commit 2528a8b8f457d7432552d0e2b6f0f4046bb702f4 upstream.

bitmap_parselist("", &amp;mask, nmaskbits) will erroneously set bit zero in
the mask.  The same bug is visible in cpumask_parselist() since it is
layered on top of the bitmask code, e.g.  if you boot with "isolcpus=",
you will actually end up with cpu zero isolated.

The bug was introduced in commit 4b060420a596 ("bitmap, irq: add
smp_affinity_list interface to /proc/irq") when bitmap_parselist() was
generalized to support userspace as well as kernelspace.

commit ea5d05b34aca25c066e0699512d0ffbd8ee6ac3e upstream.

If __bitmap_shift_left() or __bitmap_shift_right() are asked to shift by
a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG, they will try to shift a long value by
BITS_PER_LONG bits which is undefined.  Change the functions to avoid
the undefined shift.

Pull cleanup of fs/ and lib/ users of module.h from Paul Gortmaker:
 "Fix up files in fs/ and lib/ dirs to only use module.h if they really
  need it.

  These are trivial in scope vs the work done previously.  We now have
  things where any few remaining cleanups can be farmed out to arch or
  subsystem maintainers, and I have done so when possible.  What is
  remaining here represents the bits that don't clearly lie within a
  single arch/subsystem boundary, like the fs dir and the lib dir.

  Some duplicate includes arising from overlapping fixes from
  independent subsystem maintainer submissions are also quashed."

Fix up trivial conflicts due to clashes with other include file cleanups
(including some due to the previous bug.h cleanup pull).

* tag 'module-for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux:
  lib: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible
  fs: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible
  includecheck: delete any duplicate instances of module.h

<title>lib/bitmap.c: quiet sparse noise about address space</title>

__bitmap_parse() and __bitmap_parselist() both take a pointer to a kernel
buffer as a parameter and then cast it to a pointer to user buffer for use
in cases when the parameter is_user indicates that the buffer is actually
located in user space.  This casting, and the casts in the callers,
results in sparse noise like the following:

	warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces)
	  expected char const [noderef] &lt;asn:1&gt;*ubuf
	  got char const *buf
	warning: cast removes address space of expression

Since these casts are intentional, use __force to quiet the noise.

<title>lib, Make gen_pool memory allocator lockless</title>

<content type='text'>
This version of the gen_pool memory allocator supports lockless
operation.

This makes it safe to use in NMI handlers and other special
unblockable contexts that could otherwise deadlock on locks.  This is
implemented by using atomic operations and retries on any conflicts.
The disadvantage is that there may be livelocks in extreme cases.  For
better scalability, one gen_pool allocator can be used for each CPU.

The lockless operation only works if there is enough memory available.
If new memory is added to the pool a lock has to be still taken.  So
any user relying on locklessness has to ensure that sufficient memory
is preallocated.

The basic atomic operation of this allocator is cmpxchg on long.  On
architectures that don't have NMI-safe cmpxchg implementation, the
allocator can NOT be used in NMI handler.  So code uses the allocator
in NMI handler should depend on CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG.
