My static checker complains that we put an upper bound on the "size" argument but not a lower bound. The checker is not smart enough to know the possible ranges of "old_mm->context.ldt->size" from init_new_context_ldt() so it thinks maybe it could be negative. Let's make it unsigned to silence the warning and future proof the code a bit.

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams: "Several fixes to the DSM (ACPI device specific method) marshaling implementation. I consider these urgent enough to send for 4.9 consideration since they fix the kernel's handling of ARS (Address Range Scrub) commands. Especially for platforms without machine-check-recovery capabilities, successful execution of ARS commands enables the platform to potentially break out of an infinite reboot problem if a media error is present in the boot path. There is also a one line fix for a device-dax read-only mapping regression. Commits 9a901f54 ("acpi, nfit: fix extended status translations for ACPI DSMs") and 325896ff ("device-dax: fix private mapping restriction, permit read-only") are true regression fixes for changes introduced this cycle. Commit efda1b5d ("acpi, nfit, libnvdimm: fix / harden ars_status output length handling") fixes the kernel's handling of zero-length results, this never would have worked in the past, but we only just recently discovered a BIOS implementation that emits this arguably spec non-compliant result. The remaining two commits are additional fall out from thinking through the implications of a zero / truncated length result of the ARS Status command. In order to mitigate the risk that these changes introduce yet more regressions they are backstopped by a new unit test in commit a7de92da ("tools/testing/nvdimm: unit test acpi_nfit_ctl()") that mocks up inputs to acpi_nfit_ctl()" * 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: device-dax: fix private mapping restriction, permit read-only tools/testing/nvdimm: unit test acpi_nfit_ctl() acpi, nfit: fix bus vs dimm confusion in xlat_status acpi, nfit: validate ars_status output buffer size acpi, nfit, libnvdimm: fix / harden ars_status output length handling acpi, nfit: fix extended status translations for ACPI DSMs

At bootup we run measurements to calculate the best threshold for when we should be using full TLB flushes instead of just flushing a specific amount of TLB entries. This performance test is run over the kernel text segment. But running this TLB performance test on the kernel text segment turned out to crash some SMP machines when the kernel text pages were mapped as huge pages. To avoid those crashes this patch simply skips this test on some SMP machines and calculates an optimal threshold based on the maximum number of available TLB entries and number of online CPUs. On a technical side, this seems to happen: The TLB measurement code uses flush_tlb_kernel_range() to flush specific TLB entries with a page size of 4k (pdtlb 0(sr1,addr)). On UP systems this purge instruction seems to work without problems even if the pages were mapped as huge pages. But on SMP systems the TLB purge instruction is broadcasted to other CPUs. Those CPUs then crash the machine because the page size is not as expected. C8000 machines with PA8800/PA8900 CPUs were not affected by this problem, because the required cache coherency prohibits to use huge pages at all. Sadly I didn't found any documentation about this behaviour, so this finding is purely based on testing with phyiscal SMP machines (A500-44 and J5000, both were 2-way boxes).

This function sets req->r_locked_dir which is supposed to indicate to ceph_fill_trace that the parent's i_rwsem is locked for write. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that the dir will be locked when d_revalidate is called, so we really don't want ceph_fill_trace to do any dcache manipulation from this context. Clear req->r_locked_dir since it's clearly not safe to do that. What we really want to know with d_revalidate is whether the dentry still points to the same inode. ceph_fill_trace installs a pointer to the inode in req->r_target_inode, so we can just compare that to d_inode(dentry) to see if it's the same one after the lookup. Also, since we aren't generally interested in the parent here, we can switch to using a GETATTR to hint that to the MDS, which also means that we only need to reserve one cap. Finally, just remove the d_unhashed check. That's really outside the purview of a filesystem's d_revalidate. If the thing became unhashed while we're checking it, then that's up to the VFS to handle anyway.

SCT Write Same support had been introduced with commit 7b203094 ("libata: Add support for SCT Write Same") Some problems, namely excessive userspace segfaults, had been reported at http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160908192736.GA4356@gmail.com This lead to commit 0ce1b18c ("libata: Some drives failing on SCT Write Same") which strived to disable SCT Write Same on !ZAC devices. Due to the way this was done and to the logic in sd_config_write_same(), this didn't work for those devices that have ->max_ws_blocks > SD_MAX_WS10_BLOCKS: for these, ->no_write_same and ->max_write_same_sectors would still be non-zero, but ->ws10 == ->ws16 == 0. This would cause sd_setup_write_same_cmnd() to demultiplex REQ_OP_WRITE_SAME requests to WRITE_SAME, and these in turn aren't supported by libata-scsi: EXT4-fs (dm-1): Delayed block allocation failed for inode 2625094 at logical offset 2032 with max blocks 2 with error 121 EXT4-fs (dm-1): This should not happen!! Data will be lost 121 == EREMOTEIO is what scsi_io_completion() asserts in case of invalid opcodes. Back to the original problem of userspace segfaults: this can be tracked down to ata_format_sct_write_same() overwriting the input page. Sometimes, this page is ZERO_PAGE(0) which ceases to be filled with zeros from that point on. Since ZERO_PAGE(0) is used for userspace .bss mappings, code of the following is doomed: static char *a = NULL; /* .bss */ ... if (a) *a = 'a'; This problem is not solved by disabling SCT Write Same for !ZAC devices only. It can certainly be fixed, but the final release is quite close -- so disable SCT Write Same for all ATA devices rather than introducing some SCT key buffer allocation schemes at this point.

The eLCDIF IP of the i.MX 7 SoC knows multiple clocks and lists them separately: Clock Clock Root Description apb_clk MAIN_AXI_CLK_ROOT AXI clock pix_clk LCDIF_PIXEL_CLK_ROOT Pixel clock ipg_clk_s MAIN_AXI_CLK_ROOT Peripheral access clock All of them are switched by a single gate, which is part of the IMX7D_LCDIF_PIXEL_ROOT_CLK clock. Hence using that clock also for the AXI bus clock (clock-name "axi") makes sure the gate gets enabled when accessing registers. There seem to be no separate AXI display clock, and the clock is optional. Hence remove the dummy clock. This fixes kernel freezes when starting the X-Server (which disables/re-enables the display controller).

This reverts commit 8ab2ae65. I loved that commit because of how it explained what the problem with newer versions of binutils were, but the actual patch itself turns out to not work very well. It has two problems: - a zero CRC value isn't actually right. It happens to work for the case where both sides of the equation fail at giving the symbol a crc, but there are cases where the users of the exported symbol get the right crc (due to seeing the C declarations), but the actual exporting itself does not (due to the whole weak asm symbol issue). So then the module load fails after all - we did have a crc for the symbol, but we couldn't match it with the loaded module. - it seems that the alpha assembler has special semantics for the '.set' directive, and on alpha it doesn't actually set the value of the specified symbol at all, it is instead used to set various assembly modes (eg ".set noat" and ".set noreorder"). So using ".set" to set the symbol value would just cause build failures on alpha. I'm sure we'll find some other workaround for these issues (hopefully that involves getting rid of modversions entirely some day, but people are also talking about just using smarter tools). But for now we'll just fall back on commit faaae2a5 ("Re-enable CONFIG_MODVERSIONS in a slightly weaker form") that just let's a missing crc through.

We have four routines in pacache.S that use temporary alias pages: copy_user_page_asm(), clear_user_page_asm(), flush_dcache_page_asm() and flush_icache_page_asm(). copy_user_page_asm() and clear_user_page_asm() don't purge the TLB entry used for the operation. flush_dcache_page_asm() and flush_icache_page_asm do purge the entry. Presumably, this was thought to optimize TLB use. However, the operation is quite heavy weight on PA 1.X processors as we need to take the TLB lock and a TLB broadcast is sent to all processors. This patch removes the purges from flush_dcache_page_asm() and flush_icache_page_asm.

The attached change interchanges the order of purging the TLB and setting the corresponding page table entry. TLB purges are strongly ordered. It occurred to me one night that setting the PTE first might have subtle ordering issues on SMP machines and cause random memory corruption. A TLB lock guards the insertion of user TLB entries. So after the TLB is purged, a new entry can't be inserted until the lock is released. This ensures that the new PTE value is used when the lock is released. Since making this change, no random segmentation faults have been observed on the Debian hppa buildd servers.

A recent flurry of bug discoveries in the nfit driver's DSM marshalling routine has highlighted the fact that we do not have unit test coverage for this routine. Add a self-test of acpi_nfit_ctl() routine before probing the "nfit_test.0" device. This mocks stimulus to acpi_nfit_ctl() and if any of the tests fail "nfit_test.0" will be unavailable causing the rest of the tests to not run / fail. This unit test will also be a place to land reproductions of quirky BIOS behavior discovered in the field and ensure the kernel does not regress against implementations it has seen in practice.

Given dimms and bus commands share the same command number space we need to be careful that we are translating status in the correct context. Otherwise we can, for example, fail an ND_CMD_GET_CONFIG_SIZE command because max_xfer is zero.

Given ambiguities in the ACPI 6.1 definition of the "Output (Size)" field of the ARS (Address Range Scrub) Status command, a firmware implementation may in practice return 0, 4, or 8 to indicate that there is no output payload to process. The specification states "Size of Output Buffer in bytes, including this field.". However, 'Output Buffer' is also the name of the entire payload, and earlier in the specification it states "Max Query ARS Status Output Buffer Size: Maximum size of buffer (including the Status and Extended Status fields)". Without this fix if the BIOS happens to return 0 it causes memory corruption as evidenced by this result from the acpi_nfit_ctl() unit test. ars_status00000000: 00020000 00000000 ........

ACPI DSMs can have an 'extended' status which can be non-zero to convey additional information about the command. In the xlat_status routine, where we translate the command statuses, we were returning an error for a non-zero extended status, even if the primary status indicated success. Return from each command's 'case' once we have verified both its status and extend status are good.
