Under certain timing conditions, a race during boot occurs where timer
ticks are being processed on remote CPUs. The remote timer ticks can
increment jiffies, and if this happens during a window when a timeout is
very close to expiring but a local tick has not yet been delivered, you can
end up with
1) No softirq pending
2) A local timer wheel which is not synced to jiffies
3) No high resolution timer active
4) A local timer which is supposed to fire before the current jiffies value.
In this circumstance, the comparison in next_timer_interrupt overflows,
because the base of the comparison for high resolution timers is jiffies,
but for the softirq timer wheel, it is relative the the current base of the
wheel (jiffies_base).

Problem:
If we put a probe onto a callq instruction and the probe is executed,
kernel panic of Bad RIP value occurs.
Root cause:
If resume_execution() found 0xff at first byte of p->ainsn.insn, it must
check the _second_ byte. But current resume_execution check _first_ byte
again.
I changed it checks second byte of p->ainsn.insn.
Kprobes on i386 don't have this problem, because the implementation is a

o Kdump second kernel boot fails after a system crash if second kernel
is UP and acpi=off and if crash occurred on a non-boot cpu.
o Issue here is that MP tables report boot cpu lapic id as 0 but second
kernel is booting on a different processor and MP table data is stale
in this context. Hence apic_id_registered() check fails in setup_local_APIC()
when called from APIC_init_uniprocessor().
o Problem is not seen if ACPI is enabled as in that case
boot_cpu_physical_apicid is read from the LAPIC.
o Problem is not seen with SMP kernels as well because in this case also
boot_cpu_physical_apicid is read from LAPIC. (smp_boot_cpus()).
o The problem is fixed by reading boot_cpu_physical_apicid from LAPIC
if it is a UP kernel and CRASH_DUMP is enabled.

Update the kernel/cpuset.c:cpuset_zone_allowed() comment.
The rule for when mm/page_alloc.c should call cpuset_zone_allowed()
was intended to be:
Don't call cpuset_zone_allowed() if you can't sleep, unless you
pass in the __GFP_HARDWALL flag set in gfp_flag, which disables
the code that might scan up ancestor cpusets and sleep.
The explanation of this rule in the comment above cpuset_zone_allowed() was
stale, as a result of a restructuring of some __alloc_pages() code in
November 2005.

Fix a couple of infrequently encountered 'sleeping function called from
invalid context' in the cpuset hooks in __alloc_pages. Could sleep while
interrupts disabled.
The routine cpuset_zone_allowed() is called by code in mm/page_alloc.c
__alloc_pages() to determine if a zone is allowed in the current tasks
cpuset. This routine can sleep, for certain GFP_KERNEL allocations, if the
zone is on a memory node not allowed in the current cpuset, but might be
allowed in a parent cpuset.
But we can't sleep in __alloc_pages() if in interrupt, nor if called for a
GFP_ATOMIC request (__GFP_WAIT not set in gfp_flags).
The rule was intended to be:
Don't call cpuset_zone_allowed() if you can't sleep, unless you
pass in the __GFP_HARDWALL flag set in gfp_flag, which disables
the code that might scan up ancestor cpusets and sleep.
This rule was being violated in a couple of places, due to a bogus change
made (by myself, pj) to __alloc_pages() as part of the November 2005 effort
to cleanup its logic, and also due to a later fix to constrain which swap
daemons were awoken.
The bogus change can be seen at:
http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2005-11/4691.html
[PATCH 01/05] mm fix __alloc_pages cpuset ALLOC_* flags
This was first noticed on a tight memory system, in code that was disabling
interrupts and doing allocation requests with __GFP_WAIT not set, which
resulted in __might_sleep() writing complaints to the log "Debug: sleeping
function called ...", when the code in cpuset_zone_allowed() tried to take
the callback_sem cpuset semaphore.
We haven't seen a system hang on this 'might_sleep' yet, but we are at
decent risk of seeing it fairly soon, especially since the additional
cpuset_zone_allowed() check was added, conditioning wakeup_kswapd(), in
March 2006.
Special thanks to Dave Chinner, for figuring this out, and a tip of the hat

The OSC set and query functions do not allocate enough space for return
values, and set the output buffer length to a false, too large value. This
causes the acpi-ca code to assume that the output buffer is larger than it
actually is, and overwrite memory when copying acpi return buffers into
this caller provided buffer. In some cases this can cause kernel oops if
the memory that is overwritten is a pointer. This patch will change these
calls to use a dynamically allocated output buffer, thus allowing the
acpi-ca code to decide how much space is needed.

We should have closed the file within exec(), not at exit()-time.
But there doesn't seem to be a lot of point in doing all this just to avoid
going over RLIMIT_NOFILE by one fd for a few microseconds. So take the EMFILE
checking out again. This will cause binfmt_flat to again fail LTP's
exec-should-return-EMFILE-when-fdtable-is-full test. That test appears to be

Address a problem found when a Linux NFS server uses the "subtree_check"
export option.
The "subtree_check" NFS export option was designed to prohibit a client
from using a file handle for which it should not have permission. The
algorithm used is to ensure that the entire path to the file being
referenced is accessible to the user attempting to use the file handle. If
some part of the path is not accessible, then the operation is aborted and
the appropriate version of ESTALE is returned to the NFS client.
The error, ESTALE, is unfortunate in that it causes NFS clients to make
certain assumptions about the continued existence of the file. They assume
that the file no longer exists and refuse to attempt to access it again.
In this case, the file really does exist, but access was denied by the
server for a particular user.
A better error to return would be an EACCES sort of error. This would
inform the client that the particular operation that it was attempting was
not allowed, without the nasty side effects of the ESTALE error.

There has been a longstanding problem with the Matrox G450 and perhaps
other similar cards, with modes "above" 1280x1024-60 on ppc/ppc64 boxes
running Linux. Higher resolutions and/or higher refresh rates resulted in
a very noticably "jittery" display, and sometimes no display, depending on
the physical monitor. This patch fixes that problem on the systems I have
easy access to...
I've tested with SLES9SP3 (2.6.5+ kernel) and 2.6.16-rc6 custom kernels on
an IBM eServer p5 520 w/G450 (a.k.a GXT135P on IBM's ppc64 systems), and a
colleague of mine (Ian Romanick) tested it successfully on an Apple ppc32
box (w/GXT135P). I also tested it on IA32 box I have with a GXT135P to
verify that it didn't obviously break anything. In my testing, I covered
single-card, single and dual-head setups using both HD15 and DVI-D signals,
on both the IA32 and ppc64 boxes. While everything appeared fine on both
boxes, I did encounter one problem: I can't get any signal on the DVI-D
output on the ppc64 box. However, this is also the case without my patch.
I just noticed that screen-blanking only occurs on the primary display as
well.

understanding. When the address is valid, they always return -EFAULT to

An example is to run /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd(32bit program on Power5). It
