The commit "asm-generic: add NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH to define sg_dma_len()"
18e98307de broke microblaze compilation.
dma_direct_map_sg() sets sg->dma_length, however microblaze doesn't
set NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH so scatterlist strcutres doesn't include
dma_length.
sg->dma_length is always equal to sg->length on microblaze. So we
don't need to set set dma_length, that is, microblaze can simply use
sg->length.

The code that hashes and unhashes connections from the connection table
is missing locking of the connection being modified, which opens up a
race condition and results in memory corruption when this race condition
is hit.
Here is what happens in pretty verbose form:
CPU 0 CPU 1
------------ ------------
An active connection is terminated and
we schedule ip_vs_conn_expire() on this
CPU to expire this connection.
IRQ assignment is changed to this CPU,
but the expire timer stays scheduled on
the other CPU.
New connection from same ip:port comes
in right before the timer expires, we
find the inactive connection in our
connection table and get a reference to
it. We proper lock the connection in
tcp_state_transition() and read the
connection flags in set_tcp_state().
ip_vs_conn_expire() gets called, we
unhash the connection from our
connection table and remove the hashed
flag in ip_vs_conn_unhash(), without
proper locking!
While still holding proper locks we
write the connection flags in
set_tcp_state() and this sets the hashed
flag again.
ip_vs_conn_expire() fails to expire the
connection, because the other CPU has
incremented the reference count. We try
to re-insert the connection into our
connection table, but this fails in
ip_vs_conn_hash(), because the hashed
flag has been set by the other CPU. We
re-schedule execution of
ip_vs_conn_expire(). Now this connection
has the hashed flag set, but isn't
actually hashed in our connection table
and has a dangling list_head.
We drop the reference we held on the
connection and schedule the expire timer
for timeouting the connection on this
CPU. Further packets won't be able to
find this connection in our connection
table.
ip_vs_conn_expire() gets called again,
we think it's already hashed, but the
list_head is dangling and while removing
the connection from our connection table
we write to the memory location where
this list_head points to.
The result will probably be a kernel oops at some other point in time.
This race condition is pretty subtle, but it can be triggered remotely.
It needs the IRQ assignment change or another circumstance where packets
coming from the same ip:port for the same service are being processed on
different CPUs. And it involves hitting the exact time at which
ip_vs_conn_expire() gets called. It can be avoided by making sure that
all packets from one connection are always processed on the same CPU and
can be made harder to exploit by changing the connection timeouts to
some custom values.

The POWER7 core has dynamic SMT mode switching which is controlled by
the hypervisor. There are 3 SMT modes:
SMT1 uses thread 0
SMT2 uses threads 0 & 1
SMT4 uses threads 0, 1, 2 & 3
When in any particular SMT mode, all threads have the same performance
as each other (ie. at any moment in time, all threads perform the same).
The SMT mode switching works such that when linux has threads 2 & 3 idle
and 0 & 1 active, it will cede (H_CEDE hypercall) threads 2 and 3 in the
idle loop and the hypervisor will automatically switch to SMT2 for that
core (independent of other cores). The opposite is not true, so if
threads 0 & 1 are idle and 2 & 3 are active, we will stay in SMT4 mode.
Similarly if thread 0 is active and threads 1, 2 & 3 are idle, we'll go
into SMT1 mode.
If we can get the core into a lower SMT mode (SMT1 is best), the threads
will perform better (since they share less core resources). Hence when
we have idle threads, we want them to be the higher ones.
This adds a feature bit for asymmetric packing to powerpc and then
enables it on POWER7.

Check to see if the group is packed in a sched doman.
This is primarily intended to used at the sibling level. Some cores
like POWER7 prefer to use lower numbered SMT threads. In the case of
POWER7, it can move to lower SMT modes only when higher threads are
idle. When in lower SMT modes, the threads will perform better since
they share less core resources. Hence when we have idle threads, we
want them to be the higher ones.
This adds a hook into f_b_g() called check_asym_packing() to check the
packing. This packing function is run on idle threads. It checks to
see if the busiest CPU in this domain (core in the P7 case) has a
higher CPU number than what where the packing function is being run
on. If it is, calculate the imbalance and return the higher busier
thread as the busiest group to f_b_g(). Here we are assuming a lower
CPU number will be equivalent to a lower SMT thread number.
It also creates a new SD_ASYM_PACKING flag to enable this feature at
any scheduler domain level.
It also creates an arch hook to enable this feature at the sibling
level. The default function doesn't enable this feature.
Based heavily on patch from Peter Zijlstra.

Handle cpu capacity being reported as 0 on cores with more number of
hardware threads. For example on a Power7 core with 4 hardware
threads, core power is 1177 and thus power of each hardware thread is
1177/4 = 294. This low power can lead to capacity for each hardware
thread being calculated as 0, which leads to tasks bouncing within the
core madly!
Fix this by reporting capacity for hardware threads as 1, provided
their power is not scaled down significantly because of frequency
scaling or real-time tasks usage of cpu.

In the new push model, all idle CPUs indeed go into nohz mode. There is
still the concept of idle load balancer (performing the load balancing
on behalf of all the idle cpu's in the system). Busy CPU kicks the nohz
balancer when any of the nohz CPUs need idle load balancing.
The kickee CPU does the idle load balancing on behalf of all idle CPUs
instead of the normal idle balance.
This addresses the below two problems with the current nohz ilb logic:
* the idle load balancer continued to have periodic ticks during idle and
wokeup frequently, even though it did not have any rebalancing to do on
behalf of any of the idle CPUs.
* On x86 and CPUs that have APIC timer stoppage on idle CPUs, this
periodic wakeup can result in a periodic additional interrupt on a CPU
doing the timer broadcast.
Also currently we are migrating the unpinned timers from an idle to the cpu
doing idle load balancing (when all the cpus in the system are idle,
there is no idle load balancing cpu and timers get added to the same idle cpu
where the request was made. So the existing optimization works only on semi idle
system).
And In semi idle system, we no longer have periodic ticks on the idle load
balancer CPU. Using that cpu will add more delays to the timers than intended
(as that cpu's timer base may not be uptodate wrt jiffies etc). This was
causing mysterious slowdowns during boot etc.
For now, in the semi idle case, use the nearest busy cpu for migrating timers
from an idle cpu. This is good for power-savings anyway.

tickless idle has a negative side effect on update_cpu_load(), which
in turn can affect load balancing behavior.
update_cpu_load() is supposed to be called every tick, to keep track
of various load indicies. With tickless idle, there are no scheduler
ticks called on the idle CPUs. Idle CPUs may still do load balancing
(with idle_load_balance CPU) using the stale cpu_load. It will also
cause problems when all CPUs go idle for a while and become active
again. In this case loads would not degrade as expected.
This is how rq->nr_load_updates change looks like under different
conditions:

That is update_cpu_load works properly only when all CPUs are busy.
If all are idle, all the CPUs get way lower updates. And when few
CPUs are busy and rest are idle, only busy and ilb CPU does proper
updates and rest of the idle CPUs will do lower updates.
The patch keeps track of when a last update was done and fixes up
the load avg based on current time.
On one of my test system SPECjbb with warehouse 1..numcpus, patch
improves throughput numbers by ~1% (average of 6 runs). On another
test system (with different domain hierarchy) there is no noticable
change in perf.

prev = rq->curr after the context switch. You always schedule
back to where you came from, prev must be equal to current
even if cpu/rq was changed.
- This also means reacquire_kernel_lock() can use prev instead

- No need to reassign switch_count if reacquire_kernel_lock()
reports need_resched(), we can just move the initial assignment
down, under the "need_resched_nonpreemptible:" label.

sync can currently take a really long time if a concurrent writer is
extending a file. The problem is that the dirty pages on the address
space grow in the same direction as write_cache_pages scans, so if
the writer keeps ahead of writeback, the writeback will not
terminate until the writer stops adding dirty pages.
For a data integrity sync, we only need to write the pages dirty at
the time we start the writeback, so we can stop scanning once we get
to the page that was at the end of the file at the time the scan
started.
This will prevent operations like copying a large file preventing
sync from completing as it will not write back pages that were
dirtied after the sync was started. This does not impact the
existing integrity guarantees, as any dirty page (old or new)
within the EOF range at the start of the scan will still be
captured.
This patch will not prevent sync from blocking on large writes into
holes. That requires more complex intervention while this patch only
addresses the common append-case of this sync holdoff.

If a filesystem writes more than one page in ->writepage, write_cache_pages
fails to notice this and continues to attempt writeback when wbc->nr_to_write
has gone negative - this trace was captured from XFS:
wbc_writeback_start: towrt=1024
wbc_writepage: towrt=1024
wbc_writepage: towrt=0
wbc_writepage: towrt=-1
wbc_writepage: towrt=-5

This has adverse effects on filesystem writeback behaviour. write_cache_pages()

no_nrwrite_index_update writeback control flag"), but cannot be reverted
directly due to subsequent bug fixes that have gone in on top of it.

This reportedly causes a lockdep warning on nfsd shutdown. That looks
like a false positive to me, but there's no reason why this needs the
state lock anyway.

TP_STORE_SIGINFO() forgets about SEND_SIG_FORCED, fix.
We should probably export is_si_special() and change TP_STORE_SIGINFO()
to use it in the longer term.

The boot tracer is useless. It simply logs the initcalls
but in fact these initcalls are also logged through printk
while using the initcall_debug kernel parameter.
Nobody seem to be using it so far. Then just remove it.

Drop this argument now that we always want to rewind only to the
state of the first caller.
It means frame pointers are not necessary anymore to reliably get
the source of an event. But this also means we need this helper
to be a macro now, as an inline function is not an option since
we need to know when to provide a default implentation.

arch/x86/include/asm/stacktrace.h and arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack.h
declare headers of objects that deal with the same topic.
Actually most of the files that include stacktrace.h also include
dumpstack.h
Although dumpstack.h seems more reserved for internals of stack
traces, those are quite often needed to define specialized stack
trace operations. And perf event arch headers are going to need
access to such low level operations anyway. So don't continue to
bother with dumpstack.h as it's not anymore about isolated deep
internals.

Commit 55929332c9 "drivers: Push down BKL into various drivers"
introduced a regression in hp_sdc_rtc, caused by a missing
change of the .unlocked_ioctl pointer to the newly introduced
function.

drivers/input/misc/hp_sdc_rtc.c:681: warning: initialization from
incompatible pointer type

Concurrency managed workqueue needs to know when workers are going to
sleep and waking up. Using these two hooks, cmwq keeps track of the
current concurrency level and throttles execution of new works if it's
too high and wakes up another worker from the sleep hook if it becomes
too low.
This patch introduces PF_WQ_WORKER to identify workqueue workers and
adds the following two hooks.
* wq_worker_waking_up(): called when a worker is woken up.
* wq_worker_sleeping(): called when a worker is going to sleep and may
return a pointer to a local task which should be woken up. The
returned task is woken up using try_to_wake_up_local() which is
simplified ttwu which is called under rq lock and can only wake up
local tasks.
Both hooks are currently defined as noop in kernel/workqueue_sched.h.
Later cmwq implementation will replace them with proper
implementation.
These hooks are hard coded as they'll always be enabled.

Factor ttwu_activate() and ttwu_woken_up() out of try_to_wake_up().
The factoring out doesn't affect try_to_wake_up() much
code-generation-wise. Depending on configuration options, it ends up
generating the same object code as before or slightly different one
due to different register assignment.
This is to help future implementation of try_to_wake_up_local().
Mike Galbraith suggested rename to ttwu_post_activation() from
ttwu_woken_up() and comment update in try_to_wake_up().
