8e76d4eecf sched, numa: do not hint for NUMA balancing on VM_MIXEDMAP mappings
Jovi Zhangwei reported the following problem

  Below kernel vm bug can be triggered by tcpdump which mmaped a lot of pages
  with GFP_COMP flag.

  [Mon May 25 05:29:33 2015] page:ffffea0015414000 count:66 mapcount:1 mapping:          (null) index:0x0

  [Mon May 25 05:29:33 2015] page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(compound_order(page) && !PageTransHuge(page))

  [Mon May 25 05:29:33 2015] kernel BUG at mm/migrate.c:1661!
  [Mon May 25 05:29:33 2015] invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP

In this case it was triggered by running tcpdump but it's not necessary
reproducible on all systems.

  sudo tcpdump -i bond0.100 'tcp port 4242' -c 100000000000 -w 4242.pcap

Compound pages cannot be migrated and it was not expected that such pages
be marked for NUMA balancing.  This did not take into account that drivers
such as net/packet/af_packet.c may insert compound pages into userspace
with vm_insert_page.  This patch tells the NUMA balancing protection
scanner to skip all VM_MIXEDMAP mappings which avoids the possibility that
compound pages are marked for migration.

9b7b819ca1 compat: cleanup coding in compat_get_bitmap() and compat_put_bitmap()
In the functions compat_get_bitmap() and compat_put_bitmap() the
variable nr_compat_longs stores how many compat_ulong_t words should be
copied in a loop.

The copy loop itself is this:
  if (nr_compat_longs-- > 0) {
      if (__get_user(um, umask)) return -EFAULT;
  } else {
      um = 0;
  }

Since nr_compat_longs gets unconditionally decremented in each loop and
since it's type is unsigned this could theoretically lead to out of
bounds accesses to userspace if nr_compat_longs wraps around to
(unsigned)(-1).

Although the callers currently do not trigger out-of-bounds accesses, we
should better implement the loop in a safe way to completely avoid such
warp-arounds.

aa319bcd36 perf: Disallow sparse AUX allocations for non-SG PMUs in overwrite mode
PMUs that don't support hardware scatter tables require big contiguous
chunks of memory and a PMI to switch between them. However, in overwrite
using a PMI for this purpose adds extra overhead that the users would
like to avoid. Thus, in overwrite mode for such PMUs we can only allow
one contiguous chunk for the entire requested buffer.

This patch changes the behavior accordingly, so that if the buddy allocator
fails to come up with a single high-order chunk for the entire requested
buffer, the allocation will fail.

dead9f29dd perf: Fix race in BPF program unregister
there is a race between perf_event_free_bpf_prog() and free_trace_kprobe():

	__free_event()
	  event->destroy(event)
	    tp_perf_event_destroy()
	      perf_trace_destroy()
		perf_trace_event_unreg()

which is dropping event->tp_event->perf_refcount and allows to proceed in:

	unregister_trace_kprobe()
	  unregister_kprobe_event()
	      trace_remove_event_call()
		    probe_remove_event_call()
	free_trace_kprobe()

while __free_event does:

	call_rcu(&event->rcu_head, free_event_rcu);
	  free_event_rcu()
	    perf_event_free_bpf_prog()

To fix the race simply move perf_event_free_bpf_prog() before
event->destroy(), since event->tp_event is still valid at that point.

Note, perf_trace_destroy() is not racing with trace_remove_event_call()
since they both grab event_mutex.

10d784eae2 sched: always use blk_schedule_flush_plug in io_schedule_out
block plug callback could sleep, so we introduce a parameter
'from_schedule' and corresponding drivers can use it to destinguish a
schedule plug flush or a plug finish. Unfortunately io_schedule_out
still uses blk_flush_plug(). This causes below output (Note, I added a
might_sleep() in raid1_unplug to make it trigger faster, but the whole
thing doesn't matter if I add might_sleep). In raid1/10, this can cause
deadlock.

This patch makes io_schedule_out always uses blk_schedule_flush_plug.
This should only impact drivers (as far as I know, raid 1/10) which are
sensitive to the 'from_schedule' parameter.

ab992dc38f watchdog: Fix merge 'conflict'
Two watchdog changes that came through different trees had a non
conflicting conflict, that is, one changed the semantics of a variable
but no actual code conflict happened. So the merge appeared fine, but
the resulting code did not behave as expected.

Commit 195daf665a ("watchdog: enable the new user interface of the
watchdog mechanism") changes the semantics of watchdog_user_enabled,
which thereafter is only used by the functions introduced by
b3738d2932 ("watchdog: Add watchdog enable/disable all functions").

There further appears to be a distinct lack of serialization between
setting and using watchdog_enabled, so perhaps we should wrap the
{en,dis}able_all() things in watchdog_proc_mutex.

This patch fixes a s2r failure reported by Michal; which I cannot
readily explain. But this does make the code internally consistent
again.

f7bcb70eba ktime: Fix ktime_divns to do signed division
It was noted that the 32bit implementation of ktime_divns()
was doing unsigned division and didn't properly handle
negative values.

And when a ktime helper was changed to utilize
ktime_divns, it caused a regression on some IR blasters.
See the following bugzilla for details:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1200353

This patch fixes the problem in ktime_divns by checking
and preserving the sign bit, and then reapplying it if
appropriate after the division, it also changes the return
type to a s64 to make it more obvious this is expected.

Nicolas also pointed out that negative dividers would
cause infinite loops on 32bit systems, negative dividers
is unlikely for users of this function, but out of caution
this patch adds checks for negative dividers for both
32-bit (BUG_ON) and 64-bit(WARN_ON) versions to make sure
no such use cases creep in.

37815bf866 module: Call module notifier on failure after complete_formation()
The module notifier call chain for MODULE_STATE_COMING was moved up before

to load after that, the notifier call chain for MODULE_STATE_GOING was
never called and that prevented the users of those call chains from

533445c6e5 sched/core: Fix regression in cpuset_cpu_inactive() for suspend
Commit 3c18d447b3 ("sched/core: Check for available DL bandwidth in
cpuset_cpu_inactive()"), a SCHED_DEADLINE bugfix, had a logic error that
caused a regression in setting a CPU inactive during suspend. I ran into
this when a program was failing pthread_setaffinity_np() with EINVAL after
a suspend+wake up.

A simple reproducer:

	$ ./a.out
	sched_setaffinity: Success
	$ systemctl suspend
	$ ./a.out
	sched_setaffinity: Invalid argument

... where ./a.out is:

	#define _GNU_SOURCE
	#include <errno.h>
	#include <sched.h>
	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <stdlib.h>
	#include <string.h>
	#include <unistd.h>

	int main(void)
	{
		long num_cores;
		cpu_set_t cpu_set;
		int ret;

		num_cores = sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN);
		CPU_ZERO(&cpu_set);
		CPU_SET(num_cores - 1, &cpu_set);
		errno = 0;
		ret = sched_setaffinity(getpid(), sizeof(cpu_set), &cpu_set);
		perror("sched_setaffinity");
		return ret ? EXIT_FAILURE : EXIT_SUCCESS;
	}

The mistake is that suspend is handled in the action ==
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE_FROZEN case of the switch statement in
cpuset_cpu_inactive().

However, the commit in question masked out CPU_TASKS_FROZEN
from the action, making this case dead.

The fix is straightforward.

0782e63bc6 sched: Handle priority boosted tasks proper in setscheduler()
Ronny reported that the following scenario is not handled correctly:

	T1 (prio = 10)
	   lock(rtmutex);

	T2 (prio = 20)
	   lock(rtmutex)
	      boost T1

	T1 (prio = 20)
	   sys_set_scheduler(prio = 30)
	   T1 prio = 30
	   ....
	   sys_set_scheduler(prio = 10)
	   T1 prio = 30

The last step is wrong as T1 should now be back at prio 20.

Commit c365c292d0 ("sched: Consider pi boosting in setscheduler()")
only handles the case where a boosted tasks tries to lower its
priority.

Fix it by taking the new effective priority into account for the
decision whether a change of the priority is required.

The only caller to this function (__print_array) was getting it wrong by
passing the array length instead of buffer length. As the element size
was already being passed for other reasons it seems reasonable to push
the calculation of buffer length into the function.

df8d9eeadd cpuidle: Run tick_broadcast_exit() with disabled interrupts
Commit 335f49196f (sched/idle: Use explicit broadcast oneshot
control function) replaced clockevents_notify() invocations in
cpuidle_idle_call() with direct calls to tick_broadcast_enter()
and tick_broadcast_exit(), but it overlooked the fact that
interrupts were already enabled before calling the latter which
led to functional breakage on systems using idle states with the
CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP flag set.

Fix that by moving the invocations of tick_broadcast_enter()
and tick_broadcast_exit() down into cpuidle_enter_state() where
interrupts are still disabled when tick_broadcast_exit() is
called.  Also ensure that interrupts will be disabled before
running tick_broadcast_exit() even if they have been enabled by
the idle state's ->enter callback.  Trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE() in
that case, as we generally don't want that to happen for states
with CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP set.

73459e2a1a x86: pvclock: Really remove the sched notifier for cross-cpu migrations
This reverts commits 0a4e6be9ca
and 80f7fdb1c7.

The task migration notifier was originally introduced in order to support
the pvclock vsyscall with non-synchronized TSC, but KVM only supports it
with synchronized TSC.  Hence, on KVM the race condition is only needed
due to a bad implementation on the host side, and even then it's so rare
that it's mostly theoretical.

As far as KVM is concerned it's possible to fix the host, avoiding the
additional complexity in the vDSO and the (re)introduction of the task
migration notifier.

Xen, on the other hand, hasn't yet implemented vsyscall support at

149aabcc44 clockevents: Shutdown detached clockevent device
A clockevent device is marked DETACHED when it is replaced by another
clockevent device.

The device is shutdown properly for drivers that implement legacy
->set_mode() callback, as we call ->set_mode() for CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED
as well.

But for the new per-state callback interface, we skip shutting down the
device, as we thought its an internal state change. That wasn't correct.

The effect is that the device is left programmed in oneshot or periodic
mode.

Fall-back to 'case CLOCK_EVT_STATE_SHUTDOWN', to shutdown the device.

Fixes: bd624d75db "clockevents: Introduce mode specific callbacks"

7e01b5acd8 kexec: allocate the kexec control page with KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_GFP
Introduce KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_GFP to allow the architecture code
to override the gfp flags of the allocation for the kexec control
page. The loop in kimage_alloc_normal_control_pages allocates pages
with GFP_KERNEL until a page is found that happens to have an
address smaller than the KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT. On systems
with a large memory size but a small KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT
the loop will keep allocating memory until the oom killer steps in.

4f2112351b This adds three fixes for the tracing code.
The first is a bug when ftrace_dump_on_oops is triggered in atomic context
 and function graph tracer is the tracer that is being reported.
 
 The second fix is bad parsing of the trace_events from the kernel
 command line, where it would ignore specific events if the system
 name is used with defining the event(it enables all events within the
 system).
 
 The last one is a fix to the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(), where a check was missing
 to see if the ptr was incremented to the end of the string, but the loop
 increments it again and can miss the nul delimiter to stop processing.

5224b9613b smp: Fix error case handling in smp_call_function_*()
Commit 8053871d0f ("smp: Fix smp_call_function_single_async()
locking") fixed the locking for the asynchronous smp-call case, but in
the process of moving the lock handling around, one of the error cases
ended up not unlocking the call data at all.

This went unnoticed on x86, because this is a "caller is buggy" case,
where the caller is trying to call a non-existent CPU.  But apparently
ARM does that (at least under qemu-arm).  Bindly doing cross-cpu calls
to random CPU's that aren't even online seems a bit fishy, but the error
handling was clearly not correct.

Simply add the missing "csd_unlock()" to the error path.

3193899d4d tracing: Fix possible out of bounds memory access when parsing enums
The code that replaces the enum names with the enum values in the
tracepoints' format files could possible miss the end of string nul
character. This was caused by processing things like backslashes, quotes
and other tokens. After processing the tokens, a check for the nul
character needed to be done before continuing the loop, because the loop
incremented the pointer before doing the check, which could bypass the nul
character.

11163348a2 oprofile: reduce mmap_sem hold for mm->exe_file
sync_buffer() needs the mmap_sem for two distinct operations, both only
occurring upon user context switch handling:

 1) Dealing with the exe_file.

 2) Adding the dcookie data as we need to lookup the vma that
   backs it. This is done via add_sample() and add_data().

This patch isolates 1), for it will no longer need the mmap_sem for
serialization.  However, for now, make of the more standard
get_mm_exe_file(), requiring only holding the mmap_sem to read the value,
and relying on reference counting to make sure that the exe file won't
dissappear underneath us while doing the get dcookie.

As a consequence, for 2) we move the mmap_sem locking into where we really
need it, in lookup_dcookie().  The benefits are twofold: reduce mmap_sem
hold times, and cleaner code.

230633d109 kernel/sysctl.c: detect overflows when converting to int
When converting unsigned long to int overflows may occur.  These currently
are not detected when writing to the sysctl file system.

E.g. on a system where int has 32 bits and long has 64 bits
  echo 0x800001234 > /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max
has the same effect as
  echo 0x1234 > /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max

The patch adds the missing check in do_proc_dointvec_conv.

With the patch an overflow will result in an error EINVAL when writing to
the the sysctl file system.
