a2a8474c3f exec: do not sleep in TASK_TRACED under ->cred_guard_mutex
Tom Horsley reports that his debugger hangs when it tries to read
/proc/pid_of_tracee/maps, this happens since

	"mm_for_maps: take ->cred_guard_mutex to fix the race with exec"
	04b836cbf19e885f8366bccb2e4b0474346c02d

commit in 2.6.31.

But the root of the problem lies in the fact that do_execve() path calls
tracehook_report_exec() which can stop if the tracer sets PT_TRACE_EXEC.

The tracee must not sleep in TASK_TRACED holding this mutex.  Even if we
remove ->cred_guard_mutex from mm_for_maps() and proc_pid_attr_write(),
another task doing PTRACE_ATTACH should not hang until it is killed or the
tracee resumes.

With this patch do_execve() does not use ->cred_guard_mutex directly and
we do not hold it throughout, instead:

	- introduce prepare_bprm_creds() helper, it locks the mutex
	  and calls prepare_exec_creds() to initialize bprm->cred.

	- install_exec_creds() drops the mutex after commit_creds(),
	  and thus before tracehook_report_exec()->ptrace_stop().

	  or, if exec fails,

	  free_bprm() drops this mutex when bprm->cred != NULL which
	  indicates install_exec_creds() was not called.

dd5d241ea9 page-allocator: always change pageblock ownership when anti-fragmentation is disabled
On low-memory systems, anti-fragmentation gets disabled as fragmentation
cannot be avoided on a sufficiently large boundary to be worthwhile.  Once
disabled, there is a period of time when all the pageblocks are marked
MOVABLE and the expectation is that they get marked UNMOVABLE at each call
to __rmqueue_fallback().

However, when MAX_ORDER is large the pageblocks do not change ownership
because the normal criteria are not met.  This has the effect of
prematurely breaking up too many large contiguous blocks.  This is most
serious on NOMMU systems which depend on high-order allocations to boot.
This patch causes pageblocks to change ownership on every fallback when
anti-fragmentation is disabled.  This prevents the large blocks being
prematurely broken up.

This is a fix to commit 49255c619f [page
allocator: move check for disabled anti-fragmentation out of fastpath] and
the problem affects 2.6.31-rc8.

a190887b58 nommu: fix error handling in do_mmap_pgoff()
Fix the error handling in do_mmap_pgoff().  If do_mmap_shared_file() or
do_mmap_private() fail, we jump to the error_put_region label at which
point we cann __put_nommu_region() on the region - but we haven't yet
added the region to the tree, and so __put_nommu_region() may BUG
because the region tree is empty or it may corrupt the region tree.

To get around this, we can afford to add the region to the region tree
before calling do_mmap_shared_file() or do_mmap_private() as we keep
nommu_region_sem write-locked, so no-one can race with us by seeing a
transient region.

4e49627b9b workqueues: introduce __cancel_delayed_work()
cancel_delayed_work() has to use del_timer_sync() to guarantee the timer
function is not running after return.  But most users doesn't actually
need this, and del_timer_sync() has problems: it is not useable from
interrupt, and it depends on every lock which could be taken from irq.

Introduce __cancel_delayed_work() which calls del_timer() instead.

The immediate reason for this patch is
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13757
but hopefully this helper makes sense anyway.

As for 13757 bug, actually we need requeue_delayed_work(), but its
semantics are not yet clear.

Merge this patch early to resolves cross-tree interdependencies between
input and infiniband.

60c3be387b ata_piix: parallel scanning on PATA needs an extra locking
Commit log for commit 517d3cc15b
("[libata] ata_piix: Enable parallel scan") says:

    This patch turns on parallel scanning for the ata_piix driver.
    This driver is used on most netbooks (no AHCI for cheap storage it seems).
    The scan is the dominating time factor in the kernel boot for these
    devices; with this flag it gets cut in half for the device I used
    for testing (eeepc).
    Alan took a look at the driver source and concluded that it ought to be safe
    to do for this driver.  Alan has also checked with the hardware team.

and it is all true but once we put all things together additional
constraints for PATA controllers show up (some hardware registers
have per-host not per-port atomicity) and we risk misprogramming
the controller.

I used the following test to check whether the issue is real:

  @@ -736,8 +736,20 @@ static void piix_set_piomode(struct ata_
   			(timings[pio][1] << 8);
   	}
   	pci_write_config_word(dev, master_port, master_data);
  -	if (is_slave)
  +	if (is_slave) {
  +		if (ap->port_no == 0) {
  +			u8 tmp = slave_data;
  +
  +			while (slave_data == tmp) {
  +				pci_read_config_byte(dev, slave_port, &tmp);
  +				msleep(50);
  +			}
  +
  +			dev_printk(KERN_ERR, &dev->dev, "PATA parallel scan "
  +				   "race detected\n");
  +		}
   		pci_write_config_byte(dev, slave_port, slave_data);
  +	}

   	/* Ensure the UDMA bit is off - it will be turned back on if
   	   UDMA is selected */

and it indeed triggered the error message.

Lets fix all such races by adding an extra locking to ->set_piomode
and ->set_dmamode methods for PATA controllers.

[ Alan: would be better to take the host lock in libata-core for these
  cases so that we fix all the adapters in one swoop.  "Looks fine as a
  temproary quickfix tho" ]

a09ba7faf7 drm/i915: Fix CPU-spinning hangs related to fence usage by using an LRU.
The lack of a proper LRU was partially worked around by taking the fence
from the object containing the oldest seqno.  But if there are multiple
objects inactive, then they don't have seqnos and the first fence reg
among them would be chosen.  If you were trying to copy data between two
mappings, this could result in each page fault stealing the fence from
the other argument, and your application hanging.

ea6bff3685 modules: Fix build error in the !CONFIG_KALLSYMS case
> James Bottomley (1):

-tip testing found that this patch breaks the build on x86 if
CONFIG_KALLSYMS is disabled:

 kernel/module.c: In function ‘load_module’:
 kernel/module.c:2367: error: ‘struct module’ has no member named ‘sect_attrs’
 distcc[8269] ERROR: compile kernel/module.c on ph/32 failed

Commit 1b364bf misses the fact that section attributes are only
built and dealt with if kallsyms is enabled. The patch below fixes
this.

( note, technically speaking this should depend on CONFIG_SYSFS as
  well but this patch is correct too and keeps the #ifdef less
  intrusive - in the KALLSYMS && !SYSFS case the code is a NOP. )

1b364bf438 module: workaround duplicate section names
The root cause is a duplicate section name (.text); is this legal?
[ Amerigo Wang: "AFAIK, yes." ]

However, there's a problem with commit
6d76013381 in that if you fail to allocate
a mod->sect_attrs (in this case it's null because of the duplication),
it still gets used without checking in add_notes_attrs()

This should fix it

[ This patch leaves other problems, particularly the sections directory,
  but recent parisc toolchains seem to produce these modules and this
  prevents a crash and is a minimal change -- RR ]

0a80fb1023 xenfb: connect to backend before registering fb
As soon as the framebuffer is registered, our methods may be called by the
kernel. This leads to a crash as xenfb_refresh() gets called before we have
the irq.

Connect to the backend before registering our framebuffer with the kernel.

4f8ee2c9cc lmb: Remove __init from lmb_end_of_DRAM()
We call lmb_end_of_DRAM() to test whether a DMA mask is ok on a machine
without IOMMU, but this function is marked as __init.

I don't think there's a clean way to get the top of RAM max_pfn doesn't
appear to include highmem or I missed (or we have a bug :-) so for now,
let's just avoid having a broken 2.6.31 by making this function
non-__init and we can revisit later.

9886e836a6 AFS: Stop readlink() on AFS crashing due to NULL 'file' ptr
kAFS crashes when asked to read a symbolic link because page_getlink()
passes a NULL file pointer to read_mapping_page(), but afs_readpage()
expects a file pointer from which to extract a key.

Modify afs_readpage() to request the appropriate key from the calling
process's keyrings if a file struct is not supplied with one attached.

0db501bd06 inotify: Ensure we alwasy write the terminating NULL.
Before the rewrite copy_event_to_user always wrote a terqminating '\0'
byte to user space after the filename.  Since the rewrite that
terminating byte was skipped if your filename is exactly a multiple of
event_size.  Ouch!

So add one byte to name_size before we round up and use clear_user to
set userspace to zero like /dev/zero does instead of copying the
strange nul_inotify_event.  I can't quite convince myself len_to_zero
will never exceed 16 and even if it doesn't clear_user should be more
efficient and a more accurate reflection of what the code is trying to
do.

dead537dd8 inotify: fix locking around inotify watching in the idr
The are races around the idr storage of inotify watches.  It's possible
that a watch could be found from sys_inotify_rm_watch() in the idr, but it
could be removed from the idr before that code does it's removal.  Move the
locking and the refcnt'ing so that these have to happen atomically.

cf4374267f inotify: do not BUG on idr entries at inotify destruction
If an inotify watch is left in the idr when an fsnotify group is destroyed
this will lead to a BUG.  This is not a dangerous situation and really
indicates a programming bug and leak of memory.  This patch changes it to
use a WARN and a printk rather than killing people's boxes.
