      watchdog: Fix merge 'conflict' · ab992dc3
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      Two watchdog changes that came through different trees had a non
      conflicting conflict, that is, one changed the semantics of a variable
      but no actual code conflict happened. So the merge appeared fine, but
      the resulting code did not behave as expected.
      
      Commit 195daf66 ("watchdog: enable the new user interface of the
      watchdog mechanism") changes the semantics of watchdog_user_enabled,
      which thereafter is only used by the functions introduced by
      b3738d29 ("watchdog: Add watchdog enable/disable all functions").
      
      There further appears to be a distinct lack of serialization between
      setting and using watchdog_enabled, so perhaps we should wrap the
      {en,dis}able_all() things in watchdog_proc_mutex.
      
      This patch fixes a s2r failure reported by Michal; which I cannot
      readily explain. But this does make the code internally consistent
      again.

      Pull MTD fixes from Brian Norris:
       "Two MTD fixes for 4.1:
      
         - readtest: the signal-handling code was clobbering the error codes
           we should be handling/reporting in this test, rendering it useless.
           Noticed by Coverity.
      
         - the common SPI NOR flash DT binding (merged for 4.1-rc1) is being
           revised, so let's change that before 4.1 is minted"

      sched,perf: Fix periodic timers · 4cfafd30
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      In the below two commits (see Fixes) we have periodic timers that can
      stop themselves when they're no longer required, but need to be
      (re)-started when their idle condition changes.
      
      Further complications is that we want the timer handler to always do
      the forward such that it will always correctly deal with the overruns,
      and we do not want to race such that the handler has already decided
      to stop, but the (external) restart sees the timer still active and we
      end up with a 'lost' timer.
      
      The problem with the current code is that the re-start can come before
      the callback does the forward, at which point the forward from the
      callback will WARN about forwarding an enqueued timer.
      
      Now, conceptually its easy to detect if you're before or after the fwd
      by comparing the expiration time against the current time. Of course,
      that's expensive (and racy) because we don't have the current time.
      
      Alternatively one could cache this state inside the timer, but then
      everybody pays the overhead of maintaining this extra state, and that
      is undesired.
      
      The only other option that I could see is the external timer_active
      variable, which I tried to kill before. I would love a nicer interface
      for this seemingly simple 'problem' but alas.
