Make the PM core execute driver PM callbacks directly if the corresponding subsystem callbacks are not present. There are three reasons for doing that. First, it reflects the behavior of drivers/base/dd.c:really_probe() that runs the driver's .probe() callback directly if the bus type's one is not defined, so this change will remove one arbitrary difference between the PM core and the remaining parts of the driver core. Second, it will allow some subsystems, whose PM callbacks don't do anything except for executing driver callbacks, to be simplified quite a bit by removing those "forward-only" callbacks. Finally, it will allow us to remove one level of indirection in the system suspend and resume code paths where it is not necessary, which is going to lead to less debug noise with initcall_debug passed in the kernel command line (messages won't be printed for driverless devices whose subsystems don't provide PM callbacks among other things).

Make the pm_op() and pm_noirq_op() functions return pointers to appropriate callbacks instead of executing those callbacks and returning their results. This change is required for a subsequent modification that will execute the corresponding driver callback if the subsystem callback returned by either pm_op(), or pm_noirq_op() is NULL.

binary_sysctl() calls sysctl_getname() which allocates from names_cache slab usin __getname() The matching function to free the name is __putname(), and not putname() which should be used only to match getname() allocations. This is because when auditing is enabled, putname() calls audit_putname *instead* (not in addition) to __putname(). Then, if a syscall is in progress, audit_putname does not release the name - instead, it expects the name to get released when the syscall completes, but that will happen only if audit_getname() was called previously, i.e. if the name was allocated with getname() rather than the naked __getname(). So, __getname() followed by putname() ends up leaking memory.

Frantisek Hrbata authored
An integer overflow will happen on 64bit archs if task's sum of rss, swapents and nr_ptes exceeds (2^31)/1000 value. This was introduced by commit f755a042 oom: use pte pages in OOM score where the oom score computation was divided into several steps and it's no longer computed as one expression in unsigned long(rss, swapents, nr_pte are unsigned long), where the result value assigned to points(int) is in range(1..1000). So there could be an int overflow while computing 176 points *= 1000; and points may have negative value. Meaning the oom score for a mem hog task will be one. 196 if (points <= 0) 197 return 1; For example: [ 3366] 0 3366 35390480 24303939 5 0 0 oom01 Out of memory: Kill process 3366 (oom01) score 1 or sacrifice child Here the oom1 process consumes more than 24303939(rss)*4096~=92GB physical memory, but it's oom score is one. In this situation the mem hog task is skipped and oom killer kills another and most probably innocent task with oom score greater than one. The points variable should be of type long instead of int to prevent the int overflow.

There is a potential integer overflow in nilfs_ioctl_clean_segments(). When a large argv[n].v_nmembs is passed from the userspace, the subsequent call to vmalloc() will allocate a buffer smaller than expected, which leads to out-of-bound access in nilfs_ioctl_move_blocks() and lfs_clean_segments(). The following check does not prevent the overflow because nsegs is also controlled by the userspace and could be very large. if (argv[n].v_nmembs > nsegs * nilfs->ns_blocks_per_segment) goto out_free; This patch clamps argv[n].v_nmembs to UINT_MAX / argv[n].v_size, and returns -EINVAL when overflow.

Kernels where MAX_NUMNODES > BITS_PER_LONG may temporarily see an empty nodemask in a tsk's mempolicy if its previous nodemask is remapped onto a new set of allowed cpuset nodes where the two nodemasks, as a result of the remap, are now disjoint. c0ff7453 ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's mems") adds get_mems_allowed() to prevent the set of allowed nodes from changing for a thread. This causes any update to a set of allowed nodes to stall until put_mems_allowed() is called. This stall is unncessary, however, if at least one node remains unchanged in the update to the set of allowed nodes. This was addressed by 89e8a244 ("cpusets: avoid looping when storing to mems_allowed if one node remains set"), but it's still possible that an empty nodemask may be read from a mempolicy because the old nodemask may be remapped to the new nodemask during rebind. To prevent this, only avoid the stall if there is no mempolicy for the thread being changed. This is a temporary solution until all reads from mempolicy nodemasks can be guaranteed to not be empty without the get_mems_allowed() synchronization. Also moves the check for nodemask intersection inside task_lock() so that tsk->mems_allowed cannot change. This ensures that nothing can set this tsk's mems_allowed out from under us and also protects tsk->mempolicy.

When SDIO runtime PM was originally introduced, we immediately faced two regressions with two different chipsets, and in response decided not to enable it by default. With the recent work on the 8686 we hoped we found all the gotchas, so 08da834a did make sense (at least experimentally). Unfortunately we now see that some setups out there still refuse to work when SDIO runtime PM is enabled by default (see http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mmc/msg11161.html), and obviously we can't live with these kind of regressions.

Change oprofilefs_ulong_from_user()'s interface to return count on success. Thus, we are able to return early if count equals zero which avoids using *val uninitialized.
