      blk-mq: add BLK_MQ_F_DEFER_ISSUE support flag · e167dfb5
      Jens Axboe authored
      Drivers can now tell blk-mq if they take advantage of the deferred
      issue through 'last' or not. If they do, don't do queue-direct
      for sync IO. This is a preparation patch for the nvme conversion.

      blk-mq: add a 'list' parameter to ->queue_rq() · 74c45052
      Jens Axboe authored
      Since we have the notion of a 'last' request in a chain, we can use
      this to have the hardware optimize the issuing of requests. Add
      a list_head parameter to queue_rq that the driver can use to
      temporarily store hw commands for issue when 'last' is true. If we
      are doing a chain of requests, pass in a NULL list for the first
      request to force issue of that immediately, then batch the remainder
      for deferred issue until the last request has been sent.
      
      Instead of adding yet another argument to the hot ->queue_rq path,
      encapsulate the passed arguments in a blk_mq_queue_data structure.
      This is passed as a constant, and has been tested as faster than
      passing 4 (or even 3) args through ->queue_rq. Update drivers for
      the new ->queue_rq() prototype. There are no functional changes
      in this patch for drivers - if they don't use the passed in list,
      then they will just queue requests individually like before.

      block: remove artifical max_hw_sectors cap · 34b48db6
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      Set max_sectors to the value the drivers provides as hardware limit by
      default.  Linux had proper I/O throttling for a long time and doesn't
      rely on a artifically small maximum I/O size anymore.  By not limiting
      the I/O size by default we remove an annoying tuning step required for
      most Linux installation.
      
      Note that both the user, and if absolutely required the driver can still
      impose a limit for FS requests below max_hw_sectors_kb.

      Pull audit updates from Eric Paris:
       "So this change across a whole bunch of arches really solves one basic
        problem.  We want to audit when seccomp is killing a process.  seccomp
        hooks in before the audit syscall entry code.  audit_syscall_entry
        took as an argument the arch of the given syscall.  Since the arch is
        part of what makes a syscall number meaningful it's an important part
        of the record, but it isn't available when seccomp shoots the
        syscall...
      
        For most arch's we have a better way to get the arch (syscall_get_arch)
        So the solution was two fold: Implement syscall_get_arch() everywhere
        there is audit which didn't have it.  Use syscall_get_arch() in the
        seccomp audit code.  Having syscall_get_arch() everywhere meant it was
        a useless flag on the stack and we could get rid of it for the typical
        syscall entry.
      
        The other changes inside the audit system aren't grand, fixed some
        records that had invalid spaces.  Better locking around the task comm
        field.  Removing some dead functions and structs.  Make some things
        static.  Really minor stuff"

           events left in the queue pointing to the ring buffer be rewritten
           in high volume sessions.  (Alexander Yarygin, improving work done
           by David Ahern):
      
         - Do not include a struct hists per perf_evsel, untangling the
           histogram code from perf_evsel, to pave the way for exporting a
           minimalistic tools/lib/api/perf/ library usable by tools/perf and
           initially by the rasd daemon being developed by Borislav Petkov,
           Robert Richter and Jean Pihet.  (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
         - Make perf_evlist__open(evlist, NULL, NULL), i.e. without cpu and
           thread maps mean syswide monitoring, reducing the boilerplate for
           tools that only want system wide mode.  (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
         - Move exit stuff from perf_evsel__delete to perf_evsel__exit, delete
           should be just a front end for exit + free (Arnaldo Carvalho de
           Melo)
      
         - Add support to new style format of kernel PMU event.  (Kan Liang)

       "Here we have two bug fixes:
      
        1) The current thread's fault_code is not setup properly upon entry to
           do_sparc64_fault() in some paths, leading to spurious SIGBUS.
      
        2) Don't use a zero length array at the end of thread_info on sparc64,
           otherwise end_of_stack() isn't right"

      Net: DSA: Fix checking for get_phy_flags function · 228b16cb
      Andrew Lunn authored
      The check for the presence or not of the optional switch function
      get_phy_flags() called the function, rather than checked to see if it
      is a NULL pointer. This causes a derefernce of a NULL pointer on all
      switch chips except the sf2, the only switch to implement this call.
