Pull x86 fixes from Peter Anvin:
 "A somewhat unpleasantly large collection of small fixes.  The big ones
  are the __visible tree sweep and a fix for 'earlyprintk=efi,keep'.  It
  was using __init functions with predictably suboptimal results.

  Another key fix is a build fix which would produce output that simply
  would not decompress correctly in some configuration, due to the
  existing Makefiles picking up an unfortunate local label and mistaking
  it for the global symbol _end.

  Additional fixes include the handling of 64-bit numbers when setting
  the vdso data page (a latent bug which became manifest when i386
  started exporting a vdso with time functions), a fix to the new MSR
  manipulation accessors which would cause features to not get properly
  unblocked, a build fix for 32-bit userland, and a few new platform
  quirks"

2014-05-08T21:17:13+00:00

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "This contains two fixes.

  The first is a long standing bug that causes bogus data to show up in
  the refcnt field of the module_refcnt tracepoint.  It was introduced
  by a merge conflict resolution back in 2.6.35-rc days.

  The result should be 'refcnt = incs - decs', but instead it did
  'refcnt = incs + decs'.

  The second fix is to a bug that was introduced in this merge window
  that allowed for a tracepoint funcs pointer to be used after it was
  freed.  Moving the location of where the probes are released solved
  the problem"

tracepoint: Fix use of tracepoint funcs after rcu free

2014-05-08T13:10:56+00:00

Commit de7b2973903c "tracepoint: Use struct pointer instead of name hash
for reg/unreg tracepoints" introduces a use after free by calling
release_probes on the old struct tracepoint array before the newly
allocated array is published with rcu_assign_pointer. There is a race
window where tracepoints (RCU readers) can perform a
"use-after-grace-period-after-free", which shows up as a GPF in
stress-tests.

asmlinkage: Add explicit __visible to drivers/, lib/, kernel/*

2014-05-05T23:07:46+00:00

As requested by Linus add explicit __visible to the asmlinkage users.
This marks functions visible to assembler.

Pull irq fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This udpate delivers:

   - A fix for dynamic interrupt allocation on x86 which is required to
     exclude the GSI interrupts from the dynamic allocatable range.

     This was detected with the newfangled tablet SoCs which have GPIOs
     and therefor allocate a range of interrupts.  The MSI allocations
     already excluded the GSI range, so we never noticed before.

   - The last missing set_irq_affinity() repair, which was delayed due
     to testing issues

   - A few bug fixes for the armada SoC interrupt controller

   - A memory allocation fix for the TI crossbar interrupt controller

Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
 "This is a small fix where the trigger code used the wrong

  tracing: Use rcu_dereference_sched() for trace event triggers

tracing: Use rcu_dereference_sched() for trace event triggers

2014-05-03T03:12:42+00:00

As trace event triggers are now part of the mainline kernel, I added
my trace event trigger tests to my test suite I run on all my kernels.
Now these tests get run under different config options, and one of
those options is CONFIG_PROVE_RCU, which checks under lockdep that
the rcu locking primitives are being used correctly. This triggered
the following splat:

===============================
[ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]
3.15.0-rc2-test+ #11 Not tainted
-------------------------------
kernel/trace/trace_events_trigger.c:80 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

The cause is that the triggers are protected by rcu_read_lock_sched() but
the data is dereferenced with rcu_dereference() which expects it to
be protected with rcu_read_lock(). The proper reference should be
rcu_dereference_sched().
