c2853c8df57f include/linux/math64.h: add div64_ul()
because:

relies on it.
[ We don't rebase sched/core for this, because the handful of

Pull another powerpc fix from Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
"I mentioned that while we had fixed the kernel crashes, EEH error
recovery didn't always recover... It appears that I had a fix for
that already in powerpc-next (with a stable CC).
I cherry-picked it today and did a few tests and it seems that things
now work quite well. The patch is also pretty simple, so I see no
reason to wait before merging it."

While running Linux as guest on top of phyp, we possiblly have
PE that includes single PCI device. However, we didn't return
its PCI bus correctly and it leads to failure on recovery from
EEH errors for single-dev-PE. The patch fixes the issue.

Pull powerpc fixes from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"We discovered some breakage in our "EEH" (PCI Error Handling) code
while doing error injection, due to a couple of regressions. One of
them is due to a patch (37f02195bee9 "powerpc/pci: fix PCI-e devices
rescan issue on powerpc platform") that, in hindsight, I shouldn't
have merged considering that it caused more problems than it solved.
Please pull those two fixes. One for a simple EEH address cache
initialization issue. The other one is a patch from Guenter that I
had originally planned to put in 3.11 but which happens to also fix
that other regression (a kernel oops during EEH error handling and
possibly hotplug).
With those two, the couple of test machines I've hammered with error
injection are remaining up now. EEH appears to still fail to recover
on some devices, so there is another problem that Gavin is looking
into but at least it's no longer crashing the kernel."

Due to recent changes and expecations of proper cpu bindings, there are
now cases for many of the in-tree devicetrees where a WARN() will hit
on boot due to badly formatted /cpus nodes.
Downgrade this to a pr_warn() to be less alarmist, since it's not a
new problem.
Tested on Arndale, Cubox, Seaboard and Panda ES. Panda hits the WARN
without this, the others do not.

Commit 37f02195b (powerpc/pci: fix PCI-e devices rescan issue on powerpc
platform) fixes a problem with interrupt and DMA initialization on hot
plugged devices. With this commit, interrupt and DMA initialization for
hot plugged devices is handled in the pci device enable function.
This approach has a couple of drawbacks. First, it creates two code paths
for device initialization, one for hot plugged devices and another for devices
known during the initial PCI scan. Second, the initialization code for hot
plugged devices is only called when the device is enabled, ie typically
in the probe function. Also, the platform specific setup code is called each
time pci_enable_device() is called, not only once during device discovery,
meaning it is actually called multiple times, once for devices discovered
during the initial scan and again each time a driver is re-loaded.
The visible result is that interrupt pins are only assigned to hot plugged
devices when the device driver is loaded. Effectively this changes the PCI
probe API, since pci_dev->irq and the device's dma configuration will now
only be valid after pci_enable() was called at least once. A more subtle
change is that platform specific PCI device setup is moved from device
discovery into the driver's probe function, more specifically into the
pci_enable_device() call.
To fix the inconsistencies, add new function pcibios_add_device.
Call pcibios_setup_device from pcibios_setup_bus_devices if device setup
is not complete, and from pcibios_add_device if bus setup is complete.
With this change, device setup code is moved back into device initialization,
and called exactly once for both static and hot plugged devices.
[ This also fixes a regression introduced by the above patch which
causes dev->irq to be overwritten under some cirumstances after
MSIs have been enabled for the device which leads to crashes due
to the MSI core "hijacking" dev->irq to store the base MSI number
and not the LSI. --BenH

This __put_user() could be used by unprivileged processes to write into
kernel memory. The issue here is that even if copy_siginfo_to_user()
fails, the error code is not checked before __put_user() is executed.
Luckily, ptrace_peek_siginfo() has been added within the 3.10-rc cycle,
so it has not hit a stable release yet.

Al Viro pointed me to the fact that '->readdir()' and '->llseek()' have no
mutual exclusion, which means the 'ubifs_dir_llseek()' can be run while we are
in the middle of 'ubifs_readdir()'.
This means that 'file->private_data' can be freed while 'ubifs_readdir()' uses
it, and this is a very bad bug: not only 'ubifs_readdir()' can return garbage,
but this may corrupt memory and lead to all kinds of problems like crashes an
security holes.
This patch fixes the problem by using the 'file->f_version' field, which
'->llseek()' always unconditionally sets to zero. We set it to 1 in
'ubifs_readdir()' and whenever we detect that it became 0, we know there was a
seek and it is time to clear the state saved in 'file->private_data'.
I tested this patch by writing a user-space program which runds readdir and
seek in parallell. I could easily crash the kernel without these patches, but
could not crash it with these patches.

Al Viro pointed me to the fact that '->readdir()' and '->llseek()' have no
mutual exclusion, which means the 'ubifs_dir_llseek()' can be run while we are
in the middle of 'ubifs_readdir()'.
First of all, this means that 'file->private_data' can be freed while
'ubifs_readdir()' uses it. But this particular patch does not fix the problem.
This patch is only a preparation, and the fix will follow next.
In this patch we make 'ubifs_readdir()' stop using 'file->f_pos' directly,
because 'file->f_pos' can be changed by '->llseek()' at any point. This may
lead 'ubifs_readdir()' to returning inconsistent data: directory entry names
may correspond to incorrect file positions.
So here we introduce a local variable 'pos', read 'file->f_pose' once at very
the beginning, and then stick to 'pos'. The result of this is that when
'ubifs_dir_llseek()' changes 'file->f_pos' while we are in the middle of
'ubifs_readdir()', the latter "wins".

This fixes the problem that "init=" options may not be passed to kernel
correctly.
parse_mem_cmdline() of mn10300 arch gets rid of "mem=" string from
redboot_command_line. Then init_setup() parses the "init=" options from
static_command_line, which is a copy of redboot_command_line, and keeps
the pointer to the init options in execute_command variable.
Since the commit 026cee0 upstream (params: <level>_initcall-like kernel
parameters), static_command_line becomes overwritten by saved_command_line at
do_initcall_level(). Notice that saved_command_line is a command line
which includes "mem=" string.
As a result, execute_command may point to weird string by the length of
"mem=" parameter.
I noticed this problem when using the command line like this:
mem=128M console=ttyS0,115200 init=/bin/sh
Here is the processing flow of command line parameters.
start_kernel()
setup_arch(&command_line)
parse_mem_cmdline(cmdline_p)
* strcpy(boot_command_line, redboot_command_line);
* Remove "mem=xxx" from redboot_command_line.
* *cmdline_p = redboot_command_line;
setup_command_line(command_line) <-- command_line is redboot_command_line
* strcpy(saved_command_line, boot_command_line)
* strcpy(static_command_line, command_line)
parse_early_param()
strlcpy(tmp_cmdline, boot_command_line, COMMAND_LINE_SIZE);
parse_early_options(tmp_cmdline);
parse_args("early options", cmdline, NULL, 0, 0, 0, do_early_param);
parse_args("Booting ..", static_command_line, ...);
init_setup() <-- save the pointer in execute_command
rest_init()
kernel_thread(kernel_init, NULL, CLONE_FS | CLONE_SIGHAND);
At this point, execute_command points to "/bin/sh" string.
kernel_init()
kernel_init_freeable()
do_basic_setup()
do_initcalls()
do_initcall_level()
(*) strcpy(static_command_line, saved_command_line);
Here, execute_command gets to point to "200" string !!

commit f8f7d63fd96ead101415a1302035137a866f8998 ("powerpc/eeh: Trace eeh
device from I/O cache") broke EEH on pseries for devices that were
present during boot and have not been hotplugged/DLPARed.
eeh_check_failure will get the eeh_dev from the cache, and will get
NULL. eeh_addr_cache_build adds the addresses to the cache, but eeh_dev
for the giving pci_device is not set yet. Just reordering the call to
eeh_addr_cache_insert_dev works fine. The ordering is similar to the one
in eeh_add_device_late.

Sending the right snapshot context with each write is required for
snapshots to work. Due to the ordering of calls, the snapshot context
is never set for any requests. This causes writes to the current
version of the image to be reflected in all snapshots, which are
supposed to be read-only.
This happens because rbd_osd_req_format_write() sets the snapshot
context based on obj_request->img_request. At this point, however,
obj_request->img_request has not been set yet, to the snapshot context
is set to NULL. Fix this by moving rbd_img_obj_request_add(), which
sets obj_request->img_request, before the osd request formatting
calls.
This resolves:

They are the base values in load balance, update them with rq runnable
load average, then the load balance will consider runnable load avg
naturally.
We also try to include the blocked_load_avg as cpu load in balancing,
but that cause kbuild performance drop 6% on every Intel machine, and
aim7/oltp drop on some of 4 CPU sockets machines.
Or only add blocked_load_avg into get_rq_runable_load, hackbench still

The woken migrated task will __synchronize_entity_decay(se); in
migrate_task_rq_fair, then it needs to set
`se->avg.last_runnable_update -= (-se->avg.decay_count) << 20' before
update_entity_load_avg, in order to avoid sleep time is updated twice
for se.avg.load_avg_contrib in both __syncchronize and
update_entity_load_avg.
However if the sleeping task is woken up from the same cpu, it miss
the last_runnable_update before update_entity_load_avg(se, 0, 1), then
the sleep time was used twice in both functions. So we need to remove
the double sleep time accounting.

We need to initialize the se.avg.{decay_count, load_avg_contrib} for a
new forked task. Otherwise random values of above variables cause a
mess when a new task is enqueued:
enqueue_task_fair
enqueue_entity
enqueue_entity_load_avg
and make fork balancing imbalance due to incorrect load_avg_contrib.
Further more, Morten Rasmussen notice some tasks were not launched at
once after created. So Paul and Peter suggest giving a start value for
new task runnable avg time same as sched_slice().

3.10 fixes

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
1) Found via trinity:
If you connect up an ipv6 socket to an ipv4 mapped address then an
ipv6 one, sendmsg() can croak because ip6_sk_dst_check() assumes the
route cached in the socket is an ipv6 one. In this case there is an
ipv4 route attached, so it gets stomped on.
Reported by Dave Jones and Hannes Frederic Sowa, fixed by Eric
Dumazet.
2) AF_KEY notifications leak some kernel memory to userspace, fix from
Mathias Krause.
3) DLCI calls __dev_get_by_name() without proper locking, and dlci_del
doesn't validate that the device being deleted is actually a DLCI
one. Fixes from Li Zefan.
4) Length check on bluetooth l2cap information responses is wrong, each
response type has a different lenth, so we should make sure it's in
a given range rather than enforce one single valid length. From
Jaganath Kanakkassery.
5) Receive FIFO overflow is really easy to trigger in stress scenerios
in the sh_eth driver, but the event isn't being handled properly at
all. Specifically, the mask of error interrupts doesn't include the
event so we never clear it, resulting in the driver becomming wedged
processing an interrupt that never gets cleared.
Fix from Sergei Shtylyov.
6) qlcnic sleeps while holding a spinlock, use mdelay() instead of
msleep(). From Shahed Shaikh.
7) Missing curly braces causes SIP netfilter NAT module to always drop
packets. Fix from Balazs Peter Odor.
8) ipt_ULOG in netfilter passes the wrong value to timer setup, causing
the timer to dereference crap when it fires. Fix from Gao Feng.
9) Missing RCU protection around txq->axq_acq traversal in
ath_txq_schedule(). Fix from Felix Fietkau.
10) Idle state transition test in ath9k_htc_config() is reversed, fix
from Sujith Manoharan.
11) IPV6 forwarding handles unicast Router Alert packets incorrectly.
It tests the wrong option state. Previously opt->ra being non-zero
indicated a router alert marking in the SKB, but now it's indicated
by a bit in opt->flags. Fix from YOSHIFUJI Hideaki.
12) SKB leak in GRE tunnel GSO handling, from Eric Dumazet.
13) get_user_pages_fast() error handling in TUN and MACVTAP use the same
local variable for the base index and the loop iterator for page
traversal, oops! Fix from Michael S Tsirkin.
14) ipv6_get_lladdr() can fail, and we must therefore check it's return
value in inet6_set_iftoken(). For from Hannes Frederic Sowa.
15) If you change an interface name and meanwhile can sneak in something
that looks up the name (like SO_BINDTODEVICE or SIOCGIFNAME) we can
deadlock with CONFIG_PREEMPT=n. Fix this by providing a helper
function that properly uses raw_seqcount_begin(). From Nicolas
Schichan.
16) Chain noise calibration test is inverted in iwlwifi, fix from
Nikolay Martynov.
17) Properly set TX iwlwifi descriptor flags for back requests. Fix
from Emmanuel Grumbach.
18) We can't assume skb_transport_header() is set in xt_TCPOPTSTRAP
module, fix from Pablo Neira Ayuso.
19) Some crummy APs don't provide the proper High Throughput info in
association response frames. Add a workaround by assume we'll use
whatever is in the beacon/probe. Fix from Johannes Berg.
20) mac80211 call to rate_idx_match_mask() swaps two arguments (mask and
channel width). Fix from Simon Wunderlich.
21) xt_TCPMSS (like xt_TCPOPTSTRAP) must not try to handle fragmented
frames. Fix from Phil Oester.
22) Fix rate control regression causing iwlwifi/iwlegacy chips to use
1Mbit/s on pre-11n networks. From Moshe Benji and Stanslaw Gruszka.
23) Disable brcmsmac power-save functions, they cause regressions. From
Arend van Spriel.
24) Enforce a sane minimum MTU in l2cap_build_cmd() otherwise we can
easily crash. Fix from Anderson Lizardo.
25) If a learning packet arrives during vxlan_stop() we crash, easily
fixed by checking netif_running(). From Stephen Hemminger.
26) Static vxlan FDB entries should not be migrated, also from Stephen.
27) skb_clone() failures not handled in vxlan_xmit(), oops. Also from
Stephen.
28) Add minimal driver for AR816x/AR817x ethernet chips, from Johannes
Berg.
29) Fix regression in userspace VLAN acceleration control, added by the
802.1ad support changes. Fix from Fernando Luis Vazquez Cao.
30) Interval selection for MLD queries in the bridging code was
reversed. Fix from Linus Lüssing.
31) ipv6's ndisc_send_redirect() erroneously writes to the packet we
received not the packet we are building to send out. Fix from
Matthias Schiffer.
32) Don't free netdev before unregistering it, in usb_8dev can driver.
From Marc Kleine-Budde.
33) Fix nl80211 attribute buffer races, from Johannes Berg.
34) Although netlink_diag.h is under uapi/ it isn't present in Kbuild.
From Stephen Hemminger.
35) Wrong address and family passed to MD5 key lookups in TCP, from
Aydin Arik.
36) phy_type attribute created by SFC driver should not be writable.
From Ben Hutchings.
37) Receive/Transmit queue allocations in pxa168_eth and mv643xx_eth
should use kzalloc(). Otherwise if setup fails half-way, we'll
dereference garbage when trying to teardown the rings. From Lubomir
Rintel.
38) Fix double-allocation of dst (resulting in unfreeable net device) in
ipv6's init_loopback(). From Gao Feng.
39) Fix fragmentation handling SKB leak in netfilter conntrack, we were
freeing the wrong skb pointer. From Phil Oester.
40) Don't report "-1" (SPEED_UNKNOWN) in bond_miimon_commit(), from
Nikolay Aleksandrov.
41) davinci_cpdma doesn't check for DMA mapping errors, letting the
device scribble to random addresses. From Sebastian Siewior.

It's possible to use AF_INET6 sockets and to connect to an IPv4
destination. After this, socket dst cache is a pointer to a rtable,
not rt6_info.
ip6_sk_dst_check() should check the socket dst cache is IPv6, or else
various corruptions/crashes can happen.
Dave Jones can reproduce immediate crash with
trinity -q -l off -n -c sendmsg -c connect

When the kernel (compiled with CONFIG_PREEMPT=n) is performing the
rename of a network interface, it can end up waiting for a workqueue
to complete. If userland is able to invoke a SIOCGIFNAME ioctl or a
SO_BINDTODEVICE getsockopt in between, the kernel will deadlock due to
the fact that read_secklock_begin() will spin forever waiting for the
writer process (the one doing the interface rename) to update the
devnet_rename_seq sequence.
This patch fixes the problem by adding a helper (netdev_get_name())
and using it in the code handling the SIOCGIFNAME ioctl and
SO_BINDTODEVICE setsockopt.
The netdev_get_name() helper uses raw_seqcount_begin() to avoid
spinning forever, waiting for devnet_rename_seq->sequence to become
even. cond_resched() is used in the contended case, before retrying
the access to give the writer process a chance to finish.
The use of raw_seqcount_begin() will incur some unneeded work in the
reader process in the contended case, but this is better than
deadlocking the system.
