Pull uaccess fixes from Al Viro:
 "Fixes for broken uaccess primitives - mostly lack of proper zeroing
  in copy_from_user()/get_user()/__get_user(), but for several
  architectures there's more (broken clear_user() on frv and
  strncpy_from_user() on hexagon)"

... in all cases, including the failing access_ok()

Note that some architectures using asm-generic/uaccess.h have
__copy_from_user() not zeroing the tail on failure halfway
through.  This variant works either way.

<title>mm/usercopy: get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0d025d271e55f3de21f0aaaf54b42d20404d2b23</id>
<content type='text'>
There are three usercopy warnings which are currently being silenced for
gcc 4.6 and newer:

1) "copy_from_user() buffer size is too small" compile warning/error

   This is a static warning which happens when object size and copy size
   are both const, and copy size &gt; object size.  I didn't see any false
   positives for this one.  So the function warning attribute seems to
   be working fine here.

   Note this scenario is always a bug and so I think it should be
   changed to *always* be an error, regardless of
   CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS.

2) "copy_from_user() buffer size is not provably correct" compile warning

   This is another static warning which happens when I enable
   __compiletime_object_size() for new compilers (and
   CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS).  It happens when object size
   is const, but copy size is *not*.  In this case there's no way to
   compare the two at build time, so it gives the warning.  (Note the
   warning is a byproduct of the fact that gcc has no way of knowing
   whether the overflow function will be called, so the call isn't dead
   code and the warning attribute is activated.)

   So this warning seems to only indicate "this is an unusual pattern,
   maybe you should check it out" rather than "this is a bug".

   I get 102(!) of these warnings with allyesconfig and the
   __compiletime_object_size() gcc check removed.  I don't know if there
   are any real bugs hiding in there, but from looking at a small
   sample, I didn't see any.  According to Kees, it does sometimes find
   real bugs.  But the false positive rate seems high.

3) "Buffer overflow detected" runtime warning

   This is a runtime warning where object size is const, and copy size &gt;
   object size.

All three warnings (both static and runtime) were completely disabled
for gcc 4.6 with the following commit:

  2fb0815c9ee6 ("gcc4: disable __compiletime_object_size for GCC 4.6+")

That commit mistakenly assumed that the false positives were caused by a
gcc bug in __compiletime_object_size().  But in fact,
__compiletime_object_size() seems to be working fine.  The false
positives were instead triggered by #2 above.  (Though I don't have an
explanation for why the warnings supposedly only started showing up in
gcc 4.6.)

So remove warning #2 to get rid of all the false positives, and re-enable
warnings #1 and #3 by reverting the above commit.

Furthermore, since #1 is a real bug which is detected at compile time,
upgrade it to always be an error.

Having done all that, CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS is no longer
needed.

<title>locking/qrwlock: Fix write unlock bug on big endian systems</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2db34e8bf9a22f4e38b29deccee57457bc0e7d74</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch aims to get rid of endianness in queued_write_unlock(). We
want to set  __qrwlock-&gt;wmode to NULL, however the address is not
&amp;lock-&gt;cnts in big endian machine. That causes queued_write_unlock()
write NULL to the wrong field of __qrwlock.

So implement __qrwlock_write_byte() which returns the correct
__qrwlock-&gt;wmode address.

<title>mm: change the interface for __tlb_remove_page()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e9d55e157034a9efd99405c99c1565d64619d82b</id>
<content type='text'>
This updates the generic and arch specific implementation to return true
if we need to do a tlb flush.  That means if a __tlb_remove_page
indicate a flush is needed, the page we try to remove need to be tracked
and added again after the flush.  We need to track it because we have
already update the pte to none and we can't just loop back.

This change is done to enable us to do a tlb_flush when we try to flush
a range that consists of different page sizes.  For architectures like
ppc64, we can do a range based tlb flush and we need to track page size
for that.  When we try to remove a huge page, we will force a tlb flush
and starts a new mmu gather.
