d9fa9441ed [S390] dasd: use idal for device characteristics
If the rdc_buffer is above 2G we need indirect addresssing so we have
to use an idaw to give the rdc_buffer to the ccw.
If the rdc_buffer is under 2G nothing changes.

03cadd36d5 [S390] tape390: Fix request queue handling in block driver
When setting a channel attached tape online under Linux 2.6.31, the

"vol_id" process from udev hangs in sync_page():
 2 sync_page+144 [0x1dfaac]
 3 __wait_on_bit_lock+194 [0x58c23e]
 4 __lock_page+116 [0x1df9dc]
 5 truncate_inode_pages_range+728 [0x1ed7cc]
 6 __blkdev_put+244 [0x25f738]
 7 __fput+300 [0x229c4c]
 8 filp_close+122 [0x225a3a]

The reason for that is an error in the request queue handling. It can
happen that we fetch a request, but do not process it further because
the number of queued requests exceeds TAPEBLOCK_MIN_REQUEUE.
To fix this, we should call blk_peek_request() instead of
blk_fetch_request() in the while condition and fetch the request in
the loop body afterwards.

This bug was introduced with the patch "block: implement and enforce
request peek/start/fetch" (9934c8c045)

tun_chr_fasync() is serialized by get/put_tun() and fasync_helper()
has no dependency on BKL. The modification of tun->flags is racy with

c44fc77084 tracing: Move syscalls metadata handling from arch to core
Most of the syscalls metadata processing is done from arch.
But these operations are mostly generic accross archs. Especially now
that we have a common variable name that expresses the number of
syscalls supported by an arch: NR_syscalls, the only remaining bits
that need to reside in arch is the syscall nr to addr translation.

v2: Compare syscalls symbols only after the "sys" prefix so that we
    avoid spurious mismatches with archs that have syscalls wrappers,
    in which case syscalls symbols have "SyS" prefixed aliases.

1572ca2a84 Input: fix locking issue in /proc/bus/input/ handlers
input_devices_seq_start() uses mutex_lock_interruptible() to acquire
the input_mutex, but doesn't properly handle the situation when the
call fails (for example due to interrupt). Instead of returning NULL
(which indicates that there is no more data) we should return
ERR_PTR()-encoded error.

We also need explicit flag indicating whether input_mutex was acquired
since input_devices_seq_stop() is called whether input_devices_seq_start()
was successful or not.

The same applies to input_handlers_seq_start().

2626eb2b2f x86, apic: Limit apic dumping, introduce new show_lapic= setup option
In case if a system has a large number of cpus printing apics
contents may consume a long time period.

We limit such an output by 1 apic by default. But to have an
ability to see all apics or some part of them we introduce
"show_lapic" setup option which allow us to limit/unlimit the
number of APICs being dumped.

Example: apic=debug show_lapic=5, or apic=debug show_lapic=all

Also move apic_verbosity checking upper that way so helper routines
do not need to inspect it at all.

We need to postpone restoring LED state and typematic settings until
keyboard is finished reconnecting upon resume. Normally driver core
and PM infrastructure takes care of proper ordering and dependencies,
but or case actual reconnect is done asynchronously from kseriod.
So while driver core thinks that keyboard was resumed and it is time
to let input core run it's resume handlers in reality keyboard is not
ready yet. The solution is to keep rescheduling work that adjusts LED
and rate settings until keyboard is fully enabled.

03541f8b69 perf_event: Adjust frequency and unthrottle for non-group-leader events
The loop in perf_ctx_adjust_freq checks the frequency of sampling
event counters, and adjusts the event interval and unthrottles the
event if required, and resets the interrupt count for the event.
However, at present it only looks at group leaders.

This means that a sampling event that is not a group leader will
eventually get throttled, once its interrupt count reaches
sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate/HZ --- and that is guaranteed to
happen, if the event is active for long enough, since the interrupt
count never gets reset.  Once it is throttled it never gets
unthrottled, so it basically just stops working at that point.

This fixes it by making perf_ctx_adjust_freq use ctx->event_list
rather than ctx->group_list.  The existing spin_lock/spin_unlock
around the loop makes it unnecessary to put rcu_read_lock/
rcu_read_unlock around the list_for_each_entry_rcu().

194ec34184 function-graph/x86: Replace unbalanced ret with jmp
The function graph tracer replaces the return address with a hook
to trace the exit of the function call. This hook will finish by
returning to the real location the function should return to.

But the current implementation uses a ret to jump to the real
return location. This causes a imbalance between calls and ret.
That is the original function does a call, the ret goes to the
handler and then the handler does a ret without a matching call.

Although the function graph tracer itself still breaks the branch
predictor by replacing the original ret, by using a second ret and
causing an imbalance, it breaks the predictor even more.

This patch replaces the ret with a jmp to keep the calls and ret
balanced. I tested this on one box and it showed a 1.7% increase in
performance. Another box only showed a small 0.3% increase. But no
box that I tested this on showed a decrease in performance by
making this change.

is not calling the batch hpte invalidate hcall (H_BULK_REMOVE).

It turns out we have a duplicate firmware feature for hcall-bulk and the
current setup code stops after finding the first match. This meant we never
batch and always do individual invalidates.

The patch below removes the duplicate and shifts FW_FEATURE_CMO to close
the gap. With the patch applied the single threaded page fault rate improves
from 217169 to 238755 per second on a POWER5 test box, a 10% improvement.

8d8997f34e powerpc/mm: Fix hang accessing top of vmalloc space
On pSeries, we always force the IO space to be mapped using 4K
pages even with a 64K base page size to cope with some limitations
in the HV interface to some devices.

However, the SLB miss handler code to discriminate between vmalloc
and ioremap space uses a CPU feature section such that the code
is nop'ed out when the processor support large pages non-cachable
mappings.

Thus, we end up always using the ioremap page size for vmalloc
segments on such processors, causing a discrepency between the
segment and the hash table, and thus a hang continously hashing
the page.

It works for the first segment of the vmalloc space since that
segment is "bolted" in by C code correctly, and thankfully we
almost never use the vmalloc space beyond the first segment,
but the new percpu code made the bug happen.

This fixes it by removing the feature section from the assembly,
we now always do the comparison between vmalloc and ioremap.

cppcheck found a memory leak in axon_msi, if dcr_base or dcr_len are zero,
we have already allocated msic, so we should free it in the error path.

11a50873ef powerpc/pmac: Fix issues with sleep on some powerbooks
Since the change of how interrupts are disabled during suspend,
certain PowerBook models started exhibiting various issues during
suspend or resume from sleep.

I finally tracked it down to the code that runs various "platform"
functions (kind of little scripts extracted from the device-tree),
which uses our i2c and PMU drivers expecting interrutps to work,
and at a time where with the new scheme, they have been disabled.

This causes timeouts internally which for some reason results in
the PMU being unable to see the trackpad, among other issues, really
it depends on the machine. Most of the time, we fail to properly adjust
some clocks for suspend/resume so the results are not always
predictable.

This patch fixes it by using IRQF_TIMER for both the PMU and the I2C
interrupts. I prefer doing it this way than moving the call sites since
I really want those platform functions to still be called after all
drivers (and before sysdevs).

We also do a slight cleanup to via-pmu.c driver to make sure the
ADB autopoll mask is handled correctly when doing bus resets

d780613acc sh: Only invalidate the I-cache range for secondary CPUs stack_start.
Secondary CPUs already take care of the D-cache bits through the common
cache initialization path, and the only thing that is necessary after
twiddling around with stack_start is ensuring that the I-cache changes
are visible (particularly since this tends to be the only part lacking
coherency).

36c8719926 sh: Provide CALLER_ADDRx definitions even when ftrace is disabled.
Despite being located in the ftrace header, the CALLER_ADDRx definitions
are used by generic code. As such, we have to provide it generically, and
given that there is no real dependence on ftrace in the first place, the
definitions can just be moved out.

be10ab1090 powerpc64/ftrace: use PACA to retrieve TOC in mod_return_to_handler
The mod_return_to_handler needs to switch to the kernel TOC before
jumping to a the kernel code. It currently does this by looking
at the kernel function data and retrieves the TOC that way.

Not only is this inefficient, it also breaks with a relocatable kernel.
The PACA contains the kernel TOC and we can easily retrieve it that
way.

9135c3cc5a powerpc/ftrace: show real return addresses in modules
When the function graph tracer is enabled, it replaces the return address
with a hook back to the tracer. This makes back traces see the hook instead
of the actual return address.

The current code also shows the real address by checking if the return
address jumps to the return_to_handler. If it is, is also prints out
the saved real return address.

On powerpc64, some modules may return to mod_return_to_handler, which
is not checked. This patch will also show the real address if a return
is to mod_return_to_handler as well.
