When invoking syscall handlers on sh32, the saved userspace registers
are at the top of the stack. This seems to have been intentional, as it
is an easy way to pass r0, r1, ... to the handler as parameters 5, 6,
...It causes problems, however, because the compiler is allowed to generate
code for a function which clobbers that function's own parameters. For
example, gcc generates the following code for clone::
mov.l 8c020714 ,r1 ! 8c020540
mov.l r7,@r15
mov r6,r7
jmp @r1
mov #0,r6
nop
.word 0x0540
.word 0x8c02The `mov.l r7,@r15` clobbers the saved value of r0 passed from
userspace. For most system calls, this might not be a problem, because
we'll be overwriting r0 with the return value anyway. But in the case
of clone, copy_thread will need the original value of r0 if the
CLONE_SETTLS flag was specified.The first patch in this series fixes this issue for system calls by
pushing to the stack and extra copy of r0-r2 before invoking the
handler. We discard this copy before restoring the userspace registers,
so it is not a problem if they are clobbered.Exception handlers also receive the userspace register values in a
similar manner, and may hit the same problem. The second patch removes
the do_fpu_error handler, which looks susceptible to this problem and
which, as far as I can tell, has not been used in some time. The third
patch addresses other exception handlers.This patch (of 3):
The userspace registers are stored at the top of the stack when the
syscall handler is invoked, which allows r0-r2 to act as parameters 5-7.
Parameters passed on the stack may be clobbered by the syscall handler.
The solution is to push an extra copy of the registers which might be
used as syscall parameters to the stack, so that the authoritative set
of saved register values does not get clobbered.A few system call handlers are also updated to get the userspace
registers using current_pt_regs() instead of from the stack.Signed-off-by: Bobby Bingham

Recent increased use of typeof() throughout the tree resulted in a
number of symbols (25 in a typical distro config of ours) not getting a
proper CRC calculated for them anymore, due to the parser in genksyms
not coping with several of these uses (interestingly in the majority of
[if not all] cases the problem is due to the use of typeof() in code
preceding a certain export, not in the declaration/definition of the
exported function/object itself; I wasn't able to find a way to address
this more general parser shortcoming).The use of parameter_declaration is a little more relaxed than would be
ideal (permitting not just a bare type specification, but also one with
identifier), but since the same code is being passed through an actual
compiler, there's no apparent risk of allowing through any broken code.Otoh using parameter_declaration instead of the ad hoc
"decl_specifier_seq '*'" / "decl_specifier_seq" pair allows all types to
be handled rather than just plain ones and pointers to plain ones.Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich

Move code moving event structure to access_list from copy_event_to_user()
to fanotify_read() where it is more logical (so that we can immediately
see in the main loop that we either move the event to a different list
or free it). Also move special error handling for permission events
from copy_event_to_user() to the main loop to have it in one place with
error handling for normal events. This makes copy_event_to_user()
really only copy the event to user without any side effects.Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds -
Currently, fanotify creates new structure to track the fact that
permission event has been reported to userspace and someone is waiting
for a response to it. As event structures are now completely in the
hands of each notification framework, we can use the event structure for
this tracking instead of allocating a new structure.Since this makes the event structures for normal events and permission
events even more different and the structures have different lifetime
rules, we split them into two separate structures (where permission
event structure contains the structure for a normal event). This makes
normal events 8 bytes smaller and the code a tad bit cleaner.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix build]

The prepare_for_access_response() function checks whether
group->fanotify_data.bypass_perm is set. However this test can never be
true because prepare_for_access_response() is called only from
fanotify_read() which means fanotify group is alive with an active fd
while bypass_perm is set from fanotify_release() when all file
descriptors pointing to the group are closed and the group is going
away.Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

In the presence of memoryless nodes, numa_node_id() will return the
current CPU's NUMA node, but that may not be where we expect to allocate
from memory from. Instead, we should rely on the fallback code in the
memory allocator itself, by using NUMA_NO_NODE. Also, when calling
kthread_create_on_node(), use the nearest node with memory to the cpu in
question, rather than the node it is running on.Signed-off-by: Nishanth Aravamudan

After commit 839a8e8660b6 ("writeback: replace custom worker pool
implementation with unbound workqueue") when device is removed while we
are writing to it we crash in bdi_writeback_workfn() ->
set_worker_desc() because bdi->dev is NULL.This can happen because even though bdi_unregister() cancels all pending
flushing work, nothing really prevents new ones from being queued from
balance_dirty_pages() or other places.Fix the problem by clearing BDI_registered bit in bdi_unregister() and
checking it before scheduling of any flushing work.Fixes: 839a8e8660b6777e7fe4e80af1a048aebe2b5977

bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed() used the mod_delayed_work() function to
schedule work to writeback dirty inodes. The problem with this is that
it can delay work that is scheduled for immediate execution, such as the
work from sync_inodes_sb(). This can happen since mod_delayed_work()
can now steal work from a work_queue. This fixes the problem by using
queue_delayed_work() instead. This is a regression caused by commit
839a8e8660b6 ("writeback: replace custom worker pool implementation with
unbound workqueue").The reason that this causes a problem is that laptop-mode will change
the delay, dirty_writeback_centisecs, to 60000 (10 minutes) by default.
In the case that bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed() races with
sync_inodes_sb(), sync will be stopped for 10 minutes and trigger a hung
task. Even if dirty_writeback_centisecs is not long enough to cause a
hung task, we still don't want to delay sync for that long.We fix the problem by using queue_delayed_work() when we want to
schedule writeback sometime in future. This function doesn't change the
timer if it is already armed.For the same reason, we also change bdi_writeback_workfn() to
immediately queue the work again in the case that the work_list is not
empty. The same problem can happen if the sync work is run on the
rescue worker.[jack@suse.cz: update changelog, add comment, use bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed()]

Pull powerpc non-virtualized cpuidle from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"This is the branch I mentioned in my other pull request which contains
our improved cpuidle support for the "powernv" platform
(non-virtualized).It adds support for the "fast sleep" feature of the processor which
provides higher power savings than our usual "nap" mode but at the
cost of losing the timers while asleep, and thus exploits the new
timer broadcast framework to work around that limitation.It's based on a tip timer tree that you seem to have already merged"

Pull main powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"This time around, the powerpc merges are going to be a little bit more
complicated than usual.This is the main pull request with most of the work for this merge
window. I will describe it a bit more further down.There is some additional cpuidle driver work, however I haven't
included it in this tree as it depends on some work in tip/timer-core
which Thomas accidentally forgot to put in a topic branch. Since I
didn't want to carry all of that tip timer stuff in powerpc -next, I
setup a separate branch on top of Thomas tree with just that cpuidle
driver in it, and Stephen has been carrying that in next separately
for a while now. I'll send a separate pull request for it.Additionally, two new pieces in this tree add users for a sysfs API
that Tejun and Greg have been deprecating in drivers-core-next.
Thankfully Greg reverted the patch that removes the old API so this
merge can happen cleanly, but once merged, I will send a patch
adjusting our new code to the new API so that Greg can send you the
removal patch.Now as for the content of this branch, we have a lot of perf work for
power8 new counters including support for our new "nest" counters
(also called 24x7) under pHyp (not natively yet).We have new functionality when running under the OPAL firmware
(non-virtualized or KVM host), such as access to the firmware error
logs and service processor dumps, system parameters and sensors, along
with a hwmon driver for the latter.There's also a bunch of bug fixes accross the board, some LE fixes,
and a nice set of selftests for validating our various types of copy
loops.On the Freescale side, we see mostly new chip/board revisions, some
clock updates, better support for machine checks and debug exceptions,
etc..."* 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: (70 commits)

"Despite the branch name this is really neither an x86 nor an
x32-specific patchset, although it the implementation of the
discussions that followed the x32 security hole a few months ago.This removes get/put_compat_timespec/val() and replaces them with
compat_get/put_timespec/val() which are savvy as to the current status
of COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME.It removes several unused and/or incorrect/misleading functions (like
compat_put_timeval_convert which doesn't in fact do any conversion)

Pull x86 vdso changes from Peter Anvin:
"This is the revamp of the 32-bit vdso and the associated cleanups.This adds timekeeping support to the 32-bit vdso that we already have
in the 64-bit vdso. Although 32-bit x86 is legacy, it is likely to
remain in the embedded space for a very long time to come.This removes the traditional COMPAT_VDSO support; the configuration
variable is reused for simply removing the 32-bit vdso, which will
produce correct results but obviously suffer a performance penalty.
Only one beta version of glibc was affected, but that version was
unfortunately included in one OpenSUSE release.This is not the end of the vdso cleanups. Stefani and Andy have
agreed to continue work for the next kernel cycle; in fact Andy has
already produced another set of cleanups that came too late for this
cycle.An incidental, but arguably important, change is that this ensures
that unused space in the VVAR page is properly zeroed. It wasn't
before, and would contain whatever garbage was left in memory by BIOS
or the bootloader. Since the VVAR page is accessible to user space
this had the potential of information leaks"* 'x86-vdso-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (23 commits)

Pull x86 boot changes from Peter Anvin:
"This patchset is a set of cleanups aiming at librarize some of the
common code from the boot environments. We currently have three
different "little environments" (boot, boot/compressed, and
realmode/rm) in x86, and we are likely to soon get a fourth one
(kexec/purgatory, which will have to be integrated in the kernel to
support secure kexec). This is primarily a cleanup in the
anticipation of the latter.While Vivek implemented this, he ran into some bugs, in particular the
memcmp implementation for when gcc punts from using the builtin would
have a misnamed symbol, causing compilation errors if we were ever
unlucky enough that gcc didn't want to inline the test"* 'x86/boot' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
