Move the calls to memcpy_fromio() up into the loop in dmi_scan_machine(),
and move the signature checks back down into dmi_decode(). We need to
check at 16-byte intervals but keep a 32-byte buffer for an SMBIOS entry,
so shift the buffer after each iteration.
Merge smbios_present() into dmi_present(), so we look for an SMBIOS
signature at the beginning of the given buffer and then for a DMI
signature at an offset of 16 bytes.

epoll: support for disabling items, and a self-test app
It is not currently possible to reliably delete epoll items when using the
same epoll set from multiple threads. After calling epoll_ctl with
EPOLL_CTL_DEL, another thread might still be executing code related to an
event for that epoll item (in response to epoll_wait). Therefore the
deleting thread does not know when it is safe to delete resources
pertaining to the associated epoll item because another thread might be
using those resources.
The deleting thread could wait an arbitrary amount of time after calling
epoll_ctl with EPOLL_CTL_DEL and before deleting the item, but this is
inefficient and could result in the destruction of resources before
another thread is done handling an event returned by epoll_wait.
This patch enhances epoll_ctl to support EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE, which disables
an epoll item. If epoll_ctl returns -EBUSY in this case, then another
thread may handling a return from epoll_wait for this item. Otherwise if
epoll_ctl returns 0, then it is safe to delete the epoll item. This
allows multiple threads to use a mutex to determine when it is safe to
delete an epoll item and its associated resources, which allows epoll
items to be deleted both efficiently and without error in a multi-threaded
environment. Note that EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE is only useful in conjunction
with EPOLLONESHOT, and using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE on an epoll item without
EPOLLONESHOT returns -EINVAL.
This patch also adds a new test_epoll self-test program to both
demonstrate the need for this feature and test it.

smp: Give WARN()ing when calling smp_call_function_many()/single() in serving irq
Currently the functions smp_call_function_many()/single() will give a

enough to guarantee execution of the SMP cross-calls.
In many other cases such as softirq handling/interrupt handling, the two
APIs still can not be called, just as the smp_call_function_many()
comments say:
* You must not call this function with disabled interrupts or from a
* hardware interrupt handler or from a bottom half handler. Preemption
* must be disabled when calling this function.
There is a real case for softirq DEADLOCK case:
CPUA CPUB
spin_lock(&spinlock)
Any irq coming, call the irq handler
irq_exit()
spin_lock_irq(&spinlock)
<== Blocking here due to
CPUB hold it
__do_softirq()
run_timer_softirq()
timer_cb()
call smp_call_function_many()
send IPI interrupt to CPUA
wait_csd()
Then both CPUA and CPUB will be deadlocked here.
So we should give a warning in the nmi, hardirq or softirq context as well.

drop_caches: add some documentation and info message
I would like to resurrect Dave's patch. The last time it was posted was
here https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/16/250 and there didn't seem to be any
strong opposition.
Kosaki was worried about possible excessive logging when somebody drops
caches too often (but then he claimed he didn't have a strong opinion on
that) but I would say opposite. If somebody does that then I would really
like to know that from the log when supporting a system because it almost
for sure means that there is something fishy going on. It is also worth
mentioning that only root can write drop caches so this is not an flooding
attack vector.
I am bringing that up again because this can be really helpful when
chasing strange performance issues which (surprise surprise) turn out to
be related to artificially dropped caches done because the admin thinks
this would help...
I have just refreshed the original patch on top of the current mm tree
but I could live with KERN_INFO as well if people think that KERN_NOTICE
is too hysterical.

We have what we call an "architectural simulator". It is a computer
program that pretends that it is a computer system. We use it to test the
firmware before real hardware is available. We have booted Linux on our
simulator. As you would expect it takes longer to boot on the simulator
than it does on real hardware.
With my patch - boot time 41 minutes
Without patch - boot time 94 minutes
These numbers do not scale linearly to real hardware. But indicate to me
a place where Linux can be improved.
memmap_init_zone() loops through every Page Frame Number (pfn), including
pfn values that are within the gaps between existing memory sections. The
unneeded looping will become a boot performance issue when machines
configure larger memory ranges that will contain larger and more numerous
gaps.
The code will skip across invalid pfn values to reduce the number of loops
executed.

mm: frontswap: lazy initialization to allow tmem backends to build/run as modules
With the goal of allowing tmem backends (zcache, ramster, Xen tmem) to be
built/loaded as modules rather than built-in and enabled by a boot
parameter, this patch provides "lazy initialization", allowing backends to
register to frontswap even after swapon was run. Before a backend
registers all calls to init are recorded and the creation of tmem_pools
delayed until a backend registers or until a frontswap store is attempted.

lglock: update lockdep annotations to report recursive local locks
Oleg Nesterov recently noticed that the lockdep annotations in lglock.c
are not sufficient to detect some obvious deadlocks, such as
lg_local_lock(LOCK) + lg_local_lock(LOCK) or spin_lock(X) +
lg_local_lock(Y) vs lg_local_lock(Y) + spin_lock(X).
Both issues are easily fixed by indicating to lockdep that lglock's local
locks are not recursive. We shouldn't use the rwlock acquire/release
functions here, as lglock doesn't share the same semantics. Instead we
can base our lockdep annotations on the lock_acquire_shared (for local
lglock) and lock_acquire_exclusive (for global lglock) helpers.
I am not proposing new lglock specific helpers as I don't see the point of
the existing second level of helpers :)

scripts/decodecode: make faulting insn ptr more robust
It can accidentally happen that the faulting insn (the exact instruction
bytes) is repeated a little further on in the trace. This causes that
same instruction to be tagged twice, see example below.
What we want to do, however, is to track back from the end of the whole
disassembly so many lines as the slice which starts with the faulting
instruction is long. This leads us to the actual faulting instruction and
*then* we tag it.
While we're at it, we can drop the sed "g" flag because we address only
this one line.
Also, if we point to an instruction which changes decoding depending on
the slice being objdumped, like a Jcc insn, for example, we do not even
tag it as a faulting instruction because the instruction decode changes in
the second slice but we use that second format as a regex on the fsrst
disassembled buffer and more often than not that instruction doesn't
match.
Again, simply tag the line which is deduced from the original "<>" marking
we've received from the kernel.
This also solves the pathologic issue of multiple tagging like this:

sometimes the background is white, sometimes yellow and text colors are

It seems that the HW needs some time before setting the palette - maybe
the PLL needs more time to lock at higher speeds. This patch fixes the
problem but without knowing what register to check for PLL lock(?), the
delay might be excessive.

thinkpad-acpi: kill hotkey_thread_mutex
hotkey_kthread() does try_to_freeze() under hotkey_thread_mutex.
We can simply kill this mutex, hotkey_poll_stop_sync() does not need to
serialize with hotkey_kthread(). When kthread_stop() returns the thread
is already dead, it called do_exit()->complete_vfork_done().

kmsg: honor dmesg_restrict sysctl on /dev/kmsg
Originally, the addition of dmesg_restrict covered both the syslog
method of accessing dmesg, as well as /dev/kmsg itself. This was done
indirectly by security_syslog calling cap_syslog before doing any LSM
checks.
However, commit 12b3052c3ee ("capabilities/syslog: open code cap_syslog
logic to fix build failure") moved the code around and pushed the checks
into the caller itself. That seems to have inadvertently dropped the
checks for dmesg_restrict on /dev/kmsg. Most people haven't noticed
because util-linux dmesg(1) defaults to using the syslog method for access
in older versions. With util-linux 2.22 and a kernel newer than 3.5,
dmesg(1) defaults to reading directly from /dev/kmsg.
Fix this by making an explicit check in the devkmsg_open function.
