      kernel/signal.c: use __ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER instead of SA_RESTORER · b6c424a7
      Andrew Morton authored 
      commit 522cff14 upstream.

__ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER is the preferred conditional for use in 3.9 and
later kernels, per Kees.

      signal: Define __ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER so we know whether to clear sa_restorer · b170d219
      Ben Hutchings authored 
      flush_signal_handlers() needs to know whether sigaction::sa_restorer
is defined, not whether SA_RESTORER is defined.  Define the
__ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER macro to indicate this.

Vaguely based on upstream commit 574c4866 'consolidate kernel-side
struct sigaction declarations'.

      efivars: pstore: Do not check size when erasing variable · 80a19deb
      Ben Hutchings authored 
      In 3.2, unlike mainline, efi_pstore_erase() calls efi_pstore_write()
with a size of 0, as the underlying EFI interface treats a size of 0
as meaning deletion.

This was not taken into account in my backport of commit d80a361d
'efi_pstore: Check remaining space with QueryVariableInfo() before
writing data'.  The size check should be omitted when erasing.

      KMS: fix EDID detailed timing frame rate · b5393b0f
      Torsten Duwe authored 
      commit c19b3b0f upstream.

When KMS has parsed an EDID "detailed timing", it leaves the frame rate
zeroed.  Consecutive (debug-) output of that mode thus yields 0 for
vsync.  This simple fix also speeds up future invocations of
drm_mode_vrefresh().

While it is debatable whether this qualifies as a -stable fix I'd apply
it for consistency's sake; drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes()
does the same thing already for all probed modes.

      KMS: fix EDID detailed timing vsync parsing · 1b5ee14a
      Torsten Duwe authored 
      commit 16dad1d7 upstream.

EDID spreads some values across multiple bytes; bit-fiddling is needed
to retrieve these.  The current code to parse "detailed timings" has a
cut&paste error that results in a vsync offset of at most 15 lines
instead of 63.

See

   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EDID

and in the "EDID Detailed Timing Descriptor" see bytes 10+11 show why
that needs to be a left shift.

      mm/hugetlb: fix total hugetlbfs pages count when using memory overcommit accouting · e58c0a52
      Wanpeng Li authored 
      commit d0028588 upstream.

hugetlb_total_pages is used for overcommit calculations but the current
implementation considers only the default hugetlb page size (which is
either the first defined hugepage size or the one specified by
default_hugepagesz kernel boot parameter).

If the system is configured for more than one hugepage size, which is
possible since commit a137e1cc ("hugetlbfs: per mount huge page
sizes") then the overcommit estimation done by __vm_enough_memory()
(resp.  shown by meminfo_proc_show) is not precise - there is an
impression of more available/allowed memory.  This can lead to an
unexpected ENOMEM/EFAULT resp.  SIGSEGV when memory is accounted.

Testcase:
  boot: hugepagesz=1G hugepages=1
  the default overcommit ratio is 50
  before patch:

    egrep 'CommitLimit' /proc/meminfo
    CommitLimit:     55434168 kB

  after patch:

    egrep 'CommitLimit' /proc/meminfo
    CommitLimit:     54909880 kB

      vfs,proc: guarantee unique inodes in /proc · 4c239ba6
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      commit 51f0885e upstream.

Dave Jones found another /proc issue with his Trinity tool: thanks to
the namespace model, we can have multiple /proc dentries that point to
the same inode, aliasing directories in /proc/<pid>/net/ for example.

This ends up being a total disaster, because it acts like hardlinked
directories, and causes locking problems.  We rely on the topological
sort of the inodes pointed to by dentries, and if we have aliased
directories, that odering becomes unreliable.

In short: don't do this.  Multiple dentries with the same (directory)
inode is just a bad idea, and the namespace code should never have
exposed things this way.  But we're kind of stuck with it.

This solves things by just always allocating a new inode during /proc
dentry lookup, instead of using "iget_locked()" to look up existing
inodes by superblock and number.  That actually simplies the code a bit,
at the cost of potentially doing more inode [de]allocations.

That said, the inode lookup wasn't free either (and did a lot of locking
of inodes), so it is probably not that noticeable.  We could easily keep
the old lookup model for non-directory entries, but rather than try to
be excessively clever this just implements the minimal and simplest
workaround for the problem.

if controller clock is enabled. System hangs if read/write happens
to registers without enabling clock.

clk_prepare_enable() can be fail due to unknown reason and hence
adding check for return value of this function. If this function
success then only access register otherwise return to caller with
error.

      cifs: ignore everything in SPNEGO blob after mechTypes · bbb8c223
      Jeff Layton authored 
      commit f853c616 upstream.

We've had several reports of people attempting to mount Windows 8 shares
and getting failures with a return code of -EINVAL. The default sec=
mode changed recently to sec=ntlmssp. With that, we expect and parse a
SPNEGO blob from the server in the NEGOTIATE reply.

The current decode_negTokenInit function first parses all of the
mechTypes and then tries to parse the rest of the negTokenInit reply.
The parser however currently expects a mechListMIC or nothing to follow the
mechTypes, but Windows 8 puts a mechToken field there instead to carry
some info for the new NegoEx stuff.

In practice, we don't do anything with the fields after the mechTypes
anyway so I don't see any real benefit in continuing to parse them.
This patch just has the kernel ignore the fields after the mechTypes.
We'll probably need to reinstate some of this if we ever want to support
NegoEx.

      efivars: Handle duplicate names from get_next_variable() · b1576b45
      Matt Fleming authored

Some firmware exhibits a bug where the same VariableName and
VendorGuid values are returned on multiple invocations of
GetNextVariableName(). See,

    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47631

As a consequence of such a bug, Andre reports hitting the following
WARN_ON() in the sysfs code after updating the BIOS on his, "Gigabyte

There's not much we can do to work around and keep traversing the
variable list once we hit this firmware bug. Our only solution is to
terminate the loop because, as Lingzhu reports, some machines get
stuck when they encounter duplicate names,

  > I had an IBM System x3100 M4 and x3850 X5 on which kernel would
  > get stuck in infinite loop creating duplicate sysfs files because,
  > for some reason, there are several duplicate boot entries in nvram
  > getting GetNextVariableName into a circle of iteration (with
  > period > 2).

Also disable the workqueue, as efivar_update_sysfs_entries() uses
GetNextVariableName() to figure out which variables have been created
since the last iteration. That algorithm isn't going to work if
GetNextVariableName() returns duplicates. Note that we don't disable
EFI variable creation completely on the affected machines, it's just
that any pstore dump-* files won't appear in sysfs until the next
boot.

      efivars: explicitly calculate length of VariableName · fe73a5eb
      Matt Fleming authored 
      commit ec50bd32 upstream.

It's not wise to assume VariableNameSize represents the length of
VariableName, as not all firmware updates VariableNameSize in the same
way (some don't update it at all if EFI_SUCCESS is returned). There
are even implementations out there that update VariableNameSize with
values that are both larger than the string returned in VariableName
and smaller than the buffer passed to GetNextVariableName(), which
resulted in the following bug report from Michael Schroeder,

  > On HP z220 system (firmware version 1.54), some EFI variables are
  > incorrectly named :
  >
  > ls -d /sys/firmware/efi/vars/*8be4d* | grep -v -- -8be returns
  > /sys/firmware/efi/vars/dbxDefault-pport8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c
  > /sys/firmware/efi/vars/KEKDefault-pport8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c
  > /sys/firmware/efi/vars/SecureBoot-pport8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c
  > /sys/firmware/efi/vars/SetupMode-Information8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c

The issue here is that because we blindly use VariableNameSize without
verifying its value, we can potentially read garbage values from the
buffer containing VariableName if VariableNameSize is larger than the
length of VariableName.

Since VariableName is a string, we can calculate its size by searching
for the terminating NULL character.

      efi_pstore: Introducing workqueue updating sysfs · adddb409
      Seiji Aguchi authored 
      commit a93bc0c6 upstream.

[Problem]
efi_pstore creates sysfs entries, which enable users to access to NVRAM,
in a write callback. If a kernel panic happens in an interrupt context,
it may fail because it could sleep due to dynamic memory allocations during
creating sysfs entries.

[Patch Description]
This patch removes sysfs operations from a write callback by introducing
a workqueue updating sysfs entries which is scheduled after the write
callback is called.

Also, the workqueue is kicked in a just oops case.
A system will go down in other cases such as panic, clean shutdown and emergency
restart. And we don't need to create sysfs entries because there is no chance for
users to access to them.

efi_pstore will be robust against a kernel panic in an interrupt context with this patch.
