ARM: kprobes: Reject probing of undefined data processing instructions
The instruction decoding in space_cccc_000x needs to reject probing of
instructions with undefined patterns as they may in future become
defined and then emulated faultily - as has already happened with the
SMC instruction.
This fix is achieved by testing for the instruction patterns we want to
probe and making the the default fall-through paths reject probes. This
also allows us to remove some explicit tests for instructions that we
wish to reject, as that is now the default action.

up.
The new lifetime rules are that an inotify group lives from

dm: improve block integrity support
The current block integrity (DIF/DIX) support in DM is verifying that
all devices' integrity profiles match during DM device resume (which
is past the point of no return). To some degree that is unavoidable
(stacked DM devices force this late checking). But for most DM
devices (which aren't stacking on other DM devices) the ideal time to
verify all integrity profiles match is during table load.
Introduce the notion of an "initialized" integrity profile: a profile
that was blk_integrity_register()'d with a non-NULL 'blk_integrity'
template. Add blk_integrity_is_initialized() to allow checking if a
profile was initialized.
Update DM integrity support to:
- check all devices with _initialized_ integrity profiles match
during table load; uninitialized profiles (e.g. for underlying DM
device(s) of a stacked DM device) are ignored.
- disallow a table load that would result in an integrity profile that
conflicts with a DM device's existing (in-use) integrity profile
- avoid clearing an existing integrity profile
- validate all integrity profiles match during resume; but if they
don't all we can do is report the mismatch (during resume we're past
the point of no return)

Following the fix to reset the GMBUS controller after a NAK, we finally
utilize the 0xa0 probe for a CRT connection. And discover that the code
is broken. Shock.
There are a number of issues, but following a key insight from Dave
Airlie, that 0xA0 is an invalid address on a 7-bit bus (though not if we
were to enable 10-bit addressing), and would look like the EDID port
0x50, it is possible to see where the confusion starts.
In short, a write to 0xA0 is accepted by the GMBUS controller which we
interpreted as meaning the existence of a connection (a slave on the
other end of the wire ACKing the write). That was false.
During testing with a broken GMBUS implementation, which never reset an
earlier NAK, this test always reported a NAK and so we proceeded on to
the next test.

I fix this by making sure to check and see if the current block group

cache since those will be available for us to use the next time the fs

tty: fix endless work loop when the buffer fills up
Commit f23eb2b2b285 ('tty: stop using "delayed_work" in the tty layer')
ended up causing hung machines on UP with no preemption, because the
work routine to flip the buffer data to the ldisc would endlessly re-arm
itself if the destination buffer had filled up.
With the delayed work, that only caused a timer-driving polling of the
tty state every timer tick, but without the delay we just ended up with
basically a busy loop instead.
Stop the insane polling, and instead make the code that opens up the
receive room re-schedule the buffer flip work. That's what we should
have been doing anyway.
This same "poll for tty room" issue is almost certainly also the cause
of excessive kworker activity when idle reported by Dave Jones, who also
reported "flush_to_ldisc executing 2500 times a second" back in Nov 2010:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/30/592

usb/serial: fix function args warnings, dropping *filp
Fix build warnings caused by removal of *filp arg in struct

These changes were missed somehow in commits 00a0d0d65b61 ("tty: remove
filp from the USB tty ioctls") and 60b33c133ca0b ("tiocmget: kill off
the passing of the struct file")

ntp: fix non privileged system time shifting
The ADJ_SETOFFSET bit added in commit 094aa188 ("ntp: Add ADJ_SETOFFSET
mode bit") also introduced a way for any user to change the system time.
Sneaky or buggy calls to adjtimex() could set
ADJ_OFFSET_SS_READ | ADJ_SETOFFSET
which would result in a successful call to timekeeping_inject_offset().
This patch fixes the issue by adding the capability check.

drm/radeon/kms: pageflipping cleanup for avivo+
Avoid touching the flip setup regs while
acceleration is running. Set them at modeset
rather than during pageflip. Touching these
regs while acceleration is active caused hangs
on pre-avivo chips. These chips do not seem
to be affected, but better safe than sorry,
plus it avoids repeatedly reprogramming the
regs every flip.

tcp: len check is unnecessarily devastating, change to WARN_ON
All callers are prepared for alloc failures anyway, so this error
can safely be boomeranged to the callers domain without super
bad consequences. ...At worst the connection might go into a state
where each RTO tries to (unsuccessfully) re-fragment with such
a mis-sized value and eventually dies.
