      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Pull device-mapper fixes from Mike Snitzer:
 "A few fixes for dm-snapshot, a 32 bit fix for dm-stats, a couple error
  handling fixes for dm-multipath.  A fix for the thin provisioning
  target to not expose non-zero discard limits if discards are disabled.

  Lastly, add two DM module parameters which allow users to tune the
  emergency memory reserves that DM mainatins per device -- this helps
  fix a long-standing issue for dm-multipath.  The conservative default
  reserve for request-based dm-multipath devices (256) has proven
  problematic for users with many multipathed SCSI devices but
  relatively little memory.  To responsibly select a smaller value users
  should use the new nr_bios tracepoint info (via commit 75afb352
  "block: Add nr_bios to block_rq_remap tracepoint") to determine the
  peak number of bios their workloads create"

      Pull powerpc fixes from Ben Herrenschmidt:
 "Here are a few things for -rc2, this time it's all written by me so it
  can only be perfect .... right ? :)

  So we have the fix to call irq_enter/exit on the irq stack we've been
  discussing, plus a cleanup on top to remove an unused (and broken)
  stack limit tracking feature (well, make it 32-bit only in fact where
  it is used and works properly).

  Then we have two things that I wrote over the last couple of days and
  made the executive decision to include just because I can (and I'm
  sure you won't object .... right ?).

  They fix a couple of annoying and long standing "issues":

   - We had separate zImages for when booting via Open Firmware vs.
     booting via a flat device-tree, while it's trivial to make one that
     deals with both

   - We wasted a ton of cycles spinning secondary CPUs uselessly at boot
     instead of starting them when needed on pseries, thus contributing
     significantly to global warming"

      MIPS: mm: Move some checks out of 'for' loop in DMA operations · 55c25c2f
      Jayachandran C authored 
      The check cpu_needs_post_dma_flush() in mips_dma_sync_sg_for_cpu() and
the check !plat_device_is_coherent() in mips_dma_sync_sg_for_device()
can be moved outside the for loop.

As a side effect, this also avoids a GCC bug that caused kernel compile
to fail with the error:

arch/mips/mm/dma-default.c: In function 'mips_dma_sync_sg_for_cpu':
arch/mips/mm/dma-default.c:316:1: internal compiler error: in add_insn_before, at emit-rtl.c:3852

This gcc failure is seen in Code Sourcery toolchains [e.g. gcc version
4.7.2 (Sourcery CodeBench Lite 2012.09-99)] after commit "MIPS: Optimize
current_cpu_type() for better code."

      xen/p2m: check MFN is in range before using the m2p table · 0160676b
      David Vrabel authored 
      On hosts with more than 168 GB of memory, a 32-bit guest may attempt
to grant map an MFN that is error cannot lookup in its mapping of the
m2p table.  There is an m2p lookup as part of m2p_add_override() and
m2p_remove_override().  The lookup falls off the end of the mapped
portion of the m2p and (because the mapping is at the highest virtual
address) wraps around and the lookup causes a fault on what appears to
be a user space address.

do_page_fault() (thinking it's a fault to a userspace address), tries
to lock mm->mmap_sem.  If the gntdev device is used for the grant map,
m2p_add_override() is called from from gnttab_mmap() with mm->mmap_sem
already locked.  do_page_fault() then deadlocks.

The deadlock would most commonly occur when a 64-bit guest is started
and xenconsoled attempts to grant map its console ring.

Introduce mfn_to_pfn_no_overrides() which checks the MFN is within the
mapped portion of the m2p table before accessing the table and use
this in m2p_add_override(), m2p_remove_override(), and mfn_to_pfn()
(which already had the correct range check).

All faults caused by accessing the non-existant parts of the m2p are
thus within the kernel address space and exception_fixup() is called
without trying to lock mm->mmap_sem.

This means that for MFNs that are outside the mapped range of the m2p
then mfn_to_pfn() will always look in the m2p overrides.  This is
correct because it must be a foreign MFN (and the PFN in the m2p in
this case is only relevant for the other domain).

--
v3: check for auto_translated_physmap in mfn_to_pfn_no_overrides()
v2: in mfn_to_pfn() look in m2p_overrides if the MFN is out of
    range as it's probably foreign.
