95c0909961 ALSA: hda - Avoid call of snd_jack_report at release
Don't call snd_jack_report at release of sigmatel and conexnat codecs
which results in Oops at unloading the module.

The Oops is triggered by the power-up sequence during the free due to
the pincfg restoration.  Since the power-up sequence is involved with
the unsol handling, the jack reporting may be issued during that.
The Oops occurs with this jack reporting because the jack instances
have been already released but the codec doesn't do the proper
book-keeping.

This patch adds the book-keeping of jack instances to avoid the access
to bogus pointers.

9d59065cd6 ALSA: add private_data to struct snd_jack
Added private_data and private_free fields to struct snd_jack so that
the caller can assign the data.  It'll be helpful for avoiding the
double-free of the jack instance.

27b19565fe lockdep: warn about lockdep disabling after kernel taint, fix
Impact: build fix for Sparc and s390

Stephen Rothwell reported that the Sparc build broke:

 In file included from kernel/panic.c:12:
 include/linux/debug_locks.h: In function '__debug_locks_off':
 include/linux/debug_locks.h:15: error: implicit declaration of function 'xchg'

due to:

 9eeba61: lockdep: warn about lockdep disabling after kernel taint

There is some inconsistency between architectures about where exactly
xchg() is defined.

The traditional place is in system.h but the more logical point for it
is in atomic.h - where most architectures (especially new ones) have
it defined. These architecture also still offer it via system.h.

Some, such as Sparc or s390 only have it in asm/system.h and not available
via asm/atomic.h at all.

Use the widest set of headers in debug_locks.h and also include asm/system.h.

1c98aa7424 Fix quilt merge error in acpi-cpufreq.c
We ended up incorrectly using '&cur' instead of '&readin' in the

 "OK, the acpi tree went and had conflicting changes merged into it after

  of 18b2646fe3 while fixing the resulting

316cb4ef3e ext2: fix data corruption for racing writes
If two writers allocating blocks to file race with each other (e.g.
because writepages races with ordinary write or two writepages race with
each other), ext2_getblock() can be called on the same inode in parallel.
Before we are going to allocate new blocks, we have to recheck the block
chain we have obtained so far without holding truncate_mutex.  Otherwise
we could overwrite the indirect block pointer set by the other writer
leading to data loss.

The below test program by Ying is able to reproduce the data loss with ext2
on in BRD in a few minutes if the machine is under memory pressure:

long kMemSize  = 50 << 20;
int kPageSize = 4096;

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
	int status;
	int count = 0;
	int i;
	char *fname = "/mnt/test.mmap";
	char *mem;
	unlink(fname);
	int fd = open(fname, O_CREAT | O_EXCL | O_RDWR, 0600);
	status = ftruncate(fd, kMemSize);
	mem = mmap(0, kMemSize, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
	// Fill the memory with 1s.
	memset(mem, 1, kMemSize);
	sleep(2);
	for (i = 0; i < kMemSize; i++) {
		int byte_good = mem[i] != 0;
		if (!byte_good && ((i % kPageSize) == 0)) {
			//printf("%d ", i / kPageSize);
			count++;
		}
	}
	munmap(mem, kMemSize);
	close(fd);
	unlink(fname);

	if (count > 0) {
		printf("Running %d bad page\n", count);
		return 1;
	}
	return 0;
}

caefba1740 shmem: respect MAX_LFS_FILESIZE
SHMEM_MAX_BYTES was derived from the maximum size of its triple-indirect
swap vector, forgetting to take the MAX_LFS_FILESIZE limit into account.
Never mind 256kB pages, even 8kB pages on 32-bit kernels allowed files to
grow slightly bigger than that supposed maximum.

Fix this by using the min of both (at build time not run time).  And it
happens that this calculation is good as far as 8MB pages on 32-bit or
16MB pages on 64-bit: though SHMSWP_MAX_INDEX gets truncated before that,
it's truncated to such large numbers that we don't need to care.

61609d01cb shmem: fix division by zero
Fix a division by zero which we have in shmem_truncate_range() and
shmem_unuse_inode() when using big PAGE_SIZE values (e.g.  256kB on
ppc44x).

With 256kB PAGE_SIZE, the ENTRIES_PER_PAGEPAGE constant becomes too large
(0x1.0000.0000) on a 32-bit kernel, so this patch just changes its type
from 'unsigned long' to 'unsigned long long'.

Hugh: reverted its unsigned long longs in shmem_truncate_range() and
shmem_getpage(): the pagecache index cannot be more than an unsigned long,
so the divisions by zero occurred in unreached code.  It's a pity we need
any ULL arithmetic here, but I found no pretty way to avoid it.

9de100d001 mm: document get_user_pages_fast()
While better than get_user_pages(), the usage of gupf(), especially the
return values and the fact that it can potentially only partially pin the
range, warranted some documentation.

d20d5a7456 initramfs: fix initramfs to work with hardlinked init
Change cb6ff20807 ("NOMMU: Support XIP on
initramfs") seems to have broken booting from initramfs with /sbin/init
being a hardlink.

It seems like the logic required for XIP on nommu, i.e.  ftruncate to
reported cpio header file size (body_len) is broken for hardlinks, which
have a reported size of 0, and the truncate thus nukes the contents of the
file (in my case busybox), making boot impossible and ending with runaway
loop modprobe binfmt-0000 - and of course 0000 is not a valid binary
format.

My fix is to only call ftruncate if size is non-zero which fixes things
for me, but I'm not certain whether this will break XIP for those files on
nommu systems, although I would guess not.

f1671f6d78 ptrace: fix exit_ptrace() vs ptrace_traceme() race
Pointed out by Roland.  The bug was recently introduced by me in
"forget_original_parent: split out the un-ptrace part", commit
39c626ae47.

Since that patch we have a window after exit_ptrace() drops tasklist and
before forget_original_parent() takes it again.  In this window the child
can do ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME) and nobody can untrace this child after
that.

Change ptrace_traceme() to not attach to the exiting ->real_parent.  We
don't report the error in this case, we pretend we attach right before
->real_parent calls exit_ptrace() which should untrace us anyway.
