debugobjects is now printing a warning when a fixup for a NOTAVAILABLE
object is run. This causes the selftest to fail like:
ODEBUG: selftest warnings failed 4 != 5
We could just increase the number of warnings that the selftest is
expecting to see because that is actually what has changed. But, it turns
out that fixup_activate() was written with inverted logic and thus a fixup
for a static object returned 1 indicating the object had been fixed, and 0
otherwise. Fix the logic to be correct and update the counts to reflect
that nothing needed fixing for a static object.

We have forgotten the rules of lock nesting: the irq-safe ones must be
taken inside the non-irq-safe ones, otherwise we are open to deadlock:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(&(&pc->lock)->rlock);
local_irq_disable();
lock(&(&zone->lru_lock)->rlock);
lock(&(&pc->lock)->rlock);
<Interrupt>
lock(&(&zone->lru_lock)->rlock);
To check a different locking issue, I happened to add a spin_lock to
memcg's bit_spin_lock in lock_page_cgroup(), and lockdep very quickly
complained about __mem_cgroup_commit_charge_lrucare() (on CPU1 above).
So delete __mem_cgroup_commit_charge_lrucare(), passing a bool lrucare to
__mem_cgroup_commit_charge() instead, taking zone->lru_lock under
lock_page_cgroup() in the lrucare case.
The original was using spin_lock_irqsave, but we'd be in more trouble if
it were ever called at interrupt time: unconditional _irq is enough. And
ClearPageLRU before del from lru, SetPageLRU before add to lru: no strong
reason, but that is the ordering used consistently elsewhere.
Fixes 36b62ad539 ("memcg: simplify corner case handling
of LRU").

check_hung_uninterruptible_tasks()->rcu_lock_break() introduced by
"softlockup: check all tasks in hung_task" commit ce9dbe24 looks
absolutely wrong.
- rcu_lock_break() does put_task_struct(). If the task has exited
it is not safe to even read its ->state, nothing protects this
task_struct.
- The TASK_DEAD checks are wrong too. Contrary to the comment, we
can't use it to check if the task was unhashed. It can be unhashed
without TASK_DEAD, or it can be valid with TASK_DEAD.
For example, an autoreaping task can do release_task(current)
long before it sets TASK_DEAD in do_exit().
Or, a zombie task can have ->state == TASK_DEAD but release_task()
was not called, and in this case we must not break the loop.
Change this code to check pid_alive() instead, and do this before we drop
the reference to the task_struct.
Note: while_each_thread() under rcu_read_lock() is not really safe, it can
livelock. This will be fixed later, but fortunately in this case the
"max_count" logic saves us anyway.

Make vfork() killable.
Change do_fork(CLONE_VFORK) to do wait_for_completion_killable(). If it
fails we do not return to the user-mode and never touch the memory shared
with our child.
However, in this case we should clear child->vfork_done before return, we
use task_lock() in do_fork()->wait_for_vfork_done() and
complete_vfork_done() to serialize with each other.
Note: now that we use task_lock() we don't really need completion, we
could turn task->vfork_done into "task_struct *wake_up_me" but this needs
some complications.
NOTE: this and the next patches do not affect in-kernel users of
CLONE_VFORK, kernel threads run with all signals ignored including
SIGKILL/SIGSTOP.
However this is obviously the user-visible change. Not only a fatal
signal can kill the vforking parent, a sub-thread can do execve or
exit_group() and kill the thread sleeping in vfork().

The problem lies with the allocation batching code. It will
opportunistically allocate kiocbs, and then trim back the list of iocbs
when there is not enough room in the completion ring to hold all of the
events.
In the case above, what happens is that the pruning back of events ends
up freeing up the last active request and the context is marked as dead,
so it is thus responsible for waking up waiters. Unfortunately, the
code does not check for this condition, so we end up with a hung task.

Since commit 04c6862c05 ("kmsg_dump: add kmsg_dump() calls to the
reboot, halt, poweroff and emergency_restart paths"), kmsg_dump() gets
run on normal paths including poweroff and reboot.
This is less than ideal given pstore implementations that can only
represent single backtraces, since a reboot may overwrite a stored oops
before it's been picked up by userspace. In addition, some pstore
backends may have low performance and provide a significant delay in
reboot as a result.
This patch adds a printk.always_kmsg_dump kernel parameter (which can also
be changed from userspace). Without it, the code will only be run on
failure paths rather than on normal paths. The option can be enabled in
environments where there's a desire to attempt to audit whether or not a
reboot was cleanly requested or not.

- turn down a couple of messages that were meant to be debug and are
causing much confusion
- ensure the hotplug interrupt is disabled on Cedartrail systems.
- fix a bug where gtt roll mode called psbfb_sync, which tries to sync
the 2D engine. On other devices it is harmless as the 2D engine is
present but not in use when in gtt roll mode, on Cedartrail it causes
a hang

Almost all callers are actually fine - flush_tlb_range() may have no

This patch adds an attribute, NL80211_ATTR_INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT,
to set the inactivity timeout which can be used to remove the
station in AP mode. This can be passed in NL80211_CMD_START_AP
and used by the drivers which have AP MLME in firmware but
don't support get_station() properly. To disable inactivity
timer in userspace, wpa_s for example, there is a new flag,
NL80211_FEATURE_INACTIVITY_TIMER, in nl80211_feature_flags
through which drivers can register their capability to use
the inactivity timeout to free the stations.

RANN, PREP and PERR propagation should happen only if the
dot11MeshForwarding is true. Besides, data frame should not be
forwarded if dot11MeshForwarding is false. This redundant checking
is necessary to avoid the broadcasted ARP breaking the non-forwarding
rule.

Some drivers use internal netdev stats member to store part of their
stats, yet advertize ndo_get_stats64() to implement some 64bit fields.
Allow them to use netdev_stats_to_stats64() helper to make the copy of
netdev stats before they compute their 64bit counters.

For A-MPDU rx it makes sense to only process the signal strength once per
aggregate instead of once per subframe. Additonally, some hardware (e.g.
Atheros) only provides valid signal strength information for the last
subframe.

I forgot to update the kernel-doc in my patch
to redesign AP mode APIs, fix that now.

Because of the constant size and guaranteed 16 bit alignment, the inline
compare_ether_addr function is much cheaper than calling memcmp.

Several MAC address comparison functions assume 16 bit alignment for pointers
passed to them. Since the addition of the control_port field, alignment
for the IBSS bssid was off by one, causing a severe performance hit on
architectures without efficient unaligned access (e.g. MIPS).
