The analog-stick vertical axes are inverted. Fix that! Otherwise, games and other gamepad applications need to carry their own fixups (which they thankfully haven't done, yet).

Revert some changes done in 77463838. Revert all changes done in hidinput_calc_abs_res as it mistakingly used "Unit" item exponent nibbles to affect resolution value. This wasn't breaking resolution calculation of relevant axes of any existing devices, though, as they have only one dimension to their units and thus 1 in the corresponding nible. Revert to reading "Unit Exponent" item value as a signed integer in hid_parser_global to fix reading specification-complying values. This fixes resolution calculation of devices complying to the HID standard, including Huion, KYE, Waltop and UC-Logic graphics tablets which have their report descriptors fixed by the drivers. Explanations follow. There are two "unit exponents" in HID specification and it is important not to mix them. One is the global "Unit Exponent" item and another is nibble values in the global "Unit" item. See 6.2.2.7 Global Items. The "Unit Exponent" value is just a signed integer and is used to scale the integer resolution unit values, so fractions can be expressed. The nibbles of "Unit" value are used to select the unit system (nibble 0), and presence of a particular basic unit type in the unit formula and its *exponent* (or power, nibbles 1-6). And yes, the latter is in two complement and zero means absence of the unit type. Taking the representation example of (integer) joules from the specification: [mass(grams)][length(centimeters)^2][time(seconds)^-2] * 10^-7 the "Unit Exponent" would be -7 (or 0xF9, if stored as a byte) and the "Unit" value would be 0xE121, signifying: Nibble Part Value Meaning ----- ---- ----- ------- 0 System 1 SI Linear 1 Length 2 Centimeters^2 2 Mass 1 Grams 3 Time -2 Seconds^-2 To give the resolution in e.g. hundredth of joules the "Unit Exponent" item value should have been -9. See also the examples of "Unit" values for some common units in the same chapter. However, there is a common misunderstanding about the "Unit Exponent" value encoding, where it is assumed to be stored the same as nibbles in "Unit" item. This is most likely due to the specification being a bit vague and overloading the term "unit exponent". This also was and still is proliferated by the official "HID Descriptor Tool", which makes this mistake and stores "Unit Exponent" as such. This format is also mentioned in books such as "USB Complete" and in Microsoft's hardware design guides. As a result many devices currently on the market use this encoding and so the driver should support them.

Commit 3fa4d734 (usb: phy: rename nop_usb_xceiv => usb_phy_gen_xceiv) changed the conditional around the declaration of usb_nop_xceiv_register from #if defined(CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV) || (defined(CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV_MODULE) && defined(MODULE)) to #if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV) While that looks the same, it is semantically different. The first expression is true if CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV is built as module and if the including code is built as module. The second expression is true if code depending on CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV if built as module or into the kernel. As a result, the arm:allmodconfig build fails with arch/arm/mach-omap2/built-in.o: In function `omap3_evm_init': arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-omap3evm.c:703: undefined reference to `usb_nop_xceiv_register' Fix the problem by reverting to the old conditional.

Revert commit 1ecfd533 ("mm/mremap.c: call pud_free() after fail calling pmd_alloc()"). The original code was correct: pud_alloc(), pmd_alloc(), pte_alloc_map() ensure that the pud, pmd, pt is already allocated, and seldom do they need to allocate; on failure, upper levels are freed if appropriate by the subsequent do_munmap(). Whereas commit 1ecfd533 did an unconditional pud_free() of a most-likely still-in-use pud: saved only by the near-impossiblity of pmd_alloc() failing.

Fix race between swapoff and swapon. Swapoff used old_block_size from swap_info outside of swapon_mutex so it could be overwritten by concurrent swapon. The race has visible effect only if more than one swap block device exists with different block sizes (e.g. /dev/sda1 with block size 4096 and /dev/sdb1 with 512). In such case it leads to setting the blocksize of swapped off device with wrong blocksize. The bug can be triggered with multiple concurrent swapoff and swapon: 0. Swap for some device is on. 1. swapoff: First the swapoff is called on this device and "struct swap_info_struct *p" is assigned. This is done under swap_lock however this lock is released for the call try_to_unuse(). 2. swapon: After the assignment above (and before acquiring swapon_mutex & swap_lock by swapoff) the swapon is called on the same device. The p->old_block_size is assigned to the value of block_size the device. This block size should be the same as previous but sometimes it is not. The swapon ends successfully. 3. swapoff: Swapoff resumes, grabs the locks and mutex and continues to disable this swap device. Now it sets the block size to value taken from swap_info which was overwritten by swapon in 2.

Commit c4fe2448 ("sparc: fix PCI device proc file mmap(2)") added proc_reg_get_unmapped_area in proc_reg_file_ops and proc_reg_file_ops_no_compat, by which now mmap always returns EIO if get_unmapped_area method is not defined for the target procfs file, which causes regression of mmap on /proc/vmcore. To address this issue, like get_unmapped_area(), call default current->mm->get_unmapped_area on MMU-present architectures if pde->proc_fops->get_unmapped_area, i.e. the one in actual file operation in the procfs file, is not defined.

Currently, proc_reg_get_unmapped_area truncates upper 32-bit of the mapped virtual address returned from get_unmapped_area method in pde->proc_fops due to the variable rv of signed integer on x86_64. This is too small to have vitual address of unsigned long on x86_64 since on x86_64, signed integer is of 4 bytes while unsigned long is of 8 bytes. To fix this issue, use unsigned long instead.

Johannes Weiner authored
Buffer allocation has a very crude indefinite loop around waking the flusher threads and performing global NOFS direct reclaim because it can not handle allocation failures. The most immediate problem with this is that the allocation may fail due to a memory cgroup limit, where flushers + direct reclaim might not make any progress towards resolving the situation at all. Because unlike the global case, a memory cgroup may not have any cache at all, only anonymous pages but no swap. This situation will lead to a reclaim livelock with insane IO from waking the flushers and thrashing unrelated filesystem cache in a tight loop. Use __GFP_NOFAIL allocations for buffers for now. This makes sure that any looping happens in the page allocator, which knows how to orchestrate kswapd, direct reclaim, and the flushers sensibly. It also allows memory cgroups to detect allocations that can't handle failure and will allow them to ultimately bypass the limit if reclaim can not make progress.

Commit 3812c8c8 ("mm: memcg: do not trap chargers with full callstack on OOM") assumed that only a few places that can trigger a memcg OOM situation do not return VM_FAULT_OOM, like optional page cache readahead. But there are many more and it's impractical to annotate them all. First of all, we don't want to invoke the OOM killer when the failed allocation is gracefully handled, so defer the actual kill to the end of the fault handling as well. This simplifies the code quite a bit for added bonus. Second, since a failed allocation might not be the abrupt end of the fault, the memcg OOM handler needs to be re-entrant until the fault finishes for subsequent allocation attempts. If an allocation is attempted after the task already OOMed, allow it to bypass the limit so that it can quickly finish the fault and invoke the OOM killer.

In commit 27a7c642 ("partitions/efi: account for pmbr size in lba") we started treating bad sizes in lba field of the partition that has the 0xEE (GPT protective) as errors. However, we may run into these "bad sizes" in the real world if someone uses dd to copy an image from a smaller disk to a bigger disk. Since this case used to work (even without using force_gpt), keep it working and treat the size mismatch as a warning instead of an error.
