99fc705996 [PATCH] afs: add lock annotations to afs_proc_cell_servers_{start,stop}
afs_proc_cell_servers_start acquires a lock, and afs_proc_cell_servers_stop
releases that lock.  Add lock annotations to these two functions so that
sparse can check callers for lock pairing, and so that sparse will not
complain about these functions since they intentionally use locks in this
manner.

b0de7fca10 [PATCH] efi: add lock annotations for efi_call_phys_prelog and efi_call_phys_epilog
The functions efi_call_phys_prelog and efi_call_phys_epilog in
arch/i386/kernel/efi.c wrap the spinlock efi_rt_lock: efi_call_phys_prelog
returns with the lock held, and efi_call_phys_epilog releases the lock
without acquiring it.  Add lock annotations to these two functions so that
sparse can check callers for lock pairing, and so that sparse will not
complain about these functions since they intentionally use locks in this

c22f008ba2 [PATCH] spinlock_debug: don't recompute (jiffies_per_loop * HZ) in spinloop
In spinlock_debug.c, the spinloops call __delay() on every iteration.
Because that is an external function, (jiffies_per_loop * HZ), the loop's
iteration limit, gets recomputed every time.  Caching it explicitly

df67b3daea [PATCH] make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ
Make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ for a number of architectures which don't
support write only in hardware.

While looking at this, I noticed that some architectures which do not
support write only mappings already take the exact same approach.  For
example, in arch/alpha/mm/fault.c:

"
        if (cause < 0) {
                if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_EXEC))
                        goto bad_area;
        } else if (!cause) {
                /* Allow reads even for write-only mappings */
                if (!(vma->vm_flags & (VM_READ | VM_WRITE)))
                        goto bad_area;
        } else {
                if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE))
                        goto bad_area;
        }
"

Thus, this patch brings other architectures which do not support write only
mappings in-line and consistent with the rest.  I've verified the patch on
ia64, x86_64 and x86.

Additional discussion:

Several architectures, including x86, can not support write-only mappings.
The pte for x86 reserves a single bit for protection and its two states are
read only or read/write.  Thus, write only is not supported in h/w.

Currently, if i 'mmap' a page write-only, the first read attempt on that page
creates a page fault and will SEGV.  That check is enforced in
arch/blah/mm/fault.c.  However, if i first write that page it will fault in
and the pte will be set to read/write.  Thus, any subsequent reads to the page
will succeed.  It is this inconsistency in behavior that this patch is
attempting to address.  Furthermore, if the page is swapped out, and then
brought back the first read will also cause a SEGV.  Thus, any arbitrary read
on a page can potentially result in a SEGV.

According to the SuSv3 spec, "if the application requests only PROT_WRITE, the
implementation may also allow read access." Also as mentioned, some
archtectures, such as alpha, shown above already take the approach that i am
suggesting.

The counter-argument to this raised by Arjan, is that the kernel is enforcing
the write only mapping the best it can given the h/w limitations.  This is
true, however Alan Cox, and myself would argue that the inconsitency in
behavior, that is applications can sometimes work/sometimes fails is highly
undesireable.  If you read through the thread, i think people, came to an
agreement on the last patch i posted, as nobody has objected to it...

4d7dd8fd95 [PATCH] blockdev.c: check driver layer errors
Check driver layer errors.

Fix from: "Jun'ichi Nomura" <j-nomura@ce.jp.nec.com>

In blockdevc-check-errors.patch, add_bd_holder() is modified to return error
values when some of its operation failed.  Among them, it returns -EEXIST when
a given bd_holder object already exists in the list.

However, in this case, the function completed its work successfully and need
no action by its caller other than freeing unused bd_holder object.  So I
think it's better to return success after freeing by itself.

Otherwise, bd_claim-ing with same claim pointer will fail.
Typically, lvresize will fails with following message:
  device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument
and you'll see messages like below in kernel log:
  device-mapper: table: 254:13: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed
  device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table

Similarly, it should not add bd_holder to the list if either one of symlinking
fails.  I don't have a test case for this to happen but it should cause
dereference of freed pointer.

If a matching bd_holder is found in bd_holder_list, add_bd_holder() completes
its job by just incrementing the reference count.  In this case, it should be
considered as success but it used to return 'fail' to let the caller free
temporary bd_holder.  Fixed it to return success and free given object by
itself.

Also, if either one of symlinking fails, the bd_holder should not be added to
the list so that it can be discarded later.  Otherwise, the caller will free
bd_holder which is in the list.

   setup_etheraddr can now be made void
   struct uml_net.have_mac is now always 1, so tests of it can be
similarly removed, and uses of it can be replaced with 1
   struct uml_net.have_mac is no longer used, so it can be removed
   struct uml_net_private.have_mac is copied from struct uml_net, so

   tests of uml_net_private.have_mac can be removed
   uml_net_private.have_mac can now be removed
   the only call to dev_ip_addr was removed, so it can be deleted

It also turns out that setup_etheraddr is called only once, from the same
file, so it can be static and its declaration removed from net_kern.h.

Similarly, set_ether_mac is defined and called only from one file.

Finally, setup_etheraddr and set_ether_mac were moved to avoid needing forward
declarations.

f3e7ed2b61 [PATCH] uml: assign random MACs to interfaces if necessary
Assign a random MAC to an ethernet interface if one was not provided on the
command line.  This became pressing when distros started bringing interfaces
up before assigning IPs to them.  The previous pattern of assigning an IP then
bringing it up allowed the MAC to be generated from the first IP assigned.
However, once the thing is up, it's probably a bad idea to change the MAC, so
the MAC stayed initialized to fe:fd:0:0:0:0.

Now, if there is no MAC from the command line, one is generated.  We use the
microseconds from gettimeofday (20 bits), plus the low 12 bits of the pid to
seed the random number generator.  random() is called twice, with 16 bits of
each result used.  I didn't want to have to try to fill in 32 bits optimally
given an arbitrary RAND_MAX, so I just assume that it is greater than 65536
and use 16 bits of each random() return.

There is also a bit of reformatting and whitespace cleanup here.

3b08606dc2 [PATCH] convert i386 Summit subarch to use SRAT info for apicid_to_node calls
Convert the i386 summit subarch apicid_to_node to use node information
provided by the SRAT.  It was discussed a little on LKML a few weeks ago
and was seen as an acceptable fix.  The current way of obtaining the nodeid

 static inline int apicid_to_node(int logical_apicid)
 {
   return logical_apicid >> 5;
 }

is just not correct for all summit systems/bios.  Assuming the apicid
matches the Linux node number require a leap of faith that the bios mapped
out the apicids a set way.  Modern summit HW (IBM x460) does not layout its
bios in the manner for various reasons and is unable to boot i386 numa.

The best way to get the correct apicid to node information is from the SRAT
table during boot.  It lays out what apicid belongs to what node.  I use
this information to create a table for use at run time.

3528a95322 [PATCH] SELinux: support mls categories for context mounts
Allows commas to be embedded into context mount options (i.e.  "-o
context=some_selinux_context_t"), to better support multiple categories,
which are separated by commas and confuse mount.

For example, with the current code:

  mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom -o \
  ro,context=system_u:object_r:iso9660_t:s0:c1,c3,c4,exec

The context option that will be interpreted by SELinux is
context=system_u:object_r:iso9660_t:s0:c1

instead of
context=system_u:object_r:iso9660_t:s0:c1,c3,c4

The options that will be passed on to the file system will be
ro,c3,c4,exec.

The proposed solution is to allow/require the SELinux context option
specified to mount to use quotes when the context contains a comma.

This patch modifies the option parsing in parse_opts(), contained in
mount.c, to take options after finding a comma only if it hasn't seen a
quote or if the quotes are matched.  It also introduces a new function that
will strip the quotes from the context option prior to translation.  The
quotes are replaced after the translation is completed to insure that in
the event the raw context contains commas the kernel will be able to
interpret the correct context.

4ce072f1fa [PATCH] mm: fix a race condition under SMC + COW
Failing context is a multi threaded process context and the failing
sequence is as follows.

One thread T0 doing self modifying code on page X on processor P0 and
another thread T1 doing COW (breaking the COW setup as part of just
happened fork() in another thread T2) on the same page X on processor P1.
T0 doing SMC can endup modifying the new page Y (allocated by the T1 doing
COW on P1) but because of different I/D TLB's, P0 ITLB will not see the new
mapping till the flush TLB IPI from P1 is received.  During this interval,
if T0 executes the code created by SMC it can result in an app error (as
ITLB still points to old page X and endup executing the content in page X
rather than using the content in page Y).

Fix this issue by first clearing the PTE and flushing it, before updating
it with new entry.

Hugh sayeth:

  I was a bit sceptical, in the habit of thinking that Self Modifying Code
  must look such issues itself: but I guess there's nothing it can do to avoid
  this one.

  Fair enough, what you're changing it to is pretty much what powerpc and
  s390 were already doing, and is a more robust way of proceeding, consistent
  with how ptes are set everywhere else.

  The ptep_clear_flush is a bit heavy-handed (it's anxious to return the pte
  that was atomically cleared), but we'd have to wander through lots of arches
  to get the right minimal behaviour.  It'd also be nice to eliminate
  ptep_establish completely, now only used to define other macros/inlines: it
  always seemed obfuscation to me, what you've got there now is clearer.
  Let's put those cleanups on a TODO list.

If the cpu has the lock held for write, is interrupted, and the interrupt
handler calls read_trylock(), it's an instant deadlock.

Now, Dave Miller has subsequently pointed out that we don't have any
situations where this can occur.  Nevertheless, we should delete
generic__raw_read_lock (and its associated EXPORT to make Arjan happy) so that
nobody thinks they can use it.
