commit b738d764652dc5aab1c8939f637112981fce9e0e upstream.
shrink_inactive_list() used to wait 0.1s to avoid congestion when all
the pages that were isolated from the inactive list were dirty but not
under active writeback. That makes no real sense, and apparently causes
major interactivity issues under some loads since 3.11.
The ostensible reason for it was to wait for kswapd to start writing
pages, but that seems questionable as well, since the congestion wait
code seems to trigger for kswapd itself as well. Also, the logic behind
delaying anything when we haven't actually started writeback is not
clear - it only delays actually starting that writeback.
We'll still trigger the congestion waiting if
(a) the process is kswapd, and we hit pages flagged for immediate
reclaim
(b) the process is not kswapd, and the zone backing dev writeback is
actually congested.
This probably needs to be revisited, but as it is this fixes a reported
regression.

commit 11d3d334af07408ce3a68860c40006ddcd343da5 upstream.
The driver calls irq_alloc_domain_generic_chips() which creates a gc and
adds it to gc_list. The driver later then calls irq_setup_generic_chip()
which also initializes the gc and adds it to the gc_list() and this
corrupts the list. Enable LIST_DEBUG and you see the kernel complain.
This isn't required, irq_alloc_domain_generic_chips() did the init.

commit 263782c1c95bbddbb022dc092fd89a36bb8d5577 upstream.
As of commit f8567a3845ac05bb28f3c1b478ef752762bd39ef it is now possible to
have put_reqs_available() called from irq context. While put_reqs_available()
is per cpu, it did not protect itself from interrupts on the same CPU. This
lead to aio_complete() corrupting the available io requests count when run
under a heavy O_DIRECT workloads as reported by Robert Elliott. Fix this by
disabling irq updates around the per cpu batch updates of reqs_available.
Many thanks to Robert and folks for testing and tracking this down.

commit c7fb93ec51d462ec3540a729ba446663c26a0505 upstream.
The PE/COFF headers currently describe only the initialised-data
portions of the image, and result in no space being allocated for the
uninitialised-data portions. Consequently, the EFI boot stub will end
up overwriting unexpected areas of memory, with unpredictable results.
Fix by including a .bss section in the PE/COFF headers (functionally
equivalent to the init_size field in the bzImage header).

commit b0ab99e7736af88b8ac1b7ae50ea287fffa2badc upstream.
proc_sched_show_task() does:
if (nr_switches)
do_div(avg_atom, nr_switches);
nr_switches is unsigned long and do_div truncates it to 32 bits, which
means it can test non-zero on e.g. x86-64 and be truncated to zero for
division.
Fix the problem by using div64_ul() instead.
As a side effect calculations of avg_atom for big nr_switches are now correct.

commit 4320f6b1d9db4ca912c5eb6ecb328b2e090e1586 upstream.
The commit [247bc037: PM / Sleep: Mitigate race between the freezer
and request_firmware()] introduced the finer state control, but it
also leads to a new bug; for example, a bug report regarding the
firmware loading of intel BT device at suspend/resume:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=873790
The root cause seems to be a small window between the process resume
and the clear of usermodehelper lock. The request_firmware() function
checks the UMH lock and gives up when it's in UMH_DISABLE state. This
is for avoiding the invalid f/w loading during suspend/resume phase.
The problem is, however, that usermodehelper_enable() is called at the
end of thaw_processes(). Thus, a thawed process in between can kick
off the f/w loader code path (in this case, via btusb_setup_intel())
even before the call of usermodehelper_enable(). Then
usermodehelper_read_trylock() returns an error and request_firmware()
spews WARN_ON() in the end.
This oneliner patch fixes the issue just by setting to UMH_FREEZING
state again before restarting tasks, so that the call of
request_firmware() will be blocked until the end of this function
instead of returning an error.

commit 6b54d54dea82ae214e4a45a503c4ef755a8ecee8 upstream.
The status page is mapped to user processes and allows sharing the
device state between the kernel and user processes. This state isn't
getting initialized and thus intermittently causes problems. Namely,
the user process can mistakenly think the user doorbell writes are
disabled which causes SQ work requests to never get fetched by HW.

commit 9aec8629ec829fc9403788cd959e05dd87988bd1 upstream.
The block size for the thin-pool's data device must remained fixed for
the life of the thin-pool. Disallow any attempt to change the
thin-pool's data block size.
It should be noted that attempting to change the data block size via
thin-pool table reload will be ignored as a side-effect of the thin-pool
handover that the thin-pool target does during thin-pool table reload.
Here is an example outcome of attempting to load a thin-pool table that
reduced the thin-pool's data block size from 1024K to 512K.
Before:
kernel: device-mapper: thin: 253:4: growing the data device from 204800 to 409600 blocks
After:
kernel: device-mapper: thin metadata: changing the data block size (from 2048 to 1024) is not supported
kernel: device-mapper: table: 253:4: thin-pool: Error creating metadata object

commit 79a8468747c5f95ed3d5ce8376a3e82e0c5857fc upstream.
The expression entropy_count -= ibytes << (ENTROPY_SHIFT + 3) could
actually increase entropy_count if during assignment of the unsigned
expression on the RHS (mind the -=) we reduce the value modulo
2^width(int) and assign it to entropy_count. Trinity found this.
[ Commit modified by tytso to add an additional safety check for a
negative entropy_count -- which should never happen, and to also add
an additional paranoia check to prevent overly large count values to
be passed into urandom_read(). ]

commit 92c14bd9477a20a83144f08c0ca25b0308bf0730 upstream.
This is only relevant to implementations with multiple clusters, where clusters
have separate clock lines but all CPUs within a cluster share it.
Consider a dual cluster platform with 2 cores per cluster. During suspend we
start hot unplugging CPUs in order 1 to 3. When CPU2 is removed, policy->kobj
would be moved to CPU3 and when CPU3 goes down we wouldn't free policy or its
kobj as we want to retain permissions/values/etc.
Now on resume, we will get CPU2 before CPU3 and will call __cpufreq_add_dev().
We will recover the old policy and update policy->cpu from 3 to 2 from
update_policy_cpu().
But the kobj is still tied to CPU3 and isn't moved to CPU2. We wouldn't create a
link for CPU2, but would try that for CPU3 while bringing it online. Which will
report errors as CPU3 already has kobj assigned to it.
This bug got introduced with commit 42f921a, which overlooked this scenario.
To fix this, lets move kobj to the new policy->cpu while bringing first CPU of a
cluster back. Also do a WARN_ON() if kobject_move failed, as we would reach here
only for the first CPU of a non-boot cluster. And we can't recover from this
situation, if kobject_move() fails.

commit 3896c329df8092661dac80f55a8c3f60136fd61a upstream.
Mauro reported that his AMD X2 using the powernow-k8 cpufreq driver
locked up when doing cpu hotplug.
Because we called set_cyc2ns_scale() from the time_cpufreq_notifier()
unconditionally, it gets called multiple times for each freq change,
instead of only the once, when the tsc_khz value actually changes.
Because it gets called more than once, we run out of cyc2ns data slots
and stall, waiting for a free one, but because we're half way offline,
there's no consumers to free slots.
By placing the call inside the condition that actually changes tsc_khz
we avoid superfluous calls and avoid the problem.

Commit d9e7972619334 "hwrng: add randomness to system from rng sources"

However, some rng devices need initialization before data can be read

This commit makes the call to rng_get_data() depend on no init fn
pointer being registered by the device. If an init function is
registered, this call is made after device init.

commit 29e697b11853d3f83b1864ae385abdad4aa2c361 upstream.
Certain GIC implementation, namely those found on earlier, single
cluster, Exynos SoCs, have registers mapped without per-CPU banking,
which means that the driver needs to use different offset for each CPU.
Currently the driver calculates the offset by multiplying value returned
by cpu_logical_map() by CPU offset parsed from DT. This is correct when
CPU topology is not specified in DT and aforementioned function returns
core ID alone. However when DT contains CPU topology, the function
changes to return cluster ID as well, which is non-zero on mentioned
SoCs and so breaks the calculation in GIC driver.
This patch fixes this by masking out cluster ID in CPU offset
calculation so that only core ID is considered. Multi-cluster Exynos
SoCs already have banked GIC implementations, so this simple fix should
be enough.

commit 97b8ee845393701edc06e27ccec2876ff9596019 upstream.
ring_buffer_poll_wait() should always put the poll_table to its wait_queue
even there is immediate data available. Otherwise, the following epoll and
read sequence will eventually hang forever:
1. Put some data to make the trace_pipe ring_buffer read ready first
2. epoll_ctl(efd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, trace_pipe_fd, ee)
3. epoll_wait()
4. read(trace_pipe_fd) till EAGAIN
5. Add some more data to the trace_pipe ring_buffer
6. epoll_wait() -> this epoll_wait() will block forever
~ During the epoll_ctl(efd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD,...) call in step 2,
ring_buffer_poll_wait() returns immediately without adding poll_table,
which has poll_table->_qproc pointing to ep_poll_callback(), to its
wait_queue.
~ During the epoll_wait() call in step 3 and step 6,
ring_buffer_poll_wait() cannot add ep_poll_callback() to its wait_queue
because the poll_table->_qproc is NULL and it is how epoll works.
~ When there is new data available in step 6, ring_buffer does not know
it has to call ep_poll_callback() because it is not in its wait queue.
Hence, block forever.
Other poll implementation seems to call poll_wait() unconditionally as the very
first thing to do. For example, tcp_poll() in tcp.c.

commit d76744a93246eccdca1106037e8ee29debf48277 upstream.
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70191
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77581
It is observed that sometimes Tx packet is downloaded without
adding driver's txpd header. This results in firmware parsing
garbage data as packet length. Sometimes firmware is unable
to read the packet if length comes out as invalid. This stops
further traffic and timeout occurs.
The root cause is uninitialized fields in tx_info(skb->cb) of
packet used to get garbage values. In this case if
MWIFIEX_BUF_FLAG_REQUEUED_PKT flag is mistakenly set, txpd
header was skipped. This patch makes sure that tx_info is
correctly initialized to fix the problem.

commit b292d7a10487aee6e74b1c18b8d95b92f40d4a4f upstream.
Currently, any NMI is falsely handled by a NMI handler of NMI watchdog
if CondChgd bit in MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS MSR is set.
For example, we use external NMI to make system panic to get crash
dump, but in this case, the external NMI is falsely handled do to the
issue.
This commit deals with the issue simply by ignoring CondChgd bit.
Here is explanation in detail.
On x86 NMI watchdog uses performance monitoring feature to
periodically signal NMI each time performance counter gets overflowed.
intel_pmu_handle_irq() is called as a NMI_LOCAL handler from a NMI
handler of NMI watchdog, perf_event_nmi_handler(). It identifies an
owner of a given NMI by looking at overflow status bits in
MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS MSR. If some of the bits are set, then it
handles the given NMI as its own NMI.
The problem is that the intel_pmu_handle_irq() doesn't distinguish
CondChgd bit from other bits. Unlike the other status bits, CondChgd
bit doesn't represent overflow status for performance counters. Thus,
CondChgd bit cannot be thought of as a mark indicating a given NMI is
NMI watchdog's.
As a result, if CondChgd bit is set, any NMI is falsely handled by the
NMI handler of NMI watchdog. Also, if type of the falsely handled NMI
is either NMI_UNKNOWN, NMI_SERR or NMI_IO_CHECK, the corresponding
action is never performed until CondChgd bit is cleared.
I noticed this behavior on systems with Ivy Bridge processors: Intel
Xeon CPU E5-2630 v2 and Intel Xeon CPU E7-8890 v2. On both systems,
CondChgd bit in MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS MSR has already been set
in the beginning at boot. Then the CondChgd bit is immediately cleared
by next wrmsr to MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL MSR and appears to remain
0.
On the other hand, on older processors such as Nehalem, Xeon E7540,
CondChgd bit is not set in the beginning at boot.
I'm not sure about exact behavior of CondChgd bit, in particular when
this bit is set. Although I read Intel System Programmer's Manual to
figure out that, the descriptions I found are:
In 18.9.1:
"The MSR_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS MSR also provides a ¡sticky bit¢ to
indicate changes to the state of performancmonitoring hardware"
In Table 35-2 IA-32 Architectural MSRs
63 CondChg: status bits of this register has changed.
These are different from the bahviour I see on the actual system as I
explained above.
At least, I think ignoring CondChgd bit should be enough for NMI
watchdog perspective.

commit 1f9a7268c67f0290837aada443d28fd953ddca90 upstream.
The context check in perf_event_context_sched_out allows
non-cloned context to be part of the optimized schedule
out switch.
This could move non-cloned context into another workload
child. Once this child exits, the context is closed and
leaves all original (parent) events in closed state.
Any other new cloned event will have closed state and not
measure anything. And probably causing other odd bugs.

[ Upstream commit 3916a3192793fd3c11f69d623ef0cdbdbf9ea10a ]
Commit 568f194e8bd16c353ad50f9ab95d98b20578a39d ("net: ppp: use
sk_unattached_filter api") causes sk_chk_filter() to be called twice when
setting a PPP pass or active filter. This applies to both the generic PPP
subsystem implemented by drivers/net/ppp/ppp_generic.c and the ISDN PPP
subsystem implemented by drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_ppp.c. The first call is from
within get_filter(). The second one is through the call chain
ppp_ioctl() or isdn_ppp_ioctl()
--> sk_unattached_filter_create()
--> __sk_prepare_filter()
--> sk_chk_filter()
The first call from within get_filter() should be deleted as get_filter() is
called just before calling sk_unattached_filter_create() later on, which
eventually calls sk_chk_filter() anyway.
For 3.15.x, this proposed change is a bugfix rather than a pure optimization as
in that branch, sk_chk_filter() may replace filter codes by other codes which
are not recognized when executing sk_chk_filter() a second time. So with
3.15.x, if sk_chk_filter() is called twice, the second invocation may yield
EINVAL (this depends on the filter codes found in the filter to be set, but
because the replacement is done for frequently used codes, this is almost
always the case). The net effect is that setting pass and/or active PPP filters
does not work anymore, since sk_unattached_filter_create() always returns
EINVAL due to the second call to sk_chk_filter(), regardless whether the filter
was originally sane or not.

[ Upstream commit cc25eaae238ddd693aa5eaa73e565d8ff4915f6e ]
Commit 568f194e8bd16c353ad50f9ab95d98b20578a39d ("net: ppp: use
sk_unattached_filter api") inadvertently changed the logic when setting
PPP pass and active filters. This applies to both the generic PPP subsystem
implemented by drivers/net/ppp/ppp_generic.c and the ISDN PPP subsystem
implemented by drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_ppp.c. The original code in ppp_ioctl()
(or isdn_ppp_ioctl(), resp.) handling PPPIOCSPASS and PPPIOCSACTIVE allowed to
remove a pass/active filter previously set by using a filter of length zero.
However, with the new code this is not possible anymore as this case is not
explicitly checked for, which leads to passing NULL as a filter to
sk_unattached_filter_create(). This results in returning EINVAL to the caller.
Additionally, the variables ppp->pass_filter and ppp->active_filter (or
is->pass_filter and is->active_filter, resp.) are not reset to NULL, although
the filters they point to may have been destroyed by
sk_unattached_filter_destroy(), so in this EINVAL case dangling pointers are
left behind (provided the pointers were previously non-NULL).
This patch corrects both problems by checking whether the filter passed is
empty or non-empty, and prevents sk_unattached_filter_create() from being
called in the first case. Moreover, the pointers are always reset to NULL
as soon as sk_unattached_filter_destroy() returns.

[ Upstream commit a8a3e41c67d24eb12f9ab9680cbb85e24fcd9711 ]
The PPP channel MTU is used with Multilink PPP when ppp_mp_explode() (see
ppp_generic module) tries to determine how big a fragment might be. According
to RFC 1661, the MTU excludes the 2-byte PPP protocol field, see the
corresponding comment and code in ppp_mp_explode():
/*
* hdrlen includes the 2-byte PPP protocol field, but the
* MTU counts only the payload excluding the protocol field.
* (RFC1661 Section 2)
*/
mtu = pch->chan->mtu - (hdrlen - 2);
However, the pppoe module *does* include the PPP protocol field in the channel
MTU, which is wrong as it causes the PPP payload to be 1-2 bytes too big under
certain circumstances (one byte if PPP protocol compression is used, two
otherwise), causing the generated Ethernet packets to be dropped. So the pppoe
module has to subtract two bytes from the channel MTU. This error only
manifests itself when using Multilink PPP, as otherwise the channel MTU is not
used anywhere.
In the following, I will describe how to reproduce this bug. We configure two
pppd instances for multilink PPP over two PPPoE links, say eth2 and eth3, with
a MTU of 1492 bytes for each link and a MRRU of 2976 bytes. (This MRRU is
computed by adding the two link MTUs and subtracting the MP header twice, which
is 4 bytes long.) The necessary pppd statements on both sides are "multilink
mtu 1492 mru 1492 mrru 2976". On the client side, we additionally need "plugin
rp-pppoe.so eth2" and "plugin rp-pppoe.so eth3", respectively; on the server
side, we additionally need to start two pppoe-server instances to be able to
