As pointed out by Linus, commit dab5855 ("perf_counter: Add mmap event hooks to
mprotect()") is fundamentally wrong as mprotect_fixup() can free 'vma' due to
merging. Fix the problem by moving perf_event_mmap() hook to
mprotect_fixup().
Note: there's another successful return path from mprotect_fixup() if old
flags equal to new flags. We don't, however, need to call
perf_event_mmap() there because 'perf' already knows the VMA is
executable.

Commit 5c521830cf (ext4: Support discard requests when running in
no-journal mode) attempts to add sb_issue_discard() for data blocks
(in data=writeback mode) and in no-journal mode. Unfortunately, this
no longer works, because in commit dd3932eddf (block: remove
BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT), sb_issue_discard() only presents a synchronous
interface, and there are times when we call ext4_free_blocks() when we
are are holding a spinlock, or are otherwise in an atomic context.
For now, I've removed the call to sb_issue_discard() to prevent a
deadlock or (if spinlock debugging is enabled) failures like this:

The following BUG can occur when an inode which is getting freed when
it still has dirty pages outstanding, and it gets deleted (in this
because it was the target of a rename). In ordered mode, we need to
make sure the data pages are written just in case we crash before the
rename (or unlink) is committed. If the inode is being freed then
when we try to igrab the inode, we end up tripping the BUG_ON at
fs/ext4/page-io.c:146.
To solve this problem, we need to keep track of the number of io
callbacks which are pending, and avoid destroying the inode until they
have all been completed. That way we don't have to bump the inode
count to keep the inode from being destroyed; an approach which
doesn't work because the count could have already been dropped down to
zero before the inode writeback has started (at which point we're not
allowed to bump the count back up to 1, since it's already started
getting freed).
Thanks to Dave Chinner for suggesting this approach, which is also
used by XFS.

Sometimes it is possible and reasonable to adjust the parent clock rate to
improve precision of the child clock, e.g., if the child clock has no siblings.
clk_round_parent() is a new addition to the SH clock-framework API, that
implements such an optimization for child clocks with divisors, taking all
integer values in a range.

Commit 27ae60f8f7aa ("ipw2x00: replace "ieee80211" with "libipw" where
appropriate") changed DRV_NAME to be "libipw", but didn't properly fix
up the places where it was used to specify the name for the /proc/net/
directory.
For backwards compatibility reasons, that directory name remained
"ieee80211", but due to the DRV_NAME change, the error case printouts
and the cleanup functions now used "libipw" instead. Which made it all
fail badly.
For example, on module unload as reported by Randy:
WARNING: at fs/proc/generic.c:816 remove_proc_entry+0x156/0x35e()
name 'libipw'
because it's trying to unregister a /proc directory that obviously
doesn't even exist.
Clean it all up to use DRV_PROCNAME for the actual /proc directory name.

posix-cpu-timers.c correctly assumes that the dying process does
posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() and removes all !CPUCLOCK_PERTHREAD
timers from signal->cpu_timers list.
But, it also assumes that timer->it.cpu.task is always the group
leader, and thus the dead ->task means the dead thread group.
This is obviously not true after de_thread() changes the leader.
After that almost every posix_cpu_timer_ method has problems.
It is not simple to fix this bug correctly. First of all, I think
that timer->it.cpu should use struct pid instead of task_struct.
Also, the locking should be reworked completely. In particular,
tasklist_lock should not be used at all. This all needs a lot of
nontrivial and hard-to-test changes.
Change __exit_signal() to do posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() when
the old leader dies during exec. This is not the fix, just the
temporary hack to hide the problem for 2.6.37 and stable. IOW,
this is obviously wrong but this is what we currently have anyway:
cpu timers do not work after mt exec.
In theory this change adds another race. The exiting leader can
detach the timers which were attached to the new leader. However,
the window between de_thread() and release_task() is small, we
can pretend that sys_timer_create() was called before de_thread().

drop_spte should not attempt to rmap_remove a non present shadow pte.
This fixes a BUG_ON seen on kvm-autotest.

I have observed the following bug trigger:
1. userspace calls GET_DIRTY_LOG
2. kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access is called and makes a page ro
3. page fault happens and makes the page writeable
fault is logged in the bitmap appropriately
4. kvm_vm_ioctl_get_dirty_log swaps slot pointers
a lot of time passes
5. guest writes into the page
6. userspace calls GET_DIRTY_LOG
At point (5), bitmap is clean and page is writeable,
thus, guest modification of memory is not logged
and GET_DIRTY_LOG returns an empty bitmap.
The rule is that all pages are either dirty in the current bitmap,
or write-protected, which is violated here.
It seems that just moving kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access down
to after the slot pointer swap should fix this bug.

vmalloc and memset
We can optimize kernel/relay.c::relay_alloc_page_array() slightly by
using vzalloc. The patch makes these changes:
- use vzalloc instead of vmalloc+memset.
- remove redundant local variable 'array'.
- declare local 'pa_size' as const.
Cuts down nicely on both source and object-code size.

The tty code should be in its own subdirectory and not in the char
driver with all of the cruft that is currently there.

This patch is based on Dan's original patch. His original description is
below:
Smatch complained about a couple checking for NULL after dereferencing
bugs. I'm not super familiar with the code so I did the conservative
thing and move the dereferences after the checks.
The dereferences in cifs_lock() and cifs_fsync() were added in
ba00ba64cf0 "cifs: make various routines use the cifsFileInfo->tcon
pointer". The dereference in find_writable_file() was added in
6508d904e6f "cifs: have find_readable/writable_file filter by fsuid".
The comments there say it's possible to trigger the NULL dereference
under stress.
