      Pull ARM fixes from Russell King:
       "The largest thing in this set of changes is bringing back some of the
        ARMv3 code to fix a compile problem noticed on RiscPC, which we still
        support, even though we only support ARMv4 there.
      
        (The reason is that the system bus doesn't support ARMv4 half-word
        accesses, so we need the ARMv3 library code for this platform.)
      
        The rest are all quite minor fixes."

      This mainly fixes some confusion about whether the open 'mode' variable
      passed around should contain the full file type (S_IFREG etc)
      information or just the permission mode.  In particular, the lack of
      proper file type information had confused fuse.

      md/raid10: fix problem with on-stack allocation of r10bio structure. · e0ee7785
      NeilBrown authored
      A 'struct r10bio' has an array of per-copy information at the end.
      This array is declared with size [0] and r10bio_pool_alloc allocates
      enough extra space to store the per-copy information depending on the
      number of copies needed.
      
      So declaring a 'struct r10bio on the stack isn't going to work.  It
      won't allocate enough space, and memory corruption will ensue.
      
      So in the two places where this is done, declare a sufficiently large
      structure and use that instead.
      
      The two call-sites of this bug were introduced in 3.4 and 3.5
      so this is suitable for both those kernels.  The patch will have to
      be modified for 3.4 as it only has one bug.

      cpuidle: Prevent null pointer dereference in cpuidle_coupled_cpu_notify · 5fbbb90d
      Jon Medhurst (Tixy) authored
      When a kernel is built to support multiple hardware types it's possible
      that CONFIG_ARCH_NEEDS_CPU_IDLE_COUPLED is set but the hardware the
      kernel is run on doesn't support cpuidle and therefore doesn't load a
      driver for it. In this case, when the system is shut down,
      cpuidle_coupled_cpu_notify() gets called with cpuidle_devices set to
      NULL. There are quite possibly other circumstances where this
      situation can also occur and we should check for it.

      PM / Runtime: Check device PM QoS setting before "no callbacks" check · 55d7ec45
      Rafael J. Wysocki authored
      If __dev_pm_qos_read_value(dev) returns a negative value,
      rpm_suspend() should return -EPERM for dev even if its
      power.no_callbacks flag is set.  For this to happen, the device's
      power.no_callbacks flag has to be checked after the PM QoS check,
      so move the PM QoS check to rpm_check_suspend_allowed() (this will
      make it cover idle notifications as well as runtime suspend too).

      PM / Runtime: Clear power.deferred_resume on success in rpm_suspend() · 58a34de7
      Rafael J. Wysocki authored
      The power.deferred_resume can only be set if the runtime PM status
      of device is RPM_SUSPENDING and it should be cleared after its
      status has been changed, regardless of whether or not the runtime
      suspend has been successful.  However, it only is cleared on
      suspend failure, while it may remain set on successful suspend and
      is happily leaked to rpm_resume() executed in that case.
      
      That shouldn't happen, so if power.deferred_resume is set in
      rpm_suspend() after the status has been changed to RPM_SUSPENDED,
      clear it before calling rpm_resume().  Then, it doesn't need to be
      cleared before changing the status to RPM_SUSPENDING any more,
      because it's always cleared after the status has been changed to
      either RPM_SUSPENDED (on success) or RPM_ACTIVE (on failure).

      PM / Runtime: Fix rpm_resume() return value for power.no_callbacks set · 7f321c26
      Rafael J. Wysocki authored
      For devices whose power.no_callbacks flag is set, rpm_resume()
      should return 1 if the device's parent is already active, so that
      the callers of pm_runtime_get() don't think that they have to wait
      for the device to resume (asynchronously) in that case (the core
      won't queue up an asynchronous resume in that case, so there's
      nothing to wait for anyway).
      
      Modify the code accordingly (and make sure that an idle notification
      will be queued up on success, even if 1 is to be returned).

      system that is marked as shared (such as when systemd does the
      equivalent of "mount --make-rshared /" early in the boot), mounts
      stop expiring.
      
      When this happens the first expiry check on a mountpoint dentry in
      autofs_expire_indirect() sees a mountpoint dentry with a higher
      than minimal reference count. Consequently the dentry is condidered
      busy and the actual expiry check is never done.
      
      This particular check was originally meant as an optimisation to
      detect a path walk in progress but with the addition of rcu-walk
      it can be ineffective anyway.
      
      Removing the test allows automounts to expire again since the
      actual expire check doesn't rely on the dentry reference count.

      ext4: fix kernel BUG on large-scale rm -rf commands · 89a4e48f
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      Commit 968dee77: "ext4: fix hole punch failure when depth is greater
      than 0" introduced a regression in v3.5.1/v3.6-rc1 which caused kernel
      crashes when users ran run "rm -rf" on large directory hierarchy on
      ext4 filesystems on RAID devices:
      
          BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000028

      This could be reproduced as follows:
      
      The problem in commit 968dee77 was that caused the variable 'i' to
      be left uninitialized if the truncate required more space than was
      available in the journal.  This resulted in the function
      ext4_ext_truncate_extend_restart() returning -EAGAIN, which caused
      ext4_ext_remove_space() to restart the truncate operation after
      starting a new jbd2 handle.

      ext4: fix long mount times on very big file systems · 0548bbb8
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      Commit 8aeb00ff: "ext4: fix overhead calculation used by
      ext4_statfs()" introduced a O(n**2) calculation which makes very large
      file systems take forever to mount.  Fix this with an optimization for
      non-bigalloc file systems.  (For bigalloc file systems the overhead
      needs to be set in the the superblock.)

      ext4: don't call ext4_error while block group is locked · 7a4c5de2
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      While in ext4_validate_block_bitmap(), if an block allocation bitmap
      is found to be invalid, we call ext4_error() while the block group is
      still locked.  This causes ext4_commit_super() to call a function
      which might sleep while in an atomic context.
      
      There's no need to keep the block group locked at this point, so hoist
      the ext4_error() call up to ext4_validate_block_bitmap() and release
      the block group spinlock before calling ext4_error().
      
      The reported stack trace can be found at:

      Yama: access task_struct->comm directly · 7612bfee
      Kees Cook authored
      The core ptrace access checking routine holds a task lock, and when
      reporting a failure, Yama takes a separate task lock. To avoid a
      potential deadlock with two ptracers taking the opposite locks, do not
      use get_task_comm() and just use ->comm directly since accuracy is not
      important for the report.
