Meelis Roos reported that kernels built with gcc-4.9 do not boot, we
eventually narrowed this down to only impacting machines using
UltraSPARC-III and derivitive cpus.
The crash happens right when the first user process is spawned:

Further investigation showed that compiling only per_cpu_patch() with
an older compiler fixes the boot.
Detailed analysis showed that the function is not being miscompiled by
gcc-4.9, but it is using a different register allocation ordering.
With the gcc-4.9 compiled function, something during the code patching
causes some of the %i* input registers to get corrupted. Perhaps
we have a TLB miss path into the firmware that is deep enough to
cause a register window spill and subsequent restore when we get
back from the TLB miss trap.
Let's plug this up by doing two things:
1) Stop using the firmware stack for client interface calls into
the firmware. Just use the kernel's stack.
2) As soon as we can, call into a new function "start_early_boot()"
to put a one-register-window buffer between the firmware's
deepest stack frame and the top-most initial kernel one.

When user asks to turn off ASLR by writing "0" to

Currently arm64 violates this behavior by randomising text.

The third parameter of kvm_unpin_pages() when called from
kvm_iommu_map_pages() is wrong, it should be the number of pages to un-pin
and not the page size.
This error was facilitated with an inconsistent API: kvm_pin_pages() takes
a size, but kvn_unpin_pages() takes a number of pages, so fix the problem
by matching the two.
This was introduced by commit 350b8bd ("kvm: iommu: fix the third parameter
of kvm_iommu_put_pages (CVE-2014-3601)"), which fixes the lack of
un-pinning for pages intended to be un-pinned (i.e. memory leak) but
unfortunately potentially aggravated the number of pages we un-pin that
should have stayed pinned. As far as I understand though, the same
practical mitigations apply.
This issue was found during review of Red Hat 6.6 patches to prepare
Ksplice rebootless updates.
Thanks to Vegard for his time on a late Friday evening to help me in
understanding this code.

Far jmp/call/ret may fault while loading a new RIP. Currently KVM does not
handle this case, and may result in failed vm-entry once the assignment is
done. The tricky part of doing so is that loading the new CS affects the
VMCS/VMCB state, so if we fail during loading the new RIP, we are left in
unconsistent state. Therefore, this patch saves on 64-bit the old CS
descriptor and restores it if loading RIP failed.

Upon WRMSR, the CPU should inject #GP if a non-canonical value (address) is
written to certain MSRs. The behavior is "almost" identical for AMD and Intel
(ignoring MSRs that are not implemented in either architecture since they would
anyhow #GP). However, IA32_SYSENTER_ESP and IA32_SYSENTER_EIP cause #GP if
non-canonical address is written on Intel but not on AMD (which ignores the top
32-bits).
Accordingly, this patch injects a #GP on the MSRs which behave identically on
Intel and AMD. To eliminate the differences between the architecutres, the
value which is written to IA32_SYSENTER_ESP and IA32_SYSENTER_EIP is turned to
canonical value before writing instead of injecting a #GP.
Some references from Intel and AMD manuals:
According to Intel SDM description of WRMSR instruction #GP is expected on
WRMSR "If the source register contains a non-canonical address and ECX
specifies one of the following MSRs: IA32_DS_AREA, IA32_FS_BASE, IA32_GS_BASE,
IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE, IA32_LSTAR, IA32_SYSENTER_EIP, IA32_SYSENTER_ESP."
According to AMD manual instruction manual:
LSTAR/CSTAR (SYSCALL): "The WRMSR instruction loads the target RIP into the
LSTAR and CSTAR registers. If an RIP written by WRMSR is not in canonical
form, a general-protection exception (#GP) occurs."
IA32_GS_BASE and IA32_FS_BASE (WRFSBASE/WRGSBASE): "The address written to the
base field must be in canonical form or a #GP fault will occur."
IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE (SWAPGS): "The address stored in the KernelGSbase MSR must
be in canonical form."

d_splice_alias() callers expect it to either stash the inode reference

Unfortunately, that should include the failure exits. If d_splice_alias()

thus it *must* drop the inode reference. Easily fixed, but it goes way

Add a simple read-only counter to super_block that indicates how deep this
is in the stack of filesystems. Previously ecryptfs was the only stackable
filesystem and it explicitly disallowed multiple layers of itself.
Overlayfs, however, can be stacked recursively and also may be stacked
on top of ecryptfs or vice versa.
To limit the kernel stack usage we must limit the depth of the
filesystem stack. Initially the limit is set to 2.

Add support for statfs to the overlayfs filesystem. As the upper layer
is the target of all write operations assume that the space in that
filesystem is the space in the overlayfs. There will be some inaccuracy as

but it is better than nothing.

Overlayfs allows one, usually read-write, directory tree to be
overlaid onto another, read-only directory tree. All modifications
go to the upper, writable layer.
This type of mechanism is most often used for live CDs but there's a
wide variety of other uses.
The implementation differs from other "union filesystem"
implementations in that after a file is opened all operations go
directly to the underlying, lower or upper, filesystems. This
simplifies the implementation and allows native performance in these
cases.
The dentry tree is duplicated from the underlying filesystems, this
enables fast cached lookups without adding special support into the
VFS. This uses slightly more memory than union mounts, but dentries
are relatively small.
Currently inodes are duplicated as well, but it is a possible
optimization to share inodes for non-directories.
Opening non directories results in the open forwarded to the
underlying filesystem. This makes the behavior very similar to union
mounts (with the same limitations vs. fchmod/fchown on O_RDONLY file
descriptors).
Usage:
mount -t overlayfs overlayfs -olowerdir=/lower,upperdir=/upper/upper,workdir=/upper/work /overlay

Whiteout isn't actually a new file type, but is represented as a char
device (Linus's idea) with 0/0 device number.
This has several advantages compared to introducing a new whiteout file
type:
- no userspace API changes (e.g. trivial to make backups of upper layer
filesystem, without losing whiteouts)
- no fs image format changes (you can boot an old kernel/fsck without
whiteout support and things won't break)
- implementation is trivial

It's already duplicated in btrfs and about to be used in overlayfs too.
Move the sticky bit check to an inline helper and call the out-of-line
helper only in the unlikly case of the sticky bit being set.

We need to be able to check inode permissions (but not filesystem implied
permissions) for stackable filesystems. Expose this interface for overlayfs.

Add a new inode operation i_op->dentry_open(). This is for stacked filesystems
that want to return a struct file from a different filesystem.

function, where an architecture can override it by providing a strong
version.
Some header file declarations included the "weak" attribute. That's
error-prone because it causes every implementation to be weak, with no
strong version at all, and the linker chooses one based on link order.
What we want is the "weak" attribute only on the *definition* of the
default implementation. These changes remove "weak" from the declarations,
leaving it on the default definitions.

"This patchset falls under the "maintainers that grovel" clause in the
v3.18-rc1 announcement. We had intended to push it late in the merge
window since we got it into the -tip tree relatively late.
Many of these are relatively simple things, but there are a couple of
