commit 607065bad9931e72207b0cac365d7d4abc06bd99 upstream.

When using large tcp_rmem[2] values (I did tests with 500 MB),
I noticed overflows while computing rcvwin.

Lets fix this before the following patch.

[ Upstream commit 5d6ae4f0da8a64a185074dabb1b2f8c148efa741 ]

When handling an OS descriptor request, one of the first operations is
to zero out the request buffer using the wLength from the setup packet.
There is no bounds checking, so a wLength &gt; 4096 would clobber memory
adjacent to the request buffer. Fix this by taking the min of wLength
and the request buffer length prior to the memset. While at it, define
the buffer length in a header file so that magic numbers don't appear
throughout the code.

When returning data to the host, the data length should be the min of
the wLength and the valid data we have to return. Currently we are
returning wLength, thus requests for a wLength greater than the amount
of data in the OS descriptor buffer would return invalid (albeit zero'd)
data following the valid descriptor data. Fix this by counting the
number of bytes when constructing the data and using this when
determining the length of the request.

[ Upstream commit 328008a72d38b5bde6491e463405c34a81a65d3e ]

The declaration for swsusp_arch_resume marks it as 'asmlinkage', but the
definition in x86-32 does not, and it fails to include the header with the
declaration. This leads to a warning when building with
link-time-optimizations:

kernel/power/power.h:108:23: error: type of 'swsusp_arch_resume' does not match original declaration [-Werror=lto-type-mismatch]
 extern asmlinkage int swsusp_arch_resume(void);
                       ^
arch/x86/power/hibernate_32.c:148:0: note: 'swsusp_arch_resume' was previously declared here
 int swsusp_arch_resume(void)

This moves the declaration into a globally visible header file and fixes up
both x86 definitions to match it.

<title>do d_instantiate/unlock_new_inode combinations safely</title>

commit 1e2e547a93a00ebc21582c06ca3c6cfea2a309ee upstream.

For anything NFS-exported we do _not_ want to unlock new inode
before it has grown an alias; original set of fixes got the
ordering right, but missed the nasty complication in case of
lockdep being enabled - unlock_new_inode() does
	lockdep_annotate_inode_mutex_key(inode)
which can only be done before anyone gets a chance to touch
-&gt;i_mutex.  Unfortunately, flipping the order and doing
unlock_new_inode() before d_instantiate() opens a window when
mkdir can race with open-by-fhandle on a guessed fhandle, leading
to multiple aliases for a directory inode and all the breakage
that follows from that.

	Correct solution: a new primitive (d_instantiate_new())
combining these two in the right order - lockdep annotate, then
d_instantiate(), then the rest of unlock_new_inode().  All
combinations of d_instantiate() with unlock_new_inode() should
be converted to that.

<title>time: Fix CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW sub-nanosecond accounting</title>

commit 3d88d56c5873f6eebe23e05c3da701960146b801 upstream.

Due to how the MONOTONIC_RAW accumulation logic was handled,
there is the potential for a 1ns discontinuity when we do
accumulations. This small discontinuity has for the most part
gone un-noticed, but since ARM64 enabled CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
in their vDSO clock_gettime implementation, we've seen failures
with the inconsistency-check test in kselftest.

This patch addresses the issue by using the same sub-ns
accumulation handling that CLOCK_MONOTONIC uses, which avoids
the issue for in-kernel users.

Since the ARM64 vDSO implementation has its own clock_gettime
calculation logic, this patch reduces the frequency of errors,
but failures are still seen. The ARM64 vDSO will need to be
updated to include the sub-nanosecond xtime_nsec values in its
calculation for this issue to be completely fixed.

commit 0b3225ab9407f557a8e20f23f37aa7236c10a9b1 upstream.

Mixed mode allows a kernel built for x86_64 to interact with 32-bit
EFI firmware, but requires us to define all struct definitions carefully
when it comes to pointer sizes.

'struct efi_pci_io_protocol_32' currently uses a 'void *' for the
'romimage' field, which will be interpreted as a 64-bit field
on such kernels, potentially resulting in bogus memory references
and subsequent crashes.

commit c7be96af89d4b53211862d8599b2430e8900ed92 upstream.

When running certain database workload on a high-end system with many
CPUs, it was found that spinlock contention in the sigprocmask syscalls
became a significant portion of the overall CPU cycles as shown below.

               |          |          ktskRun

Looking further into the swapcontext function in glibc, it was found that
the function always call sigprocmask() without checking if there are
changes in the signal mask.

A check was added to the __set_current_blocked() function to avoid taking
the sighand-&gt;siglock spinlock if there is no change in the signal mask.
This will prevent unneeded spinlock contention when many threads are
trying to call sigprocmask().

With this patch applied, the spinlock contention in sigprocmask() was
gone.

commit 6510bbc88e3258631831ade49033537081950605 upstream.

Currently it is possible to read and/or write to suspend EB's.
Writing /dev/mtdX or /dev/mtdblockX from several processes may
break the flash state machine.

commit 903f9db10f18f735e62ba447147b6c434b6af003 upstream.

syzbot is reporting kernel panic [1] triggered by memory allocation failure
at tty_ldisc_get() from tty_ldisc_init(). But since both tty_ldisc_get()
and caller of tty_ldisc_init() can cleanly handle errors, tty_ldisc_init()
does not need to call panic() when tty_ldisc_get() failed.
