commit 136f39ddc53db3bcee2befbe323a56d4fbf06da8 upstream.

The Linux Kernel contains some inline assembly source code which has
wrong asm register constraints in arch/ia64/include/asm/futex.h.

I observed this on Kernel 3.2.23 but it is also true on the most
recent Kernel 3.9-rc1.

File arch/ia64/include/asm/futex.h:

static inline int
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(u32 *uval, u32 __user *uaddr,
			      u32 oldval, u32 newval)
{
	if (!access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE, uaddr, sizeof(u32)))
		return -EFAULT;

	{
		register unsigned long r8 __asm ("r8");
		unsigned long prev;
		__asm__ __volatile__(
			"	mf;;					\n"
			"	mov %0=r0				\n"
			"	mov ar.ccv=%4;;				\n"
			"[1:]	cmpxchg4.acq %1=[%2],%3,ar.ccv		\n"
			"	.xdata4 \"__ex_table\", 1b-., 2f-.	\n"
			"[2:]"
			: "=r" (r8), "=r" (prev)
			: "r" (uaddr), "r" (newval),
			  "rO" ((long) (unsigned) oldval)
			: "memory");
		*uval = prev;
		return r8;
	}
}

The list of output registers is
			: "=r" (r8), "=r" (prev)
The constraint "=r" means that the GCC has to maintain that these vars
are in registers and contain valid info when the program flow leaves
the assembly block (output registers).
But "=r" also means that GCC can put them in registers that are used
as input registers. Input registers are uaddr, newval, oldval on the
example.
The second assembly instruction
			"	mov %0=r0				\n"
is the first one which writes to a register; it sets %0 to 0. %0 means
the first register operand; it is r8 here. (The r0 is read-only and
always 0 on the Itanium; it can be used if an immediate zero value is
needed.)
This instruction might overwrite one of the other registers which are
still needed.
Whether it really happens depends on how GCC decides what registers it
uses and how it optimizes the code.

The objdump utility can give us disassembly.
The futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() function is inline, so we have to
look for a module that uses the funtion. This is the
cmpxchg_futex_value_locked() function in
kernel/futex.c:

static int cmpxchg_futex_value_locked(u32 *curval, u32 __user *uaddr,
				      u32 uval, u32 newval)
{
	int ret;

	pagefault_disable();
	ret = futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(curval, uaddr, uval, newval);
	pagefault_enable();

	return ret;
}

Now the disassembly. At first from the Kernel package 3.2.23 which has
been compiled with GCC 4.4, remeber this Kernel seemed to work:
objdump -d linux-3.2.23/debian/build/build_ia64_none_mckinley/kernel/futex.o

      2cc:	00 00 04 00       	            nop.i 0x0;;
are the instructions of the assembly block.
The line
      2b6:	80 00 00 00 42 00 	            mov r8=r0
sets the r8 register to 0 and after that
      2c0:	0b 00 20 40 2a 04 	[MMI]       mov.m ar.ccv=r8;;
prepares the 'oldvalue' for the cmpxchg but it takes it from r8. This
is wrong.
What happened here is what I explained above: An input register is
overwritten which is still needed.
The register operand constraints in futex.h are wrong.

(The problem doesn't occur when the Kernel is compiled with GCC 4.6.)

The attached patch fixes the register operand constraints in futex.h.
The code after patching of it:

static inline int
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(u32 *uval, u32 __user *uaddr,
			      u32 oldval, u32 newval)
{
	if (!access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE, uaddr, sizeof(u32)))
		return -EFAULT;

	{
		register unsigned long r8 __asm ("r8") = 0;
		unsigned long prev;
		__asm__ __volatile__(
			"	mf;;					\n"
			"	mov ar.ccv=%4;;				\n"
			"[1:]	cmpxchg4.acq %1=[%2],%3,ar.ccv		\n"
			"	.xdata4 \"__ex_table\", 1b-., 2f-.	\n"
			"[2:]"
			: "+r" (r8), "=&amp;r" (prev)
			: "r" (uaddr), "r" (newval),
			  "rO" ((long) (unsigned) oldval)
			: "memory");
		*uval = prev;
		return r8;
	}
}

I also initialized the 'r8' var with the C programming language.
The _asm qualifier on the definition of the 'r8' var forces GCC to use
the r8 processor register for it.
I don't believe that we should use inline assembly for zeroing out a
local variable.
The constraint is
"+r" (r8)
what means that it is both an input register and an output register.
Note that the page fault handler will modify the r8 register which
will be the return value of the function.
The real fix is
"=&amp;r" (prev)
The &amp; means that GCC must not use any of the input registers to place
this output register in.

Patched the Kernel 3.2.23 and compiled it with GCC4.4:

Much better.
There is a

This is Debian bug#702641
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=702641).

The patch is applicable on Kernel 3.9-rc1, 3.2.23 and many other versions.

commit 136f39ddc53db3bcee2befbe323a56d4fbf06da8 upstream.

The Linux Kernel contains some inline assembly source code which has
wrong asm register constraints in arch/ia64/include/asm/futex.h.

I observed this on Kernel 3.2.23 but it is also true on the most
recent Kernel 3.9-rc1.

File arch/ia64/include/asm/futex.h:

static inline int
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(u32 *uval, u32 __user *uaddr,
			      u32 oldval, u32 newval)
{
	if (!access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE, uaddr, sizeof(u32)))
		return -EFAULT;

	{
		register unsigned long r8 __asm ("r8");
		unsigned long prev;
		__asm__ __volatile__(
			"	mf;;					\n"
			"	mov %0=r0				\n"
			"	mov ar.ccv=%4;;				\n"
			"[1:]	cmpxchg4.acq %1=[%2],%3,ar.ccv		\n"
			"	.xdata4 \"__ex_table\", 1b-., 2f-.	\n"
			"[2:]"
			: "=r" (r8), "=r" (prev)
			: "r" (uaddr), "r" (newval),
			  "rO" ((long) (unsigned) oldval)
			: "memory");
		*uval = prev;
		return r8;
	}
}

The list of output registers is
			: "=r" (r8), "=r" (prev)
The constraint "=r" means that the GCC has to maintain that these vars
are in registers and contain valid info when the program flow leaves
the assembly block (output registers).
But "=r" also means that GCC can put them in registers that are used
as input registers. Input registers are uaddr, newval, oldval on the
example.
The second assembly instruction
			"	mov %0=r0				\n"
is the first one which writes to a register; it sets %0 to 0. %0 means
the first register operand; it is r8 here. (The r0 is read-only and
always 0 on the Itanium; it can be used if an immediate zero value is
needed.)
This instruction might overwrite one of the other registers which are
still needed.
Whether it really happens depends on how GCC decides what registers it
uses and how it optimizes the code.

The objdump utility can give us disassembly.
The futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() function is inline, so we have to
look for a module that uses the funtion. This is the
cmpxchg_futex_value_locked() function in
kernel/futex.c:

static int cmpxchg_futex_value_locked(u32 *curval, u32 __user *uaddr,
				      u32 uval, u32 newval)
{
	int ret;

	pagefault_disable();
	ret = futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(curval, uaddr, uval, newval);
	pagefault_enable();

	return ret;
}

Now the disassembly. At first from the Kernel package 3.2.23 which has
been compiled with GCC 4.4, remeber this Kernel seemed to work:
objdump -d linux-3.2.23/debian/build/build_ia64_none_mckinley/kernel/futex.o

are the instructions of the assembly block.
The line
      2b6:	80 00 00 00 42 00 	            mov r8=r0
sets the r8 register to 0 and after that
      2c0:	0b 00 20 40 2a 04 	[MMI]       mov.m ar.ccv=r8;;
prepares the 'oldvalue' for the cmpxchg but it takes it from r8. This
is wrong.
What happened here is what I explained above: An input register is
overwritten which is still needed.
The register operand constraints in futex.h are wrong.

(The problem doesn't occur when the Kernel is compiled with GCC 4.6.)

The attached patch fixes the register operand constraints in futex.h.
The code after patching of it:

static inline int
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(u32 *uval, u32 __user *uaddr,
			      u32 oldval, u32 newval)
{
	if (!access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE, uaddr, sizeof(u32)))
		return -EFAULT;

	{
		register unsigned long r8 __asm ("r8") = 0;
		unsigned long prev;
		__asm__ __volatile__(
			"	mf;;					\n"
			"	mov ar.ccv=%4;;				\n"
			"[1:]	cmpxchg4.acq %1=[%2],%3,ar.ccv		\n"
			"	.xdata4 \"__ex_table\", 1b-., 2f-.	\n"
			"[2:]"
			: "+r" (r8), "=&amp;r" (prev)
			: "r" (uaddr), "r" (newval),
			  "rO" ((long) (unsigned) oldval)
			: "memory");
		*uval = prev;
		return r8;
	}
}

I also initialized the 'r8' var with the C programming language.
The _asm qualifier on the definition of the 'r8' var forces GCC to use
the r8 processor register for it.
I don't believe that we should use inline assembly for zeroing out a
local variable.
The constraint is
"+r" (r8)
what means that it is both an input register and an output register.
Note that the page fault handler will modify the r8 register which
will be the return value of the function.
The real fix is
"=&amp;r" (prev)
The &amp; means that GCC must not use any of the input registers to place
this output register in.

Patched the Kernel 3.2.23 and compiled it with GCC4.4:

Much better.
There is a

what means that oldval is no longer overwritten.

This is Debian bug#702641
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=702641).

The patch is applicable on Kernel 3.9-rc1, 3.2.23 and many other versions.

commit d303e9e98fce56cdb3c6f2ac92f626fc2bd51c77 upstream.

Back 2010 during a revamp of the irq code some initializations
were moved from ia64_mca_init() to ia64_mca_late_init() in

	commit c75f2aa13f5b268aba369b5dc566088b5194377c
	Cannot use register_percpu_irq() from ia64_mca_init()

But this was hideously wrong. First of all these initializations
are now down far too late. Specifically after all the other cpus
have been brought up and initialized their own CMC vectors from
smp_callin(). Also ia64_mca_late_init() may be called from any cpu
so the line:
	ia64_mca_cmc_vector_setup();       /* Setup vector on BSP */
is generally not executed on the BSP, and so the CMC vector isn't
setup at all on that processor.

Make use of the arch_early_irq_init() hook to get this code executed
at just the right moment: not too early, not too late.

Pull vfs pile (part one) from Al Viro:
 "Assorted stuff - cleaning namei.c up a bit, fixing -&gt;d_name/-&gt;d_parent
  locking violations, etc.

  The most visible changes here are death of FS_REVAL_DOT (replaced with
  "has -&gt;d_weak_revalidate()") and a new helper getting from struct file
  to inode.  Some bits of preparation to xattr method interface changes.

  Misc patches by various people sent this cycle *and* ocfs2 fixes from
  several cycles ago that should've been upstream right then.

  PS: the next vfs pile will be xattr stuff."

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (46 commits)
  saner proc_get_inode() calling conventions
  proc: avoid extra pde_put() in proc_fill_super()
  fs: change return values from -EACCES to -EPERM

Pull vfs pile (part one) from Al Viro:
 "Assorted stuff - cleaning namei.c up a bit, fixing -&gt;d_name/-&gt;d_parent
  locking violations, etc.

  The most visible changes here are death of FS_REVAL_DOT (replaced with
  "has -&gt;d_weak_revalidate()") and a new helper getting from struct file
  to inode.  Some bits of preparation to xattr method interface changes.

  Misc patches by various people sent this cycle *and* ocfs2 fixes from
  several cycles ago that should've been upstream right then.

  PS: the next vfs pile will be xattr stuff."

Pull signal handling cleanups from Al Viro:
 "This is the first pile; another one will come a bit later and will
  contain SYSCALL_DEFINE-related patches.

   - a bunch of signal-related syscalls (both native and compat)
     unified.

   - a bunch of compat syscalls switched to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE
     (fixing several potential problems with missing argument
     validation, while we are at it)

   - a lot of now-pointless wrappers killed

   - a couple of architectures (cris and hexagon) forgot to save
     altstack settings into sigframe, even though they used the
     (uninitialized) values in sigreturn; fixed.

   - microblaze fixes for delivery of multiple signals arriving at once

   - saner set of helpers for signal delivery introduced, several
     architectures switched to using those."
