}

Even though tx_ring is updated before the if statement in bnx2_tx_int() in
program order, it can be re-ordered by the CPU as shown above.  This
scenario can cause the tx queue to be stopped forever if bnx2_tx_int() has
just freed up the entire tx_ring.  The possibility of this happening
should be very rare though.

The following changes are made, very much identical to the tg3 fix:

1. Add memory barrier to fix the above race condition.

2. Eliminate the private tx_lock altogether and rely solely on
netif_tx_lock.  This eliminates one spinlock in bnx2_start_xmit()
when the ring is full.

3. Because of 2, use netif_tx_lock in bnx2_tx_int() before calling
netif_wake_queue().

4. Add memory barrier to bnx2_tx_avail().

5. Add bp->tx_wake_thresh which is set to half the tx ring size.

6. Check for the full wake queue condition before getting
netif_tx_lock in tg3_tx().  This reduces the number of unnecessary
spinlocks when the tx ring is full in a steady-state condition.

[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] PATCH: 1 line 2.6.18 bugfix: modpost-64bit-fix.patch

There is a small but annoying bug in scripts/mod/file2alias.c which causes
it to generate invalid aliases for input devices on 64 bit archs. This causes
joydev.ko to not be automaticly loaded when inserting a joystick, resulting in
a non working joystick (for the average user).

In scripts/mod/file2alias.c is the following code for generating the input
aliases:
static void do_input(char *alias,
                     kernel_ulong_t *arr, unsigned int min, unsigned int max)
{
        unsigned int i;

        for (i = min; i < max; i++)
                if (arr[i / BITS_PER_LONG] & (1 << (i%BITS_PER_LONG)))
                        sprintf(alias + strlen(alias), "%X,*", i);
}

On 32 bits systems, this correctly generates "0,*" for the first alias, "8,*"
for the second etc.

However on 64 bits it generates: "0,*20,*" resp "8,*28,*" Notice how it adds 20
+ first entry (hex) ! to the list of hex codes, which is 32 more then the first
entry, thus is because the bit test above wraps at 32 bits instead of 64.

scripts/mod/file2alias.c, line 379 reads:
                if (arr[i / BITS_PER_LONG] & (1 << (i%BITS_PER_LONG)))
That should be:
                if (arr[i / BITS_PER_LONG] & (1L << (i%BITS_PER_LONG)))

Notice the added 'L' after the 1, otherwise that is an 32 bit int instead of a
64 bit long, and when that int gets shifted >= 32 times, appearantly the number
by which to shift is wrapped at 5 bits ( % 32) causing it to test a bit 32 bits
too low.

18 years ago[PATCH] futex_handle_fault always fails
john stultz [Mon, 14 Aug 2006 06:24:24 +0000 (23:24 -0700)]
[PATCH] futex_handle_fault always fails

We found this issue last week w/ the -RT kernel, but it seems the same
issue is in mainline as well.

Basically it is possible for futex_unlock_pi to return without actually
freeing the lock.  This is due to buggy logic in the use of
futex_handle_fault() and its attempt argument in a failure case.

Looking at futex.c the logic is as follows:

1) In futex_unlock_pi() we start w/ ret=0 and we go down to the first
   futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(), where we find uval==-EFAULT.  We then
   jump to the pi_faulted label.

2) From pi_faulted: We increment attempt, unlock the sem and hit the
   retry label.

3) From the retry label, with ret still zero, we again hit EFAULT on the
   first futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(), and again goto the pi_faulted
   label.

4) Again from pi_faulted: we increment attempt and enter the
   conditional, where we call futex_handle_fault.

5) futex_handle_fault fails, and we goto the out_unlock_release_sem
   label.

6) From out_unlock_release_sem we return, and since ret is still zero,
   we return without error, while never actually unlocking the lock.

Issue #1: at the first futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() we should probably
be setting ret=-EFAULT before jumping to pi_faulted: However in our case
this doesn't really affect anything, as the glibc we're using ignores the
error value from futex_unlock_pi().

Issue #2: Look at futex_handle_fault(), its first conditional will return
-EFAULT if attempt is >= 2.  However, from the "if(attempt++)
futex_handle_fault(attempt)" logic above, we'll *never* call
futex_handle_fault when attempt is less then two.  So we never get a chance
to even try to fault the page in.

The following patch addresses these two issues by 1) Always setting ret to
-EFAULT if futex_handle_fault fails, and 2) Removing the = in
futex_handle_fault's (attempt >= 2) check.

I'm really not sure this is the right fix, but wanted to bring it up so
folks knew the issue is alive and well in the current -git tree.  From
looking at the git logs the logic was first introduced (then later copied
to other places) in the following commit almost a year ago:

Somehow I clobbered James's original fix and only my
subsequent compiler warning change went in for that
changeset.

Get the real fix in there.

[ARM] 3752/1: fix versatile flash resource map

Patch from Yoav Steinberg

Flash resource mapping for versatile machine included one extra byte for the end address. This results in failure to map other resources on physical address directly after the NOR flash.
