commit 84c91b7ae07c62cf6dee7fde3277f4be21331f85 upstream.

When the machine doesn't well handle the e820 persistent when hibernate
resuming, then it may cause page fault when writing image to snapshot
buffer:

[   17.929495] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff880069d4f000
[   17.933469] IP: [&lt;ffffffff810a1cf0&gt;] load_image_lzo+0x810/0xe40
[   17.933469] PGD 2194067 PUD 77ffff067 PMD 2197067 PTE 0
[   17.933469] Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP
...

The ffff880069d4f000 page is in e820 reserved region of resume boot
kernel:

[    0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000069d4f000-0x0000000069e12fff] reserved
...
[    0.000000] PM: Registered nosave memory: [mem 0x69d4f000-0x69e12fff]

So snapshot.c mark the pfn to forbidden pages map. But, this
page is also in the memory bitmap in snapshot image because it's an
original page used by image kernel, so it will also mark as an
unsafe(free) page in prepare_image().

That means the page in e820 when resuming mark as "forbidden" and
"free", it causes get_buffer() treat it as an allocated unsafe page.
Then snapshot_write_next() return this page to load_image, load_image
writing content to this address, but this page didn't really allocated
. So, we got page fault.

Although the root cause is from BIOS, I think aggressive check and
significant message in kernel will better then a page fault for
issue tracking, especially when serial console unavailable.

This patch adds code in mark_unsafe_pages() for check does free pages in
nosave region. If so, then it print message and return fault to stop whole
S4 resume process:

commit 504d58745c9ca28d33572e2d8a9990b43e06075d upstream.

clockevents_increase_min_delta() calls printk() from under
hrtimer_bases.lock. That causes lock inversion on scheduler locks because
printk() can call into the scheduler. Lockdep puts it as:

Fix the problem by using printk_deferred() which does not call into the
scheduler.

commit 504d58745c9ca28d33572e2d8a9990b43e06075d upstream.

clockevents_increase_min_delta() calls printk() from under
hrtimer_bases.lock. That causes lock inversion on scheduler locks because
printk() can call into the scheduler. Lockdep puts it as:

Fix the problem by using printk_deferred() which does not call into the
scheduler.

<title>printk: rename printk_sched to printk_deferred</title>

commit aac74dc495456412c4130a1167ce4beb6c1f0b38 upstream.

After learning we'll need some sort of deferred printk functionality in
the timekeeping core, Peter suggested we rename the printk_sched function
so it can be reused by needed subsystems.

This only changes the function name. No logic changes.

commit aac74dc495456412c4130a1167ce4beb6c1f0b38 upstream.

After learning we'll need some sort of deferred printk functionality in
the timekeeping core, Peter suggested we rename the printk_sched function
so it can be reused by needed subsystems.

This only changes the function name. No logic changes.

commit 58d4e21e50ff3cc57910a8abc20d7e14375d2f61 upstream.

The "uptime" trace clock added in:

    commit 8aacf017b065a805d27467843490c976835eb4a5
    tracing: Add "uptime" trace clock that uses jiffies

has wraparound problems when the system has been up more
than 1 hour 11 minutes and 34 seconds. It converts jiffies
to nanoseconds using:
        (u64)jiffies_to_usecs(jiffy) * 1000ULL
but since jiffies_to_usecs() only returns a 32-bit value, it
truncates at 2^32 microseconds.  An additional problem on 32-bit
systems is that the argument is "unsigned long", so fixing the
return value only helps until 2^32 jiffies (49.7 days on a HZ=1000
system).

Avoid these problems by using jiffies_64 as our basis, and
not converting to nanoseconds (we do convert to clock_t because
user facing API must not be dependent on internal kernel
HZ values).

commit b0ab99e7736af88b8ac1b7ae50ea287fffa2badc upstream.

proc_sched_show_task() does:

  if (nr_switches)
	do_div(avg_atom, nr_switches);

nr_switches is unsigned long and do_div truncates it to 32 bits, which
means it can test non-zero on e.g. x86-64 and be truncated to zero for
division.

Fix the problem by using div64_ul() instead.

As a side effect calculations of avg_atom for big nr_switches are now correct.

commit 4badad352a6bb202ec68afa7a574c0bb961e5ebc upstream.

The optimistic spin code assumes regular stores and cmpxchg() play nice;
this is found to not be true for at least: parisc, sparc32, tile32,
metag-lock1, arc-!llsc and hexagon.

There is further wreckage, but this in particular seemed easy to
trigger, so blacklist this.

Opt in for known good archs.

<title>PM / sleep: Fix request_firmware() error at resume</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 4320f6b1d9db4ca912c5eb6ecb328b2e090e1586 upstream.

The commit [247bc037: PM / Sleep: Mitigate race between the freezer
and request_firmware()] introduced the finer state control, but it
also leads to a new bug; for example, a bug report regarding the
firmware loading of intel BT device at suspend/resume:
  https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=873790

The root cause seems to be a small window between the process resume
and the clear of usermodehelper lock.  The request_firmware() function
checks the UMH lock and gives up when it's in UMH_DISABLE state.  This
is for avoiding the invalid  f/w loading during suspend/resume phase.
The problem is, however, that usermodehelper_enable() is called at the
end of thaw_processes().  Thus, a thawed process in between can kick
off the f/w loader code path (in this case, via btusb_setup_intel())
even before the call of usermodehelper_enable().  Then
usermodehelper_read_trylock() returns an error and request_firmware()
spews WARN_ON() in the end.

This oneliner patch fixes the issue just by setting to UMH_FREEZING
state again before restarting tasks, so that the call of
request_firmware() will be blocked until the end of this function
instead of returning an error.

commit 16927776ae757d0d132bdbfabbfe2c498342bd59 upstream.

Sharvil noticed with the posix timer_settime interface, using the
CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM or CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM clockid, if the users
tried to specify a relative time timer, it would incorrectly be
treated as absolute regardless of the state of the flags argument.

This patch corrects this, properly checking the absolute/relative flag,
as well as adds further error checking that no invalid flag bits are set.

<title>ring-buffer: Fix polling on trace_pipe</title>

commit 97b8ee845393701edc06e27ccec2876ff9596019 upstream.

ring_buffer_poll_wait() should always put the poll_table to its wait_queue
even there is immediate data available.  Otherwise, the following epoll and
read sequence will eventually hang forever:

1. Put some data to make the trace_pipe ring_buffer read ready first
2. epoll_ctl(efd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, trace_pipe_fd, ee)
3. epoll_wait()
4. read(trace_pipe_fd) till EAGAIN
5. Add some more data to the trace_pipe ring_buffer
6. epoll_wait() -&gt; this epoll_wait() will block forever

~ During the epoll_ctl(efd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD,...) call in step 2,
  ring_buffer_poll_wait() returns immediately without adding poll_table,
  which has poll_table-&gt;_qproc pointing to ep_poll_callback(), to its
  wait_queue.
~ During the epoll_wait() call in step 3 and step 6,
  ring_buffer_poll_wait() cannot add ep_poll_callback() to its wait_queue
  because the poll_table-&gt;_qproc is NULL and it is how epoll works.
~ When there is new data available in step 6, ring_buffer does not know
  it has to call ep_poll_callback() because it is not in its wait queue.
  Hence, block forever.

Other poll implementation seems to call poll_wait() unconditionally as the very
first thing to do.  For example, tcp_poll() in tcp.c.

commit f0160a5a2912267c02cfe692eac955c360de5fdf upstream.

The TRACE_ITER_PRINTK check in __trace_puts/__trace_bputs is missing,
so add it, to be consistent with __trace_printk/__trace_bprintk.
Those functions are all called by the same function: trace_printk().
