      elf: limit max map count to safe value · 341c87bf
      KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki authored 
      With ELF, at generating coredump, some more headers other than used
vmas are added.

When max_map_count == 65536, a core generated by following kinds of
code can be unreadable because the number of ELF's program header is
written in 16bit in Ehdr (please see elf.h) and the number overflows.

==
	... = mmap(); (munmap, mprotect, etc...)
	if (failed)
		abort();
==

This can happen in mmap/munmap/mprotect/etc...which calls split_vma().

I think 65536 is not safe as _default_ and reduce it to 65530 is good
for avoiding unexpected corrupted core.

Anyway, max_map_count can be enlarged by sysctl if a user is brave..

      alpha: fix percpu build breakage · b01e8dc3
      Tejun Heo authored 
      alpha percpu access requires custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() definition for
modules to work around addressing range limitation.  This is done via
generating inline assembly using C preprocessing which forces the
assembler to generate external reference.  This happens behind the
compiler's back and makes the compiler think that static percpu variables
in modules are unused.

This used to be worked around by using __unused attribute for percpu
variables which prevent the compiler from omitting the variable; however,
recent declare/definition attribute unification change broke this as
__used can't be used for declaration.  Also, in the process,
PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES definition in alpha percpu.h got broken.

This patch adds PER_CPU_DEF_ATTRIBUTES which is only used for definitions
and make alpha use it to add __used for percpu variables in modules.  This
also fixes the PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES double definition bug.

      fbdev: work around old compiler bug · 15e32524
      Stephen Rothwell authored 
      When building with a 4.1.x compiler on powerpc64 (at least) we get this
error:

drivers/video/logo/logo_linux_mono.c:81: error: logo_linux_mono causes a section type conflict

This was introduced by commit ae52bb23
("fbdev: move logo externs to header file").  This is a partial revert of
that commit sufficient to not hit the compiler bug.

Also convert _clut arrays from __initconst to __initdata.

Sam said:

  Al analysed this some time ago.  When we say something is const then
  _sometimes_ gcc annotate the section as const(?) - sometimes not.  So if
  we have two variables/functions annotated __*const and gcc decides to
  annotate the section const only in one case we get a section type
  conflict.

      gcov: fix __ctors_start alignment · 2a2325e6
      Heiko Carstens authored 
      The ctors section for each object file is eight byte aligned (on 64 bit).
However the __ctors_start symbol starts at an arbitrary address dependent
on the size of the previous sections.

Therefore the linker may add some zeroes after __ctors_start to make sure
the ctors contents are properly aligned.  However the extra zeroes at the
beginning aren't expected by the code.  When walking the functions
pointers contained in there and extra zeroes are added this may result in
random jumps.  So make sure that the __ctors_start symbol is always
aligned as well.

Fixes this crash on an allyesconfig on s390:

      eventfd: revised interface and cleanups · 13389010
      Davide Libenzi authored 
      Change the eventfd interface to de-couple the eventfd memory context, from
the file pointer instance.

Without such change, there is no clean way to racely free handle the
POLLHUP event sent when the last instance of the file* goes away.  Also,
now the internal eventfd APIs are using the eventfd context instead of the
file*.

This patch is required by KVM's IRQfd code, which is still under
development.
