This is the ARM part of Christoph's patchset cleaning up the various
uses of __get_cpu_var across the tree.

The idea is to convert __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations
that use the offset. Thereby address calculations are avoided and fewer
registers are used when code is generated.

The memory pinning code in uaccess_with_memcpy.c does not check
for HugeTLB or THP pmds, and will enter an infinite loop should
a __copy_to_user or __clear_user occur against a huge page.

This patch adds detection code for huge pages to pin_page_for_write.
As this code can be executed in a fast path it refers to the actual
pmds rather than the vma. If a HugeTLB or THP is found (they have
the same pmd representation on ARM), the page table spinlock is
taken to prevent modification whilst the page is pinned.

On ARM, huge pages are only represented as pmds, thus no huge pud
checks are performed. (For huge puds one would lock the page table
in a similar manner as in the pmd case).

Two helper functions are introduced; pmd_thp_or_huge will check
whether or not a page is huge or transparent huge (which have the
same pmd layout on ARM), and pmd_hugewillfault will detect whether
or not a page fault will occur on write to the page.

Running the following test (with the chunking from read_zero
removed):
 $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=10M count=1024
Gave:  2.3 GB/s backed by normal pages,
       2.9 GB/s backed by huge pages,
       5.1 GB/s backed by huge pages, with page mask=HPAGE_MASK.

After some discussion, it was decided not to adopt the HPAGE_MASK,
as this would have a significant detrimental effect on the overall
system latency due to page_table_lock being held for too long.
This could be revisited if split huge page locks are adopted.

Third set of IIO fixes for the 3.12 cycle.

Two little ones this time:

1) A missing clk_unprepare in adf4350.
2) A missing free of the active_scan_mask when iio_disable_all_buffers is
called during an unexpected device removal.  This leak was introduced by
the fix
a87c82e4 iio: Stop sampling when the device is removed
and hence is a regression fix.

Commit 3fa4d734 (usb: phy: rename nop_usb_xceiv => usb_phy_gen_xceiv)
changed the conditional around the declaration of usb_nop_xceiv_register
from
	#if defined(CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV) ||
		(defined(CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV_MODULE) && defined(MODULE))
to
	#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV)

While that looks the same, it is semantically different. The first expression
is true if CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV is built as module and if the including
code is built as module. The second expression is true if code depending on
CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV if built as module or into the kernel.

As a result, the arm:allmodconfig build fails with

arch/arm/mach-omap2/built-in.o: In function `omap3_evm_init':
arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-omap3evm.c:703: undefined reference to

Previously, we wanted SCSI devices corrsponding to ATA devices to
be runtime resumed when the power resource for those ATA device was
turned on by some other device, so we added the SCSI device to the
dependent device list of the ATA device's ACPI node.  However, this
code has no effect after commit 41863fce (ACPI / power: Drop automaitc
resume of power resource dependent devices) and the mechanism it was
supposed to implement is regarded as a bad idea now, so drop it.

The original code was correct: pud_alloc(), pmd_alloc(), pte_alloc_map()

need to allocate; on failure, upper levels are freed if appropriate by
the subsequent do_munmap().  Whereas commit 1ecfd533 did an
unconditional pud_free() of a most-likely still-in-use pud: saved only
by the near-impossiblity of pmd_alloc() failing.

Fix race between swapoff and swapon.  Swapoff used old_block_size from
swap_info outside of swapon_mutex so it could be overwritten by
concurrent swapon.

The race has visible effect only if more than one swap block device
exists with different block sizes (e.g.  /dev/sda1 with block size 4096
and /dev/sdb1 with 512).  In such case it leads to setting the blocksize
of swapped off device with wrong blocksize.

The bug can be triggered with multiple concurrent swapoff and swapon:
0. Swap for some device is on.
1. swapoff:
First the swapoff is called on this device and "struct swap_info_struct
*p" is assigned. This is done under swap_lock however this lock is
released for the call try_to_unuse().

2. swapon:
After the assignment above (and before acquiring swapon_mutex &
swap_lock by swapoff) the swapon is called on the same device.
The p->old_block_size is assigned to the value of block_size the device.
This block size should be the same as previous but sometimes it is not.
The swapon ends successfully.

3. swapoff:
Swapoff resumes, grabs the locks and mutex and continues to disable this
swap device. Now it sets the block size to value taken from swap_info
which was overwritten by swapon in 2.

Toralf runs trinity on UML/i386.  After some time it hangs and the last

	BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s! [trinity-child0:1521]

It's found that pages_dirtied becomes very large.  More than 1000000000

	BUG_ON(pages_dirtied > 2000000000);

UML debug printf shows that we got negative pause here:

	        trace_balance_dirty_pages(bdi,

Since pause is bounded by [min_pause, max_pause] where min_pause is also
bounded by max_pause.  It's suspected and demonstrated that the
max_pause calculation goes wrong:

	ick: pause : -717
	ick: min_pause : -177
	ick: max_pause : -717
	ick: pages_dirtied : 14
	ick: task_ratelimit: 0

The problem lies in the two "long = unsigned long" assignments in
bdi_max_pause() which might go negative if the highest bit is 1, and the
min_t(long, ...) check failed to protect it falling under 0.  Fix all of
them by using "unsigned long" throughout the function.

Buffer allocation has a very crude indefinite loop around waking the
flusher threads and performing global NOFS direct reclaim because it can
not handle allocation failures.

The most immediate problem with this is that the allocation may fail due
to a memory cgroup limit, where flushers + direct reclaim might not make
any progress towards resolving the situation at all.  Because unlike the
global case, a memory cgroup may not have any cache at all, only
anonymous pages but no swap.  This situation will lead to a reclaim
livelock with insane IO from waking the flushers and thrashing unrelated
filesystem cache in a tight loop.

Use __GFP_NOFAIL allocations for buffers for now.  This makes sure that
any looping happens in the page allocator, which knows how to
orchestrate kswapd, direct reclaim, and the flushers sensibly.  It also
allows memory cgroups to detect allocations that can't handle failure
and will allow them to ultimately bypass the limit if reclaim can not
make progress.
