s390 Kconfig.debug files. Arnd Bergman noted that the help text was
slightly misleading and should be fixed to state that enabling this option
isn't a problem when using pre 4.4 gcc.
To simplify the rewording, consolidate the text into lib/Kconfig.debug and
modify it there to be more explicit about when you should say N to this
config.
Also, make the text a bit more generic by stating that this option enables
compile time checks so we can cover architectures which emit warnings vs.
ones which emit errors. The details of how an architecture decided to
implement the checks isn't as important as the concept of compile time
checking of copy_from_user() calls.
While we're doing this, remove all the copy_from_user_overflow() code
that's duplicated many times and place it into lib/ so that any
architecture supporting this option can get the function for free.

aio: fix kioctx not being freed after cancellation at exit time
The recent changes overhauling fs/aio.c introduced a bug that results in the
kioctx not being freed when outstanding kiocbs are cancelled at exit_aio()
time. Specifically, a kiocb that is cancelled has its completion events
discarded by batch_complete_aio(), which then fails to wake up the process
stuck in free_ioctx(). Fix this by removing the event suppression in
batch_complete_aio() and modify the wait_event() condition in free_ioctx()
appropriately.

block, aio: batch completion for bios/kiocbs
When completing a kiocb, there's some fixed overhead from touching the
kioctx's ring buffer the kiocb belongs to. Some newer high end block
devices can complete multiple IOs per interrupt, much like many network
interfaces have been for some time.
This plumbs through infrastructure so we can take advantage of multiple
completions at the interrupt level, and complete multiple kiocbs at the
same time.
Drivers have to be converted to take advantage of this, but it's a simple
change and the next patches will convert a few drivers.
To use it, an interrupt handler (or any code that completes bios or
requests) declares and initializes a struct batch_complete:

aio: use xchg() instead of completion_lock
So, for sticking kiocb completions on the kioctx ringbuffer, we need a
lock - it unfortunately can't be lockless.
When the kioctx is shared between threads on different cpus and the rate
of completions is high, this lock sees quite a bit of contention - in
terms of cacheline contention it's the hottest thing in the aio subsystem.
That means, with a regular spinlock, we're going to take a cache miss to
grab the lock, then another cache miss when we touch the data the lock
protects - if it's on the same cacheline as the lock, other cpus spinning
on the lock are going to be pulling it out from under us as we're using
it.
So, we use an old trick to get rid of this second forced cache miss - make
the data the lock protects be the lock itself, so we grab them both at
once.

generic dynamic per cpu refcounting
This implements a refcount with similar semantics to
atomic_get()/atomic_dec_and_test(), that starts out as just an atomic_t
but dynamically switches to per cpu refcounting when the rate of gets/puts
becomes too high.
It also implements two stage shutdown, as we need it to tear down the
percpu counts. Before dropping the initial refcount, you must call
percpu_ref_kill(); this puts the refcount in "shutting down mode" and
switches back to a single atomic refcount with the appropriate barriers
(synchronize_rcu()).
It's also legal to call percpu_ref_kill() multiple times - it only returns
true once, so callers don't have to reimplement shutdown synchronization.
For the sake of simplicity/efficiency, the heuristic is pretty simple - it
just switches to percpu refcounting if there are more than x gets in one
second (completely arbitrarily, 4096).
It'd be more correct to count the number of cache misses or something else
more profile driven, but doing so would require accessing the shared ref
twice per get - by just counting the number of gets(), we can stick that
counter in the high bits of the refcount and increment both with a single
atomic64_add(). But I expect this'll be good enough in practice.

aio: percpu reqs_available
See the previous patch ("aio: reqs_active -> reqs_available") for why we
want to do this - this basically implements a per cpu allocator for
reqs_available that doesn't actually allocate anything.
Note that we need to increase the size of the ringbuffer we allocate,
since a single thread won't necessarily be able to use all the
reqs_available slots - some (up to about half) might be on other per cpu
lists, unavailable for the current thread.
We size the ringbuffer based on the nr_events userspace passed to
io_setup(), so this is a slight behaviour change - but nr_events wasn't
being used as a hard limit before, it was being rounded up to the next
page before so this doesn't change the actual semantics.

wait: add wait_event_hrtimeout()
Analagous to wait_event_timeout() and friends, this adds
wait_event_hrtimeout() and wait_event_interruptible_hrtimeout().
Note that unlike the versions that use regular timers, these don't return
the amount of time remaining when they return - instead, they return 0 or
-ETIME if they timed out. because I was uncomfortable with the semantics
of doing it the other way (that I could get it right, anyways).
If the timer expires, there's no real guarantee that expire_time -
current_time would be <= 0 - due to timer slack certainly, and I'm not
sure I want to know the implications of the different clock bases in
hrtimers.
If the timer does expire and the code calculates that the time remaining
is nonnegative, that could be even worse if the calling code then reuses
that timeout. Probably safer to just return 0 then, but I could imagine
weird bugs or at least unintended behaviour arising from that too.
I came to the conclusion that if other users end up actually needing the

aio: refcounting cleanup
The usage of ctx->dead was fubar - it makes no sense to explicitly check
it all over the place, especially when we're already using RCU.
Now, ctx->dead only indicates whether we've dropped the initial
refcount. The new teardown sequence is:
set ctx->dead
hlist_del_rcu();
synchronize_rcu();
Now we know no system calls can take a new ref, and it's safe to drop
the initial ref:
put_ioctx();
We also need to ensure there are no more outstanding kiocbs. This was
done incorrectly - it was being done in kill_ctx(), and before dropping
the initial refcount. At this point, other syscalls may still be
submitting kiocbs!
Now, we cancel and wait for outstanding kiocbs in free_ioctx(), after
kioctx->users has dropped to 0 and we know no more iocbs could be
submitted.

aio: make aio_put_req() lockless
Freeing a kiocb needed to touch the kioctx for three things:
* Pull it off the reqs_active list
* Decrementing reqs_active
* Issuing a wakeup, if the kioctx was in the process of being freed.
This patch moves these to aio_complete(), for a couple reasons:
* aio_complete() already has to issue the wakeup, so if we drop the
kioctx refcount before aio_complete does its wakeup we don't have to
do it twice.
* aio_complete currently has to take the kioctx lock, so it makes sense
for it to pull the kiocb off the reqs_active list too.
* A later patch is going to change reqs_active to include unreaped
completions - this will mean allocating a kiocb doesn't have to look
at the ringbuffer. So taking the decrement of reqs_active out of
kiocb_free() is useful prep work for that patch.
This doesn't really affect cancellation, since existing (usb) code that
implements a cancel function still calls aio_complete() - we just have
to make sure that aio_complete does the necessary teardown for cancelled
kiocbs.
It does affect code paths where we free kiocbs that were never
submitted; they need to decrement reqs_active and pull the kiocb off the
reqs_active list. This occurs in two places: kiocb_batch_free(), which
is going away in a later patch, and the error path in io_submit_one.

aio: remove retry-based AIO
This removes the retry-based AIO infrastructure now that nothing in tree
is using it.
We want to remove retry-based AIO because it is fundemantally unsafe. It
retries IO submission from a kernel thread that has only assumed the mm of
the submitting task. All other task_struct references in the IO
submission path will see the kernel thread, not the submitting task. This
design flaw means that nothing of any meaningful complexity can use
retry-based AIO.
This removes all the code and data associated with the retry machinery.
The most significant benefit of this is the removal of the locking around
the unused run list in the submission path.
This has only been compiled.

Removing retry is relatively easy as the USB gadget wasn't using it to
retry IOs at all. It always fully submitted the IO in the context of the
initial io_submit() call. It only used the AIO retry facility to get the
submitter's mm context for copying the result of a read back to user
space. This is easy to implement with use_mm() and a work struct, much

find_next_offset() searches for an available "cleaned bit" in the

returns a value equals to BITS_PER_PAGE.
For example, suppose find_next_offset didn't find any available bit, so
there's no purpose to call mk_pid (Wasteful Cpu Cycles).
Therefore, I found it could be better to call mk_pid after the checking
(offset < BITS_PER_PAGE) returned sucessfully! Another point: If (offset

afterwards.
