5c5cac6385 ARM: 6050/1: VFP: fix the SMP versions of vfp_{sync,flush}_hwstate
From: Imre Deak <imre.deak@nokia.com>

Recently the UP versions of these functions were refactored and as
a side effect it became possible to call them for the current thread.
This isn't true for the SMP versions however, so fix this up.

7e5a69e83b ARM: 6007/1: fix highmem with VIPT cache and DMA
The VIVT cache of a highmem page is always flushed before the page
is unmapped.  This cache flush is explicit through flush_cache_kmaps()
in flush_all_zero_pkmaps(), or through __cpuc_flush_dcache_area() in
kunmap_atomic().  There is also an implicit flush of those highmem pages
that were part of a process that just terminated making those pages free
as the whole VIVT cache has to be flushed on every task switch. Hence
unmapped highmem pages need no cache maintenance in that case.

However unmapped pages may still be cached with a VIPT cache because the
cache is tagged with physical addresses.  There is no need for a whole
cache flush during task switching for that reason, and despite the
explicit cache flushes in flush_all_zero_pkmaps() and kunmap_atomic(),
some highmem pages that were mapped in user space end up still cached
even when they become unmapped.

So, we do have to perform cache maintenance on those unmapped highmem
pages in the context of DMA when using a VIPT cache.  Unfortunately,
it is not possible to perform that cache maintenance using physical
addresses as all the L1 cache maintenance coprocessor functions accept
virtual addresses only.  Therefore we have no choice but to set up a
temporary virtual mapping for that purpose.

And of course the explicit cache flushing when unmapping a highmem page
on a system with a VIPT cache now can go, which should increase
performance.

While at it, because the code in __flush_dcache_page() has to be modified
anyway, let's also make sure the mapped highmem pages are pinned with
kmap_high_get() for the duration of the cache maintenance operation.
Because kunmap() does unmap highmem pages lazily, it was reported by
Gary King <GKing@nvidia.com> that those pages ended up being unmapped
during cache maintenance on SMP causing segmentation faults.

317aa408d6 ARM: 5975/1: AT91 slow-clock suspend: don't wait when turning PLLs off
From: Julien Langer <julien.langer@gmail.com>

AT91: when turning off the PLLs during suspend, don't wait for the lock
flag to be set. Previously the code would always run into the loop
limitation of 1000 iterations because the flag is never set when turning
the PLLs off.

035df35d96 sparc64: Allocate sufficient stack space in ftrace stubs.
128 bytes is sufficient for the register window save area, but the
calling conventions allow the callee to save up to 6 incoming argument
registers into the stack frame after the register window save area.

This means a minimal stack frame is 176 bytes (128 + (6 * 8)).

This fixes random crashes when using the function tracer.

a6a5349d17 ceph: use separate class for ceph sockets' sk_lock
Use a separate class for ceph sockets to prevent lockdep confusion.
Because ceph sockets only get passed kernel pointers, there is no
dependency from sk_lock -> mmap_sem.  If we share the same class as other
sockets, lockdep detects a circular dependency from

	mmap_sem (page fault) -> fs mutex -> sk_lock -> mmap_sem

because dependencies are noted from both ceph and user contexts.  Using
a separate class prevents the sk_lock(ceph) -> mmap_sem dependency and
makes lockdep happy.

032d8f7268 [LogFS] Prevent memory corruption on large deletes
Removing sufficiently large files would create aliases for a large

Cheap fix is to add a BUG_ON, turning memory corruption into something

affected segments and prevent the problem completely.

e182c77cc2 sparc64: Fix memory leak in pci_register_iommu_region().
Found by kmemleak.

If request_resource() fails, we leak the struct resource we
allocated to represent the IOMMU mapping area.

This actually happens on sun4v machines because the IOMEM area is only
reported sans the IOMMU region, unlike all previous systems.  I'll
need to fix that at some point, but for now fix the leak.

25ad403f67 sparc64: Add kmemleak annotation to sun4v_build_virq()
The only reference we store to this memory is in the form of a

Add a kmemleak_not_leak() annotation.

It's probably useful to be able to look at a dump of these things
either via debugfs or similar, and thus we could at some point store
them in some kind of table and therefore get rid of this annotation.

If we are in an NMI then doing a plain raw_local_irq_disable() will
write PIL_NORMAL_MAX into %pil, which is lower than PIL_NMI, and thus
we'll re-enable NMIs and recurse.

Doing a simple:

	%pil = %pil | PIL_NORMAL_MAX

does what we want, if we're already at PIL_NMI (15) we leave it at
that setting, else we set it to PIL_NORMAL_MAX (14).

ea90002b0f anonvma: when setting up page->mapping, we need to pick the _oldest_ anonvma
Otherwise we might be mapping in a page in a new mapping, but that page
(through the swapcache) would later be mapped into an old mapping too.
The page->mapping must be the case that works for everybody, not just
the mapping that happened to page it in first.

Here's the scenario:

 - page gets allocated/mapped by process A. Let's call the anon_vma we
   associate the page with 'A' to keep it easy to track.

 - Process A forks, creating process B. The anon_vma in B is 'B', and has
   a chain that looks like 'B' -> 'A'. Everything is fine.

 - Swapping happens. The page (with mapping pointing to 'A') gets swapped
   out (perhaps not to disk - it's enough to assume that it's just not
   mapped any more, and lives entirely in the swap-cache)

 - Process B pages it in, which goes like this:

        do_swap_page ->
          page = lookup_swap_cache(entry);
         ...
          set_pte_at(mm, address, page_table, pte);
          page_add_anon_rmap(page, vma, address);

   And think about what happens here!

   In particular, what happens is that this will now be the "first"
   mapping of that page, so page_add_anon_rmap() used to do

        if (first)
                __page_set_anon_rmap(page, vma, address);

   and notice what anon_vma it will use? It will use the anon_vma for
   process B!

   What happens then? Trivial: process 'A' also pages it in (nothing
   happens, it's not the first mapping), and then process 'B' execve's
   or exits or unmaps, making anon_vma B go away.

   End result: process A has a page that points to anon_vma B, but
   anon_vma B does not exist any more.  This can go on forever.  Forget
   about RCU grace periods, forget about locking, forget anything like
   that.  The bug is simply that page->mapping points to an anon_vma
   that was correct at one point, but was _not_ the one that was shared
   by all users of that possible mapping.

Changing it to always use the deepest anon_vma in the anonvma chain gets
us to the safest model.

This can be improved in certain cases: if we know the page is private to
just this particular mapping (for example, it's a new page, or it is the
only swapcache entry), we could pick the top (most specific) anon_vma.

But that's a future optimization. Make it _work_ reliably first.

646d87b481 anon_vma: clone the anon_vma chain in the right order
We want to walk the chain in reverse order when cloning it, so that the
order of the result chain will be the same as the order in the source
chain.  When we add entries to the chain, they go at the head of the
chain, so we want to add the source head last.
