      kbuild: modules_install: warn when missing System.map file · f0b0d88a
      Randy Dunlap authored
      
      
      If there is no System.map file for "make modules_install",
      scripts/depmod.sh will silently exit with success, having done
      nothing.  Since this is an unexpected situation, change it to
      report a Warning for the missing file.  The behavior is not
      changed except for the Warning message.
      
      The (previous) silent success and new Warning can be reproduced
      by:
      $ make mrproper; make defconfig
      $ make modules; make modules_install
      
      and since System.map is produced by "make vmlinux", the steps
      above omit producing the System.map file.

      x86/mm: Use WRITE_ONCE() when setting PTEs · 9bc4f28a
      Nadav Amit authored
      
      
      When page-table entries are set, the compiler might optimize their
      assignment by using multiple instructions to set the PTE. This might
      turn into a security hazard if the user somehow manages to use the
      interim PTE. L1TF does not make our lives easier, making even an interim
      non-present PTE a security hazard.
      
      Using WRITE_ONCE() to set PTEs and friends should prevent this potential
      security hazard.
      
      I skimmed the differences in the binary with and without this patch. The
      differences are (obviously) greater when CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n as more
      code optimizations are possible. For better and worse, the impact on the
      binary with this patch is pretty small. Skimming the code did not cause
      anything to jump out as a security hazard, but it seems that at least
      move_soft_dirty_pte() caused set_pte_at() to use multiple writes.

      afs: Fix cell specification to permit an empty address list · ecfe951f
      David Howells authored
      
      
      Fix the cell specification mechanism to allow cells to be pre-created
      without having to specify at least one address (the addresses will be
      upcalled for).
      
      This allows the cell information preload service to avoid the need to issue
      loads of DNS lookups during boot to get the addresses for each cell (500+
      lookups for the 'standard' cell list[*]).  The lookups can be done later as
      each cell is accessed through the filesystem.
      
      Also remove the print statement that prints a line every time a new cell is
      added.
      
      [*] There are 144 cells in the list.  Each cell is first looked up for an
          SRV record, and if that fails, for an AFSDB record.  These get a list
          of server names, each of which then has to be looked up to get the
          addresses for that server.  E.g.:
