      Fix nasty 32-bit overflow bug in buffer i/o code. · f2d5a944
      Anton Altaparmakov authored 
      On 32-bit architectures, the legacy buffer_head functions are not always
handling the sector number with the proper 64-bit types, and will thus
fail on 4TB+ disks.

Any code that uses __getblk() (and thus bread(), breadahead(),
sb_bread(), sb_breadahead(), sb_getblk()), and calls it using a 64-bit
block on a 32-bit arch (where "long" is 32-bit) causes an inifinite loop
in __getblk_slow() with an infinite stream of errors logged to dmesg
like this:

  __find_get_block_slow() failed. block=6740375944, b_blocknr=2445408648
  b_state=0x00000020, b_size=512
  device sda1 blocksize: 512

Note how in hex block is 0x191C1F988 and b_blocknr is 0x91C1F988 i.e. the
top 32-bits are missing (in this case the 0x1 at the top).

This is because grow_dev_page() is broken and has a 32-bit overflow due
to shifting the page index value (a pgoff_t - which is just 32 bits on
32-bit architectures) left-shifted as the block number.  But the top
bits to get lost as the pgoff_t is not type cast to sector_t / 64-bit
before the shift.

This patch fixes this issue by type casting "index" to sector_t before
doing the left shift.

Note this is not a theoretical bug but has been seen in the field on a
4TiB hard drive with logical sector size 512 bytes.

This patch has been verified to fix the infinite loop problem on 3.17-rc5
kernel using a 4TB disk image mounted using "-o loop".  Without this patch
doing a "find /nt" where /nt is an NTFS volume causes the inifinite loop
100% reproducibly whilst with the patch it works fine as expected.

      Pull ARM fixes from Russell King:
 "Fixes for ARM, the most notable being the fix from Nathan Lynch to fix
  the state of various registers during execve, to ensure that data
  can't be leaked between two executables.

  Fixes from Victor Kamensky for get_user() on big endian platforms,
  since the addition of 8-byte get_user() support broke these fairly
  badly.

  A fix from Sudeep Holla for affinity setting when hotplugging CPU 0.

  A fix from Stephen Boyd for a perf-induced sleep attempt while atomic.

  Lastly, a correctness fix for emulation of the SWP instruction on
  ARMv7+, and a fix for wrong carry handling when updating the
  translation table base address on LPAE platforms"

  ARM: 8149/1: perf: Don't sleep while atomic when enabling per-cpu interrupts
  ARM: 8148/1: flush TLS and thumbee register state during exec
  ARM: 8151/1: add missing exports for asm functions required by get_user macro
  ARM: 8137/1: fix get_user BE behavior for target variable with size of 8 bytes
  ARM: 8135/1: Fix in-correct barrier usage in SWP{B} emulation
