Fix an error in asn1_find_indefinite_length() whereby small definite length elements of size 0x7f are incorrecly classified as non-small. Without this fix, an error will be given as the length of the length will be perceived as being very much greater than the maximum supported size.

Don't use enum-type bitfields in the module signature info block as we can't be certain how the compiler will handle them. As I understand it, it is arch dependent, and it is possible for the compiler to rearrange them based on endianness and to insert a byte of padding to pad the three enums out to four bytes. Instead use u8 fields for these, which the compiler should emit in the right order without padding.

Pull workqueue fixes from Tejun Heo: "So, safe fixes my ass. Commit 8852aac2 ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on 0 delay") had the side-effect of performing delayed_work sanity checks even when @delay is 0, which should be fine for any sane use cases. Unfortunately, megaraid was being overly ingenious. It seemingly wanted to use cancel_delayed_work_sync() before cancel_work_sync() was introduced, but didn't want to waste the space for full delayed_work as it was only going to use 0 @delay. So, it only allocated space for struct work_struct and then cast it to struct delayed_work and passed it into delayed_work functions - truly awesome engineering tradeoff to save some bytes. Xiaotian fixed it by making megraid allocate full delayed_work for now. It should be converted to use work_struct and cancel_work_sync() but I think we better do that after 3.7. I added another commit to change BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s so that the kernel doesn't crash even if there are more such abuses." * 'for-3.7-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: workqueue: convert BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s megaraid: fix BUG_ON() from incorrect use of delayed work

The block device access simplification that avoided accessing the (racy) block size information (commit bbec0270: "blkdev_max_block: make private to fs/buffer.c") no longer checks the maximum block size in the block mapping path. That was _almost_ as simple as just removing the code entirely, because the readers and writers all check the size of the device anyway, so under normal circumstances it "just worked". However, the block size may be such that the end of the device may straddle one single buffer_head. At which point we may still want to access the end of the device, but the buffer we use to access it partially extends past the end. The 'bd_set_size()' function intentionally sets the block size to avoid this, but mounting the device - or setting the block size by hand to some other value - can modify that block size. So instead, teach 'submit_bh()' about the special case of the buffer head straddling the end of the device, and turning such an access into a smaller IO access, avoiding the problem. This, btw, also means that unlike before, we can now access the whole device regardless of device block size setting. So now, even if the device size is only 512-byte aligned, we can read and write even the last sector even when having a much bigger block size for accessing the rest of the device. So with this, we could now get rid of the 'bd_set_size()' block size code entirely - resulting in faster IO for the common case - but that would be a separate patch.

8852aac2 ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on 0 delay") unexpectedly uncovered a very nasty abuse of delayed_work in megaraid - it allocated work_struct, casted it to delayed_work and then pass that into queue_delayed_work(). Previously, this was okay because 0 @delay short-circuited to queue_work() before doing anything with delayed_work. 8852aac2 moved 0 @delay test into __queue_delayed_work() after sanity check on delayed_work making megaraid trigger BUG_ON(). Although megaraid is already fixed by c1d390d8 ("megaraid: fix BUG_ON() from incorrect use of delayed work"), this patch converts BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s so that such abusers, if there are more, trigger warning but don't crash the machine.

megaraid use INIT_WORK to declare a hotplug_work, but cast the hotplug_work from work_struct to delayed_work and schedule_delayed_work on it. This is very dangerous, as other part of delayed_work might be kernel memories allocated by others. With commit 8852aac2 ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on 0 delay"), schedule_delayed_work() will check dwork->timer before queue_work even when @delay is 0, this causes megaraid code to hit the BUG_ON() in workqueue code.

Newer versions of binutils mark '_end' as 'B' instead of 'A' for whatever reason. To be honest, the piggyback code doesn't actually care what kind of symbol _start and _end are, it just wants to find them and record the address. So remove the type from the match strings.

Merge 'block-dev' branch. I was going to just mark everything here for stable and leave it to the 3.8 merge window, but having decided on doing another -rc, I migth as well merge it now. This removes the bd_block_size_semaphore semaphore that was added in this release to fix a race condition between block size changes and block IO, and replaces it with atomicity guaratees in fs/buffer.c instead, along with simplifying fs/block-dev.c. This removes more lines than it adds, makes the code generally simpler, and avoids the latency/rt issues that the block size semaphore introduced for mount. I'm not happy with the timing, but it wouldn't be much better doing this during the merge window and then having some delayed back-port of it into stable. * block-dev: blkdev_max_block: make private to fs/buffer.c direct-io: don't read inode->i_blkbits multiple times blockdev: remove bd_block_size_semaphore again fs/buffer.c: make block-size be per-page and protected by the page lock

Pull late workqueue fixes from Tejun Heo: "Unfortunately, I have two really late fixes. One was for a long-standing bug and queued for 3.8 but I found out about a regression introduced during 3.7-rc1 two days ago, so I'm sending out the two fixes together. The first (long-standing) one is rescuer_thread() entering exit path w/ TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. It only triggers on workqueue destructions which isn't very frequent and the exit path can usually survive being called with TASK_INTERRUPT, so it was hidden pretty well. Apparently, if you're reiserfs, this could lead to the exiting kthread sleeping indefinitely holding a mutex, which is never good. The fix is simple - restoring TASK_RUNNING before returning from the kthread function. The second one is introduced by the new mod_delayed_work(). mod_delayed_work() was missing special case handling for 0 delay. Instead of queueing the work item immediately, it queued the timer which expires on the closest next tick. Some users of the new function converted from "[__]cancel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work()" combination became unhappy with the extra delay. Block unplugging led to noticeably higher number of context switches and intel 6250 wireless failed to associate with WPA-Enterprise network. The fix, again, is fairly simple. The 0 delay special case logic from queue_delayed_work_on() should be moved to __queue_delayed_work() which is shared by both queue_delayed_work_on() and mod_delayed_work_on(). The first one is difficult to trigger and the failure mode for the latter isn't completely catastrophic, so missing these two for 3.7 wouldn't make it a disastrous release, but both bugs are nasty and the fixes are fairly safe" * 'for-3.7-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on 0 delay workqueue: exit rescuer_thread() as TASK_RUNNING

8376fe22 ("workqueue: implement mod_delayed_work[_on]()") implemented mod_delayed_work[_on]() using the improved try_to_grab_pending(). The function is later used, among others, to replace [__]candel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work() combinations. Unfortunately, a delayed_work item w/ zero @delay is handled slightly differently by mod_delayed_work_on() compared to queue_delayed_work_on(). The latter skips timer altogether and directly queues it using queue_work_on() while the former schedules timer which will expire on the closest tick. This means, when @delay is zero, that [__]cancel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work_on() makes the target item immediately executable while mod_delayed_work_on() may induce delay of upto a full tick. This somewhat subtle difference breaks some of the converted users. e.g. block queue plugging uses delayed_work for deferred processing and uses mod_delayed_work_on() when the queue needs to be immediately unplugged. The above problem manifested as noticeably higher number of context switches under certain circumstances. The difference in behavior was caused by missing special case handling for 0 delay in mod_delayed_work_on() compared to queue_delayed_work_on(). Joonsoo Kim posted a patch to add it - ("workqueue: optimize mod_delayed_work_on() when @delay == 0")[1]. The patch was queued for 3.8 but it was described as optimization and I missed that it was a correctness issue. As both queue_delayed_work_on() and mod_delayed_work_on() use __queue_delayed_work() for queueing, it seems that the better approach is to move the 0 delay special handling to the function instead of duplicating it in mod_delayed_work_on(). Fix the problem by moving 0 delay special case handling from queue_delayed_work_on() to __queue_delayed_work(). This replaces Joonsoo's patch.

Pull target fix from Nicholas Bellinger: "So just a single target fix for v3.7.0 this time around from Roland to address a aborted command bug w/ tcm_qla2xxx fabric ports. Also, there is one outstanding IBLOCK + virtio-blk bug that is still being tracked down effecting v3.6.x, but AFAICT thus far this appears to be a bug outside of target code." * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending: target: Fix handling of aborted commands

When a cpu enters S3 state, the FPU state is lost. After resuming for S3, if we try to lazy restore the FPU for a process running on the same CPU, this will result in a corrupted FPU context. Ensure that "fpu_owner_task" is properly invalided when (re-)initializing a CPU, so nobody will try to lazy restore a state which doesn't exist in the hardware. Tested with a 64-bit kernel on a 4-core Ivybridge CPU with eagerfpu=off, by doing thousands of suspend/resume cycles with 4 processes doing FPU operations running. Without the patch, a process is killed after a few hundreds cycles by a SIGFPE.
