Pull percpu changes from Tejun Heo:
"The percpu allocation is now popular enough for the extremely naive
range allocator to cause scalability issues.
The existing allocator linearly scanned the allocation map on both
alloc and free without making use of hint or anything. Al
reimplemented the range allocator so that it can use binary search
instead of linear scan during free and alloc path uses simple hinting
to avoid scanning in common cases. Combined, the new allocator
resolves the scalability issue percpu allocator was showing during
container benchmark workload"

Pull s390 compat wrapper rework from Heiko Carstens:
"S390 compat system call wrapper simplification work.
The intention of this work is to get rid of all hand written assembly
compat system call wrappers on s390, which perform proper sign or zero
extension, or pointer conversion of compat system call parameters.
Instead all of this should be done with C code eg by using Al's
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro.
Therefore all common code and s390 specific compat system calls have
been converted to the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro.
In order to generate correct code all compat system calls may only
have eg compat_ulong_t parameters, but no unsigned long parameters.
Those patches which change parameter types from unsigned long to
compat_ulong_t parameters are separate in this series, but shouldn't
cause any harm.
The only compat system calls which intentionally have 64 bit
parameters (preadv64 and pwritev64) in support of the x86/32 ABI
haven't been changed, but are now only available if an architecture
defines __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PREADV64/PWRITEV64.
System calls which do not have a compat variant but still need proper
zero extension on s390, like eg "long sys_brk(unsigned long brk)" will
get a proper wrapper function with the new s390 specific
COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAPx() macro:
COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP1(brk, unsigned long, brk);
which generates the following code (simplified):
asmlinkage long sys_brk(unsigned long brk);
asmlinkage long compat_sys_brk(long brk)
{
return sys_brk((u32)brk);
}
Given that the C file which contains all the COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP lines
includes both linux/syscall.h and linux/compat.h, it will generate
build errors, if the declaration of sys_brk() doesn't match, or if
there exists a non-matching compat_sys_brk() declaration.
In addition this will intentionally result in a link error if
somewhere else a compat_sys_brk() function exists, which probably
should have been used instead. Two more BUILD_BUG_ONs make sure the
size and type of each compat syscall parameter can be handled
correctly with the s390 specific macros.
I converted the compat system calls step by step to verify the
generated code is correct and matches the previous code. In fact it
did not always match, however that was always a bug in the hand
written asm code.
In result we get less code, less bugs, and much more sanity checking"

It its possible to configure your PAM stack to refuse login if audit
messages (about the login) were unable to be sent. This is common in
many distros and thus normal configuration of many containers. The PAM
modules determine if audit is enabled/disabled in the kernel based on
the return value from sending an audit message on the netlink socket.
If userspace gets back ECONNREFUSED it believes audit is disabled in the
kernel. If it gets any other error else it refuses to let the login
proceed.
Just about ever since the introduction of namespaces the kernel audit
subsystem has returned EPERM if the task sending a message was not in
the init user or pid namespace. So many forms of containers have never
worked if audit was enabled in the kernel.
BUT if the container was not in net_init then the kernel network code
would send ECONNREFUSED (instead of the audit code sending EPERM). Thus
by pure accident/dumb luck/bug if an admin configured the PAM stack to
reject all logins that didn't talk to audit, but then ran the login
untility in the non-init_net namespace, it would work!! Clearly this was
a bug, but it is a bug some people expected.
With the introduction of network namespace support in 3.14-rc1 the two
bugs stopped cancelling each other out. Now, containers in the
non-init_net namespace refused to let users log in (just like PAM was
configfured!) Obviously some people were not happy that what used to let
users log in, now didn't!
This fix is kinda hacky. We return ECONNREFUSED for all non-init
relevant namespaces. That means that not only will the old broken
non-init_net setups continue to work, now the broken non-init_pid or
non-init_user setups will 'work'. They don't really work, since audit
isn't logging things. But it's what most users want.
In 3.15 we should have patches to support not only the non-init_net
(3.14) namespace but also the non-init_pid and non-init_user namespace.
So all will be right in the world. This just opens the doors wide open
on 3.14 and hopefully makes users happy, if not the audit system...

Use cmpxchg() to atomically set i_flags instead of clearing out the

We should not be using static variable mousedev_mix in methods that can be
called before that singleton gets assigned. While at it let's add open and
close methods to mousedev structure so that we do not need to test if we
are dealing with multiplexor or normal device and simply call appropriate
method directly.

If a new (id == -1) ff effect was uploaded from userspace,
ff-core.c::input_ff_upload() will have assigned a positive number to the
new effect id. Currently, evdev.c::evdev_do_ioctl() will save this new id
to userspace, regardless of whether the upload succeeded or not.
On upload failure, this can be confusing because the dev->ff->effects[]
array will not contain an element at the index of that new effect id.
This patch fixes this by leaving the id unchanged after upload fails.
Note: Unfortunately applications should still expect changed effect id for
quite some time.
This has been discussed on:

Olivier Bonvalet reported having repeated crashes due to a failed
assertion he was hitting in rbd_img_obj_callback():
Assertion failure in rbd_img_obj_callback() at line 2165:
rbd_assert(which >= img_request->next_completion);
With a lot of help from Olivier with reproducing the problem
we were able to determine the object and image requests had
already been completed (and often freed) at the point the
assertion failed.
There was a great deal of discussion on the ceph-devel mailing list
about this. The problem only arose when there were two (or more)
object requests in an image request, and the problem was always
seen when the second request was being completed.
The problem is due to a race in the window between setting the
"done" flag on an object request and checking the image request's
next completion value. When the first object request completes, it
checks to see if its successor request is marked "done", and if
so, that request is also completed. In the process, the image
request's next_completion value is updated to reflect that both
the first and second requests are completed. By the time the
second request is able to check the next_completion value, it
has been set to a value *greater* than its own "which" value,
which caused an assertion to fail.
Fix this problem by skipping over any completion processing
unless the completing object request is the next one expected.
Test only for inequality (not >=), and eliminate the bad
assertion.

When the vlan filtering is enabled on the bridge, but
the filter is not configured on the bridge device itself,
running tcpdump on the bridge device will result in a
an Oops with NULL pointer dereference. The reason
is that br_pass_frame_up() will bypass the vlan
check because promisc flag is set. It will then try
to get the table pointer and process the packet based
on the table. Since the table pointer is NULL, we oops.
Catch this special condition in br_handle_vlan().

skb_network_protocol() already accounts for multiple vlan
headers that may be present in the skb. However, skb_mac_gso_segment()
doesn't know anything about it and assumes that skb->mac_len
is set correctly to skip all mac headers. That may not
always be the case. If we are simply forwarding the packet (via
bridge or macvtap), all vlan headers may not be accounted for.
A simple solution is to allow skb_network_protocol to return
the vlan depth it has calculated. This way skb_mac_gso_segment
will correctly skip all mac headers.
