commit 4af4206be2bd1933cae20c2b6fb2058dbc887f7c upstream.

syscall_regfunc() and syscall_unregfunc() should set/clear
TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT system-wide, but do_each_thread() can race
with copy_process() and miss the new child which was not added to
the process/thread lists yet.

Change copy_process() to update the child's TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT
under tasklist.

commit 098507ae3ec2331476fb52e85d4040c1cc6d0ef4 upstream.

The replacement of the 'count' variable by two variables 'incs' and
'decs' to resolve some race conditions during module unloading was done
in parallel with some cleanup in the trace subsystem, and was integrated
as a merge.

Unfortunately, the formula for this replacement was wrong in the tracing
code, and the refcount in the traces was not usable as a result.

Use 'count = incs - decs' to compute the user count.

<title>blktrace: fix accounting of partially completed requests</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5b85afa68e4f56c27f1d5c6f49e5257bce6448e6</id>
<content type='text'>
commit af5040da01ef980670b3741b3e10733ee3e33566 upstream.

trace_block_rq_complete does not take into account that request can
be partially completed, so we can get the following incorrect output
of blkparser:

  C   R 232 + 240 [0]
  C   R 240 + 232 [0]
  C   R 248 + 224 [0]
  C   R 256 + 216 [0]

but should be:

  C   R 232 + 8 [0]
  C   R 240 + 8 [0]
  C   R 248 + 8 [0]
  C   R 256 + 8 [0]

Also, the whole output summary statistics of completed requests and
final throughput will be incorrect.

This patch takes into account real completion size of the request and
fixes wrong completion accounting.

commit 4e58e54754dc1fec21c3a9e824bc108b05fdf46e upstream.

If an TRACE_EVENT() uses __assign_str() or __get_str on a NULL pointer
then the following oops will happen:

---[ end trace 01bc47bf519ec1b2 ]---

New tracepoints have been added that have allowed for NULL pointers
being assigned to strings. To fix this, change the TRACE_EVENT() code
to check for NULL and if it is, it will assign "(null)" to it instead
(similar to what glibc printf does).

<title>xen/mmu: Use Xen specific TLB flush instead of the generic one.</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 95a7d76897c1e7243d4137037c66d15cbf2cce76 upstream.

As Mukesh explained it, the MMUEXT_TLB_FLUSH_ALL allows the
hypervisor to do a TLB flush on all active vCPUs. If instead
we were using the generic one (which ends up being xen_flush_tlb)
we end up making the MMUEXT_TLB_FLUSH_LOCAL hypercall. But
before we make that hypercall the kernel will IPI all of the
vCPUs (even those that were asleep from the hypervisor
perspective). The end result is that we needlessly wake them
up and do a TLB flush when we can just let the hypervisor
do it correctly.

This patch gives around 50% speed improvement when migrating
idle guest's from one host to another.

commit 85f2a2ef1d0ab99523e0b947a2b723f5650ed6aa upstream.

When allocating memory fails, page is NULL. page_to_pfn() will
cause the kernel panicked if we don't use sparsemem vmemmap.

commit 977b7e3a52a7421ad33a393a38ece59f3d41c2fa upstream.

When a SD card is hot removed without umount, del_gendisk() will call
bdi_unregister() without destroying/freeing it. This leaves the bdi in
the bdi-&gt;dev = NULL, bdi-&gt;wb.task = NULL, bdi-&gt;bdi_list removed state.

When sync(2) gets the bdi before bdi_unregister() and calls
bdi_queue_work() after the unregister, trace_writeback_queue will be
dereferencing the NULL bdi-&gt;dev. Fix it with a simple test for NULL.

bdi_prune_sb() resets sb-&gt;s_bdi to default_backing_dev_info when the
tearing down the original bdi. Fix trace_writeback_single_inode to
use sb-&gt;s_bdi=default_backing_dev_info rather than bdi-&gt;dev=NULL for a
teared down bdi.
