Rework RapidIO switch drivers to add an option to build them as loadable
kernel modules.
This patch removes RapidIO-specific vmlinux section and converts switch
drivers to be compatible with LDM driver registration method. To simplify
registration of device-specific callback routines this patch introduces
rio_switch_ops data structure. The sw_sysfs() callback is removed from
the list of device-specific operations because under the new structure its
functions can be handled by switch driver's probe() and remove() routines.
If a specific switch device driver is not loaded the RapidIO subsystem
core will use default standard-based operations to configure a switch.
Because the current implementation of RapidIO enumeration/discovery method
relies on availability of device-specific operations for error management,
switch device drivers must be loaded before the RapidIO
enumeration/discovery starts.
This patch also moves several common routines from enumeration/discovery
module into the RapidIO core code to make switch-specific operations
accessible to all components of RapidIO subsystem.

copy_process() adds the new child to thread_group/init_task.tasks list and
then does attach_pid(child, PIDTYPE_PID). This means that the lockless
next_thread() or next_task() can see this thread with the wrong pid. Say,
"ls /proc/pid/task" can list the same inode twice.
We could move attach_pid(child, PIDTYPE_PID) up, but in this case
find_task_by_vpid() can find the new thread before it was fully
initialized.
And this is already true for PIDTYPE_PGID/PIDTYPE_SID, With this patch
copy_process() initializes child->pids[*].pid first, then calls
attach_pid() to insert the task into the pid->tasks list.
attach_pid() no longer need the "struct pid*" argument, it is always
called after pid_link->pid was already set.

dmi_match() considers a substring match to be a successful match. This is
not always sufficient to distinguish between DMI data for different
systems. Add support for exact string matching using strcmp() in addition
to the substring matching using strstr().
The specific use case in the i915 driver is to allow us to use an exact
match for D510MO, without also incorrectly matching D510MOV:
{
.ident = "Intel D510MO",
.matches = {
DMI_MATCH(DMI_BOARD_VENDOR, "Intel"),
DMI_EXACT_MATCH(DMI_BOARD_NAME, "D510MO"),
},

Instead of leaving a hidden trap for the next person who comes along and
wants to add something to mem_section, add a big fat warning about it
needing to be a power-of-2, and insert a BUILD_BUG_ON() in sparse_init()
to catch mistakes.
Right now non-power-of-2 mem_sections cause a number of WARNs at boot
(which don't clearly point to the size of mem_section as an issue), but
the system limps on (temporarily, at least).
This is based upon Dave Hansen's earlier RFC where he ran into the same
issue:

Currently lock_memory_hotplug()/unlock_memory_hotplug() are used to
protect totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages. Other than the memory
hotplug driver, totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages may also be
modified at runtime by other drivers, such as Xen balloon,
virtio_balloon etc. For those cases, memory hotplug lock is a little
too heavy, so introduce a dedicated lock to protect totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages.
Now we have a simplified locking rules totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages as:
1) no locking for read accesses because they are unsigned long.
2) no locking for write accesses at boot time in single-threaded context.
3) serialize write accesses at runtime by acquiring the dedicated
managed_page_count_lock.
Also adjust zone->managed_pages when freeing reserved pages into the
buddy system, to keep totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages in
consistence.

Commit "mm: introduce new field 'managed_pages' to struct zone" assumes
that all highmem pages will be freed into the buddy system by function
mem_init(). But that's not always true, some architectures may reserve
some highmem pages during boot. For example PPC may allocate highmem
pages for giagant HugeTLB pages, and several architectures have code to
check PageReserved flag to exclude highmem pages allocated during boot
when freeing highmem pages into the buddy system.
So treat highmem pages in the same way as normal pages, that is to:
1) reset zone->managed_pages to zero in mem_init().
2) recalculate managed_pages when freeing pages into the buddy system.

Considering the use cases where the swap device supports discard:
a) and can do it quickly;
b) but it's slow to do in small granularities (or concurrent with other
I/O);
c) but the implementation is so horrendous that you don't even want to
send one down;
And assuming that the sysadmin considers it useful to send the discards down
at all, we would (probably) want the following solutions:
i. do the fine-grained discards for freed swap pages, if device is
capable of doing so optimally;
ii. do single-time (batched) swap area discards, either at swapon
or via something like fstrim (not implemented yet);
iii. allow doing both single-time and fine-grained discards; or
iv. turn it off completely (default behavior)
As implemented today, one can only enable/disable discards for swap, but
one cannot select, for instance, solution (ii) on a swap device like (b)
even though the single-time discard is regarded to be interesting, or
necessary to the workload because it would imply (1), and the device is
not capable of performing it optimally.
This patch addresses the scenario depicted above by introducing a way to
ensure the (probably) wanted solutions (i, ii, iii and iv) can be flexibly
flagged through swapon(8) to allow a sysadmin to select the best suitable
swap discard policy accordingly to system constraints.
This patch introduces SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_PAGES and SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_ONCE
new flags to allow more flexibe swap discard policies being flagged
through swapon(8). The default behavior is to keep both single-time, or
batched, area discards (SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_ONCE) and fine-grained discards
for page-clusters (SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_PAGES) enabled, in order to keep
consistentcy with older kernel behavior, as well as maintain compatibility
with older swapon(8). However, through the new introduced flags the best
suitable discard policy can be selected accordingly to any given swap
device constraint.

Currently the per cpu counter's batch size for memory accounting is
configured as twice the number of cpus in the system. However, for
system with very large memory, it is more appropriate to make it
proportional to the memory size per cpu in the system.
For example, for a x86_64 system with 64 cpus and 128 GB of memory, the
batch size is only 2*64 pages (0.5 MB). So any memory accounting
changes of more than 0.5MB will overflow the per cpu counter into the
global counter. Instead, for the new scheme, the batch size is
configured to be 0.4% of the memory/cpu = 8MB (128 GB/64 /256), which is
more inline with the memory size.
I've done a repeated brk test of 800KB (from will-it-scale test suite)
with 80 concurrent processes on a 4 socket Westmere machine with a total
of 40 cores. Without the patch, about 80% of cpu is spent on spin-lock
contention within the vm_committed_as counter. With the patch, there's
a 73x speedup on the benchmark and the lock contention drops off almost
entirely.

Now that the LRU to add a page to is decided at LRU-add time, remove the
misleading lru parameter from __pagevec_lru_add. A consequence of this
is that the pagevec_lru_add_file, pagevec_lru_add_anon and similar
helpers are misleading as the caller no longer has direct control over
what LRU the page is added to. Unused helpers are removed by this patch
and existing users of pagevec_lru_add_file() are converted to use
lru_cache_add_file() directly and use the per-cpu pagevecs instead of
creating their own pagevec.

We want to allocate ELF note segment buffer on the 2nd kernel in vmalloc
space and remap it to user-space in order to reduce the risk that memory
allocation fails on system with huge number of CPUs and so with huge ELF
note segment that exceeds 11-order block size.
Although there's already remap_vmalloc_range for the purpose of
remapping vmalloc memory to user-space, we need to specify user-space
range via vma.
Mmap on /proc/vmcore needs to remap range across multiple objects, so
the interface that requires vma to cover full range is problematic.
This patch introduces remap_vmalloc_range_partial that receives user-space
range as a pair of base address and size and can be used for mmap on
/proc/vmcore case.
remap_vmalloc_range is rewritten using remap_vmalloc_range_partial.

Page reclaim keeps track of dirty and under writeback pages and uses it
to determine if wait_iff_congested() should stall or if kswapd should
begin writing back pages. This fails to account for buffer pages that
can be under writeback but not PageWriteback which is the case for
filesystems like ext3 ordered mode. Furthermore, PageDirty buffer pages
can have all the buffers clean and writepage does no IO so it should not
be accounted as congested.
This patch adds an address_space operation that filesystems may
optionally use to check if a page is really dirty or really under
writeback. An implementation is provided for for buffer_heads is added
and used for block operations and ext3 in ordered mode. By default the
page flags are obeyed.
Credit goes to Jan Kara for identifying that the page flags alone are
not sufficient for ext3 and sanity checking a number of ideas on how the
problem could be addressed.

Historically, kswapd used to congestion_wait() at higher priorities if
it was not making forward progress. This made no sense as the failure
to make progress could be completely independent of IO. It was later
replaced by wait_iff_congested() and removed entirely by commit 258401a6
(mm: don't wait on congested zones in balance_pgdat()) as it was
duplicating logic in shrink_inactive_list().
This is problematic. If kswapd encounters many pages under writeback
and it continues to scan until it reaches the high watermark then it
will quickly skip over the pages under writeback and reclaim clean young
pages or push applications out to swap.
The use of wait_iff_congested() is not suited to kswapd as it will only
stall if the underlying BDI is really congested or a direct reclaimer
was unable to write to the underlying BDI. kswapd bypasses the BDI
congestion as it sets PF_SWAPWRITE but even if this was taken into
account then it would cause direct reclaimers to stall on writeback
which is not desirable.
This patch sets a ZONE_WRITEBACK flag if direct reclaim or kswapd is
encountering too many pages under writeback. If this flag is set and
kswapd encounters a PageReclaim page under writeback then it'll assume
that the LRU lists are being recycled too quickly before IO can complete
and block waiting for some IO to complete.

Currently kswapd queues dirty pages for writeback if scanning at an
elevated priority but the priority kswapd scans at is not related to the
number of unqueued dirty encountered. Since commit "mm: vmscan: Flatten
kswapd priority loop", the priority is related to the size of the LRU
and the zone watermark which is no indication as to whether kswapd
should write pages or not.
This patch tracks if an excessive number of unqueued dirty pages are
being encountered at the end of the LRU. If so, it indicates that dirty
pages are being recycled before flusher threads can clean them and flags
the zone so that kswapd will start writing pages until the zone is
balanced.

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
"Surprisingly, Lai and I didn't break too many things implementing
custom pools and stuff last time around and there aren't any follow-up
changes necessary at this point.
The only change in this pull request is Viresh's patches to make some
per-cpu workqueues to behave as unbound workqueues dependent on a boot
param whose default can be configured via a config option. This leads
to higher processing overhead / lower bandwidth as more work items are
bounced across CPUs; however, it can lead to noticeable powersave in
certain configurations - ~10% w/ idlish constant workload on a
big.LITTLE configuration according to Viresh.
This is because per-cpu workqueues interfere with how the scheduler
perceives whether or not each CPU is idle by forcing pinned tasks on
them, which makes the scheduler's power-aware scheduling decisions
less effective.
Its effectiveness is likely less pronounced on homogenous
configurations and this type of optimization can probably be made
automatic; however, the changes are pretty minimal and the affected
workqueues are clearly marked, so it's an easy gain for some
configurations for the time being with pretty unintrusive changes."

2. A voluntary preemption point in uaccess functions means compiler
can't inline them efficiently, this breaks assumptions that they
are very fast and small that e.g. net code seems to make. Remove
this preemption point so behaviour matches with what callers
assume.

like net/sunrpc does will never sleep. Remove an unconditinal
might_sleep() in the might_fault() inline in kernel.h (used when
PROVE_LOCKING is not set).
4. Accesses with pagefault_disable() return EFAULT but won't cause
caller to sleep. Check for that and thus avoid might_sleep() when
PROVE_LOCKING is set.

Pull WW mutex support from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds support for wound/wait style locks, which the graphics
guys would like to make use of in the TTM graphics subsystem.
Wound/wait mutexes are used when other multiple lock acquisitions of a
similar type can be done in an arbitrary order. The deadlock handling
used here is called wait/wound in the RDBMS literature: The older
tasks waits until it can acquire the contended lock. The younger
tasks needs to back off and drop all the locks it is currently
holding, ie the younger task is wounded.
See this LWN.net description of W/W mutexes:
https://lwn.net/Articles/548909/
The comments there outline specific usecases for this facility (which
have already been implemented for the DRM tree).
Also see Documentation/ww-mutex-design.txt for more details"

These are changes that arrived a little late before the merge
window or that have multiple dependencies on previous branches
so they did not fit into one of the earlier ones. There
are 10 branches merged here, a total of 39 non-merge commits.
Contents are a mixed bag for the above reasons:
* Two new SoC platforms: ST microelectronics stixxxx and
the TI 'Nspire' graphing calculator. These should have
been in the 'soc' branch but were a little late
* Support for the Exynos 5420 variant in mach-exynos,
which is based on the other exynos branches to avoid
conflicts.
* Various small changes for sh-mobile, ux500 and davinci
* Common clk support for MSM
Conflicts:
* In Kconfig.debug, various additions trivially conflict,
the list should be kept in alphabetical order when
resolving.
