[SCSI] extend the last_sector_bug flag to cover more sectors

The last_sector_bug flag was added to work around a bug in certain usb
cardreaders, where they would crash if a multiple sector read included the
last sector. The original implementation avoids this by e.g. splitting an 8
sector read which includes the last sector into a 7 sector read, and a single
sector read for the last sector.  The flag is enabled for all USB devices.

This revealed a second bug in other usb cardreaders, which crash when they
get a multiple sector read which stops 1 sector short of the last sector.
Affected hardware includes the Kingston "MobileLite" external USB cardreader
and the internal USB cardreader on the Asus EeePC.

Extend the last_sector_bug workaround to ensure that any access which touches
the last 8 hardware sectors of the device is a single sector long.  Requests
are shrunk as necessary to meet this constraint.

This gives us a safety margin against potential unknown or future bugs
affecting multi-sector access to the end of the device.  The two known bugs
only affect the last 2 sectors.  However, they suggest that these devices
are prone to fencepost errors and that multi-sector access to the end of the
device is not well tested.  Popular OS's use multi-sector accesses, but they
rarely read the last few sectors.  Linux (with udev & vol_id) automatically
reads sectors from the end of the device on insertion.  It is assumed that
single sector accesses are more thoroughly tested during development.

The current interrupt handling on s390 misbehaves on an error case. On s390
each cpu has the prefix area (lowcore) for interrupt delivery. This memory
must always be available. If we fail to access the prefix area for a guest
on interrupt delivery the configuration is completely unusable. There is no
point in sending another program interrupt to an inaccessible lowcore.
Furthermore, we should not bug the host kernel, because this can be triggered
by userspace. I think the guest kernel itself can not trigger the problem, as
SET PREFIX and SIGNAL PROCESSOR SET PREFIX both check that the memory is
available and sane. As this is a userspace bug (e.g. setting the wrong guest
offset, unmapping guest memory) we should kill the userspace process instead
of BUGing the host kernel.

KVM: Avoid instruction emulation when event delivery is pending

When an event (such as an interrupt) is injected, and the stack is
shadowed (and therefore write protected), the guest will exit.  The
current code will see that the stack is shadowed and emulate a few
instructions, each time postponing the injection.  Eventually the
injection may succeed, but at that time the guest may be unwilling
to accept the interrupt (for example, the TPR may have changed).

This occurs every once in a while during a Windows 2008 boot.

Fix by unshadowing the fault address if the fault was due to an event
injection.

ALSA: Allow to force model to intel-mac-v3 in snd_hda_intel (sigmatel).

Currently, even if you pass model=intel-mac-v3 as a module parameter to
snd_hda_intel, the function patch_stac922x (patch_sigmatel.c) will still
try to auto-detect the model type. This is a problem on my MacBook Pro 1st
generation, which needs intel-mac-v3, but sometimes incorrectly reports
0x00000100 as subsystem id, which causes the switch in patch_stac922x to
select intel-mac-v4.

To fix this, I added a new model called intel-mac-auto, so in case no
module parameter is passed, and an Intel Mac board is detected, the
model will be automatically detected, while no detection will be done
if the model is forced to intel-mac-v3.

This problem has been around for quite a while, and I used to fix it
by moving the case statement for 0x00000100 in patch_stac922x so that
intel-mac-v3 is chosen.

Another way to fix the problem would be to check if a module parameter
was set directly in patch_stac922x, using something like this:
if (spec->board_config == STAC_INTEL_MAC_V3 &&
!codec->bus->modelname) {

But I think it is less elegant (if you prefer that way, I can prepare a
patch).

Ulrich Drepper [Sat, 26 Jul 2008 02:32:13 +0000 (22:32 -0400)]
[PATCH] dup3 fix

Al Viro notice one cornercase that the new dup3() code.  The dup2()
function, as a special case, handles dup-ing to the same file
descriptor.  In this case the current dup3() code does nothing at
all.  I.e., it ingnores the flags parameter.  This shouldn't happen,
the close-on-exec flag should be set if requested.

In case the O_CLOEXEC bit in the flags parameter is not set the
dup3() function should behave in this respect identical to dup2().
This means dup3(fd, fd, 0) should not actively reset the c-o-e
flag.

The patch below implements this minor change.

in dup2() behaviour]

In a sense, that's the heart of the series.  It's based on the following
property of the trees we are actually asked to add: they can be split into
stem that is already covered by registered trees and crown that is entirely
new.  IOW, if a/b and a/c/d are introduced by our tree, then a/c is also
introduced by it.

That allows to associate tree and table entry with each node in the union;
while directory nodes might be covered by many trees, only one will cover
the node by its crown.  And that will allow much saner logics for /proc/sys
in the next patches.  This patch introduces the data structures needed to
keep track of that.

When adding a sysctl table, we find a "parent" one.  Which is to say,
find the deepest node on its stem that already is present in one of the
tables from our table set or its ancestor sets.  That table will be our
parent and that node in it - attachment point.  Add our table to list
anchored in parent, have it refer the parent and contents of attachment
point.  Also remember where its crown lives.
