commit c39df5fa37b0623589508c95515b4aa1531c524e upstream.

Commit 8aac62706ada ("move exit_task_namespaces() outside of
exit_notify()") breaks pppd and the exiting service crashes the kernel:

    BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000028
    IP: ppp_register_channel+0x13/0x20 [ppp_generic]
    Call Trace:
      ppp_asynctty_open+0x12b/0x170 [ppp_async]
      tty_ldisc_open.isra.2+0x27/0x60
      tty_ldisc_hangup+0x1e3/0x220
      __tty_hangup+0x2c4/0x440
      disassociate_ctty+0x61/0x270
      do_exit+0x7f2/0xa50

ppp_register_channel() needs -&gt;net_ns and current-&gt;nsproxy == NULL.

Move disassociate_ctty() before exit_task_namespaces(), it doesn't make
sense to delay it after perf_event_exit_task() or cgroup_exit().

This also allows to use task_work_add() inside the (nontrivial) code
paths in disassociate_ctty().

<title>wait: fix reparent_leader() vs EXIT_DEAD-&gt;EXIT_ZOMBIE race</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f3e9310e26ff2391d9007c2c47bd88a720e62c37</id>
<content type='text'>
commit dfccbb5e49a621c1b21a62527d61fc4305617aca upstream.

wait_task_zombie() first does EXIT_ZOMBIE-&gt;EXIT_DEAD transition and
drops tasklist_lock.  If this task is not the natural child and it is
traced, we change its state back to EXIT_ZOMBIE for -&gt;real_parent.

The last transition is racy, this is even documented in 50b8d257486a
"ptrace: partially fix the do_wait(WEXITED) vs EXIT_DEAD-&gt;EXIT_ZOMBIE
race".  wait_consider_task() tries to detect this transition and clear
-&gt;notask_error but we can't rely on ptrace_reparented(), debugger can
exit and do ptrace_unlink() before its sub-thread sets EXIT_ZOMBIE.

And there is another problem which were missed before: this transition
can also race with reparent_leader() which doesn't reset &gt;exit_signal if
EXIT_DEAD, assuming that this task must be reaped by someone else.  So
the tracee can be re-parented with -&gt;exit_signal != SIGCHLD, and if
/sbin/init doesn't use __WALL it becomes unreapable.

Change reparent_leader() to update -&gt;exit_signal even if EXIT_DEAD.
Note: this is the simple temporary hack for -stable, it doesn't try to
solve all problems, it will be reverted by the next changes.

<title>sparc64: Make sure %pil interrupts are enabled during hypervisor yield.</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit cb3042d609e30e6144024801c89be3925106752b ]

In arch_cpu_idle() we must enable %pil based interrupts before
potentially invoking the hypervisor cpu yield call.

As per the Hypervisor API documentation for cpu_yield:

	Interrupts which are blocked by some mechanism other that
	pstate.ie (for example %pil) are not guaranteed to cause
	a return from this service.

It seems that only first generation Niagara chips are hit by this
bug.  My best guess is that later chips implement this in hardware
and wake up anyways from %pil events, whereas in first generation
chips the yield is implemented completely in hypervisor code and
requires %pil to be enabled in order to wake properly from this
call.

<title>sparc64: don't treat 64-bit syscall return codes as 32-bit</title>

[ Upstream commit 1535bd8adbdedd60a0ee62e28fd5225d66434371 ]

When checking a system call return code for an error,
linux_sparc_syscall was sign-extending the lower 32-bit value and
comparing it to -ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK. lseek can return valid return
codes whose lower 32-bits alone would indicate a failure (such as 4G-1).
Use the whole 64-bit value to check for errors. Only the 32-bit path
should sign extend the lower 32-bit value.

[ Upstream commit 4f6500fff5f7644a03c46728fd7ef0f62fa6940b ]

In arch/sparc/Kernel/Makefile, we see:

   obj-$(CONFIG_SPARC64)   += jump_label.o

However, the Kconfig selects HAVE_ARCH_JUMP_LABEL unconditionally
for all SPARC.  This in turn leads to the following failure when
doing allmodconfig coverage builds:

kernel/built-in.o: In function `__jump_label_update':
jump_label.c:(.text+0x8560c): undefined reference to `arch_jump_label_transform'
kernel/built-in.o: In function `arch_jump_label_transform_static':
(.text+0x85cf4): undefined reference to `arch_jump_label_transform'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

Change HAVE_ARCH_JUMP_LABEL to be conditional on SPARC64 so that it
matches the Makefile.

commit 3ead9578443b66ddb3d50ed4f53af8a0c0298ec5 upstream.

@wait is a local variable, so if we don't remove it from the wait queue
list, later wake_up() may end up accessing invalid memory.

This was spotted by eyes.

The variable csize in structure jffs2_tmp_dnode_info is of type uint16_t, but it
is used to hold the compressed data length(csize) which is declared as uint32_t.
So, when the value of csize exceeds 16bits, it gets truncated when assigned to
tn-&gt;csize. This is causing a kernel BUG.
Changing the definition of csize in jffs2_tmp_dnode_info to uint32_t fixes the issue.

commit 3367da5610c50e6b83f86d366d72b41b350b06a2 upstream.

Creating a large file on a JFFS2 partition sometimes crashes with this call

Segmentation fault

This crash is caused because the 'positions' is declared as an array of signed
short. The value of position is in the range 0..65535, and will be converted
to a negative number when the position is greater than 32767 and causes a
corruption and crash. Changing the definition to 'unsigned short' fixes this
issue
