Currently if DEBUG_MUTEXES is enabled, the mutex->owner field is only
cleared iff debug_locks is active. This exposes a race to other users of
the field where the mutex->owner may be still set to a stale value,
potentially upsetting mutex_spin_on_owner() among others.References: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87955

According to global EDF, tasks should be migrated between runqueues
without checking if their scheduling deadlines and runtimes are valid.
However, SCHED_DEADLINE currently performs such a check:
a migration happens doing:deactivate_task(rq, next_task, 0);
set_task_cpu(next_task, later_rq->cpu);
activate_task(later_rq, next_task, 0);which ends up calling dequeue_task_dl(), setting the new CPU, and then
calling enqueue_task_dl().enqueue_task_dl() then calls enqueue_dl_entity(), which calls
update_dl_entity(), which can modify scheduling deadline and runtime,
breaking global EDF scheduling.As a result, some of the properties of global EDF are not respected:
for example, a taskset {(30, 80), (40, 80), (120, 170)} scheduled on
two cores can have unbounded response times for the third task even
if 30/80+40/80+120/170 = 1.5809 < 2This can be fixed by invoking update_dl_entity() only in case of
wakeup, or if this is a new SCHED_DEADLINE task.Signed-off-by: Luca Abeni

"One audit patch to resolve a panic/oops when recording filenames in

only affect users who have configured audit rules involving file

this suck less, but in the meantime I think this fix should go into
the next release of v3.19-rcX.[ https://marc.info/?t=141986927600001&r=1&w=2 ]"

Unfortunately, while commit 4a928436 ("audit: correctly record file
names with different path name types") fixed a problem where we were
not recording filenames, it created a new problem by attempting to use
these file names after they had been freed. This patch resolves the
issue by creating a copy of the filename which the audit subsystem
frees after it is done with the string.At some point it would be nice to resolve this issue with refcounts,
or something similar, instead of having to allocate/copy strings, but
that is almost surely beyond the scope of a -rcX patch so we'll defer
that for later. On the plus side, only audit users should be impacted
by the string copying.Reported-by: Toralf Foerster

Netlink families can exist in multiple namespaces, and for the most
part multicast subscriptions are per network namespace. Thus it only
makes sense to have bind/unbind notifications per network namespace.To achieve this, pass the network namespace of a given client socket
to the bind/unbind functions.Also do this in generic netlink, and there also make sure that any
bind for multicast groups that only exist in init_net is rejected.
This isn't really a problem if it is accepted since a client in a
different namespace will never receive any notifications from such
a group, but it can confuse the family if not rejected (it's also
possible to silently (without telling the family) accept it, but it
would also have to be ignored on unbind so families that take any
kind of action on bind/unbind won't do unnecessary work for invalid
clients like that.Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

Pull audit fixes from Paul Moore:
"Four patches to fix various problems with the audit subsystem, all are
fairly small and straightforward.One patch fixes a problem where we weren't using the correct gfp
allocation flags (GFP_KERNEL regardless of context, oops), one patch
fixes a problem with old userspace tools (this was broken for a
while), one patch fixes a problem where we weren't recording pathnames
correctly, and one fixes a problem with PID based filters.In general I don't think there is anything controversial with this
patchset, and it fixes some rather unfortunate bugs; the allocation
flag one can be particularly scary looking for users"* 'upstream' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit:

audit: correctly record file names with different path name types
audit: use supplied gfp_mask from audit_buffer in kauditd_send_multicast_skb
audit: don't attempt to lookup PIDs when changing PID filtering audit rules -
A regression was caused by commit 780a7654cee8:
audit: Make testing for a valid loginuid explicit.
(which in turn attempted to fix a regression caused by e1760bd)When audit_krule_to_data() fills in the rules to get a listing, there was a
missing clause to convert back from AUDIT_LOGINUID_SET to AUDIT_LOGINUID.This broke userspace by not returning the same information that was sent and
expected.The rule:
auditctl -a exit,never -F auid=-1
gives:
auditctl -l
LIST_RULES: exit,never f24=0 syscall=all
when it should give:
LIST_RULES: exit,never auid=-1 (0xffffffff) syscall=allTag it so that it is reported the same way it was set. Create a new
private flags audit_krule field (pflags) to store it that won't interact with
the public one from the API.Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v3.10-rc1+

There is a problem with the audit system when multiple audit records
are created for the same path, each with a different path name type.
The root cause of the problem is in __audit_inode() when an exact
match (both the path name and path name type) is not found for a
path name record; the existing code creates a new path name record,
but it never sets the path name in this record, leaving it NULL.
This patch corrects this problem by assigning the path name to these
newly created records.There are many ways to reproduce this problem, but one of the
easiest is the following (assuming auditd is running):# mkdir /root/tmp/test
# touch /root/tmp/test/567
# auditctl -a always,exit -F dir=/root/tmp/test
# touch /root/tmp/test/567Afterwards, or while the commands above are running, check the audit
log and pay special attention to the PATH records. A faulty kernel
will display something like the following for the file creation:type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1416957442.025:93): arch=c000003e syscall=2
success=yes exit=3 ... comm="touch" exe="/usr/bin/touch"

type=PATH msg=audit(1416957442.025:93): item=2 name=(null)
inode=393804 ... nametype=NORMALWhile a patched kernel will show the following:

success=yes exit=3 ... comm="touch" exe="/usr/bin/touch"

namespace") introduced a find_vpid() call when adding/removing audit
rules with PID/PPID filters; unfortunately this is problematic as
find_vpid() only works if there is a task with the associated PID
alive on the system. The following commands demonstrate a simple
reproducer.# auditctl -D
# auditctl -l
# autrace /bin/true
# auditctl -lThis patch resolves the problem by simply using the PID provided by
the user without any additional validation, e.g. no calls to check to

commit 4dbd27711cd9 "tick: export nohz tick idle symbols for module
use" was merged via the thermal tree without an explicit ack from the
relevant maintainers.The exports are abused by the intel powerclamp driver which implements
a fake idle state from a sched FIFO task. This causes all kinds of
wreckage in the NOHZ core code which rightfully assumes that
tick_nohz_idle_enter/exit() are only called from the idle task itself.Recent changes in the NOHZ core lead to a failure of the powerclamp
driver and now people try to hack completely broken and backwards
workarounds into the NOHZ core code. This is completely unacceptable
and just papers over the real problem. There are way more subtle
issues lurking around the corner.The real solution is to fix the powerclamp driver by rewriting it with
a sane concept, but that's beyond the scope of this.So the only solution for now is to remove the calls into the core NOHZ
code from the powerclamp trainwreck along with the exports.Fixes: d6d71ee4a14a "PM: Introduce Intel PowerClamp Driver"

framework, continuation of CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME elimination, a couple of
minor intel_pstate driver changes, a new MAINTAINERS entry for it and
an ACPI fan driver change needed for better support of thermal
management in user space.Specifics:
- Fix a regression in leds-gpio introduced by a recent commit that
inadvertently changed the name of one of the properties used by the
driver (Fabio Estevam).- Fix a regression in the ACPI backlight driver introduced by a
recent fix that missed one special case that had to be taken into
account (Aaron Lu).- Drop the level of some new kernel messages from the ACPI core
introduced by a recent commit to KERN_DEBUG which they should have
used from the start and drop some other unuseful KERN_ERR messages
printed by ACPI (Rafael J Wysocki).- Revert an incorrect commit modifying the cpupower tool (Prarit
Bhargava).- Fix two regressions introduced by recent commits in the OPP library

one, because some new uses of it have been introduced during the
current merge window, but that should be sufficient to finally get
rid of it.- Make the ACPI EC driver more robust against race conditions related
to GPE handler installation failures (Lv Zheng).- Prevent the ACPI device PM core code from attempting to disable

for it (Kristen Carlson Accardi).- Make the ACPI fan driver create cooling device interfaces witn
names that reflect the IDs of the ACPI device objects they are
associated with, except for "generic" ACPI fans (PNP ID "PNP0C0B").That's necessary for user space thermal management tools to be able

When a module_param is defined without DAC write permissions, it can
still be changed at runtime and updated. Drivers using a 0444 permission
may be surprised that these values can still be changed.For drivers that want to allow updates, any S_IW* flag will set the
"store" function as before. Drivers without S_IW* flags will have the
"store" function unset, unforcing a read-only value. Drivers that wish
neither "store" nor "get" can continue to use "0" for perms to stay out
of sysfs entirely.Old behavior:

Pull user namespace related fixes from Eric Biederman:
"As these are bug fixes almost all of thes changes are marked for
backporting to stable.The first change (implicitly adding MNT_NODEV on remount) addresses a
regression that was created when security issues with unprivileged
remount were closed. I go on to update the remount test to make it
easy to detect if this issue reoccurs.Then there are a handful of mount and umount related fixes.
Then half of the changes deal with the a recently discovered design
bug in the permission checks of gid_map. Unix since the beginning has
allowed setting group permissions on files to less than the user and
other permissions (aka ---rwx---rwx). As the unix permission checks
stop as soon as a group matches, and setgroups allows setting groups
that can not later be dropped, results in a situtation where it is
possible to legitimately use a group to assign fewer privileges to a
process. Which means dropping a group can increase a processes
privileges.The fix I have adopted is that gid_map is now no longer writable
without privilege unless the new file /proc/self/setgroups has been
set to permanently disable setgroups.The bulk of user namespace using applications even the applications
using applications using user namespaces without privilege remain
unaffected by this change. Unfortunately this ix breaks a couple user
space applications, that were relying on the problematic behavior (one
of which was tools/selftests/mount/unprivileged-remount-test.c).To hopefully prevent needing a regression fix on top of my security
fix I rounded folks who work with the container implementations mostly
like to be affected and encouraged them to test the changes.> So far nothing broke on my libvirt-lxc test bed. :-)

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"As the merge window is still open, and this code was not as complex as
I thought it might be. I'm pushing this in now.This will allow Thomas to debug his irq work for 3.20.
This adds two new features:
1) Allow traceopoints to be enabled right after mm_init().
By passing in the trace_event= kernel command line parameter,
tracepoints can be enabled at boot up. For debugging things like
the initialization of interrupts, it is needed to have tracepoints
enabled very early. People have asked about this before and this
has been on my todo list. As it can be helpful for Thomas to debug
his upcoming 3.20 IRQ work, I'm pushing this now. This way he can
add tracepoints into the IRQ set up and have users enable them when
things go wrong.2) Have the tracepoints printed via printk() (the console) when they
are triggered.If the irq code locks up or reboots the box, having the tracepoint
output go into the kernel ring buffer is useless for debugging.
But being able to add the tp_printk kernel command line option
along with the trace_event= option will have these tracepoints
printed as they occur, and that can be really useful for debugging
early lock up or reboot problems.This code is not that intrusive and it passed all my tests. Thomas
tried them out too and it works for his needs.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20141214201609.126831471@goodmis.org"

This is the AMD HSA interface for exposing a lowlevel interface for

Add the kernel command line tp_printk option that will have tracepoints
that are active sent to printk() as well as to the trace buffer.Passing "tp_printk" will activate this. To turn it off, the sysctl
/proc/sys/kernel/tracepoint_printk can have '0' echoed into it. Note,
this only works if the cmdline option is used. Echoing 1 into the sysctl
file without the cmdline option will have no affect.Note, this is a dangerous option. Having high frequency tracepoints send
their data to printk() can possibly cause a live lock. This is another
reason why this is only active if the command line option is used.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.DEB.2.11.1412121539300.16494@nanos

Enabling tracepoints at boot up can be very useful. The tracepoint
can be initialized right after RCU has been. There's no need to
wait for the early_initcall() to be called. That's too late for some
things that can use tracepoints for debugging. Move the logic to
enable tracepoints out of the initcalls and into init/main.c to
right after rcu_init().This also allows trace_printk() to be used early too.
