As described in e6fa16ab ("signal: sigprocmask() should do retarget_shared_pending()") the modification of current->blocked is incorrect as we need to check whether the signal we're about to block is pending in the shared queue. Also, use the new helper function introduced in commit 5e6292c0 ("signal: add block_sigmask() for adding sigmask to current->blocked") which centralises the code for updating current->blocked after successfully delivering a signal and reduces the amount of duplicate code across architectures. In the past some architectures got this code wrong, so using this helper function should stop that from happening again.

Pull RCU changes from Ingo Molnar: "This is the v3.5 RCU tree from Paul E. McKenney: 1) A set of improvements and fixes to the RCU_FAST_NO_HZ feature (with more on the way for 3.6). Posted to LKML: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/23/324 (commits 1-3 and 5), https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/16/611 (commit 4), https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/30/390 (commit 6), and https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/4/410 (commit 7, combined with the other commits for the convenience of the tester). 2) Changes to make rcu_barrier() avoid disrupting execution of CPUs that have no RCU callbacks. Posted to LKML: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/23/322. 3) A couple of commits that improve the efficiency of the interaction between preemptible RCU and the scheduler, these two being all that survived an abortive attempt to allow preemptible RCU's __rcu_read_lock() to be inlined. The full set was posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/14/143, and the first and third patches of that set remain. 4) Lai Jiangshan's algorithmic implementation of SRCU, which includes call_srcu() and srcu_barrier(). A major feature of this new implementation is that synchronize_srcu() no longer disturbs the execution of other CPUs. This work is based on earlier implementations by Peter Zijlstra and Paul E. McKenney. Posted to LKML: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/22/82. 5) A number of miscellaneous bug fixes and improvements which were posted to LKML at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/23/353 with subsequent updates posted to LKML." * 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (32 commits) rcu: Make rcu_barrier() less disruptive rcu: Explicitly initialize RCU_FAST_NO_HZ per-CPU variables rcu: Make RCU_FAST_NO_HZ handle timer migration rcu: Update RCU maintainership rcu: Make exit_rcu() more precise and consolidate rcu: Move PREEMPT_RCU preemption to switch_to() invocation rcu: Ensure that RCU_FAST_NO_HZ timers expire on correct CPU rcu: Add rcutorture test for call_srcu() rcu: Implement per-domain single-threaded call_srcu() state machine rcu: Use single value to handle expedited SRCU grace periods rcu: Improve srcu_readers_active_idx()'s cache locality rcu: Remove unused srcu_barrier() rcu: Implement a variant of Peter's SRCU algorithm rcu: Improve SRCU's wait_idx() comments rcu: Flip ->completed only once per SRCU grace period rcu: Increment upper bit only for srcu_read_lock() rcu: Remove fast check path from __synchronize_srcu() rcu: Direct algorithmic SRCU implementation rcu: Introduce rcutorture testing for rcu_barrier() timer: Fix mod_timer_pinned() header comment ...

Pull m68knommu tree from Greg Ungerer: "More merge and clean up of MMU and non-MMU common files, namely signal.c and dma.c. There is also a simplification of the ColdFire GPIO setup tables. Using a couple of simple macros we make the init tables really small and easy to read, and save a couple of thousand lines of code. Also a move of all the ColdFire subarch support files into the existing coldfire directory. The sub-directories just ended up duplicating Makefiles and now only contain really simple pieces of code. This saves quite a few lines of code too. As always a couple of bugs fixes thrown in too. Oh and a new defconfig for the ColdFire platforms that support having the MMU enabled." * 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gerg/m68knommu: (39 commits) m68k: add a defconfig for the M5475EVB ColdFire with MMU board m68knommu: unaligned.h fix for M68000 core m68k: merge the MMU and non-MMU versions of the arch dma code m68knommu: reorganize the no-MMU cache flushing to match m68k m68knommu: move the 54xx platform code into the common ColdFire code directory m68knommu: move the 532x platform code into the common ColdFire code directory m68knommu: move the 5407 platform code into the common ColdFire code directory m68knommu: move the 5307 platform code into the common ColdFire code directory m68knommu: move the 528x platform code into the common ColdFire code directory m68knommu: move the 527x platform code into the common ColdFire code directory m68knommu: move the 5272 platform code into the common ColdFire code directory m68knommu: move the 5249 platform code into the common ColdFire code directory m68knommu: move the 523x platform code into the common ColdFire code directory m68knommu: move the 520x platform code into the common ColdFire code directory m68knommu: move the 5206 platform code into the common ColdFire code directory m68knommu: simplify the ColdFire 5407 GPIO struct setup m68knommu: simplify the ColdFire 532x GPIO struct setup m68knommu: simplify the ColdFire 5307 GPIO struct setup m68knommu: simplify the ColdFire 528x GPIO struct setup m68knommu: simplify the ColdFire 527x GPIO struct setup ...

This reverts commit 8c01a529. It turns out the d_unhashed() check isn't unnecessary after all: while it's true that unhashing will increment the sequence numbers, that does not necessarily invalidate the RCU lookup, because it might have seen the dentry pointer (before it got unhashed), but by the time it loaded the sequence number, it could have seen the *new* sequence number (after it got unhashed). End result: we might look up an unhashed dentry that is about to be freed, with the sequence number never indicating anything bad about it. So checking that the dentry is still hashed (*after* reading the sequence number) is indeed the proper fix, and was never unnecessary.

Pull usb-gadget scsi-target merge from Nicholas Bellinger: "As promised, here is the pull request for Sebastian's usb-gadget target UASP / BOT driver for v3.5-rc1. This code has been in linux-next for a number of weeks, and is now ready for an initial merge. This fabric uses the target framework to provide a usb gadget device. This gadget supports the USB Attached SCSI Protocol (UASP) and Bulk Only Transfers (BOT or BBB). BOT is the primary interface, UAS is the alternative interface. Note this series is dependent upon a single target core patch for adding se_cmd->unknown_data_length in target-pending/for-next, that got merged in the parent. Kudos to Sebastian for making this driver happen so easily, and for his patches to improve usb-core and target core along the way to his goal. Also thanks to Felipe + Greg-KH for their help in getting this driver ready for mainline." * 'usb-target-merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending: usb-gadget: Initial merge of target module for UASP + BOT

Pull scsi-target changes from Nicholas Bellinger: "There has been lots of work in existing code in a number of areas this past cycle. The major highlights have been: * Removal of transport_do_task_sg_chain() from core + fabrics (Roland) * target-core: Removal of se_task abstraction from target-core and enforce hw_max_sectors for pSCSI backends (hch) * Re-factoring of iscsi-target tx immediate/response queues (agrover) * Conversion of iscsi-target back to using target core memory allocation logic (agrover) We've had one last minute iscsi-target patch go into for-next to address a nasty regression bug related to the target core allocation logic conversion from agrover that is not included in friday's linux-next build, but has been included in this series. On the new fabric module code front for-3.5, here is a brief status update for the three currently in flight this round: * usb-gadget target driver: Sebastian Siewior's driver for supporting usb-gadget target mode operation. This will be going out as a separate PULL request from target-pending/usb-target-merge with subsystem maintainer ACKs. There is one minor target-core patch in this series required to function. * sbp ieee-1394/firewire target driver: Chris Boot's driver for supportting the Serial Block Protocol (SBP) across IEEE-1394 Firewire hardware. This will be going out as a separate PULL request from target-pending/sbp-target-merge with two additional drivers/firewire/ patches w/ subsystem maintainer ACKs. * qla2xxx LLD target mode infrastructure changes + tcm_qla2xxx: The Qlogic >= 24xx series HW target mode LLD infrastructure patch-set and tcm_qla2xxx fabric driver. Support for FC target mode using qla2xxx LLD code has been officially submitted by Qlogic to James below, and is currently outstanding but not yet merged into scsi.git/for-next..

Pull regmap updates from Mark Brown: "A surprisingly large series of updates for regmap this time, mostly due to all the work Stephen Warren has done to add support for MMIO buses. This wasn't really the target for the framework but it turns out that there's a reasonable number of cases where it's very helpful to use the register cache support to allow the register map to remain available while the device is suspended. - A MMIO bus implementation, contributed by Stephen Warren. Currently this is limited to 32 bit systems and native endian registers. - Support for naming register maps, mainly intended for MMIO devices with multiple register banks. This was also contributed by Stephen Warren. - Support for register striding, again contributed by Stephen Warren and mainly intended for use with MMIO as typically the registers will be a fixed size but byte addressed. - irqdomain support for the generic regmap irq_chip, including support for dynamically allocate interrupt numbers. - A function dev_get_regmap() which allows frameworks using regmap to obtain the regmap for a device from the struct device, making life a little simpler for them. - Updates to regmap-irq to support more chips (contributed by Graeme Gregory) and to use irqdomains. - Support for devices with 24 bit register addresses. The striding support collided with all the topic branches so the branches look a bit messy and eventually I just gave up. There's also the TI Palmas driver and a couple of other isolated MFD patches that all depend on new regmap features so are being merged here." * tag 'regmap-3.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regmap: (24 commits) mfd: palmas PMIC device support Kconfig mfd: palmas PMIC device support regmap: Fix typo in IRQ register striding mfd: wm8994: Update to fully use irq_domain regmap: add support for non contiguous status to regmap-irq regmap: Convert regmap_irq to use irq_domain regmap: Pass back the allocated regmap IRQ controller data mfd: da9052: Fix genirq abuse regmap: Implement dev_get_regmap() regmap: Devices using format_write don't support bulk operations regmap: Converts group operation into single read write operations regmap: Cache single values read from the chip regmap: fix compile errors in regmap-irq.c due to stride changes regmap: implement register striding regmap: fix compilation when !CONFIG_DEBUG_FS regmap: allow regmap instances to be named regmap: validate regmap_raw_read/write val_len regmap: mmio: remove some error checks now in the core regmap: mmio: convert some error returns to BUG() regmap: add MMIO bus support ...

Miklos Szeredi points out that we need to also worry about memory odering when doing the dentry name comparison asynchronously with RCU. In particular, doing a rename can do a memcpy() of one dentry name over another, and we want to make sure that any unlocked reader will always see the proper terminating NUL character, so that it won't ever run off the allocation. Rather than having to be extra careful with the name copy or at lookup time for each character, this resolves the issue by making sure that all names that are inlined in the dentry always have a NUL character at the end of the name allocation. If we do that at dentry allocation time, we know that no future name copy will ever change that final NUL to anything else, so there are no memory ordering issues. So even if a concurrent rename ends up overwriting the NUL character that terminates the original name, we always know that there is one final NUL at the end, and there is no worry about the lockless RCU lookup traversing the name too far. The out-of-line allocations are never copied over, so we can just make sure that we write the name (with terminating NULL) and do a write barrier before we expose the name to anything else by setting it in the dentry.

We had for some reason overlooked the AIO interface, and it didn't use the proper rw_verify_area() helper function that checks (for example) mandatory locking on the file, and that the size of the access doesn't cause us to overflow the provided offset limits etc. Instead, AIO did just the security_file_permission() thing (that rw_verify_area() also does) directly. This fixes it to do all the proper helper functions, which not only means that now mandatory file locking works with AIO too, we can actually remove lines of code.

During early boot, when the scheduler hasn't really been fully set up, we really can't do blocking allocations because with certain (dubious) configurations the "might_resched()" calls can actually result in scheduling events. We could just make such users always use GFP_ATOMIC, but quite often the code that does the allocation isn't really aware of the fact that the scheduler isn't up yet, and forcing that kind of random knowledge on the initialization code is just annoying and not good for anybody. And we actually have a the 'gfp_allowed_mask' exactly for this reason: it's just that the kernel init sequence happens to set it to allow blocking allocations much too early. So move the 'gfp_allowed_mask' initialization from 'start_kernel()' (which is some of the earliest init code, and runs with preemption disabled for good reasons) into 'kernel_init()'. kernel_init() is run in the newly created thread that will become the 'init' process, as opposed to the early startup code that runs within the context of what will be the first idle thread. So by the time we reach 'kernel_init()', we know that the scheduler must be at least limping along, because we've already scheduled from the idle thread into the init thread.

[ I fixed up the BPF rules, and tried to clean up the build rules too.

Pull networking changes from David Miller: 1) Get rid of the error prone NLA_PUT*() macros that used an embedded goto. 2) Kill off the token-ring and MCA networking drivers, from Paul Gortmaker. 3) Reduce high-order allocations made by datagram AF_UNIX sockets, from Eric Dumazet. 4) Add PTP hardware clock support to IGB and IXGBE, from Richard Cochran and Jacob Keller. 5) Allow users to query timestamping capabilities of a card via ethtool, from Richard Cochran. 6) Add loadbalance mode to the teaming driver, from Jiri Pirko. Part of this is that we can now have BPF filters not attached to sockets, and the loadbalancing function is calculated using one. 7) Francois Romieu went through the network drivers removing gratuitous uses of netdev->base_addr, perhaps some day we can remove it completely but it's used for ISA probing still. 8) Add a BPF JIT for sparc. I know, who cares, right? :-) 9) Move networking sysctl registry away from using the compatability mode interfaces in the sysctl code. From Eric W Biederman. 10) Pavel Emelyanov added a way to save and restore TCP socket state via TCP_REPAIR, TCP_REPAIR_QUEUE, and TCP_QUEUE_SEQ socket options as well as a way to forcefully bind a socket to a port via the sk->sk_reuse value SK_FORCE_REUSE. There is also a TCP_REPAIR_OPTIONS which allows to reinstante the TCP options enabled on the connection. 11) Several enhancements from Eric Dumazet that, in particular, can enhance splice performance on TCP sockets significantly. a) Reset the offset of the per-socket sendmsg page when we know we're the only use of the page in linear_to_page(). b) Add facilities such that skb->data can be backed a page rather than SLAB kmalloc'd memory. In particular devices which were receiving into linear RX buffers can now end up providing paged data. The big result is that code like splice and GRO do not have to copy any more. 12) Allow a pure sender to more gracefully handle ACK backlogs in TCP. What can happen at high rates is that the sender hasn't grown his receive buffer limits at all (he's not receiving data so really doesn't need to), but the non-data ACKs consume receive buffer space. sk_add_backlog() is too aggressive in dropping frames in this case, so relax it's requirements by using the receive buffer plus the send buffer limit as the backlog limit instead of just the former. Also from Eric Dumazet. 13) Add ipv6 support to L2TP, from Benjamin LaHaise, James Chapman, and Chris Elston. 14) Implement TCP early retransmit (RFC 5827), from Yuchung Cheng. Basically, we can start fast retransmit before hiting the dupack threshold under certain conditions. 15) New CODEL active queue management packet scheduler, from Eric Dumazet based upon initial work by Dave Taht. Basically, the big feature is that packets are dropped (or ECN bits are set) based upon how long packets live in the queue, rather than the queue length (which is what RED uses). * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1341 commits) drivers/net/stmmac: seq_file fix memory leak ipv6/exthdrs: strict Pad1 and PadN check USB: qmi_wwan: Add ZTE (Vodafone) K3520-Z USB: qmi_wwan: Add ZTE (Vodafone) K3765-Z USB: qmi_wwan: Make forced int 4 whitelist generic net/ipv4: replace simple_strtoul with kstrtoul net/ipv4/ipconfig: neaten __setup placement net: qmi_wwan: Add Vodafone/Huawei K5005 support net: cdc_ether: Add ZTE WWAN matches before generic Ethernet ipv6: use skb coalescing in reassembly ipv4: use skb coalescing in defragmentation net: introduce skb_try_coalesce() net:ipv6:fixed space issues relating to operators. net:ipv6:fixed a trailing white space issue. ipv6: disable GSO on sockets hitting dst_allfrag tg3: use netdev_alloc_frag() API net: napi_frags_skb() is static ppp: avoid false drop_monitor false positives ipv6: bool/const conversions phase2 ipx: Remove spurious NULL checking in ipx_ioctl(). ...

This teaches vfs_fstat() to use the appropriate f[get|put]_light functions, allowing it to avoid some unnecessary locking for the common case. More noticeably, it also cleans up and simplifies the "getname_flags()" function, which now relies on the architecture strncpy_from_user() doing all the user access checks properly, instead of hacking around the fact that on x86 it didn't use to do it right (see commit 92ae03f2: "x86: merge 32/64-bit versions of 'strncpy_from_user()' and speed it up"). * vfs-cleanups: VFS: make vfs_fstat() use f[get|put]_light() VFS: clean up and simplify getname_flags() x86: make word-at-a-time strncpy_from_user clear bytes at the end

This makes cp_new_stat() a bit more readable, and avoids having to memset() the whole structure just to fill in a couple of padding fields.
