Currently getting the sample period is always thru a complex calculation: get_softlockup_thresh() * ((u64)NSEC_PER_SEC / 5). We can store the sample period as a variable, and set it as __read_mostly type.

Will Deacon authored
The {in,out}s{b,w,l} functions are designed to operate on a stream of bytes and therefore should not perform any byte-swapping, regardless of the CPU byte order. This patch fixes the generic IO header so that {in,out}s{b,w,l} call the __raw_{read,write} functions directly rather than going via the endian-correcting accessors.

Jonathan Austin authored
Since userspace headers were moved to generated/uapi it possible to have a stale copy of linux/version.h at that file's old location. This causes confusion after building an older kernel version, then checking out and building a new one; the old (stale) version header will still get picked up until it is manually removed. This upsets the C library. Since the uapi changes, include/linux/version.h is no longer generated and should not be ignored, so this patch removes it from .gitignore.

Currently the __define_initcall() macro takes three arguments, fn, id and level. The level argument is exactly the same as the id argument but wrapped in quotes. To overcome this need to specify three arguments to the __define_initcall macro, where one argument is the stringification of another, we can just use the stringification macro instead.

This is especially dangerous for systems that have both msdos and efi partition tables, where you want to keep them in sync. - Cleanup of using -1 instead of the proper NUMA_NO_NODE - Export control of bdi flusher thread CPU mask and default to using the home node (if known) from Jeff. - Export unplug tracepoint for MD. - Core improvements from Shaohua. Reinstate the recursive merge, as the original bug has been fixed. Add plugging for discard and also fix a problem handling non pow-of-2 discard limits.

Andrea's autonuma-benchmark numa01 hits kernel BUG at huge_memory.c:1474! in change_huge_pmd called from change_protection from change_prot_numa from task_numa_work. That BUG, introduced in the huge zero page commit cad7f613 ("thp: change_huge_pmd(): make sure we don't try to make a page writable") was trying to verify that newprot never adds write permission to an anonymous huge page; but Automatic NUMA Balancing's 4b10e7d5 ("mm: mempolicy: Implement change_prot_numa() in terms of change_protection()") adds a new prot_numa path into change_huge_pmd(), which makes no use of the newprot provided, and may retain the write bit in the pmd. Just move the BUG_ON(pmd_write(entry)) up into the !prot_numa block. Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Then the rest is mostly tiny cleanups and fixes, among which we have Mark's wm5xxx and wm8xxx patchset." Far amount of annoying but largely trivial conflicts.

Pull Automatic NUMA Balancing bare-bones from Mel Gorman: "There are three implementations for NUMA balancing, this tree (balancenuma), numacore which has been developed in tip/master and autonuma which is in aa.git. In almost all respects balancenuma is the dumbest of the three because its main impact is on the VM side with no attempt to be smart about scheduling. In the interest of getting the ball rolling, it would be desirable to see this much merged for 3.8 with the view to building scheduler smarts on top and adapting the VM where required for 3.9. The most recent set of comparisons available from different people are mel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/9/108 mingo: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/7/331 tglx: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/437 srikar: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/397 The results are a mixed bag. In my own tests, balancenuma does reasonably well. It's dumb as rocks and does not regress against mainline. On the other hand, Ingo's tests shows that balancenuma is incapable of converging for this workloads driven by perf which is bad but is potentially explained by the lack of scheduler smarts. Thomas' results show balancenuma improves on mainline but falls far short of numacore or autonuma. Srikar's results indicate we all suffer on a large machine with imbalanced node sizes. My own testing showed that recent numacore results have improved dramatically, particularly in the last week but not universally. We've butted heads heavily on system CPU usage and high levels of migration even when it shows that overall performance is better. There are also cases where it regresses. Of interest is that for specjbb in some configurations it will regress for lower numbers of warehouses and show gains for higher numbers which is not reported by the tool by default and sometimes missed in treports. Recently I reported for numacore that the JVM was crashing with NullPointerExceptions but currently it's unclear what the source of this problem is. Initially I thought it was in how numacore batch handles PTEs but I'm no longer think this is the case. It's possible numacore is just able to trigger it due to higher rates of migration. These reports were quite late in the cycle so I/we would like to start with this tree as it contains much of the code we can agree on and has not changed significantly over the last 2-3 weeks." * tag 'balancenuma-v11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mel/linux-balancenuma: (50 commits) mm/rmap, migration: Make rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable mm/rmap: Convert the struct anon_vma::mutex to an rwsem mm: migrate: Account a transhuge page properly when rate limiting mm: numa: Account for failed allocations and isolations as migration failures mm: numa: Add THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case build fix mm: numa: Add THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case. mm: sched: numa: Delay PTE scanning until a task is scheduled on a new node mm: sched: numa: Control enabling and disabling of NUMA balancing if !SCHED_DEBUG mm: sched: numa: Control enabling and disabling of NUMA balancing mm: sched: Adapt the scanning rate if a NUMA hinting fault does not migrate mm: numa: Use a two-stage filter to restrict pages being migrated for unlikely task<->node relationships mm: numa: migrate: Set last_nid on newly allocated page mm: numa: split_huge_page: Transfer last_nid on tail page mm: numa: Introduce last_nid to the page frame sched: numa: Slowly increase the scanning period as NUMA faults are handled mm: numa: Rate limit setting of pte_numa if node is saturated mm: numa: Rate limit the amount of memory that is migrated between nodes mm: numa: Structures for Migrate On Fault per NUMA migration rate limiting mm: numa: Migrate pages handled during a pmd_numa hinting fault mm: numa: Migrate on reference policy ...

So I'd say the code is good and should be enabled for all supported chips, that is: ICH5 and later. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Reviewed-by: Daniel Kurtz <djkurtz@chromium.org>

Somehow the original reporter went awol, so this stalled for way too long until we've found a new victim^Wreporter with broken BIOS. - seqno wrap fixes from Mika and Chris. - Some minor fixes all over from various people. - Another race fix in the pageflip vs. unpin code from Chris. - hsw vga resume support and a few more fdi link fixes (only used for vga on hsw) from Paulo. - Regression fix for DMAR from Zhenyu Wang - I've scavenged memory from my DMAR for a while and it broke right away :( - Regression fix from Takashi Iwai for ivb lvds - some w/a needs to be (partially) moved back into place.

Merge branch 'exynos-drm-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/daeinki/drm-exynos into drm-next Inki writes: "- add dmabuf attach/detach feature . This patch would resolve performance deterioration issue when v4l2-based driver is using the buffer imported from gem. - drm/exynos: use DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING attribute . With gem allocation, kernel space mapping isn't allocated and also physical pages aren't mapped with the kernel space. The physical pages are mapped with kernel space though vmap function only for console framebuffer. - add the below two patches I missed. drm: exynos: moved exynos drm device registration to drm driver drm: exynos: moved exynos drm hdmi device registration to drm driver - add IPP subsystem framework and its-based device drivers. . This patch set includes fimc, rotator and gsc drivers to perform image scaling, rotation and color space conversion. - add runtime pm support to hdmi driver. - And fixups and cleanups." * 'exynos-drm-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/daeinki/drm-exynos: (30 commits) drm/exynos: add gsc ipp driver drm/exynos: add rotator ipp driver drm/exynos: add fimc ipp driver drm/exynos: add iommu support for ipp drm/exynos: add ipp subsystem drm/exynos: support device tree for fimd drm/exynos: support extended screen coordinate of fimd drm/exynos: fix x, y coordinates for right bottom pixel drm/exynos: fix fb offset calculation for plane drm/exynos: hdmi: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference error drm/exynos: hdmi: Add CONFIG_OF and use of_match_ptr() macro drm/exynos: add support for hdmiphy power control for exynos5 drm/exynos: add runtime pm support for mixer drm/exynos: added runtime pm support for hdmi drm/exynos: fix allocation and cache mapping type drm/exynos: reorder framebuffer init sequence drm/exynos/iommu: fix return value check in drm_create_iommu_mapping() drm/exynos: remove unused vaddr member drm/exynos: use DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING attribute drm/exynos: add exception codes to exynos_drm_fbdev_create() ...

This reverts commit bd52276f ("x86-64/efi: Use EFI to deal with platform wall clock (again)"), and the two supporting commits: da5a108d: "x86/kernel: remove tboot 1:1 page table creation code" 185034e7: "x86, efi: 1:1 pagetable mapping for virtual EFI calls") as they all depend semantically on commit 53b87cf0 ("x86, mm: Include the entire kernel memory map in trampoline_pgd") that got reverted earlier due to the problems it caused. This was pointed out by Yinghai Lu, and verified by me on my Macbook Air that uses EFI. Pointed-out-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Pull target updates from Nicholas Bellinger: "It has been a very busy development cycle this time around in target land, with the highlights including: - Kill struct se_subsystem_dev, in favor of direct se_device usage (hch) - Simplify reservations code by combining SPC-3 + SCSI-2 support for virtual backends only (hch) - Simplify ALUA code for virtual only backends, and remove left over abstractions (hch) - Pass sense_reason_t as return value for I/O submission path (hch) - Refactor MODE_SENSE emulation to allow for easier addition of new mode pages. (roland) - Add emulation of MODE_SELECT (roland) - Fix bug in handling of ExpStatSN wrap-around (steve) - Fix bug in TMR ABORT_TASK lookup in qla2xxx target (steve) - Add WRITE_SAME w/ UNMAP=0 support for IBLOCK backends (nab) - Convert ib_srpt to use modern target_submit_cmd caller + drop legacy ioctx->kref usage (nab) - Convert ib_srpt to use modern target_submit_tmr caller (nab) - Add link_magic for fabric allow_link destination target_items for symlinks within target_core_fabric_configfs.c code (nab) - Allocate pointers in instead of full structs for config_group->default_groups (sebastian) - Fix 32-bit highmem breakage for FILEIO (sebastian) All told, hch was able to shave off another ~1K LOC by killing the se_subsystem_dev abstraction, along with a number of PR + ALUA simplifications. Also, a nice patch by Roland is the refactoring of MODE_SENSE handling, along with the addition of initial MODE_SELECT emulation support for virtual backends. Sebastian found a long-standing issue wrt to allocation of full config_group instead of pointers for config_group->default_group[] setup in a number of areas, which ends up saving memory with big configurations. He also managed to fix another long-standing BUG wrt to broken 32-bit highmem support within the FILEIO backend driver.
