When caching locks due to holding a file delegation, we must always
 check against local locks before sending anything to the server.

David Gibson 9a94c5793a [PATCH] powerpc: More hugepage boundary case fixes
Blah.  The patch [0] I recently sent fixing errors with
in_hugepage_area() and prepare_hugepage_range() for powerpc itself has
an off-by-one bug.  Furthermore, the related functions
touches_hugepage_*_range() and within_hugepage_*_range() are also
buggy.  Some of the bugs, like those addressed in [0] originated with
commit 7d24f0b8a5 where we tweaked the
semantics of where hugepages are allowed.  Other bugs have been there
essentially forever, and are due to the undefined behaviour of '<<'
with shift counts greater than the type width (LOW_ESID_MASK could
return non-zero for high ranges with the right congruences).

The good news is that I now have a testsuite which should pick up
things like this if they creep in again.

Thanks for the pointer, and yes, it is harmless, but it floods the

David Brownell 21b1861fb2 [PATCH] USB: ohci, move ppc asic tweaks nearer pci
This should fix a suspend/resume issues that appear with OHCI on some
PPC hardware.  The PCI layer should doesn't have the hooks needed for
such ASIC-specific hooks (in this case, software clock gating), so
this moves the code to do that into hcd-pci.c ... where it can be
done after the relevant PCI PM state transition (to/from D3).

David Brownell 188075211c [PATCH] USB: EHCI updates split init/reinit logic for resume
Moving the PCI-specific parts of the EHCI driver into their own file
created a few issues ... notably on resume paths which (like swsusp)
require re-initializing the controller.  This patch:

 - Splits the EHCI startup code into run-once HCD setup code and
   separate "init the hardware" reinit code.  (That reinit code is
   a superset of the "early usb handoff" code.)

 - Then it makes the PCI init code run both, and the resume code only
   run the reinit code.

 - It also removes needless pci wrappers around EHCI start/stop methods.

 - Removes a byteswap issue that would be seen on big-endian hardware.

The HCD glue still doesn't actually provide a good way to do all this
run-one init stuff in one place though.

This cleans up the recent updates to EHCI PCI support:

  - Gets rid of checks for "is this a PCI device", they're no
    longer needed since this is now all PCI-only code.

  - Reduce log spamming:  MWI is only interesting in the atypical
    case that it can actually be used.

  - Whitespace cleanup, as appropriate for a new file with no
    other pending patches.

So other than that minor logging change, no functional updates.

David Brownell f03c17fc9a [PATCH] USB: EHCI updates
This fixes some bugs in EHCI suspend/resume that joined us over the past
few releases (as usbcore, PCI, pmcore, and other components evolved):

  - Removes suspend and resume recursion from the EHCI driver, getting
    rid of the USB_SUSPEND special casing.

  - Updates the wakeup mechanism to work again; there's a newish usbcore
    call it needs to use.

  - Provide simpler tests for "do we need to restart from scratch", to
    address another case where PCI Vaux was lost.  (In this case it was
    restoring a swsusp snapshot, but there could be others.)

Un-exports a symbol that was temporarily exported.

A notable change from previous version is that this doesn't move
the spinlock init, so there's still a resume/reinit path bug.

Rajesh Shah ed6d14f976 [PATCH] PCI: remove bogus resource collision error
When attempting to hotadd a PCI card with a bridge on it, I saw
the kernel reporting resource collision errors even when there were
really no collisions. The problem is that the code doesn't skip
over "invalid" resources with their resource type flag not set.
Others have reported similar problems at boot time and for
non-bridge PCI card hotplug too, where the code flags a
resource collision for disabled ROMs. This patch fixes both
problems.

David Gibson 5e391dc9e3 [PATCH] powerpc: fix for hugepage areas straddling 4GB boundary
Commit 7d24f0b8a5 fixed bugs in the ppc64 SLB
miss handler with respect to hugepage handling, and in the process tweaked
the semantics of the hugepage address masks in mm_context_t.

Unfortunately, it left out a couple of necessary changes to go with that
change.  First, the in_hugepage_area() macro was not updated to match,
second prepare_hugepage_range() was not updated to correctly handle
hugepages regions which straddled the 4GB point.

The latter appears only to cause process-hangs when attempting to map such
a region, but the former can cause oopses if a get_user_pages() is
triggered at the wrong point.  This patch addresses both bugs.

If unregister_console() is inadvertently called while no consoles are
registered, it will crash trying to dereference NULL pointer.  It is
necessary to fix that because register_console() provides no indication
that it actually registered the console passed in.  In fact, it may well
decide not to register it based on various things...

(akpm: It'd be better to make register_console() return something and fix the
callers.  All 106 of them...)

Oleg Nesterov 962b564cf1 [PATCH] fix do_wait() vs exec() race
When non-leader thread does exec, de_thread adds old leader to the init's
->children list in EXIT_ZOMBIE state and drops tasklist_lock.

This means that release_task(leader) in de_thread() is racy vs do_wait()
from init task.

I think de_thread() should set old leader's state to EXIT_DEAD instead.

Jim Keniston 8bf1101bd5 [PATCH] kprobes: Fix return probes on sys_execve
Fix a bug in kprobes that can cause an Oops or even a crash when a return
probe is installed on one of the following functions: sys_execve,
do_execve, load_*_binary, flush_old_exec, or flush_thread.  The fix is to
remove the call to kprobe_flush_task() in flush_thread().  This fix has
been tested on all architectures for which the return-probes feature has
been implemented (i386, x86_64, ppc64, ia64).  Please apply.

BACKGROUND

Up to now, we have called kprobe_flush_task() under two situations: when a
task exits, and when it execs.  Flushing kretprobe_instances on exit is
correct because (a) do_exit() doesn't return, and (b) one or more
return-probed functions may be active when a task calls do_exit().  Neither
is the case for sys_execve() and its callees.

Initially, the mistaken call to kprobe_flush_task() on exec was harmless
because we put the "real" return address of each active probed function
back in the stack, just to be safe, when we recycled its
kretprobe_instance.  When support for ppc64 and ia64 was added, this safety
measure couldn't be employed, and was eventually dropped even for i386 and
x86_64.  sys_execve() and its callees were informally blacklisted for
return probes until this fix was developed.

Hugh Dickins 7c72aaf296 [PATCH] mm: fill arch atomic64 gaps
alpha, sparc64, x86_64 are each missing some primitives from their atomic64
support: fill in the gaps I've noticed by extrapolating asm, follow the
groupings in each file.  But powerpc and parisc still lack atomic64.

Restore an earlier mod which went missing in the powerpc reshuffle: the 4xx
mmu_mapin_ram does not need to take init_mm.page_table_lock.

Hugh Dickins 01edcd891c [PATCH] mm: powerpc ptlock comments
Update comments (only) on page_table_lock and mmap_sem in arch/powerpc.
Removed the comment on page_table_lock from hash_huge_page: since it's no
longer taking page_table_lock itself, it's irrelevant whether others are; but
how it is safe (even against huge file truncation?) I can't say.

Hugh Dickins cc3327e7df [PATCH] mm: unbloat get_futex_key
The follow_page changes in get_futex_key have left it with two almost
identical blocks, when handling the rare case of a futex in a nonlinear vma.
get_user_pages will itself do that follow_page, and its additional
find_extend_vma is hardly any overhead since the vma is already cached.  Let's
just delete the follow_page block and let get_user_pages do it.
