      word-at-a-time: avoid undefined behaviour in zero_bytemask macro · ec6931b2
      Will Deacon authored 
      The asm-generic, big-endian version of zero_bytemask creates a mask of
bytes preceding the first zero-byte by left shifting ~0ul based on the
position of the first zero byte.

Unfortunately, if the first (top) byte is zero, the output of
prep_zero_mask has only the top bit set, resulting in undefined C
behaviour as we shift left by an amount equal to the width of the type.
As it happens, GCC doesn't manage to spot this through the call to fls(),
but the issue remains if architectures choose to implement their shift
instructions differently.

An example would be arch/arm/ (AArch32), where LSL Rd, Rn, #32 results
in Rd == 0x0, whilst on arch/arm64 (AArch64) LSL Xd, Xn, #64 results in
Xd == Xn.

Rather than check explicitly for the problematic shift, this patch adds
an extra shift by 1, replacing fls with __fls. Since zero_bytemask is
never called with a zero argument (has_zero() is used to check the data
first), we don't need to worry about calling __fls(0), which is
undefined.

      Merge branch 'safe-dirty-tlb-flush' · ac6c9e2b
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This merges the patch to fix possible loss of dirty bit on munmap() or
madvice(DONTNEED).  If there are concurrent writers on other CPU's that
have the unmapped/unneeded page in their TLBs, their writes to the page
could possibly get lost if a third CPU raced with the TLB flush and did
a page_mkclean() before the page was fully written.

Admittedly, if you unmap() or madvice(DONTNEED) an area _while_ another
thread is still busy writing to it, you deserve all the lost writes you
could get.  But we kernel people hold ourselves to higher quality
standards than "crazy people deserve to lose", because, well, we've seen
people do all kinds of crazy things.

So let's get it right, just because we can, and we don't have to worry
about it.
