d5b562330e mm: fix error case in mlock downgrade reversion
Commit 27421e211a, Manually revert
"mlock: downgrade mmap sem while populating mlocked regions", has
introduced its own regression: __mlock_vma_pages_range() may report
an error (for example, -EFAULT from trying to lock down pages from
beyond EOF), but mlock_vma_pages_range() must hide that from its
callers as before.

1fb25cb8b8 radeonfb: Fix resume from D3Cold on some platforms
For historical reason, this driver used its own saving/restoring
of the PCI config space, and used the state of it on resume as
an indication as to whether it needed to re-POST the chip or not.

This methods breaks with the later core changes since the core will
have restored things for us.

This patch fixes it by removing that custom code, using standard
core methods to save/restore state, and testing for the need to
re-POST by comparing the content of a few key PLL registers.

b746bb7762 aty128fb: Properly save PCI state before changing PCI PM level
This fixes aty128fb to properly save the PCI config space -before- it
potentially switches the PM state of the chip. This avoids a
warning with the new PM core and is the right thing to do anyway.

I also replaced the hand-coded switch to D2 with a call to the
genericc pci_set_power_state() and removed the code that switches it
back to D0 since the generic code is doing that for us nowadays.

Impact: fix spurious BUG_ON() triggered under load

module_refcount() isn't reliable outside stop_machine(), as demonstrated
by Karsten Keil <kkeil@suse.de>, networking can trigger it under load
(an inc on one cpu and dec on another while module_refcount() is tallying
 can give false results, for example).

Almost noone should be using __module_get, but that's another issue.

386e4a8358 ACPICA: Fix table entry truncation calculation
During early boot, ACPI RSDT/XSDT table entries are gathered into the
'initial_tables[]' array.  This array is currently statically defined (see
./drivers/acpi/tables.c).  When there are more table entries than can be
held in the 'initial_tables[]' array, the message "Truncating N table
entries!" is output.  As currently implemented, this message will always
erroneously calculate N as 0.

This patch fixes the calculation that determines how many table entries
will be missing (truncated).

This modification may be used under either the GPL or the BSD-style
license used for Intel ACPI CA code.

d96f94c604 ACPI: Enable bit 11 in _PDC to advertise hw coord
Bit 11 in intel PDC definitions is meant for OS capability to handle
hardware coordination of P-states. In Linux we have always supported
hwardware coordination of P-states. Just let the BIOSes know that we
support it, by setting this bit.

Some BIOSes use this bit to choose between hardware or software coordination
and without this change below, BIOSes switch to software coordination, which
is not very optimal in terms of power consumption and extra wakeups from idle.

fc5a9f8841 ACPI: dock: Don't eval _STA on every show_docked sysfs read
Some devices trigger a DEVICE_CHECK on every evalutation of _STA. This
can also be seen in commit 8b59560a3b
(ACPI: dock: avoid check _STA method).  If an undock is processed, the
dock driver sends a uevent and userspace might read the show_docked
property in sysfs. This causes an evaluation of _STA of the particular
device which causes the dock driver to immediately dock again.

In any case, evaluation of _STA (show_docked) does not necessarily mean
that we are docked, so check with the internal device structure.

fd9fc842bb eCryptfs: Regression in unencrypted filename symlinks
The addition of filename encryption caused a regression in unencrypted
filename symlink support.  ecryptfs_copy_filename() is used when dealing
with unencrypted filenames and it reported that the new, copied filename
was a character longer than it should have been.

This caused the return value of readlink() to count the NULL byte of the
symlink target.  Most applications don't care about the extra NULL byte,
but a version control system (bzr) helped in discovering the bug.

c09249f8d1 x86-64: fix int $0x80 -ENOSYS return
One of my past fixes to this code introduced a different new bug.
When using 32-bit "int $0x80" entry for a bogus syscall number,
the return value is not correctly set to -ENOSYS.  This only happens
when neither syscall-audit nor syscall tracing is enabled (i.e., never
seen if auditd ever started).  Test program:

	/* gcc -o int80-badsys -m32 -g int80-badsys.c
	   Run on x86-64 kernel.
	   Note to reproduce the bug you need auditd never to have started.  */

	#include <errno.h>
	#include <stdio.h>

	int
	main (void)
	{
	  long res;
	  asm ("int $0x80" : "=a" (res) : "0" (99999));
	  printf ("bad syscall returns %ld\n", res);
	  return res != -ENOSYS;
	}

The fix makes the int $0x80 path match the sysenter and syscall paths.

92dc07b1f9 elf core dump: fix get_user use
The elf_core_dump() code does its work with set_fs(KERNEL_DS) in force,
so vma_dump_size() needs to switch back with set_fs(USER_DS) to safely
use get_user() for a normal user-space address.

Checking for VM_READ optimizes out the case where get_user() would fail
anyway.  The vm_file check here was already superfluous given the control
flow earlier in the function, so that is a cleanup/optimization unrelated
to other changes but an obvious and trivial one.

This is a cycling dependency between asm/pgtable.h and linux/mmzone.h
when using CONFIG_SPARSEMEM.  Rather than hacking up the headers some
more, remove asm/pgtable.h, since early_printk.c doesn't actually need
it.

0bf2f3aec5 CRED: Fix SUID exec regression
The patch:

	commit a6f76f23d2
	CRED: Make execve() take advantage of copy-on-write credentials

moved the place in which the 'safeness' of a SUID/SGID exec was performed to
before de_thread() was called.  This means that LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE is now
calculated incorrectly.  This flag is set if any of the usage counts for
fs_struct, files_struct and sighand_struct are greater than 1 at the time the
determination is made.  All of which are true for threads created by the
pthread library.

However, since we wish to make the security calculation before irrevocably
damaging the process so that we can return it an error code in the case where
we decide we want to reject the exec request on this basis, we have to make the
determination before calling de_thread().

So, instead, we count up the number of threads (CLONE_THREAD) that are sharing
our fs_struct (CLONE_FS), files_struct (CLONE_FILES) and sighand_structs
(CLONE_SIGHAND/CLONE_THREAD) with us.  These will be killed by de_thread() and
so can be discounted by check_unsafe_exec().

We do have to be careful because CLONE_THREAD does not imply FS or FILES.

We _assume_ that there will be no extra references to these structs held by the
threads we're going to kill.

This can be tested with the attached pair of programs.  Build the two programs
using the Makefile supplied, and run ./test1 as a non-root user.  If
successful, you should see something like:

	[dhowells@andromeda tmp]$ ./test1
	--TEST1--
	uid=4043, euid=4043 suid=4043
	exec ./test2
	--TEST2--
	uid=4043, euid=0 suid=0
	SUCCESS - Correct effective user ID

and if unsuccessful, something like:

	[dhowells@andromeda tmp]$ ./test1
	--TEST1--
	uid=4043, euid=4043 suid=4043
	exec ./test2
	--TEST2--
	uid=4043, euid=4043 suid=4043
	ERROR - Incorrect effective user ID!

The non-root user ID you see will depend on the user you run as.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <pthread.h>

	uid_t uid, euid, suid;

	printf("--TEST1--\n");
	getresuid(&uid, &euid, &suid);
	printf("uid=%d, euid=%d suid=%d\n", uid, euid, suid);

	if (pthread_create(&tid, NULL, thread_func, NULL) < 0) {
		perror("pthread_create");
		exit(1);
	}

	printf("exec ./test2\n");
	execlp("./test2", "test2", NULL);
	perror("./test2");
	_exit(1);
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	uid_t uid, euid, suid;

	getresuid(&uid, &euid, &suid);
	printf("--TEST2--\n");
	printf("uid=%d, euid=%d suid=%d\n", uid, euid, suid);

	if (euid != 0) {
		fprintf(stderr, "ERROR - Incorrect effective user ID!\n");
		exit(1);
	}
	printf("SUCCESS - Correct effective user ID\n");
	exit(0);
}

d4cf109f05 vfs: Don't call attach_nobh_buffers() with an empty list
This is a modification of a patch by Bill Pemberton <wfp5p@virginia.edu>

nobh_write_end() could call attach_nobh_buffers() with head == NULL.
This would result in a trap when attach_nobh_buffers() attempted to
access bh->b_this_page.

This can be illustrated by running the writev01 testcase from LTP on jfs.

This error was introduced by commit 5b41e74a "vfs: fix data leak in
nobh_write_end()".  That patch did not take into account that if
PageMappedToDisk() is true upon entry to nobh_write_begin(), then no
buffers will be allocated for the page.  In that case, we won't have to
worry about a failed write leaving unitialized data in the page.

Of course, head != NULL implies !page_has_buffers(page), so no need to
test both.

Impact: unify identical code

asm/io_32.h and _64.h has functionally identical definitions for
virt_to_phys, phys_to_virt, page_to_phys, and the isa_* variants, so
just unify them.

The only slightly functional change is using phys_addr_t for the
physical address argument and return val.

26c8e31799 x86: make pgd/pud/pmd/pte_none consistent
The _none test is done differently for every level of the pagetable.
Standardize them by:

 1: Use the native_X_val to extract the raw entry, with no need to go
    via paravirt_ops, diff -r 1d0646d0d319 arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h, and
 2: Compare with 0 rather than using a boolean !, since they are actually values
    and not booleans.
