      spi: Add Flag to Enable Slave Select with GPIO Chip Select. · 6b1576aa
      Thor Thayer authored
      Some SPI masters require slave selection before the transfer
      can begin [1]. The SPI framework currently selects the chip using
      either 1) the internal CS mechanism or 2) the GPIO CS, but not both.
      
      This patch adds a new master->flags define to indicate both the GPIO
      CS and the internal chip select mechanism should be used.
      
      Tested On:
          Altera CycloneV development kit
          Compile tested for build errors on x86_64 (allyesconfigs)

      mm: check VMA flags to avoid invalid PROT_NONE NUMA balancing · 38e08854
      Lorenzo Stoakes authored
      The NUMA balancing logic uses an arch-specific PROT_NONE page table flag
      defined by pte_protnone() or pmd_protnone() to mark PTEs or huge page
      PMDs respectively as requiring balancing upon a subsequent page fault.
      User-defined PROT_NONE memory regions which also have this flag set will
      not normally invoke the NUMA balancing code as do_page_fault() will send
      a segfault to the process before handle_mm_fault() is even called.
      
      However if access_remote_vm() is invoked to access a PROT_NONE region of
      memory, handle_mm_fault() is called via faultin_page() and
      __get_user_pages() without any access checks being performed, meaning
      the NUMA balancing logic is incorrectly invoked on a non-NUMA memory
      region.
      
      A simple means of triggering this problem is to access PROT_NONE mmap'd
      memory using /proc/self/mem which reliably results in the NUMA handling
      functions being invoked when CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING is set.
      
      This issue was reported in bugzilla (issue 99101) which includes some
      simple repro code.
      
      There are BUG_ON() checks in do_numa_page() and do_huge_pmd_numa_page()
      added at commit c0e7cad9 to avoid accidentally provoking strange
      behaviour by attempting to apply NUMA balancing to pages that are in
      fact PROT_NONE.  The BUG_ON()'s are consistently triggered by the repro.
      
      This patch moves the PROT_NONE check into mm/memory.c rather than
      invoking BUG_ON() as faulting in these pages via faultin_page() is a
      valid reason for reaching the NUMA check with the PROT_NONE page table
      flag set and is therefore not always a bug.

      radix tree: fix sibling entry handling in radix_tree_descend() · 8d2c0d36
      Linus Torvalds authored
      The fixes to the radix tree test suite show that the multi-order case is
      broken.  The basic reason is that the radix tree code uses tagged
      pointers with the "internal" bit in the low bits, and calculating the
      pointer indices was supposed to mask off those bits.  But gcc will
      notice that we then use the index to re-create the pointer, and will
      avoid doing the arithmetic and use the tagged pointer directly.
      
      This cleans the code up, using the existing is_sibling_entry() helper to
      validate the sibling pointer range (instead of open-coding it), and
      using entry_to_node() to mask off the low tag bit from the pointer.  And
      once you do that, you might as well just use the now cleaned-up pointer
      directly.
      
      [ Side note: the multi-order code isn't actually ever used in the kernel
        right now, and the only reason I didn't just delete all that code is
        that Kirill Shutemov piped up and said:
      
          "Well, my ext4-with-huge-pages patchset[1] uses multi-order entries.
           It also converts shmem-with-huge-pages and hugetlb to them.
      
           I'm okay with converting it to other mechanism, but I need
           something.  (I looked into Konstantin's RFC patchset[2].  It looks
           okay, but I don't feel myself qualified to review it as I don't
           know much about radix-tree internals.)"

      When we replace a multiorder entry, check that all indices reflect the
      new value.
      
      Also, compile the test suite with -O2, which shows other problems with
      the code due to some dodgy pointer operations in the radix tree code.
