ftrace_bug() is called]When this race happens, ftrace_bug() will produces a nasty warning and
all of the function tracing features will be disabled until reboot.The simple solution is to treate module load the same way the core
kernel is treated at boot. To hardcode the ftrace function modification
of converting calls to mcount into nops. This is done in init/main.c
there's no reason it could not be done in load_module(). This gives
a better control of the changes and doesn't tie the state of the
module to its notifiers as much. Ftrace is special, it needs to be
treated as such.The reason this would work, is that the ftrace_module_init() would be
called while the module is in MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED, which is ignored
by the set_all_module_text_ro() call.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1395637826-3312-1-git-send-email-indou.takao@jp.fujitsu.com

The IPMI driver would wake up periodically looking for events and
watchdog pretimeouts. If there is nothing waiting for these events,
it's really kind of pointless to be checking for them. So modify the
driver so the message handler can pass down if it needs the lower layer
to be waiting for these. Modify the system interface lower layer to
turn off all timer and thread activity if the upper layer doesn't need
anything and it is not currently handling messages. And modify the
message handler to not restart the timer if its timer is not needed.The timers and kthread will still be enabled if:
- the SI interface is handling a message.
- a user has enabled watching for events.
- the IPMI watchdog timer is in use (since it uses pretimeouts).
- the message handler is waiting on a remote response.
- a user has registered to receive commands.This mostly affects interfaces without interrupts. Interfaces with
interrupts already don't use CPU in the system interface when the
interface is idle.Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard

This commit adds the necessary definitions for the PHY layer to
recognize "qsgmii" as a valid PHY interface. A QSMII interface, as
defined at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Independent_Interface#Quad_Serial_Gigabit_Media_Independent_Interface,
is "is a method of combining four SGMII lines into a 5Gbit/s
interface. QSGMII, like SGMII, uses LVDS signalling for the TX and RX
data and a single LVDS clock signal. QSGMII uses significantly fewer
signal lines than four SGMII busses."This type of MAC PHY connection might require special handling on
the MAC driver side, so it should be possible to express this type of
MAC PHY connection, for example in the Device Tree.Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

Steve reported a reboot hang and bisected it back to this commit:
a4f1987e4c54 x86, reboot: Add EFI and CF9 reboot methods into the default list
He heroically tested all reboot methods and found the following:
reboot=t # triple fault ok
reboot=k # keyboard ctrl FAIL
reboot=b # BIOS ok
reboot=a # ACPI FAIL
reboot=e # EFI FAIL [system has no EFI]
reboot=p # PCI 0xcf9 FAILAnd I think it's pretty obvious that we should only try PCI 0xcf9 as a
last resort - if at all.The other observation is that (on this box) we should never try
the PCI reboot method, but close with either the 'triple fault'
or the 'BIOS' (terminal!) reboot methods.Thirdly, CF9_COND is a total misnomer - it should be something like
CF9_SAFE or CF9_CAREFUL, and 'CF9' should be 'CF9_FORCE' ...So this patch fixes the worst problems:
- it orders the actual reboot logic to follow the reboot ordering
pattern - it was in a pretty random order before for no good
reason.- it fixes the CF9 misnomers and uses BOOT_CF9_FORCE and
BOOT_CF9_SAFE flags to make the code more obvious.- it tries the BIOS reboot method before the PCI reboot method.
(Since 'BIOS' is a terminal reboot method resulting in a hang
if it does not work, this is essentially equivalent to removing
the PCI reboot method from the default reboot chain.)- just for the miraculous possibility of terminal (resulting
in hang) reboot methods of triple fault or BIOS returning
without having done their job, there's an ordering between
them as well.Reported-and-bisected-and-tested-by: Steven Rostedt

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

from Patrick McHardy.4) Properly limit MTU over ipv6, from Eric Dumazet.
5) Fix seccomp system call argument population on 32-bit, from Daniel
Borkmann.6) skb_network_protocol() should not use hard-coded ETH_HLEN, instead
skb->mac_len needs to be used. From Vlad Yasevich.7) We have several cases of using socket based communications to
implement a tunnel. For example, some tunnels are encapsulations
over UDP so we use an internal kernel UDP socket to do the
transmits.These tunnels should behave just like other software devices and
pass the packets on down to the next layer.Most importantly we want the top-level socket (eg TCP) that created
the traffic to be charged for the SKB memory.However, once you get into the IP output path, we have code that
assumed that whatever was attached to skb->sk is an IP socket.To keep the top-level socket being charged for the SKB memory,
whilst satisfying the needs of the IP output path, we now pass in an
explicit 'sk' argument.From Eric Dumazet.
8) ping_init_sock() leaks group info, from Xiaoming Wang.

While reviewing seccomp code, we found that BPF_S_ANC_SECCOMP_LD_W has
been wrongly decoded by commit a8fc927780 ("sk-filter: Add ability to
get socket filter program (v2)") into the opcode BPF_LD|BPF_B|BPF_ABS
although it should have been decoded as BPF_LD|BPF_W|BPF_ABS.In practice, this should not have much side-effect though, as such
conversion is/was being done through prctl(2) PR_SET_SECCOMP. Reverse
operation PR_GET_SECCOMP will only return the current seccomp mode, but
not the filter itself. Since the transition to the new BPF infrastructure,
it's also not used anymore, so we can simply remove this as it's
unreachable.Fixes: a8fc927780 ("sk-filter: Add ability to get socket filter program (v2)")

the skb is added to the receive queue it can be consumed in another

Pull more tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"This includes the final patch to clean up and fix the issue with the
design of tracepoints and how a user could register a tracepoint and
have that tracepoint not be activated but no error was shown.The design was for an out of tree module but broke in tree users. The
clean up was to remove the saving of the hash table of tracepoint
names such that they can be enabled before they exist (enabling a
module tracepoint before that module is loaded). This added more
complexity than needed. The clean up was to remove that code and just
enable tracepoints that exist or fail if they do not.This removed a lot of code as well as the complexity that it brought.
As a side effect, instead of registering a tracepoint by its name, the
tracepoint needs to be registered with the tracepoint descriptor.
This removes having to duplicate the tracepoint names that are
enabled.The second patch was added that simplified the way modules were
searched for.This cleanup required changes that were in the 3.15 queue as well as
some changes that were added late in the 3.14-rc cycle. This final
change waited till the two were merged in upstream and then the change
was added and full tests were run. Unfortunately, the test found some
errors, but after it was already submitted to the for-next branch and
not to be rebased. Sparse errors were detected by Fengguang Wu's bot
tests, and my internal tests discovered that the anonymous union
initialization triggered a bug in older gcc compilers. Luckily, there
was a bugzilla for the gcc bug which gave a work around to the
problem. The third and fourth patch handled the sparse error and the
gcc bug respectively.A final patch was tagged along to fix a missing documentation for the
README file"* tag 'trace-3.15-v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
tracing: Add missing function triggers dump and cpudump to README
tracing: Fix anonymous unions in struct ftrace_event_call
tracepoint: Fix sparse warnings in tracepoint.c
tracepoint: Simplify tracepoint module search
tracepoint: Use struct pointer instead of name hash for reg/unreg tracepoints -

Several spots in the kernel perform a sequence like:
skb_queue_tail(&sk->s_receive_queue, skb);
sk->sk_data_ready(sk, skb->len);But at the moment we place the SKB onto the socket receive queue it
can be consumed and freed up. So this skb->len access is potentially
to freed up memory.Furthermore, the skb->len can be modified by the consumer so it is
possible that the value isn't accurate.And finally, no actual implementation of this callback actually uses
the length argument. And since nobody actually cared about it's
value, lots of call sites pass arbitrary values in such as '0' and
even '1'.So just remove the length argument from the callback, that way there
is no confusion whatsoever and all of these use-after-free cases get
fixed as a side effect.Based upon a patch by Eric Dumazet and his suggestion to audit this
issue tree-wide.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

'struct page' has two list_head fields: 'lru' and 'list'. Conveniently,
they are unioned together. This means that code can use them
interchangably, which gets horribly confusing like with this nugget from
slab.c:> list_del(&page->lru);
> if (page->active == cachep->num)
> list_add(&page->list, &n->slabs_full);This patch makes the slab and slub code use page->lru universally instead
of mixing ->list and ->lru.So, the new rule is: page->lru is what the you use if you want to keep
your page on a list. Don't like the fact that it's not called ->list?

On systems with CONFIG_COMPAT we introduced the new requirement that
audit_classify_compat_syscall() exists. This wasn't true for everything
(apparently not for "tilegx", which I know less that nothing about.)Instead of wrapping the preprocessor optomization with CONFIG_COMPAT we
should have used the new CONFIG_AUDIT_COMPAT_GENERIC. This patch uses
that config option to make sure only arches which intend to implement
this have the requirement.This works fine for tilegx according to Chris Metcalf

For commands returned with failed status, queue these for resubmission
and continue retrying them until success or for a limited amount of
time. The final timeout was arbitrarily chosen so requests can't be
retried indefinitely.Since these are requeued on the nvmeq that submitted the command, the
callbacks have to take an nvmeq instead of an nvme_dev as a parameter
so that we can use the locked queue to append the iod to retry later.The nvme_iod conviently can be used to track how long we've been trying
to successfully complete an iod request. The nvme_iod also provides the
nvme prp dma mappings, so I had to move a few things around so we can
keep those mappings.Signed-off-by: Keith Busch

Registers with hot cpu notification to rebalance, and potentially allocate

Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox -
The device's IO queues are associated with CPUs, so we can use a per-cpu
variable to map the a qid to a cpu. This provides a convienient way
to optimally assign queues to multiple cpus when the device supports
fewer queues than the host has cpus. The previous implementation may
have assigned these poorly in these situations. This patch addresses
this by sharing queues among cpus that are "close" together and should
have a lower lock contention penalty.Signed-off-by: Keith Busch
