Although list_for_each_entry_rcu() can in theory be used anywhere
preemption is disabled, it can result in calls to lockdep, which cannot
be used in certain constrained execution environments, such as exception
handlers that do not map the entire kernel into their address spaces.
This commit therefore adds list_entry_lockless() and
list_for_each_entry_lockless(), which never invoke lockdep and can
therefore safely be used from these constrained environments, but only
as long as those environments are non-preemptible (or items are never
deleted from the list).
Use synchronize_sched(), call_rcu_sched(), or synchronize_sched_expedited()
in updates for the needed grace periods. Of course, if items are never
deleted from the list, there is no need to wait for grace periods.

Adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API before we have any real users.
Adjust API to return type 'int' instead of previously type 'bool'. This
is done to allow future extension of the bulk alloc API.
A future extension could be to allow SLUB to stop at a page boundary, when
specified by a flag, and then return the number of objects.
The advantage of this approach, would make it easier to make bulk alloc
run without local IRQs disabled. With an approach of cmpxchg "stealing"
the entire c->freelist or page->freelist. To avoid overshooting we would
stop processing at a slab-page boundary. Else we always end up returning
some objects at the cost of another cmpxchg.
To keep compatible with future users of this API linking against an older
kernel when using the new flag, we need to return the number of allocated
objects with this API change.

slub: add missing kmem cgroup support to kmem_cache_free_bulk
Initial implementation missed support for kmem cgroup support in

If CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not enabled, the compiler should be smart enough
to not add any asm code.
Incoming bulk free objects can belong to different kmem cgroups, and
object free call can happen at a later point outside memcg context. Thus,
we need to keep the orig kmem_cache, to correctly verify if a memcg object
match against its "root_cache" (s->memcg_params.root_cache).

slub: fix kmem cgroup bug in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk
The call slab_pre_alloc_hook() interacts with kmemgc and is not allowed to
be called several times inside the bulk alloc for loop, due to the call to
memcg_kmem_get_cache().
This would result in hitting the VM_BUG_ON in __memcg_kmem_get_cache.
As suggested by Vladimir Davydov, change slab_post_alloc_hook() to be able
to handle an array of objects.
A subtle detail is, loop iterator "i" in slab_post_alloc_hook() must have
same type (size_t) as size argument. This helps the compiler to easier
realize that it can remove the loop, when all debug statements inside loop
evaluates to nothing. Note, this is only an issue because the kernel is
compiled with GCC option: -fno-strict-overflow
In slab_alloc_node() the compiler inlines and optimizes the invocation of
slab_post_alloc_hook(s, flags, 1, &object) by removing the loop and access
object directly.

slub: optimize bulk slowpath free by detached freelist
This change focus on improving the speed of object freeing in the
"slowpath" of kmem_cache_free_bulk.
The calls slab_free (fastpath) and __slab_free (slowpath) have been
extended with support for bulk free, which amortize the overhead of
the (locked) cmpxchg_double.
To use the new bulking feature, we build what I call a detached
freelist. The detached freelist takes advantage of three properties:
1) the free function call owns the object that is about to be freed,
thus writing into this memory is synchronization-free.
2) many freelist's can co-exist side-by-side in the same slab-page
each with a separate head pointer.
3) it is the visibility of the head pointer that needs synchronization.
Given these properties, the brilliant part is that the detached
freelist can be constructed without any need for synchronization. The
freelist is constructed directly in the page objects, without any
synchronization needed. The detached freelist is allocated on the
stack of the function call kmem_cache_free_bulk. Thus, the freelist
head pointer is not visible to other CPUs.
All objects in a SLUB freelist must belong to the same slab-page.
Thus, constructing the detached freelist is about matching objects
that belong to the same slab-page. The bulk free array is scanned is
a progressive manor with a limited look-ahead facility.
Kmem debug support is handled in call of slab_free().
Notice kmem_cache_free_bulk no longer need to disable IRQs. This
only slowed down single free bulk with approx 3 cycles.
Performance data:
Benchmarked[1] obj size 256 bytes on CPU i7-4790K @ 4.00GHz
SLUB fastpath single object quick reuse: 47 cycles(tsc) 11.931 ns
To get stable and comparable numbers, the kernel have been booted with
"slab_merge" (this also improve performance for larger bulk sizes).
Performance data, compared against fallback bulking:
Performance with normal SLUB merging is significantly slower for
larger bulking. This is believed to (primarily) be an effect of not
having to share the per-CPU data-structures, as tuning per-CPU size
can achieve similar performance.
Make it possible to free a freelist with several objects by adjusting API
of slab_free() and __slab_free() to have head, tail and an objects counter
(cnt).
Tail being NULL indicate single object free of head object. This allow
compiler inline constant propagation in slab_free() and
slab_free_freelist_hook() to avoid adding any overhead in case of single
object free.
This allows a freelist with several objects (all within the same
slab-page) to be free'ed using a single locked cmpxchg_double in
__slab_free() and with an unlocked cmpxchg_double in slab_free().
Object debugging on the free path is also extended to handle these
freelists. When CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is enabled it will also detect if
objects don't belong to the same slab-page.
These changes are needed for the next patch to bulk free the detached
freelists it introduces and constructs.
Micro benchmarking showed no performance reduction due to this change,
when debugging is turned off (compiled with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG).

This patch adds huge page support to allow userspace to allocate huge

A later patch will add kernel support to map kernel text and data on
huge pages.
The only requirement is, that the kernel needs to be compiled for a
PA8X00 CPU (PA2.0 architecture). Older PA1.X CPUs do not support
variable page sizes. 64bit Kernels are compiled for PA2.0 by default.
Technically on parisc multiple physical huge pages may be needed to
emulate standard 2MB huge pages.

page in order to easily write the checksum after having mapped the
kernel read-only (by mapping this page only as read-write).
But when we want to map the kernel text and data on huge pages this
makes things harder.
So, simplify it by aligning both fault vectors on 2K boundries and write
the checksum before we map the page read-only.

parisc: Add defines for Huge page support
Huge pages on parisc will have the same size as one pmd table, which
is on a 64bit kernel 2MB on a kernel with 4K kernel page sizes, and
on a 32bit kernel 4MB when used with 4K kernel pages.
Since parisc does not physically supports 2MB huge page sizes, emulate
it with two consecutive 1MB page sizes instead. Keeping the same huge
page size as one pmd will allow us to add transparent huge page support
later on.
Bit 21 in the pte flags was unused and will now be used to mark a page
as huge page (_PAGE_HPAGE_BIT).

sigsuspend() is nowhere used except in signal.c itself, so we can mark it
static do not pollute the global namespace.
But this patch is more than a boring cleanup patch, it fixes a real issue
on UserModeLinux. UML has a special console driver to display ttys using
xterm, or other terminal emulators, on the host side. Vegard reported
that sometimes UML is unable to spawn a xterm and he's facing the
following warning:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 908 at include/linux/thread_info.h:128 sigsuspend+0xab/0xc0()
It turned out that this warning makes absolutely no sense as the UML
xterm code calls sigsuspend() on the host side, at least it tries. But
as the kernel itself offers a sigsuspend() symbol the linker choose this
one instead of the glibc wrapper. Interestingly this code used to work
since ever but always blocked signals on the wrong side. Some recent
kernel change made the WARN_ON() trigger and uncovered the bug.
It is a wonderful example of how much works by chance on computers. :-)
kasan_module_alloc() allocates shadow memory for module and frees it on
module unloading. It doesn't store the pointer to allocated shadow memory
because it could be calculated from the shadowed address, i.e.
kasan_mem_to_shadow(addr).
Since kmemleak cannot find pointer to allocated shadow, it thinks that
memory leaked.
Use kmemleak_ignore() to tell kmemleak that this is not a leak and shadow
memory doesn't contain any pointers.

mm/hugetlbfs: fix bugs in fallocate hole punch of areas with holes
Hugh Dickins pointed out problems with the new hugetlbfs fallocate hole
punch code. These problems are in the routine remove_inode_hugepages and

removed. These holes could be the result of a previous hole punch or
simply sparse allocation. The current code could access pages outside the
specified range.
remove_inode_hugepages handles both hole punch and truncate operations.
Page index handling was fixed/cleaned up so that the loop index always
matches the page being processed. The code now only makes a single pass
through the range of pages as it was determined page faults could not race
with truncate. A cond_resched() was added after removing up to

to madvise the guest address space as NOHUGEPAGE. This patch modifies the
code so that the operation succeeds without error now.
For consistency reasons do the same for MADV_HUGEPAGE.

mm: vmalloc: don't remove inexistent guard hole in remove_vm_area()
Commit 71394fe50146 ("mm: vmalloc: add flag preventing guard hole
allocation") missed a spot. Currently remove_vm_area() decreases vm->size
to "remove" the guard hole page, even when it isn't present. All but one
users just free the vm_struct rigth away and never access vm->size anyway.
Don't touch the size in remove_vm_area() and have __vunmap() use the
proper get_vm_area_size() helper.

ncpfs: don't allow negative timeouts
This code causes a static checker warning because it's a user controlled
variable where we cap the upper bound but not the lower bound. Let's
return an -EINVAL for negative timeouts.

configfs: allow dynamic group creation
This patchset introduces IIO software triggers, offers a way of configuring
them via configfs and adds the IIO hrtimer based interrupt source to be used
with software triggers.
The architecture is now split in 3 parts, to remove all IIO trigger specific
parts from IIO configfs core:
(1) IIO configfs - creates the root of the IIO configfs subsys.
(2) IIO software triggers - software trigger implementation, dynamically
creating /config/iio/triggers group.
(3) IIO hrtimer trigger - is the first interrupt source for software triggers
(with syfs to follow). Each trigger type can implement its own set of
attributes.
Lockdep seems to be happy with the locking in configfs patch.
This patch (of 5):
We don't want to hardcode default groups at subsystem
creation time. We export:
* configfs_register_group
* configfs_unregister_group
to allow drivers to programatically create/destroy groups
later, after module init time.
This is needed for IIO configfs support.
(akpm: the other 4 patches to be merged via the IIO tree)
