skbuff: add an api to orphan frags

2014-07-11T12:33:59+00:00

commit a353e0ce0fd42d8859260666d1e9b10f2abd4698 upstream.

Many places do
       if ((skb_shinfo(skb)->tx_flags & SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY))
		skb_copy_ubufs(skb, gfp_mask);
to copy and invoke frag destructors if necessary.
Add an inline helper for this.

ptrace,x86: force IRET path after a ptrace_stop()

2014-07-11T12:33:59+00:00

commit b9cd18de4db3c9ffa7e17b0dc0ca99ed5aa4d43a upstream.

The 'sysret' fastpath does not correctly restore even all regular
registers, much less any segment registers or reflags values.  That is
very much part of why it's faster than 'iret'.

Normally that isn't a problem, because the normal ptrace() interface
catches the process using the signal handler infrastructure, which
always returns with an iret.

However, some paths can get caught using ptrace_event() instead of the
signal path, and for those we need to make sure that we aren't going to
return to user space using 'sysret'.  Otherwise the modifications that
may have been done to the register set by the tracer wouldn't
necessarily take effect.

Fix it by forcing IRET path by setting TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME from
arch_ptrace_stop_needed() which is invoked from ptrace_stop().

lib/lzo: Update LZO compression to current upstream version

2014-07-11T12:33:53+00:00

commit 8b975bd3f9089f8ee5d7bbfd798537b992bbc7e7 upstream.

This commit updates the kernel LZO code to the current upsteam version
which features a significant speed improvement - benchmarking the Calgary
and Silesia test corpora typically shows a doubled performance in
both compression and decompression on modern i386/x86_64/powerpc machines.

ptrace: fix fork event messages across pid namespaces

2014-07-11T12:33:47+00:00

commit 4e52365f279564cef0ddd41db5237f0471381093 upstream.

When tracing a process in another pid namespace, it's important for fork
event messages to contain the child's pid as seen from the tracer's pid
namespace, not the parent's.  Otherwise, the tracer won't be able to
correlate the fork event with later SIGTRAP signals it receives from the
child.

We still risk a race condition if a ptracer from a different pid
namespace attaches after we compute the pid_t value.  However, sending a
bogus fork event message in this unlikely scenario is still a vast
improvement over the status quo where we always send bogus fork event
messages to debuggers in a different pid namespace than the forking
process.

genirq: Sanitize spurious interrupt detection of threaded irqs

2014-07-11T12:33:34+00:00

commit 1e77d0a1ed7417d2a5a52a7b8d32aea1833faa6c upstream.

Till reported that the spurious interrupt detection of threaded
interrupts is broken in two ways:

- note_interrupt() is called for each action thread of a shared
  interrupt line. That's wrong as we are only interested whether none
  of the device drivers felt responsible for the interrupt, but by
  calling multiple times for a single interrupt line we account
  IRQ_NONE even if one of the drivers felt responsible.

- note_interrupt() when called from the thread handler is not
  serialized. That leaves the members of irq_desc which are used for
  the spurious detection unprotected.

To solve this we need to defer the spurious detection of a threaded
interrupt to the next hardware interrupt context where we have
implicit serialization.

If note_interrupt is called with action_ret == IRQ_WAKE_THREAD, we
check whether the previous interrupt requested a deferred check. If
not, we request a deferred check for the next hardware interrupt and
return.

If set, we check whether one of the interrupt threads signaled
success. Depending on this information we feed the result into the
spurious detector.

If one primary handler of a shared interrupt returns IRQ_HANDLED we
disable the deferred check of irq threads on the same line, as we have
found at least one device driver who cared.

ftrace/module: Hardcode ftrace_module_init() call into load_module()

2014-06-09T12:29:03+00:00

commit a949ae560a511fe4e3adf48fa44fefded93e5c2b upstream.

A race exists between module loading and enabling of function tracer.

	CPU 1				CPU 2
	-----				-----
  load_module()
   module->state = MODULE_STATE_COMING

				register_ftrace_function()
				 mutex_lock(&ftrace_lock);
				 ftrace_startup()
				  update_ftrace_function();
				   ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare()
				    set_all_module_text_rw();
				   
				    ftrace_arch_code_modify_post_process()
				     set_all_module_text_ro();

				[ here all module text is set to RO,
				  including the module that is
				  loading!! ]

   blocking_notifier_call_chain(MODULE_STATE_COMING);
    ftrace_init_module()

     [ tries to modify code, but it's RO, and fails!
       ftrace_bug() is called]

When this race happens, ftrace_bug() will produces a nasty warning and
all of the function tracing features will be disabled until reboot.

The simple solution is to treate module load the same way the core
kernel is treated at boot. To hardcode the ftrace function modification
of converting calls to mcount into nops. This is done in init/main.c
there's no reason it could not be done in load_module(). This gives
a better control of the changes and doesn't tie the state of the
module to its notifiers as much. Ftrace is special, it needs to be
treated as such.

The reason this would work, is that the ftrace_module_init() would be
called while the module is in MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED, which is ignored
by the set_all_module_text_ro() call.

'cancel_work_sync()' returns true when the work was canceled, so we

skb: Add inline helper for getting the skb end offset from head

2014-06-09T12:29:00+00:00

[ Upstream commit ec47ea82477404631d49b8e568c71826c9b663ac ]

With the recent changes for how we compute the skb truesize it occurs to me
we are probably going to have a lot of calls to skb_end_pointer -
skb->head.  Instead of running all over the place doing that it would make
more sense to just make it a separate inline skb_end_offset(skb) that way
we can return the correct value without having gcc having to do all the
optimization to cancel out skb->head - skb->head.

dmi: add support for exact DMI matches in addition to substring matching

2014-05-18T13:58:06+00:00

commit 5017b2851373ee15c7035151853bb1448800cae2 upstream.

dmi_match() considers a substring match to be a successful match.  This is
not always sufficient to distinguish between DMI data for different
systems.  Add support for exact string matching using strcmp() in addition
to the substring matching using strstr().

The specific use case in the i915 driver is to allow us to use an exact
match for D510MO, without also incorrectly matching D510MOV:

  {
	.ident = "Intel D510MO",
	.matches = {
		DMI_MATCH(DMI_BOARD_VENDOR, "Intel"),
		DMI_EXACT_MATCH(DMI_BOARD_NAME, "D510MO"),
	},
  }
