alpha: fix 32/64-bit bug in futex support

2012-03-05T23:49:43Z

Michael Cree said: : : I have noticed some user space problems (pulseaudio crashes in pthread : : code, glibc/nptl test suite failures, java compiler freezes on SMP alpha : : systems) that arise when using a 2.6.39 or later kernel on Alpha. : : Bisecting between 2.6.38 and 2.6.39 (using glibc/nptl test suite as : : criterion for good/bad kernel) eventually leads to: : : : : 8d7718aa082aaf30a0b4989e1f04858952f941bc is the first bad commit : : commit 8d7718aa082aaf30a0b4989e1f04858952f941bc : : Author: Michel Lespinasse : : Date: Thu Mar 10 18:50:58 2011 -0800 : : : : futex: Sanitize futex ops argument types : : : : Change futex_atomic_op_inuser and futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic : : prototypes to use u32 types for the futex as this is the data type the : : futex core code uses all over the place. : : : : Looking at the commit I see there is a change of the uaddr argument in : : the Alpha architecture specific code for futexes from int to u32, but I : : don't see why this should cause a problem. Richard Henderson said: : futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(u32 *uval, u32 __user *uaddr, : u32 oldval, u32 newval) : ... : : "r"(uaddr), "r"((long)oldval), "r"(newval) : : : There is no 32-bit compare instruction. These are implemented by : consistently extending the values to a 64-bit type. Since the : load instruction sign-extends, we want to sign-extend the other : quantity as well (despite the fact it's logically unsigned). : : So: : : - : "r"(uaddr), "r"((long)oldval), "r"(newval) : + : "r"(uaddr), "r"((long)(int)oldval), "r"(newval) : : should do the trick. Michael said: : This fixes the glibc test suite failures and the pulseaudio related : crashes, but it does not fix the java compiiler lockups that I was (and : are still) observing. That is some other problem.

net: add wireless TX status socket option

2011-11-09T21:01:02Z

The 802.1X EAPOL handshake hostapd does requires knowing whether the frame was ack'ed by the peer. Currently, we fudge this pretty badly by not even transmitting the frame as a normal data frame but injecting it with radiotap and getting the status out of radiotap monitor as well. This is rather complex, confuses users (mon.wlan0 presence) and doesn't work with all hardware. To get rid of that hack, introduce a real wifi TX status option for data frame transmissions. This works similar to the existing TX timestamping in that it reflects the SKB back to the socket's error queue with a SCM_WIFI_STATUS cmsg that has an int indicating ACK status (0/1). Since it is possible that at some point we will want to have TX timestamping and wifi status in a single errqueue SKB (there's little point in not doing that), redefine SO_EE_ORIGIN_TIMESTAMPING to SO_EE_ORIGIN_TXSTATUS which can collect more than just the timestamp; keep the old constant as an alias of course. Currently the internal APIs don't make that possible, but it wouldn't be hard to split them up in a way that makes it possible. Thanks to Neil Horman for helping me figure out the functions that add the control messages. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville
