041b5eac25 drivers/ata: use resource_size
Use the function resource_size, which reduces the chance of introducing
off-by-one errors in calculating the resource size.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

// <smpl>

struct resource *res;
@@

- (res->end - res->start) + 1

0d03d59d9b md: Fix "strchr" [drivers/md/dm-log-userspace.ko] undefined!
Commit b8313b6da7 ("dm log: remove incorrect
field from userspace table output") added a call to strstr() with a
single-character "needle" string parameter.

Unfortunately some versions of gcc replace such calls to strstr() by calls
to strchr() behind our back.  This causes linking errors if strchr() is
defined as an inline function in <asm/string.h> (e.g. on m68k):

| WARNING: "strchr" [drivers/md/dm-log-userspace.ko] undefined!

Avoid this by explicitly calling strchr() instead.

e1f8450854 sched: Fix sched::sched_stat_wait tracepoint field
This weird perf trace output:

  cc1-9943  [001]  2802.059479616: sched_stat_wait: task: as:9944 wait: 2801938766276 [ns]

Is caused by setting one component field of the delta to zero
a bit too early. Move it to later.

( Note, this does not affect the NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS interactivity bug,
  it's just a reporting bug in essence. )

3f2aa307c4 sched: Disable NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS for now
Nikos Chantziaras and Jens Axboe reported that turning off
NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS improves desktop interactivity visibly.

Nikos described his experiences the following way:

  " With this setting, I can do "nice -n 19 make -j20" and
    still have a very smooth desktop and watch a movie at
    the same time.  Various other annoyances (like the
    "logout/shutdown/restart" dialog of KDE not appearing
    at all until the background fade-out effect has finished)
    are also gone.  So this seems to be the single most
    important setting that vastly improves desktop behavior,
    at least here. "

Jens described it the following way, referring to a 10-seconds
xmodmap scheduling delay he was trying to debug:

  " Then I tried switching NO_NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS on, and then
    I get:

    Performance counter stats for 'xmodmap .xmodmap-carl':

         9.009137  task-clock-msecs         #      0.447 CPUs
               18  context-switches         #      0.002 M/sec
                1  CPU-migrations           #      0.000 M/sec
              315  page-faults              #      0.035 M/sec

    0.020167093  seconds time elapsed

    Woot! "

So disable it for now. In perf trace output i can see weird
delta timestamps:

  cc1-9943  [001]  2802.059479616: sched_stat_wait: task: as:9944 wait: 2801938766276 [ns]

That nsec field is not supposed to be that large. More digging
is needed - but lets turn it off while the real bug is found.

9f0ab4a3f0 binfmt_elf: fix PT_INTERP bss handling
In fs/binfmt_elf.c, load_elf_interp() calls padzero() for .bss even if
the PT_LOAD has no PROT_WRITE and no .bss.  This generates EFAULT.

Here is a small test case.  (Yes, there are other, useful PT_INTERP
which have only .text and no .data/.bss.)

	----- ptinterp.S
	_start: .globl _start
		 nop
		 int3
	-----
	$ gcc -m32 -nostartfiles -nostdlib -o ptinterp ptinterp.S
	$ gcc -m32 -Wl,--dynamic-linker=ptinterp -o hello hello.c
	$ ./hello
	Segmentation fault  # during execve() itself

	After applying the patch:
	$ ./hello
	Trace trap  # user-mode execution after execve() finishes

If the ELF headers are actually self-inconsistent, then dying is fine.
But having no PROT_WRITE segment is perfectly normal and correct if
there is no segment with p_memsz > p_filesz (i.e. bss).  John Reiser
suggested checking for PROT_WRITE in the bss logic.  I think it makes
most sense to simply apply the bss logic only when there is bss.

This patch looks less trivial than it is due to some reindentation.
It just moves the "if (last_bss > elf_bss) {" test up to include the
partial-page bss logic as well as the more-pages bss logic.

ec57935837 TPM: Fixup boot probe timeout for tpm_tis driver
When probing the device in tpm_tis_init the call request_locality
uses timeout_a, which wasn't being initalized until after
request_locality. This results in request_locality falsely timing
out if the chip is still starting. Move the initialization to before
request_locality.

This probably only matters for embedded cases (ie mine), a BIOS likely
gets the TPM into a state where this code path isn't necessary.

ddd29ec659 sysfs: Add labeling support for sysfs
This patch adds a setxattr handler to the file, directory, and symlink
inode_operations structures for sysfs. The patch uses hooks introduced in the
previous patch to handle the getting and setting of security information for
the sysfs inodes. As was suggested by Eric Biederman the struct iattr in the
sysfs_dirent structure has been replaced by a structure which contains the
iattr, secdata and secdata length to allow the changes to persist in the event
that the inode representing the sysfs_dirent is evicted. Because sysfs only
stores this information when a change is made all the optional data is moved
into one dynamically allocated field.

This patch addresses an issue where SELinux was denying virtd access to the PCI
configuration entries in sysfs. The lack of setxattr handlers for sysfs
required that a single label be assigned to all entries in sysfs. Granting virtd
access to every entry in sysfs is not an acceptable solution so fine grained
labeling of sysfs is required such that individual entries can be labeled
appropriately.

[sds:  Fixed compile-time warnings, coding style, and setting of inode security init flags.]

1ee65e37e9 LSM/SELinux: inode_{get,set,notify}secctx hooks to access LSM security context information.
This patch introduces three new hooks. The inode_getsecctx hook is used to get
all relevant information from an LSM about an inode. The inode_setsecctx is
used to set both the in-core and on-disk state for the inode based on a context
derived from inode_getsecctx.The final hook inode_notifysecctx will notify the
LSM of a change for the in-core state of the inode in question. These hooks are
for use in the labeled NFS code and addresses concerns of how to set security
on an inode in a multi-xattr LSM. For historical reasons Stephen Smalley's
explanation of the reason for these hooks is pasted below.

Quote Stephen Smalley

inode_setsecctx:  Change the security context of an inode.  Updates the
in core security context managed by the security module and invokes the
fs code as needed (via __vfs_setxattr_noperm) to update any backing
xattrs that represent the context.  Example usage:  NFS server invokes
this hook to change the security context in its incore inode and on the
backing file system to a value provided by the client on a SETATTR
operation.

inode_notifysecctx:  Notify the security module of what the security
context of an inode should be.  Initializes the incore security context
managed by the security module for this inode.  Example usage:  NFS
client invokes this hook to initialize the security context in its
incore inode to the value provided by the server for the file when the
server returned the file's attributes to the client.

b1ab7e4b2a VFS: Factor out part of vfs_setxattr so it can be called from the SELinux hook for inode_setsecctx.
This factors out the part of the vfs_setxattr function that performs the
setting of the xattr and its notification. This is needed so the SELinux
implementation of inode_setsecctx can handle the setting of the xattr while
maintaining the proper separation of layers.

accepting or rejecting the connection, then the provider never cleans
up the connection.  The iwcm should explicitly reject these
connections if the cm_id is destroyed.

ffc40c6433 RDMA/cxgb3: Clean up properly on FW mismatch failures
FW mismatches can cause a crash in the iw_cxgb3 event handler.

- NULL the t3cdev->ulp pointer on failures in cxio_rdev_open()
- Silently ignore events when the ulp ptr is NULL in iwch_err_handler()

172e082a91 sched: Re-tune the scheduler latency defaults to decrease worst-case latencies
Reduce the latency target from 20 msecs to 5 msecs.

Why? Larger latencies increase spread, which is good for scaling,
but bad for worst case latency.

We still have the ilog(nr_cpus) rule to scale up on bigger
server boxes.

2bba22c50b sched: Turn off child_runs_first
Set child_runs_first default to off.

It hurts 'optimal' make -j<NR_CPUS> workloads as make jobs
get preempted by child tasks, reducing parallelism.

Note, this patch might make existing races in user
applications more prominent than before - so breakages
might be bisected to this commit.

Child-runs-first is broken on SMP to begin with, and we
already had it off briefly in v2.6.23 so most of the
offenders ought to be fixed. Would be nice not to revert
this commit but fix those apps finally ...

7135a71b19 aoe: allocate unused request_queue for sysfs
Andy Whitcroft reported an oops in aoe triggered by use of an
incorrectly initialised request_queue object:

  [ 2645.959090] kobject '<NULL>' (ffff880059ca22c0): tried to add
		an uninitialized object, something is seriously wrong.
  [ 2645.959104] Pid: 6, comm: events/0 Not tainted 2.6.31-5-generic #24-Ubuntu

  [ 2645.959161] [<ffffffffa01673c4>] aoeblk_gdalloc+0x164/0x1c0 [aoe]

The request queue of an aoe device is not used but can be allocated in
code that does not sleep.

Bruno bisected this regression down to

  cd43e26f07

  block: Expose stacked device queues in sysfs

"This seems to generate /sys/block/$device/queue and its contents for
 everyone who is using queues, not just for those queues that have a
 non-NULL queue->request_fn."

Addresses http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/410198
Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13942

Note that embedding a queue inside another object has always been
an illegal construct, since the queues are reference counted and
must persist until the last reference is dropped. So aoe was
always buggy in this respect (Jens).
