commit 70e6b7d9ae3c63df90a7bba7700e8d5c300c3c60 upstream.

Leaving the PIT interrupt running can cause noticeable steal time for
virtual guests. The VMM generally has a timer which toggles the IRQ input
to the PIC and I/O APIC, which takes CPU time away from the guest. Even
on real hardware, running the counter may use power needlessly (albeit
not much).

Make sure it's turned off if it isn't going to be used.

[ Upstream commit 482ad2a4ace2740ca0ff1cbc8f3c7f862f3ab507 ]

dev-&gt;nd_net can change, readers should either
use rcu_read_lock() or RTNL.

We currently use a generic helper, dev_net() with
no debugging support. We probably have many hidden bugs.

Add dev_net_rcu() helper for callers using rcu_read_lock()
protection.

<title>cgroup: fix race between fork and cgroup.kill</title>

<content type='text'>
commit b69bb476dee99d564d65d418e9a20acca6f32c3f upstream.

Tejun reported the following race between fork() and cgroup.kill at [1].

Tejun:
  I was looking at cgroup.kill implementation and wondering whether there
  could be a race window. So, __cgroup_kill() does the following:

   k1. Set CGRP_KILL.
   k2. Iterate tasks and deliver SIGKILL.
   k3. Clear CGRP_KILL.

  The copy_process() does the following:

   c1. Copy a bunch of stuff.
   c2. Grab siglock.
   c3. Check fatal_signal_pending().
   c4. Commit to forking.
   c5. Release siglock.
   c6. Call cgroup_post_fork() which puts the task on the css_set and tests
       CGRP_KILL.

  The intention seems to be that either a forking task gets SIGKILL and
  terminates on c3 or it sees CGRP_KILL on c6 and kills the child. However, I
  don't see what guarantees that k3 can't happen before c6. ie. After a
  forking task passes c5, k2 can take place and then before the forking task
  reaches c6, k3 can happen. Then, nobody would send SIGKILL to the child.
  What am I missing?

This is indeed a race. One way to fix this race is by taking
cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem in write mode in __cgroup_kill() as the fork()
side takes cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem in read mode from cgroup_can_fork()
to cgroup_post_fork(). However that would be heavy handed as this adds
one more potential stall scenario for cgroup.kill which is usually
called under extreme situation like memory pressure.

To fix this race, let's maintain a sequence number per cgroup which gets
incremented on __cgroup_kill() call. On the fork() side, the
cgroup_can_fork() will cache the sequence number locally and recheck it
against the cgroup's sequence number at cgroup_post_fork() site. If the
sequence numbers mismatch, it means __cgroup_kill() can been called and
we should send SIGKILL to the newly created task.

<title>efi: Avoid cold plugged memory for placing the kernel</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b5bfb235f7e10577d88030742683c3cf6b8e30b2</id>
<content type='text'>
commit ba69e0750b0362870294adab09339a0c39c3beaf upstream.

UEFI 2.11 introduced EFI_MEMORY_HOT_PLUGGABLE to annotate system memory
regions that are 'cold plugged' at boot, i.e., hot pluggable memory that
is available from early boot, and described as system RAM by the
firmware.

Existing loaders and EFI applications running in the boot context will
happily use this memory for allocating data structures that cannot be
freed or moved at runtime, and this prevents the memory from being
unplugged. Going forward, the new EFI_MEMORY_HOT_PLUGGABLE attribute
should be tested, and memory annotated as such should be avoided for
such allocations.

In the EFI stub, there are a couple of occurrences where, instead of the
high-level AllocatePages() UEFI boot service, a low-level code sequence
is used that traverses the EFI memory map and carves out the requested
number of pages from a free region. This is needed, e.g., for allocating
as low as possible, or for allocating pages at random.

While AllocatePages() should presumably avoid special purpose memory and
cold plugged regions, this manual approach needs to incorporate this
logic itself, in order to prevent the kernel itself from ending up in a
hot unpluggable region, preventing it from being unplugged.

So add the EFI_MEMORY_HOTPLUGGABLE macro definition, and check for it
where appropriate.

[ Upstream commit 1f47ed294a2bd577d5ae43e6e28e1c9a3be4a833 ]

The conditions for whether or not a request is allowed adding to a
completion batch are a bit hard to read, and they also have a few
issues. One is that ioerror may indeed be a random value on passthrough,
and it's being checked unconditionally of whether or not the given
request is a passthrough request or not.

Rewrite the conditions to be separate for easier reading, and only check
ioerror for non-passthrough requests. This fixes an issue with bio
unmapping on passthrough, where it fails getting added to a batch. This
both leads to suboptimal performance, and may trigger a potential
schedule-under-atomic condition for polled passthrough IO.

commit 8259cb14a70680553d5e82d65d1302fe589e9b39 upstream.

RV per-task monitors are implemented through a monitor structure
available for each task_struct. This structure is reset every time the
monitor is (re-)started, to avoid inconsistencies if the monitor was
activated previously.
To do so, we reset the monitor on all threads using the macro
for_each_process_thread. However, this macro excludes the idle tasks on
each CPU. Idle tasks could be considered tasks on their own right and it
should be up to the model whether to ignore them or not.

Reset monitors also on the idle tasks for each present CPU whenever we
reset all per-task monitors.
