      Re-enable CONFIG_MODVERSIONS in a slightly weaker form · faaae2a5
      Linus Torvalds authored
      
      
      This enables CONFIG_MODVERSIONS again, but allows for missing symbol CRC
      information in order to work around the issue that newer binutils
      versions seem to occasionally drop the CRC on the floor.  binutils 2.26
      seems to work fine, while binutils 2.27 seems to break MODVERSIONS of
      symbols that have been defined in assembler files.
      
      [ We've had random missing CRC's before - it may be an old problem that
        just is now reliably triggered with the weak asm symbols and a new
        version of binutils ]
      
      Some day I really do want to remove MODVERSIONS entirely.  Sadly, today
      does not appear to be that day: Debian people apparently do want the
      option to enable MODVERSIONS to make it easier to have external modules
      across kernel versions, and this seems to be a fairly minimal fix for
      the annoying problem.

        The libfc one is a regression in timespec conversions which causes a
        user visible issue in a command line tool and the mpt3sas one fixes a
        regression where the controller could remain permanently blocked after

      commit 1c3c9093 broke PAE40. Macro pfn_pte(pfn, prot) creates paddr
      from pfn, but the page shift was getting truncated to 32 bits since we lost
      the proper cast to 64 bits (for PAE400
      
      Instead of reverting that commit, use a better helper which is 32/64 bits
      safe just like ARM implementation.

      mremap: move_ptes: check pte dirty after its removal · a2ce2666
      Aaron Lu authored
      
      
      Linus found there still is a race in mremap after commit 5d190420
      ("mremap: fix race between mremap() and page cleanning").
      
      As described by Linus:
       "the issue is that another thread might make the pte be dirty (in the
        hardware walker, so no locking of ours will make any difference)
        *after* we checked whether it was dirty, but *before* we removed it
        from the page tables"
      
      Fix it by moving the check after we removed it from the page table.
