Since commit 36bc08cc ("fs/aio: Add support to aio ring pages migration") the aio ring setup code has used a special per-ring backing inode for the page allocations, rather than just using random anonymous pages. However, rather than remembering the pages as it allocated them, it would allocate the pages, insert them into the file mapping (dirty, so that they couldn't be free'd), and then forget about them. And then to look them up again, it would mmap the mapping, and then use "get_user_pages()" to get back an array of the pages we just created. Now, not only is that incredibly inefficient, it also leaked all the pages if the mmap failed (which could happen due to excessive number of mappings, for example). So clean it all up, making it much more straightforward. Also remove some left-overs of the previous (broken) mm_populate() usage that was removed in commit d6c355c7 ("aio: fix race in ring buffer page lookup introduced by page migration support") but left the pointless and now misleading MAP_POPULATE flag around.

The arbitrary restriction on page counts offered by the core migrate_page_move_mapping() code results in rather suspicious looking fiddling with page reference counts in the aio_migratepage() operation. To fix this, make migrate_page_move_mapping() take an extra_count parameter that allows aio to tell the code about its own reference count on the page being migrated. While cleaning up aio_migratepage(), make it validate that the old page being passed in is actually what aio_migratepage() expects to prevent misbehaviour in the case of races.

Commit 1bf49dd4 ("./Makefile: export initial ramdisk compression config option") started setting the INITRD_COMPRESS environment variable depending on which decompression models the kernel had available. That is completely broken. For example, we by default have CONFIG_RD_LZ4 enabled, and are able to decompress such an initrd, but the user tools to *create* such an initrd may not be availble. So trying to tell dracut to generate an lz4-compressed image just because we can decode such an image is completely inappropriate.

Commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") meant to bring aging fairness among zones in system, but it was overzealous and badly regressed basic workloads on NUMA systems. Due to the way kswapd and page allocator interacts, we still want to make sure that all zones in any given node are used equally for all allocations to maximize memory utilization and prevent thrashing on the highest zone in the node. While the same principle applies to NUMA nodes - memory utilization is obviously improved by spreading allocations throughout all nodes - remote references can be costly and so many workloads prefer locality over memory utilization. The original change assumed that zone_reclaim_mode would be a good enough predictor for that, but it turned out to be as indicative as a coin flip. Revert the NUMA aspect of the fairness until we can find a proper way to make it configurable and agree on a sane default.

Sasha Levin found a NULL pointer dereference that is due to a missing page table lock, which in turn is due to the pmd entry in question being a transparent huge-table entry. The code - introduced in commit 1998cc04 ("mm: make madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) support swap file prefetch") - correctly checks for this situation using pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad(), but it turns out that that function doesn't work correctly. pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() expected that pmd_bad() would trigger if the transparent hugepage bit was set, but it doesn't do that if pmd_numa() is also set. Note that the NUMA bit only gets set on real NUMA machines, so people trying to reproduce this on most normal development systems would never actually trigger this. Fix it by removing the very subtle (and subtly incorrect) expectation, and instead just checking pmd_trans_huge() explicitly.

This patch adds a check on the output buffer with access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE, ...) to ensure the whole buffer is in userspace memory before using the pointer in uverbs functions. If the buffer or a subset of it is not valid, returns -EFAULT to the caller. This will also catch invalid buffer before the final call to copy_to_user() which happen late in most uverb functions. Just like the check in read(2) syscall, it's a sanity check to detect invalid parameters provided by userspace. This particular check was added in vfs_read() by Linus Torvalds for v2.6.12 with following commit message: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git/commit/?id=fd770e66c9a65b14ce114e171266cf6f393df502 Make read/write always do the full "access_ok()" tests. The actual user copy will do them too, but only for the range that ends up being actually copied. That hides bugs when the range has been clamped by file size or other issues. Note: there's no need to check input buffer since vfs_write() already does access_ok(VERIFY_READ, ...) as part of write() syscall.

Since ib_copy_from_udata() doesn't check yet the available input data length before accessing userspace memory, an explicit check of this length is required to prevent: - reading past the user provided buffer, - underflow when subtracting the expected command size from the input length.

Just like the check added to create_flow in 22878dbc ("IB/core: Better checking of userspace values for receive flow steering"), comp_mask must be checked in destroy_flow too. Since only empty comp_mask is currently supported, any other value must be rejected. This check was silently added in a previous patch[1] to move comp_mask in extended command header, part of previous patchset[2] against create/destroy_flow uverbs. The idea of moving comp_mask to the header was discarded for the final patchset[3]. Unfortunately the check added in destroy_flow uverb was not integrated in the final patchset.

Trying to have a ternary operator to choose between NULL (or 0) and the real pointer value in invocations leads to an impossible choice between a sparse error about a literal 0 used as a NULL pointer, and a gcc warning about "pointer/integer type mismatch in conditional expression." Rather than clutter the source with more casts, move the ternary operator into a new INIT_UDATA_BUF_OR_NULL() macro, which makes it easier to use and simplifies its callers.

Pull Xen bugfixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk: - Fix balloon driver for auto-translate guests (PVHVM, ARM) to not use scratch pages. - Fix block API header for ARM32 and ARM64 to have proper layout - On ARM when mapping guests, stick on PTE_SPECIAL - When using SWIOTLB under ARM, don't call swiotlb functions twice - When unmapping guests memory and if we fail, don't return pages which failed to be unmapped. - Grant driver was using the wrong address on ARM. * tag 'stable/for-linus-3.13-rc4-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip: xen/balloon: Seperate the auto-translate logic properly (v2) xen/block: Correctly define structures in public headers on ARM32 and ARM64 arm: xen: foreign mapping PTEs are special. xen/arm64: do not call the swiotlb functions twice xen: privcmd: do not return pages which we have failed to unmap XEN: Grant table address, xen_hvm_resume_frames, is a phys_addr not a pfn

Merge tag 'trace-fixes-v3.13-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull ftrace fix from Steven Rostedt: "This fixes a long standing bug in the ftrace profiler. The problem is that the profiler only initializes the online CPUs, and not possible CPUs. This causes issues if the user takes CPUs online or offline while the profiler is running. If we online a CPU after starting the profiler, we lose all the trace information on the CPU going online. If we offline a CPU after running a test and start a new test, it will not clear the old data from that CPU. This bug causes incorrect data to be reported to the user if they online or offline CPUs during the profiling" * tag 'trace-fixes-v3.13-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: ftrace: Initialize the ftrace profiler for each possible cpu

Merge tag 'omap-for-v3.13/display-fix' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap into fixes I accidentally removed some mux code for omap4 that I thought was dead code as omap4 has been booting with device tree only since v3.10. Turns out I also removed some display related mux code, so let's revert that except for the dead code parts. * tag 'omap-for-v3.13/display-fix' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap: (439 commits) Revert "ARM: OMAP2+: Remove legacy mux code for display.c" +Linux 3.13-rc4
