__ioremap_caller() calls region_is_ram() to walk through the
iomem_resource table to check if a target range is in RAM, which was
added to improve the lookup performance over page_is_ram() (commit
906e36c5c7 "x86: use optimized ioresource lookup in ioremap
function"). page_is_ram() was no longer used when this change was
added, though.
__ioremap_caller() then calls walk_system_ram_range(), which had
replaced page_is_ram() to improve the lookup performance (commit
c81c8a1eee "x86, ioremap: Speed up check for RAM pages").
Since both checks walk through the same iomem_resource table for
the same purpose, there is no need to call both functions.
Aside of that walk_system_ram_range() is the only useful check at the
moment because region_is_ram() always returns -1 due to an
implementation bug. That bug in region_is_ram() cannot be fixed
without breaking existing ioremap callers, which rely on the subtle
difference of walk_system_ram_range() versus non page aligned ranges.
Once these offending callers are fixed we can use region_is_ram() and
remove walk_system_ram_range().

__ioremap_check_ram() has a WARN_ONCE() which is emitted when the
given pfn range is not RAM. The warning is bogus in two aspects:
- it never triggers since walk_system_ram_range() only calls
__ioremap_check_ram() for RAM ranges.
- the warning message is wrong as it says: "ioremap on RAM' after it
established that the pfn range is not RAM.
Move the WARN_ONCE() to __ioremap_caller(), and update the message to
include the address range so we get an actual warning when something
tries to ioremap system RAM.

- Fix a bug in the Common Platform Error Record (CPER) driver that

structure to be declared invalid. (Tony Luck)
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
On built-in kernels this warning will always splat, even if no ivtvfb
hardware is present, as this is part of the module init:
if (WARN(pat_enabled(),
"ivtvfb needs PAT disabled, boot with nopat kernel parameter\n")) {
Fix that by shifting the PAT requirement check out under the code
that does the "quasi-probe" for the device.
This device driver relies on an existing driver to find its own devices,
it looks for that device driver and its own found devices, then uses
driver_for_each_device() to try to see if it can probe each of those
devices as a frambuffer device with ivtvfb_init_card().
We tuck the PAT requiremenet check then on the ivtvfb_init_card() call
making the check at least require an ivtv device present before
complaining.

MPX setups private anonymous mapping, but uses vma->vm_ops too.
This can confuse core VM, as it relies on vm->vm_ops to
distinguish file VMAs from anonymous.
As result we will get SIGBUS, because handle_pte_fault() thinks
it's file VMA without vm_ops->fault and it doesn't know how to
handle the situation properly.
Let's fix that by not setting ->vm_ops.
We don't really need ->vm_ops here: MPX VMA can be detected with
VM_MPX flag. And vma_merge() will not merge MPX VMA with non-MPX
VMA, because ->vm_flags won't match.
The only thing left is name of VMA. I'm not sure if it's part of
ABI, or we can just drop it. The patch keep it by providing
arch_vma_name() on x86.

Migrate avr32 driver to the new 'set-state' interface provided by
clockevents core, the earlier 'set-mode' interface is marked obsolete
now.
This also enables us to implement callbacks for new states of clockevent
devices, for example: ONESHOT_STOPPED.
We want to call cpu_idle_poll_ctrl() in shutdown only if we were in
oneshot or resume state earlier. Create another variable to save this
information and check that in shutdown callback.

The FPU rewrite removed the dynamic allocations of 'struct fpu'.
But, this potentially wastes massive amounts of memory (2k per
task on systems that do not have AVX-512 for instance).
Instead of having a separate slab, this patch just appends the
space that we need to the 'task_struct' which we dynamically
allocate already. This saves from doing an extra slab
allocation at fork().
The only real downside here is that we have to stick everything
and the end of the task_struct. But, I think the
BUILD_BUG_ON()s I stuck in there should keep that from being too
fragile.

Currently, we set wrong gfp_mask to page_owner info in case of isolated
freepage by compaction and split page. It causes incorrect mixed
pageblock report that we can get from '/proc/pagetypeinfo'. This metric
is really useful to measure fragmentation effect so should be accurate.
This patch fixes it by setting correct information.
Without this patch, after kernel build workload is finished, number of
mixed pageblock is 112 among roughly 210 movable pageblocks.
But, with this fix, output shows that mixed pageblock is just 57.

fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group_flags() can race with
fsnotify_destroy_marks() so when fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked() drops
mark_mutex, a mark from the list iterated by
fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group_flags() can be freed and we dereference free
memory in the loop there.
Fix the problem by keeping mark_mutex held in
fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked(). The reason why we drop that mutex is that
we need to call a ->freeing_mark() callback which may acquire mark_mutex
again. To avoid this and similar lock inversion issues, we move the call
to ->freeing_mark() callback to the kthread destroying the mark.

/proc/*/cmdline code checks if it should look at ENVP area by checking
last byte of ARGV area:
rv = access_remote_vm(mm, arg_end - 1, &c, 1, 0);
if (rv <= 0)
goto out_free_page;
If ARGV is somehow made empty (by doing execve(..., NULL, ...) or
manually setting ->arg_start and ->arg_end to equal values), the decision
will be based on byte which doesn't even belong to ARGV/ENVP.
So, quickly check if ARGV area is empty and report 0 to match previous
behaviour.

A hexdump with a buf not aligned to the groupsize causes
non-naturally-aligned memory accesses. This was causing a kernel panic
on the processor BlackFin BF527, when such an unaligned buffer was fed
by the function ubifs_scanned_corruption in fs/ubifs/scan.c .
To fix this, change accesses to the contents of the buffer so they go
through get_unaligned(). This change should be harmless to unaligned-
access-capable architectures, and any performance hit should be anyway
dwarfed by the snprintf() processing time.

As suggested by Geert Uytterhoeven, this could be cleaned through the use
of a generic header file included via each per architecture

The PowerPC architecture is not impacted here since this architecture has

Some modules call config_item_init_type_name() and config_group_init_type_name()
with parameter "name" directly controlled by userspace. These two
functions call config_item_set_name() with this name used as a format
string, which can be used to leak information such as content of the
stack to userspace.
For example, make_netconsole_target() in netconsole module calls
config_item_init_type_name() with the name of a newly-created directory.
This means that the following commands give some unexpected output, with
configfs mounted in /sys/kernel/config/ and on a system with a
configured eth0 ethernet interface:
# modprobe netconsole
# mkdir /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/target_%lx
# echo eth0 > /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/target_%lx/dev_name
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/target_%lx/enabled
# echo eth0 > /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/target_%lx/dev_name
# dmesg |tail -n1
[ 142.697668] netconsole: target (target_ffffffffc0ae8080) is
enabled, disable to update parameters
The directory name is correct but %lx has been interpreted in the
internal item name, displayed here in the error message used by
store_dev_name() in drivers/net/netconsole.c.
To fix this, update every caller of config_item_set_name to use "%s"
when operating on untrusted input.
This issue was found using -Wformat-security gcc flag, once a __printf
attribute has been added to config_item_set_name().

Using __printf attributes helps to detect several format string issues
at compile time (even though -Wformat-security is currently disabled in
Makefile). For example it can detect when formatting a pointer as a
number, like the issue fixed in commit a3fa71c40f ("wl18xx: show
rx_frames_per_rates as an array as it really is"), or when the arguments
do not match the format string, c.f. for example commit 5ce1aca814
("reiserfs: fix __RASSERT format string").
To prevent similar bugs in the future, add a __printf attribute to every
function prototype which needs one in include/linux/ and lib/. These
functions were mostly found by using gcc's -Wsuggest-attribute=format
flag.
