In order to remove the cfs_rq dependency from set_task_cpu() we
need to ensure the task is cfs_rq invariant for all callsites.
The simple approach is to substract cfs_rq->min_vruntime from
se->vruntime on dequeue, and add cfs_rq->min_vruntime on
enqueue.
However, this has the downside of breaking FAIR_SLEEPERS since
we loose the old vruntime as we only maintain the relative
position.
To solve this, we observe that we only migrate runnable tasks,
we do this using deactivate_task(.sleep=0) and
activate_task(.wakeup=0), therefore we can restrain the
min_vruntime invariance to that state.
The only other case is wakeup balancing, since we want to
maintain the old vruntime we cannot make it relative on dequeue,
but since we don't migrate inactive tasks, we can do so right
before we activate it again.
This is where we need the new pre-wakeup hook, we need to call
this while still holding the old rq->lock. We could fold it into
->select_task_rq(), but since that has multiple callsites and
would obfuscate the locking requirements, that seems like a
fudge.
This leaves the fork() case, simply make sure that ->task_fork()
leaves the ->vruntime in a relative state.
This covers all cases where set_task_cpu() gets called, and
ensures it sees a relative vruntime.

In order to clean up the set_task_cpu() rq dependencies we need
to ensure it is never called on blocked tasks because such usage
does not pair with consistent rq->lock usage.
This puts the migration burden on ttwu().
Furthermore we need to close a race against changing
->cpus_allowed, since select_task_rq() runs with only preemption
disabled.
For sched_fork() this is safe because the child isn't in the
tasklist yet, for wakeup we fix this by synchronizing
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() against TASK_WAKING, which leaves
sched_exec to be a problem
This also closes a hole in (6ad4c1888 sched: Fix balance vs
hotplug race) where ->select_task_rq() doesn't validate the
result against the sched_domain/root_domain.

compat_alloc_user_space() expects the caller to independently call
access_ok() to verify the returned area. A missing call could

This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into
compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length.
The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed
arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the
implementation of the new global function.
This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either
fail or access userspace on all architectures. This should be
followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space()
for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers
can also be removed.

On 64 bits, we always, by necessity, jump through the system call
table via %rax. For 32-bit system calls, in theory the system call
number is stored in %eax, and the code was testing %eax for a valid
system call number. At one point we loaded the stored value back from
the stack to enforce zero-extension, but that was removed in checkin d4d67150165df8bf1cc05e532f6efca96f907cab. An actual 32-bit process
will not be able to introduce a non-zero-extended number, but it can
happen via ptrace.
Instead of re-introducing the zero-extension, test what we are
actually going to use, i.e. %rax. This only adds a handful of REX
prefixes to the code.

Wireless extensions have an unfortunate, undocumented
requirement which requires drivers to always fill
iwp->length when returning a successful status. When
a driver doesn't do this, it leads to a kernel heap
content leak when userspace offers a larger buffer
than would have been necessary.
Arguably, this is a driver bug, as it should, if it
returns 0, fill iwp->length, even if it separately
indicated that the buffer contents was not valid.
However, we can also at least avoid the memory content
leak if the driver doesn't do this by setting the iwp
length to max_tokens, which then reflects how big the
buffer is that the driver may fill, regardless of how
big the userspace buffer is.
To illustrate the point, this patch also fixes a
corresponding cfg80211 bug (since this requirement
isn't documented nor was ever pointed out by anyone
during code review, I don't trust all drivers nor
all cfg80211 handlers to implement it correctly).

Each histogram entry has a callchain root that stores the
callchain samples. However we forgot to initialize the
tracking of children hits of these roots, which then got
random values on their creation.
The root children hits is multiplied by the minimum percentage
of hits provided by the user, and the result becomes the minimum
hits expected from children branches. If the random value due
to the uninitialization is big enough, then this minimum number
of hits can be huge and eventually filter every children branches.
The end result was invisible callchains. All we need to
fix this is to initialize the children hits of the root.

Reading the file set_ftrace_filter does three things.
1) shows whether or not filters are set for the function tracer
2) shows what functions are set for the function tracer
3) shows what triggers are set on any functions
3 is independent from 1 and 2.
The way this file currently works is that it is a state machine,
and as you read it, it may change state. But this assumption breaks
when you use lseek() on the file. The state machine gets out of sync
and the t_show() may use the wrong pointer and cause a kernel oops.
Luckily, this will only kill the app that does the lseek, but the app
dies while holding a mutex. This prevents anyone else from using the
set_ftrace_filter file (or any other function tracing file for that matter).
A real fix for this is to rewrite the code, but that is too much for
a -rc release or stable. This patch simply disables llseek on the
set_ftrace_filter() file for now, and we can do the proper fix for the
next major release.

This patch fixes a crash during shutdown reported below. The crash is
caused by accessing already freed task structs. The fix changes the
order for registering and unregistering notifier callbacks.
All notifiers must be initialized before buffers start working. To
stop buffer synchronization we cancel all workqueues, unregister the
notifier callback and then flush all buffers. After all of this we
finally can free all tasks listed.
This should avoid accessing freed tasks.

The error handling in snd_seq_oss_open() has several bad codes that
do dereferecing released pointers and double-free of kmalloc'ed data.
The object dp is release in free_devinfo() that is called via
private_free callback. The rest shouldn't touch this object any more.
The patch changes delete_port() to call kfree() in any case, and gets
rid of unnecessary calls of destructors in snd_seq_oss_open().
Certain USB devices, such as the Nokia X6 mobile phone, don't expose any
endpoint descriptors on some of their interfaces. If the ACM driver is forced
to probe all interfaces on a device the a NULL pointer dereference will occur
when the ACM driver attempts to use the endpoint of the alternative settings.
One way to get the ACM driver to probe all the interfaces is by using the
/sys/bus/usb/drivers/cdc_acm/new_id interface.
This patch checks that the endpoint pointer for the current alternate settings
is non-NULL before using it.

Nokia S60 phones expose two ACM channels. The first is a modem and is picked

second is marked as having a vendor-specific protocol. Normally, we don't
expose those as ttys. (On some other devices, they may be claimed by the
rndis_host driver and used as a network interface).
But on S60 this second ACM channel is the way that third-party S60 application

For local mounts, ocfs2_read_locked_inode() calls ocfs2_read_blocks_sync() to
read the inode off the disk. The latter first checks to see if that block is
cached in the journal, and, if so, returns that block. That is ok.
But ocfs2_read_locked_inode() goes wrong when it tries to validate the checksum
of such blocks. Blocks that are cached in the journal may not have had their
checksum computed as yet. We should not validate the checksums of such blocks.

If bg_queue is not empty then flush_bg_queue() called from
request_end() can put more requests on to the pending queue. If this
happens while ending requests on the processing queue then those
background requests will be queued to the pending list and never
ended.
Another problem is that fuse_dev_release() didn't wake up processes

Solve this by:
a) flushing the background queue before calling end_requests() on the
pending and processing queues
b) setting blocked = 0 and waking up processes waiting on

Increased storvsc ringbuffer and max_io_requests. This now more

to take place for the SCSI driver.
Max_IO is set to double from what it was before, Hyper-V allows it and
we have had appliance builder requests to see if it was a problem to
increase the number.
Ringbuffer size for storvsc is now increased because I have seen A few buffer
problems on extremely busy systems. They were Set pretty low before.
And since max_io_requests is increased I Really needed to increase the buffer
as well.

Original commit text:
sched: Fix a race between ttwu() and migrate_task()
Based on commit e2912009fb7b715728311b0d8fe327a1432b3f79 upstream, but
done differently as this issue is not present in .33 or .34 kernels due
to rework in this area.
If a task is in the TASK_WAITING state, then try_to_wake_up() is working
on it, and it will place it on the correct cpu.
This commit ensures that neither migrate_task() nor __migrate_task()
calls set_task_cpu(p) while p is in the TASK_WAKING state. Otherwise,
there could be two concurrent calls to set_task_cpu(p), resulting in
the task's cfs_rq being inconsistent with its cpu.

sched: kill migration thread in CPU_POST_DEAD instead of CPU_DEAD
[Fixed in a different manner upstream, due to rewrites in this area]
Problem : In a stress test where some heavy tests were running along with
regular CPU offlining and onlining, a hang was observed. The system seems to
be hung at a point where migration_call() tries to kill the migration_thread
of the dying CPU, which just got moved to the current CPU. This migration
thread does not get a chance to run (and die) since rt_throttled is set to 1
on current, and it doesn't get cleared as the hrtimer which is supposed to
reset the rt bandwidth (sched_rt_period_timer) is tied to the CPU which we just
marked dead!
Solution : This patch pushes the killing of migration thread to "CPU_POST_DEAD"
event. By then all the timers (including sched_rt_period_timer) should have got
migrated (along with other callbacks).

unsafe and unnecessary hardware access" changed read_msi_msg_desc() to
return the last MSI message written instead of reading it from the
device, since it may be called while the device is in a reduced
power state.
However, the pSeries platform code really does need to read messages
from the device, since they are initially written by firmware.
Therefore:
- Restore the previous behaviour of read_msi_msg_desc()
- Add new functions get_cached_msi_msg{,_desc}() which return the
last MSI message written
- Use the new functions where appropriate

During suspend on an SMP system, {read,write}_msi_msg_desc() may be
called to mask and unmask interrupts on a device that is already in a
reduced power state. At this point memory-mapped registers including
MSI-X tables are not accessible, and config space may not be fully
functional either.
While a device is in a reduced power state its interrupts are
effectively masked and its MSI(-X) state will be restored when it is
brought back to D0. Therefore these functions can simply read and
write msi_desc::msg for devices not in D0.
Further, read_msi_msg_desc() should only ever be used to update a
previously written message, so it can always read msi_desc::msg
and never needs to touch the hardware.
TSC's get reset after suspend/resume (even on cpu's with invariant TSC
which runs at a constant rate across ACPI P-, C- and T-states). And in
some systems BIOS seem to reinit TSC to arbitrary large value (still
sync'd across cpu's) during resume.
This leads to a scenario of scheduler rq->clock (sched_clock_cpu()) less
than rq->age_stamp (introduced in 2.6.32). This leads to a big value
returned by scale_rt_power() and the resulting big group power set by the
update_group_power() is causing improper load balancing between busy and
idle cpu's after suspend/resume.
This resulted in multi-threaded workloads (like kernel-compilation) go
slower after suspend/resume cycle on core i5 laptops.
Fix this by recomputing cyc2ns_offset's during resume, so that
sched_clock() continues from the point where it was left off during
suspend.
Fix DSM/TRIM commands in sata_mv (v2).
These need to be issued using old-school "BM DMA",
rather than via the EDMA host queue.
Since the chips don't have proper BM DMA status,
we need to be more careful with setting the ATA_DMA_INTR bit,
since DSM/TRIM often has a long delay between "DMA complete"
and "command complete".
GEN_I chips don't have BM DMA, so no TRIM for them.

Xen events are logically edge triggered, as Xen only calls the event
upcall when an event is newly set, but not continuously as it remains set.
As a result, use handle_edge_irq rather than handle_level_irq.
This has the important side-effect of fixing a long-standing bug of
events getting lost if:
- an event's interrupt handler is running
- the event is migrated to a different vcpu
- the event is re-triggered
The most noticable symptom of these lost events is occasional lockups
of blkfront.

When the SMP kernel decides to crash_kexec() the local APICs may have
pending interrupts in their vector tables.
The setup routine for the local APIC has a deficient mechanism for
clearing these interrupts, it only handles interrupts that has already
been dispatched to the local core for servicing (the ISR register) safely,
it doesn't consider lower prioritized queued interrupts stored in the IRR
register.
If you have more than one pending interrupt within the same 32 bit word in
the LAPIC vector table registers you may find yourself entering the IO
APIC setup with pending interrupts left in the LAPIC. This is a situation
for wich the IO APIC setup is not prepared. Depending of what/which
interrupt vector/vectors are stuck in the APIC tables your system may show
various degrees of malfunctioning. That was the reason why the
check_timer() failed in our system, the timer interrupts was blocked by
pending interrupts from the old kernel when routed trough the IO APIC.
Additional comment from Jiri Bohac:
==============
If this should go into stable release,
I'd add some kind of limit on the number of iterations, just to be safe from
hard to debug lock-ups:
with MAX_LOOPS something like 1E9 this would leave plenty of time for the
pending IRQs to be cleared and would and still cause at most a second of delay
if the loop were to lock-up for whatever reason.

The code to increment the TRB pointer has a slight ambiguity that could
lead to a bug on different compilers. The ANSI C specification does not
specify the precedence of the assignment operator over the postfix
operator. gcc 4.4 produced the correct code (increment the pointer and
assign the value), but a MIPS compiler that one of John's clients used
assigned the old (unincremented) value.
