      Pull workqueue fix from Tejun Heo:
 "So, it turns out we had a silly bug in the most fundamental part of
  workqueue for a very long time.  AFAICS, this dates back to pre-git
  era and has quite likely been there from the time workqueue was first
  introduced.

  A work item uses its PENDING bit to synchronize multiple queuers.
  Anyone who wins the PENDING bit owns the pending state of the work
  item.  Whether a queuer wins or loses the race, one thing should be
  guaranteed - there will soon be at least one execution of the work
  item - where "after" means that the execution instance would be able
  to see all the changes that the queuer has made prior to the queueing
  attempt.

  Unfortunately, we were missing a smp_mb() after clearing PENDING for
  execution, so nothing guaranteed visibility of the changes that a
  queueing loser has made, which manifested as a reproducible blk-mq
  stall.

  Lots of kudos to Roman for debugging the problem.  The patch for
  -stable is the minimal one.  For v3.7, Peter is working on a patch to
  make the code path slightly more efficient and less fragile"

      Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo:
 "Two patches to fix a deadlock which can be easily triggered if memcg
  charge moving is used.

  This bug was introduced while converting threadgroup locking to a
  global percpu_rwsem and is caused by cgroup controller task migration
  path depending on the ability to create new kthreads.  cpuset had a
  similar issue which was fixed by performing heavy-lifting operations
  asynchronous to task migration.  The two patches fix the same issue in
  memcg in a similar way.  The first patch makes the mechanism generic
  and the second relocates memcg charge moving outside the migration
  path.

  Given that we don't want to perform heavy operations while
  writelocking threadgroup lock anyway, moving them out of the way is a
  desirable solution.  One thing to note is that the problem was
  difficult to debug because lockdep couldn't figure out the deadlock
  condition.  Looking into how to improve that"

      nios2: memset: use the right constraint modifier for the %4 output operand · a8950e49
      Romain Perier authored 
      Depending on the size of the area to be memset'ed, the nios2 memset implementation
either uses a naive loop (for buffers smaller or equal than 8 bytes) or a more optimized
implementation (for buffers larger than 8 bytes). This implementation does 4-byte stores
rather than 1-byte stores to speed up memset.

However, we discovered that on our nios2 platform, memset() was not properly setting the
buffer to the expected value. A memset of 0xff would not set the entire buffer to 0xff, but to:

0xff 0x00 0xff 0x00 0xff 0x00 0xff 0x00 ...

Which is obviously incorrect. Our investigation has revealed that the problem lies in the
incorrect constraints used in the inline assembly.

The following piece of assembly, from the nios2 memset implementation, is supposed to
create a 4-byte value that repeats 4 times the 1-byte pattern passed as memset argument:

/* fill8 %3, %5 (c & 0xff) */
"       slli    %4, %5, 8\n"
"       or      %4, %4, %5\n"
"       slli    %3, %4, 16\n"
"       or      %3, %3, %4\n"

However, depending on the compiler and optimization level, this code might be compiled as:

34:	280a923a 	slli	r5,r5,8
38:	294ab03a 	or	r5,r5,r5
3c:	2808943a 	slli	r4,r5,16
40:	2148b03a 	or	r4,r4,r5

This is wrong because r5 gets used both for %5 and %4, which leads to the final pattern
stored in r4 to be 0xff00ff00 rather than the expected 0xffffffff.

%4 is defined with the "=r" constraint, i.e as an output operand. However, as explained in
http://www.ethernut.de/en/documents/arm-inline-asm.html, this does not prevent gcc from
using the same register for an output operand (%4) and input operand (%5). By using the
constraint modifier '&', we indicate that the register should be used for output only. With this
change, we get the following assembly output:

34:	2810923a 	slli	r8,r5,8
38:	4150b03a 	or	r8,r8,r5
3c:	400e943a 	slli	r7,r8,16
40:	3a0eb03a 	or	r7,r7,r8

Which correctly produces the 0xffffffff pattern when 0xff is passed as the memset() pattern.

It is worth mentioning the observed consequence of this bug: we were hitting the kernel
BUG() in mm/bootmem.c:__free() that verifies when marking a page as free that it was
previously marked as occupied (i.e that the bit was set to 1). The entire bootmem bitmap is
set to 0xff bit via a memset() during the bootmem initialization. The bootmem_free() call right
after the initialization was finding some bits to be set to 0, which didn't make sense since the
bitmap has just been memset'ed to 0xff. Except that due to the bug explained above, the
bitmap was in fact initialized to 0xff00ff00.

Thanks to Marek Vasut for his help and feedback.

 "Here are the latest bug fixes for ARM SoCs, mostly addressing recent
  regressions.  Changes are across several platforms, so I'm listing
  every change separately here.

  Regressions since 4.5:

   - A correction of the psci firmware DT binding, to prevent users from
     relying on unintended semantics

   - Actually getting the newly merged clock driver for some OMAP
     platforms to work

   - A revert of patches for the Qualcomm BAM, these need to be reworked
     for 4.7 to avoid breaking boards other than the one they were
     intended for

   - A correction for the I2C device nodes on the Socionext Uniphier
     platform

   - i.MX SDHCI was broken for non-DT platforms due to a change with the
     setting of the DMA mask

   - A revert of a patch that accidentally added a nonexisting clock on
     the Rensas "Porter" board

   - A couple of OMAP fixes that are all related to suspend after the
     power domain changes for dra7

   - On Mediatek, revert part of the power domain initialization changes
     that broke mt8173-evb

  Fixes for older bugs:

   - Workaround for an "external abort" in the omap34xx suspend/resume
     code.

   - The USB1/eSATA should not be listed as an excon device on
     am57xx-beagle-x15 (broken since v4.0)

   - A v4.5 regression in the TI AM33xx and AM43XX DT specifying
     incorrect DMA request lines for the GPMC

   - The jiffies calibration on Renesas platforms was incorrect for some
     modern CPU cores.

   - A hardware errata woraround for clockdomains on TI DRA7"

      devpts: more pty driver interface cleanups · 8ead9dd5
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This is more prep-work for the upcoming pty changes.  Still just code
cleanup with no actual semantic changes.

This removes a bunch pointless complexity by just having the slave pty
side remember the dentry associated with the devpts slave rather than
the inode.  That allows us to remove all the "look up the dentry" code
for when we want to remove it again.

Together with moving the tty pointer from "inode->i_private" to
"dentry->d_fsdata" and getting rid of pointless inode locking, this
removes about 30 lines of code.  Not only is the end result smaller,
it's simpler and easier to understand.

The old code, for example, depended on the d_find_alias() to not just
find the dentry, but also to check that it is still hashed, which in
turn validated the tty pointer in the inode.

That is a _very_ roundabout way to say "invalidate the cached tty
pointer when the dentry is removed".

The new code just does

	dentry->d_fsdata = NULL;

in devpts_pty_kill() instead, invalidating the tty pointer rather more
directly and obviously.  Don't do something complex and subtle when the
obvious straightforward approach will do.

The rest of the patch (ie apart from code deletion and the above tty
pointer clearing) is just switching the calling convention to pass the
dentry or file pointer around instead of the inode.

      bpf: fix double-fdput in replace_map_fd_with_map_ptr() · 8358b02b
      Jann Horn authored 
      When bpf(BPF_PROG_LOAD, ...) was invoked with a BPF program whose bytecode
references a non-map file descriptor as a map file descriptor, the error
handling code called fdput() twice instead of once (in __bpf_map_get() and
in replace_map_fd_with_map_ptr()). If the file descriptor table of the
current task is shared, this causes f_count to be decremented too much,
allowing the struct file to be freed while it is still in use
(use-after-free). This can be exploited to gain root privileges by an
unprivileged user.

This bug was introduced in
commit 0246e64d ("bpf: handle pseudo BPF_LD_IMM64 insn"), but is only
exploitable since
commit 1be7f75d ("bpf: enable non-root eBPF programs") because
previously, CAP_SYS_ADMIN was required to reach the vulnerable code.

      RDMA/iw_cxgb4: Fix bar2 virt addr calculation for T4 chips · 32cc92c7
      Hariprasad S authored 
      For T4, kernel mode qps don't use the user doorbell. User mode qps during
flow control db ringing are forced into kernel, where user doorbell is
treated as kernel doorbell and proper bar2 offset in bar2 virtual space is
calculated, which incase of T4 is a bogus address, causing a kernel panic
due to illegal write during doorbell ringing.
In case of T4, kernel mode qp bar2 virtual address should be 0. Added T4
check during bar2 virtual address calculation to return 0. Fixed Bar2
range checks based on bar2 physical address.

The below oops will be fixed
