commit 4b59e6c4730978679b414a8da61514a2518da512 upstream.

On large systems with a lot of memory, walking all RAM to determine page
types may take a half second or even more.

In non-blockable contexts, the page allocator will emit a page allocation
failure warning unless __GFP_NOWARN is specified.  In such contexts, irqs
are typically disabled and such a lengthy delay may even result in NMI
watchdog timeouts.

To fix this, suppress the page walk in such contexts when printing the
page allocation failure warning.

<title>perf: Clarify perf_cpu_context::active_pmu usage by renaming it to ::unique_pmu</title>

commit 3f1f33206c16c7b3839d71372bc2ac3f305aa802 upstream.

Stephane thought the perf_cpu_context::active_pmu name confusing and
suggested using 'unique_pmu' instead.

This pointer is a pointer to a 'random' pmu sharing the cpuctx
instance, therefore limiting a for_each_pmu loop to those where
cpuctx-&gt;unique_pmu matches the pmu we get a loop over unique cpuctx
instances.

commit 331415ff16a12147d57d5c953f3a961b7ede348b upstream.

Many drivers need to validate the characteristics of their HID report
during initialization to avoid misusing the reports. This adds a common
helper to perform validation of the report exisitng, the field existing,
and the expected number of values within the field.

commit 9d8924297cd9c256c23c02abae40202563452453 upstream.

This patch fixes a build error that occurs when CONFIG_PM is enabled
and CONFIG_PM_SLEEP isn't:

&gt;&gt; drivers/usb/host/ohci-pci.c:294:10: error: 'usb_hcd_pci_pm_ops' undeclared here (not in a function)
      .pm = &amp;usb_hcd_pci_pm_ops

Since the usb_hcd_pci_pm_ops structure is defined and used when
CONFIG_PM is enabled, its declaration should not be protected by
CONFIG_PM_SLEEP.

commit 43622021d2e2b82ea03d883926605bdd0525e1d1 upstream.

The "Report ID" field of a HID report is used to build indexes of
reports. The kernel's index of these is limited to 256 entries, so any
malicious device that sets a Report ID greater than 255 will trigger
memory corruption on the host:

<title>rculist: list_first_or_null_rcu() should use list_entry_rcu()</title>

commit c34ac00caefbe49d40058ae7200bd58725cebb45 upstream.

list_first_or_null() should test whether the list is empty and return
pointer to the first entry if not in a RCU safe manner.  It's broken
in several ways.

* It compares __kernel @__ptr with __rcu @__next triggering the
  following sparse warning.

  net/core/dev.c:4331:17: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces)

* It doesn't perform rcu_dereference*() and computes the entry address
  using container_of() directly from the __rcu pointer which is
  inconsitent with other rculist interface.  As a result, all three
  in-kernel users - net/core/dev.c, macvlan, cgroup - are buggy.  They
  dereference the pointer w/o going through read barrier.

* While -&gt;next dereference passes through list_next_rcu(), the
  compiler is still free to fetch -&gt;next more than once and thus
  nullify the "__ptr != __next" condition check.

Fix it by making list_first_or_null_rcu() dereference -&gt;next directly
using ACCESS_ONCE() and then use list_entry_rcu() on it like other
rculist accessors.

v2: Paul pointed out that the compiler may fetch the pointer more than
    once nullifying the condition check.  ACCESS_ONCE() added on
    -&gt;next dereference.

v3: Restored () around macro param which was accidentally removed.
    Spotted by Paul.

[ Upstream commit 61e76b178dbe7145e8d6afa84bb4ccea71918994 ]

RFC 4443 has defined two additional codes for ICMPv6 type 1 (destination
unreachable) messages:
        5 - Source address failed ingress/egress policy
	6 - Reject route to destination

Now they are treated as protocol error and icmpv6_err_convert() converts them
to EPROTO.

RFC 4443 says:
	"Codes 5 and 6 are more informative subsets of code 1."

Treat codes 5 and 6 as code 1 (EACCES)

Btw, connect() returning -EPROTO confuses firefox, so that fallback to
other/IPv4 addresses does not work:

It is not allowed for an ipv6 packet to contain multiple fragmentation
headers. So discard packets which were already reassembled by
fragmentation logic and send back a parameter problem icmp.

The updates for RFC 6980 will come in later, I have to do a bit more
research here.

commit 41aacc1eea645c99edbe8fbcf78a97dc9b862adc upstream.

This is the updated version of df54d6fa5427 ("x86 get_unmapped_area():
use proper mmap base for bottom-up direction") that only randomizes the
mmap base address once.

commit d79ff142624e1be080ad8d09101f7004d79c36e1 upstream.

This patch adds wait_event_interruptible_lock_irq_timeout(), which is a
straight-forward descendant of wait_event_interruptible_timeout() and
wait_event_interruptible_lock_irq().

The zfcp driver used to call wait_event_interruptible_timeout()
in combination with some intricate and error-prone locking. Using
wait_event_interruptible_lock_irq_timeout() as a replacement
nicely cleans up that locking.

This rework removes a situation that resulted in a locking imbalance
in zfcp_qdio_sbal_get():

BUG: workqueue leaked lock or atomic: events/1/0xffffff00/10
    last function: zfcp_fc_wka_port_offline+0x0/0xa0 [zfcp]

It was introduced by commit c2af7545aaff3495d9bf9a7608c52f0af86fb194
"[SCSI] zfcp: Do not wait for SBALs on stopped queue", which had a new
code path related to ZFCP_STATUS_ADAPTER_QDIOUP that took an early exit
without a required lock being held. The problem occured when a
special, non-SCSI I/O request was being submitted in process context,
when the adapter's queues had been torn down. In this case the bug
surfaced when the Fibre Channel port connection for a well-known address
was closed during a concurrent adapter shut-down procedure, which is a
rare constellation.

This patch also fixes these warnings from the sparse tool (make C=1):

drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp_qdio.c:224:12: warning: context imbalance in
 'zfcp_qdio_sbal_check' - wrong count at exit
drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp_qdio.c:244:5: warning: context imbalance in
 'zfcp_qdio_sbal_get' - unexpected unlock

Last but not least, we get rid of that crappy lock-unlock-lock
sequence at the beginning of the critical section.

It is okay to call zfcp_erp_adapter_reopen() with req_q_lock held.
