Let's suppose we have 2 threads in thread group:
A - does coredump
B - has pending SIGSTOP
thread A thread B
do_coredump: get_signal_to_deliver:
lock(->sighand)
->signal->flags = SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT
unlock(->sighand)
lock(->sighand)
signr = dequeue_signal()
->signal->flags |= SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED
return SIGSTOP;
do_signal_stop:
unlock(->sighand)
coredump_wait:
zap_threads:
lock(tasklist_lock)
send SIGKILL to B
// signal_wake_up() does nothing
unlock(tasklist_lock)
lock(tasklist_lock)
lock(->sighand)
re-check sig->flags & SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, yes
set_current_state(TASK_STOPPED);
finish_stop:
schedule();
// ->state == TASK_STOPPED
wait_for_completion(&startup_done)
// waits for complete() from B,
// ->state == TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE
We can't wake up 'B' in any way:
SIGCONT will be ignored because handle_stop_signal() sees
->signal->flags & SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT.
sys_kill(SIGKILL)->__group_complete_signal() will choose
uninterruptible 'A', so it can't help.
sys_tkill(B, SIGKILL) will be ignored by specific_send_sig_info()
because B already has pending SIGKILL.
This scenario is not possbile if 'A' does do_group_exit(), because
it sets sig->flags = SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT and delivers SIGKILL to
subthreads atomically, holding both tasklist_lock and sighand->lock.
That means that do_signal_stop() will notice !SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED
after re-locking ->sighand. And it is not possible to any other
thread to re-add SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED later, because dequeue_signal()
can only return SIGKILL.
I think it is better to change do_coredump() to do sigaddset(SIGKILL)
and signal_wake_up() under sighand->lock, but this patch is much
simpler.

The nameidata "last.name" is always allocated with "__getname()", and
should always be free'd with "__putname()".
Using "putname()" without the underscores will leak memory, because the
allocation will have been hidden from the AUDITSYSCALL code.
Arguably the real bug is that the AUDITSYSCALL code is really broken,
but in the meantime this fixes the problem people see.

I've noticed a kernel hang during a storm of CMC interrupts, which was
tracked down to the continual execution of the interrupt handler.
There's code in the CMC handler that's supposed to disable CMC
interrupts and switch to polling mode when it sees a bunch of CMCs.
Because disabling CMCs across all CPUs isn't safe in interrupt context,
the disable is done with a schedule_work(). But with continual CMC
interrupts, the schedule_work() never gets executed.
The following patch immediately disables CMC interrupts for the current
CPU. This then allows (at least) one CPU to ignore CMC interrupts,
execute the schedule_work() code, and disable CMC interrupts on the rest
of the CPUs.

By allocating early memory for the firmware page tables, we
can write over the beginning of the initrd image.
So what we do now is:
1) Read in firmware translations table while still on the
firmware's trap table.
2) Switch to Linux trap table.
3) Init bootmem.
4) Build firmware page tables using __alloc_bootmem().
And this keeps the initrd from being clobbered.

Older Macs which uses the VIA chip timers to calibrate the timebase used
some code that wouldn't work if HZ wasn't divisible by 100...
This fixes it at least for 250. Not totally perfect but should be
enough for now (so it at least works with the default value which is now
250).
There is still a potential issue with the core using CLOCK_TICK_RATE to
maintain xtime and CLOCK_TICK_RATE value on ppc32 is pure crap, but that
is a different problem, this patch at least brings us back to our
previous situation.

Suggested by Linus, originally also proposed by Suresh.
This fixes a race condition with early start of udev, originally

to the user space VM would not clear the global low mappings
for the beginning of memory, which lead to memory corruption.

bfs_fill_super() walks the inode table to get the bitmap of free inodes

Switched to walking the damn thing directly.
Note: that also allows to kill ->i_dsk_ino in there - separate patch if
Tigran can confirm that this field can be zero only for deleted inodes
