Sage Weil 76cc071a06 ncpfs: fix rename over directory with dangling references
ncpfs does not handle references to unlinked directories (or so it would
seem given the ncp_rmdir check).  Since it is also possible to rename over
an empty directory, perform the same check here.

Sage Weil 7ce605d93b ncpfs: document dentry_unhash usage
ncpfs returns EBUSY if there are any references to the directory.  The
dentry_unhash call only unhashes the dentry if there are no references.

Return -ENODATA when trying to read a user.* attribute which cannot
exist: user space otherwise does not have a reasonable way to
distinguish between non-existent and inaccessible attributes.

Likewise, return -ENODATA when an unprivileged process tries to read a
trusted.* attribute: to unprivileged processes, those attributes are
invisible (listxattr() won't include them).

Christoph Hellwig aa38572954 fs: pass exact type of data dirties to ->dirty_inode
Tell the filesystem if we just updated timestamp (I_DIRTY_SYNC) or
anything else, so that the filesystem can track internally if it
needs to push out a transaction for fdatasync or not.

This is just the prototype change with no user for it yet.  I plan
to push large XFS changes for the next merge window, and getting
this trivial infrastructure in this window would help a lot to avoid
tree interdependencies.

Also remove incorrect comments that ->dirty_inode can't block.  That
has been changed a long time ago, and many implementations rely on it.

Linus Torvalds f01e1af445 selinux: don't pass in NULL avd to avc_has_perm_noaudit
Right now security_get_user_sids() will pass in a NULL avd pointer to
avc_has_perm_noaudit(), which then forces that function to have a dummy
entry for that case and just generally test it.

Don't do it.  The normal callers all pass a real avd pointer, and this
helper function is incredibly hot.  So don't make avc_has_perm_noaudit()
do conditional stuff that isn't needed for the common case.

This also avoids some duplicated stack space.

	#define find_next_zero_bit_le find_next_zero_bit_le

Jean-François Dagenais 67dfd54c2d w1: add 1-wire (w1) reset and resume command API support
The first patch adds generic functionnality to w1_io for Resume Command
[A5h] lots of slaves support.  I found it useful for multi-commands/reset
workflows with the same slave on a multi-slave bus.

This DS2408 w1 slave driver is not complete for all the features of the
chip, but its sufficient if you use it as a simple IO expander.  Enjoy!

The ds1wm had Kconfig dependencies towards ARM && HAVE_CLK.  I took them
out since I was using the ds1wm on an x86_64 platform (ds1wm in a FPGA
through pcie) and found them irrelevant.

The clock freq/divisors at the top of ds1wm.c did not have the MSB set to
1.  This bit is CLK_EN which turns the whole prescaler and dividers on.
The driver never mentionned this bit either, so I just included this bit
right in the table entries.  I also took the liberty to add a couple of
entries to the table.  The spec doesn't explicitely mentions these
possibilities but the description and examination of the core shows the
prescalers & dividers can be used for more than the table explicitely
shows.  The table I enlarged still doesn't cover all possibilities, but
it's a good start.

I also made a few tweaks to a couple of the read and write algorithms
which made sense while I had my head very deep in the ds1wm documentation.
 We stressed it a lot with 10+ slaves on the bus, many ds2408, ds2431 and
ds2433 at the same time doing extensive interaction.  It proved quite
stable in our production environment.

This patch:

Add generic functionnality to w1_io for Resume Command [A5h] lots of
slaves support.

Julia Lawall d98808a253 drivers/char/ppdev.c: put gotten port value
parport_find_number() calls parport_get_port() on its result, so there
should be a corresponding call to parport_put_port() before dropping the
reference.  Similar code is found in the function register_device() in the
same file.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

  // <smpl>
  @exists@

  statement S1,S2;

Timo Warns 3eb8e74ec7 fs/partitions/efi.c: corrupted GUID partition tables can cause kernel oops
The kernel automatically evaluates partition tables of storage devices.
The code for evaluating GUID partitions (in fs/partitions/efi.c) contains
a bug that causes a kernel oops on certain corrupted GUID partition
tables.

This bug has security impacts, because it allows, for example, to
prepare a storage device that crashes a kernel subsystem upon connecting
the device (e.g., a "USB Stick of (Partial) Death").

	crc = efi_crc32((const unsigned char *) (*gpt), le32_to_cpu((*gpt)->header_size));

computes a CRC32 checksum over gpt covering (*gpt)->header_size bytes.
There is no validation of (*gpt)->header_size before the efi_crc32 call.

A corrupted partition table may have large values for (*gpt)->header_size.
 In this case, the CRC32 computation access memory beyond the memory
allocated for gpt, which may cause a kernel heap overflow.

Validate value of GUID partition table header size.

Olaf Hering 997c136f51 fs/proc/vmcore.c: add hook to read_from_oldmem() to check for non-ram pages
The balloon driver in a Xen guest frees guest pages and marks them as
mmio.  When the kernel crashes and the crash kernel attempts to read the
oldmem via /proc/vmcore a read from ballooned pages will generate 100%
load in dom0 because Xen asks qemu-dm for the page content.  Since the
reads come in as 8byte requests each ballooned page is tried 512 times.

With this change a hook can be registered which checks wether the given
pfn is really ram.  The hook has to return a value > 0 for ram pages, a
value < 0 on error (because the hypercall is not known) and 0 for non-ram
pages.

This will reduce the time to read /proc/vmcore.  Without this change a
512M guest with 128M crashkernel region needs 200 seconds to read it, with
this change it takes just 2 seconds.

KOSAKI Motohiro 98bc93e505 proc: fix pagemap_read() error case
Currently, pagemap_read() has three error and/or corner case handling
mistake.

 (1) If ppos parameter is wrong, mm refcount will be leak.
 (2) If count parameter is 0, mm refcount will be leak too.
 (3) If the current task is sleeping in kmalloc() and the system
     is out of memory and oom-killer kill the proc associated task,
     mm_refcount prevent the task free its memory. then system may
     hang up.

<Quote Hugh's explain why we shold call kmalloc() before get_mm()>

  check_mem_permission gets a reference to the mm.  If we
  __get_free_page after check_mem_permission, imagine what happens if the
  system is out of memory, and the mm we're looking at is selected for
  killing by the OOM killer: while we wait in __get_free_page for more
  memory, no memory is freed from the selected mm because it cannot reach
  exit_mmap while we hold that reference.

This patch fixes the above three.

It whould be better if put check_mem_permission after __get_free_page in
mem_write, to be same as function mem_read.

Hugh Dickins explained the reason.

    check_mem_permission gets a reference to the mm.  If we __get_free_page
    after check_mem_permission, imagine what happens if the system is out
    of memory, and the mm we're looking at is selected for killing by the
    OOM killer: while we wait in __get_free_page for more memory, no memory
    is freed from the selected mm because it cannot reach exit_mmap while
    we hold that reference.
