'flush_old_exec()' is the point of no return when doing an execve(), and it is pretty badly misnamed. It doesn't just flush the old executable environment, it also starts up the new one. Which is very inconvenient for things like setting up the new personality, because we want the new personality to affect the starting of the new environment, but at the same time we do _not_ want the new personality to take effect if flushing the old one fails. As a result, the x86-64 '32-bit' personality is actually done using this insane "I'm going to change the ABI, but I haven't done it yet" bit (TIF_ABI_PENDING), with SET_PERSONALITY() not actually setting the personality, but just the "pending" bit, so that "flush_thread()" can do the actual personality magic. This patch in no way changes any of that insanity, but it does split the 'flush_old_exec()' function up into a preparatory part that can fail (still called flush_old_exec()), and a new part that will actually set up the new exec environment (setup_new_exec()). All callers are changed to trivially comply with the new world order. Signed-off-by: NH.

It's a simplified 'read_cache_page()' which takes a page allocation flag, so that different paths can control how aggressive the memory allocations are that populate a address space. In particular, the intel GPU object mapping code wants to be able to do a certain amount of own internal memory management by automatically shrinking the address space when memory starts getting tight. This allows it to dynamically use different memory allocation policies on a per-allocation basis, rather than depend on the (static) address space gfp policy. The actual new function is a one-liner, but re-organizing the helper functions to the point where you can do this with a single line of code is what most of the patch is all about.

GC is non-existent in netns, so after you hit GC threshold, no new dst entries will be created until someone triggers cleanup in init_net. Make xfrm4_dst_ops and xfrm6_dst_ops per-netns. This is not done in a generic way, because it woule waste (AF_MAX - 2) * sizeof(struct dst_ops) bytes per-netns. Reorder GC threshold initialization so it'd be done before registering XFRM policies.

After the device reset and re-configuration, the device and the xHCI host think they are using alternate setting 0 of all interfaces. However, the USB core keeps track of the old state, which may include non-zero alternate settings. It uses intf->cur_altsetting to keep the endpoint sysfs files for the old state across the reset. The bandwidth allocation functions need to know what the xHCI host thinks the current alternate settings are, so original patch set intf->cur_altsetting to the alternate setting 0. This caused duplicate endpoint files to be created. The solution is to not set intf->cur_altsetting before calling usb_set_interface() in usb_reset_and_verify_device(). Instead, we add a new flag to struct usb_interface to tell usb_hcd_alloc_bandwidth() to use alternate setting 0 as the currently installed alternate setting.

commit 541cd3ee ("phylib: Fix deadlock on resume") caused TI DaVinci EMAC ethernet driver to oops upon resume: PM: resume of devices complete after 237.098 msecs Restarting tasks ... done. kernel BUG at kernel/workqueue.c:354! Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 [...] Backtrace: [<c002c598>] (__bug+0x0/0x2c) from [<c0052a54>] (queue_delayed_work_on+0x74/0xf8) [<c00529e0>] (queue_delayed_work_on+0x0/0xf8) from [<c0052b30>] (queue_delayed_work+0x2c/0x30) The oops pops up because TI DaVinci EMAC driver detaches PHY on suspend and attaches it back on resume. Attaching makes phylib call phy_start_machine() that initializes a workqueue. On the other hand, PHY's resume routine will call phy_start_machine() again, and that will cause the oops since we just destroyed the already scheduled workqueue. This patch fixes the issue by moving workqueue initialization to phy_device_create(). p.s. We don't see this oops with ucc_geth and gianfar drivers because they perform a fine-grained suspend, i.e. they just stop the PHYs without detaching.

Fix a problem in NOMMU mmap with ramfs whereby a shared mmap can happen over the end of a truncation. The problem is that ramfs_nommu_check_mappings() checks that the reduced file size against the VMA tree, but not the vm_region tree. The following sequence of events can cause the problem: fd = open("/tmp/x", O_RDWR|O_TRUNC|O_CREAT, 0600); ftruncate(fd, 32 * 1024); a = mmap(NULL, 32 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); b = mmap(NULL, 16 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); munmap(a, 32 * 1024); ftruncate(fd, 16 * 1024); c = mmap(NULL, 32 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); Mapping 'a' creates a vm_region covering 32KB of the file. Mapping 'b' sees that the vm_region from 'a' is covering the region it wants and so shares it, pinning it in memory. Mapping 'a' then goes away and the file is truncated to the end of VMA 'b'. However, the region allocated by 'a' is still in effect, and has _not_ been reduced. Mapping 'c' is then created, and because there's a vm_region covering the desired region, get_unmapped_area() is _not_ called to repeat the check, and the mapping is granted, even though the pages from the latter half of the mapping have been discarded. However: d = mmap(NULL, 16 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); Mapping 'd' should work, and should end up sharing the region allocated by 'a'. To deal with this, we shrink the vm_region struct during the truncation, lest do_mmap_pgoff() take it as licence to share the full region automatically without calling the get_unmapped_area() file op again.

Right now for kfifo_*_user it's not easily possible to distingush between a user copy failing and the FIFO not containing enough data. The problem is that both conditions are multiplexed into the same return code. Avoid this by moving the "copy length" into a separate output parameter and only return 0/-EFAULT in the main return value. I didn't fully adapt the weird "record" variants, those seem to be unused anyways and were rather messy (should they be just removed?)

Update sata_link_resume() such that it reads back SControl after clearing DET and retry if it's not clear.

The list macros use LIST_POISON1 and LIST_POISON2 as undereferencable pointers in order to trap erronous use of freed list_heads. Unfortunately userspace can arrange for those pointers to actually be dereferencable, potentially turning an oops to an expolit. To avoid this allow architectures (currently x86_64 only) to override the default values for these pointers with truly-undereferencable values. This is easy on x86_64 as the virtual address space is large and contains areas that cannot be mapped. Other 64-bit architectures will likely find similar unmapped ranges.

This patch series adds generic support for creating and extracting LZO-compressed kernel images, as well as support for using such images on the x86 and ARM architectures, and support for creating and using LZO-compressed initrd and initramfs images. Russell King said: : Testing on a Cortex A9 model: : - lzo decompressor is 65% of the time gzip takes to decompress a kernel : - lzo kernel is 9% larger than a gzip kernel : : which I'm happy to say confirms your figures when comparing the two. : : However, when comparing your new gzip code to the old gzip code: : - new is 99% of the size of the old code : - new takes 42% of the time to decompress than the old code : : What this means is that for a proper comparison, the results get even better: : - lzo is 7.5% larger than the old gzip'd kernel image : - lzo takes 28% of the time that the old gzip code took : : So the expense seems definitely worth the effort. The only reason I : can think of ever using gzip would be if you needed the additional : compression (eg, because you have limited flash to store the image.) : : I would argue that the default for ARM should therefore be LZO. This patch: The lzo compressor is worse than gzip at compression, but faster at extraction. Here are some figures for an ARM board I'm working on: Uncompressed size: 3.24Mo gzip 1.61Mo 0.72s lzo 1.75Mo 0.48s So for a compression ratio that is still relatively close to gzip, it's much faster to extract, at least in that case. This part contains: - Makefile routine to support lzo compression - Fixes to the existing lzo compressor so that it can be used in compressed kernels - wrapper around the existing lzo1x_decompress, as it only extracts one block at a time, while we need to extract a whole file here - config dialog for kernel compression [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: cleanup] Signed-off-by: NAlbin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> Tested-by: NWu Zhangjin <wuzhangjin@gmail.com> Acked-by: N"H.
