pci/of: Match PCI devices to OF nodes dynamically

powerpc has two different ways of matching PCI devices to their
corresponding OF node (if any) for historical reasons. The ppc64 one
does a scan looking for matching bus/dev/fn, while the ppc32 one does a
scan looking only for matching dev/fn on each level in order to be
agnostic to busses being renumbered (which Linux does on some
platforms).

This removes both and instead moves the matching code to the PCI core
itself. It's the most logical place to do it: when a pci_dev is created,
we know the parent and thus can do a single level scan for the matching
device_node (if any).

The benefit is that all archs now get the matching for free. There's one
hook the arch might want to provide to match a PHB bus to its device
node. A default weak implementation is provided that looks for the
parent device device node, but it's not entirely reliable on powerpc for
various reasons so powerpc provides its own.

Revert "mm: fail GFP_DMA allocations when ZONE_DMA is not configured"

This reverts commit a197b59ae6e8bee56fcef37ea2482dc08414e2ac.

As rmk says:
 "Commit a197b59ae6e8 (mm: fail GFP_DMA allocations when ZONE_DMA is not
  configured) is causing regressions on ARM with various drivers which
  use GFP_DMA.

  The behaviour up until now has been to silently ignore that flag when
  CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is not enabled, and to allocate from the normal zone.
  However, as a result of the above commit, such allocations now fail
  which causes drivers to fail.  These are regressions compared to the
  previous kernel version."

so just revert it.

Mike Travis and Mike Habeck reported an issue where iova allocation
would return a range that was larger than a device's dma mask.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/29/423

The dmar initialization code will reserve all PCI MMIO regions and copy
those reservations into a domain specific iova tree.  It is possible for
one of those regions to be above the dma mask of a device.  It is typical
to allocate iovas with a 32bit mask (despite device's dma mask possibly
being larger) and cache the result until it exhausts the lower 32bit
address space.  Freeing the iova range that is >= the last iova in the
lower 32bit range when there is still an iova above the 32bit range will
corrupt the cached iova by pointing it to a region that is above 32bit.
If that region is also larger than the device's dma mask, a subsequent
allocation will return an unusable iova and cause dma failure.

Simply don't cache an iova that is above the 32bit caching boundary.

intel-iommu: Enable super page (2MiB, 1GiB, etc.) support

There are no externally-visible changes with this. In the loop in the
internal __domain_mapping() function, we simply detect if we are mapping:
  - size >= 2MiB, and
  - virtual address aligned to 2MiB, and
  - physical address aligned to 2MiB, and
  - on hardware that supports superpages.

(and likewise for larger superpages).

We automatically use a superpage for such mappings. We never have to
worry about *breaking* superpages, since we trust that we will always
*unmap* the same range that was mapped. So all we need to do is ensure
that dma_pte_clear_range() will also cope with superpages.

Adjust pfn_to_dma_pte() to take a superpage 'level' as an argument, so
it can return a PTE at the appropriate level rather than always
extending the page tables all the way down to level 1. Again, this is
simplified by the fact that we should never encounter existing small
pages when we're creating a mapping; any old mapping that used the same
virtual range will have been entirely removed and its obsolete page
tables freed.

Provide an 'intel_iommu=sp_off' argument on the command line as a
chicken bit. Not that it should ever be required.

==

The original commit seen in the iommu-2.6.git was Youquan's
implementation (and completion) of my own half-baked code which I'd
typed into an email. Followed by half a dozen subsequent 'fixes'.

I've taken the unusual step of rewriting history and collapsing the
original commits in order to keep the main history simpler, and make
life easier for the people who are going to have to backport this to
older kernels. And also so I can give it a more coherent commit comment
which (hopefully) gives a better explanation of what's going on.

The original sequence of commits leading to identical code was:

rcu: Cure load woes

Commit cc3ce5176d83 (rcu: Start RCU kthreads in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE
state) fudges a sleeping task' state, resulting in the scheduler seeing
a TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE task going to sleep, but a TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE
task waking up. The result is unbalanced load calculation.

The problem that patch tried to address is that the RCU threads could
stay in UNINTERRUPTIBLE state for quite a while and triggering the hung
task detector due to on-demand wake-ups.

Cure the problem differently by always giving the tasks at least one
wake-up once the CPU is fully up and running, this will kick them out of
the initial UNINTERRUPTIBLE state and into the regular INTERRUPTIBLE
wait state.

[ The alternative would be teaching kthread_create() to start threads as
  INTERRUPTIBLE but that needs a tad more thought. ]

The virtio balloon driver has a VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_MUST_TELL_HOST
feature bit.  Whenever the bit is set, the guest kernel must
always tell the host before we free pages back to the allocator.
Without this feature, we might free a page (and have another
user touch it) while the hypervisor is unprepared for it.

But, if the bit is _not_ set, we are under no obligation to
reverse the order; we're under no obligation to do _anything_.
As of now, qemu-kvm defines the bit, but doesn't set it.

This patch makes the "tell host first" logic the only case.  This
should make everybody happy, and reduce the amount of untested or
untestable code in the kernel.

This _also_ means that we don't have to preserve a pfn list
after the pages are freed, which should let us get rid of some

mm: Fix boot crash in mm_alloc()

Thomas Gleixner reports that we now have a boot crash triggered by
CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y:

    BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at   (null)

which was introduced by commit de03c72cfce5 ("mm: convert
mm->cpu_vm_cpumask into cpumask_var_t"), and is due to wrong ordering of
mm_init() vs mm_init_cpumask

Thomas wrote a patch to just fix the ordering of initialization, but I
hate the new double allocation in the fork path, so I ended up instead
doing some more radical surgery to clean it all up.

pnfs: client stats

A pNFS client auto-negotiates a lot of features (minorversion level,
pNFS layout type, etc.).  This is convenient, but makes certain kinds of
failures hard for a user to detect.

For example, if the client falls back on 4.0, or falls back to MDS IO
because the user didn't connect to the right iscsi disks before
mounting, the only symptoms may be reduced performance, which may not be
noticed till long after the actual failure, and may be difficult for a
user to diagnose.

However, such "failures" may also be perfectly normal in some cases, so
we don't want to spam the system logs with them.

One approach would be to put some more information into
