Only alpha and sparc are unusual - they have ka_restorer in it.

Switch from __ARCH_WANT_SYS_RT_SIGACTION to opposite
(!CONFIG_ODD_RT_SIGACTION); the only two architectures that
need it are alpha and sparc. The reason for use of CONFIG_...
instead of __ARCH_... is that it's needed only kernel-side
and doing it that way avoids a mess with include order on many
architectures.

This fixes CVE-2013-0190 / XSA-40
There has been an error on the xen_failsafe_callback path for failed
iret, which causes the stack pointer to be wrong when entering the
iret_exc error path. This can result in the kernel crashing.
In the classic kernel case, the relevant code looked a little like:
popl %eax # Error code from hypervisor
jz 5f
addl $16,%esp
jmp iret_exc # Hypervisor said iret fault
5: addl $16,%esp
# Hypervisor said segment selector fault
Here, there are two identical addls on either option of a branch which
appears to have been optimised by hoisting it above the jz, and
converting it to an lea, which leaves the flags register unaffected.
In the PVOPS case, the code looks like:
popl_cfi %eax # Error from the hypervisor
lea 16(%esp),%esp # Add $16 before choosing fault path
CFI_ADJUST_CFA_OFFSET -16
jz 5f
addl $16,%esp # Incorrectly adjust %esp again
jmp iret_exc
It is possible unprivileged userspace applications to cause this
behaviour, for example by loading an LDT code selector, then changing
the code selector to be not-present. At this point, there is a race
condition where it is possible for the hypervisor to return back to
userspace from an interrupt, fault on its own iret, and inject a
failsafe_callback into the kernel.
This bug has been present since the introduction of Xen PVOPS support
in commit 5ead97c84 (xen: Core Xen implementation), in 2.6.23.

Pull IOMMU updates from Joerg Roedel:
"A few new features this merge-window. The most important one is
probably, that dma-debug now warns if a dma-handle is not checked with
dma_mapping_error by the device driver. This requires minor changes
to some architectures which make use of dma-debug. Most of these
changes have the respective Acks by the Arch-Maintainers.
Besides that there are updates to the AMD IOMMU driver for refactor
the IOMMU-Groups support and to make sure it does not trigger a
hardware erratum.
The OMAP changes (for which I pulled in a branch from Tony Lindgren's
tree) have a conflict in linux-next with the arm-soc tree. The
conflict is in the file arch/arm/mach-omap2/clock44xx_data.c which is
deleted in the arm-soc tree. It is safe to delete the file too so
solve the conflict. Similar changes are done in the arm-soc tree in
the common clock framework migration. A missing hunk from the patch
in the IOMMU tree will be submitted as a seperate patch when the
merge-window is closed."

This patch adds user eqs exception hooks for async page fault page not
present code path, to exit the user eqs and re-enter it as necessary.
Async page fault is different from other exceptions that it may be
triggered from idle process, so we still need rcu_irq_enter() and
rcu_irq_exit() to exit cpu idle eqs when needed, to protect the code
that needs use rcu.
As Frederic pointed out it would be safest and simplest to protect the
whole kvm_async_pf_task_wait(). Otherwise, "we need to check all the
code there deeply for potential RCU uses and ensure it will never be
extended later to use RCU.".
However, We'd better re-enter the cpu idle eqs if we get the exception
in cpu idle eqs, by calling rcu_irq_exit() before native_safe_halt().
So the patch does what Frederic suggested for rcu_irq_*() API usage
here, except that I moved the rcu_irq_*() pair originally in
do_async_page_fault() into kvm_async_pf_task_wait().
That's because, I think it's better to have rcu_irq_*() pairs to be in
one function ( rcu_irq_exit() after rcu_irq_enter() ), especially here,
kvm_async_pf_task_wait() has other callers, which might cause
rcu_irq_exit() be called without a matching rcu_irq_enter() before it,
which is illegal if the cpu happens to be in rcu idle state.

Pull Automatic NUMA Balancing bare-bones from Mel Gorman:
"There are three implementations for NUMA balancing, this tree
(balancenuma), numacore which has been developed in tip/master and
autonuma which is in aa.git.
In almost all respects balancenuma is the dumbest of the three because
its main impact is on the VM side with no attempt to be smart about
scheduling. In the interest of getting the ball rolling, it would be
desirable to see this much merged for 3.8 with the view to building
scheduler smarts on top and adapting the VM where required for 3.9.
The most recent set of comparisons available from different people are

mingo: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/7/331

srikar: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/397
The results are a mixed bag. In my own tests, balancenuma does
reasonably well. It's dumb as rocks and does not regress against
mainline. On the other hand, Ingo's tests shows that balancenuma is
incapable of converging for this workloads driven by perf which is bad
but is potentially explained by the lack of scheduler smarts. Thomas'
results show balancenuma improves on mainline but falls far short of
numacore or autonuma. Srikar's results indicate we all suffer on a
large machine with imbalanced node sizes.
My own testing showed that recent numacore results have improved
dramatically, particularly in the last week but not universally.
We've butted heads heavily on system CPU usage and high levels of
migration even when it shows that overall performance is better.
There are also cases where it regresses. Of interest is that for
specjbb in some configurations it will regress for lower numbers of
warehouses and show gains for higher numbers which is not reported by
the tool by default and sometimes missed in treports. Recently I
reported for numacore that the JVM was crashing with
NullPointerExceptions but currently it's unclear what the source of
this problem is. Initially I thought it was in how numacore batch
handles PTEs but I'm no longer think this is the case. It's possible
numacore is just able to trigger it due to higher rates of migration.
These reports were quite late in the cycle so I/we would like to start
with this tree as it contains much of the code we can agree on and has
not changed significantly over the last 2-3 weeks."

This reverts commit bd52276fa1d4 ("x86-64/efi: Use EFI to deal with
platform wall clock (again)"), and the two supporting commits:
da5a108d05b4: "x86/kernel: remove tboot 1:1 page table creation code"
185034e72d59: "x86, efi: 1:1 pagetable mapping for virtual EFI calls")
as they all depend semantically on commit 53b87cf088e2 ("x86, mm:
Include the entire kernel memory map in trampoline_pgd") that got
reverted earlier due to the problems it caused.
This was pointed out by Yinghai Lu, and verified by me on my Macbook Air
that uses EFI.

This reverts commit 53b87cf088e2ea68d7c59619d0214cc15bb76133.
It causes odd bootup problems on x86-64. Markus Trippelsdorf gets a
repeatable oops, and I see a non-repeatable oops (or constant stream of
messages that scroll off too quickly to read) that seems to go away with
this commit reverted.
So we don't know exactly what is wrong with the commit, but it's
definitely problematic, and worth reverting sooner rather than later.

Pull x86 ACPI update from Peter Anvin:
"This is a patchset which didn't make the last merge window. It adds a
debugging capability to feed ACPI tables via the initramfs.
On a grander scope, it formalizes using the initramfs protocol for
feeding arbitrary blobs which need to be accessed early to the kernel:
they are fed first in the initramfs blob (lots of bootloaders can
concatenate this at boot time, others can use a single file) in an
uncompressed cpio archive using filenames starting with "kernel/".
The ACPI maintainers requested that this patchset be fed via the x86
tree rather than the ACPI tree as the footprint in the general x86
code is much bigger than in the ACPI code proper."
