      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.

      Quiet the warning below in Lustre code.
Actually the warning is invalid since we either always assign
the symname in ll_readlink_internal or return an error there and
then the following rc check would assign symlink variable explicitly.

      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Pull irq fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A slighlty large fix for a subtle issue in the CPU hotplug code of
  certain ARM SoCs, where the not yet online cpu needs to setup the cpu
  local timer and needs to set the interrupt affinity to itself.
  Setting interrupt affinity to a not online cpu is prohibited and
  therefor the timer interrupt ends up on the wrong cpu, which leads to
  nasty complications.

  The SoC folks tried to hack around that in the SoC code in some more
  than nasty ways.  The proper solution is to have a way to enforce the
  affinity setting to a not online cpu.  The core patch to the genirq
  code provides that facility and the follow up patches make use of it
  in the GIC interrupt controller and the exynos timer driver.

  The change to the core code has no implications to existing users,
  except for the rename of the locked function and therefor the
  necessary fixup in mips/cavium.  Aside of that, no runtime impact is
  possible, as none of the existing interrupt chips implements anything
  which depends on the force argument of the irq_set_affinity()
  callback"
