d1cd214277 pwm: Set enable state properly on failed call to enable
The pwm_enable() function didn't clear the enabled bit if a call to the
driver's ->enable() callback returned an error. The result was that the
state of the PWM core was wrong. Clearing the bit when enable returns
an error ensures the state is properly set.

d0e536d893 context_tracking: avoid irq_save/irq_restore on guest entry and exit
guest_enter and guest_exit must be called with interrupts disabled,
since they take the vtime_seqlock with write_seq{lock,unlock}.
Therefore, it is not necessary to check for exceptions, nor to
save/restore the IRQ state, when context tracking functions are
called by guest_enter and guest_exit.

Split the body of context_tracking_entry and context_tracking_exit
out to __-prefixed functions, and use them from KVM.

Rik van Riel has measured this to speed up a tight vmentry/vmexit
loop by about 2%.

f70cd6b07e context_tracking: remove duplicate enabled check
All calls to context_tracking_enter and context_tracking_exit
are already checking context_tracking_is_enabled, except the
context_tracking_user_enter and context_tracking_user_exit
functions left in for the benefit of assembly calls.

Pull the check up to those functions, by making them simple
wrappers around the user_enter and user_exit inline functions.

64d513ac31 scsi: use host wide tags by default
This patch changes the !blk-mq path to the same defaults as the blk-mq
I/O path by always enabling block tagging, and always using host wide
tags.  We've had blk-mq available for a few releases so bugs with
this mode should have been ironed out, and this ensures we get better
coverage of over tagging setup over different configs.

c8299cb605 kernel.h: make abs() work with 64-bit types
For 64-bit arguments, the abs macro casts it to an int which leads to
lost precision and may cause incorrect results.  To deal with 64-bit
types abs64 macro has been introduced but still there are places where
abs macro is used incorrectly.

To deal with the problem, expand abs macro such that it operates on s64
type when dealing with 64-bit types while still returning long when
dealing with smaller types.

This fixes one known bug (per John):

The internal clocksteering done for fine-grained error correction uses a
: logarithmic approximation, so any time adjtimex() adjusts the clock
: steering, timekeeping_freqadjust() quickly approximates the correct clock
: frequency over a series of ticks.
:
: Unfortunately, the logic in timekeeping_freqadjust(), introduced in commit
: dc491596f6 (Rework frequency adjustments to work better w/ nohz),
: used the abs() function with a s64 error value to calculate the size of
: the approximated adjustment to be made.
:
: Per include/linux/kernel.h: "abs() should not be used for 64-bit types
: (s64, u64, long long) - use abs64()".
:
: Thus on 32-bit platforms, this resulted in the clocksteering to take a
: quite dampended random walk trying to converge on the proper frequency,
: which caused the adjustments to be made much slower then intended (most
: easily observed when large adjustments are made).

5037835c1f coredump: add DAX filtering for ELF coredumps
Add two new flags to the existing coredump mechanism for ELF files to
allow us to explicitly filter DAX mappings.  This is desirable because
DAX mappings, like hugetlb mappings, have the potential to be very
large.

Update the coredump_filter documentation in
Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt so that it addresses the new DAX
coredump flags.  Also update the documented default value of
coredump_filter to be consistent with the core(5) man page.  The
documentation being updated talks about bit 4, Dump ELF headers, which
is enabled if CONFIG_CORE_DUMP_DEFAULT_ELF_HEADERS is turned on in the
kernel config.  This kernel config option defaults to "y" if both ELF
binaries and coredump are enabled.

05229beedd block: add block polling support
Add basic support for polling for specific IO to complete. This uses
the cookie that blk-mq passes back, which enables the block layer
to pass this cookie to the driver to spin for a specific request.

This will be combined with request latency tracking, so we can make
qualified decisions about when to poll and when not to. For now, for
benchmark purposes, we add a sysfs file that controls whether polling
is enabled or not.

95ad1f4a93 netfilter: ipset: Fix extension alignment
The data extensions in ipset lacked the proper memory alignment and
thus could lead to kernel crash on several architectures. Therefore
the structures have been reorganized and alignment attributes added
where needed. The patch was tested on armv7h by Gerhard Wiesinger and
on x86_64, sparc64 by Jozsef Kadlecsik.

002edb6f6f dma-mapping: tidy up dma_parms default handling
Many DMA controllers and other devices set max_segment_size to
indicate their scatter-gather capability, but have no interest in
segment_boundary_mask. However, the existence of a dma_parms structure
precludes the use of any default value, leaving them as zeros (assuming
a properly kzalloc'ed structure). If a well-behaved IOMMU (or SWIOTLB)
then tries to respect this by ensuring a mapped segment does not cross
a zero-byte boundary, hilarity ensues.

Since zero is a nonsensical value for either parameter, treat it as an
indicator for "default", as might be expected. In the process, clean up
a bit by replacing the bare constants with slightly more meaningful
macros and removing the superfluous "else" statements.

be0e6f290f signal: turn dequeue_signal_lock() into kernel_dequeue_signal()
1. Rename dequeue_signal_lock() to kernel_dequeue_signal(). This
   matches another "for kthreads only" kernel_sigaction() helper.

2. Remove the "tsk" and "mask" arguments, they are always current
   and current->blocked. And it is simply wrong if tsk != current.

3. We could also remove the 3rd "siginfo_t *info" arg but it looks
   potentially useful. However we can simplify the callers if we
   change kernel_dequeue_signal() to accept info => NULL.

4. Remove _irqsave, it is never called from atomic context.

2e01fabe67 signals: kill block_all_signals() and unblock_all_signals()
It is hardly possible to enumerate all problems with block_all_signals()
and unblock_all_signals().  Just for example,

1. block_all_signals(SIGSTOP/etc) simply can't help if the caller is
   multithreaded. Another thread can dequeue the signal and force the
   group stop.

2. Even is the caller is single-threaded, it will "stop" anyway. It
   will not sleep, but it will spin in kernel space until SIGCONT or
   SIGKILL.

And a lot more. In short, this interface doesn't work at all, at least
the last 10+ years.

Daniel said:

  Yeah the only times I played around with the DRM_LOCK stuff was when
  old drivers accidentally deadlocked - my impression is that the entire

44fda11460 nilfs2: add a tracepoint for transaction events
This patch adds a tracepoint for transaction events of nilfs.  With the
tracepoint, these events can be tracked: begin, abort, commit, trylock,
lock, and unlock.  Basically, these events have corresponding functions
e.g.  begin event corresponds nilfs_transaction_begin().  The unlock event
is an exception.  It corresponds to the iteration in
nilfs_transaction_lock().

Only one tracepoint is introcued: nilfs2_transaction_transition.  The
above events are distinguished with newly introduced enum.  With this
tracepoint, we can analyse a critical section of segment constructoin.

Sample output by tpoint of perf-tools:
              cp-4457  [000] ...1    63.266220: nilfs2_transaction_transition: sb = ffff8802112b8800 ti = ffff8800bf5ccc58 count = 1 flags = 9 state = BEGIN

transition event for consistent coding style.

5849770383 nilfs2: add a tracepoint for tracking stage transition of segment construction
This patch adds a tracepoint for tracking stage transition of block
collection in segment construction.  With the tracepoint, we can analysis
the behavior of segment construction in depth.  It would be useful for
bottleneck detection and debugging, etc.

The tracepoint is created with the standard trace API of linux (like ext3,
ext4, f2fs and btrfs).  So we can analysis with existing tools easily.  Of
course, more detailed analysis will be possible if we can create nilfs
specific analysis tools.

Below is an example of event dump with Brendan Gregg's perf-tools
(https://github.com/brendangregg/perf-tools).  Time consumption between
each stage can be obtained.

$ sudo bin/tpoint nilfs2:nilfs2_collection_stage_transition

For capturing transition correctly, this patch adds wrappers for the
member scnt of nilfs_cstage.  With this change, every transition of the
stage can produce trace event in a correct manner.

8de1ee7ebf rbtree: clarify documentation of rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe()
I noticed that commit a20135ffbc ("writeback: don't drain
bdi_writeback_congested on bdi destruction") added a usage of
rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe() in mm/backing-dev.c which appears
to try to rb_erase() elements from an rbtree while iterating over it using
rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe().

Doing this will cause random nodes to be missed by the iteration because
rb_erase() may rebalance the tree, changing the ordering that we're trying
to iterate over.

The previous documentation for rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe()
wasn't clear that this wasn't allowed, it was taken from the docs for
list_for_each_entry_safe(), where erasing isn't a problem due to
list_del() not reordering.

Explicitly warn developers about this potential pit-fall.

Note that I haven't fixed the actual issue that (it appears) the commit
referenced above introduced (not familiar enough with that code).

In general (and in this case), the patterns to follow are:
 - switch to rb_first() + rb_erase(), don't use
   rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe().
 - keep the postorder iteration and don't rb_erase() at all. Instead
   just clear the fields of rb_node & cgwb_congested_tree as required by
   other users of those structures.

0a9df786a6 lib/kasprintf.c: introduce kvasprintf_const
This adds kvasprintf_const which tries to use kstrdup_const if possible:
If the format string contains no % characters, or if the format string is
exactly "%s", we delegate to kstrdup_const.  Otherwise, we fall back to
kvasprintf.

Just as for kstrdup_const, the main motivation is to save memory by
reusing .rodata when possible.

The return value should be freed by kfree_const, just like for
kstrdup_const.

There is deliberately no kasprintf_const: In the vast majority of cases,
the format string argument is a literal, so one can determine statically
whether one could instead use kstrdup_const directly (which would also
require one to change all corresponding kfree calls to kfree_const).

1d798ca3f1 mm: make compound_head() robust
Hugh has pointed that compound_head() call can be unsafe in some
context. There's one example:

	CPU0					CPU1

isolate_migratepages_block()
  page_count()
    compound_head()
      !!PageTail() == true
					put_page()
					  tail->first_page = NULL
      head = tail->first_page
					alloc_pages(__GFP_COMP)
					   prep_compound_page()
					     tail->first_page = head
					     __SetPageTail(p);
      !!PageTail() == true
    <head == NULL dereferencing>

The race is pure theoretical. I don't it's possible to trigger it in
practice. But who knows.

We can fix the race by changing how encode PageTail() and compound_head()
within struct page to be able to update them in one shot.

The patch introduces page->compound_head into third double word block in
front of compound_dtor and compound_order. Bit 0 encodes PageTail() and
the rest bits are pointer to head page if bit zero is set.

The patch moves page->pmd_huge_pte out of word, just in case if an
architecture defines pgtable_t into something what can have the bit 0
set.

hugetlb_cgroup uses page->lru.next in the second tail page to store
pointer struct hugetlb_cgroup. The patch switch it to use page->private
in the second tail page instead. The space is free since ->first_page is
removed from the union.

The patch also opens possibility to remove HUGETLB_CGROUP_MIN_ORDER
limitation, since there's now space in first tail page to store struct
hugetlb_cgroup pointer. But that's out of scope of the patch.

That means page->compound_head shares storage space with:

 - page->lru.next;
 - page->next;
 - page->rcu_head.next;

That's too long list to be absolutely sure, but looks like nobody uses
bit 0 of the word.

page->rcu_head.next guaranteed[1] to have bit 0 clean as long as we use
call_rcu(), call_rcu_bh(), call_rcu_sched(), or call_srcu(). But future
call_rcu_lazy() is not allowed as it makes use of the bit and we can
get false positive PageTail().

f1e61557f0 mm: pack compound_dtor and compound_order into one word in struct page
The patch halves space occupied by compound_dtor and compound_order in
struct page.

For compound_order, it's trivial long -> short conversion.

For get_compound_page_dtor(), we now use hardcoded table for destructor
lookup and store its index in the struct page instead of direct pointer
to destructor. It shouldn't be a big trouble to maintain the table: we
have only two destructor and NULL currently.

This patch free up one word in tail pages for reuse. This is preparation
for the next patch.

Make the return type of zpool_get_type const; the string belongs to the
zpool driver and should not be modified.  Remove the redundant type field
in the struct zpool; it is private to zpool.c and isn't needed since
->driver->type can be used directly.  Add comments indicating strings must
be null-terminated.

c62d25556b mm, fs: introduce mapping_gfp_constraint()
There are many places which use mapping_gfp_mask to restrict a more
generic gfp mask which would be used for allocations which are not
directly related to the page cache but they are performed in the same
context.

Let's introduce a helper function which makes the restriction explicit and
easier to track.  This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.

dd56b04642 mm: page_alloc: hide some GFP internals and document the bits and flag combinations
Andrew stated the following

	We have quite a history of remote parts of the kernel using
	weird/wrong/inexplicable combinations of __GFP_ flags.	I tend
	to think that this is because we didn't adequately explain the
	interface.

	And I don't think that gfp.h really improved much in this area as
	a result of this patchset.  Could you go through it some time and
	decide if we've adequately documented all this stuff?

This patches first moves some GFP flag combinations that are part of the MM
internals to mm/internal.h. The rest of the patch documents the __GFP_FOO
bits under various headings and then documents the flag combinations. It
will not help callers that are brain damaged but the clarity might motivate
some fixes and avoid future mistakes.

0aaa29a56e mm, page_alloc: reserve pageblocks for high-order atomic allocations on demand
High-order watermark checking exists for two reasons -- kswapd high-order
awareness and protection for high-order atomic requests.  Historically the
kernel depended on MIGRATE_RESERVE to preserve min_free_kbytes as
high-order free pages for as long as possible.  This patch introduces
MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC that reserves pageblocks for high-order atomic
allocations on demand and avoids using those blocks for order-0
allocations.  This is more flexible and reliable than MIGRATE_RESERVE was.

A MIGRATE_HIGHORDER pageblock is created when an atomic high-order
allocation request steals a pageblock but limits the total number to 1% of
the zone.  Callers that speculatively abuse atomic allocations for
long-lived high-order allocations to access the reserve will quickly fail.
 Note that SLUB is currently not such an abuser as it reclaims at least
once.  It is possible that the pageblock stolen has few suitable
high-order pages and will need to steal again in the near future but there
would need to be strong justification to search all pageblocks for an
ideal candidate.

The pageblocks are unreserved if an allocation fails after a direct
reclaim attempt.

The watermark checks account for the reserved pageblocks when the
allocation request is not a high-order atomic allocation.

The reserved pageblocks can not be used for order-0 allocations.  This may
allow temporary wastage until a failed reclaim reassigns the pageblock.
This is deliberate as the intent of the reservation is to satisfy a
limited number of atomic high-order short-lived requests if the system
requires them.

The stutter benchmark was used to evaluate this but while it was running
there was a systemtap script that randomly allocated between 1 high-order
page and 12.5% of memory's worth of order-3 pages using GFP_ATOMIC.  This
is much larger than the potential reserve and it does not attempt to be
realistic.  It is intended to stress random high-order allocations from an
unknown source, show that there is a reduction in failures without
introducing an anomaly where atomic allocations are more reliable than
regular allocations.  The amount of memory reserved varied throughout the
workload as reserves were created and reclaimed under memory pressure.
The allocation failures once the workload warmed up were as follows;

4.2-rc5-vanilla		70%
4.2-rc5-atomic-reserve	56%

The failure rate was also measured while building multiple kernels.  The
failure rate was 14% but is 6% with this patch applied.

Overall, this is a small reduction but the reserves are small relative to
the number of allocation requests.  In early versions of the patch, the
failure rate reduced by a much larger amount but that required much larger
reserves and perversely made atomic allocations seem more reliable than
regular allocations.
