The approach for mixing RCU and reference counting listed in the RCU
documentation only describes one possible approach. This approach can
result in failure on the read side, which is nice if you want fresh data,
but not so good if you want simple code. This commit therefore adds
two additional approaches that feature unconditional reference-count
acquisition by RCU readers. These approaches are very similar to that
used in the security code.

- Unnecessary register setting in start_thread() (thanks to Al Viro)

* tag 'arm64-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmarinas/linux-aarch64:
arm64: fix alignment padding in assembly code
arm64: ptrace: use HW_BREAKPOINT_EMPTY type for disabled breakpoints
arm64: ptrace: make structure padding explicit for debug registers
arm64: No need to set the x0-x2 registers in start_thread()
arm64: Ignore memory blocks below PHYS_OFFSET
arm64: Fix the update_vsyscall() prototype
arm64: Select MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA
arm64: Remove duplicate inclusion of mmu_context.h in smp.c
An interesting effect of using the generic version of linkage.h
is that the padding is defined in terms of x86 NOPs, which can have
even more interesting effects when the assembly code looks like this:
ENTRY(func1)
mov x0, xzr
ENDPROC(func1)
// fall through
ENTRY(func2)
mov x0, #1
ret
ENDPROC(func2)
Admittedly, the code is not very nice. But having code from another
architecture doesn't look completely sane either.
The fix is to add arm64's version of linkage.h, which causes the insertion
of proper AArch64 NOPs.

Emit the magic string that indicates a module has a signature after the
signature data instead of before it. This allows module_sig_check() to
be made simpler and faster by the elimination of the search for the
magic string. Instead we just need to do a single memcmp().
This works because at the end of the signature data there is the
fixed-length signature information block. This block then falls
immediately prior to the magic number.
From the contents of the information block, it is trivial to calculate
the size of the signature data and thus the size of the actual module
data.

/proc/<pid>/numa_maps scans vma and show mempolicy under
mmap_sem. It sometimes accesses task->mempolicy which can
be freed without mmap_sem and numa_maps can show some
garbage while scanning.
This patch tries to take reference count of task->mempolicy at reading
numa_maps before calling get_vma_policy(). By this, task->mempolicy
will not be freed until numa_maps reaches its end.
V2->v3
- updated comments to be more verbose.
- removed task_lock() in numa_maps code.
V1->V2
- access task->mempolicy only once and remember it. Becase kernel/exit.c
can overwrite it.

free_pid_ns() operates in a recursive fashion:
free_pid_ns(parent)
put_pid_ns(parent)
kref_put(&ns->kref, free_pid_ns);
free_pid_ns
thus if there was a huge nesting of namespaces the userspace may trigger
avalanche calling of free_pid_ns leading to kernel stack exhausting and a
panic eventually.
This patch turns the recursion into an iterative loop.

Rusty had clearly not actually tested his module signing changes that I
(trustingly) applied as commit e2a666d52b ("kbuild: sign the modules
at install time"). That commit had multiple bugs:
- using "${#VARIABLE}" to get the number of characters in a shell
variable may look clever, but it's locale-dependent: it returns the
number of *characters*, not bytes. And we do need bytes.
So don't use "${#..}" expansion, do the stupid "wc -c" thing instead
(where "c" stands for "bytes", not "characters", despite the letter.
- Rusty had confused "siglen" and "signerlen", and his conversion
didn't set "signerlen" at all, and incorrectly set "siglen" to the
size of the signer, not the size of the signature.
End result: the modified sign-file script did create something that
superficially *looked* like a signature, but didn't actually work at
all, and would fail the signature check. Oops.
Tssk, tssk, Rusty.
But Rusty was definitely right that this whole thing should be rewritten
in perl by somebody who has the perl-fu to do so. That is not me,
though - I'm just doing an emergency fix for the shell script.

Commit cb6b6df111 ("xen/pv-on-hvm kexec: add quirk for Xen 3.4 and

old K&R-style declaration without proper typing, causing gcc to rightly
complain:
drivers/xen/xenbus/xenbus_xs.c:628:13: warning: function declaration isn’t a prototype [-Wstrict-prototypes]
because we really don't live in caves using stone-age tools any more,
and the kernel has always used properly typed ANSI C function
declarations.
So if a function doesn't take arguments, we tell the compiler so
explicitly by adding the proper "void" in the prototype.
I'm sure there are tons of other examples of this kind of stuff in the
tree, but this is the one that hits my workstation config, so..

From Borislav Petkov <bp@amd64.org>:
Below is a RAS fix which reverts the addition of a sysfs attribute
which we agreed is not needed, post-factum. And this should go in now
because that sysfs attribute is going to end up in 3.7 otherwise and
thus exposed to userspace; removing it then would be a lot harder.
This is done as a merge rather than a simple patch/cherry-pick since
the baseline for this patch was not in the previous x86/urgent.
Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@linux.intel.com>
450cc20103 ("x86/mce: Provide boot argument to honour bios-set CMCI
threshold") added the bios_cmci_threshold sysfs attribute which was
supposed to communicate to userspace tools that BIOS CMCI threshold has
been honoured.
However, this info is not of any importance to userspace - it should
rather get the actual error count it has been thresholded already from
MCi_STATUS[38:52].
So drop this before it becomes a used interface (good thing we caught
this early in 3.7-rc1, right after the merge window closed).

Pull media fixes from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
"Media fixes for:
- one Kconfig fix patch;
- one patch fixing DocBook breakage due to the drivers/media UAPI
changes;
- the remaining UAPI media changes (DVB API).
I'm aware that is is a little late for the UAPI renames for the DVB
API, but IMHO, it is better to merge it for 3.7, due to two reasons:
1) There is a major rename at 3.7 (not only uapi changes, but also
the entire media drivers were reorganized on 3.7, in order to
simplify the Kconfig logic, and easy drivers selection, especially
for hybrid devices). By confining all those renames there at 3.7
it will cause all the harm at for media developers on just one
shot. Stable backports upstream and at distros will likely
welcome it as well, as they won't need to check what changed on
3.7 and what was postponed for on 3.8.
2) The V4L2 DocBook Makefile creates a cross-reference between the
media API headers and the specs. This helps us _a_lot_ to be sure
that all API improvements are properly documented. Every time a
header changes from one place to another, DocBook/media/Makefile
needs to be patched. Currently, the DocBook breakage patch
depends on the DVB UAPI."
