Random cleanup - this code was duplicated and it's not really specific
to md.

9f060e2231 block: Convert integrity to bvec_alloc_bs()
This adds a pointer to the bvec array to struct bio_integrity_payload,
instead of the bvecs always being inline; then the bvecs are allocated
with bvec_alloc_bs().

Changed bvec_alloc_bs() and bvec_free_bs() to take a pointer to a
mempool instead of the bioset, so that bio integrity can use a different
mempool for its bvecs, and thus avoid a potential deadlock.

This is eventually for immutable bio vecs - immutable bvecs aren't
useful if we still have to copy them, hence the need for the pointer.
Less code is always nice too, though.

Also, bio_integrity_alloc() was using fs_bio_set if no bio_set was
specified. This was wrong - using the bio_set doesn't protect us from
memory allocation failures, because we just used kmalloc for the
bio_integrity_payload. But it does introduce the possibility of
deadlock, if for some reason we weren't supposed to be using fs_bio_set.

6fda981caf block: Fix a buffer overrun in bio_integrity_split()
bio_integrity_split() seemed to be confusing pointers and arrays -
bip_vec in bio_integrity_payload was an array appended to the end of the
payload, so the bio_vecs in struct bio_pair should have come after the
bio_integrity_payload they're for.

Fix it by making bip_vec a pointer to the inline vecs - a later patch is
going to make more use of this pointer.

df2cb6daa4 block: Avoid deadlocks with bio allocation by stacking drivers
Previously, if we ever try to allocate more than once from the same bio
set while running under generic_make_request() (i.e. a stacking block
driver), we risk deadlock.

This is because of the code in generic_make_request() that converts
recursion to iteration; any bios we submit won't actually be submitted
(so they can complete and eventually be freed) until after we return -
this means if we allocate a second bio, we're blocking the first one
from ever being freed.

Thus if enough threads call into a stacking block driver at the same
time with bios that need multiple splits, and the bio_set's reserve gets
used up, we deadlock.

This can be worked around in the driver code - we could check if we're
running under generic_make_request(), then mask out __GFP_WAIT when we
go to allocate a bio, and if the allocation fails punt to workqueue and
retry the allocation.

But this is tricky and not a generic solution. This patch solves it for
all users by inverting the previously described technique. We allocate a
rescuer workqueue for each bio_set, and then in the allocation code if
there are bios on current->bio_list we would be blocking, we punt them
to the rescuer workqueue to be submitted.

This guarantees forward progress for bio allocations under
generic_make_request() provided each bio is submitted before allocating
the next, and provided the bios are freed after they complete.

Note that this doesn't do anything for allocation from other mempools.
Instead of allocating per bio data structures from a mempool, code
should use bio_set's front_pad.

Tested it by forcing the rescue codepath to be taken (by disabling the
first GFP_NOWAIT) attempt, and then ran it with bcache (which does a lot
of arbitrary bio splitting) and verified that the rescuer was being
invoked.

   The patch here moves two defines from asm-generic/atomic.h to

1d9d8639c0 perf,x86: fix kernel crash with PEBS/BTS after suspend/resume
This patch fixes a kernel crash when using precise sampling (PEBS)
after a suspend/resume. Turns out the CPU notifier code is not invoked
on CPU0 (BP). Therefore, the DS_AREA (used by PEBS) is not restored properly
by the kernel and keeps it power-on/resume value of 0 causing any PEBS
measurement to crash when running on CPU0.

The workaround is to add a hook in the actual resume code to restore
the DS Area MSR value. It is invoked for all CPUS. So for all but CPU0,
the DS_AREA will be restored twice but this is harmless.

f65846a180 list: Fix double fetch of pointer in hlist_entry_safe()
The current version of hlist_entry_safe() fetches the pointer twice,
once to test for NULL and the other to compute the offset back to the
enclosing structure.  This is OK for normal lock-based use because in
that case, the pointer cannot change.  However, when the pointer is
protected by RCU (as in "rcu_dereference(p)"), then the pointer can
change at any time.  This use case can result in the following sequence
of events:

1.	CPU 0 invokes hlist_entry_safe(), fetches the RCU-protected
	pointer as sees that it is non-NULL.

2.	CPU 1 invokes hlist_del_rcu(), deleting the entry that CPU 0
	just fetched a pointer to.  Because this is the last entry
	in the list, the pointer fetched by CPU 0 is now NULL.

3.	CPU 0 refetches the pointer, obtains NULL, and then gets a
	NULL-pointer crash.

This commit therefore applies gcc's "({ })" statement expression to
create a temporary variable so that the specified pointer is fetched
only once, avoiding the above sequence of events.  Please note that
it is the caller's responsibility to use rcu_dereference() as needed.
This allows RCU-protected uses to work correctly without imposing
any additional overhead on the non-RCU case.

Many thanks to Eric Dumazet for spotting root cause!

ca044f9a9e UAPI: fix endianness conditionals in linux/raid/md_p.h
In the UAPI header files, __BIG_ENDIAN and __LITTLE_ENDIAN must be
compared against __BYTE_ORDER in preprocessor conditionals where these are
exposed to userspace (that is they're not inside __KERNEL__ conditionals).

However, in the main kernel the norm is to check for
"defined(__XXX_ENDIAN)" rather than comparing against __BYTE_ORDER and
this has incorrectly leaked into the userspace headers.

The definition of struct mdp_superblock_s in linux/raid/md_p.h is wrong in
this way.  Note that userspace will likely interpret the ordering of the
fields incorrectly as the big-endian variant on a little-endian machines -
depending on header inclusion order.

[!!!] NOTE [!!!]  This patch may adversely change the userspace API.  It might
be better to fix the ordering of events_hi, events_lo, cp_events_hi and
cp_events_lo in struct mdp_superblock_s / typedef mdp_super_t.

22dfab7fd7 Input: atmel_mxt_ts - Support for touchpad variant
This same driver can be used by atmel based touchscreens and touchpads
(buttonpads). Platform data may specify a device is a touchpad
using the is_tp flag.

This will cause the driver to perform some touchpad specific
initializations, such as:
  * register input device name "Atmel maXTouch Touchpad" instead of
  Touchscreen.
  * register BTN_LEFT & BTN_TOOL_* event types.
  * register axis resolution (as a fixed constant, for now)
  * register BUTTONPAD property
  * process GPIO buttons using reportid T19

Input event GPIO mapping is done by the platform data key_map array.

key_map[x] should contain the KEY or BTN code to send when processing
GPIOx from T19. To specify a GPIO as not an input source, populate
with KEY_RESERVED, or 0.

c705c78c0d acpi: Export the acpi_processor_get_performance_info
The git commit d5aaffa9dd
(cpufreq: handle cpufreq being disabled for all exported function)
tightens the cpufreq API by returning errors when disable_cpufreq()
had been called.

The problem we are hitting is that the module xen-acpi-processor which
uses the ACPI's functions: acpi_processor_register_performance,
acpi_processor_preregister_performance, and acpi_processor_notify_smm
fails at acpi_processor_register_performance with -22.

Note that earlier during bootup in arch/x86/xen/setup.c there is also
an call to cpufreq's API: disable_cpufreq().

This is b/c we want the Linux kernel to parse the ACPI data, but leave
the cpufreq decisions to the hypervisor.

In v3.9 all the checks that d5aaffa9dd
added are now hit and the calls to cpufreq_register_notifier will now
fail. This means that acpi_processor_ppc_init ends up printing:

"Warning: Processor Platform Limit not supported"

and the acpi_processor_ppc_status is not set.

The repercussions of that is that the call to
acpi_processor_register_performance fails right away at:

	if (!(acpi_processor_ppc_status & PPC_REGISTERED))

and we don't progress any further on parsing and extracting the _P*
objects.

The only reason the Xen code called that function was b/c it was
exported and the only way to gather the P-states. But we can also
just make acpi_processor_get_performance_info be exported and not
use acpi_processor_register_performance. This patch does so.

After PCI and USB have stopped using the .find_bridge() callback in

only pretends to be a user, because it points that callback to a stub

53540098b2 ACPI / glue: Add .match() callback to struct acpi_bus_type
USB uses the .find_bridge() callback from struct acpi_bus_type
incorrectly, because as a result of the way it is used by USB every
device in the system that doesn't have a bus type or parent is
passed to usb_acpi_find_device() for inspection.

What USB actually needs, though, is to call usb_acpi_find_device()
for USB ports that don't have a bus type defined, but have
usb_port_device_type as their device type, as well as for USB
devices.

To fix that replace the struct bus_type pointer in struct
acpi_bus_type used for matching devices to specific subsystems
with a .match() callback to be used for this purpose and update
the users of struct acpi_bus_type, including USB, accordingly.
Define the .match() callback routine for USB, usb_acpi_bus_match(),
in such a way that it will cover both USB devices and USB ports
and remove the now redundant .find_bridge() callback pointer from
usb_acpi_bus.

7f78e03513 fs: Limit sys_mount to only request filesystem modules.
Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-"
and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules
to match.

A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code
that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many
users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel.

Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible
modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially
making things safer with no real cost.

Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which
filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf
with blacklist and alias directives.  Allowing simple, safe,
well understood work-arounds to known problematic software.

This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem
name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading
would not work.  While writing this patch I saw a handful of such
cases.  The most significant being autofs that lives in the module
autofs4.

This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request
module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and
people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case
the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module.

After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any
particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond
making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem
module.  The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module()
without regards to the users permissions.  In general all a filesystem
module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep.
Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a
filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted.  In a user
namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT,
which most filesystems do not set today.

Yay.  No more uapi movement.  And hopefully no more big header file
cleanups coming up either, it just tends to be very painful.

Linus Torvalds
56a79b7b02 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull  more VFS bits from Al Viro:
 "Unfortunately, it looks like xattr series will have to wait until the
  next cycle ;-/

  This pile contains 9p cleanups and fixes (races in v9fs_fid_add()
  etc), fixup for nommu breakage in shmem.c, several cleanups and a bit
  more file_inode() work"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  constify path_get/path_put and fs_struct.c stuff
  fix nommu breakage in shmem.c
  cache the value of file_inode() in struct file
  9p: if v9fs_fid_lookup() gets to asking server, it'd better have hashed dentry
  9p: make sure ->lookup() adds fid to the right dentry
  9p: untangle ->lookup() a bit
  9p: double iput() in ->lookup() if d_materialise_unique() fails
  9p: v9fs_fid_add() can't fail now
  v9fs: get rid of v9fs_dentry
  9p: turn fid->dlist into hlist
  9p: don't bother with private lock in ->d_fsdata; dentry->d_lock will do just fine
  more file_inode() open-coded instances
  selinux: opened file can't have NULL or negative ->f_path.dentry

(In the meantime, the hlist traversal macros have changed, so this
required a semantic conflict fixup for the newly hlistified fid->dlist)
