commit 8ded2bbc1845e19c771eb55209aab166ef011243 upstream.
Recently, glibc made a change to suppress sign-conversion warnings in
FD_SET (glibc commit ceb9e56b3d1). This uncovered an issue with the
kernel's definition of __NFDBITS if applications #include
<linux/types.h> after including <sys/select.h>. A build failure would
be seen when passing the -Werror=sign-compare and -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
flags to gcc.
It was suggested that the kernel should either match the glibc
definition of __NFDBITS or remove that entirely. The current in-kernel
uses of __NFDBITS can be replaced with BITS_PER_LONG, and there are no
uses of the related __FDELT and __FDMASK defines. Given that, we'll
continue the cleanup that was started with commit 8b3d1cda4f5f
("posix_types: Remove fd_set macros") and drop the remaining unused
macros.
Additionally, linux/time.h has similar macros defined that expand to
nothing so we'll remove those at the same time.

commit 6575820221f7a4dd6eadecf7bf83cdd154335eda upstream.
Currently, all workqueue cpu hotplug operations run off
CPU_PRI_WORKQUEUE which is higher than normal notifiers. This is to
ensure that workqueue is up and running while bringing up a CPU before
other notifiers try to use workqueue on the CPU.
Per-cpu workqueues are supposed to remain working and bound to the CPU
for normal CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifiers. This holds mostly true even
with workqueue offlining running with higher priority because
workqueue CPU_DOWN_PREPARE only creates a bound trustee thread which
runs the per-cpu workqueue without concurrency management without
explicitly detaching the existing workers.
However, if the trustee needs to create new workers, it creates
unbound workers which may wander off to other CPUs while
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifiers are in progress. Furthermore, if the CPU
down is cancelled, the per-CPU workqueue may end up with workers which
aren't bound to the CPU.
While reliably reproducible with a convoluted artificial test-case
involving scheduling and flushing CPU burning work items from CPU down
notifiers, this isn't very likely to happen in the wild, and, even
when it happens, the effects are likely to be hidden by the following
successful CPU down.
Fix it by using different priorities for up and down notifiers - high
priority for up operations and low priority for down operations.
Workqueue cpu hotplug operations will soon go through further cleanup.

commit b09e786bd1dd66418b69348cb110f3a64764626a upstream.
This patch fixes a crash
tun_chr_close -> netdev_run_todo -> tun_free_netdev -> sk_release_kernel ->
sock_release -> iput(SOCK_INODE(sock))
introduced by commit 1ab5ecb90cb6a3df1476e052f76a6e8f6511cb3d
The problem is that this socket is embedded in struct tun_struct, it has
no inode, iput is called on invalid inode, which modifies invalid memory
and optionally causes a crash.
sock_release also decrements sockets_in_use, this causes a bug that
"sockets: used" field in /proc/*/net/sockstat keeps on decreasing when
creating and closing tun devices.
This patch introduces a flag SOCK_EXTERNALLY_ALLOCATED that instructs
sock_release to not free the inode and not decrement sockets_in_use,
fixing both memory corruption and sockets_in_use underflow.
It should be backported to 3.3 an 3.4 stabke.

commit 6751ed65dc6642af64f7b8a440a75563c8aab7ae upstream.
In commit dad1743e5993f1 ("x86/mce: Only restart instruction after machine
check recovery if it is safe") we fixed mce_notify_process() to force a
signal to the current process if it was not restartable (RIPV bit not
set in MCG_STATUS). But doing it here means that the process doesn't
get told the virtual address of the fault via siginfo_t->si_addr. This
would prevent application level recovery from the fault.
Make a new MF_MUST_KILL flag bit for memory_failure() et al. to use so
that we will provide the right information with the signal.

This is a backport of f6c06abfb3972ad4914cef57d8348fcb2932bc3b
To finally fix the infamous leap second issue and other race windows
caused by functions which change the offsets between the various time
bases (CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME) we need a
function which atomically gets the current monotonic time and updates
the offsets of CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME with minimalistic
overhead. The previous patch which provides ktime_t offsets allows us
to make this function almost as cheap as ktime_get() which is going to
be replaced in hrtimer_interrupt().

This is a backport of f55a6faa384304c89cfef162768e88374d3312cb
clock_was_set() cannot be called from hard interrupt context because
it calls on_each_cpu().
For fixing the widely reported leap seconds issue it is necessary to
call it from hard interrupt context, i.e. the timer tick code, which
does the timekeeping updates.
Provide a new function which denotes it in the hrtimer cpu base
structure of the cpu on which it is called and raise the hrtimer
softirq. We then execute the clock_was_set() notificiation from
softirq context in run_hrtimer_softirq(). The hrtimer softirq is
rarely used, so polling the flag there is not a performance issue.

commit 5167e8d5417bf5c322a703d2927daec727ea40dd upstream.
Thanks to Charles Wang for spotting the defects in the current code:
- If we go idle during the sample window -- after sampling, we get a
negative bias because we can negate our own sample.
- If we wake up during the sample window we get a positive bias
because we push the sample to a known active period.
So rewrite the entire nohz load-avg muck once again, now adding
copious documentation to the code.

commit 29f6738609e40227dabcc63bfb3b84b3726a75bd upstream.
memblock_free_reserved_regions() calls memblock_free(), but
memblock_free() would double reserved.regions too, so we could free the
old range for reserved.regions.
Also tj said there is another bug which could be related to this.
| I don't think we're saving any noticeable
| amount by doing this "free - give it to page allocator - reserve
| again" dancing. We should just allocate regions aligned to page
| boundaries and free them later when memblock is no longer in use.
in that case, when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, will get panic:

commit d8adde17e5f858427504725218c56aef90e90fc7 upstream.
kswapd_stop() is called to destroy the kswapd work thread when all memory
of a NUMA node has been offlined. But kswapd_stop() only terminates the
work thread without resetting NODE_DATA(nid)->kswapd to NULL. The stale
pointer will prevent kswapd_run() from creating a new work thread when
adding memory to the memory-less NUMA node again. Eventually the stale
pointer may cause invalid memory access.
An example stack dump as below. It's reproduced with 2.6.32, but latest
kernel has the same issue.

commit 047fe3605235888f3ebcda0c728cb31937eadfe6 upstream.
Dave Jones reported a kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3474! triggered
by splice_shrink_spd() called from vmsplice_to_pipe()
commit 35f3d14dbbc5 (pipe: add support for shrinking and growing pipes)
added capability to adjust pipe->buffers.
Problem is some paths don't hold pipe mutex and assume pipe->buffers
doesn't change for their duration.
Fix this by adding nr_pages_max field in struct splice_pipe_desc, and
use it in place of pipe->buffers where appropriate.
splice_shrink_spd() loses its struct pipe_inode_info argument.

upstream commit 9793f7c88937e7ac07305ab1af1a519225836823.
This new routine is responsible for service registration in a specified
network context.
The idea is to separate service creation from per-net operations.
Note also: since registering service with svc_bind() can fail, the
service will be destroyed and during destruction it will try to
unregister itself from rpcbind. In this case unregistration has to be
skipped.

commit dbf0e4c7257f8d684ec1a3c919853464293de66e upstream.
Quite a few ASUS computers experience a nasty problem, related to the
EHCI controllers, when going into system suspend. It was observed
that the problem didn't occur if the controllers were not put into the
D3 power state before starting the suspend, and commit
151b61284776be2d6f02d48c23c3625678960b97 (USB: EHCI: fix crash during
suspend on ASUS computers) was created to do this.
It turned out this approach messed up other computers that didn't have
the problem -- it prevented USB wakeup from working. Consequently
commit c2fb8a3fa25513de8fedb38509b1f15a5bbee47b (USB: add
NO_D3_DURING_SLEEP flag and revert 151b61284776be2) was merged; it
reverted the earlier commit and added a whitelist of known good board
names.
Now we know the actual cause of the problem. Thanks to AceLan Kao for
tracking it down.
According to him, an engineer at ASUS explained that some of their
BIOSes contain a bug that was added in an attempt to work around a
problem in early versions of Windows. When the computer goes into S3
suspend, the BIOS tries to verify that the EHCI controllers were first
quiesced by the OS. Nothing's wrong with this, but the BIOS does it
by checking that the PCI COMMAND registers contain 0 without checking
the controllers' power state. If the register isn't 0, the BIOS
assumes the controller needs to be quiesced and tries to do so. This
involves making various MMIO accesses to the controller, which don't
work very well if the controller is already in D3. The end result is
a system hang or memory corruption.
Since the value in the PCI COMMAND register doesn't matter once the
controller has been suspended, and since the value will be restored
anyway when the controller is resumed, we can work around the BIOS bug
simply by setting the register to 0 during system suspend. This patch
(as1590) does so and also reverts the second commit mentioned above,
which is now unnecessary.
In theory we could do this for every PCI device. However to avoid
introducing new problems, the patch restricts itself to EHCI host
controllers.
Finally the affected systems can suspend with USB wakeup working
properly.

commit 2dfd06036ba7ae8e7be2daf5a2fff1dac42390bf upstream.
Ocfs2 uses kiocb.*private as a flag of unsigned long size. In
commit a11f7e6 ocfs2: serialize unaligned aio, the unaligned
io flag is involved in it to serialize the unaligned aio. As
*private is not initialized in init_sync_kiocb() of do_sync_write(),
this unaligned io flag may be unexpectly set in an aligned dio.
And this will cause OCFS2_I(inode)->ip_unaligned_aio decreased
to -1 in ocfs2_dio_end_io(), thus the following unaligned dio
will hang forever at ocfs2_aiodio_wait() in ocfs2_file_aio_write().

commit 15fd943af50dbc5f7f4de33835795c72595f7bf4 upstream.
When inbound messages arrive, rpmsg core looks up their associated
endpoint (by destination address) and then invokes their callback.
We've made sure that endpoints will never be de-allocated after they
were found by rpmsg core, but we also need to protect against the
(rare) scenario where the rpmsg driver was just removed, and its
callback function isn't available anymore.
This is achieved by introducing a callback mutex, which must be taken
before the callback is invoked, and, obviously, before it is removed.

commit 5a081caa0414b9bbb82c17ffab9d6fe66edbb72f upstream.
When an inbound message arrives, the rpmsg core looks up its
associated endpoint and invokes the registered callback.
If a message arrives while its endpoint is being removed (because
the rpmsg driver was removed, or a recovery of a remote processor
has kicked in) we must ensure atomicity, i.e.:
- Either the ept is removed before it is found
or
- The ept is found but will not be freed until the callback returns
This is achieved by maintaining a per-ept reference count, which,
when drops to zero, will trigger deallocation of the ept.
With this in hand, it is now forbidden to directly deallocate
epts once they have been added to the endpoints idr.

slab_lock. That corrupts page counter.
Fix it by moving page->_count out of cmpxchg_double data. So that slub
does no change it while updating slub meta-data in struct page.

[ Upstream commit 62b1a8ab9b3660bb820d8dfe23148ed6cda38574 ]
Orphaning skb in dev_hard_start_xmit() makes bonding behavior
unfriendly for applications sending big UDP bursts : Once packets
pass the bonding device and come to real device, they might hit a full
qdisc and be dropped. Without orphaning, the sender is automatically
throttled because sk->sk_wmemalloc reaches sk->sk_sndbuf (assuming
sk_sndbuf is not too big)
We could try to defer the orphaning adding another test in
dev_hard_start_xmit(), but all this seems of little gain,
now that BQL tends to make packets more likely to be parked
in Qdisc queues instead of NIC TX ring, in cases where performance
matters.

commit c2fb8a3fa25513de8fedb38509b1f15a5bbee47b upstream.
This patch (as1558) fixes a problem affecting several ASUS computers:
The machine crashes or corrupts memory when going into suspend if the
ehci-hcd driver is bound to any controllers. Users have been forced
to unbind or unload ehci-hcd before putting their systems to sleep.
After extensive testing, it was determined that the machines don't
like going into suspend when any EHCI controllers are in the PCI D3
power state. Presumably this is a firmware bug, but there's nothing
we can do about it except to avoid putting the controllers in D3
during system sleep.
The patch adds a new flag to indicate whether the problem is present,
and avoids changing the controller's power state if the flag is set.
Runtime suspend is unaffected; this matters only for system suspend.
However as a side effect, the controller will not respond to remote
wakeup requests while the system is asleep. Hence USB wakeup is not
functional -- but of course, this is already true in the current state
of affairs.
A similar patch has already been applied as commit
151b61284776be2d6f02d48c23c3625678960b97 (USB: EHCI: fix crash during
suspend on ASUS computers). The patch supersedes that one and reverts
it. There are two differences:
The old patch added the flag at the USB level; this patch
adds it at the PCI level.
The old patch applied to all chipsets with the same vendor,
subsystem vendor, and product IDs; this patch makes an
exception for a known-good system (based on DMI information).

commit 9b15b817f3d62409290fd56fe3cbb076a931bb0a upstream.
Minchan Kim reports that when a system has many swap areas, and tmpfs
swaps out to the ninth or more, shmem_getpage_gfp()'s attempts to read
back the page cannot locate it, and the read fails with -ENOMEM.
Whoops. Yes, I blindly followed read_swap_header()'s pte_to_swp_entry(
swp_entry_to_pte()) technique for determining maximum usable swap
offset, without stopping to realize that that actually depends upon the
pte swap encoding shifting swap offset to the higher bits and truncating
it there. Whereas our radix_tree swap encoding leaves offset in the
lower bits: it's swap "type" (that is, index of swap area) that was
truncated.
Fix it by reducing the SWP_TYPE_SHIFT() in swapops.h, and removing the
broken radix_to_swp_entry(swp_to_radix_entry()) from read_swap_header().
This does not reduce the usable size of a swap area any further, it
leaves it as claimed when making the original commit: no change from 3.0
on x86_64, nor on i386 without PAE; but 3.0's 512GB is reduced to 128GB
per swapfile on i386 with PAE. It's not a change I would have risked
five years ago, but with x86_64 supported for ten years, I believe it's
appropriate now.
Hmm, and what if some architecture implements its swap pte with offset
encoded below type? That would equally break the maximum usable swap
offset check. Happily, they all follow the same tradition of encoding
offset above type, but I'll prepare a check on that for next.

commit ae82fdb1406ad41d68f07027fe31f2d35ba22a90 upstream.
Commit 026cee0086fe1df4cf74691cf273062cc769617d "params:
<level>_initcall-like kernel parameters" set old-style module
parameters to level 0. And we call those level 0 calls where we used
to, early in start_kernel().
We also loop through the initcall levels and call the levelled
module_params before the corresponding initcall. Unfortunately level
0 is early_init(), so we call the standard module_param calls twice.
(Turns out most things don't care, but at least ubi.mtd does).
Change the level to -1 for standard module_param calls.

[ Upstream commit 617c8c11236716dcbda877e764b7bf37c6fd8063 ]
At the beginning of __skb_cow, headroom gets set to a minimum of
NET_SKB_PAD. This causes unnecessary reallocations if the buffer was not
cloned and the headroom is just below NET_SKB_PAD, but still more than the
amount requested by the caller.
This was showing up frequently in my tests on VLAN tx, where
vlan_insert_tag calls skb_cow_head(skb, VLAN_HLEN).
Locally generated packets should have enough headroom, and for forward
paths, we already have NET_SKB_PAD bytes of headroom, so we don't need to
add any extra space here.

Commit 4231d47e6fe69f061f96c98c30eaf9fb4c14b96d(net/usbnet: avoid
recursive locking in usbnet_stop()) fixes the recursive locking
problem by releasing the skb queue lock before unlink, but may
cause skb traversing races:
- after URB is unlinked and the queue lock is released,
the refered skb and skb->next may be moved to done queue,
even be released
- in skb_queue_walk_safe, the next skb is still obtained
by next pointer of the last skb
- so maybe trigger oops or other problems
This patch extends the usage of entry->state to describe 'start_unlink'
state, so always holding the queue(rx/tx) lock to change the state if
the referd skb is in rx or tx queue because we need to know if the
refered urb has been started unlinking in unlink_urbs.
The other part of this patch is based on Huajun's patch:
always traverse from head of the tx/rx queue to get skb which is
to be unlinked but not been started unlinking.

Squashfs manages to read in the end block(s) of the disk during the
mount operation. Then, when dd reads the block device, it leads to
block_read_full_page being called with buffers that are beyond end of
disk, but are marked as mapped. Thus, it would end up submitting read
I/O against them, resulting in the errors mentioned above. I fixed the
problem by modifying init_page_buffers to only set the buffer mapped if
it fell inside of i_size.
Cheers,
Jeff

This reverts commit 8a83a00b0735190384a348156837918271034144.
It causes regressions for S390 devices, because it does an
unconditional DST drop on SKBs for vlans and the QETH device
needs the neighbour entry hung off the DST for certain things
on transmit.
Arnd can't remember exactly why he even needed this change.

it ignores events that do not have a ->reg() function assigned.
This was to skip over the ftrace internal events (as they are
not TRACE_EVENTs). But as the ftrace function event now has
a ->reg() function attached to it for use with perf, it is no
longer ignored.
Worse yet, this ->reg() function is being called when it should
not be. It returns an error and causes the above warning to
be printed.
By adding a new event_call flag (TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE)
and have all ftrace internel event structures have it set,
setting the events/enable will no longe try to incorrectly enable
the function event and does not warn.

Neither compare_ether_addr() nor compare_ether_addr_64bits()
(as it can fall back to the former) have comparison semantics
like memcmp() where the sign of the return value indicates sort
order. We had a bug in the wireless code due to a blind memcmp
replacement because of this.
A cursory look suggests that the wireless bug was the only one
due to this semantic difference.

The normal read_seqcount_begin() function will wait for any current
writers to exit their critical region by looping until the sequence
count is even.
That "wait for sequence count to stabilize" is the right thing to do if
the read-locker will just retry the whole operation on contention: no
point in doing a potentially expensive reader sequence if we know at the
beginning that we'll just end up re-doing it all.
HOWEVER. Some users don't actually retry the operation, but instead
will abort and do the operation with proper locking. So the sequence
count case may be the optimistic quick case, but in the presense of
writers you may want to do full locking in order to guarantee forward
progress. The prime example of this would be the RCU name lookup.
And in that case, you may well be better off without the "retry early",
and are in a rush to instead get to the failure handling. Thus this
"raw" interface that just returns the sequence number without testing it
- it just forces the low bit to zero so that read_seqcount_retry() will
always fail such a "active concurrent writer" scenario.

We really need to use a ACCESS_ONCE() on the sequence value read in
__read_seqcount_begin(), because otherwise the compiler might end up
reloading the value in between the test and the return of it. As a
result, it might end up returning an odd value (which means that a write
is in progress).
If the reader is then fast enough that that odd value is still the
current one when the read_seqcount_retry() is done, we might end up with
a "successful" read sequence, even despite the concurrent write being
active.
In practice this probably never really happens - there just isn't
anything else going on around the read of the sequence count, and the
common case is that we end up having a read barrier immediately
afterwards.
So the code sequence in which gcc might decide to reaload from memory is
small, and there's no reason to believe it would ever actually do the
reload. But if the compiler ever were to decide to do so, it would be
incredibly annoying to debug. Let's just make sure.

Socket memory cgroup code (I never should have applied those
patches, grumble...) made erroneous changes to
sk_sockets_allocated_read_positive(). It was changed to
use percpu_counter_sum_positive (which requires BH disabling)
instead of percpu_counter_read_positive (which does not).
Revert back to avoid crashes and lockdep warnings.
Adjust the default tcp_adv_win_scale and tcp_rmem[2] values
to fix throughput regressions. This is necessary as a result
of our more precise skb->truesize tracking.

The actual internal pipe implementation is already really about
individual packets (called "pipe buffers"), and this simply exposes that
as a special packetized mode.
When we are in the packetized mode (marked by O_DIRECT as suggested by
Alan Cox), a write() on a pipe will not merge the new data with previous
writes, so each write will get a pipe buffer of its own. The pipe
buffer is then marked with the PIPE_BUF_FLAG_PACKET flag, which in turn
will tell the reader side to break the read at that boundary (and throw
away any partial packet contents that do not fit in the read buffer).
End result: as long as you do writes less than PIPE_BUF in size (so that
the pipe doesn't have to split them up), you can now treat the pipe as a
packet interface, where each read() system call will read one packet at
a time. You can just use a sufficiently big read buffer (PIPE_BUF is
sufficient, since bigger than that doesn't guarantee atomicity anyway),
and the return value of the read() will naturally give you the size of
the packet.
NOTE! We do not support zero-sized packets, and zero-sized reads and
writes to a pipe continue to be no-ops. Also note that big packets will
currently be split at write time, but that the size at which that
happens is not really specified (except that it's bigger than PIPE_BUF).
Currently that limit is the system page size, but we might want to
explicitly support bigger packets some day.
The main user for this is going to be the autofs packet interface,
allowing us to stop having to care so deeply about exact packet sizes
(which have had bugs with 32/64-bit compatibility modes). But user
space can create packetized pipes with "pipe2(fd, O_DIRECT)", which will
fail with an EINVAL on kernels that do not support this interface.
