The lack of one reference count against poisoned page for hwpoison_inject
w/o hwpoison_filter enabled result in hwpoison detect -1 users still
referenced the page, however, the number should be 0 except the poison
handler held one after successfully unmap. This patch fix it by hold one
referenced count against poisoned page for hwpoison_inject w/ and w/o
hwpoison_filter enabled.

madvise_hwpoison won't check if the page is small page or huge page and
traverses in small page granularity against the range unconditionally,
which result in a printk flood "MCE xxx: already hardware poisoned" if

Recently commit bab55417b1 ("block: support embedded device command
line partition") introduced CONFIG_CMDLINE_PARSER. However, that name
is too generic and sounds like it enables/disables generic kernel boot
arg processing, when it really is block specific.
Before this option becomes a part of a full/final release, add the BLK_
prefix to it so that it is clear in absence of any other context that it
is block specific.
In addition, fix up the following less critical items:
- help text was not really at all helpful.
- index file for Documentation was not updated
- add the new arg to Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
- clarify wording in source comments

The function __munlock_pagevec_fill() introduced in commit 7a8010cd36
("mm: munlock: manual pte walk in fast path instead of
follow_page_mask()") uses pmd_addr_end() for restricting its operation
within current page table.
This is insufficient on architectures/configurations where pmd is folded
and pmd_addr_end() just returns the end of the full range to be walked.
In this case, it allows pte++ to walk off the end of a page table
resulting in unpredictable behaviour.
This patch fixes the function by using pgd_addr_end() and pud_addr_end()
before pmd_addr_end(), which will yield correct page table boundary on
all configurations. This is similar to what existing page walkers do
when walking each level of the page table.
Additionaly, the patch clarifies a comment for get_locked_pte() call in the
function.

Many NILFS2 users were reported about strange file system corruption
(for example):
NILFS: bad btree node (blocknr=185027): level = 0, flags = 0x0, nchildren = 768
NILFS error (device sda4): nilfs_bmap_last_key: broken bmap (inode number=11540)
But such error messages are consequence of file system's issue that takes
place more earlier. Fortunately, Jerome Poulin <jeromepoulin@gmail.com>
and Anton Eliasson <devel@antoneliasson.se> were reported about another
issue not so recently. These reports describe the issue with segctor
thread's crash:
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 0000000000004c83
IP: nilfs_end_page_io+0x12/0xd0 [nilfs2]
Call Trace:
nilfs_segctor_do_construct+0xf25/0x1b20 [nilfs2]
nilfs_segctor_construct+0x17b/0x290 [nilfs2]
nilfs_segctor_thread+0x122/0x3b0 [nilfs2]
kthread+0xc0/0xd0
ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0
These two issues have one reason. This reason can raise third issue
too. Third issue results in hanging of segctor thread with eating of
100% CPU.
REPRODUCING PATH:
One of the possible way or the issue reproducing was described by
Jermoe me Poulin <jeromepoulin@gmail.com>:
1. init S to get to single user mode.
2. sysrq+E to make sure only my shell is running
3. start network-manager to get my wifi connection up
4. login as root and launch "screen"
5. cd /boot/log/nilfs which is a ext3 mount point and can log when NILFS dies.
6. lscp | xz -9e > lscp.txt.xz
7. mount my snapshot using mount -o cp=3360839,ro /dev/vgUbuntu/root /mnt/nilfs
8. start a screen to dump /proc/kmsg to text file since rsyslog is killed
9. start a screen and launch strace -f -o find-cat.log -t find
/mnt/nilfs -type f -exec cat {} > /dev/null \;
10. start a screen and launch strace -f -o apt-get.log -t apt-get update
11. launch the last command again as it did not crash the first time
12. apt-get crashes
13. ps aux > ps-aux-crashed.log
13. sysrq+W
14. sysrq+E wait for everything to terminate
15. sysrq+SUSB
Simplified way of the issue reproducing is starting kernel compilation
task and "apt-get update" in parallel.
REPRODUCIBILITY:
The issue is reproduced not stable [60% - 80%]. It is very important to
have proper environment for the issue reproducing. The critical
conditions for successful reproducing:
(1) It should have big modified file by mmap() way.
(2) This file should have the count of dirty blocks are greater that
several segments in size (for example, two or three) from time to time
during processing.
(3) It should be intensive background activity of files modification
in another thread.
INVESTIGATION:
First of all, it is possible to see that the reason of crash is not valid
page address:
NILFS [nilfs_segctor_complete_write]:2100 bh->b_count 0, bh->b_blocknr 13895680, bh->b_size 13897727, bh->b_page 0000000000001a82
NILFS [nilfs_segctor_complete_write]:2101 segbuf->sb_segnum 6783
Moreover, value of b_page (0x1a82) is 6786. This value looks like segment
number. And b_blocknr with b_size values look like block numbers. So,
buffer_head's pointer points on not proper address value.
Detailed investigation of the issue is discovered such picture:

Usually, for every segment we collect dirty files in list. Then, dirty
blocks are gathered for every dirty file, prepared for write and
submitted by means of nilfs_segbuf_submit_bh() call. Finally, it takes
place complete write phase after calling nilfs_end_bio_write() on the
block layer. Buffers/pages are marked as not dirty on final phase and
processed files removed from the list of dirty files.
It is possible to see that we had three prepare_write and submit_bio
phases before segbuf_wait and complete_write phase. Moreover, segments
compete between each other for dirty blocks because on every iteration
of segments processing dirty buffer_heads are added in several lists of
payload_buffers:
[SEGMENT 6784]: bh->b_assoc_buffers.next ffff880218a0d5f8, bh->b_assoc_buffers.prev ffff880218bcdf50
[SEGMENT 6785]: bh->b_assoc_buffers.next ffff880218a0d5f8, bh->b_assoc_buffers.prev ffff880222cc7ee8
The next pointer is the same but prev pointer has changed. It means
that buffer_head has next pointer from one list but prev pointer from
another. Such modification can be made several times. And, finally, it
can be resulted in various issues: (1) segctor hanging, (2) segctor
crashing, (3) file system metadata corruption.
FIX:
This patch adds:
(1) setting of BH_Async_Write flag in nilfs_segctor_prepare_write()
for every proccessed dirty block;
(2) checking of BH_Async_Write flag in
nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers() and
nilfs_lookup_dirty_node_buffers();
(3) clearing of BH_Async_Write flag in nilfs_segctor_complete_write(),
nilfs_abort_logs(), nilfs_forget_buffer(), nilfs_clear_dirty_page().

If /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern contains only "|", a NULL pointer
dereference happens upon core dump because argv_split("") returns
argv[0] == NULL.
This bug was once fixed by commit 264b83c07a ("usermodehelper: check
subprocess_info->path != NULL") but was by error reintroduced by commit
7f57cfa4e2 ("usermodehelper: kill the sub_info->path[0] check").
This bug seems to exist since 2.6.19 (the version which core dump to
pipe was added). Depending on kernel version and config, some side
effect might happen immediately after this oops (e.g. kernel panic with
2.6.32-358.18.1.el6).

The proc interface is not aware of sem_lock(), it instead calls
ipc_lock_object() directly. This means that simple semop() operations
can run in parallel with the proc interface. Right now, this is
uncritical, because the implementation doesn't do anything that requires
a proper synchronization.
But it is dangerous and therefore should be fixed.

Operations that need access to the whole array must guarantee that there
are no simple operations ongoing. Right now this is achieved by
spin_unlock_wait(sem->lock) on all semaphores.
If complex_count is nonzero, then this spin_unlock_wait() is not
necessary, because it was already performed in the past by the thread
that increased complex_count and even though sem_perm.lock was dropped
inbetween, no simple operation could have started, because simple
operations cannot start when complex_count is non-zero.

The exclusion of complex operations in sem_lock() is insufficient: after
acquiring the per-semaphore lock, a simple op must first check that
sem_perm.lock is not locked and only after that test check
complex_count. The current code does it the other way around - and that
creates a race. Details are below.
The patch is a complete rewrite of sem_lock(), based in part on the code
from Mike Galbraith. It removes all gotos and all loops and thus the
risk of livelocks.
I have tested the patch (together with the next one) on my i3 laptop and
it didn't cause any problems.
The bug is probably also present in 3.10 and 3.11, but for these kernels
it might be simpler just to move the test of sma->complex_count after
the spin_is_locked() test.
Details of the bug:
Assume:
- sma->complex_count = 0.
- Thread 1: semtimedop(complex op that must sleep)
- Thread 2: semtimedop(simple op).
Pseudo-Trace:

When a zone is massively long and no suitable targets can be found, this
iteration can be quite expensive without ever doing cond_resched().
Check periodically for the need to reschedule while the compaction free

A high setting of max_map_count, and a process core-dumping with a large
enough vm_map_count could result in an NT_FILE note not being written,
and the kernel crashing immediately later because it has assumed
otherwise.
Reproduction of the oops-causing bug described here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/30/50
Rge ussue originated in commit 2aa362c49c ("coredump: extend core dump
note section to contain file names of mapped file") from Oct 4, 2012.
This patch make that section optional in that case. fill_files_note()
should signify the error, and also let the info struct in
elf_core_dump() be zero-initialized so that we can check for the
optionally written note.

Consider the scenario where an IPv6 router is advertising a fixed
preferred_lft of 1800 seconds, while the valid_lft begins at 3600
seconds and counts down in realtime.
A client should reset its preferred_lft to 1800 every time the RA is
received, but a bug is causing Linux to ignore the update.
The core problem is here:
if (prefered_lft != ifp->prefered_lft) {
Note that ifp->prefered_lft is an offset, so it doesn't decrease over
time. Thus, the comparison is always (1800 != 1800), which fails to
trigger an update.
The most direct solution would be to compute a "stored_prefered_lft",
and use that value in the comparison. But I think that trying to filter
out unnecessary updates here is a premature optimization. In order for
the filter to apply, both of these would need to hold:
- The advertised valid_lft and preferred_lft are both declining in
real time.
- No clock skew exists between the router & client.
So in this patch, I've set "update_lft = 1" unconditionally, which
allows the surrounding code to be greatly simplified.

hibernation (s2disk), because I forgot that the resume utility
loaded the image into memory without freezing user space (it still
freezes tasks after loading the image). This means that during user
space driven resume we need to create the memory bitmaps at the
"device open" time rather than at the "freeze tasks" time, so make
that happen (that's a special case anyway, so it needs to be treated
in a special way).

HWMOD removal for MMC is breaking edma_start as the events are being manually
triggered due to unused channel list not being clear.
The above issue is fixed by reading the "dmas" property from the DT node if it
exists and clearing the bits in the unused channel list if the dma controller
used by any device is EDMA. For this purpose we use the of_* helpers to parse
the arguments in the dmas phandle list.
Also introduced is a minor clean up of a checkpatch error in old code.

On the TC2 testchip, when all CPUs in a cluster enter standbywfi
and commit a power down request, the power controller will wait
for standbywfil2 coming from L2 cache controller to shut the
cluster down.
By the time all CPUs in a cluster commit a power down request
and enter wfi, the power controller cannot backtrack, or put it
another way, a CPU must not be allowed to complete execution
independently of the power controller, the only way for it to
resume properly must be upon wake-up IRQ pending and subsequent
reset triggered from the power controller.
Current MCPM back-end for TC2 disables the GIC CPU IF only when
power down is committed through the tc2_pm_suspend() method, that
makes sense since a suspended CPU is still online and can receive
interrupts whereas a hotplugged CPU, since it is offline,
migrated all IRQs and shutdown the per-CPU peripherals, hence
their PPIs.
The flaw with this reasoning is the following. If all CPUs in
a clusters are entering a power down state either through CPU
idle or CPU hotplug, when the last man successfully completes
the MCPM power down sequence (and executes wfi), power controller
waits for L2 wfi signal to quiesce the cluster and shut it down.
If, when all CPUs are sitting in wfi, an online CPU hotplugs back
in one of the CPUs in the cluster being shutdown, that CPU
receives an IPI that causes wfi to complete (since tc2_pm_down()
method does not disable the GIC CPU IF in that case - CPU being
hotplugged out, not idle) and the power controller will never see
the stanbywfil2 signal coming from L2 that is required for
shutdown to happen and the system deadlocks.
Further to this issue, kexec hotplugs secondary CPUs out during
kernel reload/restart.
Because kexec may (deliberately) trash the old kernel text, it is
not OK for CPUs to follow the MCPM soft reboot path, since
instructions after the WFI may have been replaced by kexec.
If tc2_pm_down() does not disable the GIC cpu interface, there is a
race between CPU powerdown in the old kernel and the IPI from the
new kernel that triggers secondary boot, particularly if the
powerdown is slow (due to L2 cache cleaning for example). If the
new kernel wins the race, the affected CPU(s) will not really be
reset and may execute garbage after the WFI.
The only solution to this problem consists in disabling the GIC
CPU IF on a CPU committed to power down regardless of the power
down entry method (CPU hotplug or CPU idle). This way, CPU wake-up
is under power controller control, which prevents unexpected wfi
exit caused by a pending IRQ.
This patch moves the GIC CPU IF disable call in the TC2 MCPM
implementation from the tc2_pm_suspend() method to the
tc2_pm_down() method to fix the mentioned race condition(s).

$ ./Foundation_v8 --image linux-system.axf --block-device raring-rootfs
To mount the raring-rootfs filesystem, the kernel parameter should
typically include:

For this device to be present, the kernel must be compiled with
