kernel/signal.c: use __ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER instead of SA_RESTORER

2013-03-27T02:41:25+00:00

commit 522cff142d7d2f9230839c9e1f21a4d8bcc22a4a 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

2013-03-27T02:41:25+00:00

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 574c4866e33d 'consolidate kernel-side
struct sigaction declarations'.

efivars: pstore: Do not check size when erasing variable

2013-03-27T02:41:24+00:00

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 d80a361d779a
'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

2013-03-27T02:41:24+00:00

commit c19b3b0f6eed552952845e4ad908dba2113d67b4 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

2013-03-27T02:41:24+00:00

commit 16dad1d743d31a104a849c8944e6b9eb479f6cd7 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

2013-03-27T02:41:23+00:00

commit d00285884c0892bb1310df96bce6056e9ce9b9d9 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 a137e1cc6d6e ("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

2013-03-27T02:41:23+00:00

commit 51f0885e5415b4cc6535e9cdcc5145bfbc134353 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//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.

i2c: tegra: check the clk_prepare_enable() return value

2013-03-27T02:41:23+00:00

commit 132c803f7b70b17322579f6f4f3f65cf68e55135 upstream.

NVIDIA's Tegra SoC allows read/write of controller register only
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.

USB: serial: fix interface refcounting

2013-03-27T02:41:22+00:00

commit d7971051e4df825e0bc11b995e87bfe86355b8e5 upstream.

Make sure the interface is not released before our serial device.

Note that drivers are still not allowed to access the interface in
any way that may interfere with another driver that may have gotten
bound to the same interface after disconnect returns.
