       "Here are some more staging patches for 3.15-rc1.
      
        They include a late-submission of a wireless driver that a bunch of
        people seem to have the hardware for now.  As it's stand-alone, it
        should be fine (now passes the 0-day random build bot tests).
      
        There are also some fixes for the unisys drivers, as they were causing
        havoc on a number of different machines.  To resolve all of those
        issues, we just mark the driver as BROKEN now, and we can fix it up
        "properly" over time"

      arm64: Fix DMA range invalidation for cache line unaligned buffers · ebf81a93
      Catalin Marinas authored
      If the buffer needing cache invalidation for inbound DMA does start or
      end on a cache line aligned address, we need to use the non-destructive
      clean&invalidate operation. This issue was introduced by commit
      7363590d (arm64: Implement coherent DMA API based on swiotlb).

      DRM: armada: fix corruption while loading cursors · c39b0695
      Russell King authored
      Loading cursors to the LCD controller's SRAM can be corrupted when the
      configured pixel clock is relatively slow.  This seems to be caused
      when we write back-to-back to the SRAM registers.
      
      There doesn't appear to be any status register we can read to check
      when an access has completed.
      
      Inserting a dummy read between the writes appears to fix the problem.

      values used by macros such as PAGE_KERNEL, PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC, etc.
      
      The new fixmap and early_ioremap support also needs to use these macros
      before paging_init() is called.  This patch moves the init_mem_pgprot()
      call out of paging_init() and into setup_arch() so that pgprot_default
      gets initialized in time for fixmap and early_ioremap.

      mm: create generic early_ioremap() support · 9e5c33d7
      Mark Salter authored
      This patch creates a generic implementation of early_ioremap() support
      based on the existing x86 implementation.  early_ioremp() is useful for
      early boot code which needs to temporarily map I/O or memory regions
      before normal mapping functions such as ioremap() are available.
      
      Some architectures have optional MMU.  In the no-MMU case, the remap
      functions simply return the passed in physical address and the unmap
      functions do nothing.

      x86/mm: sparse warning fix for early_memremap · 6b550f6f
      Dave Young authored
      This patch series takes the common bits from the x86 early ioremap
      implementation and creates a generic implementation which may be used by
      other architectures.  The early ioremap interfaces are intended for
      situations where boot code needs to make temporary virtual mappings
      before the normal ioremap interfaces are available.  Typically, this
      means before paging_init() has run.
      
      This patch (of 6):
      
      There's a lot of sparse warnings for code like below: void *a =
      early_memremap(phys_addr, size);
      
      early_memremap intend to map kernel memory with ioremap facility, the
      return pointer should be a kernel ram pointer instead of iomem one.
      
      For making the function clearer and supressing sparse warnings this patch
      do below two things:
      1. cast to (__force void *) for the return value of early_memremap
      2. add early_memunmap function and pass (__force void __iomem *) to iounmap
      
      From Boris:
        "Ingo told me yesterday, it makes sense too.  I'd guess we can try it.
         FWIW, all callers of early_memremap use the memory they get remapped
         as normal memory so we should be safe"

      When __this_cpu_inc is altered to check if preemption is disabled this

      net: replace __this_cpu_inc in route.c with raw_cpu_inc · 3ed66e91
      Christoph Lameter authored
      The RT_CACHE_STAT_INC macro triggers the new preemption checks
      for __this_cpu ops.
      
      I do not see any other synchronization that would allow the use of a
      __this_cpu operation here however in commit dbd2915c ("[IPV4]:
      RT_CACHE_STAT_INC() warning fix") Andrew justifies the use of
      raw_smp_processor_id() here because "we do not care" about races.  In
      the past we agreed that the price of disabling interrupts here to get
      consistent counters would be too high.  These counters may be inaccurate
      due to race conditions.
      
      The use of __this_cpu op improves the situation already from what commit
      dbd2915c did since the single instruction emitted on x86 does not
      allow the race to occur anymore.  However, non x86 platforms could still
      experience a race here.

      mm: use raw_cpu ops for determining current NUMA node · dc322a99
      Christoph Lameter authored
      With the preempt checking logic for __this_cpu_ops we will get false
      positives from locations in the code that use numa_node_id.
      
      Before the __this_cpu ops where introduced there were no checks for
      preemption present either.  smp_raw_processor_id() was used.  See
      
        http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-numa/msg00641.html
      
      Therefore we need to use raw_cpu_read here to avoid false postives.
      
      Note that this issue has been discussed in prior years.  If the process
      changes nodes after retrieving the current numa node then that is
      acceptable since most uses of numa_node etc are for optimization and not
      for correctness.
      
      There were suggestions to implement a raw_numa_node_id in order to do
      preempt checks for numa_node_id as well.  But I think we better defer
      that to another patch since that would mean investigating how
      numa_node_id() is used throughout the kernel which would increase the
      scope of this patchset significantly.  After all preemption was never
      checked before when numa_node_id() was used.

      percpu: add raw_cpu_ops · b3ca1c10
      Christoph Lameter authored
      The kernel has never been audited to ensure that this_cpu operations are
      consistently used throughout the kernel.  The code generated in many
      places can be improved through the use of this_cpu operations (which
      uses a segment register for relocation of per cpu offsets instead of
      performing address calculations).
      
      The patch set also addresses various consistency issues in general with
      the per cpu macros.
      
      A. The semantics of __this_cpu_ptr() differs from this_cpu_ptr only
         because checks are skipped. This is typically shown through a raw_
         prefix. So this patch set changes the places where __this_cpu_ptr()
         is used to raw_cpu_ptr().
      
      B. There has been the long term wish by some that __this_cpu operations
         would check for preemption. However, there are cases where preemption
         checks need to be skipped. This patch set adds raw_cpu operations that
         do not check for preemption and then adds preemption checks to the
         __this_cpu operations.
      
      C. The use of __get_cpu_var is always a reference to a percpu variable
         that can also be handled via a this_cpu operation. This patch set
         replaces all uses of __get_cpu_var with this_cpu operations.
      
      D. We can then use this_cpu RMW operations in various places replacing
         sequences of instructions by a single one.
      
      E. The use of this_cpu operations throughout will allow other arches than
         x86 to implement optimized references and RMV operations to work with
         per cpu local data.
      
      F. The use of this_cpu operations opens up the possibility to
         further optimize code that relies on synchronization through
         per cpu data.
      
      The patch set works in a couple of stages:
      
      I. Patch 1 adds the additional raw_cpu operations and raw_cpu_ptr().
          Also converts the existing __this_cpu_xx_# primitive in the x86
          code to raw_cpu_xx_#.
      
      II. Patch 2-4 use the raw_cpu operations in places that would give
           us false positives once they are enabled.
      
      III. Patch 5 adds preemption checks to __this_cpu operations to allow
          checking if preemption is properly disabled when these functions
          are used.
      
      IV. Patches 6-20 are patches that simply replace uses of __get_cpu_var
         with this_cpu_ptr. They do not depend on any changes to the percpu
         code. No preemption tests are skipped if they are applied.
      
      V. Patches 21-46 are conversion patches that use this_cpu operations
         in various kernel subsystems/drivers or arch code.
      
      VI.  Patches 47/48 (not included in this series) remove no longer used
          functions (__this_cpu_ptr and __get_cpu_var).  These should only be
          applied after all the conversion patches have made it and after we
          have done additional passes through the kernel to ensure that none of
          the uses of these functions remain.
      
      This patch (of 46):
      
      The patches following this one will add preemption checks to __this_cpu
      ops so we need to have an alternative way to use this_cpu operations
      without preemption checks.
      
      raw_cpu_ops will be the basis for all other ops since these will be the
      operations that do not implement any checks.
      
      Primitive operations are renamed by this patch from __this_cpu_xxx to
      raw_cpu_xxxx.
      
      Also change the uses of the x86 percpu primitives in preempt.h.
      These depend directly on asm/percpu.h (header #include nesting issue).

      slub: rework sysfs layout for memcg caches · 9a41707b
      Vladimir Davydov authored
      Currently, we try to arrange sysfs entries for memcg caches in the same
      manner as for global caches.  Apart from turning /sys/kernel/slab into a
      mess when there are a lot of kmem-active memcgs created, it actually
      does not work properly - we won't create more than one link to a memcg
      cache in case its parent is merged with another cache.  For instance, if
      A is a root cache merged with another root cache B, we will have the
      following sysfs setup:
      
        X
        A -> X
        B -> X
      
      where X is some unique id (see create_unique_id()).  Now if memcgs M and
      N start to allocate from cache A (or B, which is the same), we will get:
      
        X
        X:M
        X:N
        A -> X
        B -> X
        A:M -> X:M
        A:N -> X:N
      
      Since B is an alias for A, we won't get entries B:M and B:N, which is
      confusing.
      
      It is more logical to have entries for memcg caches under the
      corresponding root cache's sysfs directory.  This would allow us to keep
      sysfs layout clean, and avoid such inconsistencies like one described
      above.
      
      This patch does the trick.  It creates a "cgroup" kset in each root
      cache kobject to keep its children caches there.

      memcg, slab: do not destroy children caches if parent has aliases · b8529907
      Vladimir Davydov authored
      Currently we destroy children caches at the very beginning of
      kmem_cache_destroy().  This is wrong, because the root cache will not
      necessarily be destroyed in the end - if it has aliases (refcount > 0),
      kmem_cache_destroy() will simply decrement its refcount and return.  In
      this case, at best we will get a bunch of warnings in dmesg, like this
      one:
      
        kmem_cache_destroy kmalloc-32:0: Slab cache still has objects
        CPU: 1 PID: 7139 Comm: modprobe Tainted: G    B   W    3.13.0+ #117
        Call Trace:
          dump_stack+0x49/0x5b
          kmem_cache_destroy+0xdf/0xf0
          kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children+0x97/0xc0
          kmem_cache_destroy+0xf/0xf0

          SyS_delete_module+0x198/0x1f0
          system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b
      
      At worst - if kmem_cache_destroy() will race with an allocation from a
      memcg cache - the kernel will panic.
      
      This patch fixes this by moving children caches destruction after the
      check if the cache has aliases.  Plus, it forbids destroying a root
      cache if it still has children caches, because each children cache keeps
      a reference to its parent.

      memcg, slab: unregister cache from memcg before starting to destroy it · 051dd460
      Vladimir Davydov authored
      Currently, memcg_unregister_cache(), which deletes the cache being
      destroyed from the memcg_slab_caches list, is called after
      __kmem_cache_shutdown() (see kmem_cache_destroy()), which starts to
      destroy the cache.
      
      As a result, one can access a partially destroyed cache while traversing
      a memcg_slab_caches list, which can have deadly consequences (for
      instance, cache_show() called for each cache on a memcg_slab_caches list
      from mem_cgroup_slabinfo_read() will dereference pointers to already
      freed data).
      
      To fix this, let's move memcg_unregister_cache() before the cache
      destruction process beginning, issuing memcg_register_cache() on failure.

      memcg, slab: cleanup memcg cache creation · 5722d094
      Vladimir Davydov authored
      This patch cleans up the memcg cache creation path as follows:
      
      - Move memcg cache name creation to a separate function to be called
        from kmem_cache_create_memcg().  This allows us to get rid of the mutex
        protecting the temporary buffer used for the name formatting, because
        the whole cache creation path is protected by the slab_mutex.
      
      - Get rid of memcg_create_kmem_cache().  This function serves as a proxy
        to kmem_cache_create_memcg().  After separating the cache name creation
        path, it would be reduced to a function call, so let's inline it.

      memcg, slab: never try to merge memcg caches · a44cb944
      Vladimir Davydov authored
      When a kmem cache is created (kmem_cache_create_memcg()), we first try to
      find a compatible cache that already exists and can handle requests from
      the new cache, i.e.  has the same object size, alignment, ctor, etc.  If
      there is such a cache, we do not create any new caches, instead we simply
      increment the refcount of the cache found and return it.
      
      Currently we do this procedure not only when creating root caches, but
      also for memcg caches.  However, there is no point in that, because, as
      every memcg cache has exactly the same parameters as its parent and cache
      merging cannot be turned off in runtime (only on boot by passing
      "slub_nomerge"), the root caches of any two potentially mergeable memcg
      caches should be merged already, i.e.  it must be the same root cache, and
      therefore we couldn't even get to the memcg cache creation, because it
      already exists.
      
      The only exception is boot caches - they are explicitly forbidden to be
      merged by setting their refcount to -1.  There are currently only two of
      them - kmem_cache and kmem_cache_node, which are used in slab internals (I
      do not count kmalloc caches as their refcount is set to 1 immediately
      after creation).  Since they are prevented from merging preliminary I
      guess we should avoid to merge their children too.
      
      So let's remove the useless code responsible for merging memcg caches.
