      NOMMU: Don't check vm_region::vm_start is page aligned in add_nommu_region() · 8c9ed899
      David Howells authored
      Don't check vm_region::vm_start is page aligned in add_nommu_region() because
      the region may reflect some non-page-aligned mapped file, such as could be
      obtained from RomFS XIP.

      random: make get_random_int() more random · 8a0a9bd4
      Linus Torvalds authored
      It's a really simple patch that basically just open-codes the current
      "secure_ip_id()" call, but when open-coding it we now use a _static_
      hashing area, so that it gets updated every time.
      
      And to make sure somebody can't just start from the same original seed of
      all-zeroes, and then do the "half_md4_transform()" over and over until
      they get the same sequence as the kernel has, each iteration also mixes in
      the same old "current->pid + jiffies" we used - so we should now have a
      regular strong pseudo-number generator, but we also have one that doesn't
      have a single seed.
      
      Note: the "pid + jiffies" is just meant to be a tiny tiny bit of noise. It
      has no real meaning. It could be anything. I just picked the previous
      seed, it's just that now we keep the state in between calls and that will
      feed into the next result, and that should make all the difference.
      
      I made that hash be a per-cpu data just to avoid cache-line ping-pong:
      having multiple CPU's write to the same data would be fine for randomness,
      and add yet another layer of chaos to it, but since get_random_int() is
      supposed to be a fast interface I did it that way instead. I considered
      using "__raw_get_cpu_var()" to avoid any preemption overhead while still
      getting the hash be _mostly_ ping-pong free, but in the end good taste won
      out.

      [ARM] 5507/1: support R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and MOVT_ABS relocation types · ae51e609
      Paul Gortmaker authored
      From: Bruce Ashfield <bruce.ashfield@windriver.com>
      
      To fully support the armv7-a instruction set/optimizations, support
      for the R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and R_ARM_MOVT_ABS relocation types is
      required.
      
      The MOVW and MOVT are both load-immediate instructions, MOVW loads 16
      bits into the bottom half of a register, and MOVT loads 16 bits into the
      top half of a register.
      
      The relocation information for these instructions has a full 32 bit
      value, plus an addend which is stored in the 16 immediate bits in the
      instruction itself.  The immediate bits in the instruction are not
      contiguous (the register # splits it into a 4 bit and 12 bit value),
      so the addend has to be extracted accordingly and added to the value.
      The value is then split and put into the instruction; a MOVW uses the
      bottom 16 bits of the value, and a MOVT uses the top 16 bits.

      md: remove rd%d links immediately after stopping an array. · c4647292
      NeilBrown authored
      md maintains link in sys/mdXX/md/ to identify which device has
      which role in the array. e.g.
         rd2 -> dev-sda
      
      indicates that the device with role '2' in the array is sda.
      
      These links are only present when the array is active.  They are
      created immediately after ->run is called, and so should be removed
      immediately after ->stop is called.
      However they are currently removed a little bit later, and it is
      possible for ->run to be called again, thus adding these links, before
      they are removed.
      
      So move the removal earlier so they are consistently only present when
      the array is active.

      md: remove ability to explicit set an inactive array to 'clean'. · 5bf29597
      NeilBrown authored
      Being able to write 'clean' to an 'array_state' of an inactive array
      to activate it in 'clean' mode is both unnecessary and inconvenient.
      
      It is unnecessary because the same can be achieved by writing
      'active'.  This activates and array, but it still remains 'clean'
      until the first write.
      
      It is inconvenient because writing 'clean' is more often used to
      cause an 'active' array to revert to 'clean' mode (thus blocking
      any writes until a 'write-pending' is promoted to 'active').
      
      Allowing 'clean' to both activate an array and mark an active array as
      clean can lead to races:  One program writes 'clean' to mark the
      active array as clean at the same time as another program writes
      'inactive' to deactivate (stop) and active array.  Depending on which
      writes first, the array could be deactivated and immediately
      reactivated which isn't what was desired.
      
      So just disable the use of 'clean' to activate an array.
      
      This avoids a race that can be triggered with mdadm-3.0 and external
      metadata, so it suitable for -stable.

      md: tidy up status_resync to handle large arrays. · dd71cf6b
      NeilBrown authored
      Two problems in status_resync.
      1/ It still used Kilobytes as the basic block unit, while most code
         now uses sectors uniformly.
      2/ It doesn't allow for the possibility that max_sectors exceeds
         the range of "unsigned long".
      
      So
       - change "max_blocks" to "max_sectors", and store sector numbers
         in there and in 'resync'
       - Make 'rt' a 'sector_t' so it can temporarily hold the number of
         remaining sectors.
       - use sector_div rather than normal division.
       - change the magic '100' used to preserve precision to '32'.
         + making it a power of 2 makes division easier
         + it doesn't need to be as large as it was chosen when we averaged
           speed over the entire run.  Now we average speed over the last 30
           seconds or so.

      md: fix some (more) errors with bitmaps on devices larger than 2TB. · db305e50
      NeilBrown authored
      If a write intent bitmap covers more than 2TB, we sometimes work with
      values beyond 32bit, so these need to be sector_t.  This patches
      add the required casts to some unsigned longs that are being shifted
      up.
      
      This will affect any raid10 larger than 2TB, or any raid1/4/5/6 with
      member devices that are larger than 2TB.

      md/raid10: don't clear bitmap during recovery if array will still be degraded. · 18055569
      NeilBrown authored
      If we have a raid10 with multiple missing devices, and we recover just
      one of these to a spare, then we risk (depending on the bitmap and
      array chunk size) clearing bits of the bitmap for which recovery isn't
      complete (because a device is still missing).
      
      This can lead to a subsequent "re-add" being recovered without
      any IO happening, which would result in loss of data.
      
      This patch takes the safe approach of not clearing bitmap bits
      if the array will still be degraded.
      
      This patch is suitable for all active -stable kernels.

      md: fix loading of out-of-date bitmap. · b74fd282
      NeilBrown authored
      When md is loading a bitmap which it knows is out of date, it fills
      each page with 1s and writes it back out again.  However the
      write_page call makes used of bitmap->file_pages and
      bitmap->last_page_size which haven't been set correctly yet.  So this
      can sometimes fail.
      
      Move the setting of file_pages and last_page_size to before the call
      to write_page.
      
      This bug can cause the assembly on an array to fail, thus making the
      data inaccessible.  Hence I think it is a suitable candidate for
      -stable.
