The kdb code should not toggle the sysrq state in case an end user
wants to try and resume the normal kernel execution.

<id>f8324e20f8289dffc646d64366332e05eaacab25</id>
<content type='text'>
The kernel's math-emu code contains a macro _FP_FROM_INT() which is
used to convert an integer to a raw normalized floating-point value.
It does this basically in three steps:

1. Compute the exponent from the number of leading zero bits.
2. Downshift large fractions to put the MSB in the right position
   for normalized fractions.
3. Upshift small fractions to put the MSB in the right position.

There is an boundary error in step 2, causing a fraction with its
MSB exactly one bit above the normalized MSB position to not be
downshifted.  This results in a non-normalized raw float, which when
packed becomes a massively inaccurate representation for that input.

The impact of this depends on a number of arch-specific factors,
but it is known to have broken emulation of FXTOD instructions
on UltraSPARC III, which was originally reported as GCC bug 44631
&lt;http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44631&gt;.

Any arch which uses math-emu to emulate conversions from integers to
same-size floats may be affected.

The fix is simple: the exponent comparison used to determine if the
fraction should be downshifted must be "&lt;=" not "&lt;".

I'm sending a kernel module to test this as a reply to this message.
There are also SPARC user-space test cases in the GCC bug entry.

<content type='text'>
If a single-threaded process does a file-descriptor operation, and some
other process accesses that same file descriptor via /proc, the current
rcu_dereference_check_fdtable() can give a false-positive RCU-lockdep
splat due to the reference count being increased by the /proc access after
the reference-count check in fget_light() but before the check in
rcu_dereference_check_fdtable().

This commit prevents this false positive by checking for a single-threaded
process.  To avoid #include hell, this commit uses the wrapper for
thread_group_empty(current) defined by rcu_my_thread_group_empty()
provided in a separate commit.

The current shrinker implementation requires the registered callback
to have global state to work from. This makes it difficult to shrink
caches that are not global (e.g. per-filesystem caches). Pass the shrinker
structure to the callback so that users can embed the shrinker structure
in the context the shrinker needs to operate on and get back to it in the
callback via container_of().
