commit 7a68be94e2 upstream.
BugLink: https://launchpad.net/bugs/583983
Symptom: on a significant number of hardware, booting from a live cd
results in capture working correctly, but once the distribution is
installed, booting from the install results in capture not working.
Test case: boot from Ubuntu 10.04 LTS live cd; capture works correctly.
Install to HD and reboot; capture does not work. Reproduced with 2.6.32
mainline build (vanilla kernel.org compile).
Resolution: add SSID for Acer Aspire 5110 to the position_fix quirk
table, explicitly specifying the LPIB method.
I'll be sending additional patches for these SSIDs as bug reports are
confirmed.

commit 66668b6fb6 upstream.
BugLink: https://launchpad.net/bugs/576160
Symptom: Currently (2.6.32.12) the Dell M1730 uses the 3stack model
quirk. Unfortunately this means that capture is not functional out-
of-the-box despite ensuring that capture settings are unmuted and
raised fully.
Test case: boot from Ubuntu 10.04 LTS live cd; capture does not
work.
Resolution: Correct the model quirk for Dell M1730 to rely on the
BIOS configuration.
This patch also trivially sorts the quirk into the correct section
based on the comments.

commit fd6be105b8 upstream.
Currently, we can hit a nasty case with optimistic
spinning on mutexes:
CPU A tries to take a mutex, while holding the BKL
CPU B tried to take the BLK while holding the mutex
This looks like a AB-BA scenario but in practice, is
allowed and happens due to the auto-release on
schedule() nature of the BKL.
In that case, the optimistic spinning code can get us
into a situation where instead of going to sleep, A
will spin waiting for B who is spinning waiting for
A, and the only way out of that loop is the
need_resched() test in mutex_spin_on_owner().
This patch fixes it by completely disabling spinning
if we own the BKL. This adds one more detail to the
extensive list of reasons why it's a bad idea for
kernel code to be holding the BKL.

commit e7ecd43569 upstream.
There are ATAPI devices which raise AN when hit by commands issued by
open(). This leads to infinite loop of AN -> MEDIA_CHANGE uevent ->
udev open() to check media -> AN.
Both ACS and SerialATA standards don't define in which case ATAPI
devices are supposed to raise or not raise AN. They both list media
insertion event as a possible use case for ATAPI ANs but there is no
clear description of what constitutes such events. As such, it seems
a bit too naive to export ANs directly to userland as MEDIA_CHANGE
events without further verification (which should behave similarly to
windows as it apparently is the only thing that some hardware vendors
are testing against).
This patch adds libata.atapi_an module parameter and disables ATAPI AN
by default for now.

commit fa9dc265ac upstream.
Commit a45185d2d "cpumask: convert kernel/compat.c" broke libnuma, which
abuses sched_getaffinity to find out NR_CPUS in order to parse
/sys/devices/system/node/node*/cpumap.
On NUMA systems with less than 32 possibly CPUs, the current
compat_sys_sched_getaffinity now returns '4' instead of the actual
NR_CPUS/8, which makes libnuma bail out when parsing the cpumap.
The libnuma call sched_getaffinity(0, bitmap, 4096) at first. It mean
the libnuma expect the return value of sched_getaffinity() is either len
argument or NR_CPUS. But it doesn't expect to return nr_cpu_ids.
Strictly speaking, userland requirement are
1) Glibc assume the return value mean the lengh of initialized
of mask argument. E.g. if sched_getaffinity(1024) return 128,
glibc make zero fill rest 896 byte.
2) Libnuma assume the return value can be used to guess NR_CPUS
in kernel. It assume len-arg<NR_CPUS makes -EINVAL. But
it try len=4096 at first and 4096 is always bigger than
NR_CPUS. Then, if we remove strange min_length normalization,
we never hit -EINVAL case.
sched_getaffinity() already solved this issue. This patch adapts
compat_sys_sched_getaffinity() to match the non-compat case.

Johannes' patch 34e8950 titled:
mac80211: allow station add/remove to sleep
changed the way mac80211 adds and removes peers. The new
sta_add() / sta_remove() callbacks allowed the driver callbacks
to sleep. Johannes also ported ath9k to use sta_add() / sta_remove()
via the patch 4ca7786 titled:
ath9k: convert to new station add/remove callbacks
but this patch forgot to address a change in locking issue which
Ming Lei eventually found on his 2.6.33-wl #12 build. The 2.6.33-wl
build includes code for the 802.11 subsystem for 2.6.34 though so did
already have the above two patches (ath9k_sta_remove() on his trace),
the 2.6.33 kernel did not however have these two patches. Ming eventually
cured his lockdep warnign via the patch a9f042c titled:
ath9k: fix lockdep warning when unloading module
This went in to 2.6.34 and although it was not marked as a stable
fix it did get trickled down and applied on both 2.6.33 and 2.6.32.
In review, the culprits:
mac80211: allow station add/remove to sleep
git describe --contains 34e895075e
v2.6.34-rc1~233^2~49^2~107
ath9k: convert to new station add/remove callbacks
git describe --contains 4ca778605c
v2.6.34-rc1~233^2~49^2~10
ath9k: fix lockdep warning when unloading module
This last one trickled down to 2.6.33 (OK), 2.6.33 (invalid) and 2.6.32 (invalid).
git describe --contains a9f042cbe5
v2.6.34-rc2~48^2~77^2~7
git describe --contains 0524bcfa80
v2.6.33.2~125
git describe --contains 0dcc9985f3
v2.6.32.11~79
The patch titled "ath9k: fix lockdep warning when unloading module"
should be reverted on both 2.6.33 and 2.6.32 as it is invalid and
actually ended up causing the following warning:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/4/22/219
The mmap_min_addr value is useful information for an admin to see without
being root ("is my system vulnerable to kernel NULL pointer attacks?") and
its setting is trivially easy for an attacker to determine by calling
mmap() in PAGE_SIZE increments starting at 0, so trying to keep it private
has no value.
Only require CAP_SYS_RAWIO if changing the value, not reading it.

commit 34441427aa upstream.
Originally, commit d899bf7b ("procfs: provide stack information for
threads") attempted to introduce a new feature for showing where the
threadstack was located and how many pages are being utilized by the
stack.
Commit c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage on NOMMU") was
applied to fix the NO_MMU case.
Commit 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on
64-bit") was applied to fix a bug in ia32 executables being loaded.
Commit 9ebd4eba7 ("procfs: fix /proc/<pid>/stat stack pointer for kernel
threads") was applied to fix a bug which had kernel threads printing a
userland stack address.
Commit 1306d603f ('proc: partially revert "procfs: provide stack
information for threads"') was then applied to revert the stack pages
being used to solve a significant performance regression.
This patch nearly undoes the effect of all these patches.
The reason for reverting these is it provides an unusable value in
field 28. For x86_64, a fork will result in the task->stack_start
value being updated to the current user top of stack and not the stack
start address. This unpredictability of the stack_start value makes
it worthless. That includes the intended use of showing how much stack
space a thread has.
Other architectures will get different values. As an example, ia64
gets 0. The do_fork() and copy_process() functions appear to treat the
stack_start and stack_size parameters as architecture specific.
I only partially reverted c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage
on NOMMU") . If I had completely reverted it, I would have had to change
mm/Makefile only build pagewalk.o when CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR is
configured. Since I could not test the builds without significant effort,
I decided to not change mm/Makefile.
I only partially reverted 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack
information for threads on 64-bit") . I left the KSTK_ESP() change in
place as that seemed worthwhile.

commit 1306d603fc upstream.
Commit d899bf7b (procfs: provide stack information for threads) introduced
to show stack information in /proc/{pid}/status. But it cause large
performance regression. Unfortunately /proc/{pid}/status is used ps
command too and ps is one of most important component. Because both to
take mmap_sem and page table walk are heavily operation.
If many process run, the ps performance is,
[before d899bf7b]

Thus, this patch revert it. Fortunately /proc/{pid}/task/{tid}/smaps
provide almost same information. we can use it.
Commit d899bf7b introduced two features:
1) Add the annotattion of [thread stack: xxxx] mark to
/proc/{pid}/task/{tid}/maps.
2) Add StackUsage field to /proc/{pid}/status.
I only revert (2), because I haven't seen (1) cause regression.

commit e08733446e upstream.
There is a race in the inotify add/rm watch code. A task can find and
remove a mark which doesn't have all of it's references. This can
result in a use after free/double free situation.
Task A Task B
------------ -----------
inotify_new_watch()
allocate a mark (refcnt == 1)
add it to the idr
inotify_rm_watch()
inotify_remove_from_idr()
fsnotify_put_mark()
refcnt hits 0, free
take reference because we are on idr
[at this point it is a use after free]
[time goes on]
refcnt may hit 0 again, double free
The fix is to take the reference BEFORE the object can be found in the
idr.

commit 1c5250d616 upstream.
The imx CTS trigger level is left at its reset value that is 32
chars. Since the RX FIFO has 32 entries, when CTS is raised, the
FIFO already is full. However, some serial port devices first empty
their TX FIFO before stopping when CTS is raised, resulting in lost
chars.
This patch sets the trigger level lower so that other chars arrive
after CTS is raised, there is still room for 16 of them.

commit 3d69438031 upstream.
When we made serverino the default, we trusted that the field sent by the
server in the "uniqueid" field was actually unique. It turns out that it
isn't reliably so.
Samba, in particular, will just put the st_ino in the uniqueid field when
unix extensions are enabled. When a share spans multiple filesystems, it's
quite possible that there will be collisions. This is a server bug, but
when the inodes in question are a directory (as is often the case) and
there is a collision with the root inode of the mount, the result is a
kernel panic on umount.
Fix this by checking explicitly for directory inodes with the same
uniqueid. If that is the case, then we can assume that using server inode
numbers will be a problem and that they should be disabled.
Fixes Samba bugzilla 7407

commit 0fe1ac48be upstream.
Anton Blanchard found that large POWER systems would occasionally
crash in the exception exit path when profiling with perf_events.
The symptom was that an interrupt would occur late in the exit path
when the MSR[RI] (recoverable interrupt) bit was clear. Interrupts
should be hard-disabled at this point but they were enabled. Because
the interrupt was not recoverable the system panicked.
The reason is that the exception exit path was calling
perf_event_do_pending after hard-disabling interrupts, and
perf_event_do_pending will re-enable interrupts.
The simplest and cleanest fix for this is to use the same mechanism
that 32-bit powerpc does, namely to cause a self-IPI by setting the
decrementer to 1. This means we can remove the tests in the exception
exit path and raw_local_irq_restore.
This also makes sure that the call to perf_event_do_pending from
timer_interrupt() happens within irq_enter/irq_exit. (Note that
calling perf_event_do_pending from timer_interrupt does not mean that
there is a possible 1/HZ latency; setting the decrementer to 1 ensures
that the timer interrupt will happen immediately, i.e. within one
timebase tick, which is a few nanoseconds or 10s of nanoseconds.)
