      Pull RCU changes from Ingo Molnar:
       "This is the v3.5 RCU tree from Paul E.  McKenney:
      
       1) A set of improvements and fixes to the RCU_FAST_NO_HZ feature (with
          more on the way for 3.6).  Posted to LKML:
             https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/23/324 (commits 1-3 and 5),
             https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/16/611 (commit 4),
             https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/30/390 (commit 6), and
             https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/4/410 (commit 7, combined with
             the other commits for the convenience of the tester).
      
       2) Changes to make rcu_barrier() avoid disrupting execution of CPUs
          that have no RCU callbacks.  Posted to LKML:
             https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/23/322.
      
       3) A couple of commits that improve the efficiency of the interaction
          between preemptible RCU and the scheduler, these two being all that
          survived an abortive attempt to allow preemptible RCU's
          __rcu_read_lock() to be inlined.  The full set was posted to LKML at
          https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/14/143, and the first and third patches
          of that set remain.
      
       4) Lai Jiangshan's algorithmic implementation of SRCU, which includes
          call_srcu() and srcu_barrier().  A major feature of this new
          implementation is that synchronize_srcu() no longer disturbs the
          execution of other CPUs.  This work is based on earlier
          implementations by Peter Zijlstra and Paul E.  McKenney.  Posted to
          LKML: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/22/82.
      
       5) A number of miscellaneous bug fixes and improvements which were
          posted to LKML at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/23/353 with
          subsequent updates posted to LKML."

      Revert "vfs: remove unnecessary d_unhashed() check from __d_lookup_rcu" · 2e321806
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This reverts commit 8c01a529.
      
      It turns out the d_unhashed() check isn't unnecessary after all: while
      it's true that unhashing will increment the sequence numbers, that does
      not necessarily invalidate the RCU lookup, because it might have seen
      the dentry pointer (before it got unhashed), but by the time it loaded
      the sequence number, it could have seen the *new* sequence number (after
      it got unhashed).
      
      End result: we might look up an unhashed dentry that is about to be
      freed, with the sequence number never indicating anything bad about it.
      So checking that the dentry is still hashed (*after* reading the sequence
      number) is indeed the proper fix, and was never unnecessary.

        This fabric uses the target framework to provide a usb gadget device.
        This gadget supports the USB Attached SCSI Protocol (UASP) and Bulk
        Only Transfers (BOT or BBB).  BOT is the primary interface, UAS is the
        alternative interface.
      
        Note this series is dependent upon a single target core patch for
        adding se_cmd->unknown_data_length in target-pending/for-next, that
        got merged in the parent.
      
        Kudos to Sebastian for making this driver happen so easily, and for
        his patches to improve usb-core and target core along the way to his
        goal.  Also thanks to Felipe + Greg-KH for their help in getting this

        across IEEE-1394 Firewire hardware.  This will be going out as a
        separate PULL request from target-pending/sbp-target-merge with two
        additional drivers/firewire/ patches w/ subsystem maintainer ACKs.
      
         * qla2xxx LLD target mode infrastructure changes + tcm_qla2xxx:
      
        The Qlogic >= 24xx series HW target mode LLD infrastructure patch-set
        and tcm_qla2xxx fabric driver.  Support for FC target mode using
        qla2xxx LLD code has been officially submitted by Qlogic to James
        below, and is currently outstanding but not yet merged into
        scsi.git/for-next..

          http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg59350.html
      
        Note there are *zero* direct dependencies upon this for-next series
        for the qla2xxx LLD target + tcm_qla2xxx patches submitted above, and
        over the last days the target mode team has been tracking down an

      Pull regmap updates from Mark Brown:
       "A surprisingly large series of updates for regmap this time, mostly
        due to all the work Stephen Warren has done to add support for MMIO
        buses.  This wasn't really the target for the framework but it turns
        out that there's a reasonable number of cases where it's very helpful
        to use the register cache support to allow the register map to remain
        available while the device is suspended.
      
        - A MMIO bus implementation, contributed by Stephen Warren.  Currently
          this is limited to 32 bit systems and native endian registers.
        - Support for naming register maps, mainly intended for MMIO devices
          with multiple register banks.  This was also contributed by Stephen
          Warren.
        - Support for register striding, again contributed by Stephen Warren
          and mainly intended for use with MMIO as typically the registers
          will be a fixed size but byte addressed.
        - irqdomain support for the generic regmap irq_chip, including support
          for dynamically allocate interrupt numbers.
        - A function dev_get_regmap() which allows frameworks using regmap to
          obtain the regmap for a device from the struct device, making life a
          little simpler for them.
        - Updates to regmap-irq to support more chips (contributed by Graeme
          Gregory) and to use irqdomains.
        - Support for devices with 24 bit register addresses.
      
        The striding support collided with all the topic branches so the
        branches look a bit messy and eventually I just gave up.  There's also
        the TI Palmas driver and a couple of other isolated MFD patches that

      vfs: be even more careful about dentry RCU name lookups · 6326c71f
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Miklos Szeredi points out that we need to also worry about memory
      odering when doing the dentry name comparison asynchronously with RCU.
      
      In particular, doing a rename can do a memcpy() of one dentry name over
      another, and we want to make sure that any unlocked reader will always
      see the proper terminating NUL character, so that it won't ever run off
      the allocation.
      
      Rather than having to be extra careful with the name copy or at lookup
      time for each character, this resolves the issue by making sure that all
      names that are inlined in the dentry always have a NUL character at the
      end of the name allocation.  If we do that at dentry allocation time, we
      know that no future name copy will ever change that final NUL to
      anything else, so there are no memory ordering issues.
      
      So even if a concurrent rename ends up overwriting the NUL character
      that terminates the original name, we always know that there is one
      final NUL at the end, and there is no worry about the lockless RCU
      lookup traversing the name too far.
      
      The out-of-line allocations are never copied over, so we can just make
      sure that we write the name (with terminating NULL) and do a write
      barrier before we expose the name to anything else by setting it in the
      dentry.

      vfs: make AIO use the proper rw_verify_area() area helpers · a70b52ec
      Linus Torvalds authored
      We had for some reason overlooked the AIO interface, and it didn't use
      the proper rw_verify_area() helper function that checks (for example)
      mandatory locking on the file, and that the size of the access doesn't
      cause us to overflow the provided offset limits etc.
      
      Instead, AIO did just the security_file_permission() thing (that
      rw_verify_area() also does) directly.
      
      This fixes it to do all the proper helper functions, which not only
      means that now mandatory file locking works with AIO too, we can
      actually remove lines of code.

      Fix blocking allocations called very early during bootup · 31a67102
      Linus Torvalds authored
      During early boot, when the scheduler hasn't really been fully set up,
      we really can't do blocking allocations because with certain (dubious)
      configurations the "might_resched()" calls can actually result in
      scheduling events.
      
      We could just make such users always use GFP_ATOMIC, but quite often the
      code that does the allocation isn't really aware of the fact that the
      scheduler isn't up yet, and forcing that kind of random knowledge on the
      initialization code is just annoying and not good for anybody.
      
      And we actually have a the 'gfp_allowed_mask' exactly for this reason:
      it's just that the kernel init sequence happens to set it to allow
      blocking allocations much too early.
      
      So move the 'gfp_allowed_mask' initialization from 'start_kernel()'
      (which is some of the earliest init code, and runs with preemption
      disabled for good reasons) into 'kernel_init()'.  kernel_init() is run
      in the newly created thread that will become the 'init' process, as
      opposed to the early startup code that runs within the context of what
      will be the first idle thread.
      
      So by the time we reach 'kernel_init()', we know that the scheduler must
      be at least limping along, because we've already scheduled from the idle
      thread into the init thread.

      net: drop NET dependency from HAVE_BPF_JIT · e47b65b0
      Sam Ravnborg authored
      There is no point having the NET dependency on the select target, as it
      forces all users to depend on NET to tell they support BPF_JIT.  Move
      the config option to the bottom of the file - this could be a nice place
      also for future "selectable" config symbols.
      
      Fix up all users to drop the dependency on NET now that it is not
      required to supress warnings for non-NET builds.

      1) Kill off support for sun4c and Cypress sun4m chips.
      
         And as a result we were able to also kill off that ugly btfixup thing
         that required multi-stage links of the final vmlinux image in the
         Kbuild system.  This should make the kbuild maintainers really happy.
      
         Thanks a lot to Sam Ravnborg for his tireless efforts to get this
         going.
      
      2) Convert sparc64 to nobootmem.  I suspect now with sparc32 being a lot
         cleaner, it should be able to fall in line and modernize in this area
         too.

      [ I fixed up the BPF rules, and tried to clean up the build rules too.
        But I don't have - or want - a sparc cross-build environment, so the

      Pull networking changes from David Miller:
      
       1) Get rid of the error prone NLA_PUT*() macros that used an embedded
          goto.
      
       2) Kill off the token-ring and MCA networking drivers, from Paul
          Gortmaker.
      
       3) Reduce high-order allocations made by datagram AF_UNIX sockets, from
          Eric Dumazet.
      
       4) Add PTP hardware clock support to IGB and IXGBE, from Richard
          Cochran and Jacob Keller.
      
       5) Allow users to query timestamping capabilities of a card via
          ethtool, from Richard Cochran.
      
       6) Add loadbalance mode to the teaming driver, from Jiri Pirko.  Part
          of this is that we can now have BPF filters not attached to sockets,
          and the loadbalancing function is calculated using one.
      
       7) Francois Romieu went through the network drivers removing gratuitous
          uses of netdev->base_addr, perhaps some day we can remove it
          completely but it's used for ISA probing still.
      
       8) Add a BPF JIT for sparc.  I know, who cares, right? :-)
      
       9) Move networking sysctl registry away from using the compatability
          mode interfaces in the sysctl code.  From Eric W Biederman.
      
      10) Pavel Emelyanov added a way to save and restore TCP socket state via
          TCP_REPAIR, TCP_REPAIR_QUEUE, and TCP_QUEUE_SEQ socket options as
          well as a way to forcefully bind a socket to a port via the
          sk->sk_reuse value SK_FORCE_REUSE.  There is also a
          TCP_REPAIR_OPTIONS which allows to reinstante the TCP options
          enabled on the connection.
      
      11) Several enhancements from Eric Dumazet that, in particular, can
          enhance splice performance on TCP sockets significantly.
      
           a) Reset the offset of the per-socket sendmsg page when we know
              we're the only use of the page in linear_to_page().
      
           b) Add facilities such that skb->data can be backed a page rather
              than SLAB kmalloc'd memory.  In particular devices which were
              receiving into linear RX buffers can now end up providing paged
              data.
      
          The big result is that code like splice and GRO do not have to copy
          any more.
      
      12) Allow a pure sender to more gracefully handle ACK backlogs in TCP.
          What can happen at high rates is that the sender hasn't grown his
          receive buffer limits at all (he's not receiving data so really
          doesn't need to), but the non-data ACKs consume receive buffer
          space.
      
          sk_add_backlog() is too aggressive in dropping frames in this case,
          so relax it's requirements by using the receive buffer plus the send
          buffer limit as the backlog limit instead of just the former.
      
          Also from Eric Dumazet.
      
      13) Add ipv6 support to L2TP, from Benjamin LaHaise, James Chapman, and
          Chris Elston.
      
      14) Implement TCP early retransmit (RFC 5827), from Yuchung Cheng.
          Basically, we can start fast retransmit before hiting the dupack
          threshold under certain conditions.
      
      15) New CODEL active queue management packet scheduler, from Eric
          Dumazet based upon initial work by Dave Taht.
      
          Basically, the big feature is that packets are dropped (or ECN bits
          are set) based upon how long packets live in the queue, rather than
          the queue length (which is what RED uses).

      This teaches vfs_fstat() to use the appropriate f[get|put]_light

      More noticeably, it also cleans up and simplifies the "getname_flags()"

      all the user access checks properly, instead of hacking around the fact
      that on x86 it didn't use to do it right (see commit 92ae03f2: "x86:

      This makes cp_new_stat() a bit more readable, and avoids having to

      This is another result of me looking at code generation of functions

      isci update for 3.5
      
      1/ Rework remote-node-context (RNC) handling for proper management of
         the silicon state machine in error handling and hot-plug conditions.
         Further details below, suffice to say if the RNC is mismanaged the
         silicon state machines may lock up.
      
      2/ Refactor the initialization code to be reused for suspend/resume support
      
      3/ Miscellaneous bug fixes to address discovery issues and hardware
         compatibility.
      
      RNC rework details from Jeff Skirvin:
      
      In the controller, devices as they appear on a SAS domain (or
      direct-attached SATA devices) are represented by memory structures known
      as "Remote Node Contexts" (RNCs).  These structures are transferred from
      main memory to the controller using a set of register commands; these
      commands include setting up the context ("posting"), removing the
      context ("invalidating"), and commands to control the scheduling of
      commands and connections to that remote device ("suspensions" and
      "resumptions").  There is a similar path to control RNC scheduling from
      the protocol engine, which interprets the results of command and data
      transmission and reception.
      
      In general, the controller chooses among non-suspended RNCs to find one
      that has work requiring scheduling the transmission of command and data
      frames to a target.  Likewise, when a target tries to return data back
      to the initiator, the state of the RNC is used by the controller to
      determine how to treat the incoming request. As an example, if the RNC
      is in the state "TX/RX Suspended", incoming SSP connection requests from
      the target will be rejected by the controller hardware.  When an RNC is
      "TX Suspended", it will not be selected by the controller hardware to
      start outgoing command or data operations (with certain priority-based
      exceptions).
      
      As mentioned above, there are two sources for management of the RNC
      states: commands from driver software, and the result of transmission
      and reception conditions of commands and data signaled by the controller
      hardware.  As an example of the latter, if an outgoing SSP command ends
      with a OPEN_REJECT(BAD_DESTINATION) status, the RNC state will
      transition to the "TX Suspended" state, and this is signaled by the
      controller hardware in the status to the completion of the pending
      command as well as signaled in a controller hardware event.  Examples of
      the former are included in the patch changelogs.
      
      Driver software is required to suspend the RNC in a "TX/RX Suspended"
      condition before any outstanding commands can be terminated.  Failure to
      guarantee this can lead to a complete hardware hang condition.  Earlier
      versions of the driver software did not guarantee that an RNC was
      correctly managed before I/O termination, and so operated in an unsafe
      way.
      
      Further, the driver performed unnecessary contortions to preserve the
      remote device command state and so was more complicated than it needed
      to be.  A simplifying driver assumption is that once an I/O has entered
      the error handler path without having completed in the target, the
      requirement on the driver is that all use of the sas_task must end.
      Beyond that, recovery of operation is dependent on libsas and other
      components to reset, rediscover and reconfigure the device before normal
      operation can restart.  In the driver, this simplifying assumption meant
      that the RNC management could be reduced to entry into the suspended
      state, terminating the targeted I/O request, and resuming the RNC as
      needed for device-specific management such as an SSP Abort Task or LUN
      Reset Management request.
