Notice that acpi_bus_add() uses only 2 of its 4 arguments and
redefine its header to match the body. Update all of its callers as
necessary and observe that this leads to quite a number of removed
lines of code (Linus will like that).Add a kerneldoc comment documenting acpi_bus_add() and wonder how
its callers make wrong assumptions about the second argument (make
note to self to take care of that later).Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

The ACPI PCI root bridge driver was the only ACPI driver implementing
the .start() callback, which isn't used by any ACPI drivers any more
now.For this reason, acpi_start_single_object() has no purpose any more,
so remove it and all references to it. Also remove
acpi_bus_start_device(), whose only purpose was to call
acpi_start_single_object().Moreover, since after the removal of acpi_bus_start_device() the
only purpose of acpi_bus_start() remains to call
acpi_update_all_gpes(), move that into acpi_bus_add() and drop
acpi_bus_start() too, remove its header from acpi_bus.h and
update all of its former users accordingly.This change was previously proposed in a different from by
Yinghai Lu.Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

Notice that one member of struct acpi_bus_ops, acpi_op_add, is not
used anywhere any more and the relationship between its remaining
members, acpi_op_match and acpi_op_start, is such that it doesn't
make sense to set the latter without setting the former at the same
time. Therefore, replace struct acpi_bus_ops with new a enum type,
enum acpi_bus_add_type, with three values, ACPI_BUS_ADD_BASIC,
ACPI_BUS_ADD_MATCH, ACPI_BUS_ADD_START, corresponding to
both acpi_op_match and acpi_op_start unset, acpi_op_match set and
acpi_op_start unset, and both acpi_op_match and acpi_op_start set,
respectively.Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

Split the ACPI namespace scanning for devices into two passes, such
that struct acpi_device objects are registerd in the first pass
without probing ACPI drivers and the drivers are probed against them
directly in the second pass.There are two main reasons for doing that.
First, the ACPI PCI root bridge driver's .add() routine,
acpi_pci_root_add(), causes struct pci_dev objects to be created for
all PCI devices under the given root bridge. Usually, there are
corresponding ACPI device nodes in the ACPI namespace for some of
those devices and therefore there should be "companion" struct
acpi_device objects to attach those struct pci_dev objects to. These
struct acpi_device objects should exist when the corresponding
struct pci_dev objects are created, but that is only guaranteed
during boot and not during hotplug. This leads to a number of
functional differences between the boot and the hotplug cases which
are not strictly necessary and make the code more complicated.For example, this forces the ACPI PCI root bridge driver to defer the
registration of the just created struct pci_dev objects and to use a
special .start() callback routine, acpi_pci_root_start(), to make
sure that all of the "companion" struct acpi_device objects will be
present at PCI devices registration time during hotplug.If those differences can be eliminated, we will be able to
consolidate the boot and hotplug code paths for the enumeration and
registration of PCI devices and to reduce the complexity of that
code quite a bit.The second reason is that, in general, it should be possible to
resolve conflicts of resources assigned by the BIOS to different
devices represented by ACPI namespace nodes before any drivers bind
to them and before they are attached to "companion" objects
representing physical devices (such as struct pci_dev). However, for
this purpose we first need to enumerate all ACPI device nodes in the
given namespace scope.Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

Unfortunately with !CONFIG_PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED, (!PageHead) is false, and
(PageHead) is true, for tail pages. If this is indeed the intended
behavior, which I doubt because it breaks cache cleaning on some ARM
systems, then the nomenclature is highly problematic.This patch makes sure PageHead is only true for head pages and PageTail
is only true for tail pages, and neither is true for non-compound pages.[ This buglet seems ancient - seems to have been introduced back in Apr
2008 in commit 6a1e7f777f61: "pageflags: convert to the use of new
macros". And the reason nobody noticed is because the PageHead()
tests are almost all about just sanity-checking, and only used on
pages that are actual page heads. The fact that the old code returned
true for tail pages too was thus not really noticeable. - Linus ]Signed-off-by: Christoffer Dall

Add standard #defines for the Supported Link Speeds field in the PCIe
Link Capabilities register.Note that prior to PCIe spec r3.0, these encodings were defined:
0001b 2.5GT/s Link speed supported
0010b 5.0GT/s and 2.5GT/s Link speed supportedStarting with spec r3.0, these encodings refer to bits 0 and 1 in the
Supported Link Speeds Vector in the Link Capabilities 2 register, and bits
0 and 1 there mean 2.5 GT/s and 5.0 GT/s, respectively. Therefore, code
that followed r2.0 and interpreted 0x1 as 2.5GT/s and 0x2 as 5.0GT/s will
continue to work, and we can identify a device using the new encodings
because it will have a non-zero Link Capabilities 2 register.Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas

Oleg pointed out that in a pid namespace the sequence.
- pid 1 becomes a zombie
- setns(thepidns), fork,...
- reaping pid 1.
- The injected processes exiting.Can lead to processes attempting access their child reaper and
instead following a stale pointer.That waitpid for init can return before all of the processes in
the pid namespace have exited is also unfortunate.Avoid these problems by disabling the allocation of new pids in a pid
namespace when init dies, instead of when the last process in a pid
namespace is reaped.Pointed-out-by: Oleg Nesterov

We cannot wait for transaction commit in journal_unmap_buffer()
because we hold page lock which ranks below transaction start. We
solve the issue by bailing out of journal_unmap_buffer() and
jbd2_journal_invalidatepage() with -EBUSY. Caller is then responsible
for waiting for transaction commit to finish and try invalidation
again. Since the issue can happen only for page stradding i_size, it
is simple enough to manually call jbd2_journal_invalidatepage() for
such page from ext4_setattr(), check the return value and wait if
necessary.Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

Pull signal handling cleanups from Al Viro:
"sigaltstack infrastructure + conversion for x86, alpha and um,
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE infrastructure.Note that there are several conflicts between "unify
SS_ONSTACK/SS_DISABLE definitions" and UAPI patches in mainline;
resolution is trivial - just remove definitions of SS_ONSTACK and
SS_DISABLED from arch/*/uapi/asm/signal.h; they are all identical and
include/uapi/linux/signal.h contains the unified variant."Fixed up conflicts as per Al.
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal:
alpha: switch to generic sigaltstack
new helpers: __save_altstack/__compat_save_altstack, switch x86 and um to those
generic compat_sys_sigaltstack()
introduce generic sys_sigaltstack(), switch x86 and um to it
new helper: compat_user_stack_pointer()
new helper: restore_altstack()
unify SS_ONSTACK/SS_DISABLE definitions
new helper: current_user_stack_pointer()
missing user_stack_pointer() instances

Commit 263a523d18bc ("linux/kernel.h: Fix warning seen with W=1 due to
change in DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST") fixes a warning seen with W=1 due to
change in DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST.Unfortunately, the C compiler converts divide operations with unsigned
divisors to unsigned, even if the dividend is signed and negative (for
example, -10 / 5U = 858993457). The C standard says "If one operand has
unsigned int type, the other operand is converted to unsigned int", so
the compiler is not to blame. As a result, DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(0, 2U) and
similar operations now return bad values, since the automatic conversion
of expressions such as "0 - 2U/2" to unsigned was not taken into
account.Fix by checking for the divisor variable type when deciding which
operation to perform. This fixes DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(0, 2U), but still
returns bad values for negative dividends divided by unsigned divisors.
Mark the latter case as unsupported.One observed effect of this problem is that the s2c_hwmon driver reports
a value of 4198403 instead of 0 if the ADC reads 0.Other impact is unpredictable. Problem is seen if the divisor is an
unsigned variable or constant and the dividend is less than (divisor/2).Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck

If a series of scripts are executed, each triggering module loading via
unprintable bytes in the script header, kernel stack contents can leak
into the command line.Normally execution of binfmt_script and binfmt_misc happens recursively.
However, when modules are enabled, and unprintable bytes exist in the
bprm->buf, execution will restart after attempting to load matching
binfmt modules. Unfortunately, the logic in binfmt_script and
binfmt_misc does not expect to get restarted. They leave bprm->interp
pointing to their local stack. This means on restart bprm->interp is
left pointing into unused stack memory which can then be copied into the
userspace argv areas.After additional study, it seems that both recursion and restart remains
the desirable way to handle exec with scripts, misc, and modules. As
such, we need to protect the changes to interp.This changes the logic to require allocation for any changes to the
bprm->interp. To avoid adding a new kmalloc to every exec, the default
value is left as-is. Only when passing through binfmt_script or
binfmt_misc does an allocation take place.For a proof of concept, see DoTest.sh from:

This function is expected to be called from path-based syscalls to help
them decide whether to try the lookup and call again in the event that
they got an -ESTALE return back on an earier try.Currently, we only retry the call once on an ESTALE error, but in the
event that we decide that that's not enough in the future, we should be
able to change the logic in this helper without too much effort.Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton
