It has been reported that running this driver on some Samsung laptops with EFI can cause those machines to become bricked as detailed in the following report, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557 There have also been reports of this driver causing Machine Check Exceptions on recent EFI-enabled Samsung laptops, https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121 So disable it if booting from EFI since this driver relies on grovelling around in the BIOS memory map which isn't going to work.

Originally 'efi_enabled' indicated whether a kernel was booted from EFI firmware. Over time its semantics have changed, and it now indicates whether or not we are booted on an EFI machine with bit-native firmware, e.g. 64-bit kernel with 64-bit firmware. The immediate motivation for this patch is the bug report at, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557 which details how running a platform driver on an EFI machine that is designed to run under BIOS can cause the machine to become bricked. Also, the following report, https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121 details how running said driver can also cause Machine Check Exceptions. Drivers need a new means of detecting whether they're running on an EFI machine, as sadly the expression, if (!efi_enabled) hasn't been a sufficient condition for quite some time. Users actually want to query 'efi_enabled' for different reasons - what they really want access to is the list of available EFI facilities. For instance, the x86 reboot code needs to know whether it can invoke the ResetSystem() function provided by the EFI runtime services, while the ACPI OSL code wants to know whether the EFI config tables were mapped successfully. There are also checks in some of the platform driver code to simply see if they're running on an EFI machine (which would make it a bad idea to do BIOS-y things). This patch is a prereq for the samsung-laptop fix patch.

At the moment the MSR driver only relies upon file system checks. This means that anything as root with any capability set can write to MSRs. Historically that wasn't very interesting but on modern processors the MSRs are such that writing to them provides several ways to execute arbitary code in kernel space. Sample code and documentation on doing this is circulating and MSR attacks are used on Windows 64bit rootkits already. In the Linux case you still need to be able to open the device file so the impact is fairly limited and reduces the security of some capability and security model based systems down towards that of a generic "root owns the box" setup. Therefore they should require CAP_SYS_RAWIO to prevent an elevation of capabilities. The impact of this is fairly minimal on most setups because they don't have heavy use of capabilities. Those using SELinux, SMACK or AppArmor rules might want to consider if their rulesets on the MSR driver could be tighter.

Patch 5a5a51db x86-32: Start out eflags and cr4 clean ... made x86-32 match x86-64 in that we initialize %eflags and %cr4 from scratch. This broke OLPC XO-1.5, because the XO enters the kernel with paging enabled, which the kernel doesn't expect. Since we no longer support 386 (the source of most of the variability in %cr0 configuration), we can simply match further x86-64 and initialize %cr0 to a fixed value -- the one variable part remaining in %cr0 is for FPU control, but all that is handled later on in initialization; in particular, configuring %cr0 as if the FPU is present until proven otherwise is correct and necessary for the probe to work. To deal with the XO case sanely, explicitly disable paging in %cr0 before we muck with %cr3, %cr4 or EFER -- those operations are inherently unsafe with paging enabled. NOTE: There is still a lot of 386-related junk in head_32.S which we can and should get rid of, however, this is intended as a minimal fix whereas the cleanup can be deferred to the next merge window.

Dave Jones hit this assert when doing a compile on recent git, with CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG enabled: XFS: Assertion failed: (char *)dup - (char *)hdr == be16_to_cpu(*xfs_dir2_data_unused_tag_p(dup)), file: fs/xfs/xfs_dir2_data.c, line: 828 Upon further digging, the tag found by xfs_dir2_data_unused_tag_p(dup) contained "2" and not the proper offset, and I found that this value was changed after the memmoves under "Use a stale leaf for our new entry." in xfs_dir2_block_addname(), i.e. memmove(&blp[mid + 1], &blp[mid], (highstale - mid) * sizeof(*blp)); overwrote it. What has happened is that the previous call to xfs_dir2_block_compact() has rearranged things; it changes btp->count as well as the blp array. So after we make that call, we must recalculate the proper pointer to the leaf entries by making another call to xfs_dir2_block_leaf_p(). Dave provided a metadump image which led to a simple reproducer (create a particular filename in the affected directory) and this resolves the testcase as well as the bug on his live system. Thanks also to dchinner for looking at this one with me.

Commits starting at 77c1a08f introduced a multiple segment support to xfs_buf. xfs_trans_buf_item_match() could not find a multi-segment buffer in the transaction because it was looking at the single segment block number rather than the multi-segment b_maps[0].bm.bn. This results on a recursive buffer lock that can never be satisfied.

In commit 281dc5c5 ("Give up on pushing CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE") we already changed the actual default value, but the help-text still suggested 'y'. Fix the help text too, for all the same reasons. Sadly, -Os keeps on generating some very suboptimal code for certain cases, to the point where any I$ miss upside is swamped by the downside. The main ones are: - using "rep movsb" for memcpy, even on CPU's where that is horrendously bad for performance. - not honoring branch prediction information, so any I$ footprint you win from smaller code, you lose from less code density in the I$. - using divide instructions when that is very expensive.

If the default iosched is built as module, the kernel may deadlock while trying to load the iosched module on device probe if the probing was running off async. This is because async_synchronize_full() at the end of module init ends up waiting for the async job which initiated the module loading. async A modprobe 1. finds a device 2. registers the block device 3. request_module(default iosched) 4. modprobe in userland 5. load and init module 6. async_synchronize_full() Async A waits for modprobe to finish in request_module() and modprobe waits for async A to finish in async_synchronize_full(). Because there's no easy to track dependency once control goes out to userland, implementing properly nested flushing is difficult. For now, make module init perform async_synchronize_full() iff module init has queued async jobs as suggested by Linus. This avoids the described deadlock because iosched module doesn't use async and thus wouldn't invoke async_synchronize_full(). This is hacky and incomplete. It will deadlock if async module loading nests; however, this works around the known problem case and seems to be the best of bad options.

cbc0dd1f "s390/pci: CHSC PCI support for error and availability events" introduced a new SEI notification type as part of pci support. The way SEI was called with nt2 and nt0 consecutive broke the nt0 stuff used for channel subsystem notifications. The reason why this was broken with the mentioned patch is that you cannot selectively disable type 0 notifications (so even when asked for type 2 only, type 0 could be presented). The way to do it is to tell SEI which types of notification you can process and -this is the important part- look at the SEI result which notification type you actually received.

Converting a 64 Bit TOD format value to nanoseconds means that the value must be divided by 4.096. In order to achieve that we multiply with 125 and divide by 512. When used within sched_clock() this triggers an overflow after appr. 417 days. Resulting in a sched_clock() return value that is much smaller than previously and therefore may cause all sort of weird things in subsystems that rely on a monotonic sched_clock() behaviour. To fix this implement a tod_to_ns() helper function which converts TOD values without overflow and call this function from both places that open coded the conversion: sched_clock() and kvm_s390_handle_wait().

But hdmi_chmap_ctl_put() returns -EBADFD when no PCM stream is assigned yet, and this results in an error message from alsactl. Although the error is harmless, it's certainly ugly and can be regarded as a regression. As a workaround, this patch changes the return code in such a case to be zero for making others happy. (A slight excuse is: when the chmap is changed through the proper alsa-lib API, the PCM status is checked there anyway, so we don't have to be too strict in the kernel side.)

We realized that the power usage field is never filled and when it is filled for tegra, the power_specified flag is not set causing all of these values to be reset when the driver is initialized with set_power_state(). However, the power_specified flag can be simply removed under the assumption that the states are always backward sorted, which is the case with the current code. This change allows the menu governor select function and the cpuidle_play_dead() to be simplified. Moreover, the set_power_states() function can removed as it does not make sense any more. Drop the power_specified flag from struct cpuidle_driver and make the related changes as described above. As a consequence, this also fixes the bug where on the dynamic C-states system, the power fields are not initialized.

Merge tag 'asoc-atmel-pinctrl' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound into for-linus ASoC: atmel: Fixes for pinctrl Due to a series of problems with the handling of Atmel, a combination of making changes that make other branches instantly buggy and a general failure to deal with the resulting issues effectively, v3.8 Atmel audio currently won't work at all for DT boards without adding pinctrl definitions and a request for those.
