if CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE is set then the user most definitely wanted
to see as much information about kernel crashes as possible - so give
them at least a stack dump.
this is particularly useful for stackprotector related panics, where
the stacktrace can give us the exact location of the (attempted)
attack.

the boot CPU's idle task has a zero stackprotector canary value.
this is a special task that is never forked, so the fork code
does not randomize its canary. Do it when we hit cpu_idle().
Academic sidenote: this means that the early init code runs with a
zero canary and hence the canary becomes predictable for this short,
boot-only amount of time.
Although attack vectors against early init code are very rare, it might
make sense to move this initialization to an earlier point.
(to one of the early init functions that never return - such as
start_kernel())

The idle threads for non-boot CPUs are a bit special in how they
are created; the result is that these don't have the stack canary
set up properly in their PDA. Easiest fix is to just always set
the PDA up correctly when entering the idle thread; this is a NOP
for the boot cpu.

fix a bug noticed and fixed by pageexec@freemail.hu.
if built with -fstack-protector-all then we'll have canary checks built
into the __switch_to() function. That does not work well with the
canary-switching code there: while we already use the %rsp of the
new task, we still call __switch_to() whith the previous task's canary
value in the PDA, hence the __switch_to() ssp prologue instructions
will store the previous canary. Then we update the PDA and upon return
from __switch_to() the canary check triggers and we panic.
so update the canary after we have called __switch_to(), where we are
at the same stackframe level as the last stackframe of the next
(and now freshly current) task.
Note: this means that we call __switch_to() [and its sub-functions]
still with the old canary, but that is not a problem, both the previous
and the next task has a high-quality canary. The only (mostly academic)
disadvantage is that the canary of one task may leak onto the stack of
another task, increasing the risk of information leaks, were an attacker
able to read the stack of specific tasks (but not that of others).
To solve this we'll have to reorganize the way we switch tasks, and move
the PDA setting into the switch_to() assembly code. That will happen in
another patch.

on paravirt enabled 64-bit kernels the paravirt ops do function
calls themselves - which is bad with the stackprotector - for
example pda_init() loads 0 into %gs and then does MSR_GS_BASE
write (which modifies gs.base) - but that MSR write is a function
call on paravirt, which with stackprotector tries to read the
stack canary from the PDA ... crashing the bootup.
the solution was suggested by Arjan van de Ven: to exclude paravirt.c
from stackprotector, too many lowlevel functionality is in it. It's
not like we'll have paravirt functions with character arrays on
their stack anyway...

These magic greps and hacks in ver_linux to get the gcc version always break after some gcc releases.
Since now gcc >4.3 allows compiling with '--with-pkgversion' ( which can be everything 'My Cool Gcc' or something )
ver_linux will report random junk for these.
Simply use 'gcc -dumpversion' to get the gcc version which should always work.

On Book-E SMP systems each core has its own private watchdog. If only one
watchdog is enabled, when the core that doesn't enable the watchdog is hung,
system can't reset because no watchdog is running on it. That's bad. It
means we must enable watchdogs on both cores.
We can use smp_call_function() to send appropriate messages to all the other
cores to enable and update the watchdog.

Somehow the spidev code forgot to include a critical mechanism: when the
underlying device is removed (e.g. spi_master rmmod), open file
descriptors must be prevented from issuing new I/O requests to that
device. On penalty of the oopsing reported by Sebastian Siewior
<bigeasy@tglx.de> ...
This is a partial fix, adding handshaking between the lower level (SPI
messaging) and the file operations using the spi_dev. (It also fixes an
issue where reads and writes didn't return the number of bytes sent or
received.)
There's still a refcounting issue to be addressed (separately).

This is a slight change in the namespace cgroup subsystem api.
The change is that previously when cgroup_clone() was called (currently
only from the unshare path in ns_proxy cgroup, you'd get a new group named
"node_$pid" whereas now you'll get a group named after just your pid.)
The only users who would notice it are those who are using the ns_proxy
cgroup subsystem to auto-create cgroups when namespaces are unshared -
something of an experimental feature, which I think really needs more
complete container/namespace support in order to be useful. I suspect the
only users are Cedric and Serge, or maybe a few others on
containers@lists.linux-foundation.org. And in fact it would only be
noticed by the users who make the assumption about how the name is
generated, rather than getting it from the /proc/<pid>/cgroups file for
the process in question.
Whether the change is actually needed or not I'm fairly agnostic on, but I
guess it is more elegant to just use the pid as the new group name rather
than adding a fairly arbitrary "node_" prefix on the front.

Trying to add memory via add_memory() from within an initcall function
results in
bootmem alloc of 163840 bytes failed!
Kernel panic - not syncing: Out of memory
This is caused by zone_wait_table_init() which uses system_state to decide
if it should use the bootmem allocator or not.
When initcalls are handled the system_state is still SYSTEM_BOOTING but
the bootmem allocator doesn't work anymore. So the allocation will fail.
To fix this use slab_is_available() instead as indicator like we do it
everywhere else.

This occurs when we are scanning the zonelists looking for a ZONE_NORMAL

When performing a node local allocation we call get_page_from_freelist()
looking for a page. It in turn calls first_zones_zonelist() which returns
a preferred_zone. Where there are no applicable zones this will be NULL.
However we use this unconditionally, leading to this panic.
Where there are no applicable zones there is no possibility of a successful
allocation, so simply fail the allocation.

Any file under /proc/net opened more than once leaked the refcounter

The problem is that module_get is called for each file opening while
module_put is called only when /proc inode is destroyed. So, lets put
module counter if we are dealing with already initialised inode.

In 2.6.25, ramdisk devices show up in /proc/partitions, which is a
behaviour change from the old rd.c. Add GENHD_FL_SUPPRESS_PARTITION_INFO,
which was present in rd.c.
All kernels prior to 2.6.25 weren't displaying ramdisks in
/proc/partitions. Since there are many userspace tools using information
from /proc/partitions some of them may now behave incorrectly (I didn't
tested any though). For example before 2.6.25 /proc/partitions was empty
if no block devices like hard disks and such were detected by kernel. Now
all 16 ramdisks are always visible there. Some software may rely on such
information (I mean, on empty /proc/partitions).
There was quite similar situation back in 2004, and ramdisks were excluded
back from displaying. Thats why I called this a regression (maybe a bit
unfortunate). See this patch for info:
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.3-rc2/2.6.3-rc2-mm1/broken-out/nbd-proc-partitions-fix.patch
I also think that someone somewhere (long time ago) excluded ramdisks from
/proc/partitions for good reasons. It is possible that now such new
"feature" is harmless, but I think there are more chances that someone
will say "hey, /proc/partitions has changed, now my software doesn't work"
then "hey where did my new 2.6.25 feature go". nbd devices are also
excluded, maybe for very same (unknown to me) reasons.

__exit_signal() does flush_sigqueue(tsk->pending) outside of ->siglock.
This can race with another thread doing sigqueue_free(), we can free the
same SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC sigqueue twice or corrupt the pending->list.
Note that even sys_exit_group() can trigger this race, not only
sys_timer_delete().
Move the callsite of flush_sigqueue(tsk->pending) under ->siglock.
This patch doesn't touch flush_sigqueue(->shared_pending) below, it is
called when there are no other threads which can play with signals, and
sigqueue_free() can't be used outside of our thread group.

When we get any IO error during a recovery (rebuilding a spare), we abort
the recovery and restart it.
For RAID6 (and multi-drive RAID1) it may not be best to restart at the
beginning: when multiple failures can be tolerated, the recovery may be
able to continue and re-doing all that has already been done doesn't make
sense.
We already have the infrastructure to record where a recovery is up to
and restart from there, but it is not being used properly.
This is because:
- We sometimes abort with MD_RECOVERY_ERR rather than just MD_RECOVERY_INTR,
which causes the recovery not be be checkpointed.
- We remove spares and then re-added them which loses important state
information.
The distinction between MD_RECOVERY_ERR and MD_RECOVERY_INTR really isn't
needed. If there is an error, the relevant drive will be marked as
Faulty, and that is enough to ensure correct handling of the error. So we
first remove MD_RECOVERY_ERR, changing some of the uses of it to
MD_RECOVERY_INTR.
Then we cause the attempt to remove a non-faulty device from an array to
fail (unless recovery is impossible as the array is too degraded). Then
when remove_and_add_spares attempts to remove the devices on which
recovery can continue, it will fail, they will remain in place, and
recovery will continue on them as desired.
Issue: If we are halfway through rebuilding a spare and another drive
fails, and a new spare is immediately available, do we want to:
1/ complete the current rebuild, then go back and rebuild the new spare or
2/ restart the rebuild from the start and rebuild both devices in
parallel.
Both options can be argued for. The code currently takes option 2 as
a/ this requires least code change
b/ this results in a minimally-degraded array in minimal time.

In some configurations, a raid6 resync can be limited by CPU speed
(Calculating P and Q and moving data) rather than by device speed. In
these cases there is nothing to be gained byt serialising resync of arrays
that share a device, and doing the resync in parallel can provide benefit.
So add a sysfs tunable to flag an array as being allowed to resync in
parallel with other arrays that use (a different part of) the same device.
