a6ee7f6b833b4ee65ce7c06350b1 upstream. When a machine boots up, the TSC generally gets reset. However, when kexec is used to boot into a kernel, the TSC value would be carried over from the previous kernel. The computation of cycns_offset in set_cyc2ns_scale is prone to an overflow, if the machine has been up more than 208 days prior to the kexec. The overflow happens when we multiply *scale, even though there is enough room to store the final answer. We fix this issue by decomposing tsc_now into the quotient and remainder of division by CYC2NS_SCALE_FACTOR and then performing the multiplication separately on the two components. Refactor code to share the calculation with the previous fix in __cycles_2_ns().

kernel.h: add BUILD_BUG() macro

2012-01-11T00:30:42Z

We can place this in definitions that we expect the compiler to remove by dead code elimination. If this assertion fails, we get a nice error message at build time. The GCC function attribute error("message") was added in version 4.3, so we define a new macro __linktime_error(message) to expand to this for GCC-4.3 and later. This will give us an error diagnostic from the compiler on the line that fails. For other compilers __linktime_error(message) expands to nothing, and we have to be content with a link time error, but at least we will still get a build error. BUILD_BUG() expands to the undefined function __build_bug_failed() and will fail at link time if the compiler ever emits code for it. On GCC-4.3 and later, attribute((error())) is used so that the failure will be noted at compile time instead.

x86: Panic on detection of stack overflow

2011-12-05T10:37:47Z

Currently, messages are just output on the detection of stack overflow, which is not sufficient for systems that need a high reliability. This is because in general the overflow may corrupt data, and the additional corruption may occur due to reading them unless systems stop. This patch adds the sysctl parameter kernel.panic_on_stackoverflow and causes a panic when detecting the overflows of kernel, IRQ and exception stacks except user stack according to the parameter. It is disabled by default. Signed-off-by: Mitsuo Hayasaka Cc: yrl.pp-manager.tt@hitachi.com Cc: Randy Dunlap Cc: "H.

module,bug: Add TAINT_OOT_MODULE flag for modules not built in-tree

2011-11-06T21:24:42Z

Use of the GPL or a compatible licence doesn't necessarily make the code any good. We already consider staging modules to be suspect, and this should also be true for out-of-tree modules which may receive very little review.
