Calls to copy_to_user() or copy_from_user() can fail when copying N
bytes, where N is a constant less than 8, but not 1, 2, 4, or 8,
because 'ret' is not initialized and is only set if the size is 1,
2, 4 or 8, but is tested after the switch statement for any constant
size <= 8. This fixes it by initializing 'ret' to 1, causing the
code to fall through to the __copy_tofrom_user call for sizes other
than 1, 2, 4 or 8.

This changes vmemmap to use a different region (region 0xf) of the
address space, and to configure the page size of that region
dynamically at boot.
The problem with the current approach of always using 16M pages is that
it's not well suited to machines that have small amounts of memory such
as small partitions on pseries, or PS3's.
In fact, on the PS3, failure to allocate the 16M page backing vmmemmap
tends to prevent hotplugging the HV's "additional" memory, thus limiting
the available memory even more, from my experience down to something
like 80M total, which makes it really not very useable.
The logic used by my match to choose the vmemmap page size is:
- If 16M pages are available and there's 1G or more RAM at boot,
use that size.
- Else if 64K pages are available, use that
- Else use 4K pages
I've tested on a POWER6 (16M pages) and on an iSeries POWER3 (4K pages)
and it seems to work fine.
Note that I intend to change the way we organize the kernel regions &
SLBs so the actual region will change from 0xf back to something else at
one point, as I simplify the SLB miss handler, but that will be for a
later patch.

Current module loader lookups ".data.percpu" ELF section to perform
per_cpu relocation. But DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED() uses another
section (".data.percpu.shared_aligned"), currently only handled in
vmlinux.lds, not by module loader.
To correct this problem, instead of adding logic into module loader, or
using at build time a module.lds file for all arches to group
".data.percpu.shared_aligned" into ".data.percpu", just use ".data.percpu"
for modules.
Alignment requirements are correctly handled by ld and module loader.

I noticed this because alpha was broken due to the recent commit commit
bdc807871d ("avoid overflows in
kernel/time.c"). Most arches do something like this in their
asm/param.h:
#ifdef __KERNEL__
# define HZ CONFIG_HZ
#else
# define HZ 100
#endif
A few arches though (namely alpha/h8300/um/v850/xtensa) either do no set
HZ at all for !__KERNEL__, or they set it wrongly. This should bring all
arches in line by setting up HZ for userspace.
Without this currently perl 5.10 doesn't build on alpha:

match_strcpy() is a somewhat creepy function: the caller needs to make sure
that the destination buffer is big enough, and when he screws up or
forgets, match_strcpy() happily overruns the buffer.
There's exactly one customer: v9fs_parse_options(). I believe it currently
can't overflow its buffer, but that's not exactly obvious.
The source string is a substing of the mount options. The kernel silently
truncates those to PAGE_SIZE bytes, including the terminating zero. See
compat_sys_mount() and do_mount().
The destination buffer is obtained from __getname(), which allocates from
name_cachep, which is initialized by vfs_caches_init() for size PATH_MAX.
We're safe as long as PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE. PATH_MAX is 4096. As far as
I know, the smallest PAGE_SIZE is also 4096.
Here's a patch that makes the code a bit more obviously correct. It
doesn't depend on PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE.

There is a possible data race in the page table walking code. After the split
ptlock patches, it actually seems to have been introduced to the core code, but
even before that I think it would have impacted some architectures (powerpc
and sparc64, at least, walk the page tables without taking locks eg. see
find_linux_pte()).
The race is as follows:
The pte page is allocated, zeroed, and its struct page gets its spinlock
initialized. The mm-wide ptl is then taken, and then the pte page is inserted
into the pagetables.
At this point, the spinlock is not guaranteed to have ordered the previous
stores to initialize the pte page with the subsequent store to put it in the
page tables. So another Linux page table walker might be walking down (without
any locks, because we have split-leaf-ptls), and find that new pte we've
inserted. It might try to take the spinlock before the store from the other
CPU initializes it. And subsequently it might read a pte_t out before stores
from the other CPU have cleared the memory.
There are also similar races in higher levels of the page tables. They
obviously don't involve the spinlock, but could see uninitialized memory.
Arch code and hardware pagetable walkers that walk the pagetables without
locks could see similar uninitialized memory problems, regardless of whether
split ptes are enabled or not.
I prefer to put the barriers in core code, because that's where the higher
level logic happens, but the page table accessors are per-arch, and open-coding
them everywhere I don't think is an option. I'll put the read-side barriers
in alpha arch code for now (other architectures perform data-dependent loads
in order).

Prior to 2.6.26 fuse only supported single page write requests. In theory all

NTFS-3G where big writes cause filesystem corruption. There could also be
other filesystems, where the lack of testing with big write requests would
result in bugs.
To prevent such problems on a kernel upgrade, disable big writes by default,

The random driver would essentially hang if the host's /dev/random returned
-EAGAIN. There was a test of need_resched followed by a schedule inside the
loop, but that didn't help and it's the wrong way to work anyway.
The right way is to ask for an interrupt when there is input available from
the host and handle it then rather than polling.
Now, when the host's /dev/random returns -EAGAIN, the driver asks for a wakeup
when there's randomness available again and sleeps. The interrupt routine
just wakes up whatever processes are sleeping on host_read_wait.
There is an atomic_t, host_sleep_count, which counts the number of processes
waiting for randomness. When this reaches zero, the interrupt is disabled.
An added complication is that async I/O notification was only recently added
to /dev/random (by me), so essentially all hosts will lack it. So, we use the
sigio workaround here, which is to have a separate thread poll on the
descriptor and send an interrupt when there is input on it. This mechanism is
activated when a process gets -EAGAIN (activating this multiple times is
harmless, if a bit wasteful) and deactivated by the last process still
waiting.
The module name was changed from "random" to "hw_random" in order for udev to
recognize it.
The sigio workaround needed some changes. sigio_broken was added for cases
when we know that async notification doesn't work. This is now called from
maybe_sigio_broken, which deals with pts devices.

Because it's not correct with a non-preemptable BKL and just causes
PREEMPT kernels to have longer latencies than non-PREEMPT ones (which is
obviously not the point of it at all).
Of course, that config option actually got removed as an option earlier,
so for now this basically disables it entirely, but if BKL preemption is
ever resurrected it will be a meaningful optimization. And in the
meantime, it at least documents the intent of the code, while not doing

We should not go through the task pointer to get at the thread info,
since it's usually cheaper to just access the thread info directly.
So don't make the code look up 'current', when we can just use the
thread info accessor functions directly. This generally avoids one
level of indirection and tends to work better together with code that
also looks at other thread flags (eg preempt_count).
