This patch fixes one build failure which is introduced by the patch
below:
driver core: firmware loader: kill FW_ACTION_NOHOTPLUG requests
before suspend
When CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER is unset, kill_requests_without_uevent()
should be nop because no userspace loading is involved.

Ever since commit 45f035ab9b ("CONFIG_HOTPLUG should be always on"),
it has been basically impossible to build a kernel with CONFIG_HOTPLUG
turned off. Remove all the remaining references to it.

Generally there are only two drivers which don't need uevent to
handle firmware loading, so don't cache these firmwares during
suspend for these drivers since doing that may block firmware
loading forever.
Both the two drivers are involved in private firmware images, so
they don't hit in direct loading too.

When a system goes to reboot/shutdown, it tries to disable the
usermode helper via usermodehelper_disable(). This might be blocked
when a driver tries to load a firmware beforehand and it's stuck by
some reason. For example, dell_rbu driver loads the firmware in
non-hotplug mode and waits for user-space clearing the loading sysfs
flag. If user-space doesn't clear the flag, it waits forever, thus
blocks the reboot, too.
As a workaround, in this patch, the firmware class driver registers a
reboot notifier so that it can abort all pending f/w bufs before
issuing usermodehelper_disable().

do_smart_update_queue() is called when an operation (semop,
semctl(SETVAL), semctl(SETALL), ...) modified the array. It must check
which of the sleeping tasks can proceed.
do_smart_update_queue() missed a few wakeups:
- if a sleeping complex op was completed, then all per-semaphore queues
must be scanned - not only those that were modified by *sops
- if a sleeping simple op proceeded, then the global queue must be
scanned again
And:
- the test for "|sops == NULL) before scanning the global queue is not
required: If the global queue is empty, then it doesn't need to be
scanned - regardless of the reason for calling do_smart_update_queue()
The patch is not optimized, i.e. even completing a wait-for-zero
operation causes a rescan. This is done to keep the patch as simple as
possible.

gdbserver inserting a breakpoint ends up calling copy_user_page() for a

corresponding dynamic loader code page - causing garbade to be executed.

The recent changes overhauling fs/aio.c introduced a bug that results in
the kioctx not being freed when outstanding kiocbs are cancelled at
exit_aio() time. Specifically, a kiocb that is cancelled has its
completion events discarded by batch_complete_aio(), which then fails to
wake up the process stuck in free_ioctx(). Fix this by modifying the
wait_event() condition in free_ioctx() appropriately.
This patch was tested with the cancel operation in the thread based code
posted yesterday.

A panic can be caused by simply cat'ing /proc/<pid>/smaps while an
application has a VM_PFNMAP range. It happened in-house when a
benchmarker was trying to decipher the memory layout of his program.
/proc/<pid>/smaps and similar walks through a user page table should not
be looking at VM_PFNMAP areas.
Certain tests in walk_page_range() (specifically split_huge_page_pmd())
assume that all the mapped PFN's are backed with page structures. And
this is not usually true for VM_PFNMAP areas. This can result in panics
on kernel page faults when attempting to address those page structures.
There are a half dozen callers of walk_page_range() that walk through a
task's entire page table (as N. Horiguchi pointed out). So rather than
change all of them, this patch changes just walk_page_range() to ignore
VM_PFNMAP areas.
The logic of hugetlb_vma() is moved back into walk_page_range(), as we
want to test any vma in the range.
VM_PFNMAP areas are used by:
- graphics memory manager gpu/drm/drm_gem.c
- global reference unit sgi-gru/grufile.c
- sgi special memory char/mspec.c
- and probably several out-of-tree modules

Last time we found there is lock/unlock bug in ocfs2_file_aio_write, and
then we did a thorough search for all lock resources in
ocfs2_inode_info, including rw, inode and open lockres and found this
bug. My kernel version is 3.0.13, and it is also in the lastest version
3.9. In ocfs2_fiemap, once ocfs2_get_clusters_nocache failed, it should
goto out_unlock instead of out, because we need release buffer head, up

Commit 902c098a36 ("random: use lockless techniques in the interrupt
path") turned IRQ path from being spinlock protected into lockless
cmpxchg-retry update.
That commit removed r->lock serialization between crediting entropy bits
from IRQ context and accounting when extracting entropy on userspace
read path, but didn't turn the r->entropy_count reads/updates in
account() to use cmpxchg as well.
It has been observed, that under certain circumstances this leads to
read() on /dev/urandom to return 0 (EOF), as r->entropy_count gets
corrupted and becomes negative, which in turn results in propagating 0
all the way from account() to the actual read() call.
Convert the accounting code to be the proper lockless counterpart of
what has been partially done by 902c098a36.

Commit ec8f02da9e ("random: prime last_data value per fips
requirements") added priming of last_data per fips requirements.
Unfortuantely, it did so in a way that can lead to multiple threads all
incrementing nbytes, but only one actually doing anything with the extra
data, which leads to some fun random corruption and panics.
The fix is to simply do everything needed to prime last_data in a single
shot, so there's no window for multiple cpus to increment nbytes -- in
fact, we won't even increment or decrement nbytes anymore, we'll just
extract the needed EXTRACT_SIZE one time per pool and then carry on with
the normal routine.
All these changes have been tested across multiple hosts and
architectures where panics were previously encoutered. The code changes
are are strictly limited to areas only touched when when booted in fips
mode.
This change should also go into 3.8-stable, to make the myriads of fips
users on 3.8.x happy.

nilfs2: fix issue of nilfs_set_page_dirty for page at EOF boundary
DESCRIPTION:
There are use-cases when NILFS2 file system (formatted with block size
lesser than 4 KB) can be remounted in RO mode because of encountering of
"broken bmap" issue.
The issue was reported by Anthony Doggett <Anthony2486@interfaces.org.uk>:
"The machine I've been trialling nilfs on is running Debian Testing,
Linux version 3.2.0-4-686-pae (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc
version 4.6.3 (Debian 4.6.3-14) ) #1 SMP Debian 3.2.35-2), but I've
also reproduced it (identically) with Debian Unstable amd64 and Debian
Experimental (using the 3.8-trunk kernel). The problematic partitions
were formatted with "mkfs.nilfs2 -b 1024 -B 8192"."
SYMPTOMS:
(1) System log contains error messages likewise:
[63102.496756] nilfs_direct_assign: invalid pointer: 0
[63102.496786] NILFS error (device dm-17): nilfs_bmap_assign: broken bmap (inode number=28)
[63102.496798]
[63102.524403] Remounting filesystem read-only
(2) The NILFS2 file system is remounted in RO mode.
REPRODUSING PATH:
(1) Create volume group with name "unencrypted" by means of vgcreate utility.
(2) Run script (prepared by Anthony Doggett <Anthony2486@interfaces.org.uk>):
----------------[BEGIN SCRIPT]--------------------
VG=unencrypted
lvcreate --size 2G --name ntest $VG
mkfs.nilfs2 -b 1024 -B 8192 /dev/mapper/$VG-ntest
mkdir /var/tmp/n
mkdir /var/tmp/n/ntest
mount /dev/mapper/$VG-ntest /var/tmp/n/ntest
mkdir /var/tmp/n/ntest/thedir
cd /var/tmp/n/ntest/thedir
sleep 2
date
darcs init
sleep 2
dmesg|tail -n 5
date
darcs whatsnew || true
date
sleep 2
dmesg|tail -n 5
----------------[END SCRIPT]--------------------
REPRODUCIBILITY: 100%
INVESTIGATION:
As it was discovered, the issue takes place during segment
construction after executing such sequence of user-space operations:
open("_darcs/index", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_NOCTTY, 0666) = 7
fstat(7, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
ftruncate(7, 60)
The error message "NILFS error (device dm-17): nilfs_bmap_assign: broken
bmap (inode number=28)" takes place because of trying to get block
number for third block of the file with logical offset #3072 bytes. As
it is possible to see from above output, the file has 60 bytes of the
whole size. So, it is enough one block (1 KB in size) allocation for
the whole file. Trying to operate with several blocks instead of one
takes place because of discovering several dirty buffers for this file
in nilfs_segctor_scan_file() method.
The root cause of this issue is in nilfs_set_page_dirty function which
is called just before writing to an mmapped page.
When nilfs_page_mkwrite function handles a page at EOF boundary, it
fills hole blocks only inside EOF through __block_page_mkwrite().
The __block_page_mkwrite() function calls set_page_dirty() after filling
hole blocks, thus nilfs_set_page_dirty function (=
a_ops->set_page_dirty) is called. However, the current implementation
of nilfs_set_page_dirty() wrongly marks all buffers dirty even for page
at EOF boundary.
As a result, buffers outside EOF are inconsistently marked dirty and
queued for write even though they are not mapped with nilfs_get_block
function.
FIX:
This modifies nilfs_set_page_dirty() not to mark hole blocks dirty.
Thanks to Vyacheslav Dubeyko for his effort on analysis and proposals
for this issue.

Page 'new' during MIGRATION can't be flushed with flush_cache_page().
Using flush_cache_page(vma, addr, pfn) is justified only if the page is
already placed in process page table, and that is done right after
flush_cache_page(). But without it the arch function has no knowledge
of process PTE and does nothing.
Besides that, flush_cache_page() flushes an application cache page, but
the kernel has a different page virtual address and dirtied it.
Replace it with flush_dcache_page(new) which is the proper usage.
The old page is flushed in try_to_unmap_one() before migration.
This bug takes place in Sead3 board with M14Kc MIPS CPU without cache
aliasing (but Harvard arch - separate I and D cache) in tight memory
environment (128MB) each 1-3days on SOAK test. It fails in cc1 during
kernel build (SIGILL, SIGBUS, SIGSEG) if CONFIG_COMPACTION is switched
ON.

Fix bug in MSI interrupt handling which causes loss of event
notifications.
Typical indication of lost MSI interrupts are stalled message and
doorbell transfers between RapidIO endpoints. To avoid loss of MSI
interrupts all interrupts from the device must be disabled on entering
the interrupt handler routine and re-enabled when exiting it.
Re-enabling device interrupts will trigger new MSI message(s) if Tsi721
registered new events since entering interrupt handler routine.
This patch is applicable to kernel versions starting from v3.2.

Commit 0c59b89c81 ("mm: memcg: push down PageSwapCache check into
uncharge entry functions") added a VM_BUG_ON() on PageSwapCache in the
uncharge path after checking that page flag once, assuming that the
state is stable in all paths, but this is not the case and the condition
triggers in user environments. An uncharge after the last page table
reference to the page goes away can race with reclaim adding the page to
swap cache.
Swap cache pages are usually uncharged when they are freed after
swapout, from a path that also handles swap usage accounting and memcg
lifetime management. However, since the last page table reference is
gone and thus no references to the swap slot left, the swap slot will be
freed shortly when reclaim attempts to write the page to disk. The
whole swap accounting is not even necessary.
So while the race condition for which this VM_BUG_ON was added is real
and actually existed all along, there are no negative effects. Remove
the VM_BUG_ON again.

A simple frame-buffer describes a raw memory region that may be rendered
to, with the assumption that the display hardware has already been set
up to scan out from that buffer.
This is useful in cases where a bootloader exists and has set up the
display hardware, but a Linux driver doesn't yet exist for the display
hardware.
Examples use-cases include:
* The built-in LCD panels on the Samsung ARM chromebook, and Tegra
devices, and likely many other ARM or embedded systems. These cannot
yet be supported using a full graphics driver, since the panel control
should be provided by the CDF (Common Display Framework), which has been
stuck in design/review for quite some time. One could support these
panels using custom SoC-specific code, but there is a desire to use
common infra-structure rather than having each SoC vendor invent their
own code, hence the desire to wait for CDF.
* Hardware for which a full graphics driver is not yet available, and
the path to obtain one upstream isn't yet clear. For example, the
Raspberry Pi.
* Any hardware in early stages of upstreaming, before a full graphics
driver has been tackled. This driver can provide a graphical boot
console (even full X support) much earlier in the upstreaming process,
thus making new SoC or board support more generally useful earlier.
