The LO_ARG define needs to consider endianness also for 32 bit builds.
The "bpf_fancy" test case didn't work on s390 in 32 bit and compat mode
because the LO_ARG define resulted in a BPF program which read the upper
halve of the 64 bit system call arguments instead of the lower halves.

This patch removes empty rules (i.e. with access set to '-') from the
rule list presented to user space.
Smack by design never removes labels nor rules from its lists. Access
for a rule may be set to '-' to effectively disable it. Such rules would
show up in the listing generated when /smack/load or /smack/load2 is
read. This may cause clutter if many rules were disabled.
As a rule with access set to '-' is equivalent to no rule at all, they
may be safely hidden from the listing.

Some of the bounds checking used on the /smack/access
interface was lost when support for long labels was
added. No kernel access checks are affected, however
this is a case where /smack/access could be used
incorrectly and fail to detect the error. This patch
reintroduces the original checks.

Smack is integrated with the POSIX capabilities scheme,
using the capabilities CAP_MAC_OVERRIDE and CAP_MAC_ADMIN to
determine if a process is allowed to ignore Smack checks or
change Smack related data respectively. Smack provides an
additional restriction that if an onlycap value is set
by writing to /smack/onlycap only tasks with that Smack
label are allowed to use CAP_MAC_OVERRIDE.
This change adds CAP_MAC_ADMIN as a capability that is affected
by the onlycap mechanism.

In January of 2012 Al Viro pointed out three bits of code that
he titled "new_inode_smack bogosities". This patch repairs these
errors.
1. smack_sb_kern_mount() included a NULL check that is impossible.
The check and NULL case are removed.
2. smack_kb_kern_mount() included pointless locking. The locking is
removed. Since this is the only place that lock was used the lock
is removed from the superblock_smack structure.
3. smk_fill_super() incorrectly and unnecessarily set the Smack label
for the smackfs root inode. The assignment has been removed.

tpm_do_selftest() attempts to read a PCR in order to
decide if one can rely on the TPM being used or not.
The function that's used by __tpm_pcr_read() does not
expect the TPM to be disabled or deactivated, and if so,
reports an error.
It's fine if the TPM returns this error when trying to
use it for the first time after a power cycle, but it's
definitely not if it already returned success for a
previous attempt to read one of its PCRs.
The tpm_do_selftest() was modified so that the driver only
reports this return code as an error when it really is.

If the privileges given to root threads (3% of allowable memory) or a
negative value of /proc/pid/oom_score_adj happen to exceed the amount of
rss of a thread, its badness score overflows as a result of commit
a7f638f999ff ("mm, oom: normalize oom scores to oom_score_adj scale only
for userspace").
Fix this by making the type signed and return 1, meaning the thread is
still eligible for kill, if the value is negative.

This reverts commit 9e612a008fa7fe493a473454def56aa321479495.
It incorrectly finds VGA connectors where none are attached, apparently
not noticing that nothing replied to the EDID queries, and happily using
the default EDID modes that have nothing to do with actual hardware.
That in turn then causes X to fall down to the lowest common
denominator, which is usually the default 1024x768 mode that is in the
default EDID and pretty much anything supports).
I'd suggest that if not relying on the HDP pin, the code should at least
check whether it gets valid EDID data back, rather than just assume
there's something on the VGA connector.

This reverts commit 7732a557b1342c6e6966efb5f07effcf99f56167 (and commit
3f50fff4dace23d3cfeb195d5cd4ee813cee68b7, which was a follow-up
cleanup).
We're chasing an elusive bug that Dave Jones can apparently reproduce
using his system call fuzzer tool, and that looks like some kind of
locking ordering problem on the directory i_mutex chain. Our i_mutex
locking is rather complex, and depends on the topological ordering of
the directories, which is why we have been very wary of splicing
directory entries around.
Of course, we really don't want to ever see aliased unconnected
directories anyway, so none of this should ever happen, but this revert
aims to basically get us back to a known older state.
Bruce points to some of the previous discussion at
http://marc.info/?i=<20110310105821.GE22723@ZenIV.linux.org.uk>
and in particular a long post from Neil:
http://marc.info/?i=<20110311150749.2fa2be66@notabene.brown>
It should be noted that it's possible that Dave's problems come from
other changes altohgether, including possibly just the fact that Dave
constantly is teachning his fuzzer new tricks. So what appears to be a
new bug could in fact be an old one that just gets newly triggered, but
reverting these patches as "still under heavy discussion" is the right
thing regardless.

It was reported that compiling for 32-bit caused a bunch of

references the function __init nmi_unk_cb() [...]
Both of these are attributed to the internal representation of
the nmiaction struct created during register_nmi_handler. The
reason for this is that those structs are not defined in the
init section whereas the rest of the code in nmi_selftest.c is.
To resolve this, I created a new #define,
register_nmi_handler_initonly, that tags the struct as
__initdata to resolve the mismatch. This #define should only be
used in rare situations where the register/unregister is called
during init of the kernel.
Big thanks to Jan Beulich for decoding this for me as I didn't
have a clue what was going on.

This fixes a problem which can causes kernel oopses while loading
a kernel module.
According to the PowerPC EABI specification, GPR r11 is assigned
the dedicated function to point to the previous stack frame.
In the powerpc-specific kernel module loader, do_plt_call()
(in arch/powerpc/kernel/module_32.c), GPR r11 is also used
to generate trampoline code.
This combination crashes the kernel, in the case where the compiler
chooses to use a helper function for saving GPRs on entry, and the
module loader has placed the .init.text section far away from the
.text section, meaning that it has to generate a trampoline for
functions in the .init.text section to call the GPR save helper.
Because the trampoline trashes r11, references to the stack frame
using r11 can cause an oops.
The fix just uses GPR r12 instead of GPR r11 for generating the
trampoline code. According to the statements from Freescale, this is
safe from an EABI perspective.
I've tested the fix for kernel 2.6.33 on MPC8541.

The SGI Altix UV2 BAU (Broadcast Assist Unit) as used for
tlb-shootdown (selective broadcast mode) always uses UV2
broadcast descriptor format. There is no need to clear the
'legacy' (UV1) mode, because the hardware always uses UV2 mode
for selective broadcast.
But the BIOS uses general broadcast and legacy mode, and the
hardware pays attention to the legacy mode bit for general
broadcast. So the kernel must not clear that mode bit.

Commit 026cee0086fe1df4cf74691cf273062cc769617d "params:
<level>_initcall-like kernel parameters" set old-style module
parameters to level 0. And we call those level 0 calls where we used
to, early in start_kernel().
We also loop through the initcall levels and call the levelled
module_params before the corresponding initcall. Unfortunately level
0 is early_init(), so we call the standard module_param calls twice.
(Turns out most things don't care, but at least ubi.mtd does).
Change the level to -1 for standard module_param calls.

This reverts 68568add2c ("powerpc/time: Remove unnecessary sanity check
of decrementer expiration"). We do need to check whether we have reached
the expiration time of the next event, because we sometimes get an early
decrementer interrupt, most notably when we set the decrementer to 1 in
arch_irq_work_raise(). The effect of not having the sanity check is that
if timer_interrupt() gets called early, we leave the decrementer set to
its maximum value, which means we then don't get any more decrementer
interrupts for about 4 seconds (or longer, depending on timebase
frequency). I saw these pauses as a consequence of getting a stray
hypervisor decrementer interrupt left over from exiting a KVM guest.
This isn't quite a straight revert because of changes to the surrounding
code, but it restores the same algorithm as was previously used.

This reverts commit 40af1bbdca47e5c8a2044039bb78ca8fd8b20f94.
It's horribly and utterly broken for at least the following reasons:
- calling sync_mm_rss() from mmput() is fundamentally wrong, because
there's absolutely no reason to believe that the task that does the
mmput() always does it on its own VM. Example: fork, ptrace, /proc -
you name it.
- calling it *after* having done mmdrop() on it is doubly insane, since
the mm struct may well be gone now.
- testing mm against NULL before you call it is insane too, since a
NULL mm there would have caused oopses long before.
.. and those are just the three bugs I found before I decided to give up
looking for me and revert it asap. I should have caught it before I
even took it, but I trusted Andrew too much.

Commit 7990696 uses the ext4_{set,clear}_inode_flags() functions to
change the i_flags automatically but fails to remove the error setting
of i_flags. So we still have the problem of trashing state flags.
Fix this by removing the assignment.

Ext3 filesystems that are converted to use as many ext4 file system
features as possible will enable uninit_bg to speed up e2fsck times.
These file systems will have a native ext3 layout of inode tables and
block allocation bitmaps (as opposed to ext4's flex_bg layout).
Unfortunately, in these cases, when first allocating a block in an
uninitialized block group, ext4 would incorrectly calculate the number
of free blocks in that block group, and then errorneously report that
the file system was corrupt:
EXT4-fs error (device vdd): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:741: group 30, 32254 clusters in bitmap, 32258 in gd
This problem can be reproduced via:
mke2fs -q -t ext4 -O ^flex_bg /dev/vdd 5g
mount -t ext4 /dev/vdd /mnt
fallocate -l 4600m /mnt/test
The problem was caused by a bone headed mistake in the check to see if a
particular metadata block was part of the block group.
Many thanks to Kees Cook for finding and bisecting the buggy commit
which introduced this bug (commit fd034a84e1, present since v3.2).

mm->rss_stat counters have per-task delta: task->rss_stat. Before
changing task->mm pointer the kernel must flush this delta with
sync_mm_rss().
do_exit() already calls sync_mm_rss() to flush the rss-counters before
committing the rss statistics into task->signal->maxrss, taskstats,
audit and other stuff. Unfortunately the kernel does this before
calling mm_release(), which can call put_user() for processing
task->clear_child_tid. So at this point we can trigger page-faults and
task->rss_stat becomes non-zero again. As a result mm->rss_stat becomes
inconsistent and check_mm() will print something like this:
| BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff88020813c380 idx:1 val:-1
| BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff88020813c380 idx:2 val:1
This patch moves sync_mm_rss() into mm_release(), and moves mm_release()
out of do_exit() and calls it earlier. After mm_release() there should
be no pagefaults.

Storing NULL values in the btree is illegal and can lead to memory
corruption and possible other fun as well. Catch it on insert, instead
of waiting for the inevitable.
