audit: move the tree pruning to a dedicated thread
When file auditing is enabled, during a low memory situation, a memory
allocation with __GFP_FS can lead to pruning the inode cache. Which can,
in turn lead to audit_tree_freeing_mark() being called. This can call
audit_schedule_prune(), that tries to fork a pruning thread, and
waits until the thread is created. But forking needs memory, and the
memory allocations there are done with __GFP_FS.
So we are waiting merrily for some __GFP_FS memory allocations to complete,
while holding some filesystem locks. This can take a while ...
This patch creates a single thread for pruning the tree from
audit_add_tree_rule(), and thus avoids the deadlock that the on-demand
thread creation can cause.

audit: create private file name copies when auditing inodes
Unfortunately, while commit 4a928436 ("audit: correctly record file
names with different path name types") fixed a problem where we were
not recording filenames, it created a new problem by attempting to use
these file names after they had been freed. This patch resolves the
issue by creating a copy of the filename which the audit subsystem
frees after it is done with the string.
At some point it would be nice to resolve this issue with refcounts,
or something similar, instead of having to allocate/copy strings, but
that is almost surely beyond the scope of a -rcX patch so we'll defer
that for later. On the plus side, only audit users should be impacted
by the string copying.

When audit_krule_to_data() fills in the rules to get a listing, there was a
missing clause to convert back from AUDIT_LOGINUID_SET to AUDIT_LOGINUID.
This broke userspace by not returning the same information that was sent and
expected.
The rule:
auditctl -a exit,never -F auid=-1
gives:
auditctl -l

audit: correctly record file names with different path name types
There is a problem with the audit system when multiple audit records
are created for the same path, each with a different path name type.
The root cause of the problem is in __audit_inode() when an exact
match (both the path name and path name type) is not found for a
path name record; the existing code creates a new path name record,
but it never sets the path name in this record, leaving it NULL.
This patch corrects this problem by assigning the path name to these
newly created records.
There are many ways to reproduce this problem, but one of the
easiest is the following (assuming auditd is running):
Afterwards, or while the commands above are running, check the audit
log and pay special attention to the PATH records. A faulty kernel
will display something like the following for the file creation:

The version field defined in the audit status structure was found to have
limitations in terms of its expressibility of features supported. This is
distict from the get/set features call to be able to command those features
that are present.
Converting this field from a version number to a feature bitmap will allow
distributions to selectively backport and support certain features and will
allow upstream to be able to deprecate features in the future. It will allow
userspace clients to first query the kernel for which features are actually
present and supported. Currently, EINVAL is returned rather than EOPNOTSUP,
which isn't helpful in determining if there was an error in the command, or if
it simply isn't supported yet. Past features are not represented by this
bitmap, but their use may be converted to EOPNOTSUP if needed in the future.
Since "version" is too generic to convert with a #define, use a union in the
struct status, introducing the member "feature_bitmap" unionized with
"version".
Convert existing AUDIT_VERSION_* macros over to AUDIT_FEATURE_BITMAP*
counterparts, leaving the former for backwards compatibility.

the printf format specifies the minimum width, not "precision", so it

much of a problem, but precludes the use of recvmmsg, iiuc?

The page allocator relies on __GFP_WAIT to determine if ALLOC_CPUSET
should be set in allocflags. ALLOC_CPUSET controls if a page allocation
should be restricted only to the set of allowed cpuset mems.
Transparent hugepages clears __GFP_WAIT when defrag is disabled to prevent
the fault path from using memory compaction or direct reclaim. Thus, it
is unfairly able to allocate outside of its cpuset mems restriction as a

Under memory pressure, it is possible for dirty_thresh, calculated by
global_dirty_limits() in balance_dirty_pages(), to equal zero. Then, if
strictlimit is true, bdi_dirty_limits() tries to resolve the proportion:
The GPIO pin connected to card detect was inverted twice: once by
the argument to the GPIO line itself where it was magically marked
as active low by the flag GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW (0x01) in the third cell,
and also marked active low AGAIN by explicitly stating
"cd-inverted" (a deprecated method).
After commit 78f87df2b4f8760954d7d80603d0cfcbd4759683
"mmc: mmci: Use the common mmc DT parser" this results in the
line being inverted twice so it was effectively uninverted, while
the old code would not have this effect, instead disregarding the
flag on the GPIO line altogether, which is a bug. I admit the
semantics may be unclear but inverting twice is as good a
definition as any on how this should work.
So fix up the buggy device tree. Use proper #includes so the DTS
is clear and readable.

kvm: arm64: vgic: fix hyp panic with 64k pages on juno platform
If the physical address of GICV isn't page-aligned, then we end up
creating a stage-2 mapping of the page containing it, which causes us to
map neighbouring memory locations directly into the guest.
As an example, consider a platform with GICV at physical 0x2c02f000
running a 64k-page host kernel. If qemu maps this into the guest at
0x80010000, then guest physical addresses 0x80010000 - 0x8001efff will
map host physical region 0x2c020000 - 0x2c02efff. Accesses to these
physical regions may cause UNPREDICTABLE behaviour, for example, on the
Juno platform this will cause an SError exception to EL3, which brings
down the entire physical CPU resulting in RCU stalls / HYP panics / host
crashing / wasted weeks of debugging.
SBSA recommends that systems alias the 4k GICV across the bounding 64k
region, in which case GICV physical could be described as 0x2c020000 in
the above scenario.
This patch fixes the problem by failing the vgic probe if the physical
base address or the size of GICV aren't page-aligned. Note that this
generated a warning in dmesg about freeing enabled IRQs, so I had to
move the IRQ enabling later in the probe.

Unfortunately, the check used by that function is not strict enough

To fix that, use the observation that the pointer to the ACPI

net: phy: re-apply PHY fixups during phy_register_device
Commit 87aa9f9c61ad ("net: phy: consolidate PHY reset in phy_init_hw()")
moved the call to phy_scan_fixups() in phy_init_hw() after a software
reset is performed.
By the time phy_init_hw() is called in phy_device_register(), no driver
has been bound to this PHY yet, so all the checks in phy_init_hw()
against the PHY driver and the PHY driver's config_init function will
return 0. We will therefore never call phy_scan_fixups() as we should.
Fix this by calling phy_scan_fixups() and check for its return value to
restore the intended functionality.
This broke PHY drivers which do register an early PHY fixup callback to
intercept the PHY probing and do things like changing the 32-bits unique
PHY identifier when a pseudo-PHY address has been used, as well as
board-specific PHY fixups that need to be applied during driver probe
time.

"Set msg->msg_name = NULL if user specified a NULL in msg_name but had a
non-null msg_namelen in verify_iovec/verify_compat_iovec. This doesn't
affect sendto as it would bail out earlier while trying to copy-in the
address."
But in fact this affects sendto when address 0 is mapped and contains
socket address structure in it. In such case copy-in address will succeed,
verify_iovec() function will successfully exit with msg->msg_namelen > 0
and msg->msg_name == NULL.
This patch fixes it by setting msg_namelen to 0 if msg_name == NULL.

ARM: 8115/1: LPAE: reduce damage caused by idmap to virtual memory layout
On LPAE, each level 1 (pgd) page table entry maps 1GiB, and the level 2
(pmd) entries map 2MiB.
When the identity mapping is created on LPAE, the pgd pointers are copied
from the swapper_pg_dir. If we find that we need to modify the contents
of a pmd, we allocate a new empty pmd table and insert it into the
appropriate 1GB slot, before then filling it with the identity mapping.
However, if the 1GB slot covers the kernel lowmem mappings, we obliterate
those mappings.
When replacing a PMD, first copy the old PMD contents to the new PMD, so
that we preserve the existing mappings, particularly the mappings of the
kernel itself.

Merge "omap n900 regression fix for v3.16 rc series" from Tony Lindgren:
Minimal regression fix for n900 display that got broken with
enabling of twl4030 PM features. Turns out more work is needed
before we can enable twl4030 PM on n900.
I did not notice this earlier as I have my n900 in a rack
and the display did not get enabled for device tree based booting
until for v3.16.

If init_mm.brk is not section aligned, the LPAE fixup code will miss
