The timeout pointer parameter is provided by userland (hence the __user
annotation) but for x32 syscalls it's simply cast to a kernel pointer
and is passed to __sys_recvmmsg which will eventually directly
dereference it for both reading and writing. Other callers to
__sys_recvmmsg properly copy from userland to the kernel first.
The bug was introduced by commit ee4fa23c4bfc ("compat: Use
COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME in net/compat.c") and should affect all kernels
since 3.4 (and perhaps vendor kernels if they backported x32 support
along with this code).
Note that CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI gets enabled at build time and only if
CONFIG_X86_X32 is enabled and ld can build x32 executables.
Other uses of COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME seem fine.
This addresses CVE-2014-0038.

mm, oom: base root bonus on current usage
A 3% of system memory bonus is sometimes too excessive in comparison to
other processes.
With commit a63d83f427fb ("oom: badness heuristic rewrite"), the OOM
killer tries to avoid killing privileged tasks by subtracting 3% of
overall memory (system or cgroup) from their per-task consumption. But
as a result, all root tasks that consume less than 3% of overall memory
are considered equal, and so it only takes 33+ privileged tasks pushing
the system out of memory for the OOM killer to do something stupid and
kill dhclient or other root-owned processes. For example, on a 32G
machine it can't tell the difference between the 1M agetty and the 10G
fork bomb member.
The changelog describes this 3% boost as the equivalent to the global
overcommit limit being 3% higher for privileged tasks, but this is not
the same as discounting 3% of overall memory from _every privileged task
individually_ during OOM selection.
Replace the 3% of system memory bonus with a 3% of current memory usage
bonus.
By giving root tasks a bonus that is proportional to their actual size,
they remain comparable even when relatively small. In the example
above, the OOM killer will discount the 1M agetty's 256 badness points
down to 179, and the 10G fork bomb's 262144 points down to 183500 points
and make the right choice, instead of discounting both to 0 and killing
agetty because it's first in the task list.

mm: don't lose the SOFT_DIRTY flag on mprotect
The SOFT_DIRTY bit shows that the content of memory was changed after a
defined point in the past. mprotect() doesn't change the content of
memory, so it must not change the SOFT_DIRTY bit.
This bug causes a malfunction: on the first iteration all pages are
dumped. On other iterations only pages with the SOFT_DIRTY bit are
dumped. So if the SOFT_DIRTY bit is cleared from a page by mistake, the
page is not dumped and its content will be restored incorrectly.
This patch does nothing with _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY, becase pte_modify()
is called only for present pages.

mm/slub.c: fix page->_count corruption (again)
Commit abca7c496584 ("mm: fix slab->page _count corruption when using
slub") notes that we can not _set_ a page->counters directly, except
when using a real double-cmpxchg. Doing so can lose updates to
->_count.
That is an absolute rule:
You may not *set* page->counters except via a cmpxchg.
Commit abca7c496584 fixed this for the folks who have the slub
cmpxchg_double code turned off at compile time, but it left the bad case
alone. It can still be reached, and the same bug triggered in two
cases:
1. Turning on slub debugging at runtime, which is available on
the distro kernels that I looked at.
2. On 64-bit CPUs with no CMPXCHG16B (some early AMD x86-64
cpus, evidently)
There are at least 3 ways we could fix this:
1. Take all of the exising calls to cmpxchg_double_slab() and
__cmpxchg_double_slab() and convert them to take an old, new
and target 'struct page'.
2. Do (1), but with the newly-introduced 'slub_data'.
3. Do some magic inside the two cmpxchg...slab() functions to
pull the counters out of new_counters and only set those
fields in page->{inuse,frozen,objects}.
I've done (2) as well, but it's a bunch more code. This patch is an
attempt at (3). This was the most straightforward and foolproof way
that I could think to do this.
This would also technically allow us to get rid of the ugly
in 'struct page', but leaving it alone has the added benefit that
'counters' stays 'unsigned' instead of 'unsigned long', so all the
copies that the slub code does stay a bit smaller.

zram: promote zram from staging
Zram has lived in staging for a LONG LONG time and have been
fixed/improved by many contributors so code is clean and stable now. Of
course, there are lots of product using zram in real practice.
The major TV companys have used zram as swap since two years ago and
recently our production team released android smart phone with zram
which is used as swap, too and recently Android Kitkat start to use zram
for small memory smart phone. And there was a report Google released
their ChromeOS with zram, too and cyanogenmod have been used zram long
time ago. And I heard some disto have used zram block device for tmpfs.
In addition, I saw many report from many other peoples. For example,
Lubuntu start to use it.
The benefit of zram is very clear. With my experience, one of the
benefit was to remove jitter of video application with backgroud memory
pressure. It would be effect of efficient memory usage by compression
but more issue is whether swap is there or not in the system. Recent
mobile platforms have used JAVA so there are many anonymous pages. But
embedded system normally are reluctant to use eMMC or SDCard as swap
because there is wear-leveling and latency issues so if we do not use
swap, it means we can't reclaim anoymous pages and at last, we could
encounter OOM kill. :(
Although we have real storage as swap, it was a problem, too. Because
it sometime ends up making system very unresponsible caused by slow swap
storage performance.
Quote from Luigi on Google
"Since Chrome OS was mentioned: the main reason why we don't use swap
to a disk (rotating or SSD) is because it doesn't degrade gracefully
and leads to a bad interactive experience. Generally we prefer to
manage RAM at a higher level, by transparently killing and restarting
processes. But we noticed that zram is fast enough to be competitive
with the latter, and it lets us make more efficient use of the
available RAM. " and he announced.
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg57717.html
Other uses case is to use zram for block device. Zram is block device
so anyone can format the block device and mount on it so some guys on

zsmalloc: move it under mm
This patch moves zsmalloc under mm directory.
Before that, description will explain why we have needed custom
allocator.
Zsmalloc is a new slab-based memory allocator for storing compressed
pages. It is designed for low fragmentation and high allocation success
rate on large object, but <= PAGE_SIZE allocations.
zsmalloc differs from the kernel slab allocator in two primary ways to
achieve these design goals.
zsmalloc never requires high order page allocations to back slabs, or
"size classes" in zsmalloc terms. Instead it allows multiple
single-order pages to be stitched together into a "zspage" which backs
the slab. This allows for higher allocation success rate under memory
pressure.
Also, zsmalloc allows objects to span page boundaries within the zspage.
This allows for lower fragmentation than could be had with the kernel
slab allocator for objects between PAGE_SIZE/2 and PAGE_SIZE. With the
kernel slab allocator, if a page compresses to 60% of it original size,
the memory savings gained through compression is lost in fragmentation
because another object of the same size can't be stored in the leftover
space.
This ability to span pages results in zsmalloc allocations not being
directly addressable by the user. The user is given an
non-dereferencable handle in response to an allocation request. That
handle must be mapped, using zs_map_object(), which returns a pointer to
the mapped region that can be used. The mapping is necessary since the
object data may reside in two different noncontigious pages.
The zsmalloc fulfills the allocation needs for zram perfectly

Chris Mason reported a NULL pointer derefernence in generic_getxattr()

The reason is that the nfs #ifdef's for ACL support were misplaced, and
the nfs3 inode operations had the xattr operation pointers set up, even
though xattrs were not actually supported. As a result, the xattr code
was being called without the infrastructure having been set up.
Move the #ifdef's appropriately.

dma-debug: fix overlap detection
Commit 0abdd7a81b7e ("dma-debug: introduce debug_dma_assert_idle()") was
reworked to expand the overlap counter to the full range expressable by
3 tag bits, but it has a thinko in treating the overlap counter as a
pure reference count for the entry.
Instead of deleting when the reference-count drops to zero, we need to
delete when the overlap-count drops below zero. Also, when detecting
overflow we can just test the overlap-count > MAX rather than applying
special meaning to 0.

mm/readahead.c: fix do_readahead() for no readpage(s)
Commit 63d0f0a3c7e1 ("mm/readahead.c:do_readhead(): don't check for
->readpage") unintentionally made do_readahead return 0 for all valid
files regardless of whether readahead was supported, rather than the
expected -EINVAL. This gets forwarded on to userspace, and results in
sys_readahead appearing to succeed in cases that don't make sense (e.g.
when called on pipes or sockets). This issue is detected by the LTP
readahead01 testcase.
As the exact return value of force_page_cache_readahead is currently
never used, we can simplify it to return only 0 or -EINVAL (when
readpage or readpages is missing). With that in place we can simply
forward on the return value of force_page_cache_readahead in
do_readahead.
This patch performs said change, restoring the expected semantics.

slab: fix wrong retval on kmem_cache_create_memcg error path

allocate the cache, or pointing to a freed area if we failed somewhere
later while trying to initialize it. Initially we checked 'err'
immediately before exiting the function and returned NULL if it was set
ignoring the value of 's':
As a result, if we are failing creating a cache for a memcg, we will
skip the check and return 's' that can contain crap. Obviously, commit f717eb3abb5e intended not to return crap on error allocating a cache for
a memcg, but only to remove the error reporting in this case, so the

mm/page-writeback.c: do not count anon pages as dirtyable memory
The VM is currently heavily tuned to avoid swapping. Whether that is
good or bad is a separate discussion, but as long as the VM won't swap
to make room for dirty cache, we can not consider anonymous pages when
calculating the amount of dirtyable memory, the baseline to which
dirty_background_ratio and dirty_ratio are applied.
A simple workload that occupies a significant size (40+%, depending on
memory layout, storage speeds etc.) of memory with anon/tmpfs pages and
uses the remainder for a streaming writer demonstrates this problem. In
that case, the actual cache pages are a small fraction of what is
considered dirtyable overall, which results in an relatively large
portion of the cache pages to be dirtied. As kswapd starts rotating
these, random tasks enter direct reclaim and stall on IO.
Only consider free pages and file pages dirtyable.

mm/page-writeback.c: fix dirty_balance_reserve subtraction from dirtyable memory
Tejun reported stuttering and latency spikes on a system where random
tasks would enter direct reclaim and get stuck on dirty pages. Around
50% of memory was occupied by tmpfs backed by an SSD, and another disk
(rotating) was reading and writing at max speed to shrink a partition.
: The problem was pretty ridiculous. It's a 8gig machine w/ one ssd and 10k
: rpm harddrive and I could reliably reproduce constant stuttering every
: several seconds for as long as buffered IO was going on on the hard drive
: either with tmpfs occupying somewhere above 4gig or a test program which
: allocates about the same amount of anon memory. Although swap usage was
: zero, turning off swap also made the problem go away too.
:
: The trigger conditions seem quite plausible - high anon memory usage w/
: heavy buffered IO and swap configured - and it's highly likely that this
: is happening in the wild too. (this can happen with copying large files
: to usb sticks too, right?)
This patch (of 2):
The dirty_balance_reserve is an approximation of the fraction of free
pages that the page allocator does not make available for page cache
allocations. As a result, it has to be taken into account when
calculating the amount of "dirtyable memory", the baseline to which
dirty_background_ratio and dirty_ratio are applied.
However, currently the reserve is subtracted from the sum of free and
reclaimable pages, which is non-sensical and leads to erroneous results
when the system is dominated by unreclaimable pages and the
dirty_balance_reserve is bigger than free+reclaimable. In that case, at
least the already allocated cache should be considered dirtyable.
Fix the calculation by subtracting the reserve from the amount of free
pages, then adding the reclaimable pages on top.

mm: document improved handling of swappiness==0
Prior to commit fe35004fbf9e ("mm: avoid swapping out with

recently used user anonymous memory to swap even though there is a
significant amount of RAM used for page cache.
The behaviour of setting swappiness to 0 has since changed. When set,
the reclaim code does not initiate swap until the amount of free pages
and file-backed pages, is less than the high water mark in a zone.

drm/nouveau: resume display if any later suspend bits fail
If either idling channels or suspending the fence were to fail, the
display would never be resumed. Also if a client fails, resume the fence
(not functionally important, but it would potentially leak memory).

drm/nv50: fill in crtc mode struct members from crtc_mode_fixup
The DRM uses the adjusted mode to calculate constants for vblank
timestamping. Our encoder mode_fixup (usually) replaces this data
with our backend mode information, which doesn't have the needed
data filled in already.

drm/radeon/dce8: workaround for atom BlankCrtc table
Some DCE8 boards have a funky BlankCrtc table that results
in a timeout when trying to blank the display. The
timeout is harmless (all operations needed from the table
are complete), but wastes time and is confusing to users so
work around it.
Forcing a display active when there is none causes problems with
dpm on some SI boards which results in improperly initialized
dpm state and boot failures on some boards. As for the bug commit 4573388c92ee tried to address, one can manually force the state to
high for better performance when using the card as a headless compute
node until a better fix is developed.

drm/radeon: clean up active vram sizing
If we are not able to properly initialize one of the gpu
engines for buffer paging, we limit vram to the size of
the cpu visible aperture. We generally either use the gfx
or dma engine to do this. Clean up the size limiting code
to only adjust the size based on what ring is selected
for buffer paging rather than making assumptions about which
engine is selected for paging.

drm/radeon: skip async dma init on r6xx
The hw is buggy and it's not currently used, but it's
currently still initialized by the driver. Skip the init.
Skipping init also seems to improve stability with dpm on
some r6xx asics.
