There's a race window in xen_drop_mm_ref, where remote cpu may exit
dirty bitmap between the check on this cpu and the point where remote
cpu handles drop request. So in drop_other_mm_ref we need check
whether TLB state is still lazy before calling into leave_mm. This
bug is rarely observed in earlier kernel, but exaggerated by the
commit 831d52bc153971b70e64eccfbed2b232394f22f8
("x86, mm: avoid possible bogus tlb entries by clearing prev mm_cpumask after switching mm")
which clears bitmap after changing the TLB state. the call trace is as below:

There's no need to have table functions in one
file and all users in another, move the functions
to the right file and make them static. Also move
a static variable to the beginning of the file to

When sched_scan_stopped was called by the driver, mac80211 calls
cfg80211, which in turn was calling mac80211 back with a flag
"driver_initiated". This flag was used so that mac80211 would do the
necessary cleanup but would not call the driver. This was enough to
prevent the bounce back between the driver and mac80211, but not
between mac80211 and cfg80211.
To fix this, we now do the cleanup in mac80211 before calling
cfg80211. To help with locking issues, the workqueue was moved from
cfg80211 to mac80211.

The code here is only not racy because all the
places that assign the pointers it uses are
holding the sta_mtx as well as the key_mtx and
so can't race against this because this code
holds the sta_mtx. But that's not intuitive,
so fix it to hold the key_mtx.

The code in ieee80211_del_key() doesn't acquire the
key_mtx properly when it dereferences the keys. It
turns out that isn't actually necessary since the
key_mtx itself seems to be redundant since all key
manipulations are done under the RTNL, but as long
as we have the key_mtx we should use it the right
way too.

The code here to RCU-dereference a pointer that's
on the stack is totally pointless, RCU isn't magic
(like say Java's weak references are), so the code
can't work like whoever wrote it thought it might.
Remove it so readers don't get confused. Note that
it seems that a bug is there anyway: I don't see
any code that cancels the timer when a mesh path
struct is destroyed.

The XB113 cards are single band, 5 GHz-only, but the
default settings were configured to assume it was dual
band. Users of these cards then would see 2.4 GHz channels
but you would never get any scan results from these channels
given that the radio is not present.

When transmitting a frame, the transmitter waits a random number of
slots between 0 and cw. Thus, the contention time is (cw / 2) * t_slot
which we can represent instead as (cw * t_slot) >> 1. Also fix a few
other accounting bugs around contention time, and add comments.

Multiple virtual AP interfaces can currently try
to use different beacon intervals, but that just
leads to problems since it won't actually be done
that way by drivers. Return an error in this case
to make sure it won't be done wrong.
Also, ignore attempts to change the DTIM period
or beacon interval during the lifetime of the BSS.

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x1ba48): Section mismatch in reference from the function native_pagetable_reserve() to the function .init.text:memblock_x86_reserve_range()
The function native_pagetable_reserve() references

This is often because native_pagetable_reserve lacks a __init

This patch fixes the issue.

Introduce a new x86_init hook called pagetable_reserve that at the end
of init_memory_mapping is used to reserve a range of memory addresses for
the kernel pagetable pages we used and free the other ones.
On native it just calls memblock_x86_reserve_range while on xen it also
takes care of setting the spare memory previously allocated
for kernel pagetable pages from RO to RW, so that it can be used for
other purposes.
A detailed explanation of the reason why this hook is needed follows.
As a consequence of the commit:
commit 4b239f458c229de044d6905c2b0f9fe16ed9e01e
Author: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org>
Date: Fri Dec 17 16:58:28 2010 -0800
x86-64, mm: Put early page table high
at some point init_memory_mapping is going to reach the pagetable pages
area and map those pages too (mapping them as normal memory that falls
in the range of addresses passed to init_memory_mapping as argument).
Some of those pages are already pagetable pages (they are in the range
pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_end) therefore they are going to be mapped RO and
everything is fine.
Some of these pages are not pagetable pages yet (they fall in the range
pgt_buf_end-pgt_buf_top; for example the page at pgt_buf_end) so they
are going to be mapped RW. When these pages become pagetable pages and
are hooked into the pagetable, xen will find that the guest has already
a RW mapping of them somewhere and fail the operation.
The reason Xen requires pagetables to be RO is that the hypervisor needs
to verify that the pagetables are valid before using them. The validation
operations are called "pinning" (more details in arch/x86/xen/mmu.c).
In order to fix the issue we mark all the pages in the entire range
pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_top as RO, however when the pagetable allocation
is completed only the range pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_end is reserved by
init_memory_mapping. Hence the kernel is going to crash as soon as one
of the pages in the range pgt_buf_end-pgt_buf_top is reused (b/c those
ranges are RO).
For this reason we need a hook to reserve the kernel pagetable pages we
used and free the other ones so that they can be reused for other
purposes.
On native it just means calling memblock_x86_reserve_range, on Xen it
also means marking RW the pagetable pages that we allocated before but
that haven't been used before.
Another way to fix this is without using the hook is by adding a 'if
(xen_pv_domain)' in the 'init_memory_mapping' code and calling the Xen
counterpart, but that is just nasty.

read/write/ioctl on a fbcon file descriptor has traditionally used the
fbcon not when it was opened, but as it was at the time of the call.
That makes no sense, but the lack of sense is much more obvious now that
we properly ref-count the usage - it means that the ref-counting doesn't
actually protect operations we do on the frame buffer.
This changes it to look at the fb_info that we got at open time, but in
order to avoid using a frame buffer long after it has been unregistered,
we do verify that it is still current, and return -ENODEV if not.

This just adds the refcount and the new registration lock logic. It
does not (for example) actually change the read/write/ioctl routines to
actually use the frame buffer that was opened: those function still end
up alway susing whatever the current frame buffer is at the time of the
call.
Without this, if something holds the frame buffer open over a
framebuffer switch, the close() operation after the switch will access a
fb_info that has been free'd by the unregistering of the old frame
buffer.
(The read/write/ioctl operations will normally not cause problems,
because they will - illogically - pick up the new fbcon instead. But a
switch that happens just as one of those is going on might see problems
too, the window is just much smaller: one individual op rather than the
whole open-close sequence.)
This use-after-free is apparently fairly easily triggered by the Ubuntu
11.04 boot sequence.

We enabled write-combining for memory-mapped registers in commit
65f0b417dee94f779ce9b77102b7d73c93723b39, but inhibited it for the
MCDI shared memory where this is not supported. However,
write-combining mappings also allow read-reordering, which may also
be a problem.
I found that when an SFC9000-family controller is connected to an
Intel 3000 chipset, and write-combining is enabled, the controller
stops responding to PCIe read requests during driver initialisation
while the driver is polling for completion of an MCDI command. This
results in an NMI and system hang. Adding read memory barriers
between all reads to the shared memory area appears to reduce but not
eliminate the probability of this.
We have not yet established whether this is a bug in our BIU or in the
PCIe bridge. For now, work around by mapping the shared memory area
separately.

Move the smp_rmb after cpu_relax loop in read_seqlock and add
ACCESS_ONCE to make sure the test and return are consistent.
A multi-threaded core in the lab didn't like the update
from 2.6.35 to 2.6.36, to the point it would hang during
boot when multiple threads were active. Bisection showed
af5ab277ded04bd9bc6b048c5a2f0e7d70ef0867 (clockevents:
Remove the per cpu tick skew) as the culprit and it is
supported with stack traces showing xtime_lock waits including
tick_do_update_jiffies64 and/or update_vsyscall.
Experimentation showed the combination of cpu_relax and smp_rmb
was significantly slowing the progress of other threads sharing
the core, and this patch is effective in avoiding the hang.
A theory is the rmb is affecting the whole core while the
cpu_relax is causing a resource rebalance flush, together they
cause an interfernce cadance that is unbroken when the seqlock
reader has interrupts disabled.
At first I was confused why the refactor in
3c22cd5709e8143444a6d08682a87f4c57902df3 (kernel: optimise
seqlock) didn't affect this patch application, but after some
study that affected seqcount not seqlock. The new seqcount was
not factored back into the seqlock. I defer that the future.
While the removal of the timer interrupt offset created
contention for the xtime lock while a cpu does the
additonal work to update the system clock, the seqlock
implementation with the tight rmb spin loop goes back much
further, and is just waiting for the right trigger.

GDB's interrupt.exp test cases currenly fail on ARM. The problem is how do_signal
handled restarting interrupted system calls:
The entry.S assembler code determines that we come from a system call; and that
information is passed as "syscall" parameter to do_signal. That routine then
calls get_signal_to_deliver [*] and if a signal is to be delivered, calls into
handle_signal. If a system call is to be restarted either after the signal
handler returns, or if no handler is to be called in the first place, the PC
is updated after the get_signal_to_deliver call, either in handle_signal (if
we have a handler) or at the end of do_signal (otherwise).
Now the problem is that during [*], the call to get_signal_to_deliver, a ptrace
intercept may happen. During this intercept, the debugger may change registers,
including the PC. This is done by GDB if it wants to execute an "inferior call",
i.e. the execution of some code in the debugged program triggered by GDB.
To this purpose, GDB will save all registers, allocate a stack frame, set up
PC and arguments as appropriate for the call, and point the link register to
a dummy breakpoint instruction. Once the process is restarted, it will execute
the call and then trap back to the debugger, at which point GDB will restore
all registers and continue original execution.
This generally works fine. However, now consider what happens when GDB attempts
to do exactly that while the process was interrupted during execution of a to-be-
restarted system call: do_signal is called with the syscall flag set; it calls
get_signal_to_deliver, at which point the debugger takes over and changes the PC
to point to a completely different place. Now get_signal_to_deliver returns
without a signal to deliver; but now do_signal decides it should be restarting
a system call, and decrements the PC by 2 or 4 -- so it now points to 2 or 4
bytes before the function GDB wants to call -- which leads to a subsequent crash.
To fix this problem, two things need to be supported:
- do_signal must be able to recognize that get_signal_to_deliver changed the PC
to a different location, and skip the restart-syscall sequence
- once the debugger has restored all registers at the end of the inferior call
sequence, do_signal must recognize that *now* it needs to restart the pending
system call, even though it was now entered from a breakpoint instead of an
actual svc instruction
This set of issues is solved on other platforms, usually by one of two
mechanisms:
- The status information "do_signal is handling a system call that may need
restarting" is itself carried in some register that can be accessed via
ptrace. This is e.g. on Intel the "orig_eax" register; on Sparc the kernel
defines a magic extra bit in the flags register for this purpose.
This allows GDB to manage that state: reset it when doing an inferior call,
and restore it after the call is finished.
- On s390, do_signal transparently handles this problem without requiring
GDB interaction, by performing system call restarting in the following
way: first, adjust the PC as necessary for restarting the call. Then,
call get_signal_to_deliver; and finally just continue execution at the
PC. This way, if GDB does not change the PC, everything is as before.
If GDB *does* change the PC, execution will simply continue there --
and once GDB restores the PC it saved at that point, it will automatically
point to the *restarted* system call. (There is the minor twist how to
handle system calls that do *not* need restarting -- do_signal will undo
the PC change in this case, after get_signal_to_deliver has returned, and
only if ptrace did not change the PC during that call.)
Because there does not appear to be any obvious register to carry the
syscall-restart information on ARM, we'd either have to introduce a new
artificial ptrace register just for that purpose, or else handle the issue
transparently like on s390. The patch below implements the second option;
using this patch makes the interrupt.exp test cases pass on ARM, with no
regression in the GDB test suite otherwise.

The SPARSEMEM code allocates memmap entries only for sections which are
present (i.e. those which contain some valid memory). The membank checks
in free_unused_memmap do not take this into account and can incorrectly
attempt to free memory which is not allocated, resulting in a BUG() in
the bootmem code.
However, if memory is configured as follows:
|<----section---->|<----hole---->|<----section---->|
+--------+--------+--------------+--------+--------+
| bank 0 | unused | | bank 1 | unused |
+--------+--------+--------------+--------+--------+
where a bank only occupies part of a section, the memmap allocated for
the remainder of the section *can* be freed.
This patch modifies the checks in free_unused_memmap so that only valid
memmap entries are considered for removal.

Testing the shmem_swaplist replacements for igrab() revealed another bug:
writes to /dev/loop0 on a tmpfs file which fills its filesystem were
sometimes failing with "Buffer I/O error"s.
These came from ENOSPC failures of shmem_getpage(), when racing with
swapoff: the same could happen when racing with another shmem_getpage(),
pulling the page in from swap in between our find_lock_page() and our
taking the info->lock (though not in the single-threaded loop case).
This is unacceptable, and surprising that I've not noticed it before:
it dates back many years, but (presumably) was made a lot easier to
reproduce in 2.6.36, which sited a page preallocation in the race window.
Fix it by rechecking the page cache before settling on an ENOSPC error.

The use of igrab() in swapoff's shmem_unuse_inode() is just as vulnerable
to umount as that in shmem_writepage().
Fix this instance by extending the protection of shmem_swaplist_mutex
right across shmem_unuse_inode(): while it's on the list, the inode cannot
be evicted (and the filesystem cannot be unmounted) without
shmem_evict_inode() taking that mutex to remove it from the list.
But since shmem_writepage() might take that mutex, we should avoid making
memory allocations or memcg charges while holding it: prepare them at the
outer level in shmem_unuse(). When mem_cgroup_cache_charge() was
originally placed, we didn't know until that point that the page from swap
was actually a shmem page; but nowadays it's noted in the swap_map, so
we're safe to charge upfront. For the radix_tree, do as is done in
shmem_getpage(): preload upfront, but don't pin to the cpu; so we make a
habit of refreshing the node pool, but might dip into GFP_NOWAIT reserves
on occasion if subsequently preempted.
With the allocation and charge moved out from shmem_unuse_inode(),
we can also hold index map and info->lock over from finding the entry.

shmem_writepage() calls igrab() on the inode for the page which came from
page reclaim, to add it later into shmem_swaplist for swapoff operation.
This igrab() can race with super-block deactivating process:

pageout() tmpfs_fs_type->kill_sb()
shmem_writepage() kill_litter_super()
generic_shutdown_super()

This igrap-iput pair was added in commit 1b1b32f2c6f6 "tmpfs: fix
shmem_swaplist races" based on incorrect assumptions: igrab() protects the
inode from concurrent eviction by deletion, but it does nothing to protect
it from concurrent unmounting, which goes ahead despite the raised
i_count.
So this use of igrab() was wrong all along, but the race made much worse
in 2.6.37 when commit 63997e98a3be "split invalidate_inodes()" replaced
two attempts at invalidate_inodes() by a single evict_inodes().
Konstantin posted a plausible patch, raising sb->s_active too: I'm unsure
whether it was correct or not; but burnt once by igrab(), I am sure that
we don't want to rely more deeply upon externals here.
Fix it by adding the inode to shmem_swaplist earlier, while the page lock
on page in page cache still secures the inode against eviction, without
artifically raising i_count. It was originally added later because
shmem_unuse_inode() is liable to remove an inode from the list while it's
unswapped; but we can guard against that by taking spinlock before
dropping mutex.
