sched, fair: Let minimally loaded cpu balance the group

Currently we let the leftmost (or first idle) cpu acend the
sched_domain tree and perform load-balancing. The result is that the
busiest cpu in the group might be performing this function and pull
more load to itself. The next load balance pass will then try to
equalize this again.

Change this to pick the least loaded cpu to perform higher domain
balancing.

sched_rt: fix SCHED_RR across cgroups

task_tick_rt has an optimization to only reschedule SCHED_RR tasks
if they were the only element on their rq.  However, with cgroups
a SCHED_RR task could be the only element on its per-cgroup rq but
still be competing with other SCHED_RR tasks in its parent's
cgroup.  In this case, the SCHED_RR task in the child cgroup would
never yield at the end of its timeslice.  If the child cgroup
rt_runtime_us was the same as the parent cgroup rt_runtime_us,
the task in the parent cgroup would starve completely.

Modify task_tick_rt to check that the task is the only task on its
rq, and that the each of the scheduling entities of its ancestors
is also the only entity on its rq.

Ported from the Android 3.4 kernel.

xen/pte: Fix crashes when trying to see non-existent PGD/PMD/PUD/PTEs

commit b7e5ffe5d83fa40d702976d77452004abbe35791 upstream.

If I try to do "cat /sys/kernel/debug/kernel_page_tables"
I end up with:

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffc7fffffff000
IP: [<ffffffff8106aa51>] ptdump_show+0x221/0x480

RDX: 0000800000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffffc7fffffff000

which is due to the fact we are trying to access a PFN that is not
accessible to us. The reason (at least in this case) was that
PGD[256] is set to __HYPERVISOR_VIRT_START which was setup (by the
hypervisor) to point to a read-only linear map of the MFN->PFN array.
During our parsing we would get the MFN (a valid one), try to look
it up in the MFN->PFN tree and find it invalid and return ~0 as PFN.
Then pte_mfn_to_pfn would happilly feed that in, attach the flags
and return it back to the caller. 'ptdump_show' bitshifts it and
gets and invalid value that it tries to dereference.

Instead of doing all of that, we detect the ~0 case and just
return !_PAGE_PRESENT.

This bug has been in existence .. at least until 2.6.37 (yikes!)

xen/pci: don't use PCI BIOS service for configuration space accesses

commit 76a8df7b49168509df02461f83fab117a4a86e08 upstream.

The accessing PCI configuration space with the PCI BIOS32 service does
not work in PV guests.

On systems without MMCONFIG or where the BIOS hasn't marked the
MMCONFIG region as reserved in the e820 map, the BIOS service is
probed (even though direct access is preferred) and this hangs.

percpu, x86: don't use PMD_SIZE as embedded atom_size on 32bit

commit d5e28005a1d2e67833852f4c9ea8ec206ea3ff85 upstream.

With the embed percpu first chunk allocator, x86 uses either PAGE_SIZE
or PMD_SIZE for atom_size.  PMD_SIZE is used when CPU supports PSE so
that percpu areas are aligned to PMD mappings and possibly allow using
PMD mappings in vmalloc areas in the future.  Using larger atom_size
doesn't waste actual memory; however, it does require larger vmalloc
space allocation later on for !first chunks.

With reasonably sized vmalloc area, PMD_SIZE shouldn't be a problem
but x86_32 at this point is anything but reasonable in terms of
address space and using larger atom_size reportedly leads to frequent
percpu allocation failures on certain setups.

As there is no reason to not use PMD_SIZE on x86_64 as vmalloc space
is aplenty and most x86_64 configurations support PSE, fix the issue
by always using PMD_SIZE on x86_64 and PAGE_SIZE on x86_32.

v2: drop cpu_has_pse test and make x86_64 always use PMD_SIZE and
    x86_32 PAGE_SIZE as suggested by hpa.

Fix __read_seqcount_begin() to use ACCESS_ONCE for sequence value read

commit 2f624278626677bfaf73fef97f86b37981621f5c upstream.

We really need to use a ACCESS_ONCE() on the sequence value read in
__read_seqcount_begin(), because otherwise the compiler might end up
reloading the value in between the test and the return of it.  As a
result, it might end up returning an odd value (which means that a write
is in progress).

If the reader is then fast enough that that odd value is still the
current one when the read_seqcount_retry() is done, we might end up with
a "successful" read sequence, even despite the concurrent write being
active.

In practice this probably never really happens - there just isn't
anything else going on around the read of the sequence count, and the
common case is that we end up having a read barrier immediately
afterwards.

So the code sequence in which gcc might decide to reaload from memory is
small, and there's no reason to believe it would ever actually do the
reload.  But if the compiler ever were to decide to do so, it would be
incredibly annoying to debug.  Let's just make sure.

ARM: 7410/1: Add extra clobber registers for assembly in kernel_execve

commit e787ec1376e862fcea1bfd523feb7c5fb43ecdb9 upstream.

The inline assembly in kernel_execve() uses r8 and r9.  Since this
code sequence does not return, it usually doesn't matter if the
register clobber list is accurate.  However, I saw a case where a
particular version of gcc used r8 as an intermediate for the value
eventually passed to r9.  Because r8 is used in the inline
assembly, and not mentioned in the clobber list, r9 was set
to an incorrect value.

This resulted in a kernel panic on execution of the first user-space
program in the system.  r9 is used in ret_to_user as the thread_info
pointer, and if it's wrong, bad things happen.

ARM: 7414/1: SMP: prevent use of the console when using idmap_pgd

commit fde165b2a29673aabf18ceff14dea1f1cfb0daad upstream.

Commit 4e8ee7de227e3ab9a72040b448ad728c5428a042 (ARM: SMP: use
idmap_pgd for mapping MMU enable during secondary booting)
switched secondary boot to use idmap_pgd, which is initialized
during early_initcall, instead of a page table initialized during
__cpu_up.  This causes idmap_pgd to contain the static mappings
but be missing all dynamic mappings.

If a console is registered that creates a dynamic mapping, the
printk in secondary_start_kernel will trigger a data abort on
the missing mapping before the exception handlers have been
initialized, leading to a hang.  Initial boot is not affected
because no consoles have been registered, and resume is usually
not affected because the offending console is suspended.
Onlining a cpu with hotplug triggers the problem.

A workaround is to the printk in secondary_start_kernel until
after the page tables have been switched back to init_mm.

The asix.c USB Ethernet driver avoids ending a tx transfer with a zero-
length packet by appending a four-byte padding to transfers whose length
is a multiple of maxpacket. However, the hard-coded 512 byte maxpacket
length is valid for high-speed USB only; full-speed USB uses 64 byte
packets.

sky2: fix receive length error in mixed non-VLAN/VLAN traffic

[ Upstream commit e072b3fad5f3915102c94628b4971f52ff99dd05 ]

Bug: The VLAN bit of the MAC RX Status Word is unreliable in several older
supported chips. Sometimes the VLAN bit is not set for valid VLAN packets
and also sometimes the VLAN bit is set for non-VLAN packets that came after
a VLAN packet. This results in a receive length error when VLAN hardware
tagging is enabled.

Fix: Variation on original fix proposed by Mirko.
The VLAN information is decoded in the status loop, and can be
applied to the received SKB there. This eliminates the need for the
separate tag field in the interface data structure. The tag has to
be copied and cleared if packet is copied. This version checked out
with vlan and normal traffic.

Note: vlan_tx_tag_present should be renamed vlan_tag_present, but that
is outside scope of this.
