there's a new ptrace arch level feature in .28:
config X86_PTRACE_BTS
bool "Branch Trace Store"
it has broken fork() handling: the old DS area gets copied over into
a new task without clearing it.
Fixes exist but they came too late:
c5dee61: x86, bts: memory accounting
bf53de9: x86, bts: add fork and exit handling
and are queued up for v2.6.29. This shows that the facility is still not
tested well enough to release into a stable kernel - disable it for now and
reactivate in .29. In .29 the hardware-branch-tracer will use the DS/BTS
facilities too - hopefully resulting in better code.

flush_tlb_mm's "optimized" uniprocessor case of allocating a new
context for userspace is exposing a race where we can suddely return
to a syscall with the protection id and space id out of sync, trapping
on the next userspace access.

When deleting an edac device, we have to wait for its edac_dev.work to be
completed before deleting the whole edac_dev structure. Since we have no
idea which work in current edac_poller's workqueue is the work we are
conerned about, we wait for all work in the edac_poller's workqueue to be
proceseed. This is done via flush_cpu_workqueue() which inserts a
wq_barrier into the tail of the workqueue and then sleeping on the
completion of this wq_barrier. The edac_poller will wake up sleepers when
it is found.
EDAC core creates only one kernel worker thread, edac_poller, to run the
works of all current edac devices. They share the same callback function
of edac_device_workq_function(), which would grab the mutex of
device_ctls_mutex first before it checks the device. This is exactly
where edac_poller and rmmod would have a great chance to deadlock.
In below call trace of rmmod > ... >
edac_device_del_device >
edac_device_workq_teardown > flush_workqueue > flush_cpu_workqueue,
device_ctls_mutex would have already been grabbed by
edac_device_del_device(). So, on one hand rmmod would sleep on the
completion of a wq_barrier, holding device_ctls_mutex; on the other hand
edac_poller would be blocked on the same mutex when it's running any one
of works of existing edac evices(Note, this edac_dev.work is likely to be
totally irrelevant to the one that is being removed right now)and never
would have a chance to run the work of above wq_barrier to wake rmmod up.
edac_device_workq_teardown() should not be called within the critical
region of device_ctls_mutex. Just like is done in edac_pci_del_device()
and edac_mc_del_mc(), where edac_pci_workq_teardown() and
edac_mc_workq_teardown() are called after related mutex are released.
Moreover, an edac_dev.work should check first if it is being removed. If
this is the case, then it should bail out immediately. Since not all of
existing edac devices are to be removed, this "shutting flag" should be
contained to edac device being removed. The current edac_dev.op_state can
be used to serve this purpose.
The original deadlock problem and the solution have been witnessed and
tested on actual hardware. Without the solution, rmmod an edac driver
would result in below deadlock:
root@localhost:/root> rmmod mv64x60_edac

Impact: Prevent kernel crash with posix timer clockid CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
commit 2d42244ae71d6c7b0884b5664cf2eda30fb2ae68 (clocksource:
introduce CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW) introduced a new clockid, which is only
available to read out the raw not NTP adjusted system time.
The above commit did not prevent that a posix timer can be created
with that clockid. The timer_create() syscall succeeds and initializes
the timer to a non existing hrtimer base. When the timer is deleted
either by timer_delete() or by the exit() cleanup the kernel crashes.
Prevent the creation of timers for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW by setting the
posix clock function to no_timer_create which returns an error code.

Impact: fix deadlock
This is in response to the following bug report:
Bug-Entry : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12100
Subject : resume (S2R) broken by Intel microcode module, on A110L
Submitter : Andreas Mohr <andi@lisas.de>
Date : 2008-11-25 08:48 (19 days old)
Handled-By : Dmitry Adamushko <dmitry.adamushko@gmail.com>
[ The deadlock scenario has been discovered by Andreas Mohr ]
I think I might have a logical explanation why the system:
(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12100)
might hang upon resuming, OTOH it should have likely hanged each and every time.
(1) possible deadlock in microcode_resume_cpu() if either 'if' section is
taken;
(2) now, I don't see it in spec. and can't experimentally verify it (newer
ucodes don't seem to be available for my Core2duo)... but logically-wise, I'd
think that when read upon resuming, the 'microcode revision' (MSR 0x8B) should
be back to its original one (we need to reload ucode anyway so it doesn't seem
logical if a cpu doesn't drop the version)... if so, the comparison with
memcmp() for the full 'struct cpu_signature' is wrong... and that's how one of
the aforementioned 'if' sections might have been triggered - leading to a
deadlock.
Obviously, in my tests I simulated loading/resuming with the ucode of the same
version (just to see that the file is loaded/re-loaded upon resuming) so this
issue has never popped up.
I'd appreciate if someone with an appropriate system might give a try to the
2nd patch (titled "fix a comparison && deadlock...").
In any case, the deadlock situation is a must-have fix.

The previous commit re-enabled hp_nid setup for IDT92HD73*, but
it's unneeded indeed for Dell laptops that have multiple headphones.
Setting the extra hp_nid results in a non-working "Headpohne" mixer
control. Thus hp_nid should be 0 for these dell models.
Also, the automatic addition of hp_nid should check whether it's
a dual-HP model or not. For dual-HPs, the pins are already checked
by the early workaround.

acpi_early_init() was changed to over-write the cmdline param,
making it really inconvenient to set debug flags at boot-time.
Also,
This sets the default level to "info", which is what all the ACPI
drivers use. So to enable messages from drivers, you only have to
supply the "layer" (a.k.a. "component"). For non-"info" ACPI core
and ACPI interpreter messages, you have to supply both level and
layer masks, as before.

Fix problem that deleting multiple logical drives could cause a panic.
It fixes a panic which can be easily reproduced in the following way: Just
create several "arrays," each with multiple logical drives via hpacucli,
then delete the first array, and it will blow up in deregister_disk(), in
the call to get_host() when it tries to dig the hba pointer out of a NULL
queue pointer.
The problem has been present since my code to make rebuild_lun_table

When we read the write-intent-bitmap off the device, we currently
read a whole number of pages.
When PAGE_SIZE is 4K, this works due to the alignment we enforce
on the superblock and bitmap.
When PAGE_SIZE is 64K, this case read past the end-of-device
which causes an error.
When we write the superblock, we ensure to clip the last page
to just be the required size. Copy that code into the read path
to just read the required number of sectors.

This patch fixes a segfault in ppp_shutdown_interface() and

The original ppp_generic code treated the netdev and struct ppp as
independent data structures which were freed separately. In moving the
ppp struct into the netdev, it is now possible for the private data to
be freed before the call to ppp_shutdown_interface(), which is bad.
The kfree(ppp) in ppp_destroy_interface() is also wrong; presumably
ppp hasn't worked since the above commit.
The following patch fixes both problems.

I happened to notice that the ibmphp hotplug driver does something
rather silly in its init routine. It purposely calls module_put so as
to underflow its module ref count to avoid being removed from the
kernel. This is bad practice, and wrong, since it provides a window for
subsequent module_gets to reset the refcount to zero, allowing an unload
to race in and cause all sorts of mysterious panics. If the module is
unsafe to load, simply omitting the module_exit parameter is sufficient
to prevent the kernel from allowing the unload.
