When unlocking, we always want to reach the slowpath with the lock's counter indicating it is unlocked. -- as returned by the asm fastpath call or by explicitly setting it. While doing so, at least in theory, we can optimize and allow faster lock stealing.

Just how the locking-end behaves, when unlocking, go ahead and obtain the proper data structure immediately after the previous (asm-end) call exits and there are (probably) pending waiters. This simplifies a bit some of the layering.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "This pull request has a lot of work done. The main thing is the changes to the ftrace function callback infrastructure. It's introducing a way to allow different functions to call directly different trampolines instead of all calling the same "mcount" one. The only user of this for now is the function graph tracer, which always had a different trampoline, but the function tracer trampoline was called and did basically nothing, and then the function graph tracer trampoline was called. The difference now, is that the function graph tracer trampoline can be called directly if a function is only being traced by the function graph trampoline. If function tracing is also happening on the same function, the old way is still done. The accounting for this takes up more memory when function graph tracing is activated, as it needs to keep track of which functions it uses. I have a new way that wont take as much memory, but it's not ready yet for this merge window, and will have to wait for the next one. Another big change was the removal of the ftrace_start/stop() calls that were used by the suspend/resume code that stopped function tracing when entering into suspend and resume paths. The stop of ftrace was done because there was some function that would crash the system if one called smp_processor_id()! The stop/start was a big hammer to solve the issue at the time, which was when ftrace was first introduced into Linux. Now ftrace has better infrastructure to debug such issues, and I found the problem function and labeled it with "notrace" and function tracing can now safely be activated all the way down into the guts of suspend and resume Other changes include clean ups of uprobe code, clean up of the trace_seq() code, and other various small fixes and clean ups to ftrace and tracing" * tag 'trace-3.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (57 commits) ftrace: Add warning if tramp hash does not match nr_trampolines ftrace: Fix trampoline hash update check on rec->flags ring-buffer: Use rb_page_size() instead of open coded head_page size ftrace: Rename ftrace_ops field from trampolines to nr_trampolines tracing: Convert local function_graph functions to static ftrace: Do not copy old hash when resetting tracing: let user specify tracing_thresh after selecting function_graph ring-buffer: Always run per-cpu ring buffer resize with schedule_work_on() tracing: Remove function_trace_stop and HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST s390/ftrace: remove check of obsolete variable function_trace_stop arm64, ftrace: Remove check of obsolete variable function_trace_stop Blackfin: ftrace: Remove check of obsolete variable function_trace_stop metag: ftrace: Remove check of obsolete variable function_trace_stop microblaze: ftrace: Remove check of obsolete variable function_trace_stop MIPS: ftrace: Remove check of obsolete variable function_trace_stop parisc: ftrace: Remove check of obsolete variable function_trace_stop sh: ftrace: Remove check of obsolete variable function_trace_stop sparc64,ftrace: Remove check of obsolete variable function_trace_stop tile: ftrace: Remove check of obsolete variable function_trace_stop ftrace: x86: Remove check of obsolete variable function_trace_stop ...

Pull config-bisect changes from Steven Rostedt: "The big change here is the rewrite of config-bisect. The old way never worked properly as it assumed the bad config was a subset of the good config, and just found the config that would break the build. The new way does a diff of the bad config verses the good config and makes the similar until it finds that one config works and the other does not and reports the config that makes that difference. The two configs do not need to be related.

Pull clock framework updates from Mike Turquette: "The clock framework changes for 3.17 are mostly additions of new clock drivers and fixes/enhancements to existing clock drivers. There are also some non-critical fixes and improvements to the framework core. Changes to the clock framework core include: - improvements to printks on errors - flattening the previously hierarchal structure of per-clock entries in debugfs - allow per-clock debugfs entries that are specific to a particular clock driver - configure initial clock parent and/or initial clock rate from Device Tree - several feature enhancements to the composite clock type - misc fixes New clock drivers added include: - TI Palmas PMIC - Allwinner A23 SoC - Qualcomm APQ8084 and IPQ8064 SoCs - Rockchip rk3188, rk3066 and rk3288 SoCs - STMicroelectronics STiH407 SoC - Cirrus Logic CLPS711X SoC Many fixes, feature enhancements and further clock tree support for existing clock drivers also were merged, such as Samsung's "ARMCLK down" power saving feature for their Exynos4 & Exynos5 SoCs" * tag 'clk-for-linus-3.17' of git://git.linaro.org/people/mike.turquette/linux: (86 commits) clk: Add missing of_clk_set_defaults export clk: checking wrong variable in __set_clk_parents() clk: Propagate any error return from debug_init() clk: clps711x: Add DT bindings documentation clk: Add CLPS711X clk driver clk: st: Use round to closest divider flag clk: st: Update frequency tables for fs660c32 and fs432c65 clk: st: STiH407: Support for clockgenA9 clk: st: STiH407: Support for clockgenD0/D2/D3 clk: st: STiH407: Support for clockgenC0 clk: st: Add quadfs reset handling clk: st: Add polarity bit indication clk: st: STiH407: Support for clockgenA0 clk: st: STiH407: Support for A9 MUX Clocks clk: st: STiH407: Support for Flexgen Clocks clk: st: Adds Flexgen clock binding clk: st: Remove uncessary (void *) cast clk: st: use static const for clkgen_pll_data tables clk: st: use static const for stm_fs tables clk: st: Update ST clock binding documentation ...

Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo: "Mostly changes to get the v2 interface ready. The core features are mostly ready now and I think it's reasonable to expect to drop the devel mask in one or two devel cycles at least for a subset of controllers. - cgroup added a controller dependency mechanism so that block cgroup can depend on memory cgroup. This will be used to finally support IO provisioning on the writeback traffic, which is currently being implemented. - The v2 interface now uses a separate table so that the interface files for the new interface are explicitly declared in one place. Each controller will explicitly review and add the files for the new interface. - cpuset is getting ready for the hierarchical behavior which is in the similar style with other controllers so that an ancestor's configuration change doesn't change the descendants' configurations irreversibly and processes aren't silently migrated when a CPU or node goes down.
