2a2047bc94 cifs: sanitize length checking in coalesce_t2 (try #3)
There are a couple of places in this code where these values can wrap or
go negative, and that could potentially end up overflowing the buffer.
Ensure that that doesn't happen. Do all of the length calculation and
checks first, and only perform the memcpy after they pass.

Also, increase some stack variables to 32 bits to ensure that they don't
wrap without being detected.

Finally, change the error codes to be a bit more descriptive of any
problems detected. -EINVAL isn't very accurate.

fcda7f4578 cifs: check for bytes_remaining going to zero in CIFS_SessSetup
It's possible that when we go to decode the string area in the
SESSION_SETUP response, that bytes_remaining will be 0. Decrementing it at
that point will mean that it can go "negative" and wrap. Check for a
bytes_remaining value of 0, and don't try to decode the string area if
that's the case.

bfacf2225a cifs: change bleft in decode_unicode_ssetup back to signed type
The buffer length checks in this function depend on this value being a
signed data type, but 690c522fa converted it to an unsigned type.

Also, eliminate a problem with the null termination check in the same
function. cifs_strndup_from_ucs handles that situation correctly
already, and the existing check could potentially lead to a buffer
overrun since it increments bleft without checking to see whether it
falls off the end of the buffer.

f704a6e25b ARM: kprobes: Reject probing of undefined data processing instructions
The instruction decoding in space_cccc_000x needs to reject probing of
instructions with undefined patterns as they may in future become
defined and then emulated faultily - as has already happened with the
SMC instruction.

This fix is achieved by testing for the instruction patterns we want to
probe and making the the default fall-through paths reject probes. This
also allows us to remove some explicit tests for instructions that we
wish to reject, as that is now the default action.

fa1a03b429 ARM: kprobes: Reject probing of all coprocessor instructions
The kernel doesn't currently support VFP or Neon code, and probing of

don't need the ability to probe coprocessor instructions and the code to

The removed code also had at least two bugs:
 - MRC into R15 should set CPSR not trash PC
 - LDC and STC which use PC as base register needed the address offset by 8

The decoding of these instructions got the register indexed and
immediate indexed forms the wrong way around, causing incorrect

Instructions like "LDRD Rx, [Rx]" were corrupting Rx because the base

register when that form of the instruction is used. Note, now that we
reject probing writeback with PC the emulation code doesn't need the

rather than attempting to fix this we reject probes of these
instructions. We do this because they can never succeed in gaining

monitor when a probes breakpoint is hit. (This is a general problem
when probing all instructions executing between a LDREX and its
corresponding STREX and can lead to infinite retry loops.)

bf69d41d19 flex_arrays: allow zero length flex arrays
Just like kmalloc will allow one to allocate a 0 length segment of memory
flex arrays should do the same thing.  It should bomb if you try to use
something, but it should at least allow the allocation.

This is needed because when SELinux switched to using flex_arrays in 2.6.38
the inability to allocate a 0 length array resulted in SELinux policy load
returning -ENOSPC when previously it worked.

cb1e922fa1 SELinux: pass last path component in may_create
New inodes are created in a two stage process.  We first will compute the
label on a new inode in security_inode_create() and check if the
operation is allowed.  We will then actually re-compute that same label and
apply it in security_inode_init_security().  The change to do new label
calculations based in part on the last component of the path name only
passed the path component information all the way down the
security_inode_init_security hook.  Down the security_inode_create hook the
path information did not make it past may_create.  Thus the two calculations
came up differently and the permissions check might not actually be against
the label that is created.  Pass and use the same information in both places
to harmonize the calculations and checks.

cc03638df2 mm: check if PTE is already allocated during page fault
With transparent hugepage support, handle_mm_fault() has to be careful
that a normal PMD has been established before handling a PTE fault.  To
achieve this, it used __pte_alloc() directly instead of pte_alloc_map as
pte_alloc_map is unsafe to run against a huge PMD.  pte_offset_map() is
called once it is known the PMD is safe.

pte_alloc_map() is smart enough to check if a PTE is already present
before calling __pte_alloc but this check was lost.  As a consequence,
PTEs may be allocated unnecessarily and the page table lock taken.  Thi
useless PTE does get cleaned up but it's a performance hit which is
visible in page_test from aim9.

This patch simply re-adds the check normally done by pte_alloc_map to
check if the PTE needs to be allocated before taking the page table lock.
The effect is noticable in page_test from aim9.

  MMTests Statistics: duration

(While this affects 2.6.38, it is a performance rather than a functional
bug and normally outside the rules -stable.  While the big performance
differences are to a microbench, the difference in fork and exec
performance may be significant enough that -stable wants to consider the
patch)

1409f141ac kernel/watchdog.c: disable nmi perf event in the error path of enabling watchdog
In corner cases where softlockup watchdog is not setup successfully, the
relevant nmi perf event for hardlockup watchdog could be disabled, then
the status of the underlying hardware remains unchanged.

Also, if the kthread doesn't start then the hrtimer won't run and the
hardlockup detector will falsely fire.

534e3adbd2 um: adjust current_thread_info() for newer gcc versions
In some cases gcc >= 4.5.2 will optimize away current_thread_info().  To
prevent gcc from doing so the stack address has to be obtained via inline
asm.

PTE pages eat up memory just like anything else, but we do not account for
them in any way in the OOM scores.  They are also _guaranteed_ to get
freed up when a process is OOM killed, while RSS is not.
