Nick Bowler 6fd59a83b9 scatterlist: don't BUG when we can trivially return a proper error.
There is absolutely no reason to crash the kernel when we have a
perfectly good return value already available to use for conveying
failure status.

Let's return an error code instead of crashing the kernel: that sounds
like a much better plan.

Akinobu Mita 6582c665d6 prandom: introduce prandom_bytes() and prandom_bytes_state()
Add functions to get the requested number of pseudo-random bytes.

The difference from get_random_bytes() is that it generates pseudo-random
numbers by prandom_u32().  It doesn't consume the entropy pool, and the
sequence is reproducible if the same rnd_state is used.  So it is suitable
for generating random bytes for testing.

Akinobu Mita 496f2f93b1 random32: rename random32 to prandom
This renames all random32 functions to have 'prandom_' prefix as follows:

  void prandom_seed(u32 seed);	/* rename from srandom32() */
  u32 prandom_u32(void);		/* rename from random32() */
  void prandom_seed_state(struct rnd_state *state, u64 seed);
  				/* rename from prandom32_seed() */
  u32 prandom_u32_state(struct rnd_state *state);
  				/* rename from prandom32() */

The purpose of this renaming is to prevent some kernel developers from
assuming that prandom32() and random32() might imply that only
prandom32() was the one using a pseudo-random number generator by
prandom32's "p", and the result may be a very embarassing security
exposure.  This concern was expressed by Theodore Ts'o.

And furthermore, I'm going to introduce new functions for getting the
requested number of pseudo-random bytes.  If I continue to use both
prandom32 and random32 prefixes for these functions, the confusion
is getting worse.

As a result of this renaming, "prandom_" is the common prefix for
pseudo-random number library.

Currently, srandom32() and random32() are preserved because it is
difficult to rename too many users at once.

Oleg Nesterov 8ebe34731a percpu_rw_semaphore: add lockdep annotations
Add lockdep annotations.  Not only this can help to find the potential
problems, we do not want the false warnings if, say, the task takes two
different percpu_rw_semaphore's for reading.  IOW, at least ->rw_sem
should not use a single class.

This patch exposes this internal lock to lockdep so that it represents the
whole percpu_rw_semaphore.  This way we do not need to add another "fake"
->lockdep_map and lock_class_key.  More importantly, this also makes the
output from lockdep much more understandable if it finds the problem.

In short, with this patch from lockdep pov percpu_down_read() and
percpu_up_read() acquire/release ->rw_sem for reading, this matches the
actual semantics.  This abuses __up_read() but I hope this is fine and in
fact I'd like to have down_read_no_lockdep() as well,
percpu_down_read_recursive_readers() will need it.

Oleg Nesterov 9390ef0c85 percpu_rw_semaphore: kill ->writer_mutex, add ->write_ctr
percpu_rw_semaphore->writer_mutex was only added to simplify the initial
rewrite, the only thing it protects is clear_fast_ctr() which otherwise
could be called by multiple writers.  ->rw_sem is enough to serialize the
writers.

Kill this mutex and add "atomic_t write_ctr" instead.  The writers
increment/decrement this counter, the readers check it is zero instead of
mutex_is_locked().

Move atomic_add(clear_fast_ctr(), slow_read_ctr) under down_write() to
avoid the race with other writers.  This is a bit sub-optimal, only the
first writer needs this and we do not need to exclude the readers at this
stage.  But this is simple, we do not want another internal lock until we
add more features.

And this speeds up the write-contended case.  Before this patch the racing
writers sleep in synchronize_sched_expedited() sequentially, with this
patch multiple synchronize_sched_expedited's can "overlap" with each
other.  Note: we can do more optimizations, this is only the first step.

Oleg Nesterov a1fd3e24d8 percpu_rw_semaphore: reimplement to not block the readers unnecessarily
Currently the writer does msleep() plus synchronize_sched() 3 times to
acquire/release the semaphore, and during this time the readers are
blocked completely.  Even if the "write" section was not actually started
or if it was already finished.

With this patch down_write/up_write does synchronize_sched() twice and
down_read/up_read are still possible during this time, just they use the
slow path.

percpu_down_write() first forces the readers to use rw_semaphore and
increment the "slow" counter to take the lock for reading, then it
takes that rw_semaphore for writing and blocks the readers.

Also.  With this patch the code relies on the documented behaviour of
synchronize_sched(), it doesn't try to pair synchronize_sched() with
barrier.

Jan Beulich 53809751ac sscanf: don't ignore field widths for numeric conversions
This is another step towards better standard conformance.  Rather than
adding a local buffer to store the specified portion of the string (with
the need to enforce an arbitrary maximum supported width to limit the
buffer size), do a maximum width conversion and then drop as much of it as
is necessary to meet the caller's request.

Also fail on negative field widths.

Uses the deprecated simple_strto*() functions because kstrtoXX() fail on
non-zero terminated strings.

  Remove the multitude of phys_to_virt/virt_to_phys calls and instead
  operate on the physical addresses instead of virtual in many of the

Linus Torvalds 18dd0bf22b Merge branch 'x86-acpi-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 ACPI update from Peter Anvin:
 "This is a patchset which didn't make the last merge window.  It adds a
  debugging capability to feed ACPI tables via the initramfs.

  On a grander scope, it formalizes using the initramfs protocol for
  feeding arbitrary blobs which need to be accessed early to the kernel:
  they are fed first in the initramfs blob (lots of bootloaders can
  concatenate this at boot time, others can use a single file) in an
  uncompressed cpio archive using filenames starting with "kernel/".

  The ACPI maintainers requested that this patchset be fed via the x86
  tree rather than the ACPI tree as the footprint in the general x86
  code is much bigger than in the ACPI code proper."

 "The major features of this tree are:

     1. A first version of no-callbacks CPUs.  This version prohibits
        offlining CPU 0, but only when enabled via CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y.
        Relaxing this constraint is in progress, but not yet ready

Linus Torvalds cff2f741b8 Driver core updates for 3.8-rc1
Here's the large driver core updates for 3.8-rc1.
 
 The biggest thing here is the various __dev* marking removals.  This is
 going to be a pain for the merge with different subsystem trees, I know,
 but all of the patches included here have been ACKed by their various
 subsystem maintainers, as they wanted them to go through here.
 
 If this is too much of a pain, I can pull all of them out of this tree
 and just send you one with the other fixes/updates and then, after
 3.8-rc1 is out, do the rest of the removals to ensure we catch them all,
 it's up to you.  The merges should all be trivial, and Stephen has been
 doing them all in linux-next for a few weeks now quite easily.
 
 Other than the __dev* marking removals, there's nothing major here, some
 firmware loading updates and other minor things in the driver core.
 
 All of these have (much to Stephen's annoyance), been in linux-next for
 a while.

some years, with almost no false positives.  This commit therefore
reduces the default to 21 seconds, slightly shorter than the new
soft-lockup timeout.

Alexander Duyck af51a9f184 swiotlb: Do not export swiotlb_bounce since there are no external consumers
Currently swiotlb is the only consumer for swiotlb_bounce.  Since that is the
case it doesn't make much sense to be exporting it so make it a static
function only.

In addition we can save a few more lines of code by making it so that it
accepts the DMA address as a physical address instead of a virtual one.  This
is the last piece in essentially pushing all of the DMA address values to use
physical addresses in swiotlb.

In order to clarify things since we now have 2 physical addresses in use
inside of swiotlb_bounce I am renaming phys to orig_addr, and dma_addr to
tlb_addr.  This way is should be clear that orig_addr is contained within
io_orig_addr and tlb_addr is an address within the io_tlb_addr buffer.

Alexander Duyck e05ed4d1fa swiotlb: Return physical addresses when calling swiotlb_tbl_map_single
This change makes it so that swiotlb_tbl_map_single will return a physical
address instead of a virtual address when called.  The advantage to this once
again is that we are avoiding a number of virt_to_phys and phys_to_virt
translations by working with everything as a physical address.

One change I had to make in order to support using physical addresses is that
I could no longer trust 0 to be a invalid physical address on all platforms.
So instead I made it so that ~0 is returned on error.  This should never be a
valid return value as it implies that only one byte would be available for
use.

Alexander Duyck ee3f6ba896 swiotlb: Make io_tlb_overflow_buffer a physical address
This change makes it so that we can avoid virt_to_phys overhead when using the
io_tlb_overflow_buffer.  My original plan was to completely remove the value
and replace it with a constant but I had seen that there were recent patches
that stated this couldn't be done until all device drivers that depended on
that functionality be updated.

This change replaces all references to the virtual address for io_tlb_start

replacing the virtual address with a physical address is that we can avoid
having to do multiple translations from the virtual address to the physical

Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo eedce141cd genalloc: stop crashing the system when destroying a pool
The genalloc code uses the bitmap API from include/linux/bitmap.h and
lib/bitmap.c, which is based on long values.  Both bitmap_set from
lib/bitmap.c and bitmap_set_ll, which is the lockless version from
genalloc.c, use BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK to set the first bits in a long in
the bitmap.

That one uses (1 << bits) - 1, 0b111, if you are setting the first three
bits.  This means that the API counts from the least significant bits
(LSB from now on) to the MSB.  The LSB in the first long is bit 0, then.
The same works for the lookup functions.

The genalloc code uses longs for the bitmap, as it should.  In
include/linux/genalloc.h, struct gen_pool_chunk has unsigned long
bits[0] as its last member.  When allocating the struct, genalloc should
reserve enough space for the bitmap.  This should be a proper number of
longs that can fit the amount of bits in the bitmap.

However, genalloc allocates an integer number of bytes that fit the
amount of bits, but may not be an integer amount of longs.  9 bytes, for
example, could be allocated for 70 bits.

This is a problem in itself if the Least Significat Bit in a long is in
the byte with the largest address, which happens in Big Endian machines.
This means genalloc is not allocating the byte in which it will try to
set or check for a bit.

This may end up in memory corruption, where genalloc will try to set the
bits it has not allocated.  In fact, genalloc may not set these bits
because it may find them already set, because they were not zeroed since
they were not allocated.  And that's what causes a BUG when
gen_pool_destroy is called and check for any set bits.

What really happens is that genalloc uses kmalloc_node with __GFP_ZERO
on gen_pool_add_virt.  With SLAB and SLUB, this means the whole slab
will be cleared, not only the requested bytes.  Since struct
gen_pool_chunk has a size that is a multiple of 8, and slab sizes are
multiples of 8, we get lucky and allocate and clear the right amount of
bytes.

Hower, this is not the case with SLOB or with older code that did memset
after allocating instead of using __GFP_ZERO.

So, a simple module as this (running 3.6.0), will cause a crash when
rmmod'ed.

If there is only one match, the unique matched entry should be returned.

Without the fix, the upcoming dma debug interfaces ("dma-debug: new

only device and dma_addr are passed to dma_mapping_error().
