If a seccomp filter program is installed, older static binaries and
distributions with older libc implementations (glibc 2.13 and earlier)
that rely on vsyscall use will be terminated regardless of the filter
program policy when executing time, gettimeofday, or getcpu.  This is
only the case when vsyscall emulation is in use (vsyscall=emulate is the
default).

This patch emulates system call entry inside a vsyscall=emulate by
populating regs->ax and regs->orig_ax with the system call number prior
to calling into seccomp such that all seccomp-dependencies function
normally.  Additionally, system call return behavior is emulated in line
with other vsyscall entrypoints for the trace/trap cases.

Commit 080399aa ("block: don't mark buffers beyond end of disk as
mapped") exposed a bug in __getblk_slow that causes mount to hang as it
loops infinitely waiting for a buffer that lies beyond the end of the
disk to become uptodate.

The problem was initially reported by Torsten Hilbrich here:

    https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/18/54

and also reported independently here:

    http://www.sysresccd.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4511

and then Richard W.M.  Jones and Marcos Mello noted a few separate
bugzillas also associated with the same issue.  This patch has been
confirmed to fix:

    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=835019

The main problem is here, in __getblk_slow:

        for (;;) {
                struct buffer_head * bh;
                int ret;

                bh = __find_get_block(bdev, block, size);
                if (bh)
                        return bh;

                ret = grow_buffers(bdev, block, size);
                if (ret < 0)
                        return NULL;
                if (ret == 0)
                        free_more_memory();
        }

__find_get_block does not find the block, since it will not be marked as
mapped, and so grow_buffers is called to fill in the buffers for the
associated page.  I believe the for (;;) loop is there primarily to
retry in the case of memory pressure keeping grow_buffers from
succeeding.  However, we also continue to loop for other cases, like the
block lying beond the end of the disk.  So, the fix I came up with is to
only loop when grow_buffers fails due to memory allocation issues
(return value of 0).

The attached patch was tested by myself, Torsten, and Rich, and was
found to resolve the problem in call cases.

The rework of the snd-usb endpoint logic moved the calls to
snd_usb_set_interface() into the snd_usb_endpoint implemenation. This
changed the order in which these calls are issued to the device, and
thereby caused regressions for some webcams.

Fix this by moving the calls back to pcm.c for now to make it work again
and use snd_usb_endpoint_activate() to really tear down all remaining
URBs in the flight, consequently fixing another regression caused by USB
packets on the wire after altsetting 0 has been selected.

On 3.0.X it got introduced via 3.0.18.

Such platforms may be rare, but do exist.

Commit ca1d72f0 ('PM / Domains: Make it possible to add devices to

platform core to notify power domain core that the specified device must
be restored (with its runtime_resume() callback) before first use.

This patch adds the pm_genpd_dev_need_restore() call what brings back
the suspend/resume behaviour for the client devices known from the
previous power domain driver (removed by commit 91cfbd4e - 'ARM:
EXYNOS: Hook up power domains to generic power domain infrastructure').
Client device drivers relay on that suspend/resume behaviour, thus this

After commit f5bf18fa ("bootmem/sparsemem: remove limit constraint
in alloc_bootmem_section"), usemap allocations may easily be placed
outside the optimal section that holds the node descriptor, even if
there is space available in that section.  This results in unnecessary
hotplug dependencies that need to have the node unplugged before the
section holding the usemap.

The reason is that the bootmem allocator doesn't guarantee a linear
search starting from the passed allocation goal but may start out at a
much higher address absent an upper limit.

Fix this by trying the allocation with the limit at the section end,
then retry without if that fails.  This keeps the fix from f5bf18fa
of not panicking if the allocation does not fit in the section, but
still makes sure to try to stay within the section at first.
