Lots of char arrays could be set as const since they contain only literal char arrays. We could in the same time make const some struct members who are pointer to those const char arrays. Signed-off-by: LABBE Corentin <clabbe.montjoie@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard <cminyard@mvista.com>

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer: - The most significant set of changes this cycle is the Forward Error Correction (FEC) support that has been added to the DM verity target. Google uses DM verity on all Android devices and it is believed that this FEC support will enable DM verity to recover from storage failures seen since DM verity was first deployed as part of Android. - A stable fix for a race in the destruction of DM thin pool's workqueue - A stable fix for hung IO if a DM snapshot copy hit an error - A few small cleanups in DM core and DM persistent data. - A couple DM thinp range discard improvements (address atomicity of finding a range and the efficiency of discarding a partially mapped thin device) - Add ability to debug DM bufio leaks by recording stack trace when a buffer is allocated. Upon detected leak the recorded stack is dumped. * tag 'dm-4.5-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: dm snapshot: fix hung bios when copy error occurs dm thin: bump thin and thin-pool target versions dm thin: fix race condition when destroying thin pool workqueue dm space map metadata: remove unused variable in brb_pop() dm verity: add ignore_zero_blocks feature dm verity: add support for forward error correction dm verity: factor out verity_for_bv_block() dm verity: factor out structures and functions useful to separate object dm verity: move dm-verity.c to dm-verity-target.c dm verity: separate function for parsing opt args dm verity: clean up duplicate hashing code dm btree: factor out need_insert() helper dm bufio: use BUG_ON instead of conditional call to BUG dm bufio: store stacktrace in buffers to help find buffer leaks dm bufio: return NULL to improve code clarity dm block manager: cleanup code that prints stacktrace dm: don't save and restore bi_private dm thin metadata: make dm_thin_find_mapped_range() atomic dm thin metadata: speed up discard of partially mapped volumes

Pull regmap updates from Mark Brown: "There's no real overall theme to the regmap changes for this release, it's a collection of individual features. The main bits are: - Support for 64 bit registers, mainly for MMIO use, from Xiubo Li. - Support for trigger type configuration for regmap-irq from Laxman Dewangan. - Use native physical I/O for MMIO register maps to avoid confusion with the conversions that readl() and writel() do to little endian on big endian systems (with some DT updates to fix some workarounds people were doing), code from Simon Arlott. - Use a binary search rather than iteraton to improve the runtime performance of the rbtree code from Nikesh Oswal" * tag 'regmap-v4.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regmap: regmap: debugfs: Use seq_file for the access map regmap: irq: add support for configuration of trigger type regmap: use IS_ALIGNED instead of % to improve the performance regmap: cache: Move the num_reg_defaults check as early as possible regmap: cache: Add warning info for the cache check regmap: missing case statement regmap: shift wrapping bugs in 64 bit code regmap: cache: Add 64-bit mode support regmap: cache: To suppress the noise of checkpatch regmap: fix the warning about unused variable regmap: add 64-bit mode support regmap: mmio: Add regmap_mmio_get_min_stride regmap: mmio: remove the useless code regmap: Fix leftover from struct reg_default to struct reg_sequence change regmap: replace kmalloc with kmalloc_array regmap: replace kzalloc with kcalloc regmap: rbtree: When adding a reg do a bsearch for target node regmap-mmio: Use native endianness for read/write

Pull pin control updates from Linus Walleij: "This is the bulk of pin control patches for the v4.5 series. Notably I have a patch to driver core from Stephen Boyd in the pull request, this has been ACKed by Greg so it should be OK. The internal API needed some tweaking to allow modular Qualcomm pin controllers. There is a bit of development history in here but it should all add up nicely and has boiled in linux-next. For example I merged in v4.4-rc5 to get rid of some nasty merge conflicts. Summary: - New drivers: - PXA2xx pin controller support - Broadcom NSP pin controller support - New subdrivers: - Samsung EXYNOS5410 support - Qualcomm MSM8996 support - Qualcomm PM8994 support - Qualcomm PM8994 MPP support - Allwinner sunxi H3 support - Allwinner sunxi A80 support - Rockchip RK3228 support - Rename the Cygnus pinctrl driver to "iproc" as it is more generic than was originally thought. - A bunch of Lantiq/Xway updates especially from the OpenWRT people. - Several refactorings for the Super-H SH PFC pin controllers. Adding SCIF_CLK support. - Several fixes to the Atlas 7 driver. - Various fixes all over the place" * tag 'pinctrl-v4.5-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-pinctrl: (91 commits) pinctrl: mediatek: Modify pinctrl bindings for mt2701 Revert "pinctrl: qcom: make PMIC drivers bool" pinctrl: qcom: Use platform_irq_count() instead of of_irq_count() driver-core: platform: Add platform_irq_count() pinctrl: lantiq: 2 pins have the wrong mux list pinctrl: qcom: make PMIC drivers bool pinctrl: nsp-gpio: forever loop in nsp_gpio_get_strength() pinctrl: mediatek: convert to arch_initcall pinctrl: bcm2835: Fix memory leak in error path pinctrl: mediatek: add missing of_node_put pinctrl: rockchip: add missing of_node_put pinctrl: sh-pfc: add missing of_node_put pinctrl: sirf: add missing of_node_put pinctrl-tegra: add missing of_node_put pinctrl: sunxi: Add A80 special pin controller pinctrl: bcm/cygnys/iproc: fixup rebase issue pinctrl: fixup problematic flag MAINTAINERS: Add co-maintainer for Renesas Pin Controllers pinctrl: sh-pfc: r8a7791: add EtherAVB pin groups pinctrl: sh-pfc: r8a7795: Add SATA support ...

The default when just tracepoint events are found in a perf.data file is to format it like ftrace, using the libtraceevent formatters, plugins, etc (Namhyung Kim) - Add support in 'perf script' to process 'perf stat record' generated files, culminating in a python perf script that calculates CPI (Cycles per Instruction) (Jiri Olsa) - Show random perf tool tips in the 'perf report' bottom line (Namhyung Kim) - perf report now defaults to --group if the perf.data file has grouped events, try it with: # perf record -e '{cycles,instructions}' -a sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.093 MB perf.data (1247 samples) ] # perf report # Samples: 1K of event 'anon group { cycles, instructions }' # Event count (approx.): 1955219195 # # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol 2.86% 0.22% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] intel_idle 1.05% 0.33% firefox libxul.so [.] js::SetObjectElement 1.05% 0.00% kworker/0:3 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] gen6_ring_get_seqno 0.88% 0.17% chrome chrome [.] 0x0000000000ee27ab 0.65% 0.86% firefox libxul.so [.] js::ValueToId<(js::AllowGC)1> 0.64% 0.23% JS Helper libxul.so [.] js::SplayTree<js::jit::LiveRange*, js::jit::LiveRange>::splay 0.62% 1.27% firefox libxul.so [.] js::GetIterator 0.61% 1.74% firefox libxul.so [.] js::NativeSetProperty 0.61% 0.31% firefox libxul.so [.] js::SetPropertyByDefining User visible fixes: - Coect data mmaps so that the DWARF unwinder can handle usecases needing them, like softice (Jiri Olsa) - Decay callchains in fractal mode, fixing up cases where 'perf top -g' would show entries with more than 100% (Namhyung Kim) Infrastructure changes: - Sync tools/lib with the lib/ in the kernel sources for find_bit.c and move bitmap.[ch] from tools/perf/util/ to tools/lib/ (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - No need to set attr.sample_freq in some 'perf test' entries that only want to deal with PERF_RECORD_ meta-events, improve a bit error output for CQM test (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Fix python binding build, adding some missing object files now required due to cpumap using find_bit stuff (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - tools/build improvemnts (Jiri Olsa) - Add more files to cscope/ctags databases (Jiri Olsa) - Do not show 'trace' in 'perf help' if it is not compiled in (Jiri Olsa) - Make perf_evlist__open() open evsels with their cpus and threads, like perf record does, making them consistent (Adrian Hunter) - Fix pmu snapshot initialization bug (Stephane Eranian) - Add missing headers in perf's MANIFEST (Wang Nan) Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

This replaces all code in fs/compat_ioctl.c that translated ioctl arguments into a in-kernel structure, then performed do_ioctl under set_fs(KERNEL_DS), with code that allocates data on the user stack and can call the VFS ioctl handler under USER_DS. This is done as a hardening measure because the caller does not know what kind of ioctl handler will be invoked, only that no corresponding compat_ioctl handler exists and what the ioctl command number is. The accidental invocation of an unlocked_ioctl handler that unexpectedly calls copy_to_user could be a severe security issue.

In code in fs/compat_ioctl.c that translates ioctl arguments into a in-kernel structure, then performs sys_ioctl, possibly under set_fs(KERNEL_DS), this commit changes the sys_ioctl calls to do_ioctl calls. do_ioctl is a new function that does the same thing as sys_ioctl, but doesn't look up the fd again. This change is made to avoid (potential) security issues because of ioctl handlers that accept one of the ioctl commands I2C_FUNCS, VIDEO_GET_EVENT, MTIOCPOS, MTIOCGET, TIOCGSERIAL, TIOCSSERIAL, RTC_IRQP_READ, RTC_EPOCH_READ. This can happen for multiple reasons: - The ioctl command number could be reused. - The ioctl handler might not check the full ioctl command. This is e.g. true for drm_ioctl. - The ioctl handler is very special, e.g. cuse_file_ioctl The real issue is that set_fs(KERNEL_DS) is used here, but that's fixed in a separate commit "compat_ioctl: don't call do_ioctl under set_fs(KERNEL_DS)". This change mitigates potential security issues by preventing a race that permits invocation of unlocked_ioctl handlers under KERNEL_DS through compat code even if a corresponding compat_ioctl handler exists. So far, no way has been identified to use this to damage kernel memory without having CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the init ns (with the capability, doing reads/writes at arbitrary kernel addresses should be easy through CUSE's ioctl handler with FUSE_IOCTL_UNRESTRICTED set).
