Check mapped ranges on sysfs resource files
This is loosely based on a patch by Jesse Barnes to check the user-space
PCI mappings though the sysfs interfaces. Quoting Jesse's original
explanation:
It's fairly common for applications to map PCI resources through sysfs.
However, with the current implementation, it's possible for an application
to map far more than the range corresponding to the resourceN file it
opened. This patch plugs that hole by checking the range at mmap time,
similar to what is done on platforms like sparc64 in their lower level
PCI remapping routines.
It was initially put together to help debug the e1000e NVRAM corruption
problem, since we initially thought an X driver might be walking past the
end of one of its mappings and clobbering the NVRAM. It now looks like
that's not the case, but doing the check is still important for obvious
reasons.
and this version of the patch differs in that it uses a helper function
to clarify the code, and does all the checks in pages (instead of bytes)
in order to avoid overflows when doing "<< PAGE_SHIFT" etc.
thanks to tglx, we're finding some interesting reentrancy issues.
this patch removes the phy read from inside a spinlock, paving
the way for removing the spinlock completely. The phy read was
only feeding a statistic that wasn't used.
e1000e was apparently calling two functions that attempted to reserve
the SWFLAG bit for exclusive (to hardware and firmware) access to
the PHY and NVM (aka eeprom). These accesses could possibly call
msleep to wait for the resource which is not allowed from interrupt
context.

mm: handle initialising compound pages at orders greater than MAX_ORDER
When we initialise a compound page we initialise the page flags and head
page pointer for all base pages spanned by that page. When we initialise
a gigantic page (a page of order greater than or equal to MAX_ORDER) we
have to initialise more than MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages. Currently we
assume that all elements of the mem_map in this page are contigious in
memory. However this is only guarenteed out to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages,
and with SPARSEMEM enabled they will not be contigious. This leads us to
walk off the end of the first section and scribble on everything which
follows, BAD.
When we reach a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundary we much locate the next
section of the mem_map. As gigantic pages can only be maximally aligned
we know this will occur at exact multiple of MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages from
the start of the page.
This is a bug fix for the gigantic page support in hugetlbfs.

MN10300: Fix IRQ handling
Fix the IRQ handling on the MN10300 arch.
This patch makes a number of significant changes:
(1) It separates the irq_chip definition for edge-triggered interrupts from
the one for level-triggered interrupts.
This is necessary because the MN10300 PIC latches the IRQ channel's
interrupt request bit (GxICR_REQUEST), even after the device has ceased to
assert its interrupt line and the interrupt channel has been disabled in
the PIC. So for level-triggered interrupts we need to clear this bit when
we re-enable - which is achieved by setting GxICR_DETECT but not
GxICR_REQUEST when writing to the register.
Not doing this results in spurious interrupts occurring because calling
mask_ack() at the start of handle_level_irq() is insufficient - it fails
to clear the REQUEST latch because the device that caused the interrupt is
still asserting its interrupt line at this point.
(2) IRQ disablement [irq_chip::disable_irq()] shouldn't clear the interrupt
request flag for edge-triggered interrupts lest it lose an interrupt.
(3) IRQ unmasking [irq_chip::unmask_irq()] also shouldn't clear the interrupt
request flag for edge-triggered interrupts lest it lose an interrupt.
(4) The end() operation is now left to the default (no-operation) as
__do_IRQ() is compiled out. This may affect misrouted_irq(), but
according to Thomas Gleixner it's the correct thing to do.
(5) handle_level_irq() is used for edge-triggered interrupts rather than
handle_edge_irq() as the MN10300 PIC latches interrupt events even on
masked IRQ channels, thus rendering IRQ_PENDING unnecessary. It is
sufficient to call mask_ack() at the start and unmask() at the end.
(6) For level-triggered interrupts, ack() is now NULL as it's not used, and
there is no effective ACK function on the PIC. mask_ack() is now the
same as mask() as the latch continues to latch, even when the channel is
masked.
Further, the patch discards the disable() op implementation as its now the same
as the mask() op implementation, which is used instead.
It also discards the enable() op implementations as they're now the same as
the unmask() op implementations, which are used instead.

This one took a long time to rear up because LDT usage is not very

sctp: Fix kernel panic while process protocol violation parameter
Since call to function sctp_sf_abort_violation() need paramter 'arg' with
'struct sctp_chunk' type, it will read the chunk type and chunk length from
the chunk_hdr member of chunk. But call to sctp_sf_violation_paramlen()
always with 'struct sctp_paramhdr' type's parameter, it will be passed to
sctp_sf_abort_violation(). This may cause kernel panic.
This patch fixed this problem. This patch also fix two place which called
sctp_sf_violation_paramlen() with wrong paramter type.

powerpc: Fix failure to shutdown with CPU hotplug
I tracked down the shutdown regression to CPUs not dying
when being shut down during power-off. This turns out to
be due to the system_state being SYSTEM_POWER_OFF, which
this code doesn't take as a valid state for shutting off
CPUs in.
This has never made sense to me, but when I added hotplug
code to implement hibernate I only "made it work" and did
not question the need to check the system_state. Thomas
Gleixner helped me dig, but the only thing we found is
that it was added with the original commit that added CPU
hotplug support.

powerpc: Fix PCI in Holly device tree
The PCI bridge on the Holly board is incorrectly represented in the
device tree. The current device tree node for the PCI bridge sits
under the tsi-bridge node. That's not obviously wrong, but the PCI
bridge translates some PCI spaces into CPU address ranges which were
not translated by the "ranges" property in tsi-bridge node.
We used to get away with this problem because the PCI bridge discovery
code was also buggy, assuming incorrectly that PCI host bridge nodes
were always directly under the root bus and treating the translated
addresses as raw CPU addresses, rather than parent bus addresses.
This has since been fixed, thus breaking Holly.
This could be fixed by adding extra translations to the tsi-bridge
node, but this patch instead moves the Holly PCI bridge out of the
tsi-bridge node to the root bus. This makes the tsi-bridge node
represent only the built-in IO devices in the bridge, with a
more-or-less contiguous address range. This is the same convention
used on Freescale SoC chips, where the "soc" node represents only the
IMMR region, and the PCI and other bus bridges are separate nodes
under the root bus.

[IA64] Put the space for cpu0 per-cpu area into .data section
Initial fix for making sure that we can access percpu variables
in all C code (commit: 10617bbe84628eb18ab5f723d3ba35005adde143)
inadvertantly allocated the memory in the "percpu" section of
the vmlinux ELF executable. This confused kexec/dump.
There's a race between mm->owner assignment and swapoff, more easily
seen when task slab poisoning is turned on. The condition occurs when
try_to_unuse() runs in parallel with an exiting task. A similar race
can occur with callers of get_task_mm(), such as /proc/<pid>/<mmstats>
or ptrace or page migration.
CPU0 CPU1
try_to_unuse
looks at mm = task0->mm
increments mm->mm_users
task 0 exits
mm->owner needs to be updated, but no
new owner is found (mm_users > 1, but
no other task has task->mm = task0->mm)
mm_update_next_owner() leaves
mmput(mm) decrements mm->mm_users
task0 freed
dereferencing mm->owner fails
The fix is to notify the subsystem via mm_owner_changed callback(),
if no new owner is found, by specifying the new task as NULL.
Jiri Slaby:
mm->owner was set to NULL prior to calling cgroup_mm_owner_callbacks(), but
must be set after that, so as not to pass NULL as old owner causing oops.
Daisuke Nishimura:
mm_update_next_owner() may set mm->owner to NULL, but mem_cgroup_from_task()
and its callers need to take account of this situation to avoid oops.
Hugh Dickins:
Lockdep warning and hang below exec_mmap() when testing these patches.
exit_mm() up_reads mmap_sem before calling mm_update_next_owner(),
so exec_mmap() now needs to do the same. And with that repositioning,
there's now no point in mm_need_new_owner() allowing for NULL mm.

changed the hrtimer sleeper callback mode to CB_IRQSAFE_NO_SOFTIRQ due
to locking problems. A result of this change is that when enqueue is
called for an already expired hrtimer the callback function is not
longer called directly from the enqueue code. The normal callers have
been fixed in the code, but the migration code which moves hrtimers
from a dead CPU to a live CPU was not made aware of this.
This can be fixed by checking the timer state after the call to
enqueue in the migration code.

The VFS interface for the 'd_compare()' is a bit special (read: 'odd'),
because it really just essentially replaces a memcmp(). The filesystem
is supposed to just compare the two names with whatever case-independent
or other function.
And when I say 'is supposed to', I obviously mean that 'procfs does odd
things, and actually looks at the dentry that we don't even pass down,
rather than just the name'. Which results in problems, because we
actually call d_compare before we have even verified that the dentry is
still hashed at all.
And that causes a problm since the inode that procfs looks at may have
been free'd and the d_inode pointer is NULL. procfs just assumes that
all dentries are positive, since procfs itself never generates a
negative one. But memory pressure will still result in the dentry
getting torn down, and as it is removed by RCU, it still remains visible
on some lists - and to d_compare.
If the filesystem just did a name comparison, we wouldn't care. And we
could just fix procfs to know about negative dentries too. But rather
than have the low-level filesystems know about internal VFS details,
just move the check for a unhashed dentry up a bit, so that we will only
call d_compare on dentries that are still active.
The actual oops this caused didn't look like a NULL pointer dereference
because procfs did a 'container_of(inode, struct proc_inode, vfs_inode)'
to get at its internal proc_inode information from the inode pointer,
and accessed a field below the inode. So the oops would look something
like
