x86, smap: Do not abuse the [f][x]rstor_checking() functions for user space
With SMAP, the [f][x]rstor_checking() functions are no longer usable
for user-space pointers by applying a simple __force cast. Instead,
create new [f][x]rstor_user() functions which do the proper SMAP
magic.
1) Eric Dumazet discovered and fixed what turned out to be a family of
bugs. These functions were using pskb_may_pull() which might need
to reallocate the linear SKB data buffer, but the callers were not
expecting this possibility. The callers have cached pointers to the
packet header areas, and would need to reload them if we were to
continue using pskb_may_pull().
So they could end up reading garbage.
It's easier to just change these RAW4/RAW6/MIP6 routines to use
skb_header_pointer() instead of pskb_may_pull(), which won't modify
the linear SKB data area.
2) Dave Jone's syscall spammer caught a case where a non-TCP socket can
call down into the TCP keepalive code. The case basically involves
creating a raw socket with sk_protocol == IPPROTO_TCP, then calling
setsockopt(sock_fd, SO_KEEPALIVE, ...)
Fixed by Eric Dumazet.
3) Bluetooth devices do not get configured properly while being powered
on, resulting in always using legacy pairing instead of SSP. Fix
from Andrzej Kaczmarek.
4) Bluetooth cancels delayed work erroneously, put stricter checks in
place. From Andrei Emeltchenko.
5) Fix deadlock between cfg80211_mutex and reg_regdb_search_mutex in

9) Fix endless loop when trying ot unregister PPPOE device in zombie

Commit 1ad75b9e1628 ("c/r: prctl: add minimal address test to

checkpoint-restore. This causes a build error for no-MMU systems:

as noted in commit 6e1415467614 ("NOMMU: Optimise away the

This patch defines mmap_min_addr as 0UL in the no-MMU case so that the
compiler will optimize away tests for "addr < mmap_min_addr".

lib/flex_proportions.c: fix corruption of denominator in flexible proportions
When racing with CPU hotplug, percpu_counter_sum() can return negative
values for the number of observed events.
This confuses fprop_new_period(), which uses unsigned type and as a
result number of events is set to big *positive* number. From that
moment on, things go pear shaped and can result e.g. in division by
zero as denominator is later truncated to 32-bits.
This bug causes a divide-by-zero oops in bdi_dirty_limit() in Borislav's
3.6.0-rc6 based kernel.
Fix the issue by using a signed type in fprop_new_period(). That makes
us bail out from the function without doing anything (mistakenly)
thinking there are no events to age. That makes aging somewhat
inaccurate but getting accurate data would be rather hard.

The hypervisor is in charge of allocating the proper "NUMA" memory
and dealing with the CPU scheduler to keep them bound to the proper
NUMA node. The PV guests (and PVHVM) have no inkling of where they
run and do not need to know that right now. In the future we will
need to inject NUMA configuration data (if a guest spans two or more
NUMA nodes) so that the kernel can make the right choices. But those
patches are not yet present.
In the meantime, disable the NUMA capability in the PV guest, which
also fixes a bootup issue. Andre says:
"we see Dom0 crashes due to the kernel detecting the NUMA topology not
by ACPI, but directly from the northbridge (CONFIG_AMD_NUMA).
This will detect the actual NUMA config of the physical machine, but
will crash about the mismatch with Dom0's virtual memory. Variation of
the theme: Dom0 sees what it's not supposed to see.
This happens with the said config option enabled and on a machine where
this scanning is still enabled (K8 and Fam10h, not Bulldozer class)
so we just disable NUMA scanning by setting numa_off=1.

edac_mc: edac_mc_free() cannot assume mem_ctl_info is registered in sysfs.
Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in edac_unregister_sysfs() on
system boot introduced in 3.6-rc1.
Since commit 7a623c039 ("edac: rewrite the sysfs code to use struct
device") edac_mc_alloc() no longer initializes embedded kobjects in
struct mem_ctl_info. Therefore edac_mc_free() can no longer simply
decrement a kobject reference count to free the allocated memory unless
the memory controller driver module had also called edac_mc_add_mc().
Now edac_mc_free() will check if the newly embedded struct device has
been registered with sysfs before using either the standard device
release functions or freeing the data structures itself with logic
pulled out of the error path of edac_mc_alloc().
The BUG this patch resolves for me:

and that code block seem to mess things up in several ways (double free, memory
leak, out-of-bound reads etc.):
L422: The iterator "chn" and bound "tot_channels" are totally wrong. Should be
"row" and "tot_csrows" respectively. Which means either memory leak, or
out-of-bound reads (which if does not trigger an immediate page fault
error, will further lead to kfree() on random addresses).
L425: The inner loop is reusing the same iterator "chn" as the outer loop,
which could lead to premature end of the outer loop, and hence memory leak.
L429: The array index 'i' in mci->csrows[i] is a temporary value used in
previous loops, and won't change at all in the current loop. Which
means either out-of-bound read and possibly kfree(random number), or the
same mci->csrows[i] get freed once and again, and possibly double free
for the kfree(csr) in L427.
L426/L427: a kfree(csr->channels) is needed in between to avoid leaking the memory.
The buggy code was introduced by commit de3910eb ("edac: change the mem
allocation scheme to make Documentation/kobject.txt happy") in the 3.6-rc1

batman-adv: Fix symmetry check / route flapping in multi interface setups
If receiving an OGM from a neighbor other than the currently selected
and if it has the same TQ then we are supposed to switch if this
neighbor provides a more symmetric link than the currently selected one.
However this symmetry check currently is broken if the interface of the
neighbor we received the OGM from and the one of the currently selected
neighbor differ: We are currently trying to determine the symmetry of the
link towards the selected router via the link we received the OGM from
instead of just checking via the link towards the currently selected
router.
This leads to way more route switches than necessary and can lead to
permanent route flapping in many common multi interface setups.
This patch fixes this issue by using the right interface for this
symmetry check.

This patch fixes an issue introduced after commit 4ea5454203d991ec
("HID: Fix race condition between driver core and ll-driver").
After that commit, hid-core discards any incoming packet that arrives while
hid driver's probe function is being executed.
This broke the enumeration process of hid-logitech-dj, that must receive
control packets in-band with the mouse and keyboard packets. Discarding mouse
or keyboard data at the very begining is usually fine, but it is not the case
for control packets.
This patch forces a re-enumeration of the paired devices when a packet arrives
that comes from an unknown device.

libceph: only kunmap kmapped pages
In write_partial_msg_pages(), pages need to be kmapped in order to
perform a CRC-32c calculation on them. As an artifact of the way
this code used to be structured, the kunmap() call was separated
from the kmap() call and both were done conditionally. But the
conditions under which the kmap() and kunmap() calls were made
differed, so there was a chance a kunmap() call would be done on a
page that had not been mapped.
The symptom of this was tripping a BUG() in kunmap_high() when
pkmap_count[nr] became 0.

x86, kvm: fix kvm's usage of kernel_fpu_begin/end()
Preemption is disabled between kernel_fpu_begin/end() and as such
it is not a good idea to use these routines in kvm_load/put_guest_fpu()
which can be very far apart.
kvm_load/put_guest_fpu() routines are already called with
preemption disabled and KVM already uses the preempt notifier to save
the guest fpu state using kvm_put_guest_fpu().
So introduce __kernel_fpu_begin/end() routines which don't touch
preemption and use them instead of kernel_fpu_begin/end()
for KVM's use model of saving/restoring guest FPU state.
Also with this change (and with eagerFPU model), fix the host cr0.TS vm-exit
state in the case of VMX. For eagerFPU case, host cr0.TS is always clear.
So no need to worry about it. For the traditional lazyFPU restore case,
change the cr0.TS bit for the host state during vm-exit to be always clear
and cr0.TS bit is set in the __vmx_load_host_state() when the FPU
(guest FPU or the host task's FPU) state is not active. This ensures
that the host/guest FPU state is properly saved, restored
during context-switch and with interrupts (using irq_fpu_usable()) not
stomping on the active FPU state.
