2009-07-21x86, intel_txt: Intel TXT boot supportJoseph Cihula
This patch adds kernel configuration and boot support for Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT). Intel's technology for safer computing, Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT), defines platform-level enhancements that provide the building blocks for creating trusted platforms. Intel TXT was formerly known by the code name LaGrande Technology (LT). Intel TXT in Brief: o Provides dynamic root of trust for measurement (DRTM) o Data protection in case of improper shutdown o Measurement and verification of launched environment Intel TXT is part of the vPro(TM) brand and is also available some non-vPro systems. It is currently available on desktop systems based on the Q35, X38, Q45, and Q43 Express chipsets (e.g. Dell Optiplex 755, HP dc7800, etc.) and mobile systems based on the GM45, PM45, and GS45 Express chipsets. For more information, see http://www.intel.com/technology/security/. This site also has a link to the Intel TXT MLE Developers Manual, which has been updated for the new released platforms. A much more complete description of how these patches support TXT, how to configure a system for it, etc. is in the Documentation/intel_txt.txt file in this patch. This patch provides the TXT support routines for complete functionality, documentation for TXT support and for the changes to the boot_params structure, and boot detection of a TXT launch. Attempts to shutdown (reboot, Sx) the system will result in platform resets; subsequent patches will support these shutdown modes properly.

2009-07-20mvsdio: fix handling of partial word at the end of PIO transferNicolas Pitre
Standard data flow for MMC/SD/SDIO cards requires that the mvsdio controller be set for big endian operation. This is causing problems with buffers which length is not a multiple of 4 bytes as the last partial word doesn't get shifted all the way and stored properly in memory. Let's compensate for this.

2009-07-20specialix.c: convert nested spin_lock_irqsave to spin_lockJulia Lawall
If spin_lock_irqsave is called twice in a row with the same second argument, the interrupt state at the point of the second call overwrites the value saved by the first call. Indeed, the second call does not need to save the interrupt state, so it is changed to a simple spin_lock. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @@ expression lock1,lock2; expression flags; @@ *spin_lock_irqsave(lock1,flags) ... when != flags *spin_lock_irqsave(lock2,flags) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2009-07-18vmlinux.lds.h: restructure BSS linker script macrosTim Abbott
The BSS section macros in vmlinux.lds.h currently place the .sbss input section outside the bounds of [__bss_start, __bss_end]. On all architectures except for microblaze that handle both .sbss and __bss_start/__bss_end, this is wrong: the .sbss input section is within the range [__bss_start, __bss_end]. Relatedly, the example code at the top of the file actually has __bss_start/__bss_end defined twice; I believe the right fix here is to define them in the BSS_SECTION macro but not in the BSS macro. Another problem with the current macros is that several architectures have an ALIGN(4) or some other small number just before __bss_stop in their linker scripts. The BSS_SECTION macro currently hardcodes this to 4; while it should really be an argument. It also ignores its sbss_align argument; fix that. mn10300 is the only user at present of any of the macros touched by this patch. It looks like mn10300 actually was incorrectly converted to use the new BSS() macro (the alignment of 4 prior to conversion was a __bss_stop alignment, but the argument to the BSS macro is a start alignment). So fix this as well. I'd like acks from Sam and David on this one. Also CCing Paul, since he has a patch from me which will need to be updated to use BSS_SECTION(0, PAGE_SIZE, 4) once this gets merged.

2009-07-16tracing/function: Fix the return value of ftrace_trace_onoff_callback()Xiao Guangrong
ftrace_trace_onoff_callback() will return an error even if we do the right operation, for example: # echo _spin_*:traceon:10 > set_ftrace_filter -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument # cat set_ftrace_filter #### all functions enabled #### _spin_trylock_bh:traceon:count=10 _spin_unlock_irq:traceon:count=10 _spin_unlock_bh:traceon:count=10 _spin_lock_irq:traceon:count=10 _spin_unlock:traceon:count=10 _spin_trylock:traceon:count=10 _spin_unlock_irqrestore:traceon:count=10 _spin_lock_irqsave:traceon:count=10 _spin_lock_bh:traceon:count=10 _spin_lock:traceon:count=10 We want to set _spin_*:traceon:10 to set_ftrace_filter, it complains with "Invalid argument", but the operation is successful. This is because ftrace_process_regex() returns the number of functions that matched the pattern. If the number is not 0, this value is returned by ftrace_regex_write() whereas we want to return the number of bytes virtually written. Also the file offset pointer is not updated in this case. If the number of matched functions is lower than the number of bytes written by the user, this results to a reprocessing of the string given by the user with a lower size, leading to a malformed ftrace regex and then a -EINVAL returned. So, this patch fixes it by returning 0 if no error occured. The fix also applies on 2.6.30 Signed-off-by: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@cn.fujitsu.com> Reviewed-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>

2009-07-16n_tty: Fix echo raceAlan Cox
If a tty in N_TTY mode with echo enabled manages to get itself into a state where - echo characters are pending - FASYNC is enabled - tty_write_wakeup is called from either - a device write path (pty) - an IRQ (serial) then it either deadlocks or explodes taking a mutex in the IRQ path. On the serial side it is almost impossible to reproduce because you have to go from a full serial port to a near empty one with echo characters pending. The pty case happens to have become possible to trigger using emacs and ptys, the pty changes having created a scenario which shows up this bug. The code path is n_tty:process_echoes() (takes mutex) tty_io:tty_put_char() pty:pty_write (or serial paths) tty_wakeup (from pty_write or serial IRQ) n_tty_write_wakeup() process_echoes() *KABOOM* Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2009-07-16vt: drop bootmem/slab memory distinctionJohannes Weiner
Bootmem is not used for the vt screen buffer anymore as slab is now available at the time the console is initialized. Get rid of the now superfluous distinction between slab and bootmem, it's always slab. This also fixes a kmalloc leak which Catalin described thusly: Commit a5f4f52e ("vt: use kzalloc() instead of the bootmem allocator") replaced the alloc_bootmem() with kzalloc() but didn't set vc_kmalloced to 1 and the memory block is later leaked.

2009-07-16serial: don't add msm_serial's probe function to the driver structUwe Kleine-König
msm_serial_driver is registered using platform_driver_probe which takes care for the probe function itself. So don't pass it in the driver struct, too.

2009-07-16tty: fix close/hangup raceAlan Cox
We can get a situation where a hangup occurs during or after a close. In that case the ldisc gets disposed of by the close and the hangup then explodes. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2009-07-16Add '-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks' to gcc CFLAGSEugene Teo
Turning on this flag could prevent the compiler from optimising away some "useless" checks for null pointers. Such bugs can sometimes become exploitable at compile time because of the -O2 optimisation. See http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.1.2/gcc/Optimize-Options.html An example that clearly shows this 'problem' is commit 6bf67672. static void __devexit agnx_pci_remove(struct pci_dev *pdev) { struct ieee80211_hw *dev = pci_get_drvdata(pdev); - struct agnx_priv *priv = dev->priv; + struct agnx_priv *priv; AGNX_TRACE; if (!dev) return; + priv = dev->priv; By reverting this patch, and compile it with and without -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks flag, we can see that the check for dev is compiled away. call printk # - testq %r12, %r12 # dev - je .L94 #, movq %r12, %rdi # dev, Clearly the 'fix' is to stop using dev before it is tested, but building with -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks flag at least makes it harder to abuse.
