commit 2d3862d26e67a59340ba1cf1748196c76c5787de upstream.

When loading x86 64bit kernel above 4GiB with patched grub2, got kernel
gunzip error.

| early console in decompress_kernel
| decompress_kernel:
|       input: [0x807f2143b4-0x807ff61aee]
|      output: [0x807cc00000-0x807f3ea29b] 0x027ea29c: output_len

|
| Decompressing Linux... gz...

| -- System halted

the new buffer is at 0x46fe000000ULL, decompressor_gzip is using
0xffffffb901ffffff as out_len.  gunzip in lib/zlib_inflate/inflate.c cap
that len to 0x01ffffff and decompress fails later.

We could hit this problem with crashkernel booting that uses kexec loading
kernel above 4GiB.

We have decompress_* support:
    1. inbuf[]/outbuf[] for kernel preboot.
    2. inbuf[]/flush() for initramfs
    3. fill()/flush() for initrd.
This bug only affect kernel preboot path that use outbuf[].

Add __decompress and take real out_buf_len for gunzip instead of guessing
wrong buf size.

Fixes: 1431574a1c4 (lib/decompressors: fix "no limit" output buffer length)

Commit 2ae416b142b6 ("mm: new mm hook framework") introduced an empty
header file (mm-arch-hooks.h) for every architecture, even those which
doesn't need to define mm hooks.

As suggested by Geert Uytterhoeven, this could be cleaned through the use
of a generic header file included via each per architecture
asm/include/Kbuild file.

The PowerPC architecture is not impacted here since this architecture has
to defined the arch_remap MM hook.

Pull module_init replacement part one from Paul Gortmaker:
 "Replace module_init with equivalent device_initcall in non modules.

  This series of commits converts non-modular code that is using the
  module_init() call to hook itself into the system to instead use
  device_initcall().

  The conversion is a runtime no-op, since module_init actually becomes
  __initcall in the non-modular case, and that in turn gets mapped onto
  device_initcall.  A couple files show a larger negative diffstat,
  representing ones that had a module_exit function that we remove here
  vs previously relying on the linker to dispose of it.

  We make this conversion now, so that we can relocate module_init from
  init.h into module.h in the future.

  The files changed here are just limited to those that would otherwise
  have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, in order to avoid
  a compile fail, as testing has shown"

Pull implicit module.h fixes from Paul Gortmaker:
 "Fix up implicit &lt;module.h&gt; users that will break later.

  The files changed here are simply modular source files that are
  implicitly relying on &lt;module.h&gt; being present.  We fix them up now,

  core init code in the future.

  The addition of the module.h include to several files here is also a
  no-op from a code generation point of view, else there would already
  be compile issues with these files today.

  There may be lots more implicit includes of &lt;module.h&gt; in tree, but
  these are the ones that extensive build test coverage has shown that
  must be fixed in order to avoid build breakage fallout for the pending

Pull asm/scatterlist.h removal from Jens Axboe:
 "We don't have any specific arch scatterlist anymore, since parisc
  finally switched over.  Kill the include"

* 'for-4.2/sg' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  remove scatterlist.h generation from arch Kbuild files
  remove &lt;asm/scatterlist.h&gt;

Currently we have many duplicates in definitions of
hugetlb_prefault_arch_hook.  In all architectures this function is empty.

<title>mm: new mm hook framework</title>

CRIU is recreating the process memory layout by remapping the checkpointee
memory area on top of the current process (criu).  This includes remapping
the vDSO to the place it has at checkpoint time.

However some architectures like powerpc are keeping a reference to the
vDSO base address to build the signal return stack frame by calling the
vDSO sigreturn service.  So once the vDSO has been moved, this reference
is no more valid and the signal frame built later are not usable.

This patch serie is introducing a new mm hook framework, and a new
arch_remap hook which is called when mremap is done and the mm lock still
hold.  The next patch is adding the vDSO remap and unmap tracking to the
powerpc architecture.

This patch (of 3):

This patch introduces a new set of header file to manage mm hooks:
- per architecture empty header file (arch/x/include/asm/mm-arch-hooks.h)
- a generic header (include/linux/mm-arch-hooks.h)

The architecture which need to overwrite a hook as to redefine it in its
header file, while architecture which doesn't need have nothing to do.

The default hooks are defined in the generic header and are used in the
case the architecture is not defining it.

In a next step, mm hooks defined in include/asm-generic/mm_hooks.h should
be moved here.

Currently we have many duplicates in definitions of huge_pmd_unshare.  In
all architectures this function just returns 0 when
CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_HUGE_PMD_SHARE is N.

This patch puts the default implementation in mm/hugetlb.c and lets these
architectures use the common code.
