f869e8a7f7 expose a low-level variant of fd_install() for binder
Similar situation to that of __alloc_fd(); do not use unless you
really have to.  You should not touch any descriptor table other
than your own; it's a sure sign of a really bad API design.

As with __alloc_fd(), you *must* use a first-class reference to
struct files_struct; something obtained by get_files_struct(some task)
(let alone direct task->files) will not do.  It must be either
current->files, or obtained by get_files_struct(current) by the
owner of that sucker and given to you.

b9e02af0ae don't bother with call_rcu() in put_files_struct()
At that point nobody can see us anyway; everything that
looks at files_fdtable(files) is separated from the
guts of put_files_struct(files) - either since files is
current->files or because we fetched it under task_lock()
and hadn't dropped that yet, or because we'd bumped
files->count while holding task_lock()...

dcfadfa4ec new helper: __alloc_fd()
Essentially, alloc_fd() in a files_struct we own a reference to.
Most of the time wanting to use it is a sign of lousy API
design (such as android/binder).  It's *not* a general-purpose
interface; better that than open-coding its guts, but again,
playing with other process' descriptor table is a sign of bad
design.

514f1c67c2 perf trace: New tool
Initially should look loosely like the venerable 'strace' tool, but
using the infrastructure in the perf tools to allow tracing extra
targets:

  [acme@sandy linux]$ perf trace --hell
  Error: unknown option `hell'

   usage: perf trace <PID>

      -p, --pid <pid>       trace events on existing process id
          --tid <tid>       trace events on existing thread id
          --all-cpus        system-wide collection from all CPUs
          --cpu <cpu>       list of cpus to monitor
          --no-inherit      child tasks do not inherit counters
          --mmap-pages <n>  number of mmap data pages
          --uid <user>      user to profile

  [acme@sandy linux]$

Those should have the same semantics as when using with 'perf record'.

It gets stuck sometimes, but hey, it works sometimes too!

In time it should support perf.data based workloads, i.e. it should have
a:
	-o filename

Command line option that will produce a perf.data file that can then be
used with 'perf trace' or any of the other perf tools (script, report,
etc).

It will also eventually have the set of functionalities described in the
previous 'trace' prototype by Thomas Gleixner:

   "Announcing a new utility: 'trace'"
   http://lwn.net/Articles/415728/

Also planned is to have some of the features suggested in the comments
of that LWN article.

833dd8224e drm/nvc0/fifo: ignore bits in PFIFO_INTR that aren't set in PFIFO_INTR_EN
PFIFO_INTR = 0x40000000 appears to be a normal case on nvc0/nve0 PFIFO,
the binary driver appears to completely ignore it in its PFIFO interrupt
handler and even masks off the bit (as we do) in PFIFO_INTR_EN at init
time.

The bits still light up in the hardware sometimes though, so lets just
ignore any bits we haven't explicitely requested.

0424caa145 dm thin: fix discard support for data devices
The discard limits that get established for a thin-pool or thin device
may be incompatible with the pool's data device.  Avoid this by checking
the discard limits of the pool's data device.  If an incompatibility is
found then the pool's 'discard passdown' feature is disabled.

Change thin_io_hints to ensure that a thin device always uses the same
queue limits as its pool device.

Introduce requested_pf to track whether or not the table line originally
contained the no_discard_passdown flag and use this directly for table
output.  We prepare the correct setting for discard_passdown directly in
bind_control_target (called from pool_io_hints) and store it in
adjusted_pf rather than waiting until we have access to pool->pf in
pool_preresume.

3ae7065616 dm: retain table limits when swapping to new table with no devices
Add a safety net that will re-use the DM device's existing limits in the
event that DM device has a temporary table that doesn't have any
component devices.  This is to reduce the chance that requests not
respecting the hardware limits will reach the device.

DM recalculates queue limits based only on devices which currently exist
in the table.  This creates a problem in the event all devices are
temporarily removed such as all paths being lost in multipath.  DM will
reset the limits to the maximum permissible, which can then assemble
requests which exceed the limits of the paths when the paths are
restored.  The request will fail the blk_rq_check_limits() test when
sent to a path with lower limits, and will be retried without end by
multipath.  This became a much bigger issue after v3.6 commit fe86cdcef
("block: do not artificially constrain max_sectors for stacking
drivers").

c3c4555edd dm table: clear add_random unless all devices have it set
Always clear QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM if any underlying device does not
have it set. Otherwise devices with predictable characteristics may
contribute entropy.

QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM specifies whether or not queue IO timings
contribute to the random pool.

For bio-based targets this flag is always 0 because such devices have no
real queue.

For request-based devices this flag was always set to 1 by default.

Now set it according to the flags on underlying devices. If there is at
least one device which should not contribute, set the flag to zero: If a
device, such as fast SSD storage, is not suitable for supplying entropy,
a request-based queue stacked over it will not be either.

Because the checking logic is exactly same as for the rotational flag,
share the iteration function with device_is_nonrot().

ba1cbad93d dm: handle requests beyond end of device instead of using BUG_ON
The access beyond the end of device BUG_ON that was introduced to
dm_request_fn via commit 29e4013de7 ("dm: implement
REQ_FLUSH/FUA support for request-based dm") was an overly
drastic (but simple) response to this situation.

I have received a report that this BUG_ON was hit and now think
it would be better to use dm_kill_unmapped_request() to fail the clone
and original request with -EIO.

map_request() will assign the valid target returned by
dm_table_find_target to tio->ti.  But when the target
isn't valid tio->ti is never assigned (because map_request isn't
called); so add a check for tio->ti != NULL to dm_done().

7ba10aa6fb dm mpath: only retry ioctl when no paths if queue_if_no_path set
When there are no paths and multipath receives an ioctl, it waits until
a path becomes available.  This behaviour is incorrect if the
"queue_if_no_path" setting was not specified, as then the ioctl should
be rejected immediately, which this patch now does.

commit 35991652b ("dm mpath: allow ioctls to trigger pg init") should
have checked if queue_if_no_path was configured before queueing IO.

Checking for the queue_if_no_path feature, like is done in map_io(),
allows the following table load to work without blocking in the
multipath_ioctl retry loop:

  echo "0 1024 multipath 0 0 0 0" | dmsetup create mpath_nodevs

Without this fix the multipath_ioctl will block with the following stack

307615a26e dm thin: do not set discard_zeroes_data
The dm thin pool target claims to support the zeroing of discarded
data areas.  This turns out to be incorrect when processing discards
that do not exactly cover a complete number of blocks, so the target
must always set discard_zeroes_data_unsupported.

The thin pool target will zero blocks when they are allocated if the
skip_block_zeroing feature is not specified.  The block layer
may send a discard that only partly covers a block.  If a thin pool
block is partially discarded then there is no guarantee that the
discarded data will get zeroed before it is accessed again.
Due to this, thin devices cannot claim discards will always zero data.

6574a5d505 tools/power turbostat: print more turbo-limit information
The "turbo-limit" is the maximum opportunistic processor
speed, assuming no electrical or thermal constraints.
For a given processor, the turbo-limit varies, depending
on the number of active cores.  Generally, there is more
opportunity when fewer cores are active.

Under the "-v" verbose option, turbostat would
print the turbo-limits for the four cases
of 1 to 4 cores active.

Expand that capability to cover the cases of turbo
opportunities with up to 16 cores active.

Note that not all hardware platforms supply this information,
and that sometimes a valid limit may be specified for
a core which is not actually present.

73201dbec6 x86, suspend: On wakeup always initialize cr4 and EFER
We already have a flag word to indicate the existence of MISC_ENABLES,
so use the same flag word to indicate existence of cr4 and EFER, and
always restore them if they exist.  That way if something passes a
nonzero value when the value *should* be zero, we will still
initialize it.

5a5a51db78 x86-32: Start out eflags and cr4 clean
%cr4 is supposed to reflect a set of features into which the operating
system is opting in.  If the BIOS or bootloader leaks bits here, this
is not desirable.  Consider a bootloader passing in %cr4.pae set to a
legacy paging kernel, for example -- it will not have any immediate
effect, but the kernel would crash when turning paging on.

A similar argument applies to %eflags, and since we have to look for
%eflags.id being settable we can use a sequence which clears %eflags
as a side effect.

Note that we already do this for x86-64.

4cabd1d962 ARM: 7539/1: kexec: scan for dtb magic in segments
This patch allows a dtb to be passed to a new kernel using the kexec
mechinism.

When loading segments from userspace, scan each segment's first four
bytes for the dtb magic. If this is found set the kexec_boot_atags
parameter to the relocate_kernel code to the phyical address of this
segment.

56942fec06 ARM: 7538/1: delay: add registration mechanism for delay timer sources
The current timer-based delay loop relies on the architected timer to
initiate the switch away from the polling-based implementation. This is
unfortunate for platforms without the architected timers but with a
suitable delay source (that is, constant frequency, always powered-up
and ticking as long as the CPUs are online).

This patch introduces a registration mechanism for the delay timer
(which provides an unconditional read_current_timer implementation) and
updates the architected timer code to use the new interface.
