Actually, by a2cc797d2d1a ("i915: do not setup intel_backlight ").

That b727d20269e is just my merge commit that brings in the fix (and
the bogus initialization of 'locked') into mainline.

So while funny, I doubt this is actually a bug. It's a feature, as
pointed out by Clemens Ladisch in that thread.

It's simply sysrq-c: "perform a system crash by a NULL pointer dereference".

Now, I'm perfectly willing to consider that feature to be a
mis-feature, and that this should be considered a bug to be fixed. But
it is not a regression.

Keeping it on the regression list just because it is amusing is
understandable, though ;)

So this should be fixed by commit 2b666859ec32 ("x86: Default to
vsyscall=native for now"), since we disabled the vsyscall emulation
because it broken UML too.

Of course, the chromium seccomp thing might re-surface with the
patches that enable the emulation (with better emulation), which Andy
is still working on, and that I was planning on merging for 3.3.

Andy, it migth be worth contacting Nix and having him test whether
your fixed emulation works for chromium too.

I don't think so.  I think the issue is that the chromium sandbox is
trying to use getcpu, time, or gettimeofday from seccomp mode and the
kernel is (IMO correctly) sending it SIGKILL.  Nix can trigger the bug
in vsyscall=native mode, so it's not the emulation.  (If it's
gettimeofday, then it's definitely not a regression.  vgettimeofday
would SIGKILL in seccomp mode with any timing source other than rdtsc
or hpet even on old kernels.)

I sent a patch to show which syscall is causing SIGKILL and haven't
heard back.  Meanwhile, I'm downloading the 1.1GB (!) tarball to see
if I can reproduce it here.  Fedora's build didn't trigger it for me,
probably because the sandbox was disabled.

To try to reduce the incidence of this stuff in the future, and to
make vsyscall=none and UML more useful, I filed this bug:

This is apparently fixed in seccompsandbox.  See:

https://code.google.com/p/seccompsandbox/issues/detail?id=17
https://code.google.com/p/seccompsandbox/source/detail?r=178

Unless someone objects, I'll consider this to not be a kernel
regression worth fixing.

Despite the subject line, that's not an oops, it's a BUG_ON().

And it *should* be fixed by commit ea4039a34c4c ("hugetlb: release
pages in the error path of hugetlb_cow()") although I don't think Andy
ever confirmed that (since it was hard to trigger).

I haven't seen it again, but that probably doesn't mean anything.
I've also fixed a bug in some userspace software I was running, and
that fix means I'm probably not stressing that part of the kernel
anymore.  (Even without the fix, it took two weeks to hit this.)

AFAICS the issue has been introduced by 0fe6e20b (hugetlb, rmap:
add reverse mapping for hugepage) in 2.6.36-rc1 so this is a stable
material. I do not see the patch in any stable branch so here we go.
The patch is on top of 3.0.y branch and it applies as is to 3.1.y
as well.

Commit aa6afca5bcab was reverted by commit 5e442a493fc5, so this one

This patch doesn't fix my hang.

However git contains also:
sky2: fix hang in napi_disable
This is the one fixing my case.

So the bug is resolved, however I'm a little disappointed noone
ping-ed me about that patches. I've spent some time on bisecting this
issue, expected to get some response :/

Andrea's patch already fixes this issue, which was reported first by
Jiri Slaby. https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/11/93
I remember Andrew Morton taking this patch in his -mm tree. But it is
not in mainline yet. So can we consider this closed or not?

grr, nothing in that patch's changelog indicates that it fixed a
regression nor that it fixed an infinite blockage of suspend.

I moved it to my 3.2 queue, thanks.

Well it's not a recent thing so I didn't flag it as a regression. It
doesn't infinite block it, suspend works fine almost all the time (or
it would have been noticed before), and if you've bad luck and it
doesn't suspend the first time around like someone experienced, if you
try again a bit later it'll work.

The patch mentioned in http://mid.gmane.org/20111115144004.GE22675@phenom.dumpdata.com 
should do it. But the patch needs an Ack from ACPI/x86 folks.

This patch (mentioned in the URL above) fixes the issue. Could it be
applied to the x86 tree for 3.2 or get an Ack, please?

Subject: [PATCH] xen/pm_idle: Make pm_idle be default_idle under Xen.

This patch:

    cpuidle: replace xen access to x86 pm_idle and default_idle

    ..scribble on pm_idle and access default_idle,
   have it simply disable_cpuidle() so acpi_idle will not load and
   architecture default HLT will be used.

idea was to have one call - disable_cpuidle() which would make
pm_idle not be molested by other code. It disallows cpuidle_idle_call
and acpi_idle_call to not set pm_idle (which is excellent). But the
amd_e400_idle and mwait_idle can still setup pm_idle which we really
do not want. In case of mwait_idle we can hit some instances where:

RH BZ #739499 and Ubuntu #881076

In case of amd_e400_idle we don't get so spectacular crashes, but
we do end up making an MSR which is trapped in the hypervisor,
and then follow it up with a yield hypercall. Meaning we end up
going to hypervisor twice instead of just once.

Lets make pm_idle be default_idle to take care of that.

This is not the case: rather select_idle_routine()/idle_setup() sets
pm_idle.

I don't understand what you're trying to achieve here? Do you want
default_idle to be always the pm_idle for xen or what is the deal here?

If yes, then simply do:

bool set_pm_idle_to_default(void)	// remember to add "void" for no function args
{
	bool ret = !!pm_idle;

	pm_idle = default_idle;

	return ret;

}

and then do

	WARN_ON(set_pm_idle_to_default());

instead of having arbitrary confusing logic. This way you can warn
whether something else set pm_idle already. Or?

You are right. I had "acpi_idle_enter_*" and its friend in mind. Which
are called from the cpuidle_idle_call.

Let me fix that comment up.

Yes (always want default_idle).

    cpuidle: replace xen access to x86 pm_idle and default_idle

    ..scribble on pm_idle and access default_idle,

   architecture default HLT will be used.

idea was to have one call - disable_cpuidle() which would make
pm_idle not be molested by other code. It disallows cpuidle_idle_call
to be set to pm_idle (which is excellent). But in the select_idle_routine()
and idle_setup(), the pm_idle can still be set to either:
amd_e400_idle, mwait_idle or default_idle. This depends on some
CPU flags (MWAIT) and in AMD case on the type of CPU.

In case of mwait_idle we can hit some instances where the hypervisor
(Amazon EC2 specifically) sets the MWAIT and we get:

In case of amd_e400_idle we don't get so spectacular crashes, but
we do end up making an MSR which is trapped in the hypervisor,
and then follow it up with a yield hypercall. Meaning we end up
going to hypervisor twice instead of just once.

The previous behavior before v3.0 was that pm_idle was set
to default_idle irregardless of select_idle_routine/idle_setup.

We want to do that, but only for one specific case: Xen.
This patch does that.

Fixes RH BZ #739499 and Ubuntu #881076

>From what I can see, you get the following callchain:

start_kernel
|-> setup_arch
    |-> x86_init.oem.arch_setup = xen_arch_setup
    ....
    |-> check_bugs
        |-> identify_boot_cpu

so xen_arch_setup will set pm_idle and select_idle_routine will honour
it. I'm being told this is run either in the dom0 or the paravirt guest
and if so, I don't see any issue with this for baremetal. So you can
have my ACK provided this is tested on baremetal too.

Thanks.

Tested on baremetal and there were no abnormalities. Thanks!

3.2-rc6+: Reported regressions from 3.0 and 3.1

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

This message contains a list of some regressions from 3.0 and 3.1
for which there are no fixes in the mainline known to the tracking team.
If any of them have been fixed already, please let us know.

If you know of any other unresolved regressions from 3.0 and 3.1, please let us
know either and we'll add them to the list.  Also, please let us know if any of
the entries below are invalid.

The entries below are simplified and the statistics are not present due to the
continuing Bugzilla outage.

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

[I'm sorry if you receive this message twice, I seem to have problems with
sending it.]

This message contains a list of some regressions from 3.0 and 3.1
for which there are no fixes in the mainline known to the tracking team.
If any of them have been fixed already, please let us know.

If you know of any other unresolved regressions from 3.0 and 3.1, please let us
know either and we'll add them to the list.  Also, please let us know if any of
the entries below are invalid.

The entries below are simplified and the statistics are not present due to the
continuing Bugzilla outage.
