commit fd8fbfc1709822bd94247c5b2ab15a5f5041e103 upstream.
Currently inode_reservation is managed by fs itself and this
reservation is transfered on dquot_transfer(). This means what
inode_reservation must always be in sync with
dquot->dq_dqb.dqb_rsvspace. Otherwise dquot_transfer() will result
in incorrect quota(WARN_ON in dquot_claim_reserved_space() will be
triggered)
This is not easy because of complex locking order issues
for example http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14739
The patch introduce quota reservation field for each fs-inode
(fs specific inode is used in order to prevent bloating generic
vfs inode). This reservation is managed by quota code internally
similar to i_blocks/i_bytes and may not be always in sync with
internal fs reservation.
Also perform some code rearrangement:
- Unify dquot_reserve_space() and dquot_reserve_space()
- Unify dquot_release_reserved_space() and dquot_free_space()
- Also this patch add missing warning update to release_rsv()
dquot_release_reserved_space() must call flush_warnings() as
dquot_free_space() does.

commit a0bb108112a872c0b0c4b3ef4974f95fb75b155d upstream.
This patch (as1311) fixes a problem in usb-storage: Some devices are
pretty broken when it comes to reporting sense data. The information
they send back indicates that they have more than 18 bytes of sense
data available, but when the system asks for more than 18 they fail or
hang. The symptom is that probing fails with multiple resets.
The patch adds a new BAD_SENSE flag to indicate that usb-storage
should never ask for more than 18 bytes of sense data. The flag can
be set in an unusual_devs entry or via the "quirks=" module parameter,
and it is set automatically whenever a REQUEST SENSE command for more
than 18 bytes fails or times out.
An unusual_devs entry is added for the Agfa photo frame, which uses a
Prolific chip having this bug.

commit 8629ea2eaba8ca0de2e38ce1b4a825e16255976e upstream.
commit 507e1231 (timer stats: Optimize by adding quick check to avoid
function calls) introduced a regression in /proc/timer_list.
/proc/timer_list shows now
#0: <c27d46b0>, tick_sched_timer, S:01, <(null)>, /-1
instead of
#0: <c27d46b0>, tick_sched_timer, S:01, hrtimer_start, swapper/0
Revert the hrtimer quick check for now. The optimization needs more
thought, but this is neither 2.6.32-rc7 nor stable material.

commit 2a855dd01bc1539111adb7233f587c5c468732ac upstream.
All architectures in the kernel increment/decrement the stack pointer
before storing values on the stack.
On architectures which have the stack grow down sas_ss_sp == sp is not
on the alternate signal stack while sas_ss_sp + sas_ss_size == sp is
on the alternate signal stack.
On architectures which have the stack grow up sas_ss_sp == sp is on
the alternate signal stack while sas_ss_sp + sas_ss_size == sp is not
on the alternate signal stack.
The current implementation fails for architectures which have the
stack grow down on the corner case where sas_ss_sp == sp.This was
reported as Debian bug #544905 on AMD64.
Simplified test case: http://download.breakpoint.cc/tc-sig-stack.c
The test case creates the following stack scenario:
0xn0300 stack top
0xn0200 alt stack pointer top (when switching to alt stack)
0xn01ff alt stack end
0xn0100 alt stack start == stack pointer
If the signal is sent the stack pointer is pointing to the base
address of the alt stack and the kernel erroneously decides that it
has already switched to the alternate stack because of the current
check for "sp - sas_ss_sp < sas_ss_size"
On parisc (stack grows up) the scenario would be:
0xn0200 stack pointer
0xn01ff alt stack end
0xn0100 alt stack start = alt stack pointer base
(when switching to alt stack)
0xn0000 stack base
This is handled correctly by the current implementation.
[ tglx: Modified for archs which have the stack grow up (parisc) which
would fail with the correct implementation for stack grows
down. Added a check for sp >= current->sas_ss_sp which is
strictly not necessary but makes the code symetric for both
variants ]

commit cede3930f0ca6fef353fa01306c72a01420bd45e upstream.
A misconfiguration by the firmware of the U4 PCIe bridge on PowerMac G5
with the U4 bridge (latest generations, may also affect the iMac G5
"iSight") is causing us to re-assign the PCI BARs of the video card,
which can get it out of sync with the firmware, thus breaking offb.
This works around it by fixing up the bridge configuration properly
at boot time. It also fixes a bug where the firmware provides us with
an incorrect set of accessible regions in the device-tree.

commit 65afac7d80ab3bc9f81e75eafb71eeb92a3ebdef upstream.
e180a6b7759a "param: fix charp parameters set via sysfs" fixed the case
where charp parameters written via sysfs were freed, leaving drivers
accessing random memory.
Unfortunately, storing a flag in the kparam struct was a bad idea: it's
rodata so setting it causes an oops on some archs. But that's not all:
1) module_param_array() on charp doesn't work reliably, since we use an
uninitialized temporary struct kernel_param.
2) there's a fundamental race if a module uses this parameter and then
it's changed: they will still access the old, freed, memory.
The simplest fix (ie. for 2.6.32) is to never free the memory. This
prevents all these problems, at cost of a memory leak. In practice, there
are only 18 places where a charp is writable via sysfs, and all are
root-only writable.

commit a4720c650b68a5fe7faed2edeb0ad12645f7ae63 upstream.
This patch (as1295) fixes a recently-added bug in the USB serial core.
If certain kinds of errors occur during probing, the core may call a
serial driver's release method without previously calling the attach
method. This causes some drivers (io_ti in particular) to perform an
invalid memory access.
The patch adds a new flag to keep track of whether or not attach has
been called.

[ Upstream commit ec4756238239f1a331d9fb95bad8b281dad56855 ]
Usbnet framework assumes USB hardware doesn't handle zero length
packets, but SMSC LAN95xx requires these to be sent for correct
operation.
This patch fixes an easily reproducible tx lockup when sending a frame
that results in exactly 512 bytes in a USB transmission (e.g. a UDP
frame with 458 data bytes, due to IP headers and our USB headers). It
adds an extra flag to usbnet for the hardware driver to indicate that
it can handle and requires the zero length packets.
This patch should not affect other usbnet users, please also consider
for -stable.

commit 07708c4af1346ab1521b26a202f438366b7bcffd upstream.
So far unprivileged guest callers running in ring 3 can issue, e.g., MMU
hypercalls. Normally, such callers cannot provide any hand-crafted MMU
command structure as it has to be passed by its physical address, but
they can still crash the guest kernel by passing random addresses.
To close the hole, this patch considers hypercalls valid only if issued
from guest ring 0. This may still be relaxed on a per-hypercall base in
the future once required.

Tom Horsley reports that his debugger hangs when it tries to read
/proc/pid_of_tracee/maps, this happens since
"mm_for_maps: take ->cred_guard_mutex to fix the race with exec"
04b836cbf19e885f8366bccb2e4b0474346c02d
commit in 2.6.31.
But the root of the problem lies in the fact that do_execve() path calls
tracehook_report_exec() which can stop if the tracer sets PT_TRACE_EXEC.
The tracee must not sleep in TASK_TRACED holding this mutex. Even if we
remove ->cred_guard_mutex from mm_for_maps() and proc_pid_attr_write(),
another task doing PTRACE_ATTACH should not hang until it is killed or the
tracee resumes.
With this patch do_execve() does not use ->cred_guard_mutex directly and
we do not hold it throughout, instead:
- introduce prepare_bprm_creds() helper, it locks the mutex
and calls prepare_exec_creds() to initialize bprm->cred.
- install_exec_creds() drops the mutex after commit_creds(),
and thus before tracehook_report_exec()->ptrace_stop().
or, if exec fails,
free_bprm() drops this mutex when bprm->cred != NULL which
indicates install_exec_creds() was not called.

cancel_delayed_work() has to use del_timer_sync() to guarantee the timer
function is not running after return. But most users doesn't actually
need this, and del_timer_sync() has problems: it is not useable from
interrupt, and it depends on every lock which could be taken from irq.
Introduce __cancel_delayed_work() which calls del_timer() instead.
The immediate reason for this patch is
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13757
but hopefully this helper makes sense anyway.
As for 13757 bug, actually we need requeue_delayed_work(), but its
semantics are not yet clear.

Device-mapper userspace logs (like the clustered log) are
identified by a universally unique identifier (UUID). This
identifier is used to associate requests from the kernel to
a specific log in userspace. The UUID must be unique everywhere,
since multiple machines may use this identifier when communicating
about a particular log, as is the case for cluster logs.
Sometimes, device-mapper/LVM may re-use a UUID. This is the
case during pvmoves, when moving from one segment of an LV
to another, or when resizing a mirror, etc. In these cases,
a new log is created with the same UUID and loaded in the
"inactive" slot. When a device-mapper "resume" is issued,
the "live" table is deactivated and the new "inactive" table
becomes "live". (The "inactive" table can also be removed
via a device-mapper 'clear' command.)
The above two issues were colliding. More than one log was being
created with the same UUID, and there was no way to distinguish
between them. So, sometimes the wrong log would be swapped
out during the exchange.
The solution is to create a locally unique identifier,
'luid', to go along with the UUID. This new identifier is used
to determine exactly which log is being referenced by the kernel
when the log exchange is made. The identifier is not
universally safe, but it does not need to be, since
create/destroy/suspend/resume operations are bound to a specific
machine; and these are the operations that make up the exchange.

It's problematic to allow signed element_nr's or total's to be passed as
part of the flex array API.
flex_array_alloc() allows total_nr_elements to be set to a negative
quantity, which is obviously erroneous.
flex_array_get() and flex_array_put() allows negative array indices in
dereferencing an array part, which could address memory mapped before
struct flex_array.
The fix is to convert all existing element_nr formals to be qualified as
unsigned. Existing checks to compare it to total_nr_elements or the max
array size based on element_size need not be changed.

2.6.30's commit 8a0bdec194c21c8fdef840989d0d7b742bb5d4bc removed
user_shm_lock() calls in hugetlb_file_setup() but left the
user_shm_unlock call in shm_destroy().
In detail:
Assume that can_do_hugetlb_shm() returns true and hence user_shm_lock()
is not called in hugetlb_file_setup(). However, user_shm_unlock() is
called in any case in shm_destroy() and in the following
atomic_dec_and_lock(&up->__count) in free_uid() is executed and if
up->__count gets zero, also cleanup_user_struct() is scheduled.
Note that sched_destroy_user() is empty if CONFIG_USER_SCHED is not set.
However, the ref counter up->__count gets unexpectedly non-positive and
the corresponding structs are freed even though there are live
references to them, resulting in a kernel oops after a lots of
shmget(SHM_HUGETLB)/shmctl(IPC_RMID) cycles and CONFIG_USER_SCHED set.
Hugh changed Stefan's suggested patch: can_do_hugetlb_shm() at the
time of shm_destroy() may give a different answer from at the time
of hugetlb_file_setup(). And fixed newseg()'s no_id error path,
which has missed user_shm_unlock() ever since it came in 2.6.9.

When 'and'ing two bitmasks (where 'andnot' is a variation on it), some
cases want to know whether the result is the empty set or not. In
particular, the TLB IPI sending code wants to do cpumask operations and
determine if there are any CPU's left in the final set.
So this just makes the bitmask (and cpumask) functions return a boolean
for whether the result has any bits set.

However Paul Menage reported the commit makes regression to his job

Why? His program has the code of similar to the following.

if (vfork() == 0) {
set_oom_adj(0); /* Invoked child can be killed */

}
....
vfork() parent and child are shared the same mm_struct. then above
set_oom_adj(0) doesn't only change oom_adj for vfork() child, it's also
change oom_adj for vfork() parent. Then, vfork() parent (job scheduler)
lost OOM immune and it was killed.
Actually, fork-setting-exec idiom is very frequently used in userland program.
We must not break this assumption.
Then, this patch revert commit 2ff05b2b and related commit.

In 5e140dfc1fe87eae27846f193086724806b33c7d "net: reorder struct Qdisc
for better SMP performance" the definition of struct gnet_stats_basic
changed incompatibly, as copies of this struct are shipped to
userland via netlink.
Restoring old behavior is not welcome, for performance reason.
Fix is to use a private structure for kernel, and
teach gnet_stats_copy_basic() to convert from kernel to user land,
using legacy structure (struct gnet_stats_basic)
Based on a report and initial patch from Michael Spang.

Currently SELinux enforcement of controls on the ability to map low memory
is determined by the mmap_min_addr tunable. This patch causes SELinux to
ignore the tunable and instead use a seperate Kconfig option specific to how
much space the LSM should protect.
The tunable will now only control the need for CAP_SYS_RAWIO and SELinux
permissions will always protect the amount of low memory designated by
CONFIG_LSM_MMAP_MIN_ADDR.
This allows users who need to disable the mmap_min_addr controls (usual reason
being they run WINE as a non-root user) to do so and still have SELinux
controls preventing confined domains (like a web server) from being able to
map some area of low memory.

Currently we duplicate the mmap_min_addr test in cap_file_mmap and in

into commoncap.c and then calls that function directly from

checks are done.

We can't call nfs_readdata_release()/nfs_writedata_release() without
first initialising and referencing args.context. Doing so inside
nfs_direct_read_schedule_segment()/nfs_direct_write_schedule_segment()
causes an Oops.
We should rather be calling nfs_readdata_free()/nfs_writedata_free() in
those cases.
Looking at the O_DIRECT code, the "struct nfs_direct_req" is already
referencing the nfs_open_context for us. Since the readdata and writedata
structures carry a reference to that, we can simplify things by getting rid
of the extra nfs_open_context references, so that we can replace all
instances of nfs_readdata_release()/nfs_writedata_release().

Based on Peter's comments, make tracepoint sampling generic
just like all the other sampling bits are. This is a rename
with no code changes:
- PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD to PERF_SAMPLE_RAW
- struct perf_tracepoint_record to perf_raw_record
We want the system in place that transport tracepoints raw
samples events into the perf ring buffer to be generalized and
usable by any type of counter.

This patch implements the kernel side support for ftrace event
record sampling.
A new counter sampling attribute is added:
PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD
which requests ftrace events record sampling. In this case
if a PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT counter is active and a tracepoint
fires, we emit the tracepoint binary record to the
perfcounter event buffer, as a sample.
Result, after setting PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD attribute from perf
record:
perf record -f -F 1 -a -e workqueue:workqueue_execution
perf report -D
0x21e18 [0x48]: event: 9
.
. ... raw event: size 72 bytes
. 0000: 09 00 00 00 01 00 48 00 d0 c7 00 81 ff ff ff ff ......H........

.
0x21e18 [0x48]: PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE (IP, 1): 10: 0xffffffff8100c7d0 period: 33
The raw ftrace binary record starts at offset 0020.
Translation:
struct trace_entry {
type = 0x2b = 43;
flags = 1;
preempt_count = 2;
pid = 0xa = 10;
tgid = 0xa = 10;
}
thread_comm = "events/1"
thread_pid = 0xa = 10;
func = 0xffffffff8131b1e0 = flush_to_ldisc()
What will come next?
- Userspace support ('perf trace'), 'flight data recorder' mode
for perf trace, etc.
- The unconditional copy from the profiling callback brings
some costs however if someone wants no such sampling to
occur, and needs to be fixed in the future. For that we need
to have an instant access to the perf counter attribute.
This is a matter of a flag to add in the struct ftrace_event.
- Take care of the events recursivity! Don't ever try to record
a lock event for example, it seems some locking is used in
the profiling fast path and lead to a tracing recursivity.
That will be fixed using raw spinlock or recursivity
protection.
- [...]
- Profit! :-)
