git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/libata Pull libata updates from Tejun Heo: "A lot of activities on libata side this time. - A lot of changes around ahci. Various embedded platforms are implementing ahci controllers. Some were built atop ahci_platform, others were doing their own things. Hans made some structural changes to libahci and librarized ahci_platform so that ahci platform drivers can share more common code. A couple platform drivers are added on top of that and several are added to replace older drivers which were doing their own things (older ones are scheduled to be removed). - Dan finishes the patchset to make libata PM operations asynchronous. Combined with one patch being routed through scsi, this should speed resume measurably. - Various fixes and cleanups from Bartlomiej and others" * 'for-3.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/libata: (61 commits) ata: fix Marvell SATA driver dependencies ata: fix ARASAN CompactFlash PATA driver dependencies ata: remove superfluous casts ata: sata_highbank: remove superfluous cast ata: fix Calxeda Highbank SATA driver dependencies ata: fix R-Car SATA driver dependencies ARM: davinci: da850: update SATA AHCI support ata: add new-style AHCI platform driver for DaVinci DA850 AHCI controller ata: move library code from ahci_platform.c to libahci_platform.c ata: ahci_platform: fix ahci_platform_data->suspend method handling libata: remove unused ata_sas_port_async_resume() stub libata.h: add stub for ata_sas_port_resume libata: async resume libata, libsas: kill pm_result and related cleanup ata: Fix compiler warning with APM X-Gene host controller driver arm64: Add APM X-Gene SoC AHCI SATA host controller DTS entries ata: Add APM X-Gene SoC AHCI SATA host controller driver Documentation: Add documentation for the APM X-Gene SoC SATA host controller DTS binding arm64: Add APM X-Gene SoC 15Gbps Multi-purpose PHY DTS entries ata: ahci_sunxi: fix code formatting ...

Pentium M Many Pentium M systems disable PAE but may have a functionally usable PAE implementation. This adds the "forcepae" parameter which bypasses the boot check for PAE, and sets the CPU as being PAE capable. Using this parameter will taint the kernel with TAINT_CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: "I know this is a bit more than you want to see, and I've told the wireless folks under no uncertain terms that they must severely scale back the extent of the fixes they are submitting this late in the game. Anyways: 1) vmxnet3's netpoll doesn't perform the equivalent of an ISR, which is the correct implementation, like it should. Instead it does something like a NAPI poll operation. This leads to crashes. From Neil Horman and Arnd Bergmann. 2) Segmentation of SKBs requires proper socket orphaning of the fragments, otherwise we might access stale state released by the release callbacks. This is a 5 patch fix, but the initial patches are giving variables and such significantly clearer names such that the actual fix itself at the end looks trivial. From Michael S. Tsirkin. 3) TCP control block release can deadlock if invoked from a timer on an already "owned" socket. Fix from Eric Dumazet. 4) In the bridge multicast code, we must validate that the destination address of general queries is the link local all-nodes multicast address. From Linus Lüssing. 5) The x86 BPF JIT support for negative offsets puts the parameter for the helper function call in the wrong register. Fix from Alexei Starovoitov. 6) The descriptor type used for RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_17 chips in the r8169 driver is incorrect. Fix from Hayes Wang. 7) The xen-netback driver tests skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_type bits to see if a packet is a GSO frame, but that's not the correct test. It should use skb_is_gso(skb) instead. Fix from Wei Liu. 8) Negative msg->msg_namelen values should generate an error, from Matthew Leach. 9) at86rf230 can deadlock because it takes the same lock from it's ISR and it's hard_start_xmit method, without disabling interrupts in the latter. Fix from Alexander Aring. 10) The FEC driver's restart doesn't perform operations in the correct order, so promiscuous settings can get lost. Fix from Stefan Wahren. 11) Fix SKB leak in SCTP cookie handling, from Daniel Borkmann. 12) Reference count and memory leak fixes in TIPC from Ying Xue and Erik Hugne. 13) Forced eviction in inet_frag_evictor() must strictly make sure all frags are deleted, otherwise module unload (f.e. 6lowpan) can crash. Fix from Florian Westphal. 14) Remove assumptions in AF_UNIX's use of csum_partial() (which it uses as a hash function), which breaks on PowerPC. From Anton Blanchard. The main gist of the issue is that csum_partial() is defined only as a value that, once folded (f.e. via csum_fold()) produces a correct 16-bit checksum. It is legitimate, therefore, for csum_partial() to produce two different 32-bit values over the same data if their respective alignments are different. 15) Fix endiannes bug in MAC address handling of ibmveth driver, also from Anton Blanchard. 16) Error checks for ipv6 exthdrs offload registration are reversed, from Anton Nayshtut. 17) Externally triggered ipv6 addrconf routes should count against the garbage collection threshold. Fix from Sabrina Dubroca. 18) The PCI shutdown handler added to the bnx2 driver can wedge the chip if it was not brought up earlier already, which in particular causes the firmware to shut down the PHY. Fix from Michael Chan. 19) Adjust the sanity WARN_ON_ONCE() in qdisc_list_add() because as currently coded it can and does trigger in legitimate situations. From Eric Dumazet. 20) BNA driver fails to build on ARM because of a too large udelay() call, fix from Ben Hutchings. 21) Fair-Queue qdisc holds locks during GFP_KERNEL allocations, fix from Eric Dumazet. 22) The vlan passthrough ops added in the previous release causes a regression in source MAC address setting of outgoing headers in some circumstances.

2014-03-07net: Improve SO_TIMESTAMPING documentation and fix a minor code bugAndrew Lutomirski1-20/+32
The original documentation was very unclear. The code fix is presumably related to the formerly unclear documentation: SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE has no effect on __sock_recv_timestamp's behavior, so calling __sock_recv_ts_and_drops from sock_recv_ts_and_drops if only SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE is set is pointless.

2014-03-06dm thin: ensure user takes action to validate data and metadata consistencyMike Snitzer2-6/+34
If a thin metadata operation fails the current transaction will abort, whereby causing potential for IO layers up the stack (e.g. filesystems) to have data loss. As such, set THIN_METADATA_NEEDS_CHECK_FLAG in the thin metadata's superblock which: 1) requires the user verify the thin metadata is consistent (e.g. use thin_check, etc) 2) suggests the user verify the thin data is consistent (e.g. use fsck) The only way to clear the superblock's THIN_METADATA_NEEDS_CHECK_FLAG is to run thin_repair. On metadata operation failure: abort current metadata transaction, set pool in read-only mode, and now set the needs_check flag. As part of this change, constraints are introduced or relaxed: * don't allow a pool to transition to write mode if needs_check is set * don't allow data or metadata space to be resized if needs_check is set * if a thin pool's metadata space is exhausted: the kernel will now force the user to take the pool offline for repair before the kernel will allow the metadata space to be extended. Also, update Documentation to include information about when the thin provisioning target commits metadata, how it handles metadata failures and running out of space.

2014-03-03can: remove CAN FD compatibility for CAN 2.0 socketsOliver Hartkopp1-6/+0
In commit e2d265d3b587 (canfd: add support for CAN FD in CAN_RAW sockets) CAN FD frames with a payload length up to 8 byte are passed to legacy sockets where the CAN FD support was not enabled by the application. After some discussions with developers at a fair this well meant feature leads to confusion as no clean switch for CAN / CAN FD is provided to the application programmer. Additionally a compatibility like this for legacy CAN_RAW sockets requires some compatibility handling for the sending, e.g. make CAN2.0 frames a CAN FD frame with BRS at transmission time (?!?). This will become a mess when people start to develop applications with real CAN FD hardware. This patch reverts the bad compatibility code together with the documentation describing the removed feature.

2014-02-26x86, kaslr: randomize module base load addressKees Cook1-2/+2
Randomize the load address of modules in the kernel to make kASLR effective for modules. Modules can only be loaded within a particular range of virtual address space. This patch adds 10 bits of entropy to the load address by adding 1-1024 * PAGE_SIZE to the beginning range where modules are loaded. The single base offset was chosen because randomizing each module load ends up wasting/fragmenting memory too much. Prior approaches to minimizing fragmentation while doing randomization tend to result in worse entropy than just doing a single base address offset. Example kASLR boot without this change, with a single module loaded: ---[ Modules ]--- 0xffffffffc0000000-0xffffffffc0001000 4K ro GLB x pte 0xffffffffc0001000-0xffffffffc0002000 4K ro GLB NX pte 0xffffffffc0002000-0xffffffffc0004000 8K RW GLB NX pte 0xffffffffc0004000-0xffffffffc0200000 2032K pte 0xffffffffc0200000-0xffffffffff000000 1006M pmd ---[ End Modules ]--- Example kASLR boot after this change, same module loaded: ---[ Modules ]--- 0xffffffffc0000000-0xffffffffc0200000 2M pmd 0xffffffffc0200000-0xffffffffc03bf000 1788K pte 0xffffffffc03bf000-0xffffffffc03c0000 4K ro GLB x pte 0xffffffffc03c0000-0xffffffffc03c1000 4K ro GLB NX pte 0xffffffffc03c1000-0xffffffffc03c3000 8K RW GLB NX pte 0xffffffffc03c3000-0xffffffffc0400000 244K pte 0xffffffffc0400000-0xffffffffff000000 1004M pmd ---[ End Modules ]--- Signed-off-by: Andy Honig <ahonig@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140226005916.GA27083@www.outflux.net Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: H.

2014-02-18Documentation/memory-barriers.txt: Need barriers() for some control dependenciesPaul E. McKenney1-7/+19
Current compilers can "speculate" stores in the case where both legs of the "if" statement start with identical stores. Because the stores are identical, the compiler knows that the store will unconditionally execute regardless of the "if" condition, and so the compiler is within its rights to hoist the store to precede the condition. Such hoisting destroys the control-dependency ordering. This ordering can be restored by placing a barrier() at the beginning of each leg of the "if" statement.
