Patch for -stable. Function find_early_table_space removed upstream. Fixes panic in alloc_low_page due to pgt_buf overflow during init_memory_mapping. find_early_table_space sizes pgt_buf based upon the size of the memory being mapped, but it does not take into account the alignment of the memory. When the region being mapped spans a 512GB (PGDIR_SIZE) alignment, a panic from alloc_low_pages occurs. kernel_physical_mapping_init takes into account PGDIR_SIZE alignment. This causes an extra call to alloc_low_page to be made. This extra call isn't accounted for by find_early_table_space and causes a kernel panic. Change is to take into account PGDIR_SIZE alignment in find_early_table_space. Signed-off-by:

commit 7fe70b57 upstream. ftrace_dump() had a lot of issues. What ftrace_dump() does, is when ftrace_dump_on_oops is set (via a kernel parameter or sysctl), it will dump out the ftrace buffers to the console when either a oops, panic, or a sysrq-z occurs. This was written a long time ago when ftrace was fragile to recursion. But it wasn't written well even for that. There's a possible deadlock that can occur if a ftrace_dump() is happening and an NMI triggers another dump. This is because it grabs a lock before checking if the dump ran. It also totally disables ftrace, and tracing for no good reasons. As the ring_buffer now checks if it is read via a oops or NMI, where there's a chance that the buffer gets corrupted, it will disable itself. No need to have ftrace_dump() do the same. ftrace_dump() is now cleaned up where it uses an atomic counter to make sure only one dump happens at a time. A simple atomic_inc_return() is enough that is needed for both other CPUs and NMIs. No need for a spinlock, as if one CPU is running the dump, no other CPU needs to do it too. The tracing_on variable is turned off and not turned on. The original code did this, but it wasn't pretty. By just disabling this variable we get the result of not seeing traces that happen between crashes. For sysrq-z, it doesn't get turned on, but the user can always write a '1' to the tracing_on file. If they are using sysrq-z, then they should know about tracing_on. The new code is much easier to read and less error prone. No more deadlock possibility when an NMI triggers here. Reported-by:

commit a83d6755 upstream. When a device attached to the roothub is suspended, the endpoint rings are stopped. The host may generate a completion event with the completion code set to 'Stopped' or 'Stopped Invalid' when the ring is halted. The current xHCI code prints a warning in that case, which can be really annoying if the USB device is coming into and out of suspend. Remove the unnecessary warning. Signed-off-by:

commit 13f85203 upstream. Some ancient pHyp versions used to create a 8 bytes local-mac-address property in the device-tree instead of a 6 bytes one for veth. The Linux driver code to deal with that is an insane hack which also happens to break with some choices of MAC addresses in qemu by testing for a bit in the address rather than just looking at the size of the property. Sanitize this by doing the latter instead. Signed-off-by:

commit ce8a5dbd upstream. When checking if an autofs mount point is busy it isn't sufficient to only check if it's a mount point. For example, if the mount of an offset mountpoint in a tree is denied for this host by its export and the dentry becomes a process working directory the check incorrectly returns the mount as not in use at expire. This can happen since the default when mounting within a tree is nostrict, which means ingnore mount fails on mounts within the tree and continue. The nostrict option is meant to allow mounting in this case. Signed-off-by:

commit 7122beee upstream. The following commit breaks numa distance setup for old powerpc systems that use form0 encoding in device tree. commit 41eab6f8 powerpc/numa: Use form 1 affinity to setup node distance Device tree node /rtas/ibm,associativity-reference-points would index into /cpus/PowerPCxxxx/ibm,associativity based on form0 or form1 encoding detected by ibm,architecture-vec-5 property. All modern systems use form1 and current kernel code is correct. However, on older systems with form0 encoding, the numa distance will get hard coded as LOCAL_DISTANCE for all nodes. This causes task scheduling anomaly since scheduler will skip building numa level domain (topmost domain with all cpus) if all numa distances are same. (value of 'level' in sched_init_numa() will remain 0) Prior to the above commit: ((from) == (to) ? LOCAL_DISTANCE : REMOTE_DISTANCE) Restoring compatible behavior with this patch for old powerpc systems with device tree where numa distance are encoded as form0. Signed-off-by:

commit 73d2fb75 upstream. POWER8 allows read and write of the DSCR in userspace. We added kernel emulation so applications could always use the instructions regardless of the CPU type. Unfortunately there are two SPRs for the DSCR and we only added emulation for the privileged one. Add code to match the non privileged one. A simple test was created to verify the fix: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/user_dscr_test.c Without the patch we get a SIGILL and it passes with the patch. Signed-off-by:

commit bdbc5d0c upstream. The driver is doing, by default, multi-block reads. When a block error occurs, card/block.c instigates a single block read: "mmcblk0: retrying using single block read". It leaves the sg chain intact and just changes the length attribute for the first sg entry and the overall sg_len parameter. When atmci_read_data_pio is called to read the single block of data it ignores the sg_len and expects to read more than 512 bytes as it sees there are multiple items in the sg list. No more data comes as the controller has only been commanded to get one block. Signed-off-by:

commit d87d8307 upstream. Previously, the ixgbe_msix_other was writing the full 32bits of the set interrupts, instead of only the ones which the ixgbe_msix_other is handling. This resulted in a loss of performance when the X540's PPS feature is enabled due to sometimes clearing queue interrupts which resulted in the driver not getting the interrupt for cleaning the q_vector rings often enough. The fix is to simply mask the lower 16bits off so that this handler does not write them in the EICR, which causes them to remain high and be properly handled by the clean_rings interrupt routine as normal.

commit d69f3bad upstream. Trying to run an application which was trying to put data into half of memory using shmget(), we found that having a shmall value below 8EiB-8TiB would prevent us from using anything more than 8TiB. By setting kernel.shmall greater than 8EiB-8TiB would make the job work. In the newseg() function, ns->shm_tot which, at 8TiB is INT_MAX. ipc/shm.c: 458 static int newseg(struct ipc_namespace *ns, struct ipc_params *params) 459 { ... 465 int numpages = (size + PAGE_SIZE -1) >> PAGE_SHIFT; ... 474 if (ns->shm_tot + numpages > ns->shm_ctlall) 475 return -ENOSPC; [akpm@linux-foundation.org: make ipc/shm.c:newseg()'s numpages size_t, not int] Signed-off-by:
