serial: set correct baud_base for EXSYS EX-41092 Dual 16950

2012-10-07T15:35:53+00:00

commit 26e8220adb0aec43b7acafa0f1431760eee28522 upstream.

Apparently the same card model has two IDs, so this patch
complements the commit 39aced68d664291db3324d0fcf0985ab5626aac2
adding the missing one.

kthread_worker: reimplement flush_kthread_work() to allow freeing the work item being executed

2012-10-02T17:40:02+00:00

commit 46f3d976213452350f9d10b0c2780c2681f7075b upstream.

kthread_worker provides minimalistic workqueue-like interface for
users which need a dedicated worker thread (e.g. for realtime
priority).  It has basic queue, flush_work, flush_worker operations
which mostly match the workqueue counterparts; however, due to the way
flush_work() is implemented, it has a noticeable difference of not
allowing work items to be freed while being executed.

While the current users of kthread_worker are okay with the current
behavior, the restriction does impede some valid use cases.  Also,
removing this difference isn't difficult and actually makes the code
easier to understand.

This patch reimplements flush_kthread_work() such that it uses a
flush_work item instead of queue/done sequence numbers.

time: Move ktime_t overflow checking into timespec_valid_strict

2012-10-02T17:39:48+00:00

commit cee58483cf56e0ba355fdd97ff5e8925329aa936 upstream.

Andreas Bombe reported that the added ktime_t overflow checking added to
timespec_valid in commit 4e8b14526ca7 ("time: Improve sanity checking of
timekeeping inputs") was causing problems with X.org because it caused
timeouts larger then KTIME_T to be invalid.

Previously, these large timeouts would be clamped to KTIME_MAX and would
never expire, which is valid.

This patch splits the ktime_t overflow checking into a new
timespec_valid_strict function, and converts the timekeeping codes
internal checking to use this more strict function.

time: Improve sanity checking of timekeeping inputs

2012-10-02T17:39:48+00:00

commit 4e8b14526ca7fb046a81c94002c1c43b6fdf0e9b upstream.

Unexpected behavior could occur if the time is set to a value large
enough to overflow a 64bit ktime_t (which is something larger then the
year 2262).

Also unexpected behavior could occur if large negative offsets are
injected via adjtimex.

So this patch improves the sanity check timekeeping inputs by
improving the timespec_valid() check, and then makes better use of
timespec_valid() to make sure we don't set the time to an invalid
negative value or one that overflows ktime_t.

Note: This does not protect from setting the time close to overflowing
ktime_t and then letting natural accumulation cause the overflow.

sched: Fix race in task_group()

2012-10-02T17:39:47+00:00

commit 8323f26ce3425460769605a6aece7a174edaa7d1 upstream.

Stefan reported a crash on a kernel before a3e5d1091c1 ("sched:
Don't call task_group() too many times in set_task_rq()"), he
found the reason to be that the multiple task_group()
invocations in set_task_rq() returned different values.

Looking at all that I found a lack of serialization and plain
wrong comments.

The below tries to fix it using an extra pointer which is
updated under the appropriate scheduler locks. Its not pretty,
but I can't really see another way given how all the cgroup
stuff works.

NFS: Fix the initialisation of the readdir 'cookieverf' array

2012-10-02T17:39:27+00:00

commit c3f52af3e03013db5237e339c817beaae5ec9e3a upstream.

When the NFS_COOKIEVERF helper macro was converted into a static
inline function in commit 99fadcd764 (nfs: convert NFS_*(inode)
helpers to static inline), we broke the initialisation of the
readdir cookies, since that depended on doing a memset with an
argument of 'sizeof(NFS_COOKIEVERF(inode))' which therefore
changed from sizeof(be32 cookieverf[2]) to sizeof(be32 *).

At this point, NFS_COOKIEVERF seems to be more of an obfuscation
than a helper, so the best thing would be to just get rid of it.

perf/x86/ibs: Check syscall attribute flags

2012-10-02T17:39:25+00:00

commit bad9ac2d7f878a31cf1ae8c1ee3768077d222bcb upstream.

Current implementation simply ignores attribute flags. Thus, there is
no notification to userland of unsupported features. Check syscall's
attribute flags to let userland know if a feature is supported by the
kernel. This is also needed to distinguish between future kernels what
might support a feature.

c/r: prctl: fix build error for no-MMU case

2012-10-02T17:39:24+00:00

commit be8cfc4af15cf611dfeb66a1fb5df43d5f1e280a upstream.

Commit 1ad75b9e1628 ("c/r: prctl: add minimal address test to
PR_SET_MM") added some address checking to prctl_set_mm() used by
checkpoint-restore.  This causes a build error for no-MMU systems:

   kernel/sys.c: In function 'prctl_set_mm':
   kernel/sys.c:1868:34: error: 'mmap_min_addr' undeclared (first use in this function)

The test for mmap_min_addr doesn't make a lot of sense for no-MMU code
as noted in commit 6e1415467614 ("NOMMU: Optimise away the
{dac_,}mmap_min_addr tests").

This patch defines mmap_min_addr as 0UL in the no-MMU case so that the
compiler will optimize away tests for "addr < mmap_min_addr".

mm/ia64: fix a memory block size bug

2012-10-02T17:39:12+00:00

commit 05cf96398e1b6502f9e191291b715c7463c9d5dd upstream.

I found following definition in include/linux/memory.h, in my IA64
platform, SECTION_SIZE_BITS is equal to 32, and MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE
will be 0.

  #define MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE     (1 << SECTION_SIZE_BITS)

Because MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE is int type and length of 32bits,
so MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE(1 << 32) will will equal to 0.
Actually when SECTION_SIZE_BITS >= 31, MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE will be wrong.
This will cause wrong system memory infomation in sysfs.
I think it should be:

  #define MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE     (1UL << SECTION_SIZE_BITS)

And "echo offline > memory0/state" will cause following call trace:

mISDN: Fix wrong usage of flush_work_sync while holding locks

2012-10-02T17:39:12+00:00

commit 4b921eda53366b319602351ff4d7256fafa4bd1b upstream.

It is a bad idea to hold a spinlock and call flush_work_sync.
Move the workqueue cleanup outside the spinlock and use cancel_work_sync,
on closing the channel this seems to be the more correct function.
Remove the never used and constant return value of mISDN_freebchannel.
