<title>hotplug: Make register and unregister notifier API symmetric</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 777c6e0daebb3fcefbbd6f620410a946b07ef6d0 upstream.

Yu Zhao has noticed that __unregister_cpu_notifier only unregisters its
notifiers when HOTPLUG_CPU=y while the registration might succeed even
when HOTPLUG_CPU=n if MODULE is enabled. This means that e.g. zswap
might keep a stale notifier on the list on the manual clean up during
the pool tear down and thus corrupt the list. Resulting in the following

[  144.964346] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff880658a2be78

Fix this issue by making unregister APIs symmetric to the register so
there are no surprises.

commit c2d0f48a13e53b4747704c9e692f5e765e52041a upstream.

batadv_tt_prepare_tvlv_local_data can fail to allocate the memory for the
new TVLV block. The caller is informed about this problem with the returned
length of 0. Not checking this value results in an invalid memory access
when either tt_data or tt_change is accessed.

<content type='text'>
commit 7e251bb21ae08ca2e4fb28cc0981fac2685a8efa upstream.

The current ndelay() macro definition has an extra semi-colon at the
end of the line thus leading to a compilation error when ndelay is used
in a conditional block without curly braces like this one:

	if (cond)
		ndelay(t);
	else
		...

which, after the preprocessor pass gives:

	if (cond)
		m68k_ndelay(t);;
	else
		...

thus leading to the following gcc error:

	error: 'else' without a previous 'if'

Remove this extra semi-colon.

futex.h's futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() does not use the
__futex_atomic_op() macro and needs its own PAN toggling. This was missed
when the feature was implemented.

commit 332b05ca7a438f857c61a3c21a88489a21532364 upstream.

This patch adds a check to limit the number of can_filters that can be
set via setsockopt on CAN_RAW sockets. Otherwise allocations &gt; MAX_ORDER
are not prevented resulting in a warning.

commit 48a992727d82cb7db076fa15d372178743b1f4cd upstream.

Algorithms not compatible with mcryptd could be spawned by mcryptd
with a direct crypto_alloc_tfm invocation using a "mcryptd(alg)" name
construct.  This causes mcryptd to crash the kernel if an arbitrary
"alg" is incompatible and not intended to be used with mcryptd.  It is
an issue if AF_ALG tries to spawn mcryptd(alg) to expose it externally.
But such algorithms must be used internally and not be exposed.

We added a check to enforce that only internal algorithms are allowed
with mcryptd at the time mcryptd is spawning an algorithm.

commit 7f612a7f0bc13a2361a152862435b7941156b6af upstream.

Lukasz reported that perf stat counters overflow handling is broken on KNL/SLM.

Both these parts have full_width_write set, and that does indeed have
a problem. In order to deal with counter wrap, we must sample the
counter at at least half the counter period (see also the sampling
theorem) such that we can unambiguously reconstruct the count.

However commit:

  069e0c3c4058 ("perf/x86/intel: Support full width counting")

sets the sampling interval to the full period, not half.

Fixing that exposes another issue, in that we must not sign extend the
delta value when we shift it right; the counter cannot have
decremented after all.

With both these issues fixed, counter overflow functions correctly
again.
