Revert "x86: linker script syntax nits"
x86, perf_event: Rename 'performance counter interrupt' -
The destination keyring specified to request_key() and co. is made available to
the process that instantiates the key (the slave process started by
/sbin/request-key typically). This is passed in the request_key_auth struct as
the dest_keyring member.keyctl_instantiate_key and keyctl_negate_key() call get_instantiation_keyring()
to get the keyring to attach the newly constructed key to at the end of
instantiation. This may be given a specific keyring into which a link will be
made later, or it may be asked to find the keyring passed to request_key(). In
the former case, it returns a keyring with the refcount incremented by
lookup_user_key(); in the latter case, it returns the keyring from the
request_key_auth struct - and does _not_ increment the refcount.The latter case will eventually result in an oops when the keyring prematurely
runs out of references and gets destroyed. The effect may take some time to
show up as the key is destroyed lazily.To fix this, the keyring returned by get_instantiation_keyring() must always
have its refcount incremented, no matter where it comes from.This can be tested by setting /etc/request-key.conf to:
#OP TYPE DESCRIPTION CALLOUT INFO PROGRAM ARG1 ARG2 ARG3 ...
#====== ======= =============== =============== ===============================
create * test:* * |/bin/false %u %g %d %{user:_display}
negate * * * /bin/keyctl negate %k 10 @uand then doing:
keyctl add user _display aaaaaaaa @u
while keyctl request2 user test:x test:x @u &&
keyctl list @u;
do
keyctl request2 user test:x test:x @u;
sleep 31;
keyctl list @u;
donewhich will oops eventually. Changing the negate line to have @u rather than
%S at the end is important as that forces the latter case by passing a special
keyring ID rather than an actual keyring ID.Reported-by: Alexander Zangerl

Call compat_unimap_ioctl, not do_unimap_ioctl.
This was broken by commit e9216651.
The compat_unimap_ioctl was originally called do_unimap_ioctl in
fs/compat_ioctl.h which got moved to drivers/char/vt_ioctl.c.
In that patch, the caller was not updated and consequently called
the native handler.Signed-off-by: Andreas Schwab

clock24xx.c is missing a omap2_init_clk_clkdm() in its
omap2_clk_init() function. Among other bad effects, this causes the

There is a possible race condition in clockdomain
code handling hw supported idle transitions.When multiple autodeps dependencies are being added
or removed, a transition of still remaining dependent
powerdomain can result in false readings of the
state counter. This is especially fatal for off mode
state counter, as it could result in a driver not
noticing a context loss.Fixed by disabling hw supported state transitions
when autodeps are being changed.Signed-off-by: Kalle Jokiniemi

sysfs_notify_dirent is a simple atomic operation that can be used to
alert user-space that new data can be read from a sysfs attribute.Unfortunately it cannot currently be called from non-process context
because of its use of spin_lock which is sometimes taken with
interrupts enabled.So change all lockers of sysfs_open_dirent_lock to disable interrupts,
thus making sysfs_notify_dirent safe to be called from non-process
context (as drivers/md does in md_safemode_timeout).sysfs_get_open_dirent is (documented as being) only called from
process context, so it uses spin_lock_irq. Other places
use spin_lock_irqsave.The usage for sysfs_notify_dirent in md_safemode_timeout was
introduced in 2.6.28, so this patch is suitable for that and more
recent kernels.Reported-by: Joel Andres Granados
