drivers/memstick/host/rtsx_pci_ms.c: fix ms card data transfer bug
This patch is used to add support for ms card. The main difference
between ms card and mspro card is long data transfer mode. mspro card
can use auto mode DMA for long data transfer, but ms can not use this
mode, it should use normal mode DMA.
The memstick core added support for ms card, but the original driver will
make ms card fail at initialization, because it uses auto mode DMA. This
patch makes the ms card work properly.

So far, POSIX ACLs are using a canonical representation that keeps all ACL
entries in a strict order; the ACL_USER and ACL_GROUP entries for specific
users and groups are ordered by user and group identifier, respectively.
The user-space code provides ACL entries in this order; the kernel
verifies that the ACL entry order is correct in posix_acl_valid().
User namespaces allow to arbitrary map user and group identifiers which
can cause the ACL_USER and ACL_GROUP entry order to differ between user
space and the kernel; posix_acl_valid() would then fail.
Work around this by allowing ACL_USER and ACL_GROUP entries to be in any
order in the kernel. The effect is only minor: file permission checks
will pick the first matching ACL_USER entry, and check all matching
ACL_GROUP entries.
(The libacl user-space library and getfacl / setfacl tools will not create
ACLs with duplicate user or group idenfifiers; they will handle ACLs with
entries in an arbitrary order correctly.)

kdump: fix exported size of vmcoreinfo note
Right now we seem to be exporting the max data size contained inside
vmcoreinfo note. But this does not include the size of meta data around
vmcore info data. Like name of the note and starting and ending elf_note.
I think user space expects total size and that size is put in PT_NOTE elf
header. Things seem to be fine so far because we are not using vmcoreinfo
note to the maximum capacity. But as it starts filling up, to capacity,
at some point of time, problem will be visible.
I don't think user space will be broken with this change. So there is no
need to introduce vmcoreinfo2. This change is safe and backward
compatible. More explanation on why this change is safe is below.
vmcoreinfo contains information about kernel which user space needs to
know to do things like filtering. For example, various kernel config
options or information about size or offset of some data structures etc.
All this information is commmunicated to user space with an ELF note
present in ELF /proc/vmcore file.
Currently vmcoreinfo data size is 4096. With some elf note meta data
around it, actual size is 4132 bytes. But we are using barely 25% of that
size. Rest is empty. So even if we tell user space that size of ELf note
is 4096 and not 4132, nothing will be broken becase after around 1000
bytes, everything is zero anyway.
But once we start filling up the note to the capacity, and not report the
full size of note, bad things will start happening. Either some data will
be lost or tools will be confused that they did not fine the zero note at
the end.
So I think this change is safe and should not break existing tools.

kexec: add sysctl to disable kexec_load
For general-purpose (i.e. distro) kernel builds it makes sense to build
with CONFIG_KEXEC to allow end users to choose what kind of things they
want to do with kexec. However, in the face of trying to lock down a
system with such a kernel, there needs to be a way to disable kexec_load
(much like module loading can be disabled). Without this, it is too easy
for the root user to modify kernel memory even when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM
and modules_disabled are set. With this change, it is still possible to
load an image for use later, then disable kexec_load so the image (or lack
of image) can't be altered.
The intention is for using this in environments where "perfect"
enforcement is hard. Without a verified boot, along with verified
modules, and along with verified kexec, this is trying to give a system a
better chance to defend itself (or at least grow the window of
discoverability) against attack in the face of a privilege escalation.
In my mind, I consider several boot scenarios:
1) Verified boot of read-only verified root fs loading fd-based
verification of kexec images.
2) Secure boot of writable root fs loading signed kexec images.
3) Regular boot loading kexec (e.g. kcrash) image early and locking it.
4) Regular boot with no control of kexec image at all.
1 and 2 don't exist yet, but will soon once the verified kexec series has
landed. 4 is the state of things now. The gap between 2 and 4 is too
large, so this change creates scenario 3, a middle-ground above 4 when 2
and 1 are not possible for a system.

PROC_FS is a bool, so this code is either present or absent. It will
never be modular, so using module_init as an alias for __initcall is

Fix this up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into
module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h to
obviously non-modular code, and that would be ugly at best.
Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one of the
priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets mapped onto
device_initcall, our use of fs_initcall (which makes sense for fs code)
will thus change these registrations from level 6-device to level 5-fs

When we call opendir() on a file, it does not return NULL. opendir()
library call is based on open with O_DIRECTORY flag passed and then
layered on top of getdents() system call. O_DIRECTORY means "refuse to
open if not a directory".
The open() system call in the kernel does a check for: do_sys_open()
-->..--> can_lookup() i.e it only checks inode->i_op->lookup and returns
ENOTDIR if this function pointer is not set.
In OSX, we can open "file/rsrc" to get the resource fork of "file". This
behavior is emulated inside hfsplus on Linux, which means that to some
degree every file acts like a directory. That is the reason lookup()
inode operations is supported for files, and it is possible to do a lookup
on this specific name. As a result of this open succeeds without
returning ENOTDIR for HFS+
Please see the LKML discussion thread on this issue:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=122823343730412&w=2
I tried to test file/rsrc lookup in HFS+ driver and the feature does not
work. From OSX:
$ touch test
$ echo "1234" > test/..namedfork/rsrc
$ ls -l test..namedfork/rsrc
--rw-r--r-- 1 tuxera staff 5 10 dec 12:59 test/..namedfork/rsrc
[sougata@ultrabook tmp]$ id
uid=1000(sougata) gid=1000(sougata) groups=1000(sougata),5(tty),18(dialout),1001(vboxusers)
[sougata@ultrabook tmp]$ mount
/dev/sdb1 on /mnt/tmp type hfsplus (rw,relatime,umask=0,uid=1000,gid=1000,nls=utf8)
I guess now that permission checking happens in vfs generic_permission() ?
So it turns out that even though the lookup() inode_operation exists for
HFS+ files. It cannot really get invoked ?. So if we can disable this
feature to make opendir() work for HFS+.

fs/nilfs2: fix integer overflow in nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy()
The local variable 'pos' in nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy function can overflow if
a large number was passed to argv->v_index from userspace and the sum of
argv->v_index and argv->v_nmembs exceeds the maximum value of __u64 type
integer (= ~(__u64)0 = 18446744073709551615).
Here, argv->v_index is a 64-bit width argument to specify the start
position of target data items (such as segment number, checkpoint number,
or virtual block address of nilfs), and argv->v_nmembs gives the total
number of the items that userland programs (such as lssu, lscp, or
cleanerd) want to get information about, which also gives the maximum
element count of argv->v_base[] array.
nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy() calls dofunc() repeatedly and increments the
position variable 'pos' at the end of each iteration if dofunc() itself
didn't update 'pos':
if (pos == ppos)
pos += n;
This patch prevents the overflow here by rejecting pairs of a start
position (argv->v_index) and a total count (argv->v_nmembs) which leads to
the overflow.

rtc: max8907: weekday encoding fixes
The current MAX8907 driver has two issues related to weekday value
handling:
1)
The HW WEEKDAY register has range 0..6 rather than 1..7 as documented.
Note that I validated the actual HW range by observing the HW register
roll from 6->0 rather than 6->7->1 as would otherwise be expected.
This matches Linux's tm_wday range of 0..6.
When the CMOS RAM content is lost, the date returned from the device is
2007-01-01 00:00:00, which is a Monday. The WEEKDAY register reads 1 in
this case. This matches the numbering in Linux's tm_wday field.
Hence we should write Linux's tm_wday value to the register without
modifying it. Hence, remove the +1/-1 calculations for WEEKDAY/tm_wday.
2)
There's no need to make alarms match on the WEEKDAY register, since the
other fields together uniquely define the alarm date/time. Ignoring the
WEEKDAY value in the match isolates the driver from any incorrect value in
the current time copy of the WEEKDAY register.
Each change individually, or both together, solves an issue that I
observed; "hwclock -r" would time out waiting for its alarm to fire if the
CMOS RAM content had been lost, and hence the WEEKDAY register value
mismatched what the driver expected it to be. "hwclock -w" would solve
this by over-writing the HW default WEEKDAY register value with what the
driver expected.

autofs: fix symlinks aren't checked for expiry
The autofs4 module doesn't consider symlinks for expire as it did in the
older autofs v3 module (so it's actually a long standing regression).
The user space daemon has focused on the use of bind mounts instead of
symlinks for a long time now and that's why this has not been noticed.
But with the future addition of amd map parsing to automount(8), not to
mention amd itself (of am-utils), symlink expiry will be needed.
The direct and offset mount types can't be symlinks and the tree mounts of
version 4 were always real mounts so only indirect mounts need expire
symlinks.
Since the current users of the autofs4 module haven't reported this as a
problem to date this patch probably isn't a candidate for backport to
stable.

So send the pid values that are valid in the namespace of the autofs

The namespace to use is taken from the oz_pgrp pid pointer, which was
set at mount time to the mounting process' pid namespace.

autofs4: allow autofs to work outside the initial PID namespace
Enable autofs4 to work in a "container". oz_pgrp is converted from
pid_t to struct pid and this is stored at mount time based on the
"pgrp=" option or if the option is missing then the current pgrp.
The "pgrp=" option is interpreted in the PID namespace of the current
process. This option is flawed in that it doesn't carry the namespace
information, so it should be deprecated. AFAICS the autofs daemon
always sends the current pgrp, which is the default anyway.
The oz_pgrp is also set from the AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_SETPIPEFD_CMD ioctl.
This ioctl sets oz_pgrp to the current pgrp. It is not allowed to
change the pid namespace.
oz_pgrp is used mainly to determine whether the process traversing the
autofs mount tree is the autofs daemon itself or not. This function now
compares the pid pointers instead of the pid_t values.
One other use of oz_pgrp is in autofs4_show_options. There is shows the
virtual pid number (i.e. the one that is valid inside the PID namespace
of the calling process)
For debugging printk convert oz_pgrp to the value in the initial pid
namespace.

distinctly separate, or their pass/fail state don't need to crash the

These live in lib/ for now, along with a few other in-kernel test modules,
and use the slightly more common "test_" naming convention, instead of
"test-". We should likely standardize on the former:
The first is entirely a no-op module, designed to allow simple testing of
the module loading and verification interface. It's useful to have a
module that has no other uses or dependencies so it can be reliably used
for just testing module loading and verification.
The second is a module that exercises the user memory access functions, in
an effort to make sure that we can quickly catch any regressions in
boundary checking (e.g. like what was recently fixed on ARM).
This patch (of 2):
When doing module loading verification tests (for example, with module
signing, or LSM hooks), it is very handy to have a module that can be
built on all systems under test, isn't auto-loaded at boot, and has no
