Use the newly added smp_call_func_t in smp_call_function_interrupt for
the func variable, and make the comment above the WARN more assertive
and explicit.  Also, func is a function pointer and does not need an
offset, so use %pf not %pS.

723aae25d5 smp_call_function_many: handle concurrent clearing of mask
Mike Galbraith reported finding a lockup ("perma-spin bug") where the
cpumask passed to smp_call_function_many was cleared by other cpu(s)
while a cpu was preparing its call_data block, resulting in no cpu to
clear the last ref and unlock the block.

Having cpus clear their bit asynchronously could be useful on a mask of
cpus that might have a translation context, or cpus that need a push to
complete an rcu window.

Instead of adding a BUG_ON and requiring yet another cpumask copy, just
detect the race and handle it.

Note: arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask must still handle an empty
cpumask because the data block is globally visible before the that arch
callback is made.  And (obviously) there are no guarantees to which cpus
are notified if the mask is changed during the call; only cpus that were
online and had their mask bit set during the whole call are guaranteed
to be called.

45a5791920 call_function_many: add missing ordering
Paul McKenney's review pointed out two problems with the barriers in the
2.6.38 update to the smp call function many code.

First, a barrier that would force the func and info members of data to
be visible before their consumption in the interrupt handler was
missing.  This can be solved by adding a smp_wmb between setting the
func and info members and setting setting the cpumask; this will pair
with the existing and required smp_rmb ordering the cpumask read before
the read of refs.  This placement avoids the need a second smp_rmb in
the interrupt handler which would be executed on each of the N cpus
executing the call request.  (I was thinking this barrier was present
but was not).

Second, the previous write to refs (establishing the zero that we the
interrupt handler was testing from all cpus) was performed by a third
party cpu.  This would invoke transitivity which, as a recient or
concurrent addition to memory-barriers.txt now explicitly states, would
require a full smp_mb().

However, we know the cpumask will only be set by one cpu (the data
owner) and any preivous iteration of the mask would have cleared by the
reading cpu.  By redundantly writing refs to 0 on the owning cpu before
the smp_wmb, the write to refs will follow the same path as the writes
that set the cpumask, which in turn allows us to keep the barrier in the
interrupt handler a smp_rmb instead of promoting it to a smp_mb (which
will be be executed by N cpus for each of the possible M elements on the
list).

I moved and expanded the comment about our (ab)use of the rcu list
primitives for the concurrent walk earlier into this function.  I
considered moving the first two paragraphs to the queue list head and
lock, but felt it would have been too disconected from the code.

e6cd1e07a1 call_function_many: fix list delete vs add race
Peter pointed out there was nothing preventing the list_del_rcu in
smp_call_function_interrupt from running before the list_add_rcu in
smp_call_function_many.

Fix this by not setting refs until we have gotten the lock for the list.
Take advantage of the wmb in list_add_rcu to save an explicit additional
one.

I tried to force this race with a udelay before the lock & list_add and
by mixing all 64 online cpus with just 3 random cpus in the mask, but
was unsuccessful.  Still, inspection shows a valid race, and the fix is
a extension of the existing protection window in the current code.

bea3864fb6 PM / Hibernate: Reduce autotuned default image size
The hibernate image size autotuning mechanism sets the default
image size to 5/2 of the total system RAM, but it is reported
that on some systems device drivers allocate substantial
amounts of memory during suspend and the creation of the image
fails as a result (too little memory is preallocated).

Modify the autotuning mechanism to use 1/3 instead of 2/5 of RAM
as the default image size, which is reported to be sufficient for
the affected systems.

40dc166cb5 PM / Core: Introduce struct syscore_ops for core subsystems PM
Some subsystems need to carry out suspend/resume and shutdown
operations with one CPU on-line and interrupts disabled.  The only
way to register such operations is to define a sysdev class and
a sysdev specifically for this purpose which is cumbersome and
inefficient.  Moreover, the arguments taken by sysdev suspend,
resume and shutdown callbacks are practically never necessary.

For this reason, introduce a simpler interface allowing subsystems
to register operations to be executed very late during system suspend
and shutdown and very early during resume in the form of
strcut syscore_ops objects.

f9b9e806ae PM QoS: Make pm_qos settings readable
I have a machine where entering deep C-states broke.
pm_qos was a hot candidate, but I couldn't find any way to double
check without the need of recompiling.

While in this case it was a driver bug (ath9k):
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27532

powertop or others may want to read out cpu_dma_latency
restrictions which could be the cause of preventing a machine
entering deeper C-states.

Output with this patch:

# default value of 2000 * USEC_PER_SEC (0x77359400)
cat /dev/network_latency |hexdump
0000000 9400 7735
0000004

# value of 55 us which is the reason for not entering C2
cat /dev/cpu_dma_latency |hexdump
0000000 0037 0000
0000004

There is no reason to hide this info -> make pm_qos files readable.

6831c6edc7 PM: Drop pm_flags that is not necessary
The variable pm_flags is used to prevent APM from being enabled
along with ACPI, which would lead to problems.  However, acpi_init()
is always called before apm_init() and after acpi_init() has
returned, it is known whether or not ACPI will be used.  Namely, if
acpi_disabled is not set after acpi_init() has returned, this means
that ACPI is enabled.  Thus, it is sufficient to check acpi_disabled
in apm_init() to prevent APM from being enabled in parallel with
ACPI.

1eb208aea3 PM: Make CONFIG_PM depend on (CONFIG_PM_SLEEP || CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME)
From the users' point of view CONFIG_PM is really only used for
making it possible to set CONFIG_SUSPEND, CONFIG_HIBERNATION,
CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME and (surprisingly enough) CONFIG_XEN_SAVE_RESTORE
(CONFIG_PM_OPP also depends on CONFIG_PM, but quite artificially).
However, both CONFIG_SUSPEND and CONFIG_HIBERNATION require platform
support (independent of CONFIG_PM) and it is not quite obvious that
CONFIG_PM has to be set for CONFIG_XEN_SAVE_RESTORE to be available.
Thus, from the users' point of view, it would be more logical to
automatically select CONFIG_PM if any of the above options depending
on it are set.

Make CONFIG_PM depend on (CONFIG_PM_SLEEP || CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME),
which will cause it to be selected when any of CONFIG_SUSPEND,
CONFIG_HIBERNATION, CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME, CONFIG_XEN_SAVE_RESTORE is
set and will clarify its meaning.

6e0aa9f8a8 futex: Deobfuscate handle_futex_death()
handle_futex_death() uses futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() without
disabling page faults. That's ok, but totally non obvious.

We don't hold locks so we actually can and want to fault here, because
the get_user() before futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() does not
guarantee a R/W mapping.

We could just add a big fat comment to explain this, but actually
changing the code so that the functionality is entirely clear is
better.

Use the helper function which disables page faults around the
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() and handle a fault with a call to
fault_in_user_writeable() as all other places in the futex code do as
well.

printk: do not mangle valid userspace syslog prefixes with /dev/kmsg

Log messages passed to the kernel log by using /dev/kmsg or /dev/ttyprintk
might contain a syslog prefix including the syslog facility value.

This makes printk to recognize these headers properly, extract the real log
level from it to use, and add the prefix as a proper prefix to the
log buffer, instead of wrongly printing it as the log message text.

Before:
  $ echo '<14>text' > /dev/kmsg
  $ dmesg -r

After:

d209a699a0 genirq: Add chip flag to force mask on suspend
On suspend we disable all interrupts in the core code, but this does
not mask the interrupt line in the default implementation as we use a
lazy disable approach. That means we mark the interrupt disabled, but
leave the hardware unmasked. That's an optimization because we avoid
the hardware access for the common case where no interrupt happens
after we marked it disabled. If an interrupt happens, then the
interrupt flow handler masks the line at the hardware level and marks
it pending.

Suspend makes use of this delayed disable as it "disables" all
interrupts when preparing the suspend transition. Right before the
system goes into hardware suspend state it checks whether one of the
interrupts which is marked as a wakeup interrupt came in after
disabling it.

Most interrupt chips have a separate register which selects the
interrupts which can wake up the system from suspend, so we don't have
to mask any on the non wakeup interrupts.

But now we have to deal with brilliant designed hardware which lacks
such a wakeup configuration facility. For such hardware it's necessary
to mask all non wakeup interrupts before going into suspend in order
to avoid the wakeup from random interrupts.

Rather than working around this in the affected interrupt chip
implementations we can solve this elegant in the core code itself.

Add a flag IRQCHIP_MASK_ON_SUSPEND which can be set by the irq chip
implementation to indicate, that the interrupts which are not selected
as wakeup sources must be masked in the suspend path. Mask them in the
loop which checks the wakeup interrupts pending flag.

017f2b239d futex,plist: Remove debug lock assignment from plist_node
The original code uses &plist_node->plist as the fake head of
the priority list for plist_del(), these debug locks in
the fake head are needed for CONFIG_DEBUG_PI_LIST.

But now we always pass the real head to plist_del(), the debug locks
in plist_node will not be used, so we remove these assignments.

2e12978a9f futex,plist: Pass the real head of the priority list to plist_del()
Some plist_del()s in kernel/futex.c are passed a faked head of the
priority list.

It does not fail because the current code does not require the real head
in plist_del(). The current code of plist_del() just uses the head for checking,
so it will not cause a bad result even when we use a faked head.

But it is undocumented usage:

/**
 * plist_del - Remove a @node from plist.
 *
 * @node:	&struct plist_node pointer - entry to be removed
 * @head:	&struct plist_head pointer - list head
 */

The document says that the @head is the "list head" head of the priority list.

In futex code, several places use "plist_del(&q->list, &q->list.plist);",
they pass a fake head. We need to fix them all.

Thanks to Darren Hart for many suggestions.

805f6b5e1c blktrace: Use rq->cmd_flags directly in blk_add_trace_rq.
In blk_add_trace_rq, we only chose the minor 2 bits from
request's cmd_flags and did some check for discard.
so most of other flags(e.g, REQ_SYNC) are missing.

For example, with a sync write after blkparse we get:
  8,16   1        1     0.001776503  7509  A  WS 1349632 + 1024 <- (8,17) 1347584

Since now we have integrated the flags of both bio and request,
it is safe to pass rq->cmd_flags directly to __blk_add_trace.

With this patch, after a sync write we get:
  8,16   1        1     0.001776900  5425  A  WS 1189888 + 1024 <- (8,17) 1187840

37a9d912b2 futex: Sanitize cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API
The cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API was funny in that it returned either
the original, user-exposed futex value OR an error code such as -EFAULT.
This was confusing at best, and could be a source of livelocks in places
that retry the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked after trying to fix the issue
by running fault_in_user_writeable().
    
This change makes the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API more similar to the
get_futex_value_locked one, returning an error code and updating the
original value through a reference argument.

bf294b41ce SUNRPC: Close a race in __rpc_wait_for_completion_task()
Although they run as rpciod background tasks, under normal operation
(i.e. no SIGKILL), functions like nfs_sillyrename(), nfs4_proc_unlck()
and nfs4_do_close() want to be fully synchronous. This means that when we
exit, we want all references to the rpc_task to be gone, and we want
any dentry references etc. held by that task to be released.

For this reason these functions call __rpc_wait_for_completion_task(),
followed by rpc_put_task() in the expectation that the latter will be
releasing the last reference to the rpc_task, and thus ensuring that the
callback_ops->rpc_release() has been called synchronously.

This patch fixes a race which exists due to the fact that
rpciod calls rpc_complete_task() (in order to wake up the callers of
__rpc_wait_for_completion_task()) and then subsequently calls
rpc_put_task() without ensuring that these two steps are done atomically.

In order to avoid adding new spin locks, the patch uses the existing
waitqueue spin lock to order the rpc_task reference count releases between
the waiting process and rpciod.
The common case where nobody is waiting for completion is optimised for by
checking if the RPC_TASK_ASYNC flag is cleared and/or if the rpc_task
reference count is 1: in those cases we drop trying to grab the spin lock,
and immediately free up the rpc_task.

Those few processes that need to put the rpc_task from inside an
asynchronous context and that do not care about ordering are given a new
helper: rpc_put_task_async().

What happens is the "ftrace=..." will expand the ring buffer to its
default size (from its minimum size) but it will not expand the
max ring buffer (the ring buffer to store maximum latencies).
When the irqsoff test runs, it will call the ring buffer swap routine
that checks if the max ring buffer is the same size as the normal
ring buffer, and will fail if it is not. This causes the test to fail.

The solution is to expand the max ring buffer before running the self
test if the max ring buffer is used by that tracer and the normal ring
buffer is expanded. The max ring buffer should be shrunk again after
the test is done to save space.

73c1010119 block: initial patch for on-stack per-task plugging
This patch adds support for creating a queuing context outside
of the queue itself. This enables us to batch up pieces of IO
before grabbing the block device queue lock and submitting them to
the IO scheduler.

The context is created on the stack of the process and assigned in
the task structure, so that we can auto-unplug it if we hit a schedule
event.

The current queue plugging happens implicitly if IO is submitted to
an empty device, yet callers have to remember to unplug that IO when
they are going to wait for it. This is an ugly API and has caused bugs
in the past. Additionally, it requires hacks in the vm (->sync_page()
callback) to handle that logic. By switching to an explicit plugging
scheme we make the API a lot nicer and can get rid of the ->sync_page()
hack in the vm.

call trace and object type output of debugobjects can be hard.

Allow the subsystems which support debugobjects to provide a hint
function. This function returns a pointer to a kernel address
(preferrably the objects callback function) which is printed along
with the debugobjects type.

Add hint methods for timer_list, work_struct and hrtimer.

dfef6dcd35 unfuck proc_sysctl ->d_compare()
a) struct inode is not going to be freed under ->d_compare();
however, the thing PROC_I(inode)->sysctl points to just might.
Fortunately, it's enough to make freeing that sucker delayed,
provided that we don't step on its ->unregistering, clear
the pointer to it in PROC_I(inode) before dropping the reference
and check if it's NULL in ->d_compare().

b) I'm not sure that we *can* walk into NULL inode here (we recheck
dentry->seq between verifying that it's still hashed / fetching
dentry->d_inode and passing it to ->d_compare() and there's no
negative hashed dentries in /proc/sys/*), but if we can walk into
that, we really should not have ->d_compare() return 0 on it!

c02aa73b1d sched: Allow users with sufficient RLIMIT_NICE to change from SCHED_IDLE policy
The current scheduler implementation returns -EPERM when trying to
change from SCHED_IDLE to SCHED_OTHER or SCHED_BATCH. Since SCHED_IDLE
is considered to be a nice 20 on steroids, changing to another policy
should be allowed provided the RLIMIT_NICE is accounted for.

This patch allows the following test-case to pass with RLIMIT_NICE=40,
but still fail with RLIMIT_NICE=10 when the calling process is run
from a typical shell (nice 0, or 20 in rlimit terms).

int main()
{
	int ret;
	struct sched_param sp;
	sp.sched_priority = 0;

	/* switch to SCHED_IDLE */
	ret = sched_setscheduler(0, SCHED_IDLE, &sp);
	printf("setscheduler IDLE: %d\n", ret);
	if (ret) return ret;

	/* switch back to SCHED_OTHER */
	ret = sched_setscheduler(0, SCHED_OTHER, &sp);
	printf("setscheduler OTHER: %d\n", ret);

	return ret;

0c3b916801 sched: Fix sched rt group scheduling when hierachy is enabled
The current sched rt code is broken when it comes to hierarchical
scheduling, this patch fixes two problems

1. It adds redundant enqueuing (harmless) when it finds a queue
   has tasks enqueued, but it has no run time and it is not
   throttled.

2. The most important change is in sched_rt_rq_enqueue/dequeue.
   The code just picks the rt_rq belonging to the current cpu
   on which the period timer runs, the patch fixes it, so that
   the correct rt_se is enqueued/dequeued.

Tested with a simple hierarchy

/c/d, c and d assigned similar runtimes of 50,000 and a while
1 loop runs within "d". Both c and d get throttled, without
the patch, the task just stops running and never runs (depends
on where the sched_rt b/w timer runs). With the patch, the
task is throttled and runs as expected.

  rt_rq and correct cpu ]

2d3a8497f8 blktrace: Remove blk_fill_rwbs_rq.
If we enable trace events to trace block actions, We use
blk_fill_rwbs_rq to analyze the corresponding actions
in request's cmd_flags, but we only choose the minor 2 bits
from it, so most of other flags(e.g, REQ_SYNC) are missing.
For example, with a sync write we get:
write_test-2409  [001]   160.013869: block_rq_insert: 3,64 W 0 () 258135 + =
8 [write_test]

Since now we have integrated the flags of both bio and request,
it is safe to pass rq->cmd_flags directly to blk_fill_rwbs and
blk_fill_rwbs_rq isn't needed any more.

With this patch, after a sync write we get:
write_test-2417  [000]   226.603878: block_rq_insert: 3,64 WS 0 () 258135 +=
 8 [write_test]

8d32a307e4 genirq: Provide forced interrupt threading
Add a commandline parameter "threadirqs" which forces all interrupts except
those marked IRQF_NO_THREAD to run threaded. That's mostly a debug option to
allow retrieving better debug data from crashing interrupt handlers. If
"threadirqs" is not enabled on the kernel command line, then there is no
impact in the interrupt hotpath.

Architecture code needs to select CONFIG_IRQ_FORCED_THREADING after
marking the interrupts which cant be threaded IRQF_NO_THREAD. All
interrupts which have IRQF_TIMER set are implict marked
IRQF_NO_THREAD. Also all PER_CPU interrupts are excluded.

Forced threading hard interrupts also forces all soft interrupt
handling into thread context.

When enabled it might slow down things a bit, but for debugging problems in
interrupt code it's a reasonable penalty as it does not immediately
crash and burn the machine when an interrupt handler is buggy.

oneshot mode. Seth unearthed this problem while debugging and working

b5faba21a6 genirq: Prepare the handling of shared oneshot interrupts
For level type interrupts we need to track how many threads are on
flight to avoid useless interrupt storms when not all thread handlers
have finished yet. Keep track of the woken threads and only unmask
when there are no more threads in flight.

Yes, I'm lazy and using a bitfield. But not only because I'm lazy, the
main reason is that it's way simpler than using a refcount. A refcount
based solution would need to keep track of various things like
crashing the irq thread, spurious interrupts coming in,
disables/enables, free_irq() and some more. The bitfield keeps the
tracking simple and makes things just work. It's also nicely confined
to the thread code pathes and does not require additional checks all
over the place.

3f7cce3c18 perf_events: Fix rcu and locking issues with cgroup support
This patches ensures that we do not end up calling
perf_cgroup_from_task() when there is no cgroup event.
This avoids potential RCU and locking issues.

The change in perf_cgroup_set_timestamp() ensures we
check against ctx->nr_cgroups. It also avoids calling
perf_clock() tiwce in a row. It also ensures we do need
to grab ctx->lock before calling the function.

We drop update_cgrp_time() from task_clock_event_read()
because it is not needed. This also avoids having to
deal with perf_cgroup_from_task().

800d4d30c8 sched, autogroup: Stop going ahead if autogroup is disabled
when autogroup is disable from the beginning,
sched_autogroup_create_attach()
  autogroup_move_group()                    <== 1
    sched_move_task()                       <== 2
      task_move_group_fair()
        set_task_rq()
          task_group()
            autogroup_task_group()

We go the whole path without doing anything useful.

Then stop going further if autogroup is disabled.

But there will be a race window between 1 and 2, in which
sysctl_sched_autogroup_enabled is enabled. This issue
will be toke by following patch.

866ab43efd sched: Fix the group_imb logic
On a 2*6*2 machine something like:

 taskset -c 3-11 bash -c 'for ((i=0;i<9;i++)) do while :; do :; done & done'

_should_ result in 9 busy CPUs, each running 1 task.

However it didn't quite work reliably, most of the time one cpu of the
second socket (6-11) would be idle and one cpu of the first socket
(0-5) would have two tasks on it.

The group_imb logic is supposed to deal with this and detect when a
particular group is imbalanced (like in our case, 0-2 are idle but 3-5
will have 4 tasks on it).

The detection phase needed a bit of a tweak as it was too weak and
required more than 2 avg weight tasks difference between idle and busy
cpus in the group which won't trigger for our test-case. So cure that
to be one or more avg task weight difference between cpus.

Once the detection phase worked, it was then defeated by the f_b_g()
tests trying to avoid ping-pongs. In particular, this_load >= max_load
triggered because the pulling cpu (the (first) idle cpu in on the
second socket, say 6) would find this_load to be 5 and max_load to be
4 (there'd be 5 tasks running on our socket and only 4 on the other
socket).

70433c0161 genirq: Use the correct variable for note_interrupt
note_interrupt wants to be called with the combined result of all
handlers called, not with the last one. If it's a shared interrupt
then the last handler might return IRQ_NONE often enough to trigger
the spurious dectector which turns off a perfectly fine working
interrupt line. Bug was introduced in commit 1277a532(genirq: Simplify
handle_irq_event()).

Yes, I really messed up there. First the variable ret should not have
been named differently to avoid similarity with retval. Second it
should have been declared in the do {} loop.

Rename it to res and move it into the do {} loop and vanish under a
huge brown paperbag.

70a08cca12 timers: Add CLOCK_BOOTTIME hrtimer base
CLOCK_MONOTONIC stops while the system is in suspend. This is because
to applications system suspend is invisible. However, there is a
growing set of applications that are wanting to be suspend-aware,
but do not want to deal with the complications of CLOCK_REALTIME
(which might jump around if settimeofday is called).

For these applications, I propose a new clockid: CLOCK_BOOTTIME.
CLOCK_BOOTTIME is idential to CLOCK_MONOTONIC, except it also
includes any time spent in suspend.

This patch add hrtimer base for CLOCK_BOOTTIME, using
get_monotonic_boottime/ktime_get_boottime, to allow
in kernel users to set timers against.

e06383db9e hrtimers: extend hrtimer base code to handle more then 2 clockids
The hrtimer code is written mainly with CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC
in mind. These are clockids 0 and 1 resepctively. However, if we are
to introduce any new hrtimer bases, using new clockids, we have to skip
the cputimers (clockids 2,3) as well as other clockids that may not impelement
timers.

This patch adds a little bit of indirection between the clockid and
the base, so that we can extend the base by one when we add
a new clockid at number 7 or so.

ed4dea6e0e genirq: Use IRQ_BITMAP_BITS as search size in irq_alloc_descs()
The runtime expansion of nr_irqs does not take into account that
bitmap_find_next_zero_area() returns "start" + size in case the search
for an matching zero area fails. That results in a start value which
can be completely off and is not covered by the following
expand_nr_irqs() and possibly outside of the absolute limit. But we
use it without further checking.

Use IRQ_BITMAP_BITS as the limit for the bitmap search and expand
nr_irqs when the start bit is beyond nr_irqs. So start is always
pointing to the correct area in the bitmap. nr_irqs is just the limit
for irq enumerations, not the real limit for the irq space.

[ tglx: Let irq_expand_nr_irqs() take the new upper end so we do not
  	expand nr_irqs more than necessary. Made changelog readable ]
