After enabling doubletap2wake and setting that option to boot, when I restarted the tablet to verify boot settings, screen would turn on with the power button, but was unresponsive to physical touches.

Is there a possibility that the doubletap2wake option was applied while the screen was offline?
Asked differently: was the screen off at the end of that bootup? (screen timeout)
Kernel log?

Oddly it isn't happening now, dirty flashed ROM to go back to stock, flashed bricked (latest master), booted, set options, rebooted, and all was good. Would undervolting possibly create this issue?

@showp1984

Could be, though unlikely. Then again, undervolting produces all sorts of unlikely issues.
I guess you either let the timeout disable the screen upon bootup or closed the magnetic lid though.
The current implementation of the touchscreen driver sleep prevention is not meant to be enabled with the screen off.
This issue would also be reproduce-able.

Just redid my UV settings, left the magnetic lid closed while rebooting, I'll try closing it as it boots, if I am able to recreate the issue, I'm assuming you want a last_kmsg?

@showp1984

Yeah that's the issue I was already aware of.
Preventing touchscreen sleep while screen is off triggers this behavior. Don't need a kmgs for that as I already have a fix for the hammerhead :)

Would leaving doubletap2wake off help prevent that from happening, or is it nothing related to that? Missed closing the lid at the end of boot, but happened again, while I had the lid flipped around to the back of the tablet. Also, I remember on the old N7, deadline was the default/preferred I/O scheduler, is it with this or should I leave it on cfq? Thanks!

If both, s2w and dt2w, are off then neither can be safely enabled when the screen is off. Is one of them active there will be no issue.
When writing it I just didn't think about that people are going to change this while the screen is off. My bad.

to schedulers: Try it. I found cfq to perform the best across the board.

To better understand you saying people changing this while the screen is off, what I will do is go into k-control, enable the option, then either exit the app via the back button or home button then let the screen time out or manually turn it off via the power button. How is the setting changed when then screen is off?

@showp1984

On boot, as you mentioned.
Android signals that the boot completed quite late, which causes kcontrol to apply settings late too. The screen may be off then.

This has happened twice now for me with DT2W enabled in as many days. It happens on boot using k-control, and requires a reboot to correct the issue. When I reboot, the live wallpaper I selected resets to the default wallpaper (not sure if this is relevant).

Just adding weight to the issue.

Apart from this issue, the kernel is awesome. Thanks for providing us with this kernel.

Unfortunately, I never committed the fix to a nasty oops which can
occur as a result of that commit:

This doesn't show up unless you do quite a bit of testing; a simple
boot test does not do this, so all my nightly tests were passing fine.

The reason for this is that install_special_mapping() expects the
page array to stick around, and as this was only inserting one page
which was stored on the kernel stack, that's why this was blowing up.

This is because event->attr.config in armpmu_event_init()

config before indexing the array and rejecting invalid config
values.

cpufreq: interactive: Fix null pointer dereference in interactive gov…
f5eb2b7 
…ernor

For the sync_freq feature currently we check pcpu->policy->cur frequency
for each online cpu.  But for a CPU that isn't using interactive governor
or for an offline CPU, pcpu->policy can be null or an invalid value.
This patch tries to avoid that scenario by using pcpu->target_freq
instead of policy->cur to get the frequency of an online CPU.

Investigating, I found that the inode->i_security was NULL, and the
dereference of it caused the oops.

in selinux_inode_permission():

	isec = inode->i_security;

	rc = avc_has_perm_noaudit(sid, isec->sid, isec->sclass, perms, 0, &avd);

Note, the crash came from stressing the deletion and reading of debugfs
files.  I was not able to recreate this via normal files.  But I'm not
sure they are safe.  It may just be that the race window is much harder
to hit.

What seems to have happened (and what I have traced), is the file is
being opened at the same time the file or directory is being deleted.
As the dentry and inode locks are not held during the path walk, nor is
the inodes ref counts being incremented, there is nothing saving these
structures from being discarded except for an rcu_read_lock().

The rcu_read_lock() protects against freeing of the inode, but it does
not protect freeing of the inode_security_struct.  Now if the freeing of
the i_security happens with a call_rcu(), and the i_security field of
the inode is not changed (it gets freed as the inode gets freed) then
there will be no issue here.  (Linus Torvalds suggested not setting the
field to NULL such that we do not need to check if it is NULL in the
permission check).

Note, this is a hack, but it fixes the problem at hand.  A real fix is
to restructure the destroy_inode() to call all the destructor handlers
from the RCU callback.  But that is a major job to do, and requires a
lot of work.  For now, we just band-aid this bug with this fix (it
works), and work on a more maintainable solution in the future.

SELinux: Fix kernel BUG on empty security contexts.
154225a 
Setting an empty security context (length=0) on a file will
lead to incorrectly dereferencing the type and other fields
of the security context structure, yielding a kernel BUG.
As a zero-length security context is never valid, just reject
all such security contexts whether coming from userspace
via setxattr or coming from the filesystem upon a getxattr
request by SELinux.

Setting a security context value (empty or otherwise) unknown to
SELinux in the first place is only possible for a root process
(CAP_MAC_ADMIN), and, if running SELinux in enforcing mode, only
if the corresponding SELinux mac_admin permission is also granted
to the domain by policy.  In Fedora policies, this is only allowed for
specific domains such as livecd for setting down security contexts
that are not defined in the build host policy.

[On Android, this can only be set by root/CAP_MAC_ADMIN processes,
and if running SELinux in enforcing mode, only if mac_admin permission
is granted in policy.  In Android 4.4, this would only be allowed for
root/CAP_MAC_ADMIN processes that are also in unconfined domains. In current
AOSP master, mac_admin is not allowed for any domains except the recovery
console which has a legitimate need for it.  The other potential vector
is mounting a maliciously crafted filesystem for which SELinux fetches
xattrs (e.g. an ext4 filesystem on a SDcard).  However, the end result is
only a local denial-of-service (DOS) due to kernel BUG.  This fix is
queued for 3.14.]

Reproducer:
su
setenforce 0
touch foo
setfattr -n security.selinux foo

Caveat:
Relabeling or removing foo after doing the above may not be possible
without booting with SELinux disabled.  Any subsequent access to foo
after doing the above will also trigger the BUG.

fs/seq_file: fallback to vmalloc allocation
65cd8ac 
There are a couple of seq_files which use the single_open() interface.
This interface requires that the whole output must fit into a single
buffer.

E.g.  for /proc/stat allocation failures have been observed because an
order-4 memory allocation failed due to memory fragmentation.  In such
situations reading /proc/stat is not possible anymore.

Therefore change the seq_file code to fallback to vmalloc allocations
which will usually result in a couple of order-0 allocations and hence
also work if memory is fragmented.

For reference a call trace where reading from /proc/stat failed:

  sadc: page allocation failure: order:4, mode:0x1040d0
