[Greg KH <gregkh@suse.de>]

2.6.36-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

From: Bart Oldeman <bartoldeman@gmail.com>

commit 6554287b1de0448f1e02e200d02b43914e997d15 upstream.

Impact: fix kernel bug such as:
BUG: scheduling while atomic: dosemu.bin/19680/0x00000004

("Use preempt_conditional_sti/cli in do_int3, like on x86_64.")
and 3d2a71a596bd9c761c8487a2178e95f8a61da083
("x86, traps: converge do_debug handlers")
started disabling preemption in int1 and int3 handlers on i386.
The problem with vm86 is that the call to handle_vm86_trap() may jump
straight to entry_32.S and never returns so preempt is never enabled
again, and there is an imbalance in the preempt count.

Commit be716615fe596ee117292dc615e95f707fb67fd1 ("x86, vm86:
fix preemption bug"), which was later (accidentally?) reverted by commit
08d68323d1f0c34452e614263b212ca556dae47f ("hw-breakpoints: modifying
generic debug exception to use thread-specific debug registers")
fixed the problem for debug exceptions but not for breakpoints.

There are three solutions to this problem.

1. Reenable preemption before calling handle_vm86_trap(). This
was the approach that was later reverted.

2. Do not disable preemption for i386 in breakpoint and debug handlers.
This was the situation before October 2008. As far as I understand
preemption only needs to be disabled on x86_64 because a seperate stack is
used, but it's nice to have things work the same way on
i386 and x86_64.

3. Let handle_vm86_trap() return instead of jumping to assembly code.
By setting a flag in _TIF_WORK_MASK, either TIF_IRET or TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME,
the code in entry_32.S is instructed to return to 32 bit mode from
V86 mode. The logic in entry_32.S was already present to handle signals.
(I chose TIF_IRET because it's slightly more efficient in
do_notify_resume() in signal.c, but in fact TIF_IRET can probably be
replaced by TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME everywhere.)

I'm submitting approach 3, because I believe it is the most elegant
and prevents future confusion. Still, an obvious
preempt_conditional_cli(regs); is necessary in traps.c to correct the
bug.

[ hpa: This is technically a regression, but because:
  1. the regression is so old,
  2. the patch seems relatively high risk, justifying more testing, and
  3. we're late in the 2.6.36-rc cycle,

  I'm queuing it up for the 2.6.37 merge window.  It might, however,
  justify as a -stable backport at a latter time, hence Cc: stable. ]
