      Move dtc and libfdt sources from arch/powerpc/boot to scripts/dtc · 9fffb55f
      David Gibson authored
      The powerpc kernel always requires an Open Firmware like device tree
      to supply device information.  On systems without OF, this comes from
      a flattened device tree blob.  This blob is usually generated by dtc,
      a tool which compiles a text description of the device tree into the
      flattened format used by the kernel.  Sometimes, the bootwrapper makes
      small changes to the pre-compiled device tree blob (e.g. filling in
      the size of RAM).  To do this it uses the libfdt library.
      
      Because these are only used on powerpc, the code for both these tools
      is included under arch/powerpc/boot (these were imported and are
      periodically updated from the upstream dtc tree).
      
      However, the microblaze architecture, currently being prepared for
      merging to mainline also uses dtc to produce device tree blobs.  A few
      other archs have also mentioned some interest in using dtc.
      Therefore, this patch moves dtc and libfdt from arch/powerpc into
      scripts, where it can be used by any architecture.
      
      The vast bulk of this patch is a literal move, the rest is adjusting
      the various Makefiles to use dtc and libfdt correctly from their new
      locations.

      ibft: fix the display of a few fields in the NIC attribute structure in sysfs · 65fd2105

      Fix the display of a few fields in the iBFT NIC attribute structure in
      sysfs.
      
      Ensure that, if the DHCP IP address and the subnet mask for the interface
      is present in the iBFT NIC structure, the corresponding entries are
      created in sysfs tree for the device.  This would hence create the
      additional entries in the tree based on the iBFT table and would not
      delete any existing entries.

      scripts/kernel-doc can (incorrectly) delete struct members that are
      surrounded by /* ...  */ <struct members> /* ...  */ if there is a /*

      Fix that by making the "/* private:" only allow whitespace between /* and
      "private:", not anything/everything in the world.

      Because NR_CPUS can be greater than 1000 and meminfo_proc_show() does
      not check for underflow.
      
      But NR_CPUS proportional isn't good calculation.  In general,
      possibility of lock contention is proportional to the number of online
      cpus, not theorical maximum cpus (NR_CPUS).
      
      The current kernel has generic percpu-counter stuff.  using it is right
      way.  it makes code simplify and percpu_counter_read_positive() don't
      make underflow issue.

      alpha: binfmt_aout fix · 74641f58
      Ivan Kokshaysky authored
      This fixes the problem introduced by commit 3bfacef4 (get rid of
      special-casing the /sbin/loader on alpha): osf/1 ecoff binary segfaults
      when binfmt_aout built as module.  That happens because aout binary
      handler gets on the top of the binfmt list due to late registration, and
      kernel attempts to execute the binary without preparatory work that must
      be done by binfmt_loader.
      
      Fixed by changing the registration order of the default binfmt handlers
      using list_add_tail() and introducing insert_binfmt() function which
      places new handler on the top of the binfmt list.  This might be generally
      useful for installing arch-specific frontends for default handlers or just
      for overriding them.

      vgacon: return the upper half of 512 character fonts · b175dc09
      Stefan Bader authored
      Uwe Geuder noted that he gets random bitmaps on a text console if he tried
      to type extended characters (like the e acute).  For him everything above
      unicode 0xa0 was corrupted.
      
      After some digging there seems to be a little culprit in vgacon since the
      beginning of ages (well git).  The function vgacon_font_get will store the
      number of characters correctly in font->charcount but then calls to
      vgacon_do_font_op(..., 0, 0).  Which means only the lower 256 characters
      are actually stored to the fontdata.  The rest is left untouched.  So the
      next time that saved data is used, the garbled font appears.  This happens
      on every switch between text consoles.

      memcg: fix mem_cgroup_shrink_usage() · ae3abae6
      Daisuke Nishimura authored
      Current mem_cgroup_shrink_usage() has two problems.
      
      1. It doesn't call mem_cgroup_out_of_memory and doesn't update
         last_oom_jiffies, so pagefault_out_of_memory invokes global OOM.
      
      2. Considering hierarchy, shrinking has to be done from the
         mem_over_limit, not from the memcg which the page would be charged to.
      
      mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin() does all of these things properly, so we
      use it and call cancel_charge_swapin when it succeeded.
      
      The name of "shrink_usage" is not appropriate for this behavior, so we
      change it too.

      pagemap: require aligned-length, non-null reads of /proc/pid/pagemap · 08161786

      The intention of commit aae8679b
      ("pagemap: fix bug in add_to_pagemap, require aligned-length reads of
      /proc/pid/pagemap") was to force reads of /proc/pid/pagemap to be a
      multiple of 8 bytes, but now it allows to read 0 bytes, which actually
      puts some data to user's buffer.  According to POSIX, if count is zero,
      read() should return zero and has no other results.

      mm: close page_mkwrite races · b827e496
      Nick Piggin authored
      Change page_mkwrite to allow implementations to return with the page
      locked, and also change it's callers (in page fault paths) to hold the
      lock until the page is marked dirty.  This allows the filesystem to have
      full control of page dirtying events coming from the VM.
      
      Rather than simply hold the page locked over the page_mkwrite call, we
      call page_mkwrite with the page unlocked and allow callers to return with
      it locked, so filesystems can avoid LOR conditions with page lock.
      
      The problem with the current scheme is this: a filesystem that wants to
      associate some metadata with a page as long as the page is dirty, will
      perform this manipulation in its ->page_mkwrite.  It currently then must
      return with the page unlocked and may not hold any other locks (according
      to existing page_mkwrite convention).
      
      In this window, the VM could write out the page, clearing page-dirty.  The
      filesystem has no good way to detect that a dirty pte is about to be
      attached, so it will happily write out the page, at which point, the
      filesystem may manipulate the metadata to reflect that the page is no
      longer dirty.
      
      It is not always possible to perform the required metadata manipulation in
      ->set_page_dirty, because that function cannot block or fail.  The
      filesystem may need to allocate some data structure, for example.
      
      And the VM cannot mark the pte dirty before page_mkwrite, because
      page_mkwrite is allowed to fail, so we must not allow any window where the
      page could be written to if page_mkwrite does fail.
      
      This solution of holding the page locked over the 3 critical operations
      (page_mkwrite, setting the pte dirty, and finally setting the page dirty)
      closes out races nicely, preventing page cleaning for writeout being
      initiated in that window.  This provides the filesystem with a strong
      synchronisation against the VM here.
      
      - Sage needs this race closed for ceph filesystem.
      - Trond for NFS (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12913).
      - I need it for fsblock.
      - I suspect other filesystems may need it too (eg. btrfs).
      - I have converted buffer.c to the new locking. Even simple block allocation
        under dirty pages might be susceptible to i_size changing under partial page
        at the end of file (we also have a buffer.c-side problem here, but it cannot
        be fixed properly without this patch).
      - Other filesystems (eg. NFS, maybe btrfs) will need to change their
        page_mkwrite functions themselves.
      
      [ This also moves page_mkwrite another step closer to fault, which should
        eventually allow page_mkwrite to be moved into ->fault, and thus avoiding a
        filesystem calldown and page lock/unlock cycle in __do_fault. ]
