The IMX6 watchdog supports assertion of a signal (WDOG_B) which can be pinmux'd to an external pin. This is typically used for boards that have PMIC's in control of the IMX6 power rails. In fact, failure to use such an external reset on boards with external PMIC's can result in various hangs due to the IMX6 not being fully reset [1] as well as the board failing to reset because its PMIC has not been reset to provide adequate voltage for the CPU when coming out of reset at 800Mhz. This uses a new device-tree property 'fsl,ext-reset-output' to indicate the board has such a reset and to cause the watchdog to be configured to assert WDOG_B instead of an internal reset both on a watchdog timeout and in system_restart.

When performing a suspend operation, the kernel brings all of the non-boot CPUs offline, calling the hot plug notifiers with the flag, CPU_TASKS_FROZEN, set in the action code. Similarly, during resume, the CPUs are brought back online, but again the notifiers have the FROZEN flag set. While some very few drivers really need to treat suspend/resume specially, this driver unintentionally ignores the notifications. This patch changes the driver to disable the watchdog interrupt whenever the CPU goes offline, and to enable it whenever the CPU goes back online. As a result, the suspended state is no longer a special case that leaves the watchdog active.

Currently we read the tsc radio: ratio = (MSR_PLATFORM_INFO >> 8) & 0x1f; Thus we get bit 8-12 of MSR_PLATFORM_INFO, however according to the SDM (35.5), the ratio bits are bit 8-15. Ignoring the upper bits can result in an incorrect tsc ratio, which causes the TSC calibration and the Local APIC timer frequency to be incorrect. Fix this problem by masking 0xff instead.

It's tagged for -stable as the problem was introduced with the initial implementation in 4.5. - The new "error status translation" routine, introduced with the 4.6 updates to the nfit driver, missed a necessary path in acpi_nfit_ctl().

This is another attempt to avoid a regression in wwn_to_u64() after that started using get_unaligned_be64(), which in turn ran into a bug on gcc-4.9 through 6.1. The regression got introduced due to the combination of two separate workarounds (commits e3bde956: "include/linux/unaligned: force inlining of byteswap operations" and ef3fb242: "scsi: fc: use get/put_unaligned64 for wwn access") that each try to sidestep distinct problems with gcc behavior (code growth and increased stack usage). Unfortunately after both have been applied, a more serious gcc bug has been uncovered, leading to incorrect object code that discards part of a function and causes undefined behavior. As part of this problem is how __builtin_constant_p gets evaluated on an argument passed by reference into an inline function, this avoids the use of __builtin_constant_p() for all architectures that set CONFIG_ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP. Most architectures do not set ARCH_SUPPORTS_OPTIMIZED_INLINING, which means they probably do not suffer from the problem in the qla2xxx driver, but they might still run into it elsewhere. Both of the original workarounds were only merged in the 4.6 kernel, and the bug that is fixed by this patch should only appear if both are there, so we probably don't need to backport the fix. On the other hand, it works by simplifying the code path and should not have any negative effects.

Recently, we allow to save the stacktrace whose hashed value is 0. It causes the problem that stackdepot could return 0 even if in success. User of stackdepot cannot distinguish whether it is success or not so we need to solve this problem. In this patch, 1 bit are added to handle and make valid handle none 0 by setting this bit. After that, valid handle will not be 0 and 0 handle will represent failure correctly.

Since the wildcard at the end of OF module aliases is gone, autoloading of modules that don't match a device's last (most generic) compatible value fails. For example the CODA960 VPU on i.MX6Q has the SoC specific compatible "fsl,imx6q-vpu" and the generic compatible "cnm,coda960". Since the driver currently only works with knowledge about the SoC specific integration, it doesn't list "cnm,cod960" in the module device table. This results in the device compatible "of:NvpuT<NULL>Cfsl,imx6q-vpuCcnm,coda960" not matching the module alias "of:N*T*Cfsl,imx6q-vpu" anymore, whereas before commit 2f632369 ("modpost: don't add a trailing wildcard for OF module aliases") it matched the module alias "of:N*T*Cfsl,imx6q-vpu*". This patch adds two module aliases for each compatible, one without the wildcard and one with "C*" appended. $ modinfo coda | grep imx6q alias: of:N*T*Cfsl,imx6q-vpuC* alias: of:N*T*Cfsl,imx6q-vpu Fixes: 2f632369 ("modpost: don't add a trailing wildcard for OF module aliases") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1462203339-15340-1-git-send-email-p.zabel@pengutronix.deSigned-off-by: Philipp Zabel <p.zabel@pengutronix.de> Cc: Javier Martinez Canillas <javier@osg.samsung.com> Cc: Brian Norris <computersforpeace@gmail.com> Cc: Sjoerd Simons <sjoerd.simons@collabora.co.uk> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> [4.5+] Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

If /proc/<PID>/environ gets read before the envp[] array is fully set up in create_{aout,elf,elf_fdpic,flat}_tables(), we might end up trying to read more bytes than are actually written, as env_start will already be set but env_end will still be zero, making the range calculation underflow, allowing to read beyond the end of what has been written. Fix this as it is done for /proc/<PID>/cmdline by testing env_end for zero. It is, apparently, intentionally set last in create_*_tables(). This bug was found by the PaX size_overflow plugin that detected the arithmetic underflow of 'this_len = env_end - (env_start + src)' when env_end is still zero. The expected consequence is that userland trying to access /proc/<PID>/environ of a not yet fully set up process may get inconsistent data as we're in the middle of copying in the environment variables.

Instead of using "zswap" as the name for all zpools created, add an atomic counter and use "zswap%x" with the counter number for each zpool created, to provide a unique name for each new zpool. As zsmalloc, one of the zpool implementations, requires/expects a unique name for each pool created, zswap should provide a unique name. The zsmalloc pool creation does not fail if a new pool with a conflicting name is created, unless CONFIG_ZSMALLOC_STAT is enabled; in that case, zsmalloc pool creation fails with -ENOMEM. Then zswap will be unable to change its compressor parameter if its zpool is zsmalloc; it also will be unable to change its zpool parameter back to zsmalloc, if it has any existing old zpool using zsmalloc with page(s) in it. Attempts to change the parameters will result in failure to create the zpool. This changes zswap to provide a unique name for each zpool creation.

After the THP refcounting change, obtaining a compound pages from get_user_pages() no longer allows us to assume the entire compound page is immediately mappable from a secondary MMU. A secondary MMU doesn't want to call get_user_pages() more than once for each compound page, in order to know if it can map the whole compound page. So a secondary MMU needs to know from a single get_user_pages() invocation when it can map immediately the entire compound page to avoid a flood of unnecessary secondary MMU faults and spurious atomic_inc()/atomic_dec() (pages don't have to be pinned by MMU notifier users). Ideally instead of the page->_mapcount < 1 check, get_user_pages() should return the granularity of the "page" mapping in the "mm" passed to get_user_pages(). However it's non trivial change to pass the "pmd" status belonging to the "mm" walked by get_user_pages up the stack (up to the caller of get_user_pages). So the fix just checks if there is not a single pte mapping on the page returned by get_user_pages, and in turn if the caller can assume that the whole compound page is mapped in the current "mm" (in a pmd_trans_huge()). In such case the entire compound page is safe to map into the secondary MMU without additional get_user_pages() calls on the surrounding tail/head pages. In addition of being faster, not having to run other get_user_pages() calls also reduces the memory footprint of the secondary MMU fault in case the pmd split happened as result of memory pressure. Without this fix after a MADV_DONTNEED (like invoked by QEMU during postcopy live migration or balloning) or after generic swapping (with a failure in split_huge_page() that would only result in pmd splitting and not a physical page split), KVM would map the whole compound page into the shadow pagetables, despite regular faults or userfaults (like UFFDIO_COPY) may map regular pages into the primary MMU as result of the pte faults, leading to the guest mode and userland mode going out of sync and not working on the same memory at all times. Any other secondary MMU notifier manager (KVM is just one of the many MMU notifier users) will need the same information if it doesn't want to run a flood of get_user_pages_fast and it can support multiple granularity in the secondary MMU mappings, so I think it is justified to be exposed not just to KVM. The other option would be to move transparent_hugepage_adjust to mm/huge_memory.c but that currently has all kind of KVM data structures in it, so it's definitely not a cut-and-paste work, so I couldn't do a fix as cleaner as this one for 4.6.

/proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh warns nr_isolated_anon and nr_isolated_file go increasingly negative under compaction: which would add delay when should be none, or no delay when should delay. The bug in compaction was due to a recent mmotm patch, but much older instance of the bug was also noticed in isolate_migratepages_range() which is used for CMA and gigantic hugepage allocations. The bug is caused by putback_movable_pages() in an error path decrementing the isolated counters without them being previously incremented by acct_isolated(). Fix isolate_migratepages_range() by removing the error-path putback, thus reaching acct_isolated() with migratepages still isolated, and leaving putback to caller like most other places do.

Khugepaged attempts to raise min_free_kbytes if its set too low. However, on boot khugepaged sets min_free_kbytes first from subsys_initcall(), and then the mm 'core' over-rides min_free_kbytes after from init_per_zone_wmark_min(), via a module_init() call. Khugepaged used to use a late_initcall() to set min_free_kbytes (such that it occurred after the core initialization), however this was removed when the initialization of min_free_kbytes was integrated into the starting of the khugepaged thread. The fix here is simply to invoke the core initialization using a core_initcall() instead of module_init(), such that the previous initialization ordering is restored. I didn't restore the late_initcall() since start_stop_khugepaged() already sets min_free_kbytes via set_recommended_min_free_kbytes(). This was noticed when we had a number of page allocation failures when moving a workload to a kernel with this new initialization ordering. On an 8GB system this restores min_free_kbytes back to 67584 from 11365 when CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y is set and either CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_ALWAYS=y or CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_MADVISE=y.

zap_pmd_range()'s CONFIG_DEBUG_VM !rwsem_is_locked(&mmap_sem) BUG() will be invalid with huge pagecache, in whatever way it is implemented: truncation of a hugely-mapped file to an unhugely-aligned size would easily hit it. (Although anon THP could in principle apply khugepaged to private file mappings, which are not excluded by the MADV_HUGEPAGE restrictions, in practice there's a vm_ops check which excludes them, so it never hits this BUG() - there's no interface to "truncate" an anonymous mapping.) We could complicate the test, to check i_mmap_rwsem also when there's a vm_file; but my inclination was to make zap_pmd_range() more readable by simply deleting this check. A search has shown no report of the issue in the years since commit e0897d75 ("mm, thp: print useful information when mmap_sem is unlocked in zap_pmd_range") expanded it from VM_BUG_ON() - though I cannot point to what commit I would say then fixed the issue. But there are a couple of other patches now floating around, neither yet in the tree: let's agree to retain the check as a VM_BUG_ON_VMA(), as Matthew Wilcox has done; but subject to a vma_is_anonymous() check, as Kirill Shutemov has done. And let's get this in, without waiting for any particular huge pagecache implementation to reach the tree. Matthew said "We can reproduce this BUG() in the current Linus tree with DAX PMDs".
