powerpc: Rework lazy-interrupt handling
The current implementation of lazy interrupts handling has some
issues that this tries to address.
We don't do the various workarounds we need to do when re-enabling
interrupts in some cases such as when returning from an interrupt
and thus we may still lose or get delayed decrementer or doorbell
interrupts.
The current scheme also makes it much harder to handle the external
"edge" interrupts provided by some BookE processors when using the
EPR facility (External Proxy) and the Freescale Hypervisor.
Additionally, we tend to keep interrupts hard disabled in a number
of cases, such as decrementer interrupts, external interrupts, or
when a masked decrementer interrupt is pending. This is sub-optimal.
This is an attempt at fixing it all in one go by reworking the way
we do the lazy interrupt disabling from the ground up.
The base idea is to replace the "hard_enabled" field with a
"irq_happened" field in which we store a bit mask of what interrupt
occurred while soft-disabled.
When re-enabling, either via arch_local_irq_restore() or when returning
from an interrupt, we can now decide what to do by testing bits in that
field.
We then implement replaying of the missed interrupts either by
re-using the existing exception frame (in exception exit case) or via
the creation of a new one from an assembly trampoline (in the
arch_local_irq_enable case).
This removes the need to play with the decrementer to try to create
fake interrupts, among others.
In addition, this adds a few refinements:
- We no longer hard disable decrementer interrupts that occur
while soft-disabled. We now simply bump the decrementer back to max
(on BookS) or leave it stopped (on BookE) and continue with hard interrupts
enabled, which means that we'll potentially get better sample quality from
performance monitor interrupts.
- Timer, decrementer and doorbell interrupts now hard-enable
shortly after removing the source of the interrupt, which means
they no longer run entirely hard disabled. Again, this will improve
perf sample quality.
- On Book3E 64-bit, we now make the performance monitor interrupt
act as an NMI like Book3S (the necessary C code for that to work
appear to already be present in the FSL perf code, notably calling
nmi_enter instead of irq_enter). (This also fixes a bug where BookE
perfmon interrupts could clobber r14 ... oops)
- We could make "masked" decrementer interrupts act as NMIs when doing
timer-based perf sampling to improve the sample quality.

from Michel Machado.
25) When we added VF (virtual function) attributes for network device
dumps, this potentially bloats up the size of the dump of one
network device such that the dump size is too large for the buffer
allocated by properly written netlink applications.
In particular, if you add 255 VFs to a network device, parts of
GLIBC stop working.
To fix this, we add an attribute that is used to turn on these
extended portions of the network device dump. Sophisticaed
applications like 'ip' that want to see this stuff will be changed
to set the attribute, whereas things like GLIBC that don't care
about VFs simply will not, and therefore won't be busted by the
mere presence of VFs on a network device.
Thanks to the tireless work of Greg Rose on this fix.

Fix autofs compile without CONFIG_COMPAT
The autofs compat handling fix caused a compile failure when
CONFIG_COMPAT isn't defined.
Instead of adding random #ifdef'fery in autofs, let's just make the
compat helpers earlier to use: without CONFIG_COMPAT, is_compat_task()
just hardcodes to zero.
We could probably do something similar for a number of other cases where
we have #ifdef's in code, but this is the low-hanging fruit.

autofs: work around unhappy compat problem on x86-64
When the autofs protocol version 5 packet type was added in commit
5c0a32fc2cd0 ("autofs4: add new packet type for v5 communications"), it
obvously tried quite hard to be word-size agnostic, and uses explicitly
sized fields that are all correctly aligned.
However, with the final "char name[NAME_MAX+1]" array at the end, the
actual size of the structure ends up being not very well defined:
because the struct isn't marked 'packed', doing a "sizeof()" on it will
align the size of the struct up to the biggest alignment of the members
it has.
And despite all the members being the same, the alignment of them is
different: a "__u64" has 4-byte alignment on x86-32, but native 8-byte
alignment on x86-64. And while 'NAME_MAX+1' ends up being a nice round
number (256), the name[] array starts out a 4-byte aligned.
End result: the "packed" size of the structure is 300 bytes: 4-byte, but
not 8-byte aligned.
As a result, despite all the fields being in the same place on all
architectures, sizeof() will round up that size to 304 bytes on
architectures that have 8-byte alignment for u64.
Note that this is *not* a problem for 32-bit compat mode on POWER, since
there __u64 is 8-byte aligned even in 32-bit mode. But on x86, 32-bit
and 64-bit alignment is different for 64-bit entities, and as a result
the structure that has exactly the same layout has different sizes.
So on x86-64, but no other architecture, we will just subtract 4 from
the size of the structure when running in a compat task. That way we
will write the properly sized packet that user mode expects.
Not pretty. Sadly, this very subtle, and unnecessary, size difference
has been encoded in user space that wants to read packets of *exactly*
the right size, and will refuse to touch anything else.

ppp: fix 'ppp_mp_reconstruct bad seq' errors
This patch fixes a (mostly cosmetic) bug introduced by the patch
'ppp: Use SKB queue abstraction interfaces in fragment processing'
found here: http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg153312.html
The above patch rewrote and moved the code responsible for cleaning
up discarded fragments but the new code does not catch every case
where this is necessary. This results in some discarded fragments
remaining in the queue, and triggering a 'bad seq' error on the
subsequent call to ppp_mp_reconstruct. Fragments are discarded
whenever other fragments of the same frame have been lost.
This can generate a lot of unwanted and misleading log messages.
This patch also adds additional detail to the debug logging to
make it clearer which fragments were lost and which other fragments
were discarded as a result of losses. (Run pppd with 'kdebug 1'
option to enable debug logging.)

epoll: ep_unregister_pollwait() can use the freed pwq->whead
signalfd_cleanup() ensures that ->signalfd_wqh is not used, but
this is not enough. eppoll_entry->whead still points to the memory
we are going to free, ep_unregister_pollwait()->remove_wait_queue()
is obviously unsafe.
Change ep_poll_callback(POLLFREE) to set eppoll_entry->whead = NULL,
change ep_unregister_pollwait() to check pwq->whead != NULL under
rcu_read_lock() before remove_wait_queue(). We add the new helper,
ep_remove_wait_queue(), for this.
This works because sighand_cachep is SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU and because
->signalfd_wqh is initialized in sighand_ctor(), not in copy_sighand.
ep_unregister_pollwait()->remove_wait_queue() can play with already
freed and potentially reused ->sighand, but this is fine. This memory
must have the valid ->signalfd_wqh until rcu_read_unlock().

epoll: introduce POLLFREE to flush ->signalfd_wqh before kfree()
This patch is intentionally incomplete to simplify the review.
It ignores ep_unregister_pollwait() which plays with the same wqh.
See the next change.
epoll assumes that the EPOLL_CTL_ADD'ed file controls everything
f_op->poll() needs. In particular it assumes that the wait queue
can't go away until eventpoll_release(). This is not true in case
of signalfd, the task which does EPOLL_CTL_ADD uses its ->sighand
which is not connected to the file.
This patch adds the special event, POLLFREE, currently only for
epoll. It expects that init_poll_funcptr()'ed hook should do the
necessary cleanup. Perhaps it should be defined as EPOLLFREE in
eventpoll.
__cleanup_sighand() is changed to do wake_up_poll(POLLFREE) if
->signalfd_wqh is not empty, we add the new signalfd_cleanup()
helper.
ep_poll_callback(POLLFREE) simply does list_del_init(task_list).
This make this poll entry inconsistent, but we don't care. If you
share epoll fd which contains our sigfd with another process you
should blame yourself. signalfd is "really special". I simply do
not know how we can define the "right" semantics if it used with
epoll.
The main problem is, epoll calls signalfd_poll() once to establish
the connection with the wait queue, after that signalfd_poll(NULL)
returns the different/inconsistent results depending on who does
EPOLL_CTL_MOD/signalfd_read/etc. IOW: apart from sigmask, signalfd
has nothing to do with the file, it works with the current thread.
In short: this patch is the hack which tries to fix the symptoms.
It also assumes that nobody can take tasklist_lock under epoll
locks, this seems to be true.
Note:
- we do not have wake_up_all_poll() but wake_up_poll()
is fine, poll/epoll doesn't use WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE.
- signalfd_cleanup() uses POLLHUP along with POLLFREE,
we need a couple of simple changes in eventpoll.c to
make sure it can't be "lost".

mm: memcg: Correct unregistring of events attached to the same eventfd
There is an issue when memcg unregisters events that were attached to
the same eventfd:
- On the first call mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event() removes all
events attached to a given eventfd, and if there were no events left,
thresholds->primary would become NULL;
- Since there were several events registered, cgroups core will call
mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event() again, but now kernel will oops,
as the function doesn't expect that threshold->primary may be NULL.
That's a good question whether mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event()
should actually remove all events in one go, but nowadays it can't
do any better as cftype->unregister_event callback doesn't pass
any private event-associated cookie. So, let's fix the issue by
simply checking for threshold->primary.

netfilter: ctnetlink: fix soft lockup when netlink adds new entries (v2)
Marcell Zambo and Janos Farago noticed and reported that when
new conntrack entries are added via netlink and the conntrack table
gets full, soft lockup happens. This is because the nf_conntrack_lock
is held while nf_conntrack_alloc is called, which is in turn wants
to lock nf_conntrack_lock while evicting entries from the full table.
The patch fixes the soft lockup with limiting the holding of the
nf_conntrack_lock to the minimum, where it's absolutely required.
It required to extend (and thus change) nf_conntrack_hash_insert
so that it makes sure conntrack and ctnetlink do not add the same entry
twice to the conntrack table.

davinci_emac: Do not free all rx dma descriptors during init
This patch fixes a regression that was introduced by
commit
0a5f38467765ee15478db90d81e40c269c8dda20
davinci_emac: Add Carrier Link OK check in Davinci RX Handler
Said commit adds a check whether the carrier link is ok. If the link is
not ok, the skb is freed and no new dma descriptor added to the rx dma
channel. This causes trouble during initialization when the carrier
status has not yet been updated. If a lot of packets are received while
netif_carrier_ok returns false, all dma descriptors are freed and the
rx dma transfer is stopped.
The bug occurs when the board is connected to a network with lots of
traffic and the ifconfig down/up is done, e.g., when reconfiguring
the interface with DHCP.
The bug can be reproduced by flood pinging the davinci board while doing
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 up
on the board.
After that, the rx path stops working and the overrun value reported
by ifconfig is counting up.
This patch reverts commit
0a5f38467765ee15478db90d81e40c269c8dda20
and instead issues warnings only if cpdma_chan_submit returns -ENOMEM.

Restore direct_io / truncate locking API
With kernel 3.1, Christoph removed i_alloc_sem and replaced it with
calls (namely inode_dio_wait() and inode_dio_done()) which are
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() thus they cannot be used by non-GPL file systems and
further inode_dio_wait() was pushed from notify_change() into the file
system ->setattr() method but no non-GPL file system can make this call.
That means non-GPL file systems cannot exist any more unless they do not
use any VFS functionality related to reading/writing as far as I can
tell or at least as long as they want to implement direct i/o.
Both Linus and Al (and others) have said on LKML that this breakage of
the VFS API should not have happened and that the change was simply
missed as it was not documented in the change logs of the patches that
did those changes.
This patch changes the two function exports in question to be
EXPORT_SYMBOL() thus restoring the VFS API as it used to be - accessible
for all modules.
Christoph, who introduced the two functions and exported them GPL-only
is CC-ed on this patch to give him the opportunity to object to the
symbols being changed in this manner if he did indeed intend them to be
GPL-only and does not want them to become available to all modules.

This is from an old optimization from to reduce contention on the extent

successful dump registration, initialize the elfcore header and populate
PT_LOAD program headers with crash memory ranges. The elfcore header is
saved in the scratch area within the reserved memory. The scratch area starts
at the end of the memory reserved for saving RMR region contents. The
scratch area contains fadump crash info structure that contains magic number
for fadump validation and physical address where the eflcore header can be
found. This structure will also be used to pass some important crash info
data to the second kernel which will help second kernel to populate ELF core
header with correct data before it gets exported through /proc/vmcore. Since
the firmware preserves the entire partition memory at the time of crash the
contents of the scratch area will be preserved till second kernel boot.
Since the memory dump exported through /proc/vmcore is in ELF format similar
to kdump, it will help us to reuse the kdump infrastructure for dump capture
and filtering. Unlike phyp dump, userspace tool does not need to refer any
sysfs interface while reading /proc/vmcore.
NOTE: The current design implementation does not address a possibility of
introducing additional fields (in future) to this structure without affecting
