e926f4495e ARM: pgtable: remove FIRST_USER_PGD_NR
FIRST_USER_PGD_NR is now unnecessary, as this has been replaced by
FIRST_USER_ADDRESS except in the architecture code.  Fix up the last
usage of FIRST_USER_PGD_NR, and remove the definition.

af3813d6a5 ARM: pgtable: use conventional page table code for identity mappings
Remove some knowledge of our 2-level page table layout from the
identity mapping code - we assume that a step size of PGDIR_SIZE will
allow us to step over all entries.  While this is true today, it won't
be true in the near future.

614dd0585f ARM: pgtable: collect up identity mapping functions
We have two places where we create identity mappings - one when we bring
secondary CPUs online, and one where we setup some mappings for soft-
reboot.  Combine these two into a single implementation.  Also collect
the identity mapping deletion function.

26bbf0b57a ARM: pgtable: remove L2 cache flushes for SMP page table bring-up
The MMU is always configured to read page tables from the L2 cache
so there's little point flushing them out of the L2 cache back to
RAM.  Remove these flushes.

d30e45eeab ARM: pgtable: switch order of Linux vs hardware page tables
This switches the ordering of the Linux vs hardware page tables in
each page, thereby eliminating some of the arithmetic in the page
table walks.  As we now place the Linux page table at the beginning
of the page, we can deal with the offset in the pgt by simply masking
it away, along with the other control bits.

This also makes the arithmetic all be positive, rather than a mixture.

c0ba10b512 ARM: improve compiler's ability to optimize page tables
Allow the compiler to better optimize the page table walking code
by avoiding over-complex pmd_addr_end() calculations.  These
calculations prevent the compiler spotting that we'll never iterate
over the PMD table, causing it to create double nested loops where
a single loop will do.

ed1d77b18c hardirq.h: needs sched.h if using BKL
This really isn't the right thing to do, and strictly speaking we should
have the BKL depth count in the thread info right next to the preempt
count.  The two really do go together.

However, since that would involve a patch to all architectures, and the
BKL is finally going away, it's simply not worth the effort to do the
RightThing(tm).  Just re-instate the <linux/sched.h> include that we
used to get accidentally from the smp_lock.h one.

This is all fallout from the same old "BKL: remove extraneous #include
<smp_lock.h>" commit.

This appears to be due to checking the wrong permission bits in the

In:
  powerpc/mm: Fix pgtable cache cleanup with CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT
  commit d28513bc7f

subpage_protection() was changed to to take an mm rather a pgdir but it

noticed at compile time since hashpage_preload() used a void* as the
parameter to subpage_protection().

CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT are enabled.

7957f0a857 Fix build failure due to hwirq.h needing smp_lock.h
Arnd Bergmann did an automated scripting run to find left-over instances
of <linux/smp_lock.h>, and had made it trigger it on the normal BKL use
of lock_kernel and unlock_lernel (and apparently release_kernel_lock and
reacquire_kernel_lock too, used by the scheduler).

That resulted in commit 451a3c24b0 ("BKL: remove extraneous #include
<smp_lock.h>").

However, hardirq.h was the only remaining user of the old
'kernel_locked()' interface, and Arnd's script hadn't checked for that.
So depending on your configuration and what header files had been
included, you would get errors like "implicit declaration of function
'kernel_locked'" during the build.

The right fix is not to just re-instate the smp_lock.h include - it is
to just remove 'kernel_locked()' entirely, since the only use was this
one special low-level detail.  Just make hardirq.h do it directly.

In fact this simplifies and clarifies the code, because some trivial
analysis makes it clear that hardirq.h only ever used _one_ of the two
definitions of kernel_locked(), so we can remove the other one entirely.

c8770e7ba6 KVM: VMX: Fix host userspace gsbase corruption
We now use load_gs_index() to load gs safely; unfortunately this also
changes MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE, which we managed separately.  This resulted
in confusion and breakage running 32-bit host userspace on a 64-bit kernel.

Fix by
- saving guest MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE before we we reload the host's gs
- doing the host save/load unconditionally, instead of only when in guest
  long mode

Things can be cleaned up further, but this is the minmal fix for now.

0a77fe4c18 KVM: Correct ordering of ldt reload wrt fs/gs reload
If fs or gs refer to the ldt, they must be reloaded after the ldt.  Reorder
the code to that effect.

Userspace code that uses the ldt with kvm is nonexistent, so this doesn't fix
a user-visible bug.

e3839ed8e8 kgdb,ppc: Fix regression in evr register handling
Commit ff10b88b5a (kgdb,ppc: Individual
register get/set for ppc) introduced a problem where memcpy was used
incorrectly to read and write the evr registers with a kernel that
has:

CONFIG_FSL_BOOKE=y
CONFIG_SPE=y
CONFIG_KGDB=y

This patch also fixes the following compilation problems:

arch/powerpc/kernel/kgdb.c: In function 'dbg_get_reg':
arch/powerpc/kernel/kgdb.c:341: error: passing argument 2 of 'memcpy' makes pointer from integer without a cast
arch/powerpc/kernel/kgdb.c: In function 'dbg_set_reg':
arch/powerpc/kernel/kgdb.c:366: error: passing argument 1 of 'memcpy' makes pointer from integer without a cast

10a6e67648 kgdb,x86: fix regression in detach handling
The fix from ba773f7c51
(x86,kgdb: Fix hw breakpoint regression) was not entirely complete.

The kgdb_remove_all_hw_break() function also needs to call the
hw_break_release_slot() or else a breakpoint can get activated again
after the debugger has detached.

The kgdb test suite exposes the behavior in the form of either a hang
or repetitive failure.  The kernel config that exposes the problem
contains all of the following:

CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y
CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS=y
CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS_ON_BOOT=y
CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS_BOOT_STRING="V1F100"

23e701e620 [libata] remove SCSI host lock and serial number usage from ata_scsi_queuecmd
cmd->serial_number is never tested in any path we reach; therefore we may
remove the call to scsi_cmd_get_serial() inside DEF_SCSI_QCMD, the SCSI
host_lock acquisition surrounding it, and our own SCSI host_lock
unlock+relock cycle.

The stradis driver is on its way out, but it should still be marked

changed to not require it if someone decides to revive the driver and
port it to v4l2 in the process.

59365d136d kernel: make /proc/kallsyms mode 400 to reduce ease of attacking
Making /proc/kallsyms readable only for root by default makes it
slightly harder for attackers to write generic kernel exploits by
removing one source of knowledge where things are in the kernel.

This is the second submit, discussion happened on this on first submit
and mostly concerned that this is just one hole of the sieve ...  but
one of the bigger ones.

Changing the permissions of at least System.map and vmlinux is also
required to fix the same set, but a packaging issue.

Target of this starter patch and follow ups is removing any kind of
kernel space address information leak from the kernel.

[ Side note: the default of root-only reading is the "safe" value, and
  it's easy enough to then override at any time after boot.  The /proc
  filesystem allows root to change the permissions with a regular
  chmod, so you can "revert" this at run-time by simply doing

    chmod og+r /proc/kallsyms

  as root if you really want regular users to see the kernel symbols.
  It does help some tools like "perf" figure them out without any
  setup, so it may well make sense in some situations.  - Linus ]
