      ACPI / PM: Make __acpi_bus_get_power() cover D3cold correctly · 38c92fff
      Rafael J. Wysocki authored
      After recent changes of the ACPI device power states definitions, if
      power resources are not used for the device's power management, the
      state returned by __acpi_bus_get_power() cannot exceed D3hot, because
      the return values of _PSC are 0 through 3.  However, if the _PR3
      method is not present for the device and _PS3 returns 3, we have to
      assume that the device is in D3cold, so the value returned by
      __acpi_bus_get_power() in that case should be 4.
      
      Similarly, acpi_power_get_inferred_state() should take the power
      resources for the D3hot state into account in general, so that it
      can return 3 if those resources are "on" or 4 (D3cold) otherwise.
      
      Fix the the above two issues and make sure that if both _PSC and
      _PR3 are present for the device, the power resources listed by _PR3
      will be used to determine if the number 3 returned by _PSC is meant
      to represent D3cold or D3hot.

      After recent changes of the ACPI device low-power states definitions
      kernel messages in drivers/acpi/bus.c need to be updated so that they
      include the correct names of the states in question (currently is
      "D3" for D3hot and "D4" for D3cold, which is incorrect).

      ACPI / PM: Generate wakeup events on fixed power button · c10d7a13
      Daniel Drake authored
      When the system is woken up by the ACPI fixed power button, currently there
      is no way of userspace becoming aware that the power button was pressed.
      
      OLPC would like to know this, so that we can respond appropriately.
      For example, if the system was woken up by a network packet, we know
      we can go back to sleep very quickly. But if the user explicitly woke the
      system with the power button, we're going to want to stay awake for a
      while.
      
      The wakeup count mechanism seems like a good fit for communicating this.
      Mark the fixed power button as wakeup-enabled, and increment its wakeup
      counter when the system is woken with the power button. (The wakeup counter
      is also incremented when the power button is pressed during system
      operation; this is already handled by an existing acpi-button codepath).

      Pull x86 linker bug workarounds from Peter Anvin.
      
      GNU ld-2.22.52.0.[12] (*) has an unfortunate bug where it incorrectly
      turns certain relocation entries absolute.  Section-relative symbols
      that are part of otherwise empty sections are silently changed them to
      absolute.  We rely on section-relative symbols staying section-relative,
      and actually have several sections in the linker script solely for this
      purpose.
      
      See for example
      
         http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14052
      
      We could just black-list the buggy linker, but it appears that it got
      shipped in at least F17, and possibly other distros too, so it's sadly
      not some rare unusual case.
      
      This backports the workaround from the x86/trampoline branch, and as
      Peter says: "This is not a minimal fix, not at all, but it is a tested
      code base."

      memcg,thp: fix res_counter:96 regression · 62ade86a
      Hugh Dickins authored
      Occasionally, testing memcg's move_charge_at_immigrate on rc7 shows
      a flurry of hundreds of warnings at kernel/res_counter.c:96, where
      res_counter_uncharge_locked() does WARN_ON(counter->usage < val).
      
      The first trace of each flurry implicates __mem_cgroup_cancel_charge()
      of mc.precharge, and an audit of mc.precharge handling points to
      mem_cgroup_move_charge_pte_range()'s THP handling in commit 12724850
      ("memcg: avoid THP split in task migration").
      
      Checking !mc.precharge is good everywhere else, when a single page is to
      be charged; but here the "mc.precharge -= HPAGE_PMD_NR" likely to
      follow, is liable to result in underflow (a lot can change since the
      precharge was estimated).
      
      Simply check against HPAGE_PMD_NR: there's probably a better
      alternative, trying precharge for more, splitting if unsuccessful; but
      this one-liner is safer for now - no kernel/res_counter.c:96 warnings
      seen in 26 hours.

      x86, realmode: 16-bit real-mode code support for relocs tool · 6520fe55
      H. Peter Anvin authored
      A new option is added to the relocs tool called '--realmode'.
      This option causes the generation of 16-bit segment relocations
      and 32-bit linear relocations for the real-mode code. When
      the real-mode code is moved to the low-memory during kernel
      initialization, these relocation entries can be used to
      relocate the code properly.
      
      In the assembly code 16-bit segment relocations must be relative
      to the 'real_mode_seg' absolute symbol. Linear relocations must be
      relative to a symbol prefixed with 'pa_'.
      
      16-bit segment relocation is used to load cs:ip in 16-bit code.
      Linear relocations are used in the 32-bit code for relocatable
      data references. They are declared in the linker script of the
      real-mode code.
      
      The relocs tool is moved to arch/x86/tools/relocs.c, and added new
      target archscripts that can be used to build scripts needed building
      an architecture.  be compiled before building the arch/x86 tree.
      
      [ hpa: accelerating this because it detects invalid absolute
        relocations, a serious bug in binutils 2.22.52.0.x which currently
        produces bad kernels. ]

      dm thin: fix table output when pool target disables discard passdown internally · f402693d
      Mike Snitzer authored
      When the thin pool target clears the discard_passdown parameter
      internally, it incorrectly changes the table line reported to userspace.
      This breaks dumb string comparisons on these table lines in generic
      userspace device-mapper library code and leads to tables being reloaded
      repeatedly when nothing is actually meant to be changing.
      
      This patch corrects this by no longer changing the table line when
      discard passdown was disabled.
      
      We can still tell when discard passdown is overridden by looking for the
      message "Discard unsupported by data device (sdX): Disabling discard passdown."
      
      This automatic detection is also moved from the 'load' to the 'resume'
      so that it is re-evaluated should the properties of underlying devices
      change.

      proc: move fd symlink i_mode calculations into tid_fd_revalidate() · 30a08bf2
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Instead of doing the i_mode calculations at proc_fd_instantiate() time,
      move them into tid_fd_revalidate(), which is where the other inode state
      (notably uid/gid information) is updated too.
      
      Otherwise we'll end up with stale i_mode information if an fd is re-used
      while the dentry still hangs around.  Not that anything really *cares*
      (symlink permissions don't really matter), but Tetsuo Handa noticed that
      the owner read/write bits don't always match the state of the
      readability of the file descriptor, and we _used_ to get this right a
      long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
      
      Besides, aside from fixing an ugly detail (that has apparently been this
      way since commit 61a28784: "proc: Remove the hard coded inode
      numbers" in 2006), this removes more lines of code than it adds.  And it
      just makes sense to update i_mode in the same place we update i_uid/gid.
      
      Al Viro correctly points out that we could just do the inode fill in the
      inode iops ->getattr() function instead.  However, that does require
      somewhat slightly more invasive changes, and adds yet *another* lookup
      of the file descriptor.  We need to do the revalidate() for other
      reasons anyway, and have the file descriptor handy, so we might as well
      fill in the information at this point.

      tilegx: enable SYSCALL_WRAPPERS support · e6d9668e
      Chris Metcalf authored
      Some discussion with the glibc mailing lists revealed that this was
      necessary for 64-bit platforms with MIPS-like sign-extension rules
      for 32-bit values.  The original symptom was that passing (uid_t)-1 to
      setreuid() was failing in programs linked -pthread because of the "setxid"
      mechanism for passing setxid-type function arguments to the syscall code.
      SYSCALL_WRAPPERS handles ensuring that all syscall arguments end up with
      proper sign-extension and is thus the appropriate fix for this problem.
      
      On other platforms (s390, powerpc, sparc64, and mips) this was fixed
      in 2.6.28.6.  The general issue is tracked as CVE-2009-0029.

      This is because prepare_bprm_creds grabs task->signal->cred_guard_mutex

      again in lock_trace.
      
      Fix it using plain ptrace_may_access() helper in proc_map_files_lookup()
      and in proc_map_files_readdir() instead of lock_trace(), the caller must
      be CAP_SYS_ADMIN granted anyway.

         2002.
      
         When we block to wait for memory we have to unconditionally try and
         push out pending TCP data, otherwise we can block for an unreasonably

      ACPI / PCI / PM: Fix device PM regression related to D3hot/D3cold · 5c7dd710
      Rafael J. Wysocki authored
      Commit 1cc0c998 ("ACPI: Fix D3hot v D3cold confusion") introduced a
      bug in __acpi_bus_set_power() and changed the behavior of
      acpi_pci_set_power_state() in such a way that it generally doesn't work
      as expected if PCI_D3hot is passed to it as the second argument.
      
      First off, if ACPI_STATE_D3 (equal to ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD) is passed to
      __acpi_bus_set_power() and the explicit_set flag is set for the D3cold
      state, the function will try to execute AML method called "_PS4", which
      doesn't exist.
      
      Fix this by adding a check to ensure that the name of the AML method
      to execute for transitions to ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD is correct in
      __acpi_bus_set_power().  Also make sure that the explicit_set flag
      for ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD will be set if _PS3 is present and modify
      acpi_power_transition() to avoid accessing power resources for
      ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD, because they don't exist.
      
      Second, if PCI_D3hot is passed to acpi_pci_set_power_state() as the
      target state, the function will request a transition to
      ACPI_STATE_D3_HOT instead of ACPI_STATE_D3.  However,
      ACPI_STATE_D3_HOT is now only marked as supported if the _PR3 AML
      method is defined for the given device, which is rare.  This causes
      problems to happen on systems where devices were successfully put
      into ACPI D3 by pci_set_power_state(PCI_D3hot) which doesn't work
      now.  In particular, some unused graphics adapters are not turned
      off as a result.
      
      To fix this issue restore the old behavior of
      acpi_pci_set_power_state(), which is to request a transition to
      ACPI_STATE_D3 (equal to ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD) if either PCI_D3hot or
      PCI_D3cold is passed to it as the argument.
      
      This approach is not ideal, because generally power should not
      be removed from devices if PCI_D3hot is the target power state,
      but since this behavior is relied on, we have no choice but to
      restore it at the moment and spend more time on designing a
      better solution in the future.

      tcp: do_tcp_sendpages() must try to push data out on oom conditions · bad115cf
      Willy Tarreau authored
      Since recent changes on TCP splicing (starting with commits 2f533844
      "tcp: allow splice() to build full TSO packets" and 35f9c09f "tcp:
      tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() once"), I started seeing
      massive stalls when forwarding traffic between two sockets using
      splice() when pipe buffers were larger than socket buffers.
      
      Latest changes (net: netdev_alloc_skb() use build_skb()) made the
      problem even more apparent.
      
      The reason seems to be that if do_tcp_sendpages() fails on out of memory
      condition without being able to send at least one byte, tcp_push() is not
      called and the buffers cannot be flushed.
      
      After applying the attached patch, I cannot reproduce the stalls at all
      and the data rate it perfectly stable and steady under any condition
      which previously caused the problem to be permanent.
      
      The issue seems to have been there since before the kernel migrated to
      git, which makes me think that the stalls I occasionally experienced
      with tux during stress-tests years ago were probably related to the
      same issue.
      
      This issue was first encountered on 3.0.31 and 3.2.17, so please backport
      to -stable.

        The second patch is to address a bug with FILEIO backends where the
        incorrect number of blocks for READ_CAPACITY was being reported after
        an underlying device-mapper block_device size change.  This patch uses

      resize operations where the original fd_dev->fd_dev_size was incorrectly being
      used in fd_get_blocks() for READ_CAPACITY response payloads.
      
      This patch avoids using fd_dev->fd_dev_size for FILEIO devices with
      an underlying block_device, and instead changes fd_get_blocks() to
      get the sector count directly from i_size_read() as recommended by hch.

      ARM: 7419/1: vfp: fix VFP flushing regression on sigreturn path · 56cb2484
      Will Deacon authored
      Commit ff9a184c ("ARM: 7400/1: vfp: clear fpscr length and stride bits
      on entry to sig handler") flushes the VFP state prior to entering a
      signal handler so that a VFP operation inside the handler will trap and
      force a restore of ABI-compliant registers. Reflushing and disabling VFP
      on the sigreturn path is predicated on the saved thread state indicating
      that VFP was used by the handler -- however for SMP platforms this is
      only set on context-switch, making the check unreliable and causing VFP
      register corruption in userspace since the register values are not
      necessarily those restored from the sigframe.
      
      This patch unconditionally flushes the VFP state after a signal handler.
      Since we already perform the flush before the handler and the flushing
      itself happens lazily, the redundant flush when VFP is not used by the
      handler is essentially a nop.
