Pull ARM soc fixes from Olof Johansson:
 "A set of fixes and some minor cleanups for -rc2:

   - A series from Arnd that fixes warnings in drivers and other code
     included by ARM defconfigs.  Most have been acked by corresponding
     maintainers (and seem quite hard to argue not picking up anyway in
     the few exception cases).
   - A few misc patches from the list for integrator/vt8500/i.MX
   - A batch of fixes to OMAP platforms, fixing:
     - boot problems on beaglebone,
     - regression fixes for local timers
     - clockdomain locking fixes
     - a few boot/sparse warnings
   - For Tegra:
     - Clock rate calculation overflow fix
     - Revert a change that removed timer clocks and a fix for symbol
       name clashes
   - For Renesas:
     - IO accessor / annotation cleanups to remove warnings
   - For Kirkwood/Dove/mvebu:
     - Fixes for device trees for Dove (some minor cleanups, some fixes)
     - Fixes for the mvebu gpio driver
     - Fix build problem for Feroceon due to missing ifdefs
     - Fix lsxl DTS files"

mm: compaction: correct the nr_strict va isolated check for CMA

2012-10-19T21:07:47+00:00

Thierry reported that the "iron out" patch for isolate_freepages_block()
had problems due to the strict check being too strict with "mm:
compaction: Iron out isolate_freepages_block() and
isolate_freepages_range() -fix1".  It's possible that more pages than
necessary are isolated but the check still fails and I missed that this
fix was not picked up before RC1.  This same problem has been identified
in 3.7-RC1 by Tony Prisk and should be addressed by the following patch.

remap_file_pages: correctly handle the case of a NULL vm_ops pointer

2012-10-19T20:37:57+00:00

In commit 0b173bc4daa8 ("mm: kill vma flag VM_CAN_NONLINEAR") we
replaced the VM_CAN_NONLINEAR test with checking whether the mapping has
a '->remap_pages()' vm operation, but there is no guarantee that there
it even has a vm_ops pointer at all.

Add the appropriate test for NULL vm_ops.

mm, mempolicy: fix printing stack contents in numa_maps

2012-10-17T01:00:50+00:00

When reading /proc/pid/numa_maps, it's possible to return the contents of
the stack where the mempolicy string should be printed if the policy gets
freed from beneath us.

This happens because mpol_to_str() may return an error the
stack-allocated buffer is then printed without ever being stored.

There are two possible error conditions in mpol_to_str():

 - if the buffer allocated is insufficient for the string to be stored,
   and

 - if the mempolicy has an invalid mode.

The first error condition is not triggered in any of the callers to
mpol_to_str(): at least 50 bytes is always allocated on the stack and this
is sufficient for the string to be written.  A future patch should convert
this into BUILD_BUG_ON() since we know the maximum strlen possible, but
that's not -rc material.

The second error condition is possible if a race occurs in dropping a
reference to a task's mempolicy causing it to be freed during the read().
The slab poison value is then used for the mode and mpol_to_str() returns
-EINVAL.

This race is only possible because get_vma_policy() believes that
mm->mmap_sem protects task->mempolicy, which isn't true.  The exit path
does not hold mm->mmap_sem when dropping the reference or setting
task->mempolicy to NULL: it uses task_lock(task) instead.

Thus, it's required for the caller of a task mempolicy to hold
task_lock(task) while grabbing the mempolicy and reading it.  Callers with
a vma policy store their mempolicy earlier and can simply increment the
reference count so it's guaranteed not to be freed.

vfs: make path_openat take a struct filename pointer

2012-10-13T00:15:09+00:00

...and fix up the callers. For do_file_open_root, just declare a
struct filename on the stack and fill out the .name field. For
do_filp_open, make it also take a struct filename pointer, and fix up its
callers to call it appropriately.

For filp_open, add a variant that takes a struct filename pointer and turn
filp_open into a wrapper around it.

vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return it

2012-10-13T00:14:55+00:00

getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.

For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.

This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.

Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.
