ebf3f09c63 Configure out AIO support
This patchs adds the CONFIG_AIO option which allows to remove support
for asynchronous I/O operations, that are not necessarly used by
applications, particularly on embedded devices. As this is a
size-reduction option, it depends on CONFIG_EMBEDDED. It allows to
save ~7 kilobytes of kernel code/data:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename

07edbde508 pid_ns: de_thread: kill the now unneeded ->child_reaper change
de_thread() checks if the old leader was the ->child_reaper, this is not
possible any longer.  With the previous patch ->group_leader itself will
change ->child_reaper on exit.

Henceforth find_new_reaper() is the only function (apart from
initialization) which plays with ->child_reaper.

ac0d86f580 block: sanitize invalid partition table entries
We currently follow blindly what the partition table lies about the
disk, and let the kernel create block devices which can not be accessed.
Trying to identify the device leads to kernel logs full of:
  sdb: rw=0, want=73392, limit=28800
  attempt to access beyond end of device

Here is an example of a broken partition table, where sda2 starts
behind the end of the disk, and sdb3 is larger than the entire disk:
  Disk /dev/sdb: 14 MB, 14745600 bytes
  1 heads, 29 sectors/track, 993 cylinders, total 28800 sectors
     Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
  /dev/sdb1              29        7800        3886   83  Linux
  /dev/sdb2           37801       45601        3900+  83  Linux
  /dev/sdb3           15602       73402       28900+  83  Linux
  /dev/sdb4           23403       28796        2697   83  Linux

The kernel creates these completely invalid devices, which can not be
accessed, or may lead to other unpredictable failures:
  grep . /sys/class/block/sdb*/{start,size}
  /sys/class/block/sdb/size:28800
  /sys/class/block/sdb1/start:29
  /sys/class/block/sdb1/size:7772
  /sys/class/block/sdb2/start:37801
  /sys/class/block/sdb2/size:7801
  /sys/class/block/sdb3/start:15602
  /sys/class/block/sdb3/size:57801
  /sys/class/block/sdb4/start:23403
  /sys/class/block/sdb4/size:5394

With this patch, we ignore partitions which start behind the end of the disk,
and limit partitions to the end of the disk if they pretend to be larger:
  grep . /sys/class/block/sdb*/{start,size}
  /sys/class/block/sdb/size:28800
  /sys/class/block/sdb1/start:29
  /sys/class/block/sdb1/size:7772
  /sys/class/block/sdb3/start:15602
  /sys/class/block/sdb3/size:13198
  /sys/class/block/sdb4/start:23403
  /sys/class/block/sdb4/size:5394

These warnings are printed to the kernel log:
  sdb: p2 ignored, start 37801 is behind the end of the disk
  sdb: p3 size 57801 limited to end of disk

c7637941d1 binfmt_elf_fdpic: convert initial stack alignment to arch_align_stack()
binfmt_elf_fdpic seems to have grabbed a hard-coded hack from an ancient
version of binfmt_elf in order to try and fix up initial stack alignment
on multi-threaded x86, which while in addition to being unused, was also
pushed down beyond the first set of operations on the stack pointer,
negating the entire purpose.

These days, we have an architecture independent arch_align_stack(), so we
switch to using that instead. Move the initial alignment up before the
initial stores while we're at it.

ec23847d6c binfmt_elf_fdpic: support auxvec base platform string
Commit 483fad1c3f ("ELF loader support for
auxvec base platform string") introduced AT_BASE_PLATFORM, but only
implemented it for binfmt_elf.

Given that AT_VECTOR_SIZE_BASE is unconditionally enlarged for us, and
it's only optionally added in for the platforms that set
ELF_BASE_PLATFORM, wire it up for binfmt_elf_fdpic, too.

67b172c097 fs/reiserfs: use an IS_ERR test rather than a NULL test
In case of error, the function open_xa_dir returns an ERR pointer, but
never returns a NULL pointer.  So a NULL test that comes after an IS_ERR
test should be deleted.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

// <smpl>
@match_bad_null_test@
expression x, E;
statement S1,S2;
@@
x = open_xa_dir(...)
... when != x = E
(
*  if (x == NULL && ...) S1 else S2
|
*  if (x == NULL || ...) S1 else S2
)

d38b7aa7fc hfs: fix namelength memory corruption
Fix a stack corruption caused by a corrupted hfs filesystem.  If the
catalog name length is corrupted the memcpy overwrites the catalog btree
structure.  Since the field is limited to HFS_NAMELEN bytes in the
structure and the file format, we throw an error if it is too long.

This happens because the return value of read_mapping_page() is passed on
to kmap unchecked.  The bug is triggered after the first
read_mapping_page() in hfsplus_block_allocate(), this patch fixes all
three usages in this functions but leaves the ones further down in the
file unchanged.

efc7ffcb42 hfsplus: fix Buffer overflow with a corrupted image
When an hfsplus image gets corrupted it might happen that the catalog
namelength field gets b0rked.  If we mount such an image the memcpy() in
hfsplus_cat_build_key_uni() writes more than the 255 that fit in the name
field.  Depending on the size of the overwritten data, we either only get
memory corruption or also trigger an oops like this:

bd39597cbd ext2: avoid printk floods in the face of directory corruption
A very large directory with many read failures (either due to storage
problems, or due to invalid size & blocks from corruption) will generate a
printk storm as the filesystem continues to try to read all the blocks.
This flood of messages can tie up the box until it is complete - which may
be a very long time, especially for very large corrupted values.

This is fixed by only reporting the corruption once each time we try to
read the directory.

d707d31c97 ext2: fix ext2 block reservation early ENOSPC issue
We could run into ENOSPC error on ext2, even when there is free blocks on
the filesystem.

The problem is triggered in the case the goal block group has 0 free
blocks , and the rest block groups are skipped due to the check of
"free_blocks < windowsz/2".  Current code could fall back to non
reservation allocation to prevent early ENOSPC after examing all the block
groups with reservation on , but this code was bypassed if the reservation
window is turned off already, which is true in this case.

This patch fixed two issues:
1) We don't need to turn off block reservation if the goal block group has
0 free blocks left and continue search for the rest of block groups.

Current code the intention is to turn off the block reservation if the
goal allocation group has a few (some) free blocks left (not enough for
make the desired reservation window),to try to allocation in the goal
block group, to get better locality.  But if the goal blocks have 0 free
blocks, it should leave the block reservation on, and continues search for
the next block groups,rather than turn off block reservation completely.

2) we don't need to check the window size if the block reservation is off.

The problem was originally found and fixed in ext4.

8d7b48e0bc autofs4: add miscellaneous device for ioctls
Add a miscellaneous device to the autofs4 module for routing ioctls.  This
provides the ability to obtain an ioctl file handle for an autofs mount
point that is possibly covered by another mount.

The actual problem with autofs is that it can't reconnect to existing
mounts.  Immediately one things of just adding the ability to remount
autofs file systems would solve it, but alas, that can't work.  This is
because autofs direct mounts and the implementation of "on demand mount
and expire" of nested mount trees have the file system mounted on top of
the mount trigger dentry.

To resolve this a miscellaneous device node for routing ioctl commands to
these mount points has been implemented in the autofs4 kernel module and a
library added to autofs.  This provides the ability to open a file
descriptor for these over mounted autofs mount points.

Please refer to Documentation/filesystems/autofs4-mount-control.txt for a
discussion of the problem, implementation alternatives considered and a
description of the interface.

$ echo '#!/tmp/t1' > /tmp/t2
$ chmod +x /tmp/t*
$ /tmp/t2
zsh: exec format error: /tmp/t2

Similar problem with binfmt_misc.

This patch introduces field 'recursion_depth' into struct linux_binprm to
track recursion level in binfmt_misc and binfmt_script.  If recursion
level more then BINPRM_MAX_RECURSION it generates -ENOEXEC.

Turns out it is, except that various architectures have slightly and some
high2lowuid/high2lowgid or the direct assignment instead of the
SET_UID/SET_GID that expands to the correct one anyway.

This patch replaces the arch-specific cp_compat_stat implementations with
a common one based on the x86-64 one.

362e6663ef exec.c, compat.c: fix count(), compat_count() bounds checking

fs/exec.c:394:

	if(++i > max)
		return -E2BIG;

would never trigger. Since 'i' is of type int, so values would wrap and the
function would continue looping.

Simple fix seems to be chaning ++i to i++ and checking for '>='.

f4cfb18d79 uclinux: fix gzip header parsing in binfmt_flat.c
There are off-by-one errors in decompress_exec() when calculating the length of
optional "original file name" and "comment" fields: the "ret" index is not
incremented when terminating '\0' character is reached. The check of the buffer
overflow (after an "extra-field" length was taken into account) is also fixed.

I've encountered this off-by-one error when tried to reuse
gzip-header-parsing part of the decompress_exec() function.  There was an
"original file name" field in the payload (with miscalculated length) and
zlib_inflate() returned Z_DATA_ERROR.  But after the fix similar to this
one all worked fine.

It finally dawned on me what the clean fix to sysfs_rename_dir
calling kobject_set_name is.  Move the work into kobject_rename
where it belongs.  The callers serialize us anyway so this is
safe.

8c0e3998f5 sysfs: Make dir and name args to sysfs_notify() const
Because they can be, and because code like this produces a warning if
they're not:

struct device_attribute dev_attr;

sysfs_notify(&kobj, NULL, dev_attr.attr.name);

45c076c5d7 sysfs: use ilookup5() instead of ilookup5_nowait()
As inode creation is protected by sysfs_mutex, ilookup5_nowait()
always either fails to find at all or finds one which is fully
initialized, so using ilookup5_nowait() or ilookup5() doesn't make any
difference.  Switch to ilookup5() as it's planned to be removed.  This
change also makes lookup return value handling a bit simpler.

This change was suggested by Al Viro.

Yes, it is a real bug by the looks. bin.c takes bb->mutex under mmap_sem
when it is mmapped, and then does its copy_*_user under bb->mutex too.

Here is a basic fix for the sysfs lor.

f1282c844e sysfs: Support sysfs_notify from atomic context with new sysfs_notify_dirent
Support sysfs_notify from atomic context with new sysfs_notify_dirent

sysfs_notify currently takes sysfs_mutex.
This means that it cannot be called in atomic context.
sysfs_mutex  is sometimes held over a malloc (sysfs_rename_dir)
so it can block on low memory.

In md I want to be able to notify on a sysfs attribute from
atomic context, and I don't want to block on low memory because I
could be in the writeout path for freeing memory.

So:
 - export the "sysfs_dirent" structure along with sysfs_get, sysfs_put
   and sysfs_get_dirent so I can get the sysfs_dirent that I want to
   notify on and hold it in an md structure.
 - split sysfs_notify_dirent out of sysfs_notify so the sysfs_dirent
   can be notified on with no blocking (just a spinlock).

6c5e51dae2 xfs: fix remount rw with unrecognized options
When we skip unrecognized options in xfs_fs_remount we should just break
out of the switch and not return because otherwise we may skip clearing
the xfs-internal read-only flag.  This will only show up on some
operations like touch because most read-only checks are done by the VFS
which thinks this filesystem is r/w.  Eventually we should replace the
XFS read-only flag with a helper that always checks the VFS flag to make
sure they can never get out of sync.

Bug reported and fix verified by Marcel Beister on #xfs.
Bug fix verified by updated xfstests/189.
