As suggested by Davidlohr, we could refactor mutex_spin_on_owner().

Currently, we split up owner_running() with mutex_spin_on_owner().
When the owner changes, we make duplicate owner checks which are not
necessary. It also makes the code a bit obscure as we are using a
second check to figure out why we broke out of the loop.

This patch modifies it such that we remove the owner_running() function
and the mutex_spin_on_owner() loop directly checks for if the owner changes,
if the owner is not running, or if we need to reschedule. If the owner
changes, we break out of the loop and return true. If the owner is not
running or if we need to reschedule, then break out of the loop and return
false.

In the mutex_spin_on_owner(), we return true only if lock->owner == NULL.
This was beneficial in situations where there were multiple threads
simultaneously spinning for the mutex. If another thread got the lock
while other spinner(s) were also doing mutex_spin_on_owner(), then the
other spinners would stop spinning. This workaround helped reduce the
chance that many spinners were simultaneously spinning for the mutex
which can help reduce contention in highly contended cases.

However, recent changes were made to the optimistic spinning code such
that instead of having all spinners simultaneously spin for the mutex,
we queue the spinners with an MCS lock such that only one thread spins
for the mutex at a time. Furthermore, the OSQ optimizations ensure that
spinners in the queue will stop waiting if it needs to reschedule.

Now, we don't have to worry about multiple threads spinning on owner
at the same time, and if lock->owner is not NULL at this point, it likely
means another thread happens to obtain the lock in the fastpath. In this
case, it would make sense for the spinner to continue spinning as long
as the spinner doesn't need to schedule and the mutex owner is running.

This patch changes this so that mutex_spin_on_owner() returns true when
the lock owner changes, which means a thread will only stop spinning
if it either needs to reschedule or if the lock owner is not running.

We saw up to a 5% performance improvement in the fserver workload with
this patch.

Paravirt spinlock clears slowpath flag after doing unlock.
As explained by Linus currently it does:

                prev = *lock;
                add_smp(&lock->tickets.head, TICKET_LOCK_INC);

                /* add_smp() is a full mb() */

                if (unlikely(lock->tickets.tail & TICKET_SLOWPATH_FLAG))
                        __ticket_unlock_slowpath(lock, prev);

which is *exactly* the kind of things you cannot do with spinlocks,
because after you've done the "add_smp()" and released the spinlock
for the fast-path, you can't access the spinlock any more.  Exactly
because a fast-path lock might come in, and release the whole data
structure.

Linus suggested that we should not do any writes to lock after unlock(),
and we can move slowpath clearing to fastpath lock.

So this patch implements the fix with:

 1. Moving slowpath flag to head (Oleg):
    Unlocked locks don't care about the slowpath flag; therefore we can keep
    it set after the last unlock, and clear it again on the first (try)lock.
    -- this removes the write after unlock. note that keeping slowpath flag would
    result in unnecessary kicks.
    By moving the slowpath flag from the tail to the head ticket we also avoid
    the need to access both the head and tail tickets on unlock.

 2. use xadd to avoid read/write after unlock that checks the need for
    unlock_kick (Linus):
    We further avoid the need for a read-after-release by using xadd;
    the prev head value will include the slowpath flag and indicate if we
    need to do PV kicking of suspended spinners -- on modern chips xadd
    isn't (much) more expensive than an add + load.

With task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() returning early -EDEADLK we never
add the waiter to the waitqueue. Later, we try to remove it via
remove_waiter() and go boom in rt_mutex_top_waiter() because
rb_entry() gives a NULL pointer.

( Tested on v3.18-RT where rtmutex is used for regular mutex and I
  tried to get one twice in a row. )

Not sure when this started but I guess 397335f0 ("rtmutex: Fix
deadlock detector for real") or commit 3d5c9340 ("rtmutex:
Handle deadlock detection smarter").

There was a bad typo in commit 43759d4f ("random: use an improved
fast_mix() function") and I didn't notice because it "looked right", so
I saw what I expected to see when I reviewed it.

Only months later did I look and notice it's not the Threefish-inspired
mix function that I had designed and optimized.

Mea Culpa.  Each input bit still has a chance to affect each output bit,
and the fast pool is spilled *long* before it fills, so it's not a total
disaster, but it's definitely not the intended great improvement.

I'm still working on finding better rotation constants.  These are good
enough, but since it's unrolled twice, it's possible to get better
mixing for free by using eight different constants rather than repeating
the same four.

Pull ftrace fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "During testing Sedat Dilek hit a "suspicious RCU usage" splat that
  pointed out a real bug.  During suspend and resume the tlb_flush
  tracepoint is called when the CPU is going offline.  As the CPU has
  been noted as offline, RCU is ignoring that CPU, which means that it
  can not use RCU protected locks.  When tracepoints are activated, they
  require RCU locking, and if RCU is ignoring a CPU that runs a
  tracepoint, there is a chance that the tracepoint could cause
  corruption.

  The solution was to change the tracepoint into a
  TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION() which allows us to check a condition to
  determine if the tracepoint should be called or not.  If the condition
  is not met, the rcu protected code will not be executed.  By adding
  the condition "cpu_online(smp_processor_id())", this will prevent the
  RCU protected code from being executed if the CPU is marked offline.

  After adding this, another bug was discovered.  As RCU checks rcu
  callers, if a rcu call is not done, there is no check (obviously).  We
  found that tracepoints could be added in RCU ignored locations and not
  have lockdep complain until the tracepoint is activated.  This missed
  places where tracepoints were added in places they should not have
  been.  To fix this, code was added in 3.18 that if lockdep is enabled,
  any tracepoint will still call the rcu checks even if the tracepoint
  is not enabled.  The bug here, is that the check does not take the
  CONDITION into account.  As the condition may prevent tracepoints from
  being activated in RCU ignored areas (as the one patch does), we get
  false positives when we enable lockdep and hit a tracepoint that the
  condition prevents it from being called in a RCU ignored location.

  The fix for this is to add the CONDITION to the rcu checks, even if
  the tracepoint is not enabled"

spi: Fixes for v3.19

A couple of driver specific fixes:

 - Disable DMA mode for i.MX6DL chips due to a hardware bug.
 - Don't use devm_kzalloc() outside of bind/unbind paths in the fsl-dspi
   driver, fixing memory leaks.
