      crypto: algapi - Move larval completion into algboss · 39871037
      Herbert Xu authored 
      It has been observed that sometimes the crypto allocation code
will get stuck for 60 seconds or multiples thereof.  This is
usually caused by an algorithm failing to pass the self-test.

If an algorithm fails to be constructed, we will immediately notify
all larval waiters.  However, if it succeeds in construction, but
then fails the self-test, we won't notify anyone at all.

This patch fixes this by merging the notification in the case
where the algorithm fails to be constructed with that of the
the case where it pases the self-test.  This way regardless of
what happens, we'll give the larval waiters an answer.

      mm, oom: fix badness score underflow · 1e11ad8d
      David Rientjes authored 
      If the privileges given to root threads (3% of allowable memory) or a
negative value of /proc/pid/oom_score_adj happen to exceed the amount of
rss of a thread, its badness score overflows as a result of commit
a7f638f9 ("mm, oom: normalize oom scores to oom_score_adj scale only
for userspace").

Fix this by making the type signed and return 1, meaning the thread is
still eligible for kill, if the value is negative.

      Revert "drm/i915/crt: Do not rely upon the HPD presence pin" · 8f53369b
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This reverts commit 9e612a00.

It incorrectly finds VGA connectors where none are attached, apparently
not noticing that nothing replied to the EDID queries, and happily using
the default EDID modes that have nothing to do with actual hardware.

That in turn then causes X to fall down to the lowest common
denominator, which is usually the default 1024x768 mode that is in the
default EDID and pretty much anything supports).

I'd suggest that if not relying on the HDP pin, the code should at least
check whether it gets valid EDID data back, rather than just assume
there's something on the VGA connector.

      Revert "vfs: stop d_splice_alias creating directory aliases" · 32ba9c3f
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This reverts commit 7732a557 (and commit
3f50fff4, which was a follow-up
cleanup).

We're chasing an elusive bug that Dave Jones can apparently reproduce
using his system call fuzzer tool, and that looks like some kind of
locking ordering problem on the directory i_mutex chain.  Our i_mutex
locking is rather complex, and depends on the topological ordering of
the directories, which is why we have been very wary of splicing
directory entries around.

Of course, we really don't want to ever see aliased unconnected
directories anyway, so none of this should ever happen, but this revert
aims to basically get us back to a known older state.

Bruce points to some of the previous discussion at

       http://marc.info/?i=<20110310105821.GE22723@ZenIV.linux.org.uk>

and in particular a long post from Neil:

       http://marc.info/?i=<20110311150749.2fa2be66@notabene.brown>

It should be noted that it's possible that Dave's problems come from
other changes altohgether, including possibly just the fact that Dave
constantly is teachning his fuzzer new tricks.  So what appears to be a
new bug could in fact be an old one that just gets newly triggered, but
reverting these patches as "still under heavy discussion" is the right
thing regardless.

      x86/nmi: Fix section mismatch warnings on 32-bit · eeaaa96a
      Don Zickus authored 
      It was reported that compiling for 32-bit caused a bunch of
section mismatch warnings:

 VDSOSYM arch/x86/vdso/vdso32-syms.lds
  LD      arch/x86/vdso/built-in.o
  LD      arch/x86/built-in.o

 WARNING: arch/x86/built-in.o(.data+0x5af0): Section mismatch in
 reference from the variable test_nmi_ipi_callback_na.10451 to
 the function .init.text:test_nmi_ipi_callback() [...]

 WARNING: arch/x86/built-in.o(.data+0x5b04): Section mismatch in
 reference from the variable nmi_unk_cb_na.10399 to the function
 .init.text:nmi_unk_cb() The variable nmi_unk_cb_na.10399
 references the function __init nmi_unk_cb() [...]

Both of these are attributed to the internal representation of
the nmiaction struct created during register_nmi_handler.  The
reason for this is that those structs are not defined in the
init section whereas the rest of the code in nmi_selftest.c is.

To resolve this, I created a new #define,
register_nmi_handler_initonly, that tags the struct as
__initdata to resolve the mismatch.  This #define should only be
used in rare situations where the register/unregister is called
during init of the kernel.

Big thanks to Jan Beulich for decoding this for me as I didn't
have a clue what was going on.

      powerpc: Fix kernel panic during kernel module load · 3c752965
      Steffen Rumler authored 
      This fixes a problem which can causes kernel oopses while loading
a kernel module.

According to the PowerPC EABI specification, GPR r11 is assigned
the dedicated function to point to the previous stack frame.
In the powerpc-specific kernel module loader, do_plt_call()
(in arch/powerpc/kernel/module_32.c), GPR r11 is also used
to generate trampoline code.

This combination crashes the kernel, in the case where the compiler
chooses to use a helper function for saving GPRs on entry, and the
module loader has placed the .init.text section far away from the
.text section, meaning that it has to generate a trampoline for
functions in the .init.text section to call the GPR save helper.
Because the trampoline trashes r11, references to the stack frame
using r11 can cause an oops.

The fix just uses GPR r12 instead of GPR r11 for generating the
trampoline code.  According to the statements from Freescale, this is
safe from an EABI perspective.

I've tested the fix for kernel 2.6.33 on MPC8541.

      Cliff Wickman authored 
      The SGI Altix UV2 BAU (Broadcast Assist Unit) as used for
tlb-shootdown (selective broadcast mode) always uses UV2
broadcast descriptor format. There is no need to clear the
'legacy' (UV1) mode, because the hardware always uses UV2 mode
for selective broadcast.

But the BIOS uses general broadcast and legacy mode, and the
hardware pays attention to the legacy mode bit for general
broadcast. So the kernel must not clear that mode bit.

Robin found this regression:

| I just tried to boot an 8TB system.  It fails very early in boot with:
| Kernel panic - not syncing: Cannot find space for the kernel page tables

git bisect commit 722bc6b1.

A git revert of that commit does boot past that point on the 8TB
configuration.

That commit will add up extra pages for all memory range even
above 4g.

Try to limit that extra page count adding to first entry only.
