hfsplus was already using the handlers for get and set operations,
and with the removal of can_set_xattr we've now allow operations that
wouldn't otherwise be allowed.
With this we can also centralize the special-casing of the osx.
attrs that don't have prefixes on disk in the osx xattr handlers.

Move sync_filesystem() after sb_prepare_remount_readonly(). If writers
sneak in anywhere from sync_filesystem() to sb_prepare_remount_readonly()
it can cause inodes to be dirtied and writeback to occur well after
sys_mount() has completely successfully.
This was spotted by corrupted ubifs filesystems on reboot, but appears
that it can cause issues with any filesystem using writeback.

Pull ACPI and power management fixes and cleanups from Rafael Wysocki:
- ACPI device hotplug fix preventing ACPI drivers from binding to device
objects that acpi_bus_trim() has been called for and the devices
represented by them may not be operational.
- Recent cpufreq changes related to the "boost" (turbo) feature broke
the acpi-cpufreq error code path causing a NULL pointer dereference
to occur on some systems. Fix from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk.
- The log level of a CPU initialization error message added recently
needs to be reduced, because the particular BIOS issue indicated by
it turns out to be widespread and doesn't really matter for the
majority of systems having it. From Jiang Liu.
- The regulator API needs to be told to stay away from things on systems
with ACPI BIOSes or it may conflict with the BIOS' own handling of
voltage regulators. Fix from Mark Brown that works around a 3.13
regression in lm90 on PCs occuring if the regulator API is enabled.
- Prevent the Exynos4 devfreq driver from being built on multiplatform,
because it depends on things that aren't available during such builds.
From Sachin Kamat.
- Upstream ACPICA doesn't use the bool type as defined in the kernel,
so modify the kernel's ACPICA code to follow the upstream in that
respect (only one variable definition is affected) to reduce
divergences between the two. From Lv Zheng.
- Make the ACPI device PM code use ACPI_COMPANION() instead of its own
routine doing the same thing (and invokng ACPI_COMPANION() in the
process).
- Modify some routines in the ACPI processor driver to follow the
common convention and return negative integers on errors. From

The patch 3ddc5b46a8e90f3c9251338b60191d0a804b0d92 breaks networking on
alpha (there is a follow-up fix 5cfe8f1ba5eebe6f4b6e5858cdb1a5be4f3272a6,
but networking is still broken even with the second patch).
The patch 3ddc5b46a8e90f3c9251338b60191d0a804b0d92 makes
csum_partial_copy_from_user check the pointer with access_ok. However,
csum_partial_copy_from_user is called also from csum_partial_copy_nocheck
and csum_partial_copy_nocheck is called on kernel pointers and it is
supposed not to check pointer validity.
This bug results in ssh session hangs if the system is loaded and bulk
data are printed to ssh terminal.
This patch fixes csum_partial_copy_nocheck to call set_fs(KERNEL_DS), so
that access_ok in csum_partial_copy_from_user accepts kernel-space
addresses.

Commit 384a48d71520 "ALSA: hda: HDMI: Support codecs with fewer cvts
than pins" dynamically enabled each pin widget's PIN_OUT only when the
pin was actively in use. This was required on certain NVIDIA CODECs for
correct operation. Specifically, if multiple pin widgets each had their
mux input select the same audio converter widget and each pin widget had
PIN_OUT enabled, then only one of the pin widgets would actually receive
the audio, and often not the one the user wanted!
However, this apparently broke some Intel systems, and commit
6169b673618b "ALSA: hda - Always turn on pins for HDMI/DP" reverted the
dynamic setting of PIN_OUT. This in turn broke the afore-mentioned NVIDIA
CODECs.
This change supports either dynamic or static handling of PIN_OUT,
selected by a flag set up during CODEC initialization. This flag is
enabled for all recent NVIDIA GPUs.

MF Symlinks are regular files containing content in a specified format.
The function couldbe_mf_symlink() checks the mode for a set S_IFREG bit
as a test to confirm that it is a regular file. This bit is also set for
other filetypes and simply checking for this bit being set may return
false positives.
We ensure that we are actually checking for a regular file by using the
S_ISREG macro to test instead.

Current xen-selfballoon driver is too aggressive which may cause OOM be
triggered more often. Eg. this bug reported by James:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/21/158
There are two mainly reasons:
1) The original goal_page didn't consider some pages used by kernel space, like
slab pages and pages used by device drivers.
2) The balloon driver may not give back memory to guest OS fast enough when the
workload suddenly aquries a lot of physical memory.
In both cases, the guest OS will suffer from memory pressure and OOM may
be triggered.
The fix is make xen-selfballoon driver not that aggressive by adding extra 10%
of total ram pages to goal_page.
It's more valuable to keep the guest system reliable and response faster than
balloon out these 10% pages to XEN.

The grant mapping API does m2p_override unnecessarily: only gntdev needs it,
for blkback and future netback patches it just cause a lock contention, as
those pages never go to userspace. Therefore this series does the following:
- the original functions were renamed to __gnttab_[un]map_refs, with a new
parameter m2p_override
- based on m2p_override either they follow the original behaviour, or just set
the private flag and call set_phys_to_machine
- gnttab_[un]map_refs are now a wrapper to call __gnttab_[un]map_refs with
m2p_override false
- a new function gnttab_[un]map_refs_userspace provides the old behaviour
It also removes a stray space from page.h and change ret to 0 if
XENFEAT_auto_translated_physmap, as that is the only possible return value
there.
v2:
- move the storing of the old mfn in page->index to gnttab_map_refs
- move the function header update to a separate patch
v3:
- a new approach to retain old behaviour where it needed
- squash the patches into one
v4:
- move out the common bits from m2p* functions, and pass pfn/mfn as parameter
- clear page->private before doing anything with the page, so m2p_find_override
won't race with this
v5:
- change return value handling in __gnttab_[un]map_refs
- remove a stray space in page.h
- add detail why ret = 0 now at some places
v6:
- don't pass pfn to m2p* functions, just get it locally

The slub code does some setup during early boot in
early_kmem_cache_node_alloc() with some local data. There is no
possible way that another CPU can see this data, so the slub code
doesn't unnecessarily lock it. However, some new lockdep asserts
check to make sure that add_partial() _always_ has the list_lock
held.
Just add the locking, even though it is technically unnecessary.

On x86, SLUB creates and handles <=8192-byte allocations internally.
It passes larger ones up to the allocator. Saying "up to order 2" is,
at best, ambiguous. Is that order-1? Or (order-2 bytes)? Make
it more clear.
SLOB commits a similar sin. It *handles* page-size requests, but the
comment says that it passes up "all page size and larger requests".
SLOB also swaps around the order of the very-similarly-named
KMALLOC_SHIFT_HIGH and KMALLOC_SHIFT_MAX #defines. Make it
consistent with the order of the other two allocators.

We have the following means for encoding writable or dirty ptes:
PTE_DIRTY PTE_RDONLY
!pte_dirty && !pte_write 0 1
!pte_dirty && pte_write 0 1
pte_dirty && !pte_write 1 1
pte_dirty && pte_write 1 0
So we can't distinguish between writable clean ptes and read only
ptes. This can cause problems with ptes being incorrectly flagged as
read only when they are writable but not dirty.
This patch introduces a new software bit PTE_WRITE which allows us to
correctly identify writable ptes. PTE_RDONLY is now only clear for
valid ptes where a page is both writable and dirty.

The x32 case for the recvmsg() timout handling is broken:
asmlinkage long compat_sys_recvmmsg(int fd, struct compat_mmsghdr __user *mmsg,
unsigned int vlen, unsigned int flags,
struct compat_timespec __user *timeout)
{
int datagrams;
struct timespec ktspec;
if (flags & MSG_CMSG_COMPAT)
return -EINVAL;
if (COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME)
return __sys_recvmmsg(fd, (struct mmsghdr __user *)mmsg, vlen,
flags | MSG_CMSG_COMPAT,
(struct timespec *) timeout);
...
The timeout pointer parameter is provided by userland (hence the __user
annotation) but for x32 syscalls it's simply cast to a kernel pointer
and is passed to __sys_recvmmsg which will eventually directly
dereference it for both reading and writing. Other callers to
__sys_recvmmsg properly copy from userland to the kernel first.
The bug was introduced by commit ee4fa23c4bfc ("compat: Use
COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME in net/compat.c") and should affect all kernels
since 3.4 (and perhaps vendor kernels if they backported x32 support
along with this code).
Note that CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI gets enabled at build time and only if
CONFIG_X86_X32 is enabled and ld can build x32 executables.
Other uses of COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME seem fine.
This addresses CVE-2014-0038.

Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
"The most notable new addition inside this pull request is the support
for MIPS's latest and greatest core called "inter/proAptiv". The
patch series describes this core as follows.
"The interAptiv is a power-efficient multi-core microprocessor
for use in system-on-chip (SoC) applications. The interAptiv combines
a multi-threading pipeline with a coherence manager to deliver improved
computational throughput and power efficiency. The interAptiv can
contain one to four MIPS32R3 interAptiv cores, system level
coherence manager with L2 cache, optional coherent I/O port,
and optional floating point unit."
The platform specific patches touch all 3 Broadcom families. It adds
support for the new Broadcom/Netlogix XLP9xx Soc, building a common
BCM63XX SMP kernel for all BCM63XX SoCs regardless of core type/count
and full gpio button/led descriptions for BCM47xx.
The rest of the series are cleanups and bug fixes that are MIPS

Commit 842e2873697e ("memcg: get rid of kmem_cache_dup()") introduced a
mutex for memcg_create_kmem_cache() to protect the tmp_name buffer that
holds the memcg name. It failed to unlock the mutex if this buffer
could not be allocated.
This patch fixes the issue by appropriately unlocking the mutex if the
allocation fails.

A 3% of system memory bonus is sometimes too excessive in comparison to
other processes.
With commit a63d83f427fb ("oom: badness heuristic rewrite"), the OOM
killer tries to avoid killing privileged tasks by subtracting 3% of
overall memory (system or cgroup) from their per-task consumption. But
as a result, all root tasks that consume less than 3% of overall memory
are considered equal, and so it only takes 33+ privileged tasks pushing
the system out of memory for the OOM killer to do something stupid and
kill dhclient or other root-owned processes. For example, on a 32G
machine it can't tell the difference between the 1M agetty and the 10G
fork bomb member.
The changelog describes this 3% boost as the equivalent to the global
overcommit limit being 3% higher for privileged tasks, but this is not
the same as discounting 3% of overall memory from _every privileged task
individually_ during OOM selection.
Replace the 3% of system memory bonus with a 3% of current memory usage
bonus.
By giving root tasks a bonus that is proportional to their actual size,
they remain comparable even when relatively small. In the example
above, the OOM killer will discount the 1M agetty's 256 badness points
down to 179, and the 10G fork bomb's 262144 points down to 183500 points
and make the right choice, instead of discounting both to 0 and killing
agetty because it's first in the task list.

The SOFT_DIRTY bit shows that the content of memory was changed after a
defined point in the past. mprotect() doesn't change the content of
memory, so it must not change the SOFT_DIRTY bit.
This bug causes a malfunction: on the first iteration all pages are
dumped. On other iterations only pages with the SOFT_DIRTY bit are
dumped. So if the SOFT_DIRTY bit is cleared from a page by mistake, the
page is not dumped and its content will be restored incorrectly.
This patch does nothing with _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY, becase pte_modify()
is called only for present pages.
Fixes commit 0f8975ec4db2 ("mm: soft-dirty bits for user memory changes
tracking").

Commit abca7c496584 ("mm: fix slab->page _count corruption when using
slub") notes that we can not _set_ a page->counters directly, except
when using a real double-cmpxchg. Doing so can lose updates to
->_count.
That is an absolute rule:
You may not *set* page->counters except via a cmpxchg.
Commit abca7c496584 fixed this for the folks who have the slub
cmpxchg_double code turned off at compile time, but it left the bad case
alone. It can still be reached, and the same bug triggered in two
cases:
1. Turning on slub debugging at runtime, which is available on
the distro kernels that I looked at.
2. On 64-bit CPUs with no CMPXCHG16B (some early AMD x86-64
cpus, evidently)
There are at least 3 ways we could fix this:
1. Take all of the exising calls to cmpxchg_double_slab() and
__cmpxchg_double_slab() and convert them to take an old, new
and target 'struct page'.
2. Do (1), but with the newly-introduced 'slub_data'.
3. Do some magic inside the two cmpxchg...slab() functions to
pull the counters out of new_counters and only set those
fields in page->{inuse,frozen,objects}.
I've done (2) as well, but it's a bunch more code. This patch is an
attempt at (3). This was the most straightforward and foolproof way
that I could think to do this.
This would also technically allow us to get rid of the ugly
#if defined(CONFIG_HAVE_CMPXCHG_DOUBLE) && \
defined(CONFIG_HAVE_ALIGNED_STRUCT_PAGE)
in 'struct page', but leaving it alone has the added benefit that
'counters' stays 'unsigned' instead of 'unsigned long', so all the
copies that the slub code does stay a bit smaller.

As a result of commit 5606e3877ad8 ("mm: numa: Migrate on reference
policy"), /proc/<pid>/numa_maps prints the mempolicy for any <pid> as
"prefer:N" for the local node, N, of the process reading the file.
This should only be printed when the mempolicy of <pid> is
MPOL_PREFERRED for node N.
If the process is actually only using the default mempolicy for local
node allocation, make sure "default" is printed as expected.

Finally, we separated zram->lock dependency from 32bit stat/ table
handling so there is no reason to use rw_semaphore between read and
write path so this patch removes the lock from read path totally and
changes rw_semaphore with mutex. So, we could do
old:
read-read: OK
read-write: NO
write-write: NO
Now:
read-read: OK
read-write: OK
write-write: NO
The below data proves mixed workload performs well 11 times and there is
also enhance on write-write path because current rw-semaphore doesn't
support SPIN_ON_OWNER. It's side effect but anyway good thing for us.
Write-related tests perform better (from 61% to 1058%) but read path has
good/bad(from -2.22% to 1.45%) but they are all marginal within stddev.

Commit a0c516cbfc74 ("zram: don't grab mutex in zram_slot_free_noity")
introduced free request pending code to avoid scheduling by mutex under
spinlock and it was a mess which made code lenghty and increased
overhead.
Now, we don't need zram->lock any more to free slot so this patch
reverts it and then, tb_lock should protect it.

Currently, the zram table is protected by zram->lock but it's rather
coarse-grained lock and it makes hard for scalibility.
Let's use own rwlock instead of depending on zram->lock. This patch
adds new locking so obviously, it would make slow but this patch is just
prepartion for removing coarse-grained rw_semaphore(ie, zram->lock)
which is hurdle about zram scalability.
Final patch in this patchset series will remove the lock from read-path
and change rw_semaphore with mutex in write path. With bonus, we could
drop pending slot free mess in next patch.
