f90ebd9e98 drm_fb_helper: Preserve capability to use atomic kms
Commit 5349ef3127 (drm/fb: fix
FBIOGET/PUT_VSCREENINFO pixel clock handling) changed the logic of
when a pixclock was valid vs invalid.

The atomic kernel mode setting used by the kernel debugger relies upon
the drm_fb_helper_check_var() to always return -EINVAL.  Until a
better solution exists, this behavior will be restored.

c924b934d0 i915: when kgdb is active display compression should be off
If the HW compression is left on, the call backs from the HW will
crash the kernel.  The only time this code is called is when kernel
mode setting is in use with kgdb and the kdb shell.

The atomic display pipe handler callback will reset everything when
kgdb restores kernel to the run state.

Add fb ops to handle enter/exit of the kernel debugger.  If present, the

6d855b1d83 gdbstub: do not directly use dbg_reg_def[] in gdb_cmd_reg_set()
Presently the usable registers definitions on x86 are not contiguous
for kgdb.  The x86 kgdb uses a case statement for the sparse register
accesses.  The array which defines the registers (dbg_reg_def) should
not be used directly in order to safely work with sparse register
definitions.

Specifically there was a problem when gdb accesses ORIG_AX, which is
accessed only through the case statement.

This patch encodes register memory using the size information provided
from the debugger which avoids the need to look up the size of the
register.  The dbg_set_reg() function always further validates the
inputs from the debugger.

84a0bd5b28 gdbstub: Optimize kgdb's "thread:" response for the gdb serial protocol
The gdb debugger understands how to parse short versions of the thread
reference string as long as the bytes are paired in sets of two
characters.  The kgdb implementation was always sending 8 leading
zeros which could be omitted, and further optimized in the case of
non-negative thread numbers.  The negative numbers are used to
reference a specific cpu in the case of kgdb.

An example of the previous i386 stop packet looks like:
    T05thread:00000000000003bb;

New stop packet response:
    T05thread:03bb;

The previous ThreadInfo response looks like:
    m00000000fffffffe,0000000000000001,0000000000000002,0000000000000003,0000000000000004,0000000000000005,0000000000000006,0000000000000007,000000000000000c,0000000000000088,000000000000008a,000000000000008b,000000000000008c,000000000000008d,000000000000008e,00000000000000d4,00000000000000d5,00000000000000dd

New ThreadInfo response:
    mfffffffe,01,02,03,04,05,06,07,0c,88,8a,8b,8c,8d,8e,d4,d5,dd

A few bytes saved means better response time when using kgdb over a
serial line.

de51257aa3 mm: fix ia64 crash when gcore reads gate area
Debian's ia64 autobuilders have been seeing kernel freeze or reboot
when running the gdb testsuite (Debian bug 588574): dannf bisected to
2.6.32 62eede62da "mm: ZERO_PAGE without
PTE_SPECIAL"; and reproduced it with gdb's gcore on a simple target.

I'd missed updating the gate_vma handling in __get_user_pages(): that
happens to use vm_normal_page() (nowadays failing on the zero page),
yet reported success even when it failed to get a page - boom when
access_process_vm() tried to copy that to its intermediate buffer.

Fix this, resisting cleanups: in particular, leave it for now reporting
success when not asked to get any pages - very probably safe to change,
but let's not risk it without testing exposure.

Why did ia64 crash with 16kB pages, but succeed with 64kB pages?
Because setup_gate() pads each 64kB of its gate area with zero pages.

smp_processor_id() must not be called from a preemptible context (this

This lead to a problem where the wrong per_cpu kmap_high_l1_vipt_depth
could be incremented, causing a BUG_ON(*depth <= 0); in
kunmap_high_l1_vipt().

The solution is to move the call to smp_processor_id() after the call

674b222292 nfs: include space for the NUL in root path
In root_nfs_name() it does the following:

        if (strlen(buf) + strlen(cp) > NFS_MAXPATHLEN) {
                printk(KERN_ERR "Root-NFS: Pathname for remote directory too long.\n");
                return -1;
        }
        sprintf(nfs_export_path, buf, cp);

In the original code if (strlen(buf) + strlen(cp) == NFS_MAXPATHLEN)
then the sprintf() would lead to an overflow.  Generally the rest of the
code assumes that the path can have NFS_MAXPATHLEN (1024) characters and
a NUL terminator so the fix is to add space to the nfs_export_path[]
buffer.

8f92054e7c CRED: Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check and banner comment
Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check by removing the following validation
condition:

	lockdep_tasklist_lock_is_held()

as commit_creds() does not take the tasklist_lock, and nor do most of the
functions that call it, so this check is pointless and it can prevent
detection of the RCU lock not being held if the tasklist_lock is held.

Instead, add the following validation condition:

	task->exit_state >= 0

to permit the access if the target task is dead and therefore unable to change
its own credentials.

Fix __task_cred()'s comment to:

 (1) discard the bit that says that the caller must prevent the target task
     from being deleted.  That shouldn't need saying.

 (2) Add a comment indicating the result of __task_cred() should not be passed
     directly to get_cred(), but rather than get_task_cred() should be used
     instead.

Also put a note into the documentation to enforce this point there too.

de09a9771a CRED: Fix get_task_cred() and task_state() to not resurrect dead credentials
It's possible for get_task_cred() as it currently stands to 'corrupt' a set of
credentials by incrementing their usage count after their replacement by the
task being accessed.

What happens is that get_task_cred() can race with commit_creds():

	TASK_1			TASK_2			RCU_CLEANER
	-->get_task_cred(TASK_2)
	rcu_read_lock()
	__cred = __task_cred(TASK_2)
				-->commit_creds()
				old_cred = TASK_2->real_cred
				TASK_2->real_cred = ...
				put_cred(old_cred)
				  call_rcu(old_cred)
		[__cred->usage == 0]
	get_cred(__cred)
		[__cred->usage == 1]
	rcu_read_unlock()
							-->put_cred_rcu()
							[__cred->usage == 1]
							panic()

However, since a tasks credentials are generally not changed very often, we can
reasonably make use of a loop involving reading the creds pointer and using
atomic_inc_not_zero() to attempt to increment it if it hasn't already hit zero.

If successful, we can safely return the credentials in the knowledge that, even
if the task we're accessing has released them, they haven't gone to the RCU
cleanup code.

We then change task_state() in procfs to use get_task_cred() rather than
calling get_cred() on the result of __task_cred(), as that suffers from the
same problem.

Without this change, a BUG_ON in __put_cred() or in put_cred_rcu() can be
tripped when it is noticed that the usage count is not zero as it ought to be,
for example:

dc1eae256c ALSA: hda - Add a PC-beep workaround for ASUS P5-V
ASUS P5-V provides a SSID that unexpectedly matches with the value
compilant with Realtek's specification.  Thus the driver interprets
it badly, resulting in non-working PC beep.

This patch adds a white-list for such a case; a white-list of known
devices with working PC beep.

b92b361213 ARM: Add barriers to io{read,write}{8,16,32} accessors as well
The ioread/iowrite accessors also need barriers as they're used in
place of readl/writel et.al. in portable drivers.  Create __iormb()
and __iowmb() which are conditionally defined to be barriers dependent
on ARM_DMA_MEM_BUFFERABLE, and always use these macros in the accessors.

79f64dbf68 ARM: 6273/1: Add barriers to the I/O accessors if ARM_DMA_MEM_BUFFERABLE
When the coherent DMA buffers are mapped as Normal Non-cacheable
(ARM_DMA_MEM_BUFFERABLE enabled), buffer accesses are no longer ordered
with Device memory accesses causing failures in device drivers that do
not use the mandatory memory barriers before starting a DMA transfer.
LKML discussions led to the conclusion that such barriers have to be
added to the I/O accessors:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/683509/focus=686153
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/46414
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cross-arch/5250

This patch introduces a wmb() barrier to the write*() I/O accessors to
handle the situations where Normal Non-cacheable writes are still in the
processor (or L2 cache controller) write buffer before a DMA transfer
command is issued. For the read*() accessors, a rmb() is introduced
after the I/O to avoid speculative loads where the driver polls for a
DMA transfer ready bit.
