      Pull x86 linker bug workarounds from Peter Anvin.
      
      GNU ld-2.22.52.0.[12] (*) has an unfortunate bug where it incorrectly
      turns certain relocation entries absolute.  Section-relative symbols
      that are part of otherwise empty sections are silently changed them to
      absolute.  We rely on section-relative symbols staying section-relative,
      and actually have several sections in the linker script solely for this
      purpose.
      
      See for example
      
         http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14052
      
      We could just black-list the buggy linker, but it appears that it got
      shipped in at least F17, and possibly other distros too, so it's sadly
      not some rare unusual case.
      
      This backports the workaround from the x86/trampoline branch, and as
      Peter says: "This is not a minimal fix, not at all, but it is a tested
      code base."

      memcg,thp: fix res_counter:96 regression · 62ade86a
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Occasionally, testing memcg's move_charge_at_immigrate on rc7 shows
      a flurry of hundreds of warnings at kernel/res_counter.c:96, where
      res_counter_uncharge_locked() does WARN_ON(counter->usage < val).
      
      The first trace of each flurry implicates __mem_cgroup_cancel_charge()
      of mc.precharge, and an audit of mc.precharge handling points to
      mem_cgroup_move_charge_pte_range()'s THP handling in commit 12724850
      ("memcg: avoid THP split in task migration").
      
      Checking !mc.precharge is good everywhere else, when a single page is to
      be charged; but here the "mc.precharge -= HPAGE_PMD_NR" likely to
      follow, is liable to result in underflow (a lot can change since the
      precharge was estimated).
      
      Simply check against HPAGE_PMD_NR: there's probably a better
      alternative, trying precharge for more, splitting if unsuccessful; but
      this one-liner is safer for now - no kernel/res_counter.c:96 warnings
      seen in 26 hours.

      When the relocs tool throws an error, let the error message say if it

      GNU ld 2.22.52.0.1 has a bug that it blindly changes symbols from
      section-relative to absolute if they are in a section of zero length.
      This turns the symbols __init_begin and __init_end into absolute
      symbols.  Let the relocs program know that those should be treated as
      relative symbols.

      x86, realmode: 16-bit real-mode code support for relocs tool · 6520fe55
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      A new option is added to the relocs tool called '--realmode'.
      This option causes the generation of 16-bit segment relocations
      and 32-bit linear relocations for the real-mode code. When
      the real-mode code is moved to the low-memory during kernel
      initialization, these relocation entries can be used to
      relocate the code properly.
      
      In the assembly code 16-bit segment relocations must be relative
      to the 'real_mode_seg' absolute symbol. Linear relocations must be
      relative to a symbol prefixed with 'pa_'.
      
      16-bit segment relocation is used to load cs:ip in 16-bit code.
      Linear relocations are used in the 32-bit code for relocatable
      data references. They are declared in the linker script of the
      real-mode code.
      
      The relocs tool is moved to arch/x86/tools/relocs.c, and added new
      target archscripts that can be used to build scripts needed building
      an architecture.  be compiled before building the arch/x86 tree.
      
      [ hpa: accelerating this because it detects invalid absolute
        relocations, a serious bug in binutils 2.22.52.0.x which currently
        produces bad kernels. ]

      dm thin: fix table output when pool target disables discard passdown internally · f402693d
      Mike Snitzer 提交于
      When the thin pool target clears the discard_passdown parameter
      internally, it incorrectly changes the table line reported to userspace.
      This breaks dumb string comparisons on these table lines in generic
      userspace device-mapper library code and leads to tables being reloaded
      repeatedly when nothing is actually meant to be changing.
      
      This patch corrects this by no longer changing the table line when
      discard passdown was disabled.
      
      We can still tell when discard passdown is overridden by looking for the
      message "Discard unsupported by data device (sdX): Disabling discard passdown."
      
      This automatic detection is also moved from the 'load' to the 'resume'
      so that it is re-evaluated should the properties of underlying devices
      change.

      proc: move fd symlink i_mode calculations into tid_fd_revalidate() · 30a08bf2
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Instead of doing the i_mode calculations at proc_fd_instantiate() time,
      move them into tid_fd_revalidate(), which is where the other inode state
      (notably uid/gid information) is updated too.
      
      Otherwise we'll end up with stale i_mode information if an fd is re-used
      while the dentry still hangs around.  Not that anything really *cares*
      (symlink permissions don't really matter), but Tetsuo Handa noticed that
      the owner read/write bits don't always match the state of the
      readability of the file descriptor, and we _used_ to get this right a
      long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
      
      Besides, aside from fixing an ugly detail (that has apparently been this
      way since commit 61a28784: "proc: Remove the hard coded inode
      numbers" in 2006), this removes more lines of code than it adds.  And it
      just makes sense to update i_mode in the same place we update i_uid/gid.
      
      Al Viro correctly points out that we could just do the inode fill in the
      inode iops ->getattr() function instead.  However, that does require
      somewhat slightly more invasive changes, and adds yet *another* lookup
      of the file descriptor.  We need to do the revalidate() for other
      reasons anyway, and have the file descriptor handy, so we might as well
      fill in the information at this point.

      tilegx: enable SYSCALL_WRAPPERS support · e6d9668e
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      Some discussion with the glibc mailing lists revealed that this was
      necessary for 64-bit platforms with MIPS-like sign-extension rules
      for 32-bit values.  The original symptom was that passing (uid_t)-1 to
      setreuid() was failing in programs linked -pthread because of the "setxid"
      mechanism for passing setxid-type function arguments to the syscall code.
      SYSCALL_WRAPPERS handles ensuring that all syscall arguments end up with
      proper sign-extension and is thus the appropriate fix for this problem.
      
      On other platforms (s390, powerpc, sparc64, and mips) this was fixed
      in 2.6.28.6.  The general issue is tracked as CVE-2009-0029.
