[ Upstream commit 689de1d6ca95b3b5bd8ee446863bf81a4883ea25 ]

This is a fairly minimal fixup to the horribly bad behavior of hash_64()
with certain input patterns.

In particular, because the multiplicative value used for the 64-bit hash
was intentionally bit-sparse (so that the multiply could be done with
shifts and adds on architectures without hardware multipliers), some
bits did not get spread out very much.  In particular, certain fairly
common bit ranges in the input (roughly bits 12-20: commonly with the
most information in them when you hash things like byte offsets in files
or memory that have block factors that mean that the low bits are often
zero) would not necessarily show up much in the result.

There's a bigger patch-series brewing to fix up things more completely,
but this is the fairly minimal fix for the 64-bit hashing problem.  It
simply picks a much better constant multiplier, spreading the bits out a
lot better.

NOTE! For 32-bit architectures, the bad old hash_64() remains the same
for now, since 64-bit multiplies are expensive.  The bigger hashing
cleanup will replace the 32-bit case with something better.

The new constants were picked by George Spelvin who wrote that bigger
cleanup series.  I just picked out the constants and part of the comment
from that series.

<title>regulator: s2mps11: Fix invalid selector mask and voltages for buck9</title>

[ Upstream commit 3b672623079bb3e5685b8549e514f2dfaa564406 ]

The buck9 regulator of S2MPS11 PMIC had incorrect vsel_mask (0xff
instead of 0x1f) thus reading entire register as buck9's voltage. This
effectively caused regulator core to interpret values as higher voltages
than they were and then to set real voltage much lower than intended.

The buck9 provides power to other regulators, including LDO13
and LDO19 which supply the MMC2 (SD card). On Odroid XU3/XU4 the lower
voltage caused SD card detection errors on Odroid XU3/XU4:
	mmc1: card never left busy state
	mmc1: error -110 whilst initialising SD card

During driver probe the regulator core was checking whether initial
voltage matches the constraints. With incorrect vsel_mask of 0xff and
default value of 0x50, the core interpreted this as 5 V which is outside
of constraints (3-3.775 V). Then the regulator core was adjusting the
voltage to match the constraints. With incorrect vsel_mask this new
voltage mapped to a vere low voltage in the driver.

s390 has a constant hugepage size, by setting HPAGE_SHIFT we also change
e.g. the pageblock_order, which should be independent in respect to
hugepage support.

With this patch every architecture is free to define how to check
for hugepage support.

[ Upstream commit 95272c29378ee7dc15f43fa2758cb28a5913a06d ]

-ftracer can duplicate asm blocks causing compilation to fail in
noclone functions.  For example, KVM declares a global variable
in an asm like

    asm("2: ... \n
         .pushsection data \n
         .global vmx_return \n
         vmx_return: .long 2b");

and -ftracer causes a double declaration.

[ Upstream commit 378c6520e7d29280f400ef2ceaf155c86f05a71a ]

This commit fixes the following security hole affecting systems where
all of the following conditions are fulfilled:

 - The fs.suid_dumpable sysctl is set to 2.
 - The kernel.core_pattern sysctl's value starts with "/". (Systems
   where kernel.core_pattern starts with "|/" are not affected.)
 - Unprivileged user namespace creation is permitted. (This is
   true on Linux &gt;=3.8, but some distributions disallow it by
   default using a distro patch.)

Under these conditions, if a program executes under secure exec rules,
causing it to run with the SUID_DUMP_ROOT flag, then unshares its user
namespace, changes its root directory and crashes, the coredump will be
written using fsuid=0 and a path derived from kernel.core_pattern - but
this path is interpreted relative to the root directory of the process,
allowing the attacker to control where a coredump will be written with
root privileges.

To fix the security issue, always interpret core_pattern for dumps that
are written under SUID_DUMP_ROOT relative to the root directory of init.

[ Upstream commit 378c6520e7d29280f400ef2ceaf155c86f05a71a ]

This commit fixes the following security hole affecting systems where
all of the following conditions are fulfilled:

 - The fs.suid_dumpable sysctl is set to 2.
 - The kernel.core_pattern sysctl's value starts with "/". (Systems
   where kernel.core_pattern starts with "|/" are not affected.)
 - Unprivileged user namespace creation is permitted. (This is
   true on Linux &gt;=3.8, but some distributions disallow it by
   default using a distro patch.)

Under these conditions, if a program executes under secure exec rules,
causing it to run with the SUID_DUMP_ROOT flag, then unshares its user
namespace, changes its root directory and crashes, the coredump will be
written using fsuid=0 and a path derived from kernel.core_pattern - but
this path is interpreted relative to the root directory of the process,
allowing the attacker to control where a coredump will be written with
root privileges.

To fix the security issue, always interpret core_pattern for dumps that
are written under SUID_DUMP_ROOT relative to the root directory of init.

<title>tracing: Fix trace_printk() to print when not using bprintk()</title>

[ Upstream commit 3debb0a9ddb16526de8b456491b7db60114f7b5e ]

The trace_printk() code will allocate extra buffers if the compile detects
that a trace_printk() is used. To do this, the format of the trace_printk()
is saved to the __trace_printk_fmt section, and if that section is bigger
than zero, the buffers are allocated (along with a message that this has
happened).

If trace_printk() uses a format that is not a constant, and thus something
not guaranteed to be around when the print happens, the compiler optimizes
the fmt out, as it is not used, and the __trace_printk_fmt section is not
filled. This means the kernel will not allocate the special buffers needed
for the trace_printk() and the trace_printk() will not write anything to the
tracing buffer.

Adding a "__used" to the variable in the __trace_printk_fmt section will
keep it around, even though it is set to NULL. This will keep the string
from being printed in the debugfs/tracing/printk_formats section as it is
not needed.

[ Upstream commit 81ad4276b505e987dd8ebbdf63605f92cd172b52 ]

In some cases, platform thermal driver may report invalid trip points,
thermal core should not take any action for these trip points.

This fixed a regression that bogus trip point starts to screw up thermal
control on some Lenovo laptops, after

    Thermal: initialize thermal zone device correctly

    After thermal zone device registered, as we have not read any
    temperature before, thus tz-&gt;temperature should not be 0,
    which actually means 0C, and thermal trend is not available.
    In this case, we need specially handling for the first
    thermal_zone_device_update().

    Both thermal core framework and step_wise governor is
    enhanced to handle this. And since the step_wise governor
    is the only one that uses trends, so it's the only thermal
    governor that needs to be updated.
