[POWERPC] Fix performance regression in IRQ radix tree locking
When reworking the powerpc irq code, I figured out that we were using
the radix tree in a racy way. As a temporary fix, I put a spinlock in
there. However, this can have a significant impact on performances. This
patch reworks that to use a smarter technique based on the fact that
what we need is in fact a rwlock with extremely rare writers (thus
optimized for the read path).

Alright, this one is only triggered when slab debugging is enabled. The
slabs are assumed to be aligned on a HUGEPTE_TABLE_SIZE boundary. The free
path makes use of this assumption and uses the lowest nibble to pass around
an index into an array of kmem_cache pointers. With slab debugging turned
on, the slab is still aligned, but the "working" object pointer is not.
This would break the assumption above that a full nibble is available for
the PGF_CACHENUM_MASK.
The following patch reduces PGF_CACHENUM_MASK to cover only the two least
significant bits, which is enough to cover the current number of 4 pgtable
cache types. Then use this constant to mask out the appropriate part of
the huge pte pointer.

When we get an illegal instruction exception, we check to see whether

[POWERPC] Fix gettimeofday inaccuracies
There are two problems in the powerpc gettimeofday code which can
cause incorrect results to be returned.
The first is that there is a race between do_gettimeofday and the
timer interrupt:
1. do_gettimeofday does get_tb()
2. decrementer exception on boot cpu which runs timer_recalc_offset,
which also samples the timebase and updates the do_gtod structure
with a greater timebase value.
3. do_gettimeofday calls __do_gettimeofday, which leads to the
negative result from tb_val - temp_varp->tb_orig_stamp.
The second is caused by taking the boot cpu offline, which can cause
the value of tb_last_jiffy to be increased past the currently
available timebase, causing the same underflow as above.

[POWERPC] kprobes: Fix possible system crash during out-of-line single-stepping
- On archs that have no-exec support, we vmalloc() a executable scratch
area of PAGE_SIZE and divide it up into an array of slots of maximum
instruction size for that arch
- On a kprobe registration, the original instruction is copied to the
first available free slot, so if multiple kprobes are registered, chances
are, they get contiguous slots
- On POWER4, due to not having coherent icaches, we could hit a situation
where a probe that is registered on one processor, is hit immediately on
another. This second processor could have fetched the stream of text from
the out-of-line single-stepping area *before* the probe registration
completed, possibly due to an earlier (and a different) kprobe hit and
hence would see stale data at the slot.
Executing such an arbitrary instruction lead to a problem as reported
in LTC bugzilla 23555.
The correct solution is to call flush_icache_range() as soon as the
instruction is copied for out-of-line single-stepping, so the correct
instruction is seen on all processors.

[PATCH] ptrace: make pid of child process available for PTRACE_EVENT_VFORK_DONE
When delivering PTRACE_EVENT_VFORK_DONE, provide pid of the child process
when tracer calls ptrace(PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG). This is already
(accidentally) available when the tracer is tracing VFORK in addition to
VFORK_DONE.

[PATCH] md: Fix a bug that recently crept into md/linear
A recent patch that allowed linear arrays to be reconfigured on-line
allowed in a bug which results in divide by zero - not all
mddev->array_size were converted to conf->array_size.
This patch finished the conversion and fixed the bug.

ufs_get_locked_page is called twice in ufs code, one time in ufs_truncate
path(we allocated last block), and another time when fragments are
reallocated. In ideal world in the second case on allocation/free block
layer we should not know that things like `truncate' exists, but now with
such crutch like ufs_get_locked_page we can (or should?) skip truncated
pages.
As discussed earlier:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/6/28/136
this patch fixes such issue:
`ufs_get_locked_page' takes page from cache
after that `vmtruncate' takes page and deletes it from cache
`ufs_get_locked_page' locks page, and reports about EIO error.
Also because of find_lock_page always return valid page or NULL, we have no
need to check it if page not NULL.
static int unqueue_me(struct futex_q *q)
{
int ret = 0;
spinlock_t *lock_ptr;
/* In the common case we don't take the spinlock, which is nice. */
retry:
lock_ptr = q->lock_ptr;
if (lock_ptr != 0) {
spin_lock(lock_ptr);
/*
* q->lock_ptr can change between reading it and
* spin_lock(), causing us to take the wrong lock. This
* corrects the race condition.
[...]
and my compiler (gcc 4.1.0) makes the following out of it:
00000000000003c8 <unqueue_me>:
3c8: eb bf f0 70 00 24 stmg %r11,%r15,112(%r15)

3e8: e3 e0 f0 98 00 24 stg %r14,152(%r15)
3ee: e3 c0 b0 28 00 04 lg %r12,40(%r11)
/* write q->lock_ptr in r12 */
3f4: b9 02 00 cc ltgr %r12,%r12
3f8: a7 84 00 4b je 48e <unqueue_me+0xc6>
/* if r12 is zero then jump over the code.... */
3fc: e3 20 b0 28 00 04 lg %r2,40(%r11)
/* write q->lock_ptr in r2 */
402: c0 e5 00 00 00 00 brasl %r14,402 <unqueue_me+0x3a>
404: R_390_PC32DBL _spin_lock+0x2
/* use r2 as parameter for spin_lock */
So the code becomes more or less:
if (q->lock_ptr != 0) spin_lock(q->lock_ptr)
instead of
if (lock_ptr != 0) spin_lock(lock_ptr)
Which caused the oops from above.
After adding a barrier gcc creates code without this problem:
[...] (the same)
3ee: e3 c0 b0 28 00 04 lg %r12,40(%r11)
3f4: b9 02 00 cc ltgr %r12,%r12
3f8: b9 04 00 2c lgr %r2,%r12
3fc: a7 84 00 48 je 48c <unqueue_me+0xc4>
400: c0 e5 00 00 00 00 brasl %r14,400 <unqueue_me+0x38>
402: R_390_PC32DBL _spin_lock+0x2
As a general note, this code of unqueue_me seems a bit fishy. The retry logic
of unqueue_me only works if we can guarantee, that the original value of
q->lock_ptr is always a spinlock (Otherwise we overwrite kernel memory). We
know that q->lock_ptr can change. I dont know what happens with the original
spinlock, as I am not an expert with the futex code.

[PATCH] Make suspend possible with a traced process at a breakpoint
It should be possible to suspend, either to RAM or to disk, if there's a
traced process that has just reached a breakpoint. However, this is a
special case, because its parent process might have been frozen already and
then we are unable to deliver the "freeze" signal to the traced process.
If this happens, it's better to cancel the freezing of the traced process.

[LAPB]: Fix windowsize check
In bug #6954, Norbert Reinartz reported the following issue:
"Function lapb_setparms() in file net/lapb/lapb_iface.c checks if the given
parameters are valid. If the given window size is in the range of 8 .. 127,
lapb_setparms() fails and returns an error value of LAPB_INVALUE, even if bit
LAPB_EXTENDED in parms->mode is set.
If bit LAPB_EXTENDED in parms->mode is set and the window size is in the range
of 8 .. 127, the first check "(parms->mode & LAPB_EXTENDED)" results true and
the second check "(parms->window < 1 || parms->window > 127)" results false.
Both checks in conjunction result to false, thus the third check "(parms->window
< 1 || parms->window > 7)" is done by fault.
This third check results true, so that we leave lapb_setparms() by 'goto out_put'.
Seems that this bug doesn't cause any problems, because lapb_setparms() isn't
used to change the default values of LAPB. We are using kernel lapb in our
software project and also change the default parameters of lapb, so we found
this bug"

[PKT_SCHED] RED: Fix overflow in calculation of queue average
Overflow can occur very easily with 32 bits, e.g., with 1 second
us_idle is approx. 2^20, which leaves only 11-Wlog bits for queue
length. Since the EWMA exponent is typically around 9, queue
lengths larger than 2^2 cause overflow. Whether the affected
branch is taken when us_idle is as high as 1 second, depends on
Scell_log, but with rather reasonable configuration Scell_log is
large enough to cause p->Stab to have zero index, which always
results zero shift (typically also few other small indices result
in zero shift).

The datagram interface of LLC is broken in a couple of ways.
These were discovered when trying to use it to build an out-of-kernel
version of STP.
First it didn't pass the source address of the received packet
in recvfrom(). It needs to copy the source address of received LLC packets
into the socket control block. At the same time fix a security issue
because there was uninitialized data leakage. Every recvfrom call
was just copying out old data.
Second, LLC should not merge multiple packets in one receive call
on datagram sockets. LLC should preserve packet boundaries on
SOCK_DGRAM.
This fix goes against the old historical comments about UNIX98 semantics
but without this fix SOCK_DGRAM is broken and useless. So either ANK's
interpretation was incorect or UNIX98 standard was wrong.
