      parisc: fix a bug when syscall number of tracee is __NR_Linux_syscalls · f0b22d1b
      Dmitry V. Levin authored
      
      
      Do not load one entry beyond the end of the syscall table when the
      syscall number of a traced process equals to __NR_Linux_syscalls.
      Similar bug with regular processes was fixed by commit 3bb457af
      ("[PARISC] Fix bug when syscall nr is __NR_Linux_syscalls").
      
      This bug was found by strace test suite.

      x86/tsc: Read all ratio bits from MSR_PLATFORM_INFO · 886123fb
      Chen Yu authored
      
      
      Currently we read the tsc radio: ratio = (MSR_PLATFORM_INFO >> 8) & 0x1f;
      
      Thus we get bit 8-12 of MSR_PLATFORM_INFO, however according to the SDM
      (35.5), the ratio bits are bit 8-15.
      
      Ignoring the upper bits can result in an incorrect tsc ratio, which causes the
      TSC calibration and the Local APIC timer frequency to be incorrect.
      
      Fix this problem by masking 0xff instead.

      Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
      
       - a fix for the persistent memory 'struct page' driver.  The
         implementation overlooked the fact that pages are allocated in 2MB
         units leading to -ENOMEM when establishing some configurations.
      
         It's tagged for -stable as the problem was introduced with the
         initial implementation in 4.5.
      
       - The new "error status translation" routine, introduced with the 4.6
         updates to the nfit driver, missed a necessary path in
         acpi_nfit_ctl().
      
         The end result is that we are falsely assuming commands complete
         successfully when the embedded status says otherwise.

      byteswap: try to avoid __builtin_constant_p gcc bug · 7322dd75
      Arnd Bergmann authored
      This is another attempt to avoid a regression in wwn_to_u64() after that
      started using get_unaligned_be64(), which in turn ran into a bug on
      gcc-4.9 through 6.1.
      
      The regression got introduced due to the combination of two separate
      workarounds (commits e3bde956: "include/linux/unaligned: force
      inlining of byteswap operations" and ef3fb242: "scsi: fc: use
      get/put_unaligned64 for wwn access") that each try to sidestep distinct
      problems with gcc behavior (code growth and increased stack usage).
      
      Unfortunately after both have been applied, a more serious gcc bug has
      been uncovered, leading to incorrect object code that discards part of a
      function and causes undefined behavior.
      
      As part of this problem is how __builtin_constant_p gets evaluated on an
      argument passed by reference into an inline function, this avoids the
      use of __builtin_constant_p() for all architectures that set
      CONFIG_ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP.  Most architectures do not set
      ARCH_SUPPORTS_OPTIMIZED_INLINING, which means they probably do not
      suffer from the problem in the qla2xxx driver, but they might still run
      into it elsewhere.
      
      Both of the original workarounds were only merged in the 4.6 kernel, and
      the bug that is fixed by this patch should only appear if both are
      there, so we probably don't need to backport the fix.  On the other
      hand, it works by simplifying the code path and should not have any
      negative effects.

      lib/stackdepot: avoid to return 0 handle · 7c31190b
      Joonsoo Kim authored
      Recently, we allow to save the stacktrace whose hashed value is 0.  It
      causes the problem that stackdepot could return 0 even if in success.
      User of stackdepot cannot distinguish whether it is success or not so we
      need to solve this problem.  In this patch, 1 bit are added to handle
      and make valid handle none 0 by setting this bit.  After that, valid
      handle will not be 0 and 0 handle will represent failure correctly.
