4ee0a60392 rcu: using ACCESS_ONCE() to observe the jiffies_stall/rnp->qsmask value
Using ACCESS_ONCE() to observe the jiffies_stall/rnp->qsmask value
due to the caller didn't hold the root_rcu/rnp node's lock.  Although
use without ACCESS_ONCE() is safe due to the value loaded being used
but once, the ACCESS_ONCE() is a good documentation aid -- the variables
are being loaded without the services of a lock.

Here a newly created task is having its runqueue assigned.  The new task
is not yet on the tasklist, so cannot go away.  This is therefore a false
positive, suppress with an RCU read-side critical section.

5336377d62 modules: Fix module_bug_list list corruption race
With all the recent module loading cleanups, we've minimized the code
that sits under module_mutex, fixing various deadlocks and making it
possible to do most of the module loading in parallel.

However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code
that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling.  That code was
doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for
dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific
"module_finalize()" rather than from generic code.

Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin
with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the
module loading lock any more.

So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away
from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the
process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations
are now safe.

Future fixups:
 - move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it
   belongs.
 - get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules
   (called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain
   for other reasons.

db71922217 BKL: Explicitly add BKL around get_sb/fill_super
This patch is a preparation necessary to remove the BKL from do_new_mount().
It explicitly adds calls to lock_kernel()/unlock_kernel() around
get_sb/fill_super operations for filesystems that still uses the BKL.

I've read through all the code formerly covered by the BKL inside
do_kern_mount() and have satisfied myself that it doesn't need the BKL
any more.

do_kern_mount() is already called without the BKL when mounting the rootfs
and in nfsctl. do_kern_mount() calls vfs_kern_mount(), which is called
from various places without BKL: simple_pin_fs(), nfs_do_clone_mount()
through nfs_follow_mountpoint(), afs_mntpt_do_automount() through
afs_mntpt_follow_link(). Both later functions are actually the filesystems
follow_link inode operation. vfs_kern_mount() is calling the specified
get_sb function and lets the filesystem do its job by calling the given
fill_super function.

Therefore I think it is safe to push down the BKL from the VFS to the
low-level filesystems get_sb/fill_super operation.

[arnd: do not add the BKL to those file systems that already
       don't use it elsewhere]

This patch fixes an error in perf_event_open() when the pid
provided by the user is invalid. find_lively_task_by_vpid()
does not return NULL on error but an error code. Without the

ff7dcd44dd genirq: Create irq_data
Low level chip functions need access to irq_desc->handler_data,
irq_desc->chip_data and irq_desc->msi_desc. We hand down the irq
number to the low level functions, so they need to lookup irq_desc.
With sparse irq this means a radix tree lookup.

We could hand down irq_desc itself, but low level chip functions have
no need to fiddle with it directly and we want to restrict access to
irq_desc further.

Preparatory patch for new chip functions.

Note, that the ugly anon union/struct is there to avoid a full tree
wide clean up for now. This is not going to last 3 years like __do_IRQ()

399f1e30ac kfifo: fix scatterlist usage
The kfifo_dma family of functions use sg_mark_end() on the last element in
their scatterlist.  This forces use of a fresh scatterlist for each DMA
operation, which makes recycling a single scatterlist impossible.

Change the behavior of the kfifo_dma functions to match the usage of the
dma_map_sg function.  This means that users must respect the returned
nents value.  The sample code is updated to reflect the change.

This bug is trivial to cause: call kfifo_dma_in_prepare() such that it
prepares a scatterlist with a single entry comprising the whole fifo.
This is the case when you map the entirety of a newly created empty fifo.
This causes the setup_sgl() function to mark the first scatterlist entry
as the end of the chain, no matter what comes after it.

Afterwards, add and remove some data from the fifo such that another call
to kfifo_dma_in_prepare() will create two scatterlist entries.  It returns
nents=2.  However, due to the previous sg_mark_end() call, sg_is_last()
will now return true for the first scatterlist element.  This causes the
sample code to print a single scatterlist element when it should print
two.

By removing the call to sg_mark_end(), we make the API as similar as
possible to the DMA mapping API.  All users are required to respect the
returned nents.

269dcc1c2e rcu: Add tracing data to support queueing models
The current tracing data is not sufficient to deduce the average time
that a callback spends waiting for a grace period to end.  Add three
per-CPU counters recording the number of callbacks invoked (ci), the
number of callbacks orphaned (co), and the number of callbacks adopted
(ca).  Given the existing callback queue length (ql), the average wait
time in absence of CPU hotplug operations is ql/ci.  The units of wait
time will be in terms of the duration over which ci was measured.

In the presence of CPU hotplug operations, there is room for argument,
but ql/(ci-co+ca) won't steer you too far wrong.

a247c3a97a rmap: fix walk during fork
The below bug in fork led to the rmap walk finding the parent huge-pmd
twice instead of just once, because the anon_vma_chain objects of the
child vma still point to the vma->vm_mm of the parent.

The patch fixes it by making the rmap walk accurate during fork.  It's not
a big deal normally but it worth being accurate considering the cost is
the same.

4c3ef6d793 jump label: Add jump_label_text_reserved() to reserve jump points
Add a jump_label_text_reserved(void *start, void *end), so that other
pieces of code that want to modify kernel text, can first verify that
jump label has not reserved the instruction.

bf5438fca2 jump label: Base patch for jump label
base patch to implement 'jump labeling'. Based on a new 'asm goto' inline
assembly gcc mechanism, we can now branch to labels from an 'asm goto'
statment. This allows us to create a 'no-op' fastpath, which can subsequently
be patched with a jump to the slowpath code. This is useful for code which
might be rarely used, but which we'd like to be able to call, if needed.
Tracepoints are the current usecase that these are being implemented for.

b3bc211cfe sched: Give CPU bound RT tasks preference
If a high priority task is waking up on a CPU that is running a
lower priority task that is bound to a CPU, see if we can move the
high RT task to another CPU first. Note, if all other CPUs are
running higher priority tasks than the CPU bounded current task,
then it will be preempted regardless.
