Anders Kaseorg b614a697dc kbuild, modpost: Check the section flags, to catch missing "ax"/"aw"
When you put
  .section ".foo"
in an assembly file instead of
  .section "foo", "ax"
, one of the possible symptoms is that modpost will see an
ld-generated section name ".foo.1" in section_rel() or section_rela().
But this heuristic has two problems: it will miss a bad section that
has no relocations, and it will incorrectly flag many gcc-generated
sections as bad when compiling with -ffunction-sections
-fdata-sections.

On mips it fixes a lot of bogus warnings with gcc 4.4.0 lije this one:
WARNING: crypto/cryptd.o (.text.T.349): unexpected section name.

So instead of checking whether the section name matches a particular
pattern, we directly check for a missing SHF_ALLOC in the section
flags.

Nico Schottelius a182ad3d0f kbuild: fix scripts/setlocalversion with git
When using trees like wireless-testing, which have untagged tags,
scripts/setlocalversion does not display any git indication for
localversion.

This patch fixes it: If git is available, but no usable tag is found,
it uses -g${head}. It skips the detection of unanottated tags via
git name-rev.

Cedric Hombourger 99e3a1eb3c kbuild: fix Module.markers permission error under cygwin
While building the kernel, we end-up calling modpost with -K and -M
options for the same file (Modules.markers).  This is resulting in
modpost's main function calling read_markers() and then write_markers() on
the same file.

We then have read_markers() mmap'ing the file, and writer_markers()
opening that same file for writing.

The issue is that read_markers() exits without munmap'ing the file and is
as a matter holding a reference on Modules.markers.  When write_markers()
is opening that very same file for writing, we still have a reference on
it and cygwin (Windows?) is then making fopen() fail with EPERM.

Calling release_file() before exiting read_markers() clears that reference
(and memory leak) and fopen() then succeeds.

Tested on both cygwin (1.3.22) and Linux.  Also ran modpost within
valgrind on Linux to make sure that the munmap'ed file was not accessed
after read_markers()

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 0203d6ec4e powerpc: Fix setting of oprofile cpu type
commit 2657dd4e30 introduced a
bug where we would now always override the "real" oprofile CPU
type with the "compatible" one provided by a pseudo-PVR in the

configs since the "compatible" ones aren't yet recognized.

Oprofile is changing the naming it is using for the compatibility modes.
Instead of having compat-power<x>, oprofile will go to family naming

The notion of compatibility events just started with POWER6. So there is

Jeff Layton 18295796a3 cifs: fix length handling in cifs_get_name_from_search_buf
The earlier patch to move this code to use the new unicode helpers
assumed that the filename strings would be null terminated. That's not
always the case.

Instead of passing "max_len" to the string converter, pass "min(len,
max_len)", which makes it do the right thing while still keeping the
parser confined to the response. Also fix up the prototypes of this
function and the callers so that max_len is unsigned (like len is).

Joel Becker dfa13f39b7 ocfs2: Fix a missing credit when deleting from indexed directories.
The ocfs2 directory index updates two blocks when we remove an entry -
the dx root and the dx leaf.  OCFS2_DELETE_INODE_CREDITS was only
accounting for the dx leaf.  This shows up when ocfs2_delete_inode()
runs out of credits in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() at
"J_ASSERT_JH(jh, handle->h_buffer_credits > 0);".

The test that caught this was running dirop_file_racer from the
ocfs2-test suite with a 250-character filename PREFIX.  Run on a 512B
blocksize, it forces the orphan dir index to grow large enough to
trigger.

Steve French 20418acd68 [CIFS] Remove older session setup implementation
Two years ago, when the session setup code in cifs was rewritten and moved
to fs/cifs/sess.c, we were asked to keep the old code for a release or so
(which could be reenabled at runtime) since it was such a large change and
because the asn (SPNEGO) and NTLMSSP code was not rewritten and needed to
be. This was useful to avoid regressions, but is long overdue to be removed.
Now that the Kerberos (asn/spnego) code is working in fs/cifs/sess.c,
and the NTLMSSP code moved (NTLMSSP blob setup be rewritten with the
next patch in this series) quite a bit of dead code from fs/cifs/connect.c
now can be removed.

This old code should have been removed last year, but the earlier krb5
patches did not move/remove the NTLMSSP code which we had asked to
be done first.  Since no one else volunteered, I am doing it now.

It is extremely important that we continue to examine the documentation
for this area, to make sure our code continues to be uptodate with
changes since Windows 2003.

John Wright 2f65dd475c x86: gettimeofday() vDSO: fix segfault when tv == NULL
According to the gettimeofday(2) manual:

       If either tv or tz is NULL, the corresponding structure is not
       set or returned.

Since it is legal to give NULL as the tv argument, the code should make
sure tv is not NULL before trying to dereference it.

This issue manifests itself on x86_64 when vdso=0 is not on the kernel
command-line and libc uses the vDSO for gettimeofday() (e.g. glibc >=
2.7).  A simple reproducer:

  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <sys/time.h>

  int main(void)
  {
      struct timezone tz;

      gettimeofday(NULL, &tz);

      return 0;
  }

Christoph Hellwig 28e211700a xfs: fix getbmap vs mmap deadlock
xfs_getbmap (or rather the formatters called by it) copy out the getbmap
structures under the ilock, which can deadlock against mmap.  This has
been reported via bugzilla a while ago (#717) and has recently also
shown up via lockdep.

So allocate a temporary buffer to format the kernel getbmap structures
into and then copy them out after dropping the locks.

A little problem with this is that we limit the number of extents we
can copy out by the maximum allocation size, but I see no real way
around that.

The problem here is that xfs_file_last_byte() does not acquire the
inode lock and can therefore race with another thread that is modifying
the extext list.  While xfs_bmap_last_offset() is trying to lookup
what was the last extent some extents were merged and the extent list
shrunk so the index we lookup is now beyond the end of the extent list
and potentially in a freed buffer.

Lennert Buytenhek 93af7aca44 mv643xx_eth: 64bit mib counter read fix
On several mv643xx_eth hardware versions, the two 64bit mib counters
for 'good octets received' and 'good octets sent' are actually 32bit
counters, and reading from the upper half of the register has the same
effect as reading from the lower half of the register: an atomic
read-and-clear of the entire 32bit counter value.  This can under heavy
traffic occasionally lead to small numbers being added to the upper
half of the 64bit mib counter even though no 32bit wrap has occured.

Since we poll the mib counters at least every 30 seconds anyway, we
might as well just skip the reads of the upper halves of the hardware
counters without breaking the stats, which this patch does.
