      Pull take two of the GPIO updates:
       "Same stuff as last time, now with a fixup patch for the previous
        compile error plus I ran a few extra rounds of compile-testing.
      
        This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v3.19 series:
      
         - A new API that allows setting more than one GPIO at the time.  This
           is implemented for the new descriptor-based API only and makes it
           possible to e.g. toggle a clock and data line at the same time, if
           the hardware can do this with a single register write.  Both
           consumers and drivers need new calls, and the core will fall back
           to driving individual lines where needed.  Implemented for the
           MPC8xxx driver initially
      
         - Patched the mdio-mux-gpio and the serial mctrl driver that drives
           modems to use the new multiple-setting API to set several signals
           simultaneously
      
         - Get rid of the global GPIO descriptor array, and instead allocate
           descriptors dynamically for each GPIO on a certain GPIO chip.  This
           moves us closer to getting rid of the limitation of using the
           global, static GPIO numberspace
      
         - New driver and device tree bindings for 74xx ICs
      
         - New driver and device tree bindings for the VF610 Vybrid
      
         - Support the RCAR r8a7793 and r8a7794
      
         - Guidelines for GPIO device tree bindings trying to get things a bit
           more strict with the advent of combined device properties
      
         - Suspend/resume support for the MVEBU driver
      
         - A slew of minor fixes and improvements"

      x86/tls: Disallow unusual TLS segments · 0e58af4e
      Andy Lutomirski authored
      Users have no business installing custom code segments into the
      GDT, and segments that are not present but are otherwise valid
      are a historical source of interesting attacks.
      
      For completeness, block attempts to set the L bit.  (Prior to
      this patch, the L bit would have been silently dropped.)
      
      This is an ABI break.  I've checked glibc, musl, and Wine, and
      none of them look like they'll have any trouble.
      
      Note to stable maintainers: this is a hardening patch that fixes
      no known bugs.  Given the possibility of ABI issues, this
      probably shouldn't be backported quickly.

      aio: Skip timer for io_getevents if timeout=0 · 5f785de5
      Fam Zheng authored
      In this case, it is basically a polling. Let's not involve timer at all
      because that would hurt performance for application event loops.
      
      In an arbitrary test I've done, io_getevents syscall elapsed time
      reduces from 50000+ nanoseconds to a few hundereds.

      aio: Make it possible to remap aio ring · e4a0d3e7
      Pavel Emelyanov authored
      There are actually two issues this patch addresses. Let me start with
      the one I tried to solve in the beginning.
      
      So, in the checkpoint-restore project (criu) we try to dump tasks'
      state and restore one back exactly as it was. One of the tasks' state
      bits is rings set up with io_setup() call. There's (almost) no problems
      in dumping them, there's a problem restoring them -- if I dump a task
      with aio ring originally mapped at address A, I want to restore one
      back at exactly the same address A. Unfortunately, the io_setup() does
      not allow for that -- it mmaps the ring at whatever place mm finds
      appropriate (it calls do_mmap_pgoff() with zero address and without
      the MAP_FIXED flag).
      
      To make restore possible I'm going to mremap() the freshly created ring
      into the address A (under which it was seen before dump). The problem is
      that the ring's virtual address is passed back to the user-space as the
      context ID and this ID is then used as search key by all the other io_foo()
      calls. Reworking this ID to be just some integer doesn't seem to work, as
      this value is already used by libaio as a pointer using which this library
      accesses memory for aio meta-data.
      
      So, to make restore work we need to make sure that
      
      a) ring is mapped at desired virtual address
      b) kioctx->user_id matches this value
      
      Having said that, the patch makes mremap() on aio region update the
      kioctx's user_id and mmap_base values.
      
      Here appears the 2nd issue I mentioned in the beginning of this mail.
      If (regardless of the C/R dances I do) someone creates an io context
      with io_setup(), then mremap()-s the ring and then destroys the context,
      the kill_ioctx() routine will call munmap() on wrong (old) address.
      This will result in a) aio ring remaining in memory and b) some other
      vma get unexpectedly unmapped.
      
      What do you think?

       "Here's two fixes:
      
        1) Discovered by Fengguang Wu's tests.  I changed the parameters to
           the function graph x86 prepare_ftrace_return call but forgot to
           update the call from entry_32 (i386 version).  This patch corrects
           that.
      
        2) I was tracing some code and found that the sched_switch tracepoint
           was showing tasks in the INTERRUPTIBLE state as RUNNING.  This was
           due to the updates to convert preempt_count into a per_cpu

      fallocate: create FAN_MODIFY and IN_MODIFY events · 820c12d5
      Heinrich Schuchardt authored
      The fanotify and the inotify API can be used to monitor changes of the
      file system.  System call fallocate() modifies files.  Hence it should
      trigger the corresponding fanotify (FAN_MODIFY) and inotify (IN_MODIFY)
      events.  The most interesting case is FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE because
      this value allows to create arbitrary file content from random data.
      
      This patch adds the missing call to fsnotify_modify().
      
      The FAN_MODIFY and IN_MODIFY event will be created when fallocate()
      succeeds.  It will even be created if the file length remains unchanged,
      e.g.  when calling fanotify with flag FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE.
      
      This logic was primarily chosen to keep the coding simple.
      
      It resembles the logic of the write() system call.
      
      When we call write() we always create a FAN_MODIFY event, even in the case
      of overwriting with identical data.
      
      Events FAN_MODIFY and IN_MODIFY do not provide any guarantee that data was
      actually changed.
      
      Furthermore even if if the filesize remains unchanged, fallocate() may
      influence whether a subsequent write() will succeed and hence the
      fallocate() call may be considered a modification.
      
      The fallocate(2) man page teaches: After a successful call, subsequent
      writes into the range specified by offset and len are guaranteed not to
      fail because of lack of disk space.
      
      So calling fallocate(fd, FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE, offset, len) may result in
      different outcomes of a subsequent write depending on the values of offset
      and len.

      mm/cma: make kmemleak ignore CMA regions · 620951e2
      Thierry Reding authored
      kmemleak will add allocations as objects to a pool.  The memory allocated
      for each object in this pool is periodically searched for pointers to
      other allocated objects.  This only works for memory that is mapped into
      the kernel's virtual address space, which happens not to be the case for
      most CMA regions.
      
      Furthermore, CMA regions are typically used to store data transferred to
      or from a device and therefore don't contain pointers to other objects.
      
      Without this, the kernel crashes on the first execution of the
      scan_gray_list() because it tries to access highmem.  Perhaps a more
      appropriate fix would be to reject any object that can't map to a kernel
      virtual address?

      slub: fix cpuset check in get_any_partial · dee2f8aa
      Vladimir Davydov authored
      If we fail to allocate from the current node's stock, we look for free
      objects on other nodes before calling the page allocator (see
      get_any_partial).  While checking other nodes we respect cpuset
      constraints by calling cpuset_zone_allowed.  We enforce hardwall check.
      As a result, we will fallback to the page allocator even if there are some
      pages cached on other nodes, but the current cpuset doesn't have them set.
       However, the page allocator uses softwall check for kernel allocations,
      so it may allocate from one of the other nodes in this case.
      
      Therefore we should use softwall cpuset check in get_any_partial to
      conform with the cpuset check in the page allocator.

      slab: fix cpuset check in fallback_alloc · 061d7074
      Vladimir Davydov authored
      fallback_alloc is called on kmalloc if the preferred node doesn't have
      free or partial slabs and there's no pages on the node's free list
      (GFP_THISNODE allocations fail).  Before invoking the reclaimer it tries
      to locate a free or partial slab on other allowed nodes' lists.  While
      iterating over the preferred node's zonelist it skips those zones which
      hardwall cpuset check returns false for.  That means that for a task bound
      to a specific node using cpusets fallback_alloc will always ignore free
      slabs on other nodes and go directly to the reclaimer, which, however, may
      allocate from other nodes if cpuset.mem_hardwall is unset (default).  As a
      result, we may get lists of free slabs grow without bounds on other nodes,
      which is bad, because inactive slabs are only evicted by cache_reap at a
      very slow rate and cannot be dropped forcefully.
      
      To reproduce the issue, run a process that will walk over a directory tree
      with lots of files inside a cpuset bound to a node that constantly
      experiences memory pressure.  Look at num_slabs vs active_slabs growth as
      reported by /proc/slabinfo.
      
      To avoid this we should use softwall cpuset check in fallback_alloc.

      ipc/shm.c: fix overly aggressive shmdt() when calls span multiple segments · d3c97900
      Dave Hansen authored
      This is a highly-contrived scenario.  But, a single shmdt() call can be
      induced in to unmapping memory from mulitple shm segments.  Example code
      is here:
      
      	http://www.sr71.net/~dave/intel/shmfun.c
      
      The fix is pretty simple: Record the 'struct file' for the first VMA we
      encounter and then stick to it.  Decline to unmap anything not from the
      same file and thus the same segment.
      
      I found this by inspection and the odds of anyone hitting this in practice
      are pretty darn small.
      
      Lightly tested, but it's a pretty small patch.

      ipc/msg: increase MSGMNI, remove scaling · 0050ee05
      Manfred Spraul authored
      SysV can be abused to allocate locked kernel memory.  For most systems, a
      small limit doesn't make sense, see the discussion with regards to SHMMAX.
      
      Therefore: increase MSGMNI to the maximum supported.
      
      And: If we ignore the risk of locking too much memory, then an automatic
      scaling of MSGMNI doesn't make sense.  Therefore the logic can be removed.
      
      The code preserves auto_msgmni to avoid breaking any user space applications
      that expect that the value exists.
      
      Notes:
      1) If an administrator must limit the memory allocations, then he can set
      MSGMNI as necessary.
      
      Or he can disable sysv entirely (as e.g. done by Android).
      
      2) MSGMAX and MSGMNB are intentionally not increased, as these values are used
      to control latency vs. throughput:
      If MSGMNB is large, then msgsnd() just returns and more messages can be queued
      before a task switch to a task that calls msgrcv() is forced.

      ipc/sem.c: increase SEMMSL, SEMMNI, SEMOPM · e843e7d2
      Manfred Spraul authored
      a)
      
      SysV can be abused to allocate locked kernel memory.  For most systems, a
      small limit doesn't make sense, see the discussion with regards to SHMMAX.
      
      Therefore: Increase the sysv sem limits so that all known applications
      will work with these defaults.
      
      b)
      
      With regards to the maximum supported:
      Some of the specified hard limits are not correct anymore, therefore the
      patch updates the documentation.
      
      - SEMMNI must stay below IPCMNI, which is 32768.
        As for SHMMAX: Stay a bit below this limit.
      
      - SEMMSL was limited to 8k, to ensure that the kmalloc for the kernel array
        was limited to 16 kB (order=2)
      
        This doesn't apply anymore:
         - the allocation size isn't sizeof(short)*nsems anymore.
         - ipc_alloc falls back to vmalloc
      
      - SEMOPM should stay below 1000, to limit the kmalloc in semtimedop() to an
        order=1 allocation.
        Therefore: Leave it at 500 (order=0 allocation).
      
      Note:
      If an administrator must limit the memory allocations, then he can set the
      values as necessary.
      
      Or he can disable sysv entirely (as e.g. done by Android).

      ipc/sem.c: change memory barrier in sem_lock() to smp_rmb() · 2e094abf
      Manfred Spraul authored
      When I fixed bugs in the sem_lock() logic, I was more conservative than
      necessary.  Therefore it is safe to replace the smp_mb() with smp_rmb().
      And: With smp_rmb(), semop() syscalls are up to 10% faster.
      
      The race we must protect against is:
      
      	sem->lock is free
      	sma->complex_count = 0
      	sma->sem_perm.lock held by thread B
      
      thread A:
      
      A: spin_lock(&sem->lock)
      
      			B: sma->complex_count++; (now 1)
      			B: spin_unlock(&sma->sem_perm.lock);
      
      A: spin_is_locked(&sma->sem_perm.lock);
      A: XXXXX memory barrier
      A: if (sma->complex_count == 0)
      
      Thread A must read the increased complex_count value, i.e. the read must
      not be reordered with the read of sem_perm.lock done by spin_is_locked().
      
      Since it's about ordering of reads, smp_rmb() is sufficient.

      lib/decompress.c: consistency of compress formats for kernel image · a060bfe0
      Haesung Kim authored
      Magic number of compress formats for kernel image is defined by two bytes.
       These numbers are written in hexadecimal number, nevertheless magic
      number for only gunzip is written in octal number.  The formats should be
      consistent for readability.  Therefore, magic numbers for gunzip are also
      defined by hexadecimal number.

      decompress_bunzip2: off by one in get_next_block() · b5c8afe5
      Dan Carpenter authored
      "origPtr" is used as an offset into the bd->dbuf[] array.  That array is
      allocated in start_bunzip() and has "bd->dbufSize" number of elements so
      the test here should be >= instead of >.
      
      Later we check "origPtr" again before using it as an offset so I don't
      know if this bug can be triggered in real life.
      
      Fixes: bc22c17e ('bzip2/lzma: library support for gzip, bzip2 and lzma decompression')

      usr/Kconfig: make initrd compression algorithm selection not expert · ec72c666
      Andi Kleen authored
      The kernel has support for (nearly) every compression algorithm known to
      man, each to handle some particular microscopic niche.
      
      Unfortunately all of these always get compiled in if you want to support
      INITRDs, and can be only disabled when CONFIG_EXPERT is set.
      
      I don't see why I need to set EXPERT just to properly configure the initrd
      compression algorithms, and not always include every possible algorithm
      
      Usually the initrd is just compressed with gzip anyways, at least that's
      true on all distributions I use.
      
      Remove the dependencies for initrd compression on CONFIG_EXPERT.
      
      Make the various options just default y, which should be good enough to
      not break any previous configuration.

      fault-inject: add ratelimit option · 6adc4a22
      Dmitry Monakhov authored
      Current debug levels are not optimal.  Especially if one want to provoke
      big numbers of faults(broken device simulator) then any verbose level will
      produce giant numbers of identical logging messages.  Let's add ratelimit
      parameter for that purpose.
