x86, 64-bit: Fix copy_[to/from]_user() checks for the userspace address limit
As reported in BZ #30352:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30352
there's a kernel bug related to reading the last allowed page on x86_64.
The _copy_to_user() and _copy_from_user() functions use the following
check for address limit:
if (buf + size >= limit)
fail();
while it should be more permissive:
if (buf + size > limit)
fail();
That's because the size represents the number of bytes being
read/write from/to buf address AND including the buf address.
So the copy function will actually never touch the limit
address even if "buf + size == limit".
Following program fails to use the last page as buffer
due to the wrong limit check:
The other place checking the addr limit is the access_ok() function,
which is working properly. There's just a misleading comment
for the __range_not_ok() macro - which this patch fixes as well.
The last page of the user-space address range is a guard page and
Brian Gerst observed that the guard page itself due to an erratum on K8 cpus
(#121 Sequential Execution Across Non-Canonical Boundary Causes Processor
Hang).
However, the test code is using the last valid page before the guard page.
The bug is that the last byte before the guard page can't be read
because of the off-by-one error. The guard page is left in place.
This bug would normally not show up because the last page is
part of the process stack and never accessed via syscalls.

unnecessary.

VM: skip the stack guard page lookup in get_user_pages only for mlock
The logic in __get_user_pages() used to skip the stack guard page lookup
whenever the caller wasn't interested in seeing what the actual page
was. But Michel Lespinasse points out that there are cases where we
don't care about the physical page itself (so 'pages' may be NULL), but
do want to make sure a page is mapped into the virtual address space.
So using the existence of the "pages" array as an indication of whether
to look up the guard page or not isn't actually so great, and we really
should just use the FOLL_MLOCK bit. But because that bit was only set
for the VM_LOCKED case (and not all vma's necessarily have it, even for
mlock()), we couldn't do that originally.
Fix that by moving the VM_LOCKED check deeper into the call-chain, which
actually simplifies many things. Now mlock() gets simpler, and we can
also check for FOLL_MLOCK in __get_user_pages() and the code ends up
much more straightforward.

slub: Fix the lockless code on 32-bit platforms with no 64-bit cmpxchg
The SLUB allocator use of the cmpxchg_double logic was wrong: it
actually needs the irq-safe one.
That happens automatically when we use the native unlocked 'cmpxchg8b'
instruction, but when compiling the kernel for older x86 CPUs that do
not support that instruction, we fall back to the generic emulation
code.
And if you don't specify that you want the irq-safe version, the generic
code ends up just open-coding the cmpxchg8b equivalent without any
protection against interrupts or preemption. Which definitely doesn't
work for SLUB.
This was reported by Werner Landgraf <w.landgraf@ru.ru>, who saw
instability with his distro-kernel that was compiled to support pretty
much everything under the sun. Most big Linux distributions tend to
compile for PPro and later, and would never have noticed this problem.
This also fixes the prototypes for the irqsafe cmpxchg_double functions
to use 'bool' like they should.
[ Btw, that whole "generic code defaults to no protection" design just
sounds stupid - if the code needs no protection, there is no reason to
use "cmpxchg_double" to begin with. So we should probably just remove
the unprotected version entirely as pointless. - Linus ]

ceph: do not call __mark_dirty_inode under i_lock
The __mark_dirty_inode helper now takes i_lock as of 250df6ed. Fix the
one ceph callers that held i_lock (__ceph_mark_dirty_caps) to return the
flags value so that the callers can do it outside of i_lock.

drm/i915/dp: Be paranoid in case we disable a DP before it is attached
Given that the hardware may be left in a random condition by the BIOS,
it is conceivable that we then attempt to clear the DP_PIPEB_SELECT bit
without us ever enabling/attaching the DP encoder to a pipe. Thus
causing a NULL deference when we attempt to wait for a vblank on that
crtc.

Merge branch 'drm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/airlied/drm-2.6
* 'drm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/airlied/drm-2.6:
drm/radeon/kms: fix gart setup on fusion parts (v2)
drm: Send pending vblank events before disabling vblank.
drm/radeon: fix regression on atom cards with hardcoded EDID record.
drm/radeon/kms: add some new pci ids
drm: Send pending vblank events before disabling vblank.
This is the least-bad behaviour. It means that we signal the
vblank event before it actually happens, but since we're disabling
vblanks there's no guarantee that it will *ever* happen otherwise.
This prevents GL applications which use WaitMSC from hanging
indefinitely.

logfs: initialize superblock entries earlier
In particular, s_freeing_list needs to be initialized early, since it is
used on some of the error paths when mounts fail. The mapping inode,
for example, would be initialized and then free'd on an error path
before s_freeing_list was initialized, but the inode drop operation
needs the s_freeing_list to be set up.
Normally you'd never see this, because not only is logfs fairly rare,
but a successful mount will never have any issues.
