[ Upstream commit 01b41159066531cc8d664362ff0cd89dd137bbfa ]

When cpu_hotplug_enable() is called unbalanced w/o a preceeding
cpu_hotplug_disable() the code emits a warning, but happily decrements the
disabled counter. This causes the next operations to malfunction.

Prevent the decrement and just emit a warning.

[ Upstream commit f6cf0545ec697ddc278b7457b7d0c0d86a2ea88e ]

Some architectures require code written to memory as if it were data to be
'cleaned' from any data caches before the processor can fetch them as new
instructions.

During resume from hibernate, the snapshot code copies some pages directly,
meaning these architectures do not get a chance to perform their cache
maintenance. Modify the read and decompress code to call
flush_icache_range() on all pages that are restored, so that the restored
in-place pages are guaranteed to be executable on these architectures.

[ Upstream commit dcb10a967ce82d5ad20570693091139ae716ff76 ]

When ring buffer's AUX area is unmapped and rb-&gt;aux_mmap_count drops to
zero, new AUX transactions into this buffer can still be started,
even though the buffer in en route to deallocation.

This patch adds a check to perf_aux_output_begin() for rb-&gt;aux_mmap_count
being zero, in which case there is no point starting new transactions,
in other words, the ring buffers that pass a certain point in
perf_mmap_close will not have their events sending new data, which
clears path for freeing those buffers' pages right there and then,
provided that no active transactions are holding the AUX reference.

<title>perf: Synchronously free aux pages in case of allocation failure</title>

[ Upstream commit 45c815f06b80031659c63d7b93e580015d6024dd ]

We are currently using asynchronous deallocation in the error path in
AUX mmap code, which is unnecessary and also presents a problem for users
that wish to probe for the biggest possible buffer size they can get:
they'll get -EINVAL on all subsequent attemts to allocate a smaller
buffer before the asynchronous deallocation callback frees up the pages
from the previous unsuccessful attempt.

Currently, gdb does that for allocating AUX buffers for Intel PT traces.
More specifically, overwrite mode of AUX pmus that don't support hardware
sg (some implementations of Intel PT, for instance) is limited to only
one contiguous high order allocation for its buffer and there is no way
of knowing its size without trying.

This patch changes error path freeing to be synchronous as there won't
be any contenders for the AUX pages at that point.

[ Upstream commit 0eb77e9880321915322d42913c3b53241739c8aa ]

Currently the vmstat updater is not deferrable as a result of commit
ba4877b9ca51 ("vmstat: do not use deferrable delayed work for
vmstat_update").  This in turn can cause multiple interruptions of the
applications because the vmstat updater may run at

Make vmstate_update deferrable again and provide a function that folds
the differentials when the processor is going to idle mode thus
addressing the issue of the above commit in a clean way.

Note that the shepherd thread will continue scanning the differentials
from another processor and will reenable the vmstat workers if it
detects any changes.

[ Upstream commit 0905f04eb21fc1c2e690bed5d0418a061d56c225 ]

If a newly created task is selected to go to a different CPU in fork
balance when it wakes up the first time, its load averages should
not be removed from the source CPU since they are never added to
it before. The same is also applicable to a never used group entity.

Fix it in remove_entity_load_avg(): when entity's last_update_time
is 0, simply return. This should precisely identify the case in
question, because in other migrations, the last_update_time is set
to 0 after remove_entity_load_avg().

commit 71492580571467fb7177aade19c18ce7486267f5 upstream.

Tetsuo Handa had reported he saw an incorrect "downgrading a read lock"
warning right after a previous lockdep warning. It is likely that the
previous warning turned off lock debugging causing the lockdep to have
inconsistency states leading to the lock downgrade warning.

Fix that by add a check for debug_locks at the beginning of
__lock_downgrade().

commit 71492580571467fb7177aade19c18ce7486267f5 upstream.

Tetsuo Handa had reported he saw an incorrect "downgrading a read lock"
warning right after a previous lockdep warning. It is likely that the
previous warning turned off lock debugging causing the lockdep to have
inconsistency states leading to the lock downgrade warning.

Fix that by add a check for debug_locks at the beginning of
__lock_downgrade().

<title>futex: Ensure that futex address is aligned in handle_futex_death()</title>

commit 5a07168d8d89b00fe1760120714378175b3ef992 upstream.

The futex code requires that the user space addresses of futexes are 32bit
aligned. sys_futex() checks this in futex_get_keys() but the robust list
code has no alignment check in place.

As a consequence the kernel crashes on architectures with strict alignment
requirements in handle_futex_death() when trying to cmpxchg() on an
unaligned futex address which was retrieved from the robust list.

[ tglx: Rewrote changelog, proper sizeof() based alignement check and add
  	comment ]

<title>rcu: Do RCU GP kthread self-wakeup from softirq and interrupt</title>

commit 1d1f898df6586c5ea9aeaf349f13089c6fa37903 upstream.

The rcu_gp_kthread_wake() function is invoked when it might be necessary
to wake the RCU grace-period kthread.  Because self-wakeups are normally
a useless waste of CPU cycles, if rcu_gp_kthread_wake() is invoked from
this kthread, it naturally refuses to do the wakeup.

Unfortunately, natural though it might be, this heuristic fails when
rcu_gp_kthread_wake() is invoked from an interrupt or softirq handler
that interrupted the grace-period kthread just after the final check of
the wait-event condition but just before the schedule() call.  In this
case, a wakeup is required, even though the call to rcu_gp_kthread_wake()
is within the RCU grace-period kthread's context.  Failing to provide
this wakeup can result in grace periods failing to start, which in turn
results in out-of-memory conditions.

This race window is quite narrow, but it actually did happen during real
testing.  It would of course need to be fixed even if it was strictly
theoretical in nature.

This patch does not Cc stable because it does not apply cleanly to
earlier kernel versions.

commit 8cf7630b29701d364f8df4a50e4f1f5e752b2778 upstream.

This bug has apparently existed since the introduction of this function
in the pre-git era (4500e91754d3 in Thomas Gleixner's history.git,
"[NET]: Add proc_dointvec_userhz_jiffies, use it for proper handling of
neighbour sysctls.").

As a minimal fix we can simply duplicate the corresponding check in
do_proc_dointvec_conv().
