[PATCH] x86_64: Check that early arguments are words on their own
We've always had the problem that arguments only did a prefix match,
which resulted e.g. in noapic and noapictimer getting confused.
Fix the early argument parsing code to always check that arguments are
whole words (except for those that take additional arguments of course)
I factored out the checking code for that while also makes the code
easier to maintain.

[PATCH] x86_64: actively synchronize vmalloc area when registering certain callbacks
While the modular aspect of the respective i386 patch doesn't apply to
x86-64 (as the top level page directory entry is shared between modules
and the base kernel), handlers registered with register_die_notifier()
are still under similar constraints for touching ioremap()ed or
vmalloc()ed memory. The likelihood of this problem becoming visible is
of course significantly lower, as the assigned virtual addresses would
have to cross a 2**39 byte boundary. This is because the callback gets
invoked
(a) in the page fault path before the top level page table propagation
gets carried out (hence a fault to propagate the top level page table
entry/entries mapping to module's code/data would nest infinitly) and
(b) in the NMI path, where nested faults must absolutely not happen,
since otherwise the IRET from the nested fault re-enables NMIs,
potentially resulting in nested NMI occurences.

[PATCH] direct-io: bug fix in dio handling write error
There is a bug in direct-io on propagating write error up to the higher I/O
layer. When performing an async ODIRECT write to a block device, if a
device error occurred (like media error or disk is pulled), the error code
is only propagated from device driver to the DIO layer. The error code
stops at finished_one_bio(). The aysnc write, however, is supposedly have
a corresponding AIO event with appropriate return code (in this case -EIO).
Application which waits on the async write event, will hang forever since
such AIO event is lost forever (if such app did not use the timeout option
in io_getevents call. Regardless, an AIO event is lost).
The discovery of above bug leads to another discovery of potential race
window with dio->result. The fundamental problem is that dio->result is
overloaded with dual use: an indicator of fall back path for partial dio
write, and an error indicator used in the I/O completion path. In the
event of device error, the setting of -EIO to dio->result clashes with
value used to track partial write that activates the fall back path.
It was also pointed out that it is impossible to use dio->result to track
partial write and at the same time to track error returned from device
driver. Because direct_io_work can only determines whether it is a partial
write at the end of io submission and in mid stream of those io submission,
a return code could be coming back from the driver. Thus messing up all
the subsequent logic.
Proposed fix is to separating out error code returned by the IO completion
path from partial IO submit tracking. A new variable is added to dio
structure specifically to track io error returned in the completion path.

[PATCH] make cap_ptrace enforce PTRACE_TRACME checks
PTRACE_TRACEME doesn't have proper capabilities validation when parent is
less privileged than child. Issue pointed out by Ram Gupta
<ram.gupta5@gmail.com>.
Note: I haven't identified a strong security issue, and it's a small ABI
change that could break apps that rely on existing behaviour (which allows
parent that is less privileged than child to ptrace when child does
PTRACE_TRACEME).

[PATCH] POLLRDHUP/EPOLLRDHUP handling for half-closed devices notifications
Implement the half-closed devices notifiation, by adding a new POLLRDHUP
(and its alias EPOLLRDHUP) bit to the existing poll/select sets. Since the
existing POLLHUP handling, that does not report correctly half-closed
devices, was feared to be changed, this implementation leaves the current
POLLHUP reporting unchanged and simply add a new bit that is set in the few
places where it makes sense. The same thing was discussed and conceptually
agreed quite some time ago:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/12/116
Since this new event bit is added to the existing Linux poll infrastruture,
even the existing poll/select system calls will be able to use it. As far
as the existing POLLHUP handling, the patch leaves it as is. The
pollrdhup-2.6.16.rc5-0.10.diff defines the POLLRDHUP for all the existing
archs and sets the bit in the six relevant files. The other attached diff
is the simple change required to sys/epoll.h to add the EPOLLRDHUP
definition.
There is "a stupid program" to test POLLRDHUP delivery here:
http://www.xmailserver.org/pollrdhup-test.c
It tests poll(2), but since the delivery is same epoll(2) will work equally.

[PATCH] IRQ: prevent enabling of previously disabled interrupt
This fix prevents re-disabling and enabling of a previously disabled
interrupt. On an SMP system with irq balancing enabled; If an interrupt is
disabled from within its own interrupt context with disable_irq_nosync and is
also earmarked for processor migration, the interrupt is blindly moved to the
other processor and enabled without regard for its current "enabled" state.
If there is an interrupt pending, it will unexpectedly invoke the irq handler
on the new irq owning processor (even though the irq was previously disabled)
The more intuitive fix would be to invoke disable_irq_nosync and
enable_irq, but since we already have the desc->lock from __do_IRQ, we
cannot call them directly. Instead we can use the same logic to disable
and enable found in disable_irq_nosync and enable_irq, with regards to the
desc->depth.
This now prevents a disabled interrupt from being re-disabled, and more
importantly prevents a disabled interrupt from being incorrectly enabled on
a different processor.
