Tim Hockin bd78432c8f x86_64: mcelog tolerant level cleanup
Background:
 The MCE handler has several paths that it can take, depending on various
 conditions of the MCE status and the value of the 'tolerant' knob.  The
 exact semantics are not well defined and the code is a bit twisty.

Description:
 This patch makes the MCE handler's behavior more clear by documenting the
 behavior for various 'tolerant' levels.  It also fixes or enhances
 several small things in the handler.  Specifically:
     * If RIPV is set it is not safe to restart, so set the 'no way out'
       flag rather than the 'kill it' flag.
     * Don't panic() on correctable MCEs.
     * If the _OVER bit is set *and* the _UC bit is set (meaning possibly
       dropped uncorrected errors), set the 'no way out' flag.
     * Use EIPV for testing whether an app can be killed (SIGBUS) rather
       than RIPV.  According to docs, EIPV indicates that the error is
       related to the IP, while RIPV simply means the IP is valid to
       restart from.
     * Don't clear the MCi_STATUS registers until after the panic() path.
       This leaves the status bits set after the panic() so clever BIOSes
       can find them (and dumb BIOSes can do nothing).

 This patch also calls nonseekable_open() in mce_open (as suggested by akpm).

Result:
 Tolerant levels behave almost identically to how they always have, but
 not it's well defined.  There's a slightly higher chance of panic()ing
 when multiple errors happen (a good thing, IMHO).  If you take an MBE and
 panic(), the error status bits are not cleared.

Alternatives:
 None.

Testing:
 I used software to inject correctable and uncorrectable errors.  With
 tolerant = 3, the system usually survives.  With tolerant = 2, the system
 usually panic()s (PCC) but not always.  With tolerant = 1, the system
 always panic()s.  When the system panic()s, the BIOS is able to detect
 that the cause of death was an MC4.  I was not able to reproduce the
 case of a non-PCC error in userspace, with EIPV, with (tolerant < 3).
 That will be rare at best.

Andi Kleen 2aae950b21 x86_64: Add vDSO for x86-64 with gettimeofday/clock_gettime/getcpu
This implements new vDSO for x86-64.  The concept is similar
to the existing vDSOs on i386 and PPC.  x86-64 has had static
vsyscalls before,  but these are not flexible enough anymore.

A vDSO is a ELF shared library supplied by the kernel that is mapped into
user address space.  The vDSO mapping is randomized for each process
for security reasons.

Doing this was needed for clock_gettime, because clock_gettime
always needs a syscall fallback and having one at a fixed
address would have made buffer overflow exploits too easy to write.

The vdso can be disabled with vdso=0

It currently includes a new gettimeofday implemention and optimized
clock_gettime(). The gettimeofday implementation is slightly faster
than the one in the old vsyscall.  clock_gettime is significantly faster
than the syscall for CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_REALTIME.

The new calls are generally faster than the old vsyscall.

Advantages over the old x86-64 vsyscalls:
- Extensible
- Randomized
- Cleaner
- Easier to virtualize (the old static address range previously causes
overhead e.g. for Xen because it has to create special page tables for it)

Weak points:
- glibc support still to be written

The VM interface is partly based on Ingo Molnar's i386 version.

Includes compile fix from Joachim Deguara

Jean Delvare 7817a39e65 hwmon: Fault files naming convention
We have the following naming convention documented in
Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface for fault files:

in[0-*]_input_fault
fan[1-*]_input_fault
temp[1-*]_input_fault

Some drivers follow this convention (lm63, lm83, lm90, smsc47m192).
However some drivers omit the "input" part and create files named
fan1_fault (pc87427) or temp1_fault (dme1737). And the new "generic"
libsensors follows this second (non-standard) convention, so it fails
to report fault conditions for drivers which follow the standard.

We want a single naming scheme, and everyone seems to prefer the
shorter variant, so let's go for it.

Andy Whitcroft f0a594c1c7 update checkpatch.pl to version 0.08
This version brings a number of new checks, and a number of bug
fixes.  Of note:

  - warnings for multiple assignments per line
  - warnings for multiple declarations per line
  - checks for single statement blocks with braces

This patch includes an update for feature-removal-schedule.txt to
better target checks.

Andy Whitcroft (12):
      Version: 0.08
      only apply printk checks where there is a string literal
      allow suppression of errors for when no patch is found
      warn about multiple assignments
      warn on declaration of multiple variables
      check for kfree() with needless null check
      check for single statement braced blocks
      check for aggregate initialisation on the next line
      handle the => operator
      check for spaces between function name and open parenthesis
      move to explicit Check: entries in feature-removal-schedule.txt
      handle pointer attributes

Peter Zijlstra bdf4c48af2 audit: rework execve audit
The purpose of audit_bprm() is to log the argv array to a userspace daemon at
the end of the execve system call.  Since user-space hasn't had time to run,
this array is still in pristine state on the process' stack; so no need to
copy it, we can just grab it from there.

In order to minimize the damage to audit_log_*() copy each string into a
temporary kernel buffer first.

Currently the audit code requires that the full argument vector fits in a
single packet.  So currently it does clip the argv size to a (sysctl) limit,
but only when execve auditing is enabled.

If the audit protocol gets extended to allow for multiple packets this check
can be removed.

Michael Ellerman 9e367d8592 jprobes: remove JPROBE_ENTRY()
AFAICT now that jprobe.entry is a void *, JPROBE_ENTRY doesn't do anything
useful - so remove it ..

I've left a do-nothing version so that out-of-tree jprobes code will still
compile without modifications.

David Brownell a0a9983509 gpio calls don't need i/o barriers
Clarify that drivers using the GPIO operations don't need to issue io
barrier instructions themselves.  Previously this wasn't clear, and at
least one platform assumed otherwise (and would thus break various
otherwise-portable drivers which don't issue barriers).

Rafael J. Wysocki b10d911749 PM: introduce hibernation and suspend notifiers
Make it possible to register hibernation and suspend notifiers, so that
subsystems can perform hibernation-related or suspend-related operations that
should not be carried out by device drivers' .suspend() and .resume()
routines.
