commit 33692f27597fcab536d7cbbcc8f52905133e4aa7 upstream.

The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a
"you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally
handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler.

That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
retries etc" - but it generally works.  However, there are cases where
the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.

In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
SIGSEGV.  And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
that duplicated architecture fault handler.

However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error
from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space.  And user space really
expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.

To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
duplicate architecture fault handlers about it.  They all already have
the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.

This is the mindless minimal patch to do this.  A more extensive patch
would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
cleanup.

Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
"newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
them too.

commit c177c81e09e517bbf75b67762cdab1b83aba6976 upstream.

Currently hugepage migration is available for all archs which support
pmd-level hugepage, but testing is done only for x86_64 and there're
bugs for other archs.  So to avoid breaking such archs, this patch
limits the availability strictly to x86_64 until developers of other
archs get interested in enabling this feature.

Simply disabling hugepage migration on non-x86_64 archs is not enough to
fix the reported problem where sys_move_pages() hits the BUG_ON() in
follow_page(FOLL_GET), so let's fix this by checking if hugepage
migration is supported in vma_migratable().

<title>mm: fix GFP_THISNODE callers and clarify</title>

GFP_THISNODE is for callers that implement their own clever fallback to
remote nodes.  It restricts the allocation to the specified node and
does not invoke reclaim, assuming that the caller will take care of it
when the fallback fails, e.g.  through a subsequent allocation request
without GFP_THISNODE set.

However, many current GFP_THISNODE users only want the node exclusive
aspect of the flag, without actually implementing their own fallback or
triggering reclaim if necessary.  This results in things like page
migration failing prematurely even when there is easily reclaimable
memory available, unless kswapd happens to be running already or a
concurrent allocation attempt triggers the necessary reclaim.

Convert all callsites that don't implement their own fallback strategy
to __GFP_THISNODE.  This restricts the allocation a single node too, but
at the same time allows the allocator to enter the slowpath, wake
kswapd, and invoke direct reclaim if necessary, to make the allocation
happen when memory is full.

 1) BPF debugger and asm tool by Daniel Borkmann.

 2) Speed up create/bind in AF_PACKET, also from Daniel Borkmann.

 3) Correct reciprocal_divide and update users, from Hannes Frederic
    Sowa and Daniel Borkmann.

 4) Currently we only have a "set" operation for the hw timestamp socket
    ioctl, add a "get" operation to match.  From Ben Hutchings.

 5) Add better trace events for debugging driver datapath problems, also
    from Ben Hutchings.

 6) Implement auto corking in TCP, from Eric Dumazet.  Basically, if we
    have a small send and a previous packet is already in the qdisc or
    device queue, defer until TX completion or we get more data.

 7) Allow userspace to manage ipv6 temporary addresses, from Jiri Pirko.

 8) Add a qdisc bypass option for AF_PACKET sockets, from Daniel
    Borkmann.

 9) Share IP header compression code between Bluetooth and IEEE802154
    layers, from Jukka Rissanen.

10) Fix ipv6 router reachability probing, from Jiri Benc.

11) Allow packets to be captured on macvtap devices, from Vlad Yasevich.

12) Support tunneling in GRO layer, from Jerry Chu.

13) Allow bonding to be configured fully using netlink, from Scott
    Feldman.

14) Allow AF_PACKET users to obtain the VLAN TPID, just like they can
    already get the TCI.  From Atzm Watanabe.

15) New "Heavy Hitter" qdisc, from Terry Lam.

16) Significantly improve the IPSEC support in pktgen, from Fan Du.

17) Allow ipv4 tunnels to cache routes, just like sockets.  From Tom
    Herbert.

18) Add Proportional Integral Enhanced packet scheduler, from Vijay
    Subramanian.

19) Allow openvswitch to mmap'd netlink, from Thomas Graf.

20) Key TCP metrics blobs also by source address, not just destination
    address.  From Christoph Paasch.

21) Support 10G in generic phylib.  From Andy Fleming.

22) Try to short-circuit GRO flow compares using device provided RX
    hash, if provided.  From Tom Herbert.

The wireless and netfilter folks have been busy little bees too.

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "As far as the number of commits goes, the top spot belongs to ACPI
  this time with cpufreq in the second position and a handful of PM
  core, PNP and cpuidle updates.  They are fixes and cleanups mostly, as
  usual, with a couple of new features in the mix.

  The most visible change is probably that we will create struct
  acpi_device objects (visible in sysfs) for all devices represented in
  the ACPI tables regardless of their status and there will be a new
  sysfs attribute under those objects allowing user space to check that
  status via _STA.

  Consequently, ACPI device eject or generally hot-removal will not
  delete those objects, unless the table containing the corresponding
  namespace nodes is unloaded, which is extremely rare.  Also ACPI
  container hotplug will be handled quite a bit differently and cpufreq
  will support CPU boost ("turbo") generically and not only in the
  acpi-cpufreq driver.

  Specifics:

   - ACPI core changes to make it create a struct acpi_device object for
     every device represented in the ACPI tables during all namespace
     scans regardless of the current status of that device.  In
     accordance with this, ACPI hotplug operations will not delete those
     objects, unless the underlying ACPI tables go away.

   - On top of the above, new sysfs attribute for ACPI device objects
     allowing user space to check device status by triggering the
     execution of _STA for its ACPI object.  From Srinivas Pandruvada.

   - ACPI core hotplug changes reducing code duplication, integrating
     the PCI root hotplug with the core and reworking container hotplug.

   - ACPI core simplifications making it use ACPI_COMPANION() in the
     code "glueing" ACPI device objects to "physical" devices.

   - ACPICA update to upstream version 20131218.  This adds support for
     the DBG2 and PCCT tables to ACPICA, fixes some bugs and improves
     debug facilities.  From Bob Moore, Lv Zheng and Betty Dall.

   - Init code change to carry out the early ACPI initialization
     earlier.  That should allow us to use ACPI during the timekeeping
     initialization and possibly to simplify the EFI initialization too.
     From Chun-Yi Lee.

   - Clenups of the inclusions of ACPI headers in many places all over
     from Lv Zheng and Rashika Kheria (work in progress).

   - New helper for ACPI _DSM execution and rework of the code in
     drivers that uses _DSM to execute it via the new helper.  From
     Jiang Liu.

   - New Win8 OSI blacklist entries from Takashi Iwai.

   - Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups from Al Stone, Emil Goode, Hanjun
     Guo, Lan Tianyu, Masanari Iida, Oliver Neukum, Prarit Bhargava,
     Rashika Kheria, Tang Chen, Zhang Rui.

   - intel_pstate driver updates, including proper Baytrail support,
     from Dirk Brandewie and intel_pstate documentation from Ramkumar
     Ramachandra.

   - Generic CPU boost ("turbo") support for cpufreq from Lukasz
     Majewski.

   - powernow-k6 cpufreq driver fixes from Mikulas Patocka.

   - cpufreq core fixes and cleanups from Viresh Kumar, Jane Li, Mark
     Brown.

   - Assorted cpufreq drivers fixes and cleanups from Anson Huang, John
     Tobias, Paul Bolle, Paul Walmsley, Sachin Kamat, Shawn Guo, Viresh
     Kumar.

   - cpuidle cleanups from Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz.

   - Support for hibernation APM events from Bin Shi.

   - Hibernation fix to avoid bringing up nonboot CPUs with ACPI EC
     disabled during thaw transitions from Bjørn Mork.

   - PM core fixes and cleanups from Ben Dooks, Leonardo Potenza, Ulf
     Hansson.

   - PNP subsystem fixes and cleanups from Dmitry Torokhov, Levente
     Kurusa, Rashika Kheria.

   - New tool for profiling system suspend from Todd E Brandt and a
     cpupower tool cleanup from One Thousand Gnomes"

<title>firmware/dmi_scan: generalize for use by other archs</title>

<id>cf0744021c5d5de54d2c66e2020c6de2fe800264</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch makes a couple of changes to the SMBIOS/DMI scanning
code so it can be used on other archs (such as ARM and arm64):
(a) wrap the calls to ioremap()/iounmap(), this allows the use of a
    flavor of ioremap() more suitable for random unaligned access;
(b) allow the non-EFI fallback probe into hardcoded physical address
    0xF0000 to be disabled.

Add #include &lt;linux/cache.h&gt; to define __read_mostly.

Convert cache.h to use uapi/linux/kernel.h instead
of linux/kernel.h to avoid recursive #includes.

Convert the ALIGN macro to __ALIGN_KERNEL.

printk_once only sets the bool variable tested
once so mark it __read_mostly.

Neaten the alignment so it matches the rest of the
pr_&lt;level&gt;_once #defines too.
