       "A small batch of fixes for v4.20-rc3.
      
        The overflow continuation fix addresses something that has been broken
        for several releases. Arguably it could wait even longer, but it's a
        one line fix and this finishes the last of the known address range
        scrub bug reports. The revert addresses a lockdep regression. The unit
        tests are not critical to fix, but no reason to hold this fix back.
      
        Summary:
      
         - Address Range Scrub overflow continuation handling has been broken
           since it was initially merged. It was only recently that error
           injection and platform-BIOS support enabled this corner case to be
           exercised.
      
         - The recent attempt to provide more isolation for the kernel Address
           Range Scrub state machine from userapace initiated sessions
           triggers a lockdep report. Revert and try again at the next merge
           window.
      
         - Fix a kasan reported buffer overflow in libnvdimm unit test
           infrastrucutre (nfit_test)"

      Pull ARM spectre updates from Russell King:
       "These are the currently known final bits that resolve the Spectre
        issues. big.Little systems used to be sufficiently identical in that
        there were no differences between individual CPUs in the system that
        mattered to the kernel. With the advent of the Spectre problem, the
        CPUs now have differences in how the workaround is applied.
      
        As a result of previous Spectre patches, these systems ended up
        reporting quite a lot of:
      
           "CPUx: Spectre v2: incorrect context switching function, system vulnerable"
      
        messages due to the action of the big.Little switcher causing the CPUs
        to be re-initialised regularly. This series resolves that issue by
        making the CPU vtable unique to each CPU.
      
        However, since this is used very early, before per-cpu is setup,
        per-cpu can't be used. We also have a problem that two of the methods
        are not called from preempt-safe paths, but thankfully these remain
        identical between all CPUs in the system. To make sure, we validate
        that these are identical during boot"

      mm, page_alloc: check for max order in hot path · c63ae43b
      Michal Hocko authored
      Konstantin has noticed that kvmalloc might trigger the following
      warning:
      
        WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 6676 at mm/vmstat.c:986 __fragmentation_index+0x54/0x60

      the problem is that we only check for an out of bound order in the slow
      path and the node reclaim might happen from the fast path already.  This
      is fixable by making sure that kvmalloc doesn't ever use kmalloc for
      requests that are larger than KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE but this also shows that
      the code is rather fragile.  A recent UBSAN report just underlines that
      by the following report

      Note that this is not a kvmalloc path.  It is just that the fast path
      really depends on having sanitzed order as well.  Therefore move the
      order check to the fast path.

      scripts/spdxcheck.py: make python3 compliant · 6f4d29df
      Uwe Kleine-König authored
      Without this change the following happens when using Python3 (3.6.6):
      
      	$ echo "GPL-2.0" | python3 scripts/spdxcheck.py -
      	FAIL: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'
      	Traceback (most recent call last):
      	  File "scripts/spdxcheck.py", line 253, in <module>
      	    parser.parse_lines(sys.stdin, args.maxlines, '-')
      	  File "scripts/spdxcheck.py", line 171, in parse_lines
      	    line = line.decode(locale.getpreferredencoding(False), errors='ignore')
      	AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'
      
      So as the line is already a string, there is no need to decode it and
      the line can be dropped.
      
      /usr/bin/python on Arch is Python 3.  So this would indeed be worth
      going into 4.19.

      tmpfs: make lseek(SEEK_DATA/SEK_HOLE) return ENXIO with a negative offset · 1a413646
      Yufen Yu authored
      Other filesystems such as ext4, f2fs and ubifs all return ENXIO when
      lseek (SEEK_DATA or SEEK_HOLE) requests a negative offset.
      
      man 2 lseek says
      
      :      EINVAL whence  is  not  valid.   Or: the resulting file offset would be
      :             negative, or beyond the end of a seekable device.
      :
      :      ENXIO  whence is SEEK_DATA or SEEK_HOLE, and the file offset is  beyond
      :             the end of the file.
      
      Make tmpfs return ENXIO under these circumstances as well.  After this,
      tmpfs also passes xfstests's generic/448.
