Pull pivot_root() fix from Andy Lutomirski.
Prevent a leak of unreachable mounts.
* 'CVE-2014-7970' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/luto/linux:
mnt: Prevent pivot_root from creating a loop in the mount tree
Andy Lutomirski recently demonstrated that when chroot is used to set
the root path below the path for the new ``root'' passed to pivot_root
the pivot_root system call succeeds and leaks mounts.
In examining the code I see that starting with a new root that is
below the current root in the mount tree will result in a loop in the
mount tree after the mounts are detached and then reattached to one
another. Resulting in all kinds of ugliness including a leak of that
mounts involved in the leak of the mount loop.
Prevent this problem by ensuring that the new mount is reachable from
the current root of the mount tree.

Pull do_umount fix from Andy Lutomirski:
"This fix really ought to be safe. Inside a mountns owned by a
non-root user namespace, the namespace root almost always has
MNT_LOCKED set (if it doesn't, then there's a bug, because rootfs
could be exposed). In that case, calling umount on "/" will return
-EINVAL with or without this patch.
Outside a userns, this patch will have no effect. may_mount, required
by umount, already checks
ns_capable(current->nsproxy->mnt_ns->user_ns, CAP_SYS_ADMIN)
so an additional capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) check will have no effect.
That leaves anything that calls umount on "/" in a non-root userns
while chrooted. This is the case that is currently broken (it
remounts ro, which shouldn't be allowed) and that my patch changes to
-EPERM. If anything relies on *that*, I'd be surprised"

the ftrace code is reworked to get some of the lost performance
back if CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled.
- To improve boot time with CONFIG_DEBIG_PAGEALLOC, support for the
IPTE range facility is added.
- The rwlock code is re-factored to improve writer fairness and to be
able to use the interlocked-access instructions.
- The kernel part for the support of the vector extension is added.
- The device driver to access the CD/DVD on the HMC is added, this
will hopefully come in handy to improve the installation process.

For VMAs that don't want write notifications, PTEs created for read faults
have their write bit set. If the read fault happens after VM_SOFTDIRTY is
cleared, then the PTE's softdirty bit will remain clear after subsequent
writes.
Here's a simple code snippet to demonstrate the bug:
char* m = mmap(NULL, getpagesize(), PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_SHARED, -1, 0);
system("echo 4 > /proc/$PPID/clear_refs"); /* clear VM_SOFTDIRTY */
assert(*m == '\0'); /* new PTE allows write access */
assert(!soft_dirty(x));
*m = 'x'; /* should dirty the page */
assert(soft_dirty(x)); /* fails */
With this patch, write notifications are enabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is
cleared. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary faults, write notifications
are disabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is set.
As a side effect of enabling and disabling write notifications with
care, this patch fixes a bug in mprotect where vm_page_prot bits set by
drivers were zapped on mprotect. An analogous bug was fixed in mmap by
commit c9d0bf2414 ("mm: uncached vma support with writenotify").

Use watchdog_enable_hardlockup_detector() to set hard lockup detection's

In some cases we don't want hard lockup detection enabled by default.
An example is when running as a guest. Introduce
watchdog_enable_hardlockup_detector(bool)
allowing those cases to disable hard lockup detection. This must be
executed early by the boot processor from e.g. smp_prepare_boot_cpu, in
order to allow kernel command line arguments to override it, as well as
to avoid hard lockup detection being enabled before we've had a chance
to indicate that it's unwanted. In summary,
initial boot: default=enabled
smp_prepare_boot_cpu
watchdog_enable_hardlockup_detector(false): default=disabled
cmdline has 'nmi_watchdog=1': default=enabled
The running kernel still has the ability to enable/disable at any time
with /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog us usual. However even when the
default has been overridden /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog will initially
show '1'. To truly turn it on one must disable/enable it, i.e.
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
This patch will be immediately useful for KVM with the next patch of this
series. Other hypervisor guest types may find it useful as well.

In kernel we have %*pE specifier to print an escaped buffer. All users
now switched to that approach.
This fixes a bug as well. The current implementation wrongly prints
octal numbers: only two first digits are used in case when 3 are
required and the rest of the string ends up cut off.
Additionally by default the \f, \v, \a, and \e are escaped to their
alphabetic representation. It's safe to do since it is currently used
for messaging only.

This allows user to print a given buffer as an escaped string. The
rules are applied according to an optional mix of flags provided by
additional format letters.
For example, if the given buffer is:
1b 62 20 5c 43 07 22 90 0d 5d
The result strings would be:
%*pE "\eb \C\a"\220\r]"
%*pEhp "\x1bb \C\x07"\x90\x0d]"
%*pEa "\e\142\040\\\103\a\042\220\r\135"

This is almost the opposite function to string_unescape(). Nevertheless
it handles \0 and could be used for any byte buffer.
The documentation is supplied together with the function prototype.
The test cases covers most of the scenarios and would be expanded later
on.

The introduced function string_escape_mem() is a kind of opposite to
string_unescape. We have several users of such functionality each of
them created custom implementation. The series contains clean up of
test suite, adding new call, and switching few users to use it via %*pE
specifier.
Test suite covers all of existing and most of potential use cases.
This patch (of 11):
The documentation of API belongs to c-file. This patch moves it
accordingly.
There is no functional change.

If all the nodes are marked hotpluggable, alloc node data will fail.
Because __next_mem_range_rev() will skip the hotpluggable memory
regions. numa_clear_kernel_node_hotplug() is called after alloc node
data.
numa_init()
...
ret = init_func(); // this will mark hotpluggable flag from SRAT
...
memblock_set_bottom_up(false);
...
ret = numa_register_memblks(&numa_meminfo); // this will alloc node data(pglist_data)
...
numa_clear_kernel_node_hotplug(); // in case all the nodes are hotpluggable
...
numa_register_memblks()
setup_node_data()
memblock_find_in_range_node()
__memblock_find_range_top_down()
for_each_mem_range_rev()
__next_mem_range_rev()
This patch moves numa_clear_kernel_node_hotplug() into
numa_register_memblks(), clear kernel node hotpluggable flag before
alloc node data, then alloc node data won't fail even all the nodes
are hotpluggable.

It's very common for the buffer heads in the lru to have different block
numbers. By comparing the blocknr before the bdev and size we can
reduce the cost of searching in the very common case where all the
entries have the same bdev and size.
In quick hot cache cycle counting tests on a single fs workstation this
cut the cost of a miss by about 20%.
A diff of the disassembly shows the reordering of the bdev and blocknr
comparisons. This is in such a tiny loop that skipping one comparison
is a meaningful portion of the total work being done:

a slightly buggy strncasecmp. The latter is the POSIX name, so strnicmp
was renamed to strncasecmp, and strnicmp made into a wrapper for the new
