commit b25bfda38236f349cde0d1b28952f4eea2148d3f upstream.

don't do aggregation related stuff for 'AP mode client power save
handling' if aggregation is not enabled in the driver, otherwise it
will lead to panic because those data structures won't be never
intialized in 'ath_tx_node_init' if aggregation is disabled

ptrace: ensure JOBCTL_STOP_SIGMASK is not zero after detach

commit 8a88951b5878dc475dcd841cefc767e36397d14e upstream.

This is the temporary simple fix for 3.2, we need more changes in this
area.

1. do_signal_stop() assumes that the running untraced thread in the
   stopped thread group is not possible. This was our goal but it is
   not yet achieved: a stopped-but-resumed tracee can clone the running
   thread which can initiate another group-stop.

   Remove WARN_ON_ONCE(!current->ptrace).

2. A new thread always starts with ->jobctl = 0. If it is auto-attached
   and this group is stopped, __ptrace_unlink() sets JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING
   but JOBCTL_STOP_SIGMASK part is zero, this triggers WANR_ON(!signr)
   in do_jobctl_trap() if another debugger attaches.

   Change __ptrace_unlink() to set the artificial SIGSTOP for report.

   Alternatively we could change ptrace_init_task() to copy signr from
   current, but this means we can copy it for no reason and hide the
   possible similar problems.

ptrace: partially fix the do_wait(WEXITED) vs EXIT_DEAD->EXIT_ZOMBIE race
2012-01-06T22:17:34+00:00

9e83ca1fcff0eee2ea7ef2508de95691a0cdeb0c

commit 50b8d257486a45cba7b65ca978986ed216bbcc10 upstream.

Test-case:

	int main(void)
	{
		int pid, status;

		pid = fork();
		if (!pid) {
			for (;;) {
				if (!fork())
					return 0;
				if (waitpid(-1, &status, 0) < 0) {
					printf("ERR!! wait: %m\n");
					return 0;
				}
			}
		}

		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, 0,0) == 0);
		assert(waitpid(-1, NULL, 0) == pid);

		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, 0,
					PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK) == 0);

		do {
			ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, 0, 0);
			pid = waitpid(-1, NULL, 0);
		} while (pid > 0);

		return 1;
	}

It fails because ->real_parent sees its child in EXIT_DEAD state
while the tracer is going to change the state back to EXIT_ZOMBIE
in wait_task_zombie().

The offending commit is 823b018e which moved the EXIT_DEAD check,
but in fact we should not blame it. The original code was not
correct as well because it didn't take ptrace_reparented() into
account and because we can't really trust ->ptrace.

This patch adds the additional check to close this particular
race but it doesn't solve the whole problem. We simply can't
rely on ->ptrace in this case, it can be cleared if the tracer
is multithreaded by the exiting ->parent.

I think we should kill EXIT_DEAD altogether, we should always
remove the soon-to-be-reaped child from ->children or at least
we should never do the DEAD->ZOMBIE transition. But this is too
complex for 3.2.

commit 157e8bf8b4823bfcdefa6c1548002374b61f61df upstream.

This reverts commit c0afabd3d553c521e003779c127143ffde55a16f.

It causes failures on Toshiba laptops - instead of disabling the alarm,
it actually seems to enable it on the affected laptops, resulting in
(for example) the laptop powering on automatically five minutes after
shutdown.

There's a patch for it that appears to work for at least some people,
but it's too late to play around with this, so revert for now and try
again in the next merge window.

See for example

commit 96f1f05af76b601ab21a7dc603ae0a1cea4efc3d upstream.

Since we configure all the queues as CHAINABLE, we need to update the
byte count for all the queues, not only the AGGREGATABLE ones.
