The matrix-keymap module is currently lacking a proper module license,
add one so we don't have this module tainting the entire kernel. This
issue has been present since commit 1932811f426f ("Input: matrix-keymap
- uninline and prepare for device tree support")

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
1) Netlink socket dumping had several missing verifications and checks.
In particular, address comparisons in the request byte code
interpreter could access past the end of the address in the
inet_request_sock.
Also, address family and address prefix lengths were not validated
properly at all.
This means arbitrary applications can read past the end of certain
kernel data structures.
Fixes from Neal Cardwell.
2) ip_check_defrag() operates in contexts where we're in the process
of, or about to, input the packet into the real protocols
(specifically macvlan and AF_PACKET snooping).
Unfortunately, it does a pskb_may_pull() which can modify the
backing packet data which is not legal if the SKB is shared. It
very much can be shared in this context.
Deal with the possibility that the SKB is segmented by using
skb_copy_bits().
Fix from Johannes Berg based upon a report by Eric Leblond.

This reverts commits a50915394f1fc02c2861d3b7ce7014788aa5066e and
d7c3b937bdf45f0b844400b7bf6fd3ed50bac604.
This is a revert of a revert of a revert. In addition, it reverts the
even older i915 change to stop using the __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag due to the
original commits in linux-next.
It turns out that the original patch really was bogus, and that the
original revert was the correct thing to do after all. We thought we
had fixed the problem, and then reverted the revert, but the problem
really is fundamental: waking up kswapd simply isn't the right thing to
do, and direct reclaim sometimes simply _is_ the right thing to do.
When certain allocations fail, we simply should try some direct reclaim,
and if that fails, fail the allocation. That's the right thing to do
for THP allocations, which can easily fail, and the GPU allocations want
to do that too.
So starting kswapd is sometimes simply wrong, and removing the flag that
said "don't start kswapd" was a mistake. Let's hope we never revisit
this mistake again - and certainly not this many times ;)

ip_check_defrag() might be called from af_packet within the
RX path where shared SKBs are used, so it must not modify
the input SKB before it has unshared it for defragmentation.
Use skb_copy_bits() to get the IP header and only pull in
everything later.
The same is true for the other caller in macvlan as it is
called from dev->rx_handler which can also get a shared SKB.

deferred or contended"
This reverts commit 782fd30406ecb9d9b082816abe0c6008fc72a7b0.
We are going to reinstate the __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag that has been
removed, the removal reverted, and then removed again. Making this
commit a pointless fixup for a problem that was caused by the removal of
__GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag.
The thing is, we really don't want to wake up kswapd for THP allocations
(because they fail quite commonly under any kind of memory pressure,
including when there is tons of memory free), and these patches were
just trying to fix up the underlying bug: the original removal of
__GFP_NO_KSWAPD in commit c654345924f7 ("mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD")
was simply bogus.

Add logic to verify that a port comparison byte code operation
actually has the second inet_diag_bc_op from which we read the port
for such operations.
Previously the code blindly referenced op[1] without first checking
whether a second inet_diag_bc_op struct could fit there. So a
malicious user could make the kernel read 4 bytes beyond the end of
the bytecode array by claiming to have a whole port comparison byte
code (2 inet_diag_bc_op structs) when in fact the bytecode was not
long enough to hold both.

Add logic to check the address family of the user-supplied conditional
and the address family of the connection entry. We now do not do
prefix matching of addresses from different address families (AF_INET
vs AF_INET6), except for the previously existing support for having an
IPv4 prefix match an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address (which this commit
maintains as-is).
This change is needed for two reasons:
(1) The addresses are different lengths, so comparing a 128-bit IPv6
prefix match condition to a 32-bit IPv4 connection address can cause
us to unwittingly walk off the end of the IPv4 address and read
garbage or oops.
(2) The IPv4 and IPv6 address spaces are semantically distinct, so a
simple bit-wise comparison of the prefixes is not meaningful, and
would lead to bogus results (except for the IPv4-mapped IPv6 case,
which this commit maintains).

Add logic to validate INET_DIAG_BC_S_COND and INET_DIAG_BC_D_COND

Previously we did not validate the inet_diag_hostcond, address family,
address length, and prefix length. So a malicious user could make the
kernel read beyond the end of the bytecode array by claiming to have a
whole inet_diag_hostcond when the bytecode was not long enough to
contain a whole inet_diag_hostcond of the given address family. Or
they could make the kernel read up to about 27 bytes beyond the end of
a connection address by passing a prefix length that exceeded the
length of addresses of the given family.

Fix inet_diag to be aware of the fact that AF_INET6 TCP connections
instantiated for IPv4 traffic and in the SYN-RECV state were actually
created with inet_reqsk_alloc(), instead of inet6_reqsk_alloc(). This
means that for such connections inet6_rsk(req) returns a pointer to a
random spot in memory up to roughly 64KB beyond the end of the
request_sock.
With this bug, for a server using AF_INET6 TCP sockets and serving
IPv4 traffic, an inet_diag user like `ss state SYN-RECV` would lead to
inet_diag_fill_req() causing an oops or the export to user space of 16
bytes of kernel memory as a garbage IPv6 address, depending on where
the garbage inet6_rsk(req) pointed.

commit c702418f8a2f ("mm: vmscan: do not keep kswapd looping forever due
to individual uncompactable zones") removed zone watermark checks from
the compaction code in kswapd but left in the zone congestion clearing,
which now happens unconditionally on higher order reclaim.
This messes up the reclaim throttling logic for zones with
dirty/writeback pages, where zones should only lose their congestion
status when their watermarks have been restored.
Remove the clearing from the zone compaction section entirely. The
preliminary zone check and the reclaim loop in kswapd will clear it if
the zone is considered balanced.

The direct-IO write path already had the i_size checks in mm/filemap.c,
but it turns out the read path did not, and removing the block size
checks in fs/block_dev.c (commit bbec0270bdd8: "blkdev_max_block: make
private to fs/buffer.c") removed the magic "shrink IO to past the end of
the device" code there.
Fix it by truncating the IO to the size of the block device, like the
write path already does.
NOTE! I suspect the write path would be *much* better off doing it this
way in fs/block_dev.c, rather than hidden deep in mm/filemap.c. The
mm/filemap.c code is extremely hard to follow, and has various
conditionals on the target being a block device (ie the flag passed in
to 'generic_write_checks()', along with a conditional update of the
inode timestamp etc).
It is also quite possible that we should treat this whole block device
size as a "s_maxbytes" issue, and try to make the logic even more
generic. However, in the meantime this is the fairly minimal targeted
fix.

commit 2e71a6f8084e (net: gro: selective flush of packets) added
a bug for skbs using frag_list. This part of the GRO stack is rarely

If SYN-ACK partially acks SYN-data, the client retransmits the
remaining data by tcp_retransmit_skb(). This increments lost recovery
state variables like tp->retrans_out in Open state. If loss recovery
happens before the retransmission is acked, it triggers the WARN_ON
check in tcp_fastretrans_alert(). For example: the client sends
SYN-data, gets SYN-ACK acking only ISN, retransmits data, sends
another 4 data packets and get 3 dupacks.
Since the retransmission is not caused by network drop it should not
update the recovery state variables. Further the server may return a
smaller MSS than the cached MSS used for SYN-data, so the retranmission
needs a loop. Otherwise some data will not be retransmitted until timeout
or other loss recovery events.

This fixes a regression in 3.7-rc, which has since gone into stable.
Commit 00442ad04a5e ("mempolicy: fix a memory corruption by refcount
imbalance in alloc_pages_vma()") changed get_vma_policy() to raise the
refcount on a shmem shared mempolicy; whereas shmem_alloc_page() went
on expecting alloc_page_vma() to drop the refcount it had acquired.
This deserves a rework: but for now fix the leak in shmem_alloc_page().
Hugh: shmem_swapin() did not need a fix, but surely it's clearer to use
the same refcounting there as in shmem_alloc_page(), delete its onstack
mempolicy, and the strange mpol_cond_copy() and __mpol_cond_copy() -
those were invented to let swapin_readahead() make an unknown number of
calls to alloc_pages_vma() with one mempolicy; but since 00442ad04a5e,
alloc_pages_vma() has kept refcount in balance, so now no problem.

uncompactable zones
When a zone meets its high watermark and is compactable in case of
higher order allocations, it contributes to the percentage of the node's
memory that is considered balanced.
This requirement, that a node be only partially balanced, came about
when kswapd was desparately trying to balance tiny zones when all bigger
zones in the node had plenty of free memory. Arguably, the same should
apply to compaction: if a significant part of the node is balanced
enough to run compaction, do not get hung up on that tiny zone that
might never get in shape.
When the compaction logic in kswapd is reached, we know that at least
25% of the node's memory is balanced properly for compaction (see
zone_balanced and pgdat_balanced). Remove the individual zone checks
that restart the kswapd cycle.
Otherwise, we may observe more endless looping in kswapd where the
compaction code loops back to reclaim because of a single zone and
reclaim does nothing because the node is considered balanced overall.

Commit 0bf380bc70ec ("mm: compaction: check pfn_valid when entering a
new MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block during isolation for migration") added a
check for pfn_valid() when isolating pages for migration as the scanner
does not necessarily start pageblock-aligned.
Since commit c89511ab2f8f ("mm: compaction: Restart compaction from near
where it left off"), the free scanner has the same problem. This patch
makes sure that the pfn range passed to isolate_freepages_block() is
within the same block so that pfn_valid() checks are unnecessary.
In answer to Henrik's wondering why others have not reported this:
reproducing this requires a large enough hole with the right aligment to
have compaction walk into a PFN range with no memmap. Size and
alignment depends in the memory model - 4M for FLATMEM and 128M for
SPARSEMEM on x86. It needs a "lucky" machine.

The problem occurs [1] when a kernel-mode task returns from a system
call with a pending signal.
A real-life scenario is a child of 'khelper' returning from a failed
kernel_execve() in ____call_usermodehelper() [ kernel/kmod.c ].
kernel_execve() fails due to a pending SIGKILL, which is the result of
"kill -9 -1" (at least, busybox's init does it upon reboot).
The loop is as follows:
* syscall_exit_work:
- work_pending: // start_of_the_loop
- work_notifysig:
- do_notify_resume()
- do_signal()
- if (!user_mode(regs)) return;
- resume_userspace // TIF_SIGPENDING is still set
- work_pending // so we call work_pending => goto
// start_of_the_loop

Don't use enum-type bitfields in the module signature info block as we can't be
certain how the compiler will handle them. As I understand it, it is arch
dependent, and it is possible for the compiler to rearrange them based on
endianness and to insert a byte of padding to pad the three enums out to four
bytes.
Instead use u8 fields for these, which the compiler should emit in the right
order without padding.

The reason is that commit bcd951cf(watchdog: Use hotplug thread
infrastructure) missed to take this into account. So the cpu offline
code gets stuck in the teardown function because it accesses non
initialized data structures.
Add a check for watchdog_enabled into that path to cure the issue.

Pull workqueue fixes from Tejun Heo:
"So, safe fixes my ass.
Commit 8852aac25e79 ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue
timer on 0 delay") had the side-effect of performing delayed_work
sanity checks even when @delay is 0, which should be fine for any sane
use cases.
Unfortunately, megaraid was being overly ingenious. It seemingly
wanted to use cancel_delayed_work_sync() before cancel_work_sync() was
introduced, but didn't want to waste the space for full delayed_work
as it was only going to use 0 @delay. So, it only allocated space for
struct work_struct and then cast it to struct delayed_work and passed
it into delayed_work functions - truly awesome engineering tradeoff to
save some bytes.
Xiaotian fixed it by making megraid allocate full delayed_work for

By using the native syscall entry point the kernel was also expecting
64-bit iovec structures.
This is broken since ddd9e91b71072b8ebe89311c3a44b077defa1756 [preadv/
pwritev: MIPS: Add preadv(2) and pwritev(2) syscalls.] which originally
added these two syscalls. I walked through piles of code, including
libc and couldn't find anything that would have worked around the issue
so this change the API to what it should always have been.
Noticed and patch suggested by Al Viro.

Pull sparc fixes from David Miller:
"Two small fixes for Sparc, nobody uses sparc, so these are low risk :-)
1) Piggyback is too picky about the symbol types that _start and _end
have in the final kernel image, and it thus breaks with newer
binutils. Future proof by getting rid of the symbol type checks.
2) exit_group() should kill register windows on sparc64 the same way
we do for plain exit(). Thanks to Al Viro for spotting this."

The block device access simplification that avoided accessing the (racy)
block size information (commit bbec0270bdd8: "blkdev_max_block: make
private to fs/buffer.c") no longer checks the maximum block size in the
block mapping path.
That was _almost_ as simple as just removing the code entirely, because
the readers and writers all check the size of the device anyway, so
under normal circumstances it "just worked".
However, the block size may be such that the end of the device may
straddle one single buffer_head. At which point we may still want to
access the end of the device, but the buffer we use to access it
partially extends past the end.
The 'bd_set_size()' function intentionally sets the block size to avoid
this, but mounting the device - or setting the block size by hand to
some other value - can modify that block size.
So instead, teach 'submit_bh()' about the special case of the buffer
head straddling the end of the device, and turning such an access into a
smaller IO access, avoiding the problem.
This, btw, also means that unlike before, we can now access the whole
device regardless of device block size setting. So now, even if the
device size is only 512-byte aligned, we can read and write even the
last sector even when having a much bigger block size for accessing the
rest of the device.
So with this, we could now get rid of the 'bd_set_size()' block size
code entirely - resulting in faster IO for the common case - but that
would be a separate patch.

8852aac25e ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on
0 delay") unexpectedly uncovered a very nasty abuse of delayed_work in
megaraid - it allocated work_struct, casted it to delayed_work and
then pass that into queue_delayed_work().
Previously, this was okay because 0 @delay short-circuited to
queue_work() before doing anything with delayed_work. 8852aac25e
moved 0 @delay test into __queue_delayed_work() after sanity check on
delayed_work making megaraid trigger BUG_ON().
Although megaraid is already fixed by c1d390d8e6 ("megaraid: fix
BUG_ON() from incorrect use of delayed work"), this patch converts
BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s so that such
abusers, if there are more, trigger warning but don't crash the
machine.

Problem:
1) Huge page mapping of anonymous memory is initially invalid. Will be
faulted in by copy-on-write mechanism.
2) Userspace attempts store at the end of the huge mapping.
3) TLB Refill exception handler fill TLB with a normal (4K sized)
invalid page at the end of the huge mapping virtual address range.
4) Userspace restarted, and re-attempts the store at the end of the
huge mapping.
5) Page from #3 is invalid, we get a fault and go to the hugepage
fault handler. This tries to map a huge page and calls
huge_ptep_set_access_flags() to install the mapping.
6) We just call the generic ptep_set_access_flags() to set up the page
tables, but the flush there assumes a normal (4K sized) page and
only tries to flush the first part of the huge page virtual address
out of the TLB, since the existing entry from step #3 doesn't
conflict, nothing is flushed.
7) We attempt to load the mapping into the TLB, but because it
conflicts with the entry from step #3, we get a Machine Check
exception.
The fix: Flush the entire rage covered by the huge page in
huge_ptep_set_access_flags(), and remove the optimization in
local_flush_tlb_range() so that the flush actually does the correct
thing.

megaraid use INIT_WORK to declare a hotplug_work, but cast the
hotplug_work from work_struct to delayed_work and
schedule_delayed_work on it. This is very dangerous, as other part of
delayed_work might be kernel memories allocated by others.
With commit 8852aac ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue
timer on 0 delay"), schedule_delayed_work() will check dwork->timer
before queue_work even when @delay is 0, this causes megaraid code to
hit the BUG_ON() in workqueue code. Change megaraid code to use
delayed work.

As ubi_self_check_all_ff() might sleep we are not allowed
to call it from atomic context.
For now we call it only from ubi_wl_get_peb().
There are some code paths where it would also make sense,
but these paths are currently atomic and only enabled
when fastmap is used.

Newer versions of binutils mark '_end' as 'B' instead of 'A' for
whatever reason.
To be honest, the piggyback code doesn't actually care what kind
of symbol _start and _end are, it just wants to find them and
record the address.
So remove the type from the match strings.
