commit 2395928158059b8f9858365fce7713ce7fef62e4 upstream.

There exists multiple path may do zram compaction concurrently.
1. auto-compaction triggered during memory reclaim
2. userspace utils write zram&lt;id&gt;/compaction node

So, multiple threads may call zs_shrinker_scan/zs_compact concurrently.
But pages_compacted is a per zsmalloc pool variable and modification
of the variable is not serialized(through under class-&gt;lock).
There are two issues here:
1. the pages_compacted may not equal to total number of pages
freed(due to concurrently add).
2. zs_shrinker_scan may not return the correct number of pages
freed(issued by current shrinker).

The fix is simple:
1. account the number of pages freed in zs_compact locally.
2. use actomic variable pages_compacted to accumulate total number.

commit 2efc459d06f1630001e3984854848a5647086232 upstream.

Output defects can exist in sysfs content using sprintf and snprintf.

sprintf does not know the PAGE_SIZE maximum of the temporary buffer
used for outputting sysfs content and it's possible to overrun the
PAGE_SIZE buffer length.

Add a generic sysfs_emit function that knows that the size of the
temporary buffer and ensures that no overrun is done.

Add a generic sysfs_emit_at function that can be used in multiple
call situations that also ensures that no overrun is done.

Validate the output buffer argument to be page aligned.
Validate the offset len argument to be within the PAGE_SIZE buf.

<title>block: Move SECTOR_SIZE and SECTOR_SHIFT definitions into &lt;linux/blkdev.h&gt;</title>

commit 233bde21aa43516baa013ef7ac33f3427056db3e upstream.

It happens often while I'm preparing a patch for a block driver that
I'm wondering: is a definition of SECTOR_SIZE and/or SECTOR_SHIFT
available for this driver? Do I have to introduce definitions of these
constants before I can use these constants? To avoid this confusion,
move the existing definitions of SECTOR_SIZE and SECTOR_SHIFT into the
&lt;linux/blkdev.h&gt; header file such that these become available for all
block drivers. Make the SECTOR_SIZE definition in the uapi msdos_fs.h
header file conditional to avoid that including that header file after
&lt;linux/blkdev.h&gt; causes the compiler to complain about a SECTOR_SIZE
redefinition.

Note: the SECTOR_SIZE / SECTOR_SHIFT / SECTOR_BITS definitions have
not been removed from uapi header files nor from NAND drivers in
which these constants are used for another purpose than converting
block layer offsets and sizes into a number of sectors.

commit 3aa6bce9af0e25b735c9c1263739a5639a336ae8 upstream.

Prevent netif_tx_disable() running concurrently with dev_watchdog() by
taking the device global xmit lock. Otherwise, the recommended:

	netif_carrier_off(dev);
	netif_tx_disable(dev);

driver shutdown sequence can happen after the watchdog has already
checked carrier, resulting in possible false alarms. This is because
netif_tx_lock() only sets the frozen bit without maintaining the locks
on the individual queues.

<title>memcg: fix a crash in wb_workfn when a device disappears</title>

[ Upstream commit 68f23b89067fdf187763e75a56087550624fdbee ]

Without memcg, there is a one-to-one mapping between the bdi and
bdi_writeback structures.  In this world, things are fairly
straightforward; the first thing bdi_unregister() does is to shutdown
the bdi_writeback structure (or wb), and part of that writeback ensures
that no other work queued against the wb, and that the wb is fully
drained.

With memcg, however, there is a one-to-many relationship between the bdi
and bdi_writeback structures; that is, there are multiple wb objects
which can all point to a single bdi.  There is a refcount which prevents
the bdi object from being released (and hence, unregistered).  So in
theory, the bdi_unregister() *should* only get called once its refcount
goes to zero (bdi_put will drop the refcount, and when it is zero,
release_bdi gets called, which calls bdi_unregister).

Unfortunately, del_gendisk() in block/gen_hd.c never got the memo about
the Brave New memcg World, and calls bdi_unregister directly.  It does
this without informing the file system, or the memcg code, or anything
else.  This causes the root wb associated with the bdi to be
unregistered, but none of the memcg-specific wb's are shutdown.  So when
one of these wb's are woken up to do delayed work, they try to
dereference their wb-&gt;bdi-&gt;dev to fetch the device name, but
unfortunately bdi-&gt;dev is now NULL, thanks to the bdi_unregister()
called by del_gendisk().  As a result, *boom*.

Fortunately, it looks like the rest of the writeback path is perfectly
happy with bdi-&gt;dev and bdi-&gt;owner being NULL, so the simplest fix is to
create a bdi_dev_name() function which can handle bdi-&gt;dev being NULL.
This also allows us to bulletproof the writeback tracepoints to prevent
them from dereferencing a NULL pointer and crashing the kernel if one is
tracing with memcg's enabled, and an iSCSI device dies or a USB storage
stick is pulled.

The most common way of triggering this will be hotremoval of a device
while writeback with memcg enabled is going on.  It was triggering
several times a day in a heavily loaded production environment.

We have a function to copy strings safely and we have a function to copy
strings and zero the tail of the destination (if source string is
shorter than destination buffer) but we do not have a function to do
both at once.  This means developers must write this themselves if they
desire this functionality.  This is a chore, and also leaves us open to
off by one errors unnecessarily.

Add a function that calls strscpy() then memset()s the tail to zero if
the source string is shorter than the destination buffer.

commit 7e0a9220467dbcfdc5bc62825724f3e52e50ab31 upstream.

On some archs, the idle task can call into cpu_suspend(). The cpu_suspend()
will disable or pause function graph tracing, as there's some paths in
bringing down the CPU that can have issues with its return address being
modified. The task_struct structure has a "tracing_graph_pause" atomic
counter, that when set to something other than zero, the function graph
tracer will not modify the return address.

The problem is that the tracing_graph_pause counter is initialized when the
function graph tracer is enabled. This can corrupt the counter for the idle
task if it is suspended in these architectures.

   CPU 1				CPU 2
   -----				-----
  do_idle()
    cpu_suspend()
      pause_graph_tracing()
          task_struct-&gt;tracing_graph_pause++ (0 -&gt; 1)

				start_graph_tracing()
				  for_each_online_cpu(cpu) {
				    ftrace_graph_init_idle_task(cpu)
				      task-struct-&gt;tracing_graph_pause = 0 (1 -&gt; 0)

      unpause_graph_tracing()
          task_struct-&gt;tracing_graph_pause-- (0 -&gt; -1)

The above should have gone from 1 to zero, and enabled function graph
tracing again. But instead, it is set to -1, which keeps it disabled.

There's no reason that the field tracing_graph_pause on the task_struct can
not be initialized at boot up.

<title>mm: hugetlbfs: fix cannot migrate the fallocated HugeTLB page</title>

commit 585fc0d2871c9318c949fbf45b1f081edd489e96 upstream.

If a new hugetlb page is allocated during fallocate it will not be
marked as active (set_page_huge_active) which will result in a later
isolate_huge_page failure when the page migration code would like to
move that page.  Such a failure would be unexpected and wrong.

Only export set_page_huge_active, just leave clear_page_huge_active as
static.  Because there are no external users.

<title>elfcore: fix building with clang</title>

commit 6e7b64b9dd6d96537d816ea07ec26b7dedd397b9 upstream.

kernel/elfcore.c only contains weak symbols, which triggers a bug with
clang in combination with recordmcount:

  Cannot find symbol for section 2: .text.
  kernel/elfcore.o: failed

Move the empty stubs into linux/elfcore.h as inline functions.  As only
two architectures use these, just use the architecture specific Kconfig
symbols to key off the declaration.
