Per document, for feature control MSR:
Bit 1 enables VMXON in SMX operation. If the bit is clear, execution
of VMXON in SMX operation causes a general-protection exception.
Bit 2 enables VMXON outside SMX operation. If the bit is clear, execution
of VMXON outside SMX operation causes a general-protection exception.
This patch is to enable this kind of check with SMX for VMXON in KVM.

commit ac9721f3f54b27a16c7e1afb2481e7ee95a70318 upstream.
In order to move toward separate buffer objects, rework the whole
perf_mmap_data construct to be a more self-sufficient entity, one
with its own lifetime rules.
This greatly sanitizes the whole output redirection code, which
was riddled with bugs and races.

commit 79907d89c397b8bc2e05b347ec94e928ea919d33 upstream.
10, 233 is allocated officially to /dev/kmview which is shipping in
Ubuntu and Debian distributions. vhost_net seem to have borrowed it
without making a proper request and this causes regressions in the other
distributions.
vhost_net can use a dynamic minor so use that instead. Also update the
file with a comment to try and avoid future misunderstandings.

commit b83733639a494d5f42fa00a2506563fbd2d3015d upstream.
It was reported in http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/3/8/309 that 32 bit readv and
writev AIO operations were not functioning properly. It turns out that
the code to convert the 32bit io vectors to 64 bits was never written.
The results of that can be pretty bad, but in my testing, it mostly ended
up in generating EFAULT as we walked off the list of I/O vectors provided.
This patch set fixes the problem in my environment. are greatly
appreciated.
This patch:
Factor out code that will be used by both compat_do_readv_writev and the
compat aio submission code paths.

commit 73367bd8eef4f4eb311005886aaa916013073265 upstream.
This patch is meant to improve the performance of SLUB by moving the local
kmem_cache_node lock into it's own cacheline separate from kmem_cache.
This is accomplished by simply removing the local_node when NUMA is enabled.
On my system with 2 nodes I saw around a 5% performance increase w/
hackbench times dropping from 6.2 seconds to 5.9 seconds on average. I
suspect the performance gain would increase as the number of nodes
increases, but I do not have the data to currently back that up.

commit 9d85cba718efeef9ca00ce3f7f34f5880737aa9b upstream.
The aio compat code was not converting the struct iovecs from 32bit to
64bit pointers, causing either EINVAL to be returned from io_getevents, or
EFAULT as the result of the I/O. This patch passes a compat flag to
io_submit to signal that pointer conversion is necessary for a given iocb
array.
A variant of this was tested by Michael Tokarev. I have also updated the
libaio test harness to exercise this code path with good success.
Further, I grabbed a copy of ltp and ran the
testcases/kernel/syscall/readv and writev tests there (compiled with -m32
on my 64bit system). All seems happy, but extra eyes on this would be
welcome.

commit e9d6c157385e4efa61cb8293e425c9d8beba70d3 upstream.
Shaohua Li reported parallel file copy on tmpfs can lead to OOM killer.
This is regression of caused by commit 9ff473b9a7 ("vmscan: evict
streaming IO first"). Wow, It is 2 years old patch!
Currently, tmpfs file cache is inserted active list at first. This means
that the insertion doesn't only increase numbers of pages in anon LRU, but
it also reduces anon scanning ratio. Therefore, vmscan will get totally
confused. It scans almost only file LRU even though the system has plenty
unused tmpfs pages.
Historically, lru_cache_add_active_anon() was used for two reasons.
1) Intend to priotize shmem page rather than regular file cache.
2) Intend to avoid reclaim priority inversion of used once pages.
But we've lost both motivation because (1) Now we have separate anon and
file LRU list. then, to insert active list doesn't help such priotize.
(2) In past, one pte access bit will cause page activation. then to
insert inactive list with pte access bit mean higher priority than to
insert active list. Its priority inversion may lead to uninteded lru
chun. but it was already solved by commit 645747462 (vmscan: detect
mapped file pages used only once). (Thanks Hannes, you are great!)
Thus, now we can use lru_cache_add_anon() instead.

commit ff9c895f07d36193c75533bda8193bde8ca99d02 upstream.
This patch (as1368) fixes a rather obscure bug in usbmon: When tracing
URBs sent by the scatter-gather library, it accesses the data buffers
while they are still mapped for DMA.
The solution is to move the mapping and unmapping out of the s-g
library and into the usual place in hcd.c. This requires the addition
of new URB flag bits to describe the kind of mapping needed, since we
have to call dma_map_sg() if the HCD supports native scatter-gather
operation and dma_map_page() if it doesn't. The nice thing about
having the new flags is that they simplify the testing for unmapping.
The patch removes the only caller of usb_buffer_[un]map_sg(), so those
functions are #if'ed out. A later patch will remove them entirely.
As a result of this change, urb->sg will be set in situations where
it wasn't set previously. Hence the xhci and whci drivers are
adjusted to test urb->num_sgs instead, which retains its original
meaning and is nonzero only when the HCD has to handle a scatterlist.
Finally, even when a submission error occurs we don't want to hand
URBs to usbmon before they are unmapped. The submission path is
rearranged so that map_urb_for_dma() is called only for non-root-hub
URBs and unmap_urb_for_dma() is called immediately after a submission
error. This simplifies the error handling.

TCP MD5 support uses percpu data for temporary storage. It currently
disables preemption so that same storage cannot be reclaimed by another
thread on same cpu.
We also have to make sure a softirq handler wont try to use also same

Fix is to disable preemption and BH.

1) i_flags simply doesn't work for mount/unlink race prevention;
we may have many links to file and rm on one of those obviously
shouldn't prevent bind on top of another later on. To fix it
right way we need to mark _dentry_ as unsuitable for mounting
upon; new flag (DCACHE_CANT_MOUNT) is protected by d_flags and
i_mutex on the inode in question. Set it (with dont_mount(dentry))
in unlink/rmdir/etc., check (with cant_mount(dentry)) in places
in namespace.c that used to check for S_DEAD. Setting S_DEAD
is still needed in places where we used to set it (for directories
getting killed), since we rely on it for readdir/rmdir race
prevention.
2) rename()/mount() protection has another bogosity - we unhash
the target before we'd checked that it's not a mountpoint. Fixed.
3) ancient bogosity in pivot_root() - we locked i_mutex on the
right directory, but checked S_DEAD on the different (and wrong)
one. Noticed and fixed.

Originally, commit d899bf7b ("procfs: provide stack information for
threads") attempted to introduce a new feature for showing where the
threadstack was located and how many pages are being utilized by the
stack.
Commit c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage on NOMMU") was
applied to fix the NO_MMU case.
Commit 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on
64-bit") was applied to fix a bug in ia32 executables being loaded.
Commit 9ebd4eba7 ("procfs: fix /proc/<pid>/stat stack pointer for kernel
threads") was applied to fix a bug which had kernel threads printing a
userland stack address.
Commit 1306d603f ('proc: partially revert "procfs: provide stack
information for threads"') was then applied to revert the stack pages
being used to solve a significant performance regression.
This patch nearly undoes the effect of all these patches.
The reason for reverting these is it provides an unusable value in
field 28. For x86_64, a fork will result in the task->stack_start
value being updated to the current user top of stack and not the stack
start address. This unpredictability of the stack_start value makes
it worthless. That includes the intended use of showing how much stack
space a thread has.
Other architectures will get different values. As an example, ia64
gets 0. The do_fork() and copy_process() functions appear to treat the
stack_start and stack_size parameters as architecture specific.
I only partially reverted c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage
on NOMMU") . If I had completely reverted it, I would have had to change
mm/Makefile only build pagewalk.o when CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR is
configured. Since I could not test the builds without significant effort,
I decided to not change mm/Makefile.
I only partially reverted 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack
information for threads on 64-bit") . I left the KSTK_ESP() change in
place as that seemed worthwhile.

An earlier regression fix for the mxb driver (V4L/DVB: saa7146_vv: fix
regression where v4l2_device was registered too late) caused a new
regression in the av7110 driver.
Reverted the old fix and fixed the problem in the mxb driver instead.
Tested on mxb and budget-av cards.
The real problem is that the saa7146 framework has separate probe()
and attach() driver callbacks which should be rolled into one. This
is now done for the mxb driver, but others should do the same. Lack
of hardware makes this hard to do, though. I hope to get hold of some
hexium cards and then I can try to improve the framework to prevent
this from happening again.

ICMP protocol unreachable handling completely disregarded

This was because the sctp_wait_for_connect() would aqcure the socket
lock and then proceed to release the last reference count on the
association, thus cause the fully destruction path to finish freeing
the socket.
The simplest solution is to start a very short timer in case the socket
is owned by user. When the timer expires, we can do some verification
and be able to do the release properly.

For more clearance what the functions actually do,
usb_buffer_alloc() is renamed to usb_alloc_coherent()
usb_buffer_free() is renamed to usb_free_coherent()
They should only be used in code which really needs DMA coherency.

Its an skb_over_panic BUG halt that results from processing an init chunk in
which too many of its variable length parameters are in some way malformed.
The problem is in sctp_process_unk_param:
if (NULL == *errp)
*errp = sctp_make_op_error_space(asoc, chunk,
ntohs(chunk->chunk_hdr->length));
if (*errp) {
sctp_init_cause(*errp, SCTP_ERROR_UNKNOWN_PARAM,
WORD_ROUND(ntohs(param.p->length)));
sctp_addto_chunk(*errp,
WORD_ROUND(ntohs(param.p->length)),
param.v);
When we allocate an error chunk, we assume that the worst case scenario requires
that we have chunk_hdr->length data allocated, which would be correct nominally,
given that we call sctp_addto_chunk for the violating parameter. Unfortunately,
we also, in sctp_init_cause insert a sctp_errhdr_t structure into the error
chunk, so the worst case situation in which all parameters are in violation
requires chunk_hdr->length+(sizeof(sctp_errhdr_t)*param_count) bytes of data.
The result of this error is that a deliberately malformed packet sent to a
listening host can cause a remote DOS, described in CVE-2010-1173:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2010-1173
I've tested the below fix and confirmed that it fixes the issue. We move to a
strategy whereby we allocate a fixed size error chunk and ignore errors we don't
have space to report. Tested by me successfully

sk->sk_data_ready() of sctp socket can be called from both BH and non-BH
contexts, but the default sk->sk_data_ready(), sock_def_readable(), can
not be used in this case. Therefore, we have to make a new function
sctp_data_ready() to grab sk->sk_data_ready() with BH disabling.
=========================================================
[ INFO: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected ]
2.6.33-rc6 #129
---------------------------------------------------------
sctp_darn/1517 just changed the state of lock:
(clock-AF_INET){++.?..}, at: [<c06aab60>] sock_def_readable+0x20/0x80
but this lock took another, SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock in the past:
(slock-AF_INET){+.-...}
and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them.
other info that might help us debug this:
1 lock held by sctp_darn/1517:

Signed-off-by: Joern Engel <joern@logfs.org>
Changed the BUG_ON() to a WARN_ON(). Note that adding dirty inodes
to the noop_backing_dev_info is not legal and will not result in
them being flushed, but we already catch this condition in
__mark_inode_dirty() when checking for a registered bdi.

If a futex key happens to be located within a huge page mapped
MAP_PRIVATE, get_futex_key() can go into an infinite loop waiting for a
page->mapping that will never exist.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=552257 for more details
about the problem.
This patch makes page->mapping a poisoned value that includes
PAGE_MAPPING_ANON mapped MAP_PRIVATE. This is enough for futex to
continue but because of PAGE_MAPPING_ANON, the poisoned value is not
dereferenced or used by futex. No other part of the VM should be
dereferencing the page->mapping of a hugetlbfs page as its page cache is
not on the LRU.
This patch fixes the problem with the test case described in the bugzilla.

This cleans up a few of the complaints of __generic_block_fiemap. I've
fixed all the typing stuff, used inline functions instead of macros,
gotten rid of a couple of variables, and made sure the size and block

FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST wasn't being set properly.

Commit 2c61be0a9478258f77b66208a0c4b1f5f8161c3c (NFS: Ensure that the WRITE
and COMMIT RPC calls are always uninterruptible) exposed a race on file
close. In order to ensure correct close-to-open behaviour, we want to wait
for all outstanding background commit operations to complete.
This patch adds an inode flag that indicates if a commit operation is under
way, and provides a mechanism to allow ->write_inode() to wait for its
completion if this is a data integrity flush.
