      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
      clear what action the programmer needs to take and should help us find
      the reason if additional symbol bugs show up.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      ARM: 7418/1: LPAE: fix access flag setup in mem_type_table · 1a3abcf4
      Vitaly Andrianov authored
      
      A zero value for prot_sect in the memory types table implies that
      section mappings should never be created for the memory type in question.
      This is checked for in alloc_init_section().
      
      With LPAE, we set a bit to mask access flag faults for kernel mappings.
      This breaks the aforementioned (!prot_sect) check in alloc_init_section().
      
      This patch fixes this bug by first checking for a non-zero
      prot_sect before setting the PMD_SECT_AF flag.

      virtio_net: invoke softirqs after __napi_schedule · ec13ee80
      Michael S. Tsirkin authored
      
      __napi_schedule might raise softirq but nothing
      causes do_softirq to trigger, so it does not in fact
      run. As a result,
      the error message "NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08"
      sometimes occurs during boot of a KVM guest when the network service is
      started and we are oom:
      
        ...
        Bringing up loopback interface:  [  OK  ]
        Bringing up interface eth0:
        Determining IP information for eth0...NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08
         done.
        [  OK  ]
        ...
      
      Further, receive queue processing might get delayed
      indefinitely until some interrupt triggers:
      virtio_net expected napi to be run immediately.
      
      One way to cause do_softirq to be executed is by
      invoking local_bh_enable(). As __napi_schedule is
      normally called from bh or irq context, this
      seems to make sense: disable bh before __napi_schedule
      and enable afterwards.
      
      In fact it's a very complicated way of calling do_softirq(),
      and works since this function is only used when we are not
      in interrupt context.  It's not hot at all, in any ideal scenario.

      virtio: balloon: let host know of updated balloon size before module removal · b8ae0eb3
      Amit Shah authored
      
      When the balloon module is removed, we deflate the balloon, reclaiming
      all the pages that were given to the host.  However, we don't update the
      config values for the new balloon size, resulting in the host showing
      outdated balloon values.
      
      The size update is done after each leak and fill operation, only the
      module removal case was left out.

      virtio: console: tell host of open ports after resume from s3/s4 · fa8b66cc
      Amit Shah authored
      
      If a port was open before going into one of the sleep states, the port
      can continue normal operation after restore.  However, the host has to
      be told that the guest side of the connection is open to restore
      pre-suspend state.
      
      This wasn't noticed so far due to a bug in qemu that was fixed recently
      (which marked the guest-side connection as always open).
