Pull btrfs updates from Chris Mason:
"This pull is mostly cleanups and fixes:
- The raid5/6 cleanups from Zhao Lei fixup some long standing warts
in the code and add improvements on top of the scrubbing support
from 3.19.
- Josef has round one of our ENOSPC fixes coming from large btrfs
clusters here at FB.
- Dave Sterba continues a long series of cleanups (thanks Dave), and
Filipe continues hammering on corner cases in fsync and others
This all was held up a little trying to track down a use-after-free in
btrfs raid5/6. It's not clear yet if this is just made easier to
trigger with this pull or if its a new bug from the raid5/6 cleanups.
Dave Sterba is the only one to trigger it so far, but he has a
consistent way to reproduce, so we'll get it nailed shortly"

Pull ASLR and kASLR fixes from Borislav Petkov:
- Add a global flag announcing KASLR state so that relevant code can do
informed decisions based on its setting. (Jiri Kosina)
- Fix a stack randomization entropy decrease bug. (Hector Marco-Gisbert)

The issue is that the stack for processes is not properly randomized on
64 bit architectures due to an integer overflow.
The affected function is randomize_stack_top() in file
"fs/binfmt_elf.c":
static unsigned long randomize_stack_top(unsigned long stack_top)
{
unsigned int random_variable = 0;
if ((current->flags & PF_RANDOMIZE) &&
!(current->personality & ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE)) {
random_variable = get_random_int() & STACK_RND_MASK;
random_variable <<= PAGE_SHIFT;
}
return PAGE_ALIGN(stack_top) + random_variable;
return PAGE_ALIGN(stack_top) - random_variable;
}
Note that, it declares the "random_variable" variable as "unsigned int".
Since the result of the shifting operation between STACK_RND_MASK (which
is 0x3fffff on x86_64, 22 bits) and PAGE_SHIFT (which is 12 on x86_64):
random_variable <<= PAGE_SHIFT;
then the two leftmost bits are dropped when storing the result in the
"random_variable". This variable shall be at least 34 bits long to hold
the (22+12) result.
These two dropped bits have an impact on the entropy of process stack.
Concretely, the total stack entropy is reduced by four: from 2^28 to
2^30 (One fourth of expected entropy).
This patch restores back the entropy by correcting the types involved
in the operations in the functions randomize_stack_top() and
stack_maxrandom_size().
The successful fix can be tested with:
$ for i in `seq 1 10`; do cat /proc/self/maps | grep stack; done
7ffeda566000-7ffeda587000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack]
7fff5a332000-7fff5a353000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack]
7ffcdb7a1000-7ffcdb7c2000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack]
7ffd5e2c4000-7ffd5e2e5000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack]
...
Once corrected, the leading bytes should be between 7ffc and 7fff,
rather than always being 7fff.

When we receives traceless reply for request that created new inode,
we re-send a lookup request to MDS get information of the newly created
inode. (VFS expects FS' callback return an inode in create case)
This breaks one request into two requests. Other client may modify or
move to the new inode in the middle.
When the race happens, ceph_handle_notrace_create() unconditionally
links the dentry for 'create' operation to the inode returned by lookup.
This may confuse VFS when the inode is a directory (VFS does not allow
multiple linkages for directory inode).
This patch makes ceph_handle_notrace_create() when it detect a race.
This event should be rare and it happens only when we talk to old MDS.
Recent MDS does not send traceless reply for request that creates new
inode.

When snaprealm is created, its initial reference count is zero.
But in some rare cases, the newly created snaprealm is not referenced
by anyone. This causes snaprealm with zero reference count not freed.
The fix is set reference count of newly snaprealm to 1. The reference
is return the function who requests to create the snaprealm. When the
function finishes its job, it releases the reference.

A bug is found in striped_read() of fs/ceph/file.c. striped_read() calls
ceph_zero_pape_vector_range(). The first argument, page_align + read + ret,
passed to ceph_zero_pape_vector_range() is wrong.
When a file has holes, this wrong parameter may cause memory corruption
either in kernal space or user space. Kernel space memory may be corrupted in
the case of non direct IO; user space memory may be corrupted in the case of
direct IO. In the latter case, the application doing direct IO may crash due
to memory corruption, as we have experienced.
The correct value should be initial_align + read + ret, where intial_align =
o_direct ? buf_align : io_align. Compared with page_align, the current page
offest, initial_align is the initial page offest, which should be used to
calculate the page and offset in ceph_zero_pape_vector_range().

The spinlock in eventfd_poll is trying to protect the count of events so
it can decide if it should return POLLIN, POLLERR, or POLLOUT. But,
because of the way we drop the lock after calling poll_wait, and drop it
again before returning, we have the same pile of races with the lock as
we do with a single read of ctx->count().
This replaces the lock with a read barrier and single read.
eventfd_write does a single bump of ctx->count, so this should not add
new races with adding events. eventfd_read is similar, it will do a
single decrement with the lock held, and so we're making the race with
concurrent readers slightly larger.
This spinlock is the top CPU user in kernel code during one of our
workloads. Removing it gives us a ~2% boost.

When updating PT_NOTE header size (ie. p_memsz), an overflow issue
happens with the following bogus note entry:
n_namesz = 0xFFFFFFFF
n_descsz = 0x0
n_type = 0x0
This kind of note entry should be dropped during updating p_memsz. But
because n_namesz is 32bit, after (n_namesz + 3) & (~3), it's overflow to
0x0, the note entry size looks sane and reserved.
When userspace (eg. crash utility) is trying to access such bogus note,
it could lead to an unexpected behavior (eg. crash utility segment fault
because it's reading bogus address).
The source of bogus note hasn't been identified yet. At least we could
drop the bogus note so user space wouldn't be surprised.

Let locking subsystem decide on mutex management. As reported by Andrew
Morton this patch fixes a bug:
: lock_ufs() is assuming that on non-preempt uniprocessor, the calling
: code will run atomically up to the matching unlock_ufs().
:
: But that isn't true. The very first site I looked at (ufs_frag_map)
: does sb_bread() under lock_ufs(). And sb_bread() will call schedule(),
: very commonly.
:
: The ->mutex_owner stuff is a bit hacky but should work OK.

Pull parisc update from Helge Deller:
"The major change in here is the removal of the old HP-UX compat code
which should have made it possible to load and execute 32-bit HP-UX
binaries on PA-RISC Linux. Since it was never functional and since
nobody cares about old 32-bit HPUX binaries any longer, it's now time
to free up 3200 lines of kernel code (CONFIG_HPUX and
CONFIG_BINFMT_SOM).
Other than that we wire up the execveat() syscall, fix sparse errors
and have some whitespace cleanups"
