This reverts commit 6aa9707099c4b25700940eb3d016f16c4434360d.

Commit 6aa9707099c4 ("lockdep: check that no locks held at freeze time")
causes problems with NFS root filesystems.  The failures were noticed on
OMAP2 and 3 boards during kernel init:

  [ BUG: swapper/0/1 still has locks held! ]

Deal with this for v3.9 by reverting the problem commit, until folks can
figure out the right long-term course of action.

This reverts commit 186930500985 ("mm: introduce VM_POPULATE flag to
better deal with racy userspace programs").

VM_POPULATE only has any effect when userspace plays racy games with
vmas by trying to unmap and remap memory regions that mmap or mlock are
operating on.

Also, the only effect of VM_POPULATE when userspace plays such games is
that it avoids populating new memory regions that get remapped into the
address range that was being operated on by the original mmap or mlock
calls.

Let's remove VM_POPULATE as there isn't any strong argument to mandate a
new vm_flag.

Only allow unprivileged mounts of proc and sysfs if they are already
mounted when the user namespace is created.

proc and sysfs are interesting because they have content that is
per namespace, and so fresh mounts are needed when new namespaces
are created while at the same time proc and sysfs have content that
is shared between every instance.

Respect the policy of who may see the shared content of proc and sysfs
by only allowing new mounts if there was an existing mount at the time
the user namespace was created.

In practice there are only two interesting cases: proc and sysfs are
mounted at their usual places, proc and sysfs are not mounted at all
(some form of mount namespace jail).

When a read-only bind mount is copied from mount namespace in a higher
privileged user namespace to a mount namespace in a lesser privileged
user namespace, it should not be possible to remove the the read-only
restriction.

Add a MNT_LOCK_READONLY mount flag to indicate that a mount must
remain read-only.

Guarantee that the policy of which files may be access that is
established by setting the root directory will not be violated
by user namespaces by verifying that the root directory points
to the root of the mount namespace at the time of user namespace
creation.

Changing the root is a privileged operation, and as a matter of policy
it serves to limit unprivileged processes to files below the current
root directory.

For reasons of simplicity and comprehensibility the privilege to
change the root directory is gated solely on the CAP_SYS_CHROOT
capability in the user namespace.  Therefore when creating a user
namespace we must ensure that the policy of which files may be access
can not be violated by changing the root directory.

Anyone who runs a processes in a chroot and would like to use user
namespace can setup the same view of filesystems with a mount
namespace instead.  With this result that this is not a practical
limitation for using user namespaces.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Always increment IPV4 ID field in encapsulated GSO packets, even
    when DF is set.  Regression fix from Pravin B Shelar.

 2) Fix per-net subsystem initialization in netfilter conntrack,
    otherwise we may access dynamically allocated memory before it is
    actually allocated.  From Gao Feng.

 3) Fix DMA buffer lengths in iwl3945 driver, from Stanislaw Gruszka.

 4) Fix race between submission of sync vs async commands in mwifiex
    driver, from Amitkumar Karwar.

 5) Add missing cancel of command timer in mwifiex driver, from Bing
    Zhao.

 6) Missing SKB free in rtlwifi USB driver, from Jussi Kivilinna.

 7) Thermal layer tries to use a genetlink multicast string that is
    longer than the 16 character limit.  Fix it and add a BUG check to
    prevent this kind of thing from happening in the future.

 From Masatake YAMATO.

 8) Fix many bugs in the handling of the teardown of L2TP connections,
    UDP encapsulation instances, and sockets.  From Tom Parkin.

 9) Missing socket release in IRDA, from Kees Cook.

10) Fix fec driver modular build, from Fabio Estevam.

11) Erroneous use of kfree() instead of free_netdev() in lantiq_etop,
    from Wei Yongjun.

12) Fix bugs in handling of queue numbers and steering rules in mlx4
    driver, from Moshe Lazer, Hadar Hen Zion, and Or Gerlitz.

13) Some FOO_DIAG_MAX constants were defined off by one, fix from Andrey
    Vagin.

14) TCP segmentation deferral is unintentionally done too strongly,
    breaking ACK clocking.  Fix from Eric Dumazet.

15) net_enable_timestamp() can legitimately be invoked from software
    interrupts, and in a way that is safe, so remove the WARN_ON().
    Also from Eric Dumazet.

16) Fix use after free in VLANs, from Cong Wang.

17) Fix TCP slow start retransmit storms after SACK reneging, from
    Yuchung Cheng.

18) Unix socket release should mark a socket dead before NULL'ing out
    sock-&gt;sk, otherwise we can race.  Fix from Paul Moore.

19) IPV6 addrconf code can try to free static memory, from Hong Zhiguo.

20) Fix register mis-programming, NULL pointer derefs, and wrong PHC
    clock frequency in IGB driver.  From Lior LevyAlex Williamson, Jiri
    Benc, and Jeff Kirsher.

21) skb-&gt;ip_summed logic in pch_gbe driver is reversed, breaking packet
    forwarding.  Fix from Veaceslav Falico.

<title>usb: add find_raw_port_number callback to struct hc_driver()</title>

<content type='text'>
xhci driver divides the root hub into two logical hubs which work
respectively for usb 2.0 and usb 3.0 devices. They are independent
devices in the usb core. But in the ACPI table, it's one device node
and all usb2.0 and usb3.0 ports are under it. Binding usb port with
its acpi node needs the raw port number which is reflected in the xhci
extended capabilities table. This patch is to add find_raw_port_number
callback to struct hc_driver(), fill it with xhci_find_raw_port_number()
which will return raw port number and add a wrap usb_hcd_find_raw_port_number().

Otherwise, refactor xhci_find_real_port_number(). Using
xhci_find_raw_port_number() to get real index in the HW port status
registers instead of scanning through the xHCI roothub port array.
This can help to speed up.

All addresses in xhci-&gt;usb2_ports and xhci-&gt;usb3_ports array are
kown good ports and don't include following bad ports in the extended
capabilities talbe.
     (1) root port that doesn't have an entry
     (2) root port with unknown speed
     (3) root port that is listed twice and with different speeds.

So xhci_find_raw_port_number() will only return port num of good ones
and never touch bad ports above.
