ACPI / Video: Probe for output switch method when searching video devices.
This patch reverts one hunk of 677bd810eedce61edf15452491781ff046b92edc
"ACPI video: remove output switching control", namely the removal of
probing for _DOS/_DOD when searching for video devices.
This is needed on some Fujitsu Laptops (at least S7110, P8010) for the
ACPI backlight interface to work, as an these machines, neither ROM nor
posting methods are available, and after removal of output switching,
none of the caps triggers, which prevents the backlight search from
being entered.
Tested on a Fujitsu Lifebook S7110 and Fujitsu Lifebook P8010.
This probably fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27312

ACPI / Wakeup: Enable button GPEs unconditionally during initialization
Commit 9630bdd (ACPI: Use GPE reference counting to support shared
GPEs) introduced a suspend regression where boxes resume immediately
after being suspended due to the lid or sleep button wakeup status
not being cleared properly. This happens if the GPEs corresponding
to those devices are not enabled all the time, which apparently is
expected by some BIOSes.
To fix this problem, enable button and lid GPEs unconditionally
during initialization and keep them enabled all the time, regardless
of whether or not the ACPI button driver is used.
ACPI / ACPICA: Avoid crashing if _PRW is defined for the root object
Some ACPI BIOSes define _PRW for the root object which causes
acpi_setup_gpe_for_wake() to crash when trying to dereference the
bogus device_node pointer. Avoid the crash by checking if
wake_device is not the root object before attempting to set up the
"implicit notify" mechanism for it.
The problem was introduced by commit bba63a296ffab20e08d9e8252d2f0d99
(ACPICA: Implicit notify support) that added the wake_device argument
to acpi_setup_gpe_for_wake().

vmscan: fix zone shrinking exit when scan work is done
Commit 3e7d34497067 ("mm: vmscan: reclaim order-0 and use compaction
instead of lumpy reclaim") introduced an indefinite loop in
shrink_zone().
It meant to break out of this loop when no pages had been reclaimed and
not a single page was even scanned. The way it would detect the latter
is by taking a snapshot of sc->nr_scanned at the beginning of the
function and comparing it against the new sc->nr_scanned after the scan
loop. But it would re-iterate without updating that snapshot, looping
forever if sc->nr_scanned changed at least once since shrink_zone() was
invoked.
This is not the sole condition that would exit that loop, but it
requires other processes to change the zone state, as the reclaimer that
is stuck obviously can not anymore.
This is only happening for higher-order allocations, where reclaim is
run back to back with compaction.
If the page is going to be written to, __do_page needs to break COW.
However, the old page (before breaking COW) was never mapped mapped into
the current pte (__do_fault is only called when the pte is not present),
so vmscan can't have marked the old page as PageMlocked due to being
mapped in __do_fault's VMA. Therefore, __do_fault() does not need to
worry about clearing PageMlocked() on the old page.
mlock: fix race when munlocking pages in do_wp_page()
vmscan can lazily find pages that are mapped within VM_LOCKED vmas, and
set the PageMlocked bit on these pages, transfering them onto the
unevictable list. When do_wp_page() breaks COW within a VM_LOCKED vma,
it may need to clear PageMlocked on the old page and set it on the new
page instead.
This change fixes an issue where do_wp_page() was clearing PageMlocked
on the old page while the pte was still pointing to it (as well as
rmap). Therefore, we were not protected against vmscan immediately
transfering the old page back onto the unevictable list. This could
cause pages to get stranded there forever.
I propose to move the corresponding code to the end of do_wp_page(),
after the pte (and rmap) have been pointed to the new page.
Additionally, we can use munlock_vma_page() instead of
clear_page_mlock(), so that the old page stays mlocked if there are
still other VM_LOCKED vmas mapping it.

nbd: remove module-level ioctl mutex
Commit 2a48fc0ab242417 ("block: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private
mutex") replaced uses of the BKL in the nbd driver with mutex
operations. Since then, I've been been seeing these lock ups:
Instrumenting the nbd module's ioctl handler with some extra logging
clearly shows the NBD_DO_IT ioctl being invoked which is a long-lived
ioctl in the sense that it doesn't return until another ioctl asks the
driver to disconnect. However, that other ioctl blocks, waiting for the
module-level mutex that replaced the BKL, and then we're stuck.
This patch removes the module-level mutex altogether. It's clearly
wrong, and as far as I can see, it's entirely unnecessary, since the nbd
driver maintains per-device mutexes, and I don't see anything that would
require a module-level (or kernel-level, for that matter) mutex.

ptrace: use safer wake up on ptrace_detach()
The wake_up_process() call in ptrace_detach() is spurious and not
interlocked with the tracee state. IOW, the tracee could be running or
sleeping in any place in the kernel by the time wake_up_process() is
called. This can lead to the tracee waking up unexpectedly which can be
dangerous.
The wake_up is spurious and should be removed but for now reduce its
toxicity by only waking up if the tracee is in TRACED or STOPPED state.
This bug can possibly be used as an attack vector. I don't think it
will take too much effort to come up with an attack which triggers oops
somewhere. Most sleeps are wrapped in condition test loops and should
be safe but we have quite a number of places where sleep and wakeup
conditions are expected to be interlocked. Although the window of
opportunity is tiny, ptrace can be used by non-privileged users and with
some loading the window can definitely be extended and exploited.

However, that means that we must not release the open-intent file data

Fix this by moving the release of the open-intent data to the function

do_last()). This makes the logic for the lifetime of that field much
more obvious, and avoids the possible double free.

amd64_edac: Fix DIMMs per DCTs output

x86: Fix section mismatch in LAPIC initialization
Additionally doing things conditionally upon smp_processor_id()
being zero is generally a bad idea, as this means CPU 0 cannot
be offlined and brought back online later again.
While there may be other places where this is done, I think adding
more of those should be avoided so that some day SMP can really
become "symmetrical".

ARM: Avoid building unsafe kernels on OMAP2 and MX3
OMAP2 (armv6) and MX3 turn off support for the V6K instructions, which
when they include support for SMP kernels means that the resulting

end up using unsafe bitops.
Re-enable the use of V6K instructions on such kernels, and let such
kernels running on V6 CPUs eat undefined instruction faults which will
be much safer than filesystem corruption. Next merge window we can fix
this properly (as it requires a much bigger set of changes.)

KVM: SVM: Make sure KERNEL_GS_BASE is valid when loading gs_index
The gs_index loading code uses the swapgs instruction to
switch to the user gs_base temporarily. This is unsave in an
lightweight exit-path in KVM on AMD because the
KERNEL_GS_BASE MSR is switches lazily. An NMI happening in
the critical path of load_gs_index may use the wrong GS_BASE
value then leading to unpredictable behavior, e.g. a
triple-fault.
This patch fixes the issue by making sure that load_gs_index
is called only with a valid KERNEL_GS_BASE value loaded in
KVM.
All users that check for the CDC_MEDIA_CHANGED capbility try both
the check_events op and the media_changed op, but register_cdrom()

The cdrom_select_disc ioctl is also using the two operations, so
they should be required for CDC_SELECT_DISC too.

cfq-iosched: Don't wait if queue already has requests.
Commit 7667aa0630407bc07dc38dcc79d29cc0a65553c1 added logic to wait for
the last queue of the group to become busy (have at least one request),
so that the group does not lose out for not being continuously
backlogged. The commit did not check for the condition that the last
queue already has some requests. As a result, if the queue already has
requests, wait_busy is set. Later on, cfq_select_queue() checks the
flag, and decides that since the queue has a request now and wait_busy
is set, the queue is expired. This results in early expiration of the
queue.
This patch fixes the problem by adding a check to see if queue already
has requests. If it does, wait_busy is not set. As a result, time slices
do not expire early.
The queues with more than one request are usually buffered writers.
Testing shows improvement in isolation between buffered writers.
However, this is a problem for the iptables' CT target event filtering
which will not work in this case since the conntrack template will not
be there for the new session. To fix this, we reassign the conntrack
template to the packet if we return NF_REPEAT.

Without the second check we can send an Echo request during reconnection
before the server can accept it.
