In ib_uverbs_open_qp, the sharable xrc target qp is created as a
"pseudo" qp and added to a list of qp's sharing the same physical
QP. This is done before the "pseudo" qp is assigned a uobject.
There is a race condition here if an async event arrives at the
physical qp. If the event is handled after the pseudo qp is added to
the list, but before it is assigned a uobject, the kernel crashes in
ib_uverbs_qp_event_handler, due to trying to dereference a NULL
uobject pointer.
Note that simply checking for non-NULL is not enough, due to error
flows in ib_uverbs_open_qp. If the failure is after assigning the
uobject, but before the qp has fully been created, we still have a
problem.
Thus, in ib_uverbs_qp_event_handler, we test that the uobject is
present, and also that it is live.

The emu10k1 voice allocator takes voice_lock spinlock. When there is
no empty stream available, it tries to release a voice used by synth,
and calls get_synth_voice. The callback function,
snd_emu10k1_synth_get_voice(), however, also takes the voice_lock,
thus it deadlocks.
The fix is simply removing the voice_lock holds in
snd_emu10k1_synth_get_voice(), as this is always called in the
spinlock context.

In the unlock loop of snd_pcm_action_group(), the object "s" is used
as the check of nonatomic PCM, but it should be rather "s1", which is
the iterator of the loop. This supposedly causes a kernel panic when
the substreams in operatino are linked.

Pull do_umount fix from Andy Lutomirski:
"This fix really ought to be safe. Inside a mountns owned by a
non-root user namespace, the namespace root almost always has
MNT_LOCKED set (if it doesn't, then there's a bug, because rootfs
could be exposed). In that case, calling umount on "/" will return
-EINVAL with or without this patch.
Outside a userns, this patch will have no effect. may_mount, required
by umount, already checks
ns_capable(current->nsproxy->mnt_ns->user_ns, CAP_SYS_ADMIN)
so an additional capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) check will have no effect.
That leaves anything that calls umount on "/" in a non-root userns
while chrooted. This is the case that is currently broken (it
remounts ro, which shouldn't be allowed) and that my patch changes to
-EPERM. If anything relies on *that*, I'd be surprised"

The main 'md' thread is needed for processing writes, so if it blocks
write requests could be delayed.
Starting a new thread requires some GFP_KERNEL allocations and so can
wait for writes to complete. This can deadlock.
So instead, ask a workqueue to start the sync thread.
There is no particular rush for this to happen, so any work queue
will do.
MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING is used to ensure only one thread is started.

printk may cause long time lapse if value of printk_delay in sysctl is
configured large by user. If register_md_personality takes long time to print in
spinlock pers_lock, we may encounter high CPU usage rate when there are other
pers_lock competitors who may be blocked to spin.
We can avoid this condition by moving printk out of coverage of pers_lock
spinlock.

In general we don't allow an array to be stopped if it is in use.
However if the array hasn't really been started yet, then any
apparent use is an anomily, probably due to 'udev' or similar
having a look to see what is there.
This means that if something goes wrong while assembling an array
it cannot reliably be un-assembled - STOP_ARRAY could fail.
There is no value here, so change do_md_stop() to succeed
despite concurrent opens if the array has not yet been
activated. i.e. if ->pers is NULL.

"This patch set contains the main portion of the changes for 3.18 in
regard to the s390 architecture. It is a bit bigger than usual,
mainly because of a new driver and the vector extension patches.
The interesting bits are:
- Quite a bit of work on the tracing front. Uprobes is enabled and
the ftrace code is reworked to get some of the lost performance
back if CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled.
- To improve boot time with CONFIG_DEBIG_PAGEALLOC, support for the
IPTE range facility is added.
- The rwlock code is re-factored to improve writer fairness and to be
able to use the interlocked-access instructions.
- The kernel part for the support of the vector extension is added.
- The device driver to access the CD/DVD on the HMC is added, this
will hopefully come in handy to improve the installation process.
- Add support for control-unit initiated reconfiguration.
- The crypto device driver is enhanced to enable the additional AP
domains and to allow the new crypto hardware to be used.

For VMAs that don't want write notifications, PTEs created for read faults
have their write bit set. If the read fault happens after VM_SOFTDIRTY is
cleared, then the PTE's softdirty bit will remain clear after subsequent
writes.
Here's a simple code snippet to demonstrate the bug:
char* m = mmap(NULL, getpagesize(), PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_SHARED, -1, 0);
system("echo 4 > /proc/$PPID/clear_refs"); /* clear VM_SOFTDIRTY */
assert(*m == '\0'); /* new PTE allows write access */
assert(!soft_dirty(x));
*m = 'x'; /* should dirty the page */
assert(soft_dirty(x)); /* fails */
With this patch, write notifications are enabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is
cleared. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary faults, write notifications
are disabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is set.
As a side effect of enabling and disabling write notifications with
care, this patch fixes a bug in mprotect where vm_page_prot bits set by
drivers were zapped on mprotect. An analogous bug was fixed in mmap by
commit c9d0bf241451 ("mm: uncached vma support with writenotify").

Consolidate the various external const and non-const declarations of
__start___param[] and __stop___param in <linux/moduleparam.h>. This
requires making a few struct kernel_param pointers in kernel/params.c
const.

Use watchdog_enable_hardlockup_detector() to set hard lockup detection's
default value to false. It's risky to run this detection in a guest, as
false positives are easy to trigger, especially if the host is
overcommitted.

In some cases we don't want hard lockup detection enabled by default.
An example is when running as a guest. Introduce
watchdog_enable_hardlockup_detector(bool)
allowing those cases to disable hard lockup detection. This must be
executed early by the boot processor from e.g. smp_prepare_boot_cpu, in
order to allow kernel command line arguments to override it, as well as
to avoid hard lockup detection being enabled before we've had a chance
to indicate that it's unwanted. In summary,
initial boot: default=enabled
smp_prepare_boot_cpu
watchdog_enable_hardlockup_detector(false): default=disabled
cmdline has 'nmi_watchdog=1': default=enabled
The running kernel still has the ability to enable/disable at any time
with /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog us usual. However even when the
default has been overridden /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog will initially
show '1'. To truly turn it on one must disable/enable it, i.e.
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
This patch will be immediately useful for KVM with the next patch of this
series. Other hypervisor guest types may find it useful as well.
