Rather than #define the options manually in the architecture code, add Kconfig options for them and select them there instead. This also allows us to select the compat IPC version parsing automatically for platforms using the old compat IPC interface. Reported-by:

The msgsnd and msgrcv system calls use size_t to represent the size of the message being transferred. POSIX states that values of msgsz greater than SSIZE_MAX cause the result to be implementation-defined. On Linux, this equates to returning -EINVAL if (long) msgsz < 0. For compat tasks where !CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC and compat_size_t is smaller than size_t, negative size values passed from userspace will be interpreted as positive values by do_msg{rcv,snd} and will fail to exit early with -EINVAL. This patch changes the compat prototypes for msg{rcv,snd} so that the message size is represented as a compat_ssize_t, which we cast to the native ssize_t type for the core IPC code.

Commit 48b25c43 ("ipc: provide generic compat versions of IPC syscalls") added a new ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC config option for architectures to select if their compat target requires the old IPC syscall interface. For architectures (such as AArch64) that do not require the internal calling conventions provided by this option, but have a compat target where the C library passes the IPC_64 flag explicitly, compat_ipc_parse_version no longer strips out the flag before calling the native system call implementation, resulting in unknown SHM/IPC commands and -EINVAL being returned to userspace. This patch separates the selection of the internal calling conventions for the IPC syscalls from the version parsing, allowing architectures to select __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_IPC_PARSE_VERSION if they want to use version parsing whilst retaining the newer syscall calling conventions.

If the SHMLBA definition for a native task differs from the definition for a compat task, the do_shmat() function would need to handle both. This patch introduces COMPAT_SHMLBA, which is used by the compat shmat syscall when calling the ipc code and allows architectures such as AArch64 (where the native SHMLBA is 64k but the compat (AArch32) definition is 16k) to provide the correct semantics for compat IPC system calls.

On the suspend/resume path the boot CPU does not go though an offline->online transition. This breaks the NMI detector post-resume since it depends on PMU state that is lost when the system gets suspended. Fix this by forcing a CPU offline->online transition for the lockup detector on the boot CPU during resume. To provide more context, we enable NMI watchdog on Chrome OS. We have seen several reports of systems freezing up completely which indicated that the NMI watchdog was not firing for some reason. Debugging further, we found a simple way of repro'ing system freezes -- issuing the command 'tasket 1 sh -c "echo nmilockup > /proc/breakme"' after the system has been suspended/resumed one or more times. With this patch in place, the system freeze result in panics, as expected. These panics provide a nice stack trace for us to debug the actual issue causing the freeze.

Many drivers are shared between architectures that may or may not have HAVE_CLK selected for them. To remove compilation errors for them we enclose clk_*() calls in these drivers within #ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_CLK, #endif. This patch removes the need of these CONFIG_HAVE_CLK statements, by introducing dummy routines when HAVE_CLK is not selected by platforms. So, definition of these routines will always be available. These calls will return error for platforms that don't select HAVE_CLK. Signed-off-by:

Recently, glibc made a change to suppress sign-conversion warnings in FD_SET (glibc commit ceb9e56b3d1). This uncovered an issue with the kernel's definition of __NFDBITS if applications #include <linux/types.h> after including <sys/select.h>. A build failure would be seen when passing the -Werror=sign-compare and -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 flags to gcc. It was suggested that the kernel should either match the glibc definition of __NFDBITS or remove that entirely. The current in-kernel uses of __NFDBITS can be replaced with BITS_PER_LONG, and there are no uses of the related __FDELT and __FDMASK defines. Given that, we'll continue the cleanup that was started with commit 8b3d1cda ("posix_types: Remove fd_set macros") and drop the remaining unused macros. Additionally, linux/time.h has similar macros defined that expand to nothing so we'll remove those at the same time. Reported-by:

Stefan reported a crash on a kernel before a3e5d109 ("sched: Don't call task_group() too many times in set_task_rq()"), he found the reason to be that the multiple task_group() invocations in set_task_rq() returned different values. Looking at all that I found a lack of serialization and plain wrong comments. The below tries to fix it using an extra pointer which is updated under the appropriate scheduler locks. Its not pretty, but I can't really see another way given how all the cgroup stuff works. Reported-and-tested-by:

Traversing an entire package is not only expensive, it also leads to tasks bouncing all over a partially idle and possible quite large package. Fix that up by assigning a 'buddy' CPU to try to motivate. Each buddy may try to motivate that one other CPU, if it's busy, tough, it may then try its SMT sibling, but that's all this optimization is allowed to cost.

Separate out the cpuset related handling for CPU/Memory online/offline. This also helps us exploit the most obvious and basic level of optimization that any notification mechanism (CPU/Mem online/offline) has to offer us: "We *know* why we have been invoked. So stop pretending that we are lost, and do only the necessary amount of processing!". And while at it, rename scan_for_empty_cpusets() to scan_cpusets_upon_hotplug(), which is more appropriate considering how it is restructured. Signed-off-by:

Add two new functions, led_blink_set_oneshot and led_trigger_blink_oneshot, to be used by triggers for one-shot blink of led devices. This is implemented extending the existing software-blink code, and uses the same timer and handler function. The behavior of the code is to do a blink-on, blink-off sequence when the function is called, ignoring other calls until the sequence is completed so that the leds keep blinking at constant rate if the functions are called repeatedly. This is meant to be used by drivers which needs to trigger on sporadic event, but doesn't have clear busy/idle trigger points. After the blink sequence the led remains off. This behavior can be inverted setting the "invert" argument, which blink the led off, than on and leave the led on after the sequence.

ICMP messages generated in output path if frame length is bigger than mtu are actually lost because socket is owned by user (doing the xmit) One example is the ipgre_tunnel_xmit() calling icmp_send(skb, ICMP_DEST_UNREACH, ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED, htonl(mtu)); We had a similar case fixed in commit a34a101e (ipv6: disable GSO on sockets hitting dst_allfrag). Problem of such fix is that it relied on retransmit timers, so short tcp sessions paid a too big latency increase price. This patch uses the tcp_release_cb() infrastructure so that MTU reduction messages (ICMP messages) are not lost, and no extra delay is added in TCP transmits. Reported-by:

For ext3/4 htree directories, using the vfs llseek function with SEEK_END goes to i_size like for any other file, but in reality we want the maximum possible hash value. Recent changes in ext4 have cut & pasted generic_file_llseek() back into fs/ext4/dir.c, but replicating this core code seems like a bad idea, especially since the copy has already diverged from the vfs. This patch updates generic_file_llseek_size to accept both a custom maximum offset, and a custom EOF position. With this in place, ext4_dir_llseek can pass in the appropriate maximum hash position for both maxsize and eof, and get what it wants. As far as I know, this does not fix any bugs - nfs in the kernel doesn't use SEEK_END, and I don't know of any user who does. But some ext4 folks seem keen on doing the right thing here, and I can't really argue. (Patch also fixes up some comments slightly) Signed-off-by:
