      MIPS: bootmem: Don't use memory holes for page bitmap · a6335fa1
      Alexander Sverdlin authored 
      Commit f9a7febd leads to a fact that mapstart and therefore a page bitmap for
bootmem allocator immediately follows initrd_end. This doesn't always work
well on Octeon, where there are holes in PFN ranges (refer to 5b3b1688 and
4MB-aligned PFN allocation). Depending on the inird location it could happen,
that mapstart would be in an area not allocated by plat_mem_setup() in
arch/mips/cavium-octeon/setup.c, but in the alignment hole between initrd and
the next PFN area. Later on this memory will be unconditionally made available
to buddy allocator at the end of free_all_bootmem_core() (mm/bootmem.c).
All of this results in Linux using the memory not designated for Linux in
Octeon's plat_mem_setup(), which in turn means corruption of the memory used
by another OS/baremetal code on the same SoC.

It doesn't look to me as a problem of Octeon platform code, but rather as an
inability of f9a7febd to deal correctly with the fragmented memory-mappings.
Proposed fix moves the check for initrd address to the same calculation-loop
in bootmem_init() (arch/mips/kernel/setup.c), which also accounts for kernel
code location. This should result in mapstart located starting from the first
PFN area after kernel code AND initrd.

      MIPS: O32: Do not handle require 32 bytes from the stack to be readable. · 7928eb03
      Ralf Baechle authored 
      Commit 46e12c07 (MIPS: O32 / 32-bit:
Always copy 4 stack arguments.) change the O32 syscall handler to always
load four arguments from the userspace stack even for syscalls that
require fewer or no arguments to be copied.  This removes a large table
from kernel space and need to maintain it.  It appeared that it was ok
the implementation chosen requires 16 bytes of readable stack space
above the user stack pointer.

Turned out a few threading implementations munmap the user stack before
the thread exits resulting in errors due to the unreadable stack.

We now treat any failed load as a if the loaded value was zero and let
the actual syscall deal with the situation.

Pull late x86 platform driver updates from Darren Hart:
 "The following came in a bit later and I wanted them to bake in next a
  few more days before submitting, thus the second pull.

  A new intel_pmc_ipc driver, a symmetrical allocation and free fix in
  dell-laptop, a couple minor fixes, and some updated documentation in
  the dell-laptop comments.

   - Add Intel Apollo Lake PMC IPC driver

   - Delete an unnecessary check before the function call "kfree"

  dell-laptop:
   - Fix allocating & freeing SMI buffer page
   - Show info about WiGig and UWB in debugfs
   - Update information about wireless control"

      Pull more vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "Assorted VFS fixes and related cleanups (IMO the most interesting in
  that part are f_path-related things and Eric's descriptor-related

  fs-cache series, DAX patches, Jan's file_remove_suid() work"

[ I'd say this is much more than "fixes and related cleanups".  The
  file_table locking rule change by Eric Dumazet is a rather big and
  fundamental update even if the patch isn't huge.   - Linus ]

      bluetooth: fix list handling · 9b284cbd
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Commit 835a6a2f ("Bluetooth: Stop sabotaging list poisoning")
thought that the code was sabotaging the list poisoning when NULL'ing
out the list pointers and removed it.

But what was going on was that the bluetooth code was using NULL
pointers for the list as a way to mark it empty, and that commit just
broke it (and replaced the test with NULL with a "list_empty()" test on
a uninitialized list instead, breaking things even further).

So fix it all up to use the regular and real list_empty() handling
(which does not use NULL, but a pointer to itself), also making sure to
initialize the list properly (the previous NULL case was initialized
implicitly by the session being allocated with kzalloc())

This is a combination of patches by Marcel Holtmann and Tedd Ho-Jeong
An.

[ I would normally expect to get this through the bt tree, but I'm going
  to release -rc1, so I'm just committing this directly   - Linus ]
