A recent flurry of bug discoveries in the nfit driver's DSM marshalling
routine has highlighted the fact that we do not have unit test coverage
for this routine. Add a self-test of acpi_nfit_ctl() routine before
probing the "nfit_test.0" device. This mocks stimulus to acpi_nfit_ctl()
and if any of the tests fail "nfit_test.0" will be unavailable causing
the rest of the tests to not run / fail.This unit test will also be a place to land reproductions of quirky BIOS
behavior discovered in the field and ensure the kernel does not regress
against implementations it has seen in practice.Signed-off-by: Dan Williams

There are four cases I can see where we could end up with a NULL 'slot' in
radix_tree_next_slot(). This unit test exercises all four of them, making
sure that if in the future we have an unsafe path through
radix_tree_next_slot(), we'll catch it.Here are details on the four cases:
1) radix_tree_iter_retry() via a non-tagged iteration like
radix_tree_for_each_slot(). In this case we currently aren't seeing a bug
because radix_tree_iter_retry() setsiter->next_index = iter->index;
which means that in in the else case in radix_tree_next_slot(), 'count' is
zero, so we skip over the while() loop and effectively just return NULL
without ever dereferencing 'slot'.2) radix_tree_iter_retry() via tagged iteration like
radix_tree_for_each_tagged(). This case was giving us NULL pointer
dereferences in testing, and was fixed with this commit:commit 3cb9185c6730 ("radix-tree: fix radix_tree_iter_retry() for tagged
iterators.")This fix doesn't explicitly check for 'slot' being NULL, though, it works
around the NULL pointer dereference by instead zeroing iter->tags in
radix_tree_iter_retry(), which makes us bail out of the if() case in
radix_tree_next_slot() before we dereference 'slot'.3) radix_tree_iter_next() via via a non-tagged iteration like
radix_tree_for_each_slot(). This currently happens in shmem_tag_pins()
and shmem_partial_swap_usage().As with non-tagged iteration, 'count' in the else case of
radix_tree_next_slot() is zero, so we skip over the while() loop and
effectively just return NULL without ever dereferencing 'slot'.4) radix_tree_iter_next() via tagged iteration like
radix_tree_for_each_tagged(). This happens in shmem_wait_for_pins().radix_tree_iter_next() zeros out iter->tags, so we end up exiting
radix_tree_next_slot() here:if (flags & RADIX_TREE_ITER_TAGGED) {
void *canon = slot;iter->tags >>= 1;
if (unlikely(!iter->tags))
return NULL;Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160815194237.25967-3-ross.zwisler@linux.intel.com

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"Aside from the recently added pmem sub-division support these have
been in -next for several releases with no reported issues. The sub-
division support was included in next-20161010 with no reported
issues. It passes all unit tests including new tests for all the new
functionality below.Summary:
- PMEM sub-division support: Allow a single PMEM region to be divided
into multiple namespaces. Originally, ~2 years ago, it was thought
that partitions of a /dev/pmemX block device could handle
sub-allocations of persistent memory for different use cases. With
the decision to not support DAX mappings of raw block-devices, and
the genesis of device-dax, the need for having multiple
pmem-namespace per region has grown.- Device-DAX unified inode: In support of dynamic-resizing of a
device-dax instance the kernel arranges for all mappings of a
device-dax node to share the same inode. This allows unmap /
truncate / invalidation events to affect all instances of the
device similar to the behavior of mmap on block devices.- Hardware error scrubbing reworks: The original address-range-scrub
and badblocks tracking solution allowed clearing entries at the
individual namespace level, but it failed to clear the internal
list of media errors maintained at the bus level. The result was
that the next scrub or namespace disable/re-enable event would
restore the cleared badblocks, but now that is fixed. The v4.8
kernel introduced an auto-scrub-on-machine-check behavior to
repopulate the badblocks list. Now, in v4.9, the auto-scrub
behavior can be disabled and simply arrange for the error reported
in the machine-check to be added to the list.- DIMM health-event notification support: ACPI 6.1 defines a
notification event code that can be send to ACPI NVDIMM devices. A
poll(2) capable file descriptor for these events can be obtained
from the nmemX/nfit/flags sysfs-attribute of a libnvdimm memory
device.- Miscellaneous fixes: NVDIMM-N probe error, device-dax build error,
and a change to dedup the flush hint list to not flush the memory
controller more than necessary"* tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: (39 commits)

Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
"This set of changes is a number of smaller things that have been
overlooked in other development cycles focused on more fundamental
change. The devpts changes are small things that were a distraction
until we managed to kill off DEVPTS_MULTPLE_INSTANCES. There is an
trivial regression fix to autofs for the unprivileged mount changes
that went in last cycle. A pair of ioctls has been added by Andrey
Vagin making it is possible to discover the relationships between
namespaces when referring to them through file descriptors.The big user visible change is starting to add simple resource limits
to catch programs that misbehave. With namespaces in general and user
namespaces in particular allowing users to use more kinds of
resources, it has become important to have something to limit errant
programs. Because the purpose of these limits is to catch errant
programs the code needs to be inexpensive to use as it always on, and
the default limits need to be high enough that well behaved programs
on well behaved systems don't encounter them.To this end, after some review I have implemented per user per user
namespace limits, and use them to limit the number of namespaces. The
limits being per user mean that one user can not exhause the limits of
another user. The limits being per user namespace allow contexts where
the limit is 0 and security conscious folks can remove from their
threat anlysis the code used to manage namespaces (as they have
historically done as it root only). At the same time the limits being
per user namespace allow other parts of the system to use namespaces.Namespaces are increasingly being used in application sand boxing
scenarios so an all or nothing disable for the entire system for the
security conscious folks makes increasing use of these sandboxes
impossible.There is also added a limit on the maximum number of mounts present in
a single mount namespace. It is nontrivial to guess what a reasonable
system wide limit on the number of mount structure in the kernel would
be, especially as it various based on how a system is using
containers. A limit on the number of mounts in a mount namespace
however is much easier to understand and set. In most cases in
practice only about 1000 mounts are used. Given that some autofs
scenarious have the potential to be 30,000 to 50,000 mounts I have set
the default limit for the number of mounts at 100,000 which is well
above every known set of users but low enough that the mount hash
tables don't degrade unreaonsably.These limits are a start. I expect this estabilishes a pattern that
other limits for resources that namespaces use will follow. There has
been interest in making inotify event limits per user per user
namespace as well as interest expressed in making details about what
is going on in the kernel more visible"* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: (28 commits)

breaks some of our selftests.That is because we symlink the kernel code into the selftest, and shim
the required headers, and we are now missing asm/export.hSo create a minimal export.h to keep the tests building once powerpc and
the kbuild trees are merged.Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

If a thread receives a signal while transactional the kernel creates a
second context to show the transactional state of the process. This
test loads some known values and waits for a signal and confirms that
the expected values are in the signal context.Signed-off-by: Cyril Bur

The FPU regs are placed at the top of the stack frame. Currently the
position expected to be passed to the macro. The macros now should be
passed the stack frame size and from there they can calculate where to
put the regs, this makes the use simpler.Also move them to a header file to be used in an different area of the
powerpc selftestsSigned-off-by: Cyril Bur

Ensure the kernel correctly switches VSX registers correctly. VSX
registers are all volatile, and despite the kernel preserving VSX
across syscalls, it doesn't have to. Test that during interrupts and
timeslices ending the VSX regs remain the same.Signed-off-by: Cyril Bur

Pull CPU hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Yet another batch of cpu hotplug core updates and conversions:- Provide core infrastructure for multi instance drivers so the
drivers do not have to keep custom lists.- Convert custom lists to the new infrastructure. The block-mq custom
list conversion comes through the block tree and makes the diffstat
tip over to more lines removed than added.- Handle unbalanced hotplug enable/disable calls more gracefully.
- Remove the obsolete CPU_STARTING/DYING notifier support.
- Convert another batch of notifier users.
The relayfs changes which conflicted with the conversion have been
shipped to me by Andrew.The remaining lot is targeted for 4.10 so that we finally can remove
the rest of the notifiers"* 'smp-hotplug-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (46 commits)

Pull low-level x86 updates from Ingo Molnar:
"In this cycle this topic tree has become one of those 'super topics'
that accumulated a lot of changes:- Add CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y support to the core kernel and enable it on
x86 - preceded by an array of changes. v4.8 saw preparatory changes
in this area already - this is the rest of the work. Includes the
thread stack caching performance optimization. (Andy Lutomirski)- switch_to() cleanups and all around enhancements. (Brian Gerst)
- A large number of dumpstack infrastructure enhancements and an
unwinder abstraction. The secret long term plan is safe(r) live
patching plus maybe another attempt at debuginfo based unwinding -
but all these current bits are standalone enhancements in a frame
pointer based debug environment as well. (Josh Poimboeuf)- More __ro_after_init and const annotations. (Kees Cook)
- Enable KASLR for the vmemmap memory region. (Thomas Garnier)"

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
- Four fixes for "flush hint" support.
Flush hints are addresses advertised by the ACPI 6+ NFIT (NVDIMM
Firmware Interface Table) that when written and fenced guarantee that
writes pending in platform write buffers (outside the cpu) have been
flushed to media. They might also be used by hypervisors as a
trigger condition to flush guest-persistent memory ranges to storage.Fix a potential data corruption issue, a broken definition of the
hint array, a wrong allocation size for the unit test implementation
of the flush hint table, and missing NULL check in an error path.The unit test, while it did not prevent these bugs from being
merged, at least triggered occasional crashes in advance of
production usages.- Fix handling of ACPI DSM error status results. The DSM mechanism
allows communication with platform and memory device firmware. We
correctly parse known errors, but were silently ignoring others.Fix it to consistently fail any command with a non-zero status return
that we otherwise do not interpret / handle.* 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm:
