Guenter Roeck c4e18497d8 linux/kernel.h: fix DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST with unsigned divisors
Commit 263a523d18 ("linux/kernel.h: Fix warning seen with W=1 due to
change in DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST") fixes a warning seen with W=1 due to
change in DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST.

Unfortunately, the C compiler converts divide operations with unsigned
divisors to unsigned, even if the dividend is signed and negative (for
example, -10 / 5U = 858993457).  The C standard says "If one operand has
unsigned int type, the other operand is converted to unsigned int", so
the compiler is not to blame.  As a result, DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(0, 2U) and
similar operations now return bad values, since the automatic conversion
of expressions such as "0 - 2U/2" to unsigned was not taken into
account.

Fix by checking for the divisor variable type when deciding which
operation to perform.  This fixes DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(0, 2U), but still
returns bad values for negative dividends divided by unsigned divisors.
Mark the latter case as unsupported.

One observed effect of this problem is that the s2c_hwmon driver reports
a value of 4198403 instead of 0 if the ADC reads 0.

Other impact is unpredictable.  Problem is seen if the divisor is an
unsigned variable or constant and the dividend is less than (divisor/2).

Tejun Heo 154b454eda memcg: don't register hotcpu notifier from ->css_alloc()
Commit 648bb56d07 ("cgroup: lock cgroup_mutex in cgroup_init_subsys()")
made cgroup_init_subsys() grab cgroup_mutex before invoking
->css_alloc() for the root css.  Because memcg registers hotcpu notifier
from ->css_alloc() for the root css, this introduced circular locking
dependency between cgroup_mutex and cpu hotplug.

Fix it by moving hotcpu notifier registration to a subsys initcall.

Andrew Morton 5abe257af8 revert "rtc: recycle id when unloading a rtc driver"
Revert commit 2830a6d201.

We already perform the ida_simple_remove() in rtc_device_release(),
which is an appropriate place.  Commit 2830a6d20 ("rtc: recycle id when
unloading a rtc driver") caused the kernel to emit

	ida_remove called for id=0 which is not allocated.

warnings when rtc_device_release() tries to release an alread-released
ID.

Let's restore things to their previous state and then work out why
Vincent's kernel wasn't calling rtc_device_release() - presumably a bug
in a specific sub-driver.

Kees Cook b66c598401 exec: do not leave bprm->interp on stack
If a series of scripts are executed, each triggering module loading via
unprintable bytes in the script header, kernel stack contents can leak
into the command line.

Normally execution of binfmt_script and binfmt_misc happens recursively.
However, when modules are enabled, and unprintable bytes exist in the
bprm->buf, execution will restart after attempting to load matching
binfmt modules.  Unfortunately, the logic in binfmt_script and
binfmt_misc does not expect to get restarted.  They leave bprm->interp
pointing to their local stack.  This means on restart bprm->interp is
left pointing into unused stack memory which can then be copied into the
userspace argv areas.

After additional study, it seems that both recursion and restart remains
the desirable way to handle exec with scripts, misc, and modules.  As
such, we need to protect the changes to interp.

This changes the logic to require allocation for any changes to the
bprm->interp.  To avoid adding a new kmalloc to every exec, the default
value is left as-is.  Only when passing through binfmt_script or
binfmt_misc does an allocation take place.

For a proof of concept, see DoTest.sh from:

Zhenzhong Duan 9f9c9cbb60 drivers/firmware/dmi_scan.c: fetch dmi version from SMBIOS if it exists
The right dmi version is in SMBIOS if it's zero in DMI region

This issue was originally found from an oracle bug.
One customer noticed system UUID doesn't match between dmidecode & uek2.

 - HP ProLiant BL460c G6 :
   # cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_uuid
   00000000-0000-4C48-3031-4D5030333531
   # dmidecode | grep -i uuid
   UUID: 00000000-0000-484C-3031-4D5030333531

From SMBIOS 2.6 on, spec use little-endian encoding for UUID other than
network byte order.

So we need to get dmi version to distinguish.  If version is 0.0, the
real version is taken from the SMBIOS version.  This is part of original
kernel comment in code.

Sonny Rao c8b74c2f66 mm: fix calculation of dirtyable memory
The system uses global_dirtyable_memory() to calculate number of
dirtyable pages/pages that can be allocated to the page cache.  A bug
causes an underflow thus making the page count look like a big unsigned
number.  This in turn confuses the dirty writeback throttling to
aggressively write back pages as they become dirty (usually 1 page at a
time).  This generally only affects systems with highmem because the
underflowed count gets subtracted from the global count of dirtyable
memory.

The problem was introduced with v3.2-4896-gab8fabd

Fix is to ensure we don't get an underflowed total of either highmem or
global dirtyable memory.

Jeff Layton c6a9428401 vfs: fix renameat to retry on ESTALE errors
...as always, rename is the messiest of the bunch. We have to track
whether to retry or not via a separate flag since the error handling
is already quite complex.

Jeff Layton b9d6ba94b8 vfs: add a retry_estale helper function to handle retries on ESTALE
This function is expected to be called from path-based syscalls to help
them decide whether to try the lookup and call again in the event that
they got an -ESTALE return back on an earier try.

Currently, we only retry the call once on an ESTALE error, but in the
event that we decide that that's not enough in the future, we should be
able to change the logic in this helper without too much effort.

Al Viro 21e89c0c48 Merge branch 'fscache' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs into for-linus 2012-12-20 18:49:14 -05:00
NeilBrown b911a6bdee vfs: d_obtain_alias() needs to use "/" as default name.
NFS appears to use d_obtain_alias() to create the root dentry rather than
d_make_root.  This can cause 'prepend_path()' to complain that the root
has a weird name if an NFS filesystem is lazily unmounted.  e.g.  if
"/mnt" is an NFS mount then

 { cd /mnt; umount -l /mnt ; ls -l /proc/self/cwd; }

will cause a WARN message like
   WARNING: at /home/git/linux/fs/dcache.c:2624 prepend_path+0x1d7/0x1e0()
   ...
   Root dentry has weird name <>

to appear in kernel logs.

So change d_obtain_alias() to use "/" rather than "" as the anonymous
name.
