For the time being, move the generic percpu_*() accessors to

asm-generic/percpu.h is meant to carry generic stuff for low level
stuff - declarations, definitions and pointer offset calculation
and so on but not for generic interface.

2f2a2132ff Separate out the proc- and unit-specific header directories from the general
MN10300 arch headers and place them instead in the same directories as contain
the .c files for the processor and unit implementations.

This permits the symlinks include/asm/proc and include/asm/unit to be
dispensed with.  This does, however, require that #include <asm/proc/xxx.h> be
converted to #include <proc/xxx.h> and similarly for asm/unit -> unit.

746cddd37d x86, intr-remap: fix eoi for interrupt remapping without x2apic
To simplify level irq migration in the presence of interrupt-remapping,
Suresh used a virtual vector (io-apic pin number) to eliminate io-apic
RTE modification. Level triggered interrupt will appear as an edge to
the local apic cpu but still as level to the IO-APIC. So in addition to
do the local apic EOI, it still needs to do IO-APIC directed EOI to clear
the remote IRR bit in the IO-APIC RTE. Pls refer to Suresh's patch for
more details (commit 0280f7c416).

Now interrupt remapping is decoupled from x2apic, it also needs to do the
directed EOI for apic. Otherwise, apic interrupts won't work correctly.

93cfb3c9fd tracing: fix splice return too large
I got these from strace:

 splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 12288
 splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 12288
 splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 12288
 splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 16384
 splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 8192
 splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 8192
 splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 8192

I wanted to splice_read 4096 bytes, but it returns 8192 or larger.

It is because the return value of tracing_buffers_splice_read()
does not include "zero out any left over data" bytes.

But tracing_buffers_read() includes these bytes, we make them
consistent.

c7625a555f tracing: update file->f_pos when splice(2) it
Impact: Cleanup

These two lines:

	if (unlikely(*ppos))
		return -ESPIPE;

in tracing_buffers_splice_read() are not needed, VFS layer
has disabled seek(2).

We remove these two lines, and then we can update file->f_pos.

And tracing_buffers_read() updates file->f_pos, this fix
make tracing_buffers_splice_read() updates file->f_pos too.

d1e7e02f30 tracing: disable seeking for trace_pipe_raw
Impact: disable pread()

We set tracing_buffers_fops.llseek to no_llseek,
but we can still perform pread() to read this file.

That is not expected.

This fix uses nonseekable_open() to disable it.

tracing_buffers_fops.llseek is still set to no_llseek,
it mark this file is a "non-seekable device" and is used by
sys_splice(). See also do_splice() or manual of splice(2):

ERRORS

34574dd10b keys: Handle there being no fallback destination keyring for request_key()
When request_key() is called, without there being any standard process
keyrings on which to fall back if a destination keyring is not specified, an
oops is liable to occur when construct_alloc_key() calls down_write() on
dest_keyring's semaphore.

Due to function inlining this may be seen as an oops in down_write() as called
from request_key_and_link().

This situation crops up during boot, where request_key() is called from within
the kernel (such as in CIFS mounts) where nobody is actually logged in, and so
PAM has not had a chance to create a session keyring and user keyrings to act
as the fallback.

To fix this, make construct_alloc_key() not attempt to cache a key if there is
no fallback key if no destination keyring is given specifically.

36cd3c9f92 mutex: have non-spinning mutexes on s390 by default
Impact: performance regression fix for s390

The adaptive spinning mutexes will not always do what one would expect on
virtualized architectures like s390. Especially the cpu_relax() loop in
mutex_spin_on_owner might hurt if the mutex holding cpu has been scheduled
away by the hypervisor.

We would end up in a cpu_relax() loop when there is no chance that the
state of the mutex changes until the target cpu has been scheduled again by
the hypervisor.

For that reason we should change the default behaviour to no-spin on s390.

We do have an instruction which allows to yield the current cpu in favour of
a different target cpu. Also we have an instruction which allows us to figure
out if the target cpu is physically backed.

However we need to do some performance tests until we can come up with
a solution that will do the right thing on s390.

97c18e2c7a module: try_then_request_module must wait
Since the whole point of try_then_request_module is to retry
the operation after a module has been loaded, we must wait for
the module to fully load.

Otherwise all sort of things start breaking, e.g., you won't
be able to read your encrypted disks on the first attempt.
