      genirq: Prevent resend to interrupts marked IRQ_NESTED_THREAD · 351ee276
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      commit 75a06189 upstream.

The resend mechanism happily calls the interrupt handler of interrupts
which are marked IRQ_NESTED_THREAD from softirq context. This can
result in crashes because the interrupt handler is not the proper way
to invoke the device handlers. They must be invoked via
handle_nested_irq.

Prevent the resend even if the interrupt has no valid parent irq
set. Its better to have a lost interrupt than a crashing machine.

      ARC: make sure instruction_pointer() returns unsigned value · b9d5df39
      Alexey Brodkin authored 
      commit f51e2f19 upstream.

Currently instruction_pointer() returns pt_regs->ret and so return value
is of type "long", which implicitly stands for "signed long".

While that's perfectly fine when dealing with 32-bit values if return
value of instruction_pointer() gets assigned to 64-bit variable sign
extension may happen.

And at least in one real use-case it happens already.
In perf_prepare_sample() return value of perf_instruction_pointer()
(which is an alias to instruction_pointer() in case of ARC) is assigned
to (struct perf_sample_data)->ip (which type is "u64").

And what we see if instuction pointer points to user-space application
that in case of ARC lays below 0x8000_0000 "ip" gets set properly with
leading 32 zeros. But if instruction pointer points to kernel address
space that starts from 0x8000_0000 then "ip" is set with 32 leadig
"f"-s. I.e. id instruction_pointer() returns 0x8100_0000, "ip" will be
assigned with 0xffff_ffff__8100_0000. Which is obviously wrong.

In particular that issuse broke output of perf, because perf was unable
to associate addresses like 0xffff_ffff__8100_0000 with anything from
/proc/kallsyms.

That's what we used to see:
 ----------->8----------
  6.27%  ls       [unknown]                [k] 0xffffffff8046c5cc
  2.96%  ls       libuClibc-0.9.34-git.so  [.] memcpy
  2.25%  ls       libuClibc-0.9.34-git.so  [.] memset
  1.66%  ls       [unknown]                [k] 0xffffffff80666536
  1.54%  ls       libuClibc-0.9.34-git.so  [.] 0x000224d6
  1.18%  ls       libuClibc-0.9.34-git.so  [.] 0x00022472
 ----------->8----------

With that change perf output looks much better now:
 ----------->8----------
  8.21%  ls       [kernel.kallsyms]        [k] memset
  3.52%  ls       libuClibc-0.9.34-git.so  [.] memcpy
  2.11%  ls       libuClibc-0.9.34-git.so  [.] malloc
  1.88%  ls       libuClibc-0.9.34-git.so  [.] memset
  1.64%  ls       [kernel.kallsyms]        [k] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
  1.41%  ls       [kernel.kallsyms]        [k] __d_lookup_rcu

      s390/sclp: clear upper register halves in _sclp_print_early · 496398df
      Martin Schwidefsky authored 
      commit f9c87a6f upstream.

If the kernel is compiled with gcc 5.1 and the XZ compression option
the decompress_kernel function calls _sclp_print_early in 64-bit mode
while the content of the upper register half of %r6 is non-zero.
This causes a specification exception on the servc instruction in
_sclp_servc.

The _sclp_print_early function saves and restores the upper registers
halves but it fails to clear them for the 31-bit code of the mini sclp
driver.

      freeing unlinked file indefinitely delayed · f9c48e68
      Al Viro authored 
      commit 75a6f82a upstream.

	Normally opening a file, unlinking it and then closing will have
the inode freed upon close() (provided that it's not otherwise busy and
has no remaining links, of course).  However, there's one case where that
does *not* happen.  Namely, if you open it by fhandle with cold dcache,
then unlink() and close().

	In normal case you get d_delete() in unlink(2) notice that dentry
is busy and unhash it; on the final dput() it will be forcibly evicted from
dcache, triggering iput() and inode removal.  In this case, though, we end
up with *two* dentries - disconnected (created by open-by-fhandle) and
regular one (used by unlink()).  The latter will have its reference to inode
dropped just fine, but the former will not - it's considered hashed (it
is on the ->s_anon list), so it will stay around until the memory pressure
will finally do it in.  As the result, we have the final iput() delayed
indefinitely.  It's trivial to reproduce -

void flush_dcache(void)
{
        system("mount -o remount,rw /");
}

static char buf[20 * 1024 * 1024];

main()
{
        int fd;
        union {
                struct file_handle f;
                char buf[MAX_HANDLE_SZ];
        } x;
        int m;

        x.f.handle_bytes = sizeof(x);
        chdir("/root");
        mkdir("foo", 0700);
        fd = open("foo/bar", O_CREAT | O_RDWR, 0600);
        close(fd);
        name_to_handle_at(AT_FDCWD, "foo/bar", &x.f, &m, 0);
        flush_dcache();
        fd = open_by_handle_at(AT_FDCWD, &x.f, O_RDWR);
        unlink("foo/bar");
        write(fd, buf, sizeof(buf));
        system("df .");			/* 20Mb eaten */
        close(fd);
        system("df .");			/* should've freed those 20Mb */
        flush_dcache();
        system("df .");			/* should be the same as #2 */
}

will spit out something like
Filesystem     1K-blocks   Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root         322023 303843      1131 100% /
Filesystem     1K-blocks   Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root         322023 303843      1131 100% /
Filesystem     1K-blocks   Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root         322023 283282     21692  93% /
- inode gets freed only when dentry is finally evicted (here we trigger
than by remount; normally it would've happened in response to memory
pressure hell knows when).

      mm: avoid setting up anonymous pages into file mapping · bf653833
      Kirill A. Shutemov authored 
      commit 6b7339f4 upstream.

Reading page fault handler code I've noticed that under right
circumstances kernel would map anonymous pages into file mappings: if
the VMA doesn't have vm_ops->fault() and the VMA wasn't fully populated
on ->mmap(), kernel would handle page fault to not populated pte with
do_anonymous_page().

Let's change page fault handler to use do_anonymous_page() only on
anonymous VMA (->vm_ops == NULL) and make sure that the VMA is not
shared.

For file mappings without vm_ops->fault() or shred VMA without vm_ops,
page fault on pte_none() entry would lead to SIGBUS.
