      ARM: 7824/1: update advice on kernel, initramfs and FDT load address. · 83d26d11
      Ian Campbell authored
        - Recommend that the kernel be placed under 128MiB, this is required if
          CONFIG_AUTO_ZRELADDR=y and good (or at least not bad) advice even if
          CONFIG_AUTO_ZRELADDR=n.
        - Recommend that a zImage kernel be placed above 32MiB, this avoids the need
          to relocate prior to decompression, which can speed up boot.
        - Add basic info on the requirements when loading a raw (non-zImage) kernel
          which are stricter than the zImage requirements.
        - Recommend that the DTB be placed after the 128MiB boundary, avoiding any
          potential conflict with the kernel decompressor, and within the lowmem
          region.  In practice it could follow the kernel loaded after 32MiB,
          assuming the kernel decompesses to less than 32MiB, but the 128MiB
          recommendation is simple and unambiguous.
        - Add similar recommendation regarding initramfs.

      ARM: 7822/1: add workaround for ambiguous C99 stdint.h types · 09096f6a
      Ard Biesheuvel authored
      The C99 types uintXX_t that are usually defined in 'stdint.h' are not as
      unambiguous on ARM as you would expect. For the types below, there is a
      difference on ARM between GCC built for bare metal ARM, GCC built for glibc
      and the kernel itself, which results in build errors if you try to build with
      -ffreestanding and include 'stdint.h' (such as when you include 'arm_neon.h'
      in order to use NEON intrinsics)
      
      As the typedefs for these types in 'stdint.h' are based on builtin defines
      supplied by GCC, we can tweak these to align with the kernel's idea of those
      types, so 'linux/types.h' and 'stdint.h' can be safely included from the same
      source file (provided that -ffreestanding is used).

      ARM: Allow selection HZ values · c9218b16
      Russell King authored
      Allow users to configure the Hz rate on implementations which do not have
      a fixed clock rate.
      
      Whenever HZ_FIXED is not set through one of its "default" settings, the
      user is allowed to select a tick rate from 100, 200, 250, 300, 500Hz
      and 1kHz.  This is slightly more choice than with the generic HZ
      selection in kernel/Kconfig.hz (which only does 100, 250, 300Hz and
      1kHz).  The reason for including 200Hz is that a greater number of other
      platforms want that via the fixed rate, and 500Hz just seemed to be a
      better middle value than 300Hz (which is of course very close to 250.)

      ARM: constify machine_desc structure uses · ff69a4c8
      Russell King authored
      struct machine_desc records are defined everywhere as a 'const'
      structure, but unfortuantely it loses its const-ness through the use of
      linker magic - the symbols which surround the section are not declared
      const so it becomes possible not to use 'const' for pointers to these
      const structures.
      
      Let's fix this oversight - all pointers to these structures should be
      marked const too.

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull ACPI video support fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
       "I'm sending a separate pull request for this as it may be somewhat
        controversial.  The breakage addressed here is not really new and the
        fixes may not satisfy all users of the affected systems, but we've had
        so much back and forth dance in this area over the last several weeks
        that I think it's time to actually make some progress.
      
        The source of the problem is that about a year ago we started to tell
        BIOSes that we're compatible with Windows 8, which we really need to
        do, because some systems shipping with Windows 8 are tested with it
        and nothing else, so if we tell their BIOSes that we aren't compatible
        with Windows 8, we expose our users to untested BIOS/AML code paths.
      
        However, as it turns out, some Windows 8-specific AML code paths are
        not tested either, because Windows 8 actually doesn't use the ACPI
        methods containing them, so if we declare Windows 8 compatibility and
        attempt to use those ACPI methods, things break.  That occurs mostly
        in the backlight support area where in particular the _BCM and _BQC
        methods are plain unusable on some systems if the OS declares Windows
        8 compatibility.
      
        [ The additional twist is that they actually become usable if the OS
          says it is not compatible with Windows 8, but that may cause
          problems to show up elsewhere ]
      
        Investigation carried out by Matthew Garrett indicates that what
        Windows 8 does about backlight is to leave backlight control up to
        individual graphics drivers.  At least there's evidence that it does
        that if the Intel graphics driver is used, so we've decided to follow
        Windows 8 in that respect and allow i915 to control backlight (Daniel
        likes that part).
      
        The first commit from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export the variable from
        which we can infer whether or not the BIOS believes that we are
        compatible with Windows 8.
      
        The second commit from Matthew Garrett prepares the ACPI video driver
        by making it initialize the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to
        be used afterward (that is needed for backlight control to work on
        Thinkpads).
      
        The third commit implements the actual workaround making i915 take
        over backlight control if the firmware thinks it's dealing with
        Windows 8 and is based on the work of multiple developers, including
        Matthew Garrett, Chun-Yi Lee, Seth Forshee, and Aaron Lu.
      
        The final commit from Aaron Lu makes us follow Windows 8 by informing
        the firmware through the _DOS method that it should not carry out
        automatic brightness changes, so that brightness can be controlled by
        GUI.
      
        Hopefully, this approach will allow us to avoid using blacklists of
        systems that should not declare Windows 8 compatibility just to avoid
        backlight control problems in the future.
      
         - Change from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export a variable which can be
           used by driver code to determine whether or not the BIOS believes
           that we are compatible with Windows 8.
      
         - Change from Matthew Garrett makes the ACPI video driver initialize
           the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to be used afterward
           (that is needed for backlight control to work on Thinkpads).
      
         - Fix from Rafael J Wysocki implements Windows 8 backlight support
           workaround making i915 take over bakclight control if the firmware
           thinks it's dealing with Windows 8.  Based on the work of multiple
           developers including Matthew Garrett, Chun-Yi Lee, Seth Forshee,
           and Aaron Lu.
      
         - Fix from Aaron Lu makes the kernel follow Windows 8 by informing
           the firmware through the _DOS method that it should not carry out
           automatic brightness changes, so that brightness can be controlled
           by GUI"

      ext3: fix a BUG when opening a file with O_TMPFILE flag · dda5690d
      Zheng Liu authored
      When we try to open a file with O_TMPFILE flag, we will trigger a bug.
      The root cause is that in ext4_orphan_add() we check ->i_nlink == 0 and
      this check always fails because we set ->i_nlink = 1 in
      inode_init_always().  We can use the following program to trigger it:
      
      int main(int argc, char *argv[])
      {
      	int fd;
      
      	fd = open(argv[1], O_TMPFILE, 0666);
      	if (fd < 0) {
      		perror("open ");
      		return -1;
      	}
      	close(fd);
      	return 0;

      livelock avoidance in sget() · acfec9a5
      Al Viro authored
      Eric Sandeen has found a nasty livelock in sget() - take a mount(2) about
      to fail.  The superblock is on ->fs_supers, ->s_umount is held exclusive,
      ->s_active is 1.  Along comes two more processes, trying to mount the same
      thing; sget() in each is picking that superblock, bumping ->s_count and
      trying to grab ->s_umount.  ->s_active is 3 now.  Original mount(2)
      finally gets to deactivate_locked_super() on failure; ->s_active is 2,
      superblock is still ->fs_supers because shutdown will *not* happen until
      ->s_active hits 0.  ->s_umount is dropped and now we have two processes
      chasing each other:
      s_active = 2, A acquired ->s_umount, B blocked
      A sees that the damn thing is stillborn, does deactivate_locked_super()
      s_active = 1, A drops ->s_umount, B gets it
      A restarts the search and finds the same superblock.  And bumps it ->s_active.
      s_active = 2, B holds ->s_umount, A blocked on trying to get it
      ... and we are in the earlier situation with A and B switched places.
      
      The root cause, of course, is that ->s_active should not grow until we'd
      got MS_BORN.  Then failing ->mount() will have deactivate_locked_super()
      shut the damn thing down.  Fortunately, it's easy to do - the key point
      is that grab_super() is called only for superblocks currently on ->fs_supers,
      so it can bump ->s_count and grab ->s_umount first, then check MS_BORN and
      bump ->s_active; we must never increment ->s_count for superblocks past
      ->kill_sb(), but grab_super() is never called for those.
      
      The bug is pretty old; we would've caught it by now, if not for accidental
      exclusion between sget() for block filesystems; the things like cgroup or
      e.g. mtd-based filesystems don't have anything of that sort, so they get
      bitten.  The right way to deal with that is obviously to fix sget()...

      Btrfs: fix wrong write offset when replacing a device · 115930cb
      Stefan Behrens authored
      Miao Xie reported the following issue:
      
      The filesystem was corrupted after we did a device replace.
      
      Steps to reproduce:
       # mkfs.btrfs -f -m single -d raid10 <device0>..<device3>
       # mount <device0> <mnt>
       # btrfs replace start -rfB 1 <device4> <mnt>
       # umount <mnt>
       # btrfsck <device4>
      
      The reason for the issue is that we changed the write offset by mistake,
      introduced by commit 625f1c8d.
      
      We read the data from the source device at first, and then write the
      data into the corresponding place of the new device. In order to
      implement the "-r" option, the source location is remapped using
      btrfs_map_block(). The read takes place on the mapped location, and
      the write needs to take place on the unmapped location. Currently
      the write is using the mapped location, and this commit changes it
      back by undoing the change to the write address that the aforementioned
      commit added by mistake.

      Btrfs: re-add root to dead root list if we stop dropping it · d29a9f62
      Josef Bacik authored
      If we stop dropping a root for whatever reason we need to add it back to the
      dead root list so that we will re-start the dropping next transaction commit.
      The other case this happens is if we recover a drop because we will add a root
      without adding it to the fs radix tree, so we can leak it's root and commit root
      extent buffer, adding this to the dead root list makes this cleanup happen.

      Alex pointed out a problem and fix that exists in the drop one snapshot at a
      time patch.  If we decide we need to exit for whatever reason (umount for
      example) we will just exit the snapshot dropping without updating the drop
      progress.  So the next time we go to resume we will BUG_ON() because we can't
      find the extent we left off at because we never updated it.  This patch fixes
      the problem.

      Pull power management and ACPI fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
       "These are fixes collected over the last week, most importnatly two
        cpufreq reverts fixing regressions introduced in 3.10, an autoseelp
        fix preventing systems using it from crashing during shutdown and two
        ACPI scan fixes related to hotplug.
      
        Specifics:
      
         - Two cpufreq commits from the 3.10 cycle introduced regressions.
           The first of them was buggy (it did way much more than it needed to
           do) and the second one attempted to fix an issue introduced by the
           first one.  Fixes from Srivatsa S Bhat revert both.
      
         - If autosleep triggers during system shutdown and the shutdown
           callbacks of some device drivers have been called already, it may
           crash the system.  Fix from Liu Shuo prevents that from happening
           by making try_to_suspend() check system_state.
      
         - The ACPI memory hotplug driver doesn't clear its driver_data on
           errors which may cause a NULL poiter dereference to happen later.
           Fix from Toshi Kani.
      
         - The ACPI namespace scanning code should not try to attach scan
           handlers to device objects that have them already, which may
           confuse things quite a bit, and it should rescan the whole
           namespace branch starting at the given node after receiving a bus
           check notify event even if the device at that particular node has
           been discovered already.  Fixes from Rafael J Wysocki.
      
         - New ACPI video blacklist entry for a system whose initial backlight
           setting from the BIOS doesn't make sense.  From Lan Tianyu.
      
         - Garbage string output avoindance for ACPI PNP from Liu Shuo.
      
         - Two Kconfig fixes for issues introduced recently in the s3c24xx
           cpufreq driver (when moving the driver to drivers/cpufreq) from
           Paul Bolle.

      arm64: use common reboot infrastructure · ff701306
      Marc Zyngier authored
      Commit 7b6d864b (reboot: arm: change reboot_mode to use enum
      reboot_mode) changed the way reboot is handled on arm, which has a
      direct impact on arm64 as we share the reset driver on the VE platform.
      
      The obvious fix is to move arm64 to use the same infrastructure.

      arm64: mm: don't treat user cache maintenance faults as writes · db6f4106
      Will Deacon authored
      On arm64, cache maintenance faults appear as data aborts with the CM
      bit set in the ESR. The WnR bit, usually used to distinguish between
      faulting loads and stores, always reads as 1 and (slightly confusingly)
      the instructions are treated as reads by the architecture.
      
      This patch fixes our fault handling code to treat cache maintenance
      faults in the same way as loads.

      arm64: add '#ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT' for aarch32_break_handler() · c783c281
      Chen Gang authored
      If 'COMPAT' not defined, aarch32_break_handler() cannot pass compiling,
      and it can work independent with 'COMPAT', so remove dummy definition.
      
      The related error:
