b0de22bdff ACPICA: Windows compatibility fix: same buffer/string store
Fix a compatibility issue when the same buffer or string is
stored to itself. This has been seen in the field. Previously,
ACPICA would zero out the buffer/string. Now, the operation is
treated as a NOP.

11ebd1bf07 ipw2200: firmware DMA loading rework
Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz reported an atomic order-6 allocation failure
for ipw2200 firmware loading in kernel 2.6.30. High order allocation is
likely to fail and should always be avoided.

The patch fixes this problem by replacing the original order-6
pci_alloc_consistent() with an array of order-1 pages from a pci pool.
This utilized the ipw2200 DMA command blocks (up to 64 slots). The
maximum firmware size support remains the same (64*8K).

This patch fixes bug http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14016

750a8870fe inotify: update the group mask on mark addition
Seperating the addition and update of marks in inotify resulted in a
regression in that inotify never gets events.  The inotify group mask is
always 0.  This mask should be updated any time a new mark is added.

83cb10f0ef inotify: fix length reporting and size checking
0db501bd06 introduced a regresion in that it now sends a nul

b962e7312a inotify: do not send a block of zeros when no pathname is available
When an event has no pathname, there's no need to pad it with a null byte and
therefore generate an inotify_event sized block of zeros. This fixes a

my system wouldn't finish booting because some process was being confused by
this.

0dd7b74787 tracing: Fix double CPP substitution in TRACE_EVENT_FN
TRACE_EVENT_FN relays on TRACE_EVENT by reprocessing its parameters
into the ftrace events CPP macro. This leads to a double substitution
in some cases.

For example, a bad consequence is a format always prefixed by
"%s, %s\n" for every TRACE_EVENT_FN based events.

Eg:
	cat /debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter/format
	[...]
	print fmt: "%s, %s\n", "\"NR %ld (%lx, %lx, %lx, %lx, %lx, %lx)\"",\
	"REC->id, REC->args[0], REC->args[1], REC->args[2], REC->args[3],\
	REC->args[4], REC->args[5]"

This creates a failure in post-processing tools such as perf trace or
trace-cmd.

Then drop this double substitution and replace it by a new __cpparg()
macro that relays CPP arguments containing commas.

a1b08e75df ocfs2: invalidate dentry if its dentry_lock isn't initialized.
In commit a5a0a63092, when
ocfs2_attch_dentry_lock fails, we call an extra iput and reset
dentry->d_fsdata to NULL. This resolve a bug, but it isn't
completed and the dentry is still there. When we want to use
it again, ocfs2_dentry_revalidate doesn't catch it and return
true. That make future ocfs2_dentry_lock panic out.
One bug is http://oss.oracle.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1162.

The resolution is to add a check for dentry->d_fsdata in
revalidate process and return false if dentry->d_fsdata is NULL,
so that a new ocfs2_lookup will be called again.

1b364bf438 module: workaround duplicate section names
The root cause is a duplicate section name (.text); is this legal?
[ Amerigo Wang: "AFAIK, yes." ]

However, there's a problem with commit
6d76013381 in that if you fail to allocate
a mod->sect_attrs (in this case it's null because of the duplication),
it still gets used without checking in add_notes_attrs()

This should fix it

[ This patch leaves other problems, particularly the sections directory,
  but recent parisc toolchains seem to produce these modules and this

6c347d43ee tracing: Undef TRACE_EVENT_FN between trace events headers inclusion
The recent commit:

	tracing/events: fix the include file dependencies

fixed a file dependency problem while including more than
one trace event header file.

This fix undefined TRACE_EVENT after an event header macro
preprocessing in order to make tracepoint.h able to correctly declare
the tracepoints necessary for the next event header file.

But now we also need to undefine TRACE_EVENT_FN at the end of an event
header file preprocessing for the same reason.

This fixes the following build error:

0db501bd06 inotify: Ensure we alwasy write the terminating NULL.
Before the rewrite copy_event_to_user always wrote a terqminating '\0'
byte to user space after the filename.  Since the rewrite that
terminating byte was skipped if your filename is exactly a multiple of
event_size.  Ouch!

So add one byte to name_size before we round up and use clear_user to
set userspace to zero like /dev/zero does instead of copying the
strange nul_inotify_event.  I can't quite convince myself len_to_zero
will never exceed 16 and even if it doesn't clear_user should be more
efficient and a more accurate reflection of what the code is trying to
do.

2a908002c7 ACPI processor: force throttling state when BIOS returns incorrect value
If the BIOS reports an invalid throttling state (which seems to be
fairly common after system boot), a reset is done to state T0.
Because of a check in acpi_processor_get_throttling_ptc(), the reset
never actually gets executed, which results in the error reoccurring
on every access of for example /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling.

Add a 'force' option to acpi_processor_set_throttling() to ensure
the reset really takes effect.

This patch, together with the next one, fixes a regression introduced in
2.6.30, listed on the regression list. They have been available for 2.5
months now in bugzilla, but have not been picked up, despite various
reminders and without any reason given.

Google shows that numerous people are hitting this issue. The issue is in
itself relatively minor, but the bug in the code is clear.

The patches have been in all my kernels and today testing has shown that
throttling works correctly with the patches applied when the system
overheats (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13918#c14).

like this one (wmi_query_block):
        char wc[4]="WC";
	....
	strncat(method, block->object_id, 2);
        ...
the length of wc should be n+1 (wc[5]) or stack protection
fault will arise. This is not noticeable when stack protection is
disabled,but , isn't good either.

0d288162f2 thermal_sys: check get_temp return value
The return value of the get_temp function is not checked when doing a
thermal zone update.  This may lead to a critical shutdown if get_temp
fails and the content of the temp variable is incorrectly set higher than
the critical trip point.

This has been observed on a system with incorrect ACPI implementation
where the corresponding methods were not serialized and therefore
sometimes triggered ACPI errors (AE_ALREADY_EXISTS).  The following
critical shutdowns indicated a temperature of 2097 C, which was obviously
wrong.

The patch adds a return value check that jumps over all trip point
evaluations printing a warning if get_temp fails.  The trip points are
evaluated again on the next polling interval with successful get_temp
execution.

4ab6c08336 clone(): fix race between copy_process() and de_thread()
Spotted by Hiroshi Shimamoto who also provided the test-case below.

copy_process() uses signal->count as a reference counter, but it is not.
This test case

	#include <sys/types.h>
	#include <sys/wait.h>
	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <errno.h>
	#include <pthread.h>

	void *null_thread(void *p)
	{
		for (;;)
			sleep(1);

		return NULL;
	}

	void *exec_thread(void *p)
	{
		execl("/bin/true", "/bin/true", NULL);

		return null_thread(p);
	}

	int main(int argc, char **argv)
	{
		for (;;) {
			pid_t pid;
			int ret, status;

			pid = fork();
			if (pid < 0)
				break;

			if (!pid) {
				pthread_t tid;

				pthread_create(&tid, NULL, exec_thread, NULL);
				for (;;)
					pthread_create(&tid, NULL, null_thread, NULL);
			}

			do {
				ret = waitpid(pid, &status, 0);
			} while (ret == -1 && errno == EINTR);
		}

		return 0;
	}

quickly creates an unkillable task.

If copy_process(CLONE_THREAD) races with de_thread()
copy_signal()->atomic(signal->count) breaks the signal->notify_count
logic, and the execing thread can hang forever in kernel space.

Change copy_process() to increment count/live only when we know for sure
we can't fail.  In this case the forked thread will take care of its
reference to signal correctly.

If copy_process() fails, check CLONE_THREAD flag.  If it it set - do
nothing, the counters were not changed and current belongs to the same
thread group.  If it is not set, ->signal must be released in any case
(and ->count must be == 1), the forked child is the only thread in the
thread group.

We need more cleanups here, in particular signal->count should not be used
by de_thread/__exit_signal at all.  This patch only fixes the bug.

03ef83af52 mm: fix for infinite churning of mlocked pages
An mlocked page might lose the isolatation race.  This causes the page to
clear PG_mlocked while it remains in a VM_LOCKED vma.  This means it can
be put onto the [in]active list.  We can rescue it by using try_to_unmap()
in shrink_page_list().

But now, As Wu Fengguang pointed out, vmscan has a bug.  If the page has
PG_referenced, it can't reach try_to_unmap() in shrink_page_list() but is
put into the active list.  If the page is referenced repeatedly, it can
remain on the [in]active list without being moving to the unevictable
list.

This patch fixes it.

b62e408c05 flex_array: convert element_nr formals to unsigned
It's problematic to allow signed element_nr's or total's to be passed as
part of the flex array API.

flex_array_alloc() allows total_nr_elements to be set to a negative
quantity, which is obviously erroneous.

flex_array_get() and flex_array_put() allows negative array indices in
dereferencing an array part, which could address memory mapped before
struct flex_array.

The fix is to convert all existing element_nr formals to be qualified as
unsigned.  Existing checks to compare it to total_nr_elements or the max
array size based on element_size need not be changed.

a30b595d2c flex_array: fix get function for elements in base starting at non-zero
If all array elements fit into the base structure and data is copied using
flex_array_put() starting at a non-zero index, flex_array_get() will fail
to return the data.

This fixes the bug by only checking for NULL parts when all elements do
not fit in the base structure when flex_array_get() is used.  Otherwise,
fa_element_to_part_nr() will always be 0 since there are no parts
structures needed and such element may never have been put.  Thus, it will
remain NULL due to the kzalloc() of the base.

Additionally, flex_array_put() now only checks for a NULL part when all
elements do not fit in the base structure.  This is otherwise unnecessary
since the base structure is guaranteed to exist (or we would have already
hit a NULL pointer).

53a7197aff IMA: iint put in ima_counts_get and put
ima_counts_get() calls ima_iint_find_insert_get() which takes a reference
to the iint in question, but does not put that reference at the end of the
function.  This can lead to a nasty memory leak.  Easy enough to reproduce:

#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main (void)
{
	int i;
	void *ptr;

	for (i=0; i < 100000; i++) {
		ptr = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
			   MAP_SHARED|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
		if (ptr == MAP_FAILED)
			return 2;
		munmap(ptr, 4096);
	}

	return 0;
}
