I noticed that v86d segfaults on the final v2.6.30 release (breaking
uvesafb), but doesn't on the current master (v2.6.30-3392-g44b7532)
nor on v2.6.29.x. I originally tried to git-bisect v2.6.29 and
v2.6.30-rc1 (the first tag to contain the problem), but I ran into
multiple kernels that would either not compile or would simply panic
on boot.

So instead, I did a 'git bisect' on commits between tags 'v2.6.30' and
commit-ish '44b7532' to find the commit that _corrected_ the problem
(reversing the 'good'/'bad' logic of git-bisect to do the task).

First, here's the relevant dmesg output for broken kernels:

Michal (uvesafb creator) suggested that I try disabling lockdep to see
what happens. Doing so changes the dmesg output to this:

And here's the commit that fixes the problem:

commit 3aa6b186f86c5d06d6d92d14311ffed51f091f40
Author: Lubomir Rintel <lkundrak@v3.sk>
Date:   Sun Jun 7 16:23:48 2009 +0200

    x86: Fix non-lazy GS handling in sys_vm86()

    This fixes a stack corruption panic or null dereference oops
    due to a bad GS in resume_userspace() when returning from
    sys_vm86() and calling lockdep_sys_exit().

    Only a problem when CONFIG_LOCKDEP and CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR
    enabled.

The cherry-pick of the bisected commit seems to work when applied to
vanilla v2.6.30.

Greg, for v2.6.30.1, could you please cherry-pick commit
3aa6b186f86c5d06d6d92d14311ffed51f091f40?


By the way, what happened to the versioning information that used to
be contained in the kernel binary filename and 'uname -r' output? I
used to see kernels that had version numbers similar to the output of
'git describe'. It was quite useful to have that kind of revision
information built into the kernel.

I don't see that commit id in Linus's tree.  Where did you get it from?

(Whoops, forgot to do reply-to-all. Grr.)


That's bizarre. Indeed, it doesn't show up on gitweb for
git.kernel.org, but yet git claims Linus' branch contains it:

tycho@xerxes /usr/src/linux $ git branch -a --contains
3aa6b186f86c5d06d6d92d14311ffed51f091f40
* linus-master
 remotes/linus/HEAD -> linus/master
 remotes/linus/master


And my remotes appear to be fine:

tycho@xerxes /usr/src/linux $ git remote -v
linus   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
stable-2.6.28 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.28.y.git

stable-2.6.30 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.30.y.git


And if I do a fresh clone of Linus' repository on a different machine
it shows up...

I guess gitweb isn't behaving nicely?
