      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.

      When the relocs tool throws an error, let the error message say if it
      is an absolute or relative symbol.  This should make it a lot more

      the reason if additional symbol bugs show up.

      H. Peter Anvin authored
      GNU ld 2.22.52.0.1 has a bug that it blindly changes symbols from
      section-relative to absolute if they are in a section of zero length.
      This turns the symbols __init_begin and __init_end into absolute
      symbols.  Let the relocs program know that those should be treated as
      relative symbols.

      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.

      fs, proc: fix ABBA deadlock in case of execution attempt of map_files/ entries · eb94cd96

      map_files/ entries are never supposed to be executed, still curious
      minds might try to run them, which leads to the following deadlock

      This is because prepare_bprm_creds grabs task->signal->cred_guard_mutex
      and when do_lookup happens we try to grab 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.

      drivers/rtc/rtc-pl031.c: configure correct wday for 2000-01-01 · c0a5f4a0
      Rajkumar Kasirajan authored
      The reset date of the ST Micro version of PL031 is 2000-01-01.  The
      correct weekday for 2000-01-01 is saturday, but pl031 is initialized to
      sunday.  This may lead to alarm malfunction, so configure the correct
      wday if RTC_DR indicates reset.

         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.
