Linus Torvalds d4c6fa73fe Merge tag 'stable/for-linus-3.4-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen
Pull xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 "which has three neat features:

   - PV multiconsole support, so that there can be hvc1, hvc2, etc; This
     can be used in HVM and in PV mode.

   - P-state and C-state power management driver that uploads said power
     management data to the hypervisor.  It also inhibits cpufreq
     scaling drivers to load so that only the hypervisor can make power
     management decisions - fixing a weird perf bug.

     There is one thing in the Kconfig that you won't like: "default y
     if (X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ = y || X86_POWERNOW_K8 = y)" (note, that it
     all depends on CONFIG_XEN which depends on CONFIG_PARAVIRT which by
     default is off).  I've a fix to convert that boolean expression
     into "default m" which I am going to post after the cpufreq git
     pull - as the two patches to make this work depend on a fix in Dave
     Jones's tree.

   - Function Level Reset (FLR) support in the Xen PCI backend.

  Fixes:

   - Kconfig dependencies for Xen PV keyboard and video
   - Compile warnings and constify fixes
   - Change over to use percpu_xxx instead of this_cpu_xxx"

Fix up trivial conflicts in drivers/tty/hvc/hvc_xen.c due to changes to
a removed commit.

Linus Torvalds be53bfdb80 Merge branch 'drm-next' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux
Pull drm main changes from Dave Airlie:
 "This is the main drm pull request, I'm probably going to send two more
  smaller ones, will explain below.

  This contains a patch that is also in the fbdev tree, but it should be
  the same patch, it added an API for hot unplugging framebuffer
  devices, and I need that API for a new driver.

  It also contains some changes to the i2c tree which Jean has acked,
  and one change to moorestown platform stuff in x86.

  Highlights:
   - new drivers: UDL driver for USB displaylink devices, kms only,
     should support correct hotplug operations.
   - core: i2c speedups + better hotplug support, EDID overriding via
     firmware interface - allows user to load a firmware for a broken
     monitor/kvm from userspace, it even has documentation for it.
   - exynos: new HDMI audio + hdmi 1.4 + virtual output driver
   - gma500: code cleanup
   - radeon: cleanups, CS optimisations, streamout support and pageflip
     fix
   - nouveau: NVD9 displayport support + more reclocking work
   - i915: re-enabling GMBUS, finish gpu patch (might help hibernation
     who knows), missed irq fixes, stencil tiling fixes, interlaced
     support, aliasesd PPGTT support for SNB/IVB, swizzling for SNB/IVB,
     semaphore fixes

  As well as the usual bunch of cleanups and fixes all over the place.

  I've got two things I'd like to merge a bit later:

   a) AMD support for all their new radeonhd 7000 series GPU and APUs.
      AMD dropped this a bit late due to insane internal review
      processes, (please AMD just follow Intel and let open source guys
      ship stuff early) however I don't want to penalise people who own
      this hardware (since its been on sale for 3-4 months and GPU hw
      doesn't exactly have a lifetime in years) and consign them to
      using closed drivers for longer than necessary.  The changes are
      well contained and just plug into the driver new gpu functionality
      so they should be fairly regression proof.  I just want to give
      them a bit of a run on the hw AMD kindly sent me.

   b) drm prime/dma-buf interface code.  This is just infrastructure
      code to expose the dma-buf stuff to drm drivers and to userspace.
      I'm not planning on pushing any driver support in this cycle
      (except maybe exynos), but I'd like to get the infrastructure code
      in so for the next cycle I can start getting the driver support
      into the individual drivers.  We have started driver support for
      i915, nouveau and udl along with I think exynos and omap in
      staging.  However this code relies on the dma-buf tree being
      pulled into your tree first since it needs the latest interfaces
      from that tree.  I'll push to get that tree sent asap.

  (oh and any warnings you see in i915 are gcc's fault from what anyone
  can see)."

Fix up trivial conflicts in arch/x86/platform/mrst/mrst.c due to the new
msic_thermal_platform_data() thermal function being added next to the
tc35876x_platform_data() i2c device function..

Andrea Arcangeli 1a5a9906d4 mm: thp: fix pmd_bad() triggering in code paths holding mmap_sem read mode
In some cases it may happen that pmd_none_or_clear_bad() is called with
the mmap_sem hold in read mode.  In those cases the huge page faults can
allocate hugepmds under pmd_none_or_clear_bad() and that can trigger a
false positive from pmd_bad() that will not like to see a pmd
materializing as trans huge.

It's not khugepaged causing the problem, khugepaged holds the mmap_sem
in write mode (and all those sites must hold the mmap_sem in read mode
to prevent pagetables to go away from under them, during code review it
seems vm86 mode on 32bit kernels requires that too unless it's
restricted to 1 thread per process or UP builds).  The race is only with
the huge pagefaults that can convert a pmd_none() into a
pmd_trans_huge().

Effectively all these pmd_none_or_clear_bad() sites running with
mmap_sem in read mode are somewhat speculative with the page faults, and
the result is always undefined when they run simultaneously.  This is
probably why it wasn't common to run into this.  For example if the
madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) runs zap_page_range() shortly before the page
fault, the hugepage will not be zapped, if the page fault runs first it
will be zapped.

Altering pmd_bad() not to error out if it finds hugepmds won't be enough
to fix this, because zap_pmd_range would then proceed to call
zap_pte_range (which would be incorrect if the pmd become a
pmd_trans_huge()).

The simplest way to fix this is to read the pmd in the local stack
(regardless of what we read, no need of actual CPU barriers, only
compiler barrier needed), and be sure it is not changing under the code
that computes its value.  Even if the real pmd is changing under the
value we hold on the stack, we don't care.  If we actually end up in
zap_pte_range it means the pmd was not none already and it was not huge,
and it can't become huge from under us (khugepaged locking explained
above).

All we need is to enforce that there is no way anymore that in a code
path like below, pmd_trans_huge can be false, but pmd_none_or_clear_bad
can run into a hugepmd.  The overhead of a barrier() is just a compiler
tweak and should not be measurable (I only added it for THP builds).  I
don't exclude different compiler versions may have prevented the race
too by caching the value of *pmd on the stack (that hasn't been
verified, but it wouldn't be impossible considering
pmd_none_or_clear_bad, pmd_bad, pmd_trans_huge, pmd_none are all inlines
and there's no external function called in between pmd_trans_huge and
pmd_none_or_clear_bad).

		if (pmd_trans_huge(*pmd)) {

Because this race condition could be exercised without special
privileges this was reported in CVE-2012-1179.

The race was identified and fully explained by Ulrich who debugged it.
I'm quoting his accurate explanation below, for reference.

      mapcount 0 page_mapcount 1
      kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:1384!

    At some point prior to the panic, a "bad pmd ..." message similar to the
    following is logged on the console:

      mm/memory.c:145: bad pmd ffff8800376e1f98(80000000314000e7).

    The "bad pmd ..." message is logged by pmd_clear_bad() before it clears
    the page's PMD table entry.

        143 void pmd_clear_bad(pmd_t *pmd)
        144 {
    ->  145         pmd_ERROR(*pmd);
        146         pmd_clear(pmd);
        147 }

    After the PMD table entry has been cleared, there is an inconsistency
    between the actual number of PMD table entries that are mapping the page
    and the page's map count (_mapcount field in struct page). When the page
    is subsequently reclaimed, __split_huge_page() detects this inconsistency.

       1381         if (mapcount != page_mapcount(page))
       1382                 printk(KERN_ERR "mapcount %d page_mapcount %d\n",
       1383                        mapcount, page_mapcount(page));
    -> 1384         BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page));

    The root cause of the problem is a race of two threads in a multithreaded
    process. Thread B incurs a page fault on a virtual address that has never
    been accessed (PMD entry is zero) while Thread A is executing an madvise()
    system call on a virtual address within the same 2 MB (huge page) range.

    The mmap_sem does not prevent the race because both threads are acquiring
    it in shared mode (down_read).  Thread B holds the page_table_lock while
    the page's map count and PMD table entry are updated.  However, Thread A
    does not synchronize on that lock.

Linus Torvalds c207f3a431 Merge tag 'irqdomain-for-linus' of git://git.secretlab.ca/git/linux-2.6
Pull irq_domain support for all architectures from Grant Likely:
 "Generialize powerpc's irq_host as irq_domain

  This branch takes the PowerPC irq_host infrastructure (reverse mapping
  from Linux IRQ numbers to hardware irq numbering), generalizes it,
  renames it to irq_domain, and makes it available to all architectures.

  Originally the plan has been to create an all-new irq_domain
  implementation which addresses some of the powerpc shortcomings such
  as not handling 1:1 mappings well, but doing that proved to be far
  more difficult and invasive than generalizing the working code and
  refactoring it in-place.  So, this branch rips out the 'new'
  irq_domain and replaces it with the modified powerpc version (in a
  fully bisectable way of course).  It converts all users over to the
  new API and makes irq_domain selectable on any architecture.

  No architecture is forced to enable irq_domain, but the infrastructure
  is required for doing OpenFirmware style irq translations.  It will
  even work on SPARC even though SPARC has it's own mechanism for
  translating irqs at boot time.  MIPS, microblaze, embedded x86 and c6x
  are converted too.

  The resulting irq_domain code is probably still too verbose and can be
  optimized more, but that can be done incrementally and is a task for
  follow-on patches."
