Pull regulator updates from Mark Brown:
 "Not much exciting going on with the regulator API this time around,
  lots of driver fixes and enhancements - the main thing is the addition
  of a new API to help make the stubbing code do the right thing for
  missing regulator mappings.

  Highlights:

   - A new regulator_get_optional() API call for regulators that can be
     absent in normal operation.  This currently does nothing but will
     be used to improve the stubbing code for unspecified regulators,
     helping avoid some of the issues we've seen with adding new
     regulator support.
   - Helpers for devices with multiple linear ranges of voltages in the
     same regulator.
   - Moved the helpers into a separate file since core.c is getting
     rather large.
   - New drivers for Dialog DA9210 and DA9063, Freescale pfuze100 and
     Marvell 88pm800"

Merge lockref infrastructure code by me and Waiman Long.

I already merged some of the preparatory patches that didn't actually do
any semantic changes earlier, but this merges the actual _reason_ for
those preparatory patches.

The "lockref" structure is a combination "spinlock and reference count"
that allows optimized reference count accesses.  In particular, it
guarantees that the reference count will be updated AS IF the spinlock
was held, but using atomic accesses that cover both the reference count
and the spinlock words, we can often do the update without actually
having to take the lock.

This allows us to avoid the nastiest cases of spinlock contention on
large machines under heavy pathname lookup loads.  When updating the
dentry reference counts on a large system, we'll still end up with the
cache line bouncing around, but that's much less noticeable than
actually having to spin waiting for the lock.

* lockref:
  lockref: implement lockless reference count updates using cmpxchg()
  lockref: uninline lockref helper functions
  vfs: reimplement d_rcu_to_refcount() using lockref_get_or_lock()
  vfs: use lockref_get_not_zero() for optimistic lockless dget_parent()
  lockref: add 'lockref_get_or_lock() helper

Instead of taking the spinlock, the lockless versions atomically check
that the lock is not taken, and do the reference count update using a
cmpxchg() loop.  This is semantically identical to doing the reference
count update protected by the lock, but avoids the "wait for lock"
contention that you get when accesses to the reference count are
contended.

Note that a "lockref" is absolutely _not_ equivalent to an atomic_t.
Even when the lockref reference counts are updated atomically with
cmpxchg, the fact that they also verify the state of the spinlock means
that the lockless updates can never happen while somebody else holds the
spinlock.

So while "lockref_put_or_lock()" looks a lot like just another name for
"atomic_dec_and_lock()", and both optimize to lockless updates, they are
fundamentally different: the decrement done by atomic_dec_and_lock() is
truly independent of any lock (as long as it doesn't decrement to zero),
so a locked region can still see the count change.

The lockref structure, in contrast, really is a *locked* reference
count.  If you hold the spinlock, the reference count will be stable and
you can modify the reference count without using atomics, because even
the lockless updates will see and respect the state of the lock.

In order to enable the cmpxchg lockless code, the architecture needs to
do three things:

 (1) Make sure that the "arch_spinlock_t" and an "unsigned int" can fit
     in an aligned u64, and have a "cmpxchg()" implementation that works
     on such a u64 data type.

 (2) define a helper function to test for a spinlock being unlocked
     ("arch_spin_value_unlocked()")

 (3) select the "ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF" config variable in its
     Kconfig file.

This enables it for x86-64 (but not 32-bit, we'd need to make sure
cmpxchg() turns into the proper cmpxchg8b in order to enable it for
32-bit mode).

They aren't very good to inline, since they already call external
functions (the spinlock code), and we're going to create rather more
complicated versions of them that can do the reference count updates
locklessly.

This moves __d_rcu_to_refcount() from <linux/dcache.h> into fs/namei.c
and re-implements it using the lockref infrastructure instead.  It also
adds a lot of comments about what is actually going on, because turning
a dentry that was looked up using RCU into a long-lived reference
counted entry is one of the more subtle parts of the rcu walk.

We also used to be _particularly_ subtle in unlazy_walk() where we
re-validate both the dentry and its parent using the same sequence
count.  We used to do it by nesting the locks and then verifying the
sequence count just once.

That was silly, because nested locking is expensive, but the sequence
count check is not.  So this just re-validates the dentry and the parent
separately, avoiding the nested locking, and making the lockref lookup
possible.

A valid parent pointer is always going to have a non-zero reference
count, but if we look up the parent optimistically without locking, we
have to protect against the (very unlikely) race against renaming
changing the parent from under us.

We do that by using lockref_get_not_zero(), and then re-checking the
parent pointer after getting a valid reference.

[ This is a re-implementation of a chunk from the original patch by
  Waiman Long: "dcache: Enable lockless update of dentry's refcount".
  I've completely rewritten the patch-series and split it up, but I'm
  attributing this part to Waiman as it's close enough to his earlier
  patch  - Linus ]

This behaves like "lockref_get_not_zero()", but instead of doing nothing
if the count was zero, it returns with the lock held.

This allows callers to revalidate the lockref-protected data structure
if required even if the count was zero to begin with, and possibly
increment the count if it passes muster.

In particular, the dentry code wants this when it wants to turn an
RCU-protected dentry into a stable refcounted one: if the dentry count
it zero, but the sequence number still validates the dentry, we can take
a reference to it.

Pull SCSI fix from James Bottomley:

  new hardware support was added in 3.10 the IO command size was kept at
  the old hard coded value.  This means that the driver attaches to some
