In kobj_ns_current_may_mount the default should be to allow the mount.
The test is only for a single kobj_ns_type at a time, and unless there
is a reason to prevent it the mounting sysfs should be allowed.
Subsystems that are not registered can't have are not involved so can't
have a reason to prevent mounting sysfs.
This is a bug-fix to commit 7dc5dbc879bd ("sysfs: Restrict mounting
sysfs") that came in via the userns tree during the 3.12 merge window.

The 64-bit cmpxchg operation on the lockref is ordered by virtue of
hazarding between the cmpxchg operation and the reference count
manipulation. On weakly ordered memory architectures (such as ARM), it
can be of great benefit to omit the barrier instructions where they are
not needed.
This patch moves the lockless lockref code over to a cmpxchg64_relaxed
operation, which doesn't provide barrier semantics. If the operation
isn't defined, we simply #define it as the usual 64-bit cmpxchg macro.

Then we have two things that I wrote over the last couple of days and
made the executive decision to include just because I can (and I'm

They fix a couple of annoying and long standing "issues":
- We had separate zImages for when booting via Open Firmware vs.
booting via a flat device-tree, while it's trivial to make one that
deals with both
- We wasted a ton of cycles spinning secondary CPUs uselessly at boot

On hosts with more than 168 GB of memory, a 32-bit guest may attempt
to grant map an MFN that is error cannot lookup in its mapping of the
m2p table. There is an m2p lookup as part of m2p_add_override() and
m2p_remove_override(). The lookup falls off the end of the mapped
portion of the m2p and (because the mapping is at the highest virtual
address) wraps around and the lookup causes a fault on what appears to
be a user space address.
do_page_fault() (thinking it's a fault to a userspace address), tries
to lock mm->mmap_sem. If the gntdev device is used for the grant map,
m2p_add_override() is called from from gnttab_mmap() with mm->mmap_sem
already locked. do_page_fault() then deadlocks.
The deadlock would most commonly occur when a 64-bit guest is started
and xenconsoled attempts to grant map its console ring.
Introduce mfn_to_pfn_no_overrides() which checks the MFN is within the
mapped portion of the m2p table before accessing the table and use
this in m2p_add_override(), m2p_remove_override(), and mfn_to_pfn()
(which already had the correct range check).
All faults caused by accessing the non-existant parts of the m2p are
thus within the kernel address space and exception_fixup() is called
without trying to lock mm->mmap_sem.
This means that for MFNs that are outside the mapped range of the m2p
then mfn_to_pfn() will always look in the m2p overrides. This is
correct because it must be a foreign MFN (and the PFN in the m2p in
this case is only relevant for the other domain).

We've been keeping that field in thread_struct for a while, it contains
the "limit" of the current stack pointer and is meant to be used for
detecting stack overflows.
It has a few problems however:
- First, it was never actually *used* on 64-bit. Set and updated but
not actually exploited
- When switching stack to/from irq and softirq stacks, it's update
is racy unless we hard disable interrupts, which is costly. This
is fine on 32-bit as we don't soft-disable there but not on 64-bit.
Thus rather than fixing 2 in order to implement 1 in some hypothetical
future, let's remove the code completely from 64-bit. In order to avoid
a clutter of ifdef's, we remove the updates from C code completely
during interrupt stack switching, and instead maintain it from the
asm helper that is used to do the stack switching in the first place.

Nowadays, irq_exit() calls __do_softirq() pretty much directly
instead of calling do_softirq() which switches to the decicated
softirq stack.
This has lead to observed stack overflows on powerpc since we call
irq_enter() and irq_exit() outside of the scope that switches to
the irq stack.
This fixes it by moving the stack switching up a level, making
irq_enter() and irq_exit() run off the irq stack.

There is a loop in do_mlockall() that lacks a preemption point, which
means that the following can happen on non-preemptible builds of the

"My fuzz tester keeps hitting this. Every instance shows the non-irq

that has more ram (8gb) than my other machines, which might explain

watchdog_tresh controls how often nmi perf event counter checks per-cpu
hrtimer_interrupts counter and blows up if the counter hasn't changed
since the last check. The counter is updated by per-cpu
watchdog_hrtimer hrtimer which is scheduled with 2/5 watchdog_thresh
period which guarantees that hrtimer is scheduled 2 times per the main
period. Both hrtimer and perf event are started together when the
watchdog is enabled.
So far so good. But...
But what happens when watchdog_thresh is updated from sysctl handler?
proc_dowatchdog will set a new sampling period and hrtimer callback
(watchdog_timer_fn) will use the new value in the next round. The
problem, however, is that nobody tells the perf event that the sampling
period has changed so it is ticking with the period configured when it
has been set up.
This might result in an ear ripping dissonance between perf and hrtimer
parts if the watchdog_thresh is increased. And even worse it might lead
to KABOOM if the watchdog is configured to panic on such a spurious
lockup.
This patch fixes the issue by updating both nmi perf even counter and
hrtimers if the threshold value has changed.
The nmi one is disabled and then reinitialized from scratch. This has
an unpleasant side effect that the allocation of the new event might
fail theoretically so the hard lockup detector would be disabled for
such cpus. On the other hand such a memory allocation failure is very
unlikely because the original event is deallocated right before.
It would be much nicer if we just changed perf event period but there
doesn't seem to be any API to do that right now. It is also unfortunate
that perf_event_alloc uses GFP_KERNEL allocation unconditionally so we
cannot use on_each_cpu() and do the same thing from the per-cpu context.
The update from the current CPU should be safe because
perf_event_disable removes the event atomically before it clears the
per-cpu watchdog_ev so it cannot change anything under running handler
feet.
The hrtimer is simply restarted (thanks to Don Zickus who has pointed
this out) if it is queued because we cannot rely it will fire&adopt to
the new sampling period before a new nmi event triggers (when the
treshold is decreased).

proc_dowatchdog doesn't synchronize multiple callers which might lead to
confusion when two parallel callers might confuse watchdog_enable_all_cpus
resp watchdog_disable_all_cpus (eg watchdog gets enabled even if
watchdog_thresh was set to 0 already).
This patch adds a local mutex which synchronizes callers to the sysctl
handler.

Merge bcache fixes from Kent Overstreet:
"There's fixes for _three_ different data corruption bugs, all of which
were found by users hitting them in the wild.
The first one isn't bcache specific - in 3.11 bcache was switched to
the bio_copy_data in fs/bio.c, and that's when the bug in that code
was discovered, but it's also used by raid1 and pktcdvd. (That was my
code too, so the bug's doubly embarassing given that it was or
should've been just a cut and paste from bcache code. Dunno what
happened there).
Most of these (all the non data corruption bugs, actually) were ready
before the merge window and have been sitting in Jens' tree, but I
don't know what's been up with him lately..."

In writeback mode, when we get a cache flush we need to make sure we
issue a flush to the backing device.
The code for sending down an extra flush was wrong - by cloning the bio
we were probably getting flags that didn't make sense for a bare flush,
and also the old code was firing for FUA bios, for which we don't need
to send a flush to the backing device.
This was causing data corruption somehow - the mechanism was never
determined, but this patch fixes it for the users that were seeing it.

btree_sort_fixup() was overly clever, because it was trying to avoid
pulling a key off the btree iterator in more than one place.
This led to a really obscure bug where we'd break early from the loop in
btree_sort_fixup() if the current key overlapped with keys in more than
one older set, and the next key it overlapped with was zero size.

GFP_NOIO means we could be getting called recursively - mca_alloc() ->
mca_data_alloc() - definitely can't use mutex_lock(bucket_lock) then.
Whoops.

bch_journal_meta() was missing the flush to make the journal write
actually go down (instead of waiting up to journal_delay_ms)...
Whoops

Background writeback works by scanning the btree for dirty data and
adding those keys into a fixed size buffer, then for each dirty key in
the keybuf writing it to the backing device.
When read_dirty() finishes and it's time to scan for more dirty data, we
need to wait for the outstanding writeback IO to finish - they still
take up slots in the keybuf (so that foreground writes can check for
them to avoid races) - without that wait, we'll continually rescan when
we'll be able to add at most a key or two to the keybuf, and that takes
locks that starves foreground IO. Doh.

sysfs attributes with unusual characters have crappy failure modes
in Squeeze (udev 164); later versions of udev are unaffected.
This should make these characters more unusual.

get_balloon_scratch_page() disables preemption so we cannot call
alloc_page() in between get/put_balloon_scratch_page(). Shuffle bits
around in decrease_reservation() to avoid this.
