Alan Jenkins a1bb7d6123 PM/hibernate: fix "swap breaks after hibernation failures"
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12239

The image writing code dropped a reference to the current swap device.
This doesn't show up if the hibernation succeeds - because it doesn't
affect the image which gets resumed.  But it means multiple _failed_
hibernations end up freeing the swap device while it is still use!

swsusp_write() finds the block device for the swap file using swap_type_of().
It then uses blkdev_get() / blkdev_put() to open and close the block device.

Unfortunately, blkdev_get() assumes ownership of the inode of the block_device
passed to it.  So blkdev_put() calls iput() on the inode.  This is by design
and other callers expect this behaviour.  The fix is for swap_type_of() to take
a reference on the inode using bdget().

Richard Hughes 56f382a087 battery: don't assume we are fully charged when not charging or discharging
On hardware like the T61 it can take a couple of seconds for the battery
to start charging after the power is connected, and we incorrectly tell
userspace that we are fully charged, and then go back to charging.

Only mark a battery as fully charged when the preset charge matches either
the last full charge, or the design charge.

Theodore Ts'o 05bf9e839d ext4: Add fallback for find_group_flex
This is a workaround for find_group_flex() which badly needs to be
replaced.  One of its problems (besides ignoring the Orlov algorithm)
is that it is a bit hyperactive about returning failure under
suspicious circumstances.  This can lead to spurious ENOSPC failures
even when there are inodes still available.

Work around this for now by retrying the search using
find_group_other() if find_group_flex() returns -1.  If
find_group_other() succeeds when find_group_flex() has failed, log a
warning message.

A better block/inode allocator that will fix this problem for real has
been queued up for the next merge window.

Checkin 6ec68bff3c81e776a455f6aca95c8c5f1d630198:
    x86, mce: reinitialize per cpu features on resume

introduced a call to mce_cpu_features() in the resume path, in order
for the MCE machinery to get properly reinitialized after a resume.
However, this function (and its successors) was flagged __cpuinit,
which becomes __init on UP configurations (on SMP suspend/resume
requires CPU hotplug and so this would not be seen.)

Remove the offending __cpuinit annotations for mce_cpu_features() and
its successor functions.

Steve French eca6acf915 [CIFS] Fix multiuser mounts so server does not invalidate earlier security contexts
When two different users mount the same Windows 2003 Server share using CIFS,
the first session mounted can be invalidated.  Some servers invalidate the first
smb session when a second similar user (e.g. two users who get mapped by server to "guest")
authenticates an smb session from the same client.

By making sure that we set the 2nd and subsequent vc numbers to nonzero values,
this ensures that we will not have this problem.

Fixes Samba bug 6004, problem description follows:
How to reproduce:

- configure an "open share" (full permissions to Guest user) on Windows 2003
Server (I couldn't reproduce the problem with Samba server or Windows older
than 2003)
- mount the share twice with different users who will be authenticated as guest.

 noacl,noperm,user=john,dir_mode=0700,domain=DOMAIN,rw
 noacl,noperm,user=jeff,dir_mode=0700,domain=DOMAIN,rw

Result:

- just the mount point mounted last is accessible:

Steve French c3b2a0c640 [CIFS] improve posix semantics of file create
Samba server added support for a new posix open/create/mkdir operation
a year or so ago, and we added support to cifs for mkdir to use it,
but had not added the corresponding code to file create.

The following patch helps improve the performance of the cifs create
path (to Samba and servers which support the cifs posix protocol
extensions).  Using Connectathon basic test1, with 2000 files, the
performance improved about 15%, and also helped reduce network traffic
(17% fewer SMBs sent over the wire) due to saving a network round trip
for the SetPathInfo on every file create.

It should also help the semantics (and probably the performance) of
write (e.g. when posix byte range locks are on the file) on file
handles opened with posix create, and adds support for a few flags
which would have to be ignored otherwise.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab b6adea334c 8250: fix boot hang with serial console when using with Serial Over Lan port
Intel 8257x Ethernet boards have a feature called Serial Over Lan.

This feature works by emulating a serial port, and it is detected by
kernel as a normal 8250 port.  However, this emulation is not perfect, as
also noticed on changeset 7500b1f602.

Before this patch, the kernel were trying to check if the serial TX is
capable of work using IRQ's.

This were done with a code similar this:

        serial_outp(up, UART_IER, UART_IER_THRI);
        lsr = serial_in(up, UART_LSR);
        iir = serial_in(up, UART_IIR);
        serial_outp(up, UART_IER, 0);

        if (lsr & UART_LSR_TEMT && iir & UART_IIR_NO_INT)
		up->bugs |= UART_BUG_TXEN;

This works fine for other 8250 ports, but, on 8250-emulated SoL port, the
chip is a little lazy to down UART_IIR_NO_INT at UART_IIR register.

Due to that, UART_BUG_TXEN is sometimes enabled.  However, as TX IRQ keeps
working, and the TX polling is now enabled, the driver miss-interprets the
IRQ received later, hanging up the machine until a key is pressed at the
serial console.

This is the 6 version of this patch.  Previous versions were trying to
introduce a large enough delay between serial_outp and serial_in(up,
UART_IIR), but not taking forever.  However, the needed delay couldn't be
safely determined.

At the experimental tests, a delay of 1us solves most of the cases, but
still hangs sometimes.  Increasing the delay to 5us was better, but still
doesn't solve.  A very high delay of 50 ms seemed to work every time.

However, poking around with delays and pray for it to be enough doesn't
seem to be a good approach, even for a quirk.

So, instead of playing with random large arbitrary delays, let's just
disable UART_BUG_TXEN for all SoL ports.

Johannes Weiner 3ef0e5ba46 slab: introduce kzfree()
kzfree() is a wrapper for kfree() that additionally zeroes the underlying
memory before releasing it to the slab allocator.

Currently there is code which memset()s the memory region of an object
before releasing it back to the slab allocator to make sure
security-sensitive data are really zeroed out after use.

These callsites can then just use kzfree() which saves some code, makes
users greppable and allows for a stupid destructor that isn't necessarily
aware of the actual object size.

Steven Rostedt 4377245aa9 ftrace: break out modify loop immediately on detection of error
Impact: added precaution on failure detection

Break out of the modifying loop as soon as a failure is detected.
This is just an added precaution found by code review and was not
found by any bug chasing.

Steven Rostedt 90c7ac49aa ftrace: immediately stop code modification if failure is detected
Impact: fix to prevent NMI lockup

If the page fault handler produces a WARN_ON in the modifying of
text, and the system is setup to have a high frequency of NMIs,
we can lock up the system on a failure to modify code.

The modifying of code with NMIs allows all NMIs to modify the code
if it is about to run. This prevents a modifier on one CPU from
modifying code running in NMI context on another CPU. The modifying
is done through stop_machine, so only NMIs must be considered.

But if the write causes the page fault handler to produce a warning,
the print can slow it down enough that as soon as it is done
it will take another NMI before going back to the process context.
The new NMI will perform the write again causing another print and
this will hang the box.

This patch turns off the writing as soon as a failure is detected
and does not wait for it to be turned off by the process context.
This will keep NMIs from getting stuck in this back and forth
of print outs.

Steven Rostedt 1623963097 ftrace, x86: make kernel text writable only for conversions
Impact: keep kernel text read only

Because dynamic ftrace converts the calls to mcount into and out of
nops at run time, we needed to always keep the kernel text writable.

But this defeats the point of CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA. This patch converts
the kernel code to writable before ftrace modifies the text, and converts
it back to read only afterward.

The kernel text is converted to read/write, stop_machine is called to
modify the code, then the kernel text is converted back to read only.

The original version used SYSTEM_STATE to determine when it was OK
or not to change the code to rw or ro. Andrew Morton pointed out that
using SYSTEM_STATE is a bad idea since there is no guarantee to what
its state will actually be.

Instead, I moved the check into the set_kernel_text_* functions
themselves, and use a local variable to determine when it is
OK to change the kernel text RW permissions.

[ Update: Ingo Molnar suggested moving the prototypes to cacheflush.h ]

Frederic Weisbecker 91f73f90d9 tracing/markers: make markers select tracepoints
Sometimes it happens that KConfig dependencies are not handled
like in the following scenario:

- config A
   bool

- config B
   bool
   depends on A

- config C
   bool
   select B

If one selects C, then it will select B without checking its
dependency to A, if A hasn't been selected elsewhere, it will
result in a build failure.

This is what happens on the following build error:

 kernel/built-in.o: In function `marker_update_probe_range':
 (.text+0x52f64): undefined reference to `tracepoint_probe_register_noupdate'
 kernel/built-in.o: In function `marker_update_probe_range':
 (.text+0x52f74): undefined reference to `tracepoint_probe_unregister_noupdate'
 kernel/built-in.o: In function `marker_update_probe_range':
 (.text+0x52fb9): undefined reference to `tracepoint_probe_unregister_noupdate'
 kernel/built-in.o: In function `marker_update_probes':
 marker.c:(.text+0x530ba): undefined reference to `tracepoint_probe_update_all'

CONFIG_KVM_TRACE will select CONFIG_MARKER, but the latter
depends on CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS which will not be selected.

Steven Rostedt 000ab69117 ftrace: allow archs to preform pre and post process for code modification
This patch creates the weak functions: ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare
and ftrace_arch_code_modify_post_process that are called before and
after the stop machine is called to modify the kernel text.

If the arch needs to do pre or post processing, it only needs to define
these functions.

[ Update: Ingo Molnar suggested using the name ftrace_arch_code_modify_*
          over using ftrace_arch_modify_* ]

Frederic Weisbecker f9349a8f97 tracing/function-graph-tracer: make set_graph_function file support ftrace regex
Impact: trace only functions matching a pattern

The set_graph_function file let one to trace only one or several
chosen functions and follow all their code flow.

Currently, only a constant function name is allowed so this patch
allows the ftrace_regex functions:

- matches all functions that end with "name":
  echo *name > set_graph_function

- matches all functions that begin with "name":
  echo name* > set_graph_function

- matches all functions that contains "name":
  echo *name* > set_graph_function

Example:

echo mutex* > set_graph_function

 0)               |  mutex_lock_nested() {
 0)   0.563 us    |    __might_sleep();
 0)   2.072 us    |  }
 0)               |  mutex_unlock() {
 0)   1.036 us    |    __mutex_unlock_slowpath();
 0)   2.433 us    |  }
 0)               |  mutex_unlock() {
 0)   0.691 us    |    __mutex_unlock_slowpath();
 0)   1.787 us    |  }
 0)               |  mutex_lock_interruptible_nested() {
 0)   0.548 us    |    __might_sleep();
 0)   1.945 us    |  }
