packet: tpacket_v3: do not trigger bug() on wrong header status
Jakub reported that it is fairly easy to trigger the BUG() macro
from user space with TPACKET_V3's RX_RING by just giving a wrong
header status flag. We already had a similar situation in commit 7f5c3e3a80e6654 (``af_packet: remove BUG statement in
tpacket_destruct_skb'') where this was the case in the TX_RING
side that could be triggered from user space. So really, don't use
BUG() or BUG_ON() unless there's really no way out, and i.e.
don't use it for consistency checking when there's user space
involved, no excuses, especially not if you're slapping the user
with WARN + dump_stack + BUG all at once. The two functions are
of concern:
Calls to prb_open_block() are guarded by ealier checks if block_status
is really TP_STATUS_KERNEL (racy!), but the first one BUG() is easily
triggable from user space. System behaves still stable after they are
removed. Also remove that yoda condition entirely, since it's already
guarded.

It is easily reproducable by setting an MTU of 512 e. g. and sending
something like
ping -s 1472 -c 1 -M do $SELF
from another box.
And this is because the rx->ax_skb is freed on error, but rx->ax_skb
is not reset, and the size is not reset to zero in this case.
And since the skb is added again to the usbnet->done skb queue it is
accessing already freed memory, resulting in the BUG when freeing a
2nd time. I therefore think the value 0x0000004000000001 show in the
trace is more or less random data.

tipc: pskb_copy() buffers when sending on more than one bearer
When sending packets, TIPC bearers use skb_clone() before writing their
hardware header. This will however NOT copy the data buffer.
So when the same packet is sent over multiple bearers (to reach multiple
nodes), the same socket buffer data will be treated by multiple
tipc_media drivers which will write their own hardware header through
dev_hard_header().
Most of the time this is not a problem, because by the time the
packet is processed by the second media, it has already been sent over
the first one. However, when the first transmission is delayed (e.g.
because of insufficient bandwidth or through a shaper), the next bearer
will overwrite the hardware header, resulting in the packet being sent:
a) with the wrong source address, when bearers of the same type,
e.g. ethernet, are involved
b) with a completely corrupt header, or even dropped, when bearers of
different types are involved.
So when the same socket buffer is to be sent multiple times, send a
pskb_copy() instead (from the second instance on), and release it
afterwards (the bearer will skb_clone() it anyway).

drivers: net: cpsw: irq not disabled in cpsw isr in particular sequence
In CPSW NAPI, after processing all interrupts IRQ is enabled and then book
keeping irq_enabled is updated. In random cases when a packet is transmitted
or received between processing packets and IRQ enabled, then just after
enabled IRQ and before irq_enabled is updated, ISR is called so IRQs are
not disabled as irq_enabled is still false and CPU gets locked in CPSW ISR.
By changing the sequence as update the irq_enabled and then enable IRQ
fixes the issue. This issue is not captured always as it is a timing issue
whether Tx or Rx IRQ is invoked between packet processing and enable IRQ.

af_unix: fix a fatal race with bit fields
Using bit fields is dangerous on ppc64/sparc64, as the compiler [1]
uses 64bit instructions to manipulate them.
If the 64bit word includes any atomic_t or spinlock_t, we can lose
critical concurrent changes.
This is happening in af_unix, where unix_sk(sk)->gc_candidate/
gc_maybe_cycle/lock share the same 64bit word.
This leads to fatal deadlock, as one/several cpus spin forever
on a spinlock that will never be available again.
A safer way would be to use a long to store flags.
This way we are sure compiler/arch wont do bad things.
As we own unix_gc_lock spinlock when clearing or setting bits,
we can use the non atomic __set_bit()/__clear_bit().
recursion_level can share the same 64bit location with the spinlock,
as it is set only with this spinlock held.

Most normal user-level locking by now uses futexes (ie pthreads, but
also a lot of specialized locks), but SysV IPC semaphores are apparently
still used in some big applications, either for portability reasons, or
because they offer tracking and undo (and you don't need to have a
special shared memory area for them).

ranges, and we used to have a single ipc lock per ipc semaphore array.

ipc: remove bogus lock comment for ipc_checkid
This series makes the sysv semaphore code more scalable, by reducing the
time the semaphore lock is held, and making the locking more scalable for
semaphore arrays with multiple semaphores.
The first four patches were written by Davidlohr Buesso, and reduce the
hold time of the semaphore lock.
The last three patches change the sysv semaphore code locking to be more
fine grained, providing a performance boost when multiple semaphores in a
semaphore array are being manipulated simultaneously.
On a 24 CPU system, performance numbers with the semop-multi
test with N threads and N semaphores, look like this:

tty: fix up atime/mtime mess, take three
We first tried to avoid updating atime/mtime entirely (commit b0de59b5733d: "TTY: do not update atime/mtime on read/write"), and then
limited it to only update it occasionally (commit 37b7f3c76595: "TTY:
fix atime/mtime regression"), but it turns out that this was both
insufficient and overkill.
It was insufficient because we let people attach to the shared ptmx node
to see activity without even reading atime/mtime, and it was overkill
because the "only once a minute" means that you can't really tell an
idle person from an active one with 'w'.
So this tries to fix the problem properly. It marks the shared ptmx
node as un-notifiable, and it lowers the "only once a minute" to a few
seconds instead - still long enough that you can't time individual
keystrokes, but short enough that you can tell whether somebody is
active or not.

dma-buf: replace dma_buf_export() with dma_buf_export_named()
For debugging purposes, it is useful to have a name-string added
while exporting buffers. Hence, dma_buf_export() is replaced with
dma_buf_export_named(), which additionally takes 'exp_name' as a
parameter.
For backward compatibility, and for lazy exporters who don't wish to
name themselves, a #define dma_buf_export() is also made available,
which adds a __FILE__ instead of 'exp_name'.
