commit ce73ec6db47af84d1466402781ae0872a9e7873c upstream.

The locking in update_vsyscall_tz() is not only unnecessary because the vdso
code copies the data unproteced in __kernel_gettimeofday() but also
introduces a hard to reproduce race condition between update_vsyscall()
and update_vsyscall_tz(), which causes user space process to loop
forever in vdso code.

The following patch removes the locking from update_vsyscall_tz().

Locking is not only unnecessary because the vdso code copies the data
unprotected in __kernel_gettimeofday() but also erroneous because updating
the tb_update_count is not atomic and introduces a hard to reproduce race
condition between update_vsyscall() and update_vsyscall_tz(), which further
causes user space process to loop forever in vdso code.

The below scenario describes the race condition,
x==0	Boot CPU			other CPU
	proc_P: x==0
	    timer interrupt
		update_vsyscall
x==1		    x++;sync		settimeofday
					    update_vsyscall_tz
x==2						x++;sync
x==3		    sync;x++
						sync;x++
	proc_P: x==3 (loops until x becomes even)

Because the ++ operator would be implemented as three instructions and not
atomic on powerpc.

A similar change was made for x86 in commit 6c260d58634
("x86: vdso: Remove bogus locking in update_vsyscall_tz")

commit 11ee7e99f35ecb15f59b21da6a82d96d2cd3fcc8 upstream.

If we build a kernel with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=n,
the kernel fails when we run at a non zero offset. It turns out
we were incorrectly wrapping some of the relocatable kernel code
with CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP.

<title>cpuidle/powerpc: Fix smt_snooze_delay functionality.</title>

<id>8ea959a17fe6e27f7954dddad5b17b0e33f0d7ee</id>
<content type='text'>
smt_snooze_delay was designed to  delay idle loop's nap entry
in the native idle code before it got  ported over to use as part of
the cpuidle framework.

A -ve value  assigned to smt_snooze_delay should result in
busy looping, in other words disabling the entry to nap state.

	- https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2010-May/082450.html

This particular functionality can be achieved currently by
echo 1 &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/state1/disable
but it is broken when one assigns -ve value to  the smt_snooze_delay
variable either via sysfs entry or ppc64_cpu util.

This patch aims to fix this, by disabling nap state when smt_snooze_delay
variable is set to -ve value.

<content type='text'>
This is a preparatory patch for the introduction of NT_SIGINFO elf note.

Make the location of compat_siginfo_t uniform across eight architectures
which have it.  Now it can be pulled in by including asm/compat.h or
linux/compat.h.

Most of the copies are verbatim.  compat_uid[32]_t had to be replaced by
__compat_uid[32]_t.  compat_uptr_t had to be moved up before
compat_siginfo_t in asm/compat.h on a several architectures (tile already
had it moved up).  compat_sigval_t had to be relocated from linux/compat.h
to asm/compat.h.

Pull crypto update from Herbert Xu:
 - Optimised AES/SHA1 for ARM.
 - IPsec ESN support in talitos and caam.
 - x86_64/avx implementation of cast5/cast6.
 - Add/use multi-algorithm registration helpers where possible.
 - Added IBM Power7+ in-Nest support.
 - Misc fixes.

Fix up trivial conflicts in crypto/Kconfig due to the sparc64 crypto
config options being added next to the new ARM ones.

[ Side note: cut-and-paste duplicate help texts make those conflicts
  harder to read than necessary, thanks to git being smart about
  minimizing conflicts and maximizing the common parts... ]

  crypto: x86/glue_helper - fix storing of new IV in CBC encryption
  crypto: cast5/avx - fix storing of new IV in CBC encryption
  crypto: tcrypt - add missing tests for camellia and ghash

<title>powerpc/iommu: Fix multiple issues with IOMMU pools code</title>

<id>d900bd7366463fd96a907b2c212242e2b68b27d8</id>

There are a number of issues in the recent IOMMU pools code:

- On a preempt kernel we might switch CPUs in the middle of building
  a scatter gather list. When this happens the handle hint passed in
  no longer falls within the local CPU's pool. Check for this and
  fall back to the pool hint.

- We were missing a spin_unlock/spin_lock in one spot where we
  switch pools.

- We need to provide locking around dart_tlb_invalidate_all and
  dart_tlb_invalidate_one now that the global lock is gone.

Pull security subsystem updates from James Morris:
 "Highlights:

   - Integrity: add local fs integrity verification to detect offline
     attacks
   - Integrity: add digital signature verification
   - Simple stacking of Yama with other LSMs (per LSS discussions)
   - IBM vTPM support on ppc64
   - Add new driver for Infineon I2C TIS TPM
   - Smack: add rule revocation for subject labels"

Fixed conflicts with the user namespace support in kernel/auditsc.c and
security/integrity/ima/ima_policy.c.

* 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security: (39 commits)
  Documentation: Update git repository URL for Smack userland tools
  ima: change flags container data type
  Smack: setprocattr memory leak fix
  Smack: implement revoking all rules for a subject label
  Smack: remove task_wait() hook.
  ima: audit log hashes
  ima: generic IMA action flag handling
  ima: rename ima_must_appraise_or_measure
  audit: export audit_log_task_info
  tpm: fix tpm_acpi sparse warning on different address spaces
  samples/seccomp: fix 31 bit build on s390
  ima: digital signature verification support
  ima: add support for different security.ima data types
  ima: add ima_inode_setxattr/removexattr function and calls
  ima: add inode_post_setattr call
  ima: replace iint spinblock with rwlock/read_lock
  ima: allocating iint improvements
