      PM / Hibernate: Fix memory corruption related to swap · c9e664f1
      Rafael J. Wysocki authored 
      There is a problem that swap pages allocated before the creation of
a hibernation image can be released and used for storing the contents
of different memory pages while the image is being saved.  Since the
kernel stored in the image doesn't know of that, it causes memory
corruption to occur after resume from hibernation, especially on
systems with relatively small RAM that need to swap often.

This issue can be addressed by keeping the GFP_IOFS bits clear
in gfp_allowed_mask during the entire hibernation, including the
saving of the image, until the system is finally turned off or
the hibernation is aborted.  Unfortunately, for this purpose
it's necessary to rework the way in which the hibernate and
suspend code manipulates gfp_allowed_mask.

This change is based on an earlier patch from Hugh Dickins.

      PM / Hibernate: Use async I/O when reading compressed hibernation image · 9f339caf
      Bojan Smojver authored 
      This is a fix for reading LZO compressed image using async I/O.
Essentially, instead of having just one page into which we keep
reading blocks from swap, we allocate enough of them to cover the
largest compressed size and then let block I/O pick them all up. Once
we have them all (and here we wait), we decompress them, as usual.
Obviously, the very first block we still pick up synchronously,
because we need to know the size of the lot before we pick up the
rest.

Also fixed the copyright line, which I've forgotten before.

      wmi: use memcmp instead of strncmp to compare GUIDs · 8b14d7b2
      Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo authored 
      While looking for the duplicates in /sys/class/wmi/, I couldn't find
them. The code that looks for duplicates uses strncmp in a binary GUID,
which may contain zero bytes. The right function is memcmp, which is
also used in another section of wmi code.

It was finding 49142400-C6A3-40FA-BADB-8A2652834100 as a duplicate of
39142400-C6A3-40FA-BADB-8A2652834100. Since the first byte is the fourth
printed, they were found as equal by strncmp.

      perf record: Fix eternal wait for stillborn child · 18483b81
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      When execvp fails to find the specified command on the path we won't get
SIGCHLD, so send a SIGUSR1 and exit right away.

Current situation would require a SIGINT performed by the user and would
produce meaningless summary.

Now:

[acme@emilia linux]$ ./foo
-bash: ./foo: No such file or directory
[acme@emilia linux]$ perf record ./foo
./foo: No such file or directory
[acme@emilia linux]$
