commit 2dfca312a91631311c1cf7c090246cc8103de038 upstream.

brcm80211 cannot handle sending frames with CCK rates as part of an
A-MPDU session. Other drivers may have issues too. Set the flag in all
drivers that have been tested with CCK rates.

This fixes a reported brcmsmac regression introduced in
commit ef47a5e4f1aaf1d0e2e6875e34b2c9595897bef6
"mac80211/minstrel_ht: fix cck rate sampling"

commit 5ea80f76a56605a190a7ea16846c82aa63dbd0aa upstream.

This reverts commit df54d6fa54275ce59660453e29d1228c2b45a826.

The commit isn't necessarily wrong, but because it recalculates the
random mmap_base every time, it seems to confuse user memory allocators
that expect contiguous mmap allocations even when the mmap address isn't
specified.

In particular, the MATLAB Java runtime seems to be unhappy. See

  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60774

So we'll want to apply the random offset only once, and Radu has a patch
for that.  Revert this older commit in order to apply the other one.

<title>SCSI: zfcp: fix lock imbalance by reworking request queue locking</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bda5d1efa09527e443a6990f81459779a313e24d</id>
<content type='text'>
commit d79ff142624e1be080ad8d09101f7004d79c36e1 upstream.

This patch adds wait_event_interruptible_lock_irq_timeout(), which is a
straight-forward descendant of wait_event_interruptible_timeout() and
wait_event_interruptible_lock_irq().

The zfcp driver used to call wait_event_interruptible_timeout()
in combination with some intricate and error-prone locking. Using
wait_event_interruptible_lock_irq_timeout() as a replacement
nicely cleans up that locking.

This rework removes a situation that resulted in a locking imbalance
in zfcp_qdio_sbal_get():

BUG: workqueue leaked lock or atomic: events/1/0xffffff00/10
    last function: zfcp_fc_wka_port_offline+0x0/0xa0 [zfcp]

It was introduced by commit c2af7545aaff3495d9bf9a7608c52f0af86fb194
"[SCSI] zfcp: Do not wait for SBALs on stopped queue", which had a new
code path related to ZFCP_STATUS_ADAPTER_QDIOUP that took an early exit
without a required lock being held. The problem occured when a
special, non-SCSI I/O request was being submitted in process context,
when the adapter's queues had been torn down. In this case the bug
surfaced when the Fibre Channel port connection for a well-known address
was closed during a concurrent adapter shut-down procedure, which is a
rare constellation.

This patch also fixes these warnings from the sparse tool (make C=1):

drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp_qdio.c:224:12: warning: context imbalance in
 'zfcp_qdio_sbal_check' - wrong count at exit
drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp_qdio.c:244:5: warning: context imbalance in
 'zfcp_qdio_sbal_get' - unexpected unlock

Last but not least, we get rid of that crappy lock-unlock-lock
sequence at the beginning of the critical section.

It is okay to call zfcp_erp_adapter_reopen() with req_q_lock held.

<title>tracing: trace_remove_event_call() should fail if call/file is in use</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8169887b694aa3d9632fdd0308aaa1db7c422e75</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 2816c551c796ec14620325b2c9ed75b9979d3125 upstream.

Change trace_remove_event_call(call) to return the error if this
call is active. This is what the callers assume but can't verify
outside of the tracing locks. Both trace_kprobe.c/trace_uprobe.c
need the additional changes, unregister_trace_probe() should abort
if trace_remove_event_call() fails.

The caller is going to free this call/file so we must ensure that
nobody can use them after trace_remove_event_call() succeeds.
debugfs should be fine after the previous changes and event_remove()
does TRACE_REG_UNREGISTER, but still there are 2 reasons why we need
the additional checks:

- There could be a perf_event(s) attached to this tp_event, so the
  patch checks -&gt;perf_refcount.

- TRACE_REG_UNREGISTER can be suppressed by FTRACE_EVENT_FL_SOFT_MODE,
  so we simply check FTRACE_EVENT_FL_ENABLED protected by event_mutex.

<title>ACPI: Try harder to resolve _ADR collisions for bridges</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6e4fdb803584635587bd4dc00d1f8c0883a02d3b</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 60f75b8e97daf4a39790a20d962cb861b9220af5 upstream.

In theory, under a given ACPI namespace node there should be only
one child device object with _ADR whose value matches a given bus
address exactly.  In practice, however, there are systems in which
multiple child device objects under a given parent have _ADR matching
exactly the same address.  In those cases we use _STA to determine
which of the multiple matching devices is enabled, since some systems
are known to indicate which ACPI device object to associate with the
given physical (usually PCI) device this way.

Unfortunately, as it turns out, there are systems in which many
device objects under the same parent have _ADR matching exactly the
same bus address and none of them has _STA, in which case they all
should be regarded as enabled according to the spec.  Still, if
those device objects are supposed to represent bridges (e.g. this
is the case for device objects corresponding to PCIe ports), we can
try harder and skip the ones that have no child device objects in the
ACPI namespace.  With luck, we can avoid using device objects that we
are not expected to use this way.

Although this only works for bridges whose children also have ACPI
namespace representation, it is sufficient to address graphics
adapter detection issues on some systems, so rework the code finding
a matching device ACPI handle for a given bus address to implement
this idea.

Introduce a new function, acpi_find_child(), taking three arguments:
the ACPI handle of the device's parent, a bus address suitable for
the device's bus type and a bool indicating if the device is a
bridge and make it work as outlined above.  Reimplement the function
currently used for this purpose, acpi_get_child(), as a call to
acpi_find_child() with the last argument set to 'false' and make
the PCI subsystem use acpi_find_child() with the bridge information
passed as the last argument to it.  [Lan Tianyu notices that it is
not sufficient to use pci_is_bridge() for that, because the device's
subordinate pointer hasn't been set yet at this point, so use
hdr_type instead.]

This change fixes a regression introduced inadvertently by commit
33f767d (ACPI: Rework acpi_get_child() to be more efficient) which
overlooked the fact that for acpi_walk_namespace() "post-order" means
"after all children have been visited" rather than "on the way back",
so for device objects without children and for namespace walks of
depth 1, as in the acpi_get_child() case, the "post-order" callbacks
ordering is actually the same as the ordering of "pre-order" ones.
Since that commit changed the namespace walk in acpi_get_child() to
terminate after finding the first matching object instead of going
through all of them and returning the last one, it effectively
changed the result returned by that function in some rare cases and
that led to problems (the switch from a "pre-order" to a "post-order"
callback was supposed to prevent that from happening, but it was
ineffective).

As it turns out, the systems where the change made by commit
33f767d actually matters are those where there are multiple ACPI
device objects representing the same PCIe port (which effectively
is a bridge).  Moreover, only one of them, and the one we are
expected to use, has child device objects in the ACPI namespace,
so the regression can be addressed as described above.

<title>Fix TLB gather virtual address range invalidation corner cases</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 2b047252d087be7f2ba088b4933cd904f92e6fce upstream.

Ben Tebulin reported:

 "Since v3.7.2 on two independent machines a very specific Git
  repository fails in 9/10 cases on git-fsck due to an SHA1/memory
  failures.  This only occurs on a very specific repository and can be
  reproduced stably on two independent laptops.  Git mailing list ran
  out of ideas and for me this looks like some very exotic kernel issue"

and bisected the failure to the backport of commit 53a59fc67f97 ("mm:
limit mmu_gather batching to fix soft lockups on !CONFIG_PREEMPT").

That commit itself is not actually buggy, but what it does is to make it
much more likely to hit the partial TLB invalidation case, since it
introduces a new case in tlb_next_batch() that previously only ever
happened when running out of memory.

The real bug is that the TLB gather virtual memory range setup is subtly
buggered.  It was introduced in commit 597e1c3580b7 ("mm/mmu_gather:
enable tlb flush range in generic mmu_gather"), and the range handling
was already fixed at least once in commit e6c495a96ce0 ("mm: fix the TLB
range flushed when __tlb_remove_page() runs out of slots"), but that fix
was not complete.

The problem with the TLB gather virtual address range is that it isn't
set up by the initial tlb_gather_mmu() initialization (which didn't get
the TLB range information), but it is set up ad-hoc later by the
functions that actually flush the TLB.  And so any such case that forgot
to update the TLB range entries would potentially miss TLB invalidates.

Rather than try to figure out exactly which particular ad-hoc range
setup was missing (I personally suspect it's the hugetlb case in
zap_huge_pmd(), which didn't have the same logic as zap_pte_range()
did), this patch just gets rid of the problem at the source: make the
TLB range information available to tlb_gather_mmu(), and initialize it
when initializing all the other tlb gather fields.

This makes the patch larger, but conceptually much simpler.  And the end
result is much more understandable; even if you want to play games with
partial ranges when invalidating the TLB contents in chunks, now the
range information is always there, and anybody who doesn't want to
bother with it won't introduce subtle bugs.

Ben verified that this fixes his problem.

<title>elevator: Fix a race in elevator switching</title>

<content type='text'>
commit d50235b7bc3ee0a0427984d763ea7534149531b4 upstream.

There's a race between elevator switching and normal io operation.
    Because the allocation of struct elevator_queue and struct elevator_data
    don't in a atomic operation.So there are have chance to use NULL
    -&gt;elevator_data.
    For example:
        Thread A:                               Thread B
        blk_queu_bio                            elevator_switch
        spin_lock_irq(q-&gt;queue_block)           elevator_alloc
        elv_merge                               elevator_init_fn

    Because call elevator_alloc, it can't hold queue_lock and the
    -&gt;elevator_data is NULL.So at the same time, threadA call elv_merge and
    nedd some info of elevator_data.So the crash happened.

    Move the elevator_alloc into func elevator_init_fn, it make the
    operations in a atomic operation.

    Using the follow method can easy reproduce this bug
    1:dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null
    2:while true;do echo noop &gt; scheduler;echo deadline &gt; scheduler;done

    The test method also use this method.

commit df54d6fa54275ce59660453e29d1228c2b45a826 upstream.

When the stack is set to unlimited, the bottomup direction is used for
mmap-ings but the mmap_base is not used and thus effectively renders
ASLR for mmapings along with PIE useless.
