      xen: remove redundant NULL check before unregister_and_remove_pcpu(). · 4f8c8527
      Cyril Roelandt authored
      unregister_and_remove_pcpu on a NULL pointer is a no-op, so the NULL check in
      sync_pcpu can be removed.

      Petr says: "
       I've analysed the bug and I think that xen_iret() cannot cope with
       mangled DS, in this case zeroed out (null selector/descriptor) by either
       xen_failsafe_callback() or RESTORE_REGS because the corresponding LDT
       entry was invalidated by the reproducer. "
      
      Jan took a look at the preliminary patch and came up a fix that solves
      this problem:
      
      "This code gets called after all registers other than those handled by
      IRET got already restored, hence a null selector in %ds or a non-null
      one that got loaded from a code or read-only data descriptor would
      cause a kernel mode fault (with the potential of crashing the kernel
      as a whole, if panic_on_oops is set)."
      
      The way to fix this is to realize that the we can only relay on the
      registers that IRET restores. The two that are guaranteed are the
      %cs and %ss as they are always fixed GDT selectors. Also they are
      inaccessible from user mode - so they cannot be altered. This is
      the approach taken in this patch.
      
      Another alternative option suggested by Jan would be to relay on
      the subtle realization that using the %ebp or %esp relative references uses
      the %ss segment.  In which case we could switch from using %eax to %ebp and
      would not need the %ss over-rides. That would also require one extra
      instruction to compensate for the one place where the register is used
      as scaled index. However Andrew pointed out that is too subtle and if
      further work was to be done in this code-path it could escape folks attention
      and lead to accidents.

      sparc64: Fix get_user_pages_fast() wrt. THP. · 89a77915
      David S. Miller authored
      Mostly mirrors the s390 logic, as unlike x86 we don't need the
      SetPageReferenced() bits.
      
      On sparc64 we also lack a user/privileged bit in the huge PMDs.
      
      In order to make this work for THP and non-THP builds, some header
      file adjustments were necessary.  Namely, provide the PMD_HUGE_* bit
      defines and the pmd_large() inline unconditionally rather than
      protected by TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE.

       "This is primarily to get those r8169 reverts sorted, but other fixes

            from Francois Romieu.
      
         2) PCI dma mapping errors in atl1c are not checked for and this cause
            hard crashes for some users, from Xiong Huang.
      
         3) In 3.8.x we merged the removal of the EXPERIMENTAL dependency for
            'dlm' but the same patch for 'sctp' got lost somewhere, resulting
            in the potential for build errors since there are cross
            dependencies.  From Kees Cook.
      
         4) SCTP's ipv6 socket route validation makes boolean tests
            incorrectly, fix from Daniel Borkmann.
      
         5) mac80211 does sizeof(ptr) instead of (sizeof(ptr) * nelem), from
            Cong Ding.
      
         6) arp_rcv() can crash on shared non-linear packets, from Eric
            Dumazet.

            Alexander Duyck.

            from Eric Dumazet.
      
         9) STP protocol frames should use high packet priority, otherwise an
            overloaded bridge can get stuck.  From Stephen Hemminger.
      
        10) The HTB packet scheduler was converted some time ago to store
            internal timestamps in nanoseconds, but we don't convert back into
            psched ticks for the user during dumps.  Fix from Jiri Pirko.
      
        11) mwl8k channel table doesn't set the .band field properly,
            resulting in NULL pointer derefs.  Fix from Jonas Gorski.
      
        12) mac80211 doesn't accumulate channels properly during a scan so we
            can downgrade heavily to a much less desirable connection speed.
            Fix from Johannes Berg.
      
        13) PHY probe failure in stmmac can result in resource leaks and
            double MDIO registery later, from Giuseppe CAVALLARO.

      PCI/PM: Clean up PME state when removing a device · 249bfb83
      Rafael J. Wysocki authored
      Devices are added to pci_pme_list when drivers use pci_enable_wake()
      or pci_wake_from_d3(), but they aren't removed from the list unless
      the driver explicitly disables wakeup.  Many drivers never disable
      wakeup, so their devices remain on the list even after they are
      removed, e.g., via hotplug.  A subsequent PME poll will oops when
      it tries to touch the device.
      
      This patch disables PME# on a device before removing it, which removes
      the device from pci_pme_list.  This is safe even if the device never
      had PME# enabled.
      
      This oops can be triggered by unplugging a Thunderbolt ethernet adapter
      on a Macbook Pro, as reported by Daniel below.
