MIPS: Avoid mcheck by flushing page range in huge_ptep_set_access_flags()

Problem:

1) Huge page mapping of anonymous memory is initially invalid.  Will be
   faulted in by copy-on-write mechanism.

2) Userspace attempts store at the end of the huge mapping.

3) TLB Refill exception handler fill TLB with a normal (4K sized)
   invalid page at the end of the huge mapping virtual address range.

4) Userspace restarted, and re-attempts the store at the end of the
   huge mapping.

5) Page from #3 is invalid, we get a fault and go to the hugepage
   fault handler.  This tries to map a huge page and calls
   huge_ptep_set_access_flags() to install the mapping.

6) We just call the generic ptep_set_access_flags() to set up the page
   tables, but the flush there assumes a normal (4K sized) page and
   only tries to flush the first part of the huge page virtual address
   out of the TLB, since the existing entry from step #3 doesn't
   conflict, nothing is flushed.

7) We attempt to load the mapping into the TLB, but because it
   conflicts with the entry from step #3, we get a Machine Check
   exception.

The fix: Flush the entire rage covered by the huge page in
huge_ptep_set_access_flags(), and remove the optimization in
local_flush_tlb_range() so that the flush actually does the correct
thing.

MIPS: N32: Fix preadv(2) and pwritev(2) entry points.

By using the native syscall entry point the kernel was also expecting
64-bit iovec structures.

This is broken since ddd9e91b71072b8ebe89311c3a44b077defa1756 [preadv/
pwritev: MIPS: Add preadv(2) and pwritev(2) syscalls.] which originally
added these two syscalls.  I walked through piles of code, including
libc and couldn't find anything that would have worked around the issue
so this change the API to what it should always have been.

Noticed and patch suggested by Al Viro.

watchdog: Fix CPU hotplug regression

Norbert reported:
"3.7-rc6 booted with nmi_watchdog=0 fails to suspend to RAM or
 offline CPUs. It's reproducable with a KVM guest and physical
 system."

The reason is that commit bcd951cf(watchdog: Use hotplug thread
infrastructure) missed to take this into account. So the cpu offline
code gets stuck in the teardown function because it accesses non
initialized data structures.

Add a check for watchdog_enabled into that path to cure the issue.

MODSIGN: Don't use enum-type bitfields in module signature info block

Don't use enum-type bitfields in the module signature info block as we can't be
certain how the compiler will handle them.  As I understand it, it is arch
dependent, and it is possible for the compiler to rearrange them based on
endianness and to insert a byte of padding to pad the three enums out to four
bytes.

Instead use u8 fields for these, which the compiler should emit in the right
order without padding.

MIPS: Fix endless loop when processing signals for kernel tasks

The problem occurs [1] when a kernel-mode task returns from a system
call with a pending signal.

A real-life scenario is a child of 'khelper' returning from a failed
kernel_execve() in ____call_usermodehelper() [ kernel/kmod.c ].
kernel_execve() fails due to a pending SIGKILL, which is the result of
"kill -9 -1" (at least, busybox's init does it upon reboot).

The loop is as follows:

* syscall_exit_work:
 - work_pending:            // start_of_the_loop
 - work_notifysig:
   - do_notify_resume()
     - do_signal()
       - if (!user_mode(regs)) return;
 - resume_userspace         // TIF_SIGPENDING is still set
 - work_pending             // so we call work_pending => goto
                            // start_of_the_loop

More information can be found in another LKML thread:
http://www.serverphorums.com/read.php?12,457826

following fix was accepted.

  I can't reproduce it either.  It's completely weird; nothing ever
  removes lib/oid_registry.c, so either gcc is giving the wrong message
  or it's a weird fs with a very odd race.

  But your version is definitely more correct than the previous one,

mm: compaction: validate pfn range passed to isolate_freepages_block

Commit 0bf380bc70ec ("mm: compaction: check pfn_valid when entering a
new MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block during isolation for migration") added a
check for pfn_valid() when isolating pages for migration as the scanner
does not necessarily start pageblock-aligned.

Since commit c89511ab2f8f ("mm: compaction: Restart compaction from near
where it left off"), the free scanner has the same problem.  This patch
makes sure that the pfn range passed to isolate_freepages_block() is
within the same block so that pfn_valid() checks are unnecessary.

In answer to Henrik's wondering why others have not reported this:
reproducing this requires a large enough hole with the right aligment to
have compaction walk into a PFN range with no memmap.  Size and
alignment depends in the memory model - 4M for FLATMEM and 128M for
SPARSEMEM on x86.  It needs a "lucky" machine.

mm: vmscan: do not keep kswapd looping forever due to individual uncompactable zones

When a zone meets its high watermark and is compactable in case of
higher order allocations, it contributes to the percentage of the node's
memory that is considered balanced.

This requirement, that a node be only partially balanced, came about
when kswapd was desparately trying to balance tiny zones when all bigger
zones in the node had plenty of free memory.  Arguably, the same should
apply to compaction: if a significant part of the node is balanced
enough to run compaction, do not get hung up on that tiny zone that
might never get in shape.

When the compaction logic in kswapd is reached, we know that at least
25% of the node's memory is balanced properly for compaction (see
zone_balanced and pgdat_balanced).  Remove the individual zone checks
that restart the kswapd cycle.

Otherwise, we may observe more endless looping in kswapd where the
compaction code loops back to reclaim because of a single zone and
reclaim does nothing because the node is considered balanced overall.

tmpfs: fix shared mempolicy leak

This fixes a regression in 3.7-rc, which has since gone into stable.

Commit 00442ad04a5e ("mempolicy: fix a memory corruption by refcount
imbalance in alloc_pages_vma()") changed get_vma_policy() to raise the
refcount on a shmem shared mempolicy; whereas shmem_alloc_page() went
on expecting alloc_page_vma() to drop the refcount it had acquired.
This deserves a rework: but for now fix the leak in shmem_alloc_page().

Hugh: shmem_swapin() did not need a fix, but surely it's clearer to use
the same refcounting there as in shmem_alloc_page(), delete its onstack
mempolicy, and the strange mpol_cond_copy() and __mpol_cond_copy() -
those were invented to let swapin_readahead() make an unknown number of
calls to alloc_pages_vma() with one mempolicy; but since 00442ad04a5e,
alloc_pages_vma() has kept refcount in balance, so now no problem.
