commit 5189fa19a4b2b4c3bec37c3a019d446148827717 upstream.

There is only one error code to return for a bad user-space buffer
pointer passed to a system call in the same address space as the
system call is executed, and that is EFAULT.  Furthermore, the
low-level access routines, which catch most of the faults, return
EFAULT already.

commit c8e252586f8d5de906385d8cf6385fee289a825e upstream.

The regset common infrastructure assumed that regsets would always
have .get and .set methods, but not necessarily .active methods.
Unfortunately people have since written regsets without .set methods.

Rather than putting in stub functions everywhere, handle regsets with
null .get or .set methods explicitly.

commit 3c761ea05a8900a907f32b628611873f6bef24b2 upstream.

The autofs compat handling fix caused a compile failure when
CONFIG_COMPAT isn't defined.

Instead of adding random #ifdef'fery in autofs, let's just make the
compat helpers earlier to use: without CONFIG_COMPAT, is_compat_task()
just hardcodes to zero.

We could probably do something similar for a number of other cases where
we have #ifdef's in code, but this is the low-hanging fruit.

<title>epoll: limit paths</title>

commit 28d82dc1c4edbc352129f97f4ca22624d1fe61de upstream.

The current epoll code can be tickled to run basically indefinitely in
both loop detection path check (on ep_insert()), and in the wakeup paths.
The programs that tickle this behavior set up deeply linked networks of
epoll file descriptors that cause the epoll algorithms to traverse them
indefinitely.  A couple of these sample programs have been previously
posted in this thread: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/25/297.

To fix the loop detection path check algorithms, I simply keep track of
the epoll nodes that have been already visited.  Thus, the loop detection
becomes proportional to the number of epoll file descriptor and links.
This dramatically decreases the run-time of the loop check algorithm.  In
one diabolical case I tried it reduced the run-time from 15 mintues (all
in kernel time) to .3 seconds.

Fixing the wakeup paths could be done at wakeup time in a similar manner
by keeping track of nodes that have already been visited, but the
complexity is harder, since there can be multiple wakeups on different
cpus...Thus, I've opted to limit the number of possible wakeup paths when
the paths are created.

This is accomplished, by noting that the end file descriptor points that
are found during the loop detection pass (from the newly added link), are
actually the sources for wakeup events.  I keep a list of these file
descriptors and limit the number and length of these paths that emanate
from these 'source file descriptors'.  In the current implemetation I
allow 1000 paths of length 1, 500 of length 2, 100 of length 3, 50 of
length 4 and 10 of length 5.  Note that it is sufficient to check the
'source file descriptors' reachable from the newly added link, since no
other 'source file descriptors' will have newly added links.  This allows
us to check only the wakeup paths that may have gotten too long, and not
re-check all possible wakeup paths on the system.

In terms of the path limit selection, I think its first worth noting that
the most common case for epoll, is probably the model where you have 1
epoll file descriptor that is monitoring n number of 'source file
descriptors'.  In this case, each 'source file descriptor' has a 1 path of
length 1.  Thus, I believe that the limits I'm proposing are quite
reasonable and in fact may be too generous.  Thus, I'm hoping that the
proposed limits will not prevent any workloads that currently work to
fail.

In terms of locking, I have extended the use of the 'epmutex' to all
epoll_ctl add and remove operations.  Currently its only used in a subset
of the add paths.  I need to hold the epmutex, so that we can correctly
traverse a coherent graph, to check the number of paths.  I believe that
this additional locking is probably ok, since its in the setup/teardown
paths, and doesn't affect the running paths, but it certainly is going to
add some extra overhead.  Also, worth noting is that the epmuex was
recently added to the ep_ctl add operations in the initial path loop
detection code using the argument that it was not on a critical path.

Another thing to note here, is the length of epoll chains that is allowed.
Currently, eventpoll.c defines:

/* Maximum number of nesting allowed inside epoll sets */
#define EP_MAX_NESTS 4

This basically means that I am limited to a graph depth of 5 (EP_MAX_NESTS
+ 1).  However, this limit is currently only enforced during the loop
check detection code, and only when the epoll file descriptors are added
in a certain order.  Thus, this limit is currently easily bypassed.  The
newly added check for wakeup paths, stricly limits the wakeup paths to a
length of 5, regardless of the order in which ep's are linked together.
Thus, a side-effect of the new code is a more consistent enforcement of
the graph depth.

Thus far, I've tested this, using the sample programs previously
mentioned, which now either return quickly or return -EINVAL.  I've also
testing using the piptest.c epoll tester, which showed no difference in
performance.  I've also created a number of different epoll networks and
tested that they behave as expectded.

I believe this solves the original diabolical test cases, while still
preserving the sane epoll nesting.

<title>epoll: introduce POLLFREE to flush -&gt;signalfd_wqh before kfree()</title>

commit d80e731ecab420ddcb79ee9d0ac427acbc187b4b upstream.

This patch is intentionally incomplete to simplify the review.
It ignores ep_unregister_pollwait() which plays with the same wqh.
See the next change.

epoll assumes that the EPOLL_CTL_ADD'ed file controls everything
f_op-&gt;poll() needs. In particular it assumes that the wait queue
can't go away until eventpoll_release(). This is not true in case
of signalfd, the task which does EPOLL_CTL_ADD uses its -&gt;sighand
which is not connected to the file.

This patch adds the special event, POLLFREE, currently only for
epoll. It expects that init_poll_funcptr()'ed hook should do the
necessary cleanup. Perhaps it should be defined as EPOLLFREE in
eventpoll.

__cleanup_sighand() is changed to do wake_up_poll(POLLFREE) if
-&gt;signalfd_wqh is not empty, we add the new signalfd_cleanup()
helper.

ep_poll_callback(POLLFREE) simply does list_del_init(task_list).
This make this poll entry inconsistent, but we don't care. If you
share epoll fd which contains our sigfd with another process you
should blame yourself. signalfd is "really special". I simply do
not know how we can define the "right" semantics if it used with
epoll.

The main problem is, epoll calls signalfd_poll() once to establish
the connection with the wait queue, after that signalfd_poll(NULL)
returns the different/inconsistent results depending on who does
EPOLL_CTL_MOD/signalfd_read/etc. IOW: apart from sigmask, signalfd
has nothing to do with the file, it works with the current thread.

In short: this patch is the hack which tries to fix the symptoms.
It also assumes that nobody can take tasklist_lock under epoll
locks, this seems to be true.

Note:

	- we do not have wake_up_all_poll() but wake_up_poll()
	  is fine, poll/epoll doesn't use WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE.

	- signalfd_cleanup() uses POLLHUP along with POLLFREE,
	  we need a couple of simple changes in eventpoll.c to
	  make sure it can't be "lost".

<title>USB: Remove duplicate USB 3.0 hub feature #defines.</title>

commit d9f5343e35d9138432657202afa8e3ddb2ade360 upstream.

Somehow we ended up with duplicate hub feature #defines in ch11.h.
Tatyana Brokhman first created the USB 3.0 hub feature macros in 2.6.38
with commit 0eadcc09203349b11ca477ec367079b23d32ab91 "usb: USB3.0 ch11
definitions".  In 2.6.39, I modified a patch from John Youn that added
similar macros in a different place in the same file, and committed
dbe79bbe9dcb22cb3651c46f18943477141ca452 "USB 3.0 Hub Changes".

Some of the #defines used different names for the same values.  Others
used exactly the same names with the same values, like these gems:

 #define USB_PORT_FEAT_BH_PORT_RESET     28
...
 #define USB_PORT_FEAT_BH_PORT_RESET            28

According to my very geeky husband (who looked it up in the C99 spec),
it is allowed to have object-like macros with duplicate names as long as
the replacement list is exactly the same.  However, he recalled that
some compilers will give warnings when they find duplicate macros.  It's
probably best to remove the duplicates in the stable tree, so that the
code compiles for everyone.

The macros are now fixed to move the feature requests that are specific
to USB 3.0 hubs into a new section (out of the USB 2.0 hub feature
section), and use the most common macro name.

This patch should be backported to 2.6.39.

used exactly the same names with the same values, like these gems:

 #define USB_PORT_FEAT_BH_PORT_RESET     28
...
 #define USB_PORT_FEAT_BH_PORT_RESET            28

According to my very geeky husband (who looked it up in the C99 spec),
it is allowed to have object-like macros with duplicate names as long as
the replacement list is exactly the same.  However, he recalled that
some compilers will give warnings when they find duplicate macros.  It's
probably best to remove the duplicates in the stable tree, so that the
code compiles for everyone.

The macros are now fixed to move the feature requests that are specific
to USB 3.0 hubs into a new section (out of the USB 2.0 hub feature
section), and use the most common macro name.

This patch should be backported to 2.6.39.

commit 331818f1c468a24e581aedcbe52af799366a9dfe upstream.

Commit bf118a342f10dafe44b14451a1392c3254629a1f (NFSv4: include bitmap
in nfsv4 get acl data) introduces the 'acl_scratch' page for the case
where we may need to decode multi-page data. However it fails to take
into account the fact that the variable may be NULL (for the case where
we're not doing multi-page decode), and it also attaches it to the
encoding xdr_stream rather than the decoding one.

The immediate result is an Oops in nfs4_xdr_enc_getacl due to the
call to page_address() with a NULL page pointer.

<title>crypto: sha512 - use standard ror64()</title>

commit f2ea0f5f04c97b48c88edccba52b0682fbe45087 upstream.

Use standard ror64() instead of hand-written.
There is no standard ror64, so create it.

The difference is shift value being "unsigned int" instead of uint64_t
(for which there is no reason). gcc starts to emit native ROR instructions
which it doesn't do for some reason currently. This should make the code
faster.

Patch survives in-tree crypto test and ping flood with hmac(sha512) on.

commit f9c2a0dc42a6938ff2a80e55ca2bbd1d5581c72e upstream.

Current PIO mode makes a kernel crash with CONFIG_HIGHMEM.
Highmem pages have a NULL from sg_virt(sg).
This patch fixes the following problem.

commit 3310225dfc71a35a2cc9340c15c0e08b14b3c754 upstream.

PROP_MAX_SHIFT should be set to &lt;=32 on 64-bit box. This fixes two bugs
in the below lines of bdi_dirty_limit():

	bdi_dirty *= numerator;
	do_div(bdi_dirty, denominator);

1) divide error: do_div() only uses the lower 32 bit of the denominator,
   which may trimmed to be 0 when PROP_MAX_SHIFT &gt; 32.

2) overflow: (bdi_dirty * numerator) could easily overflow if numerator
   used up to 48 bits, leaving only 16 bits to bdi_dirty
