Pull nouveau destaging + Kelper modesetting support from Dave Airlie:
"This pull request is unexpected and not something I had mentioned
previously.
So NVIDIA announced new Kepler GPUs this morning, and Ben has killed
himself getting modesetting support for them together to have on
launch day. Most of the code to support the new chips has already
gone in, however this pull contains a few more pieces along with the
final enables so the driver binds to the new Kepler cards. Its quite
amazing that nouveau can support a GPU on its launch day even if its
just unaccelerated modesetting, and I'd like to have support in the
next kernel.
In order to sweeten the deal, Ben has also requested nouveau destage
and become ABI stable, the only change is the version number bump
which he prepared userspace for quite a long time ago. The driver
hasn't broken ABI since that one big break that caused a lot of fuss.
It's also quite a small set of code, and not likely to break anything."

Pull drm main changes from Dave Airlie:
"This is the main drm pull request, I'm probably going to send two more
smaller ones, will explain below.
This contains a patch that is also in the fbdev tree, but it should be
the same patch, it added an API for hot unplugging framebuffer
devices, and I need that API for a new driver.
It also contains some changes to the i2c tree which Jean has acked,
and one change to moorestown platform stuff in x86.
Highlights:
- new drivers: UDL driver for USB displaylink devices, kms only,
should support correct hotplug operations.
- core: i2c speedups + better hotplug support, EDID overriding via
firmware interface - allows user to load a firmware for a broken
monitor/kvm from userspace, it even has documentation for it.
- exynos: new HDMI audio + hdmi 1.4 + virtual output driver
- gma500: code cleanup
- radeon: cleanups, CS optimisations, streamout support and pageflip
fix
- nouveau: NVD9 displayport support + more reclocking work
- i915: re-enabling GMBUS, finish gpu patch (might help hibernation
who knows), missed irq fixes, stencil tiling fixes, interlaced
support, aliasesd PPGTT support for SNB/IVB, swizzling for SNB/IVB,
semaphore fixes
As well as the usual bunch of cleanups and fixes all over the place.
I've got two things I'd like to merge a bit later:
a) AMD support for all their new radeonhd 7000 series GPU and APUs.
AMD dropped this a bit late due to insane internal review
processes, (please AMD just follow Intel and let open source guys
ship stuff early) however I don't want to penalise people who own
this hardware (since its been on sale for 3-4 months and GPU hw
doesn't exactly have a lifetime in years) and consign them to
using closed drivers for longer than necessary. The changes are
well contained and just plug into the driver new gpu functionality
so they should be fairly regression proof. I just want to give
them a bit of a run on the hw AMD kindly sent me.
b) drm prime/dma-buf interface code. This is just infrastructure
code to expose the dma-buf stuff to drm drivers and to userspace.
I'm not planning on pushing any driver support in this cycle
(except maybe exynos), but I'd like to get the infrastructure code
in so for the next cycle I can start getting the driver support
into the individual drivers. We have started driver support for
i915, nouveau and udl along with I think exynos and omap in
staging. However this code relies on the dma-buf tree being
pulled into your tree first since it needs the latest interfaces
from that tree. I'll push to get that tree sent asap.
(oh and any warnings you see in i915 are gcc's fault from what anyone
can see)."
Fix up trivial conflicts in arch/x86/platform/mrst/mrst.c due to the new
msic_thermal_platform_data() thermal function being added next to the
tc35876x_platform_data() i2c device function..

Merge tag 'sound-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound
Pull updates of sound stuff from Takashi Iwai:
"Here is the first big update chunk of sound stuff for 3.4-rc1.
In the common sound infrastructure, there are a few changes for
dynamic PCM support (used in ASoC) and a few clean-ups. Majority of
changes are found, as usual, in HD-audio and ASoC.
Some highlights of HD-audio changes:
- All the long-standing static quirk codes for Realtek codec were
finally removed by fixing and extending the Realtek auto-parser.
- The mute-LED control is standardized over all HD-audio codec
drivers using the extended vmaster hook.
- The vmaster slave mixer elements are initialized to 0dB as default
so that the user won't be annoyed by the silent output after
updates, e.g. due to the additions of new elements.
- Other many fix-ups for the misc HD-audio devices.
In the ASoC side, this is a very active release, including a quite a
few framework enhancements. Some highlights:
- Support for widgets not associated with a CODEC, an important part
of the dynamic PCM framework.
- A library factoring out the common code shared by dmaengine based
DMA drivers contributed by Lars-Peter Clausen. This will save a
lot of code and make it much easier to deploy enhancements to
dmaengine.
- Support for binary controls, used for providing runtime
configuration of algorithm coefficients.
- A new DAPM widget type for regulator supplies allowing drivers for
devices that can power down unused supplies while active to do
without any per-driver code.
- DAPM widgets for DAIs, initially giving a speed boost for playback
startup and shutdown and also the basis for CODEC<->CODEC DAI link
support.
- Support for specifying the number of significant bits on audio
interfaces, useful for allowing applications to know how much
effort to put into generating data for a larger sample format.
- Conversion of the FSI driver used on some SH processors to
DMAEngine.
- Conversion of EP93xx drivers to DMAEngine.
- New CODEC drivers for Maxim MAX9768 and Wolfson Microelectronics
WM2200.
- Move audmux driver from arc/arm to sound/soc
- McBSP move from arch/ to sound/ and updates
Also, a few small updates and fixes for other drivers like au88x0,
ymfpci, USB 6fire, USB usx2yaudio are included."

"Here's the powerpc batch for this merge window. It is going to be a
bit more nasty than usual as in touching things outside of
arch/powerpc mostly due to the big iSeriesectomy :-) We finally got
rid of the bugger (legacy iSeries support) which was a PITA to
maintain and that nobody really used anymore.
Here are some of the highlights:
- Legacy iSeries is gone. Thanks Stephen ! There's still some bits
and pieces remaining if you do a grep -ir series arch/powerpc but
they are harmless and will be removed in the next few weeks
hopefully.
- The 'fadump' functionality (Firmware Assisted Dump) replaces the
previous (equivalent) "pHyp assisted dump"... it's a rewrite of a
mechanism to get the hypervisor to do crash dumps on pSeries, the
new implementation hopefully being much more reliable. Thanks
Mahesh Salgaonkar.
- The "EEH" code (pSeries PCI error handling & recovery) got a big
spring cleaning, motivated by the need to be able to implement a
new backend for it on top of some new different type of firwmare.
The work isn't complete yet, but a good chunk of the cleanups is
there. Note that this adds a field to struct device_node which is
not very nice and which Grant objects to. I will have a patch soon
that moves that to a powerpc private data structure (hopefully
before rc1) and we'll improve things further later on (hopefully
getting rid of the need for that pointer completely). Thanks Gavin
Shan.
- I dug into our exception & interrupt handling code to improve the
way we do lazy interrupt handling (and make it work properly with
"edge" triggered interrupt sources), and while at it found & fixed
a wagon of issues in those areas, including adding support for page
fault retry & fatal signals on page faults.
- Your usual random batch of small fixes & updates, including a bunch
of new embedded boards, both Freescale and APM based ones, etc..."

memcg: fix performance of mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat()
mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() should be very fast because it's
called very frequently. Now, it needs to look up page_cgroup and its
memcg....this is slow.
This patch adds a global variable to check "any memcg is moving or not".
With this, the caller doesn't need to visit page_cgroup and memcg.
Here is a test result. A test program makes page faults onto a file,
MAP_SHARED and makes each page's page_mapcount(page) > 1, and free the
range by madvise() and page fault again. This program causes 26214400
times of page fault onto a file(size was 1G.) and shows shows the cost of
mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat().
Before this patch for mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat()
Now, page-stat-per-memcg is recorded into per page_cgroup flag by
duplicating page's status into the flag. The reason is that memcg has a
feature to move a page from a group to another group and we have race
between "move" and "page stat accounting",
Under current logic, assume CPU-A and CPU-B. CPU-A does "move" and CPU-B
does "page stat accounting".
When CPU-A goes 1st,
CPU-A CPU-B
update "struct page" info.
move_lock_mem_cgroup(memcg)
see pc->flags
copy page stat to new group
overwrite pc->mem_cgroup.
move_unlock_mem_cgroup(memcg)
move_lock_mem_cgroup(mem)
set pc->flags
update page stat accounting
move_unlock_mem_cgroup(mem)
stat accounting is guarded by move_lock_mem_cgroup() and "move" logic
(CPU-A) doesn't see changes in "struct page" information.
But it's costly to have the same information both in 'struct page' and
'struct page_cgroup'. And, there is a potential problem.
For example, assume we have PG_dirty accounting in memcg.
PG_..is a flag for struct page.
PCG_ is a flag for struct page_cgroup.
(This is just an example. The same problem can be found in any
kind of page stat accounting.)
CPU-A CPU-B
TestSet PG_dirty
(delay) TestClear PG_dirty
if (TestClear(PCG_dirty))
memcg->nr_dirty--
if (TestSet(PCG_dirty))
memcg->nr_dirty++
Here, memcg->nr_dirty = +1, this is wrong. This race was reported by Greg
Thelen <gthelen@google.com>. Now, only FILE_MAPPED is supported but
fortunately, it's serialized by page table lock and this is not real bug,
_now_,
If this potential problem is caused by having duplicated information in
struct page and struct page_cgroup, we may be able to fix this by using
original 'struct page' information. But we'll have a problem in "move
account"
accounting information may be double-counted. This was original reason to
have PCG_xxx flags but it seems PCG_xxx has another problem.
I think we need a bigger lock as
move_lock_mem_cgroup(page)
TestSetPageDirty(page)
update page stats (without any checks)
move_unlock_mem_cgroup(page)
This fixes both of problems and we don't have to duplicate page flag into
page_cgroup. Please note: move_lock_mem_cgroup() is held only when there
are possibility of "account move" under the system. So, in most path,
status update will go without atomic locks.
This patch introduces mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() and
mem_cgroup_end_update_page_stat() both should be called at modifying
'struct page' information if memcg takes care of it. as
mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat()
modify page information
mem_cgroup_update_page_stat()
=> never check any 'struct page' info, just update counters.
mem_cgroup_end_update_page_stat().
This patch is slow because we need to call begin_update_page_stat()/
end_update_page_stat() regardless of accounted will be changed or not. A
following patch adds an easy optimization and reduces the cost.

We record 'the page is cache' with the PCG_CACHE bit in page_cgroup.
Here, "CACHE" means anonymous user pages (and SwapCache). This doesn't
include shmem.
Considering callers, at charge/uncharge, the caller should know what the
page is and we don't need to record it by using one bit per page.
This patch removes PCG_CACHE bit and make callers of
mem_cgroup_charge_statistics() to specify what the page is.
About page migration: Mapping of the used page is not touched during migra
tion (see page_remove_rmap) so we can rely on it and push the correct
charge type down to __mem_cgroup_uncharge_common from end_migration for
unused page. The force flag was misleading was abused for skipping the
needless page_mapped() / PageCgroupMigration() check, as we know the
unused page is no longer mapped and cleared the migration flag just a few
lines up. But doing the checks is no biggie and it's not worth adding
another flag just to skip them.

the low-level page handling code, in particular from free_huge_page().
This is a layering violation of itself, but more importantly, if the
kernel does a get_user_pages() on hugepages (which can happen from KVM
amongst others), then the free_huge_page() can be delayed until after the
associated inode has already been freed. If an unmount occurs at the
wrong time, even the hugetlbfs superblock where the "quota" limits are
stored may have been freed.
Andrew Barry proposed a patch to fix this by having hugepages, instead of
storing a pointer to their address_space and reaching the superblock from
there, had the hugepages store pointers directly to the superblock,
bumping the reference count as appropriate to avoid it being freed.
Andrew Morton rejected that version, however, on the grounds that it made
the existing layering violation worse.
This is a reworked version of Andrew's patch, which removes the extra, and
some of the existing, layering violation. It works by introducing the
concept of a hugepage "subpool" at the lower hugepage mm layer - that is a
finite logical pool of hugepages to allocate from. hugetlbfs now creates
a subpool for each filesystem instance with a page limit set, and a
pointer to the subpool gets added to each allocated hugepage, instead of
the address_space pointer used now. The subpool has its own lifetime and
is only freed once all pages in it _and_ all other references to it (i.e.
superblocks) are gone.
subpools are optional - a NULL subpool pointer is taken by the code to
mean that no subpool limits are in effect.
Previous discussion of this bug found in: "Fix refcounting in hugetlbfs
quota handling.". See: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/8/11/28 or
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=126928970510627&w=1
v2: Fixed a bug spotted by Hillf Danton, and removed the extra parameter to
alloc_huge_page() - since it already takes the vma, it is not necessary.

cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3
Commit c0ff7453bb5c ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when
changing cpuset's mems") wins a super prize for the largest number of
memory barriers entered into fast paths for one commit.
[get|put]_mems_allowed is incredibly heavy with pairs of full memory
barriers inserted into a number of hot paths. This was detected while
investigating at large page allocator slowdown introduced some time
after 2.6.32. The largest portion of this overhead was shown by
oprofile to be at an mfence introduced by this commit into the page
allocator hot path.
For extra style points, the commit introduced the use of yield() in an
implementation of what looks like a spinning mutex.
This patch replaces the full memory barriers on both read and write
sides with a sequence counter with just read barriers on the fast path
side. This is much cheaper on some architectures, including x86. The
main bulk of the patch is the retry logic if the nodemask changes in a
manner that can cause a false failure.
While updating the nodemask, a check is made to see if a false failure
is a risk. If it is, the sequence number gets bumped and parallel
allocators will briefly stall while the nodemask update takes place.
In a page fault test microbenchmark, oprofile samples from
__alloc_pages_nodemask went from 4.53% of all samples to 1.15%. The
actual results were
The overall improvement is small but the System CPU time is much
improved and roughly in correlation to what oprofile reported (these
performance figures are without profiling so skew is expected). The
actual number of page faults is noticeably improved.
For benchmarks like kernel builds, the overall benefit is marginal but
the system CPU time is slightly reduced.
To test the actual bug the commit fixed I opened two terminals. The
first ran within a cpuset and continually ran a small program that
faulted 100M of anonymous data. In a second window, the nodemask of the
cpuset was continually randomised in a loop.
Without the commit, the program would fail every so often (usually
within 10 seconds) and obviously with the commit everything worked fine.
With this patch applied, it also worked fine so the fix should be
functionally equivalent.

hugetlbfs: avoid taking i_mutex from hugetlbfs_read()
Taking i_mutex in hugetlbfs_read() can result in deadlock with mmap as
explained below
Thread A:
read() on hugetlbfs
hugetlbfs_read() called
i_mutex grabbed
hugetlbfs_read_actor() called
__copy_to_user() called
page fault is triggered
Thread B, sharing address space with A:
mmap() the same file
->mmap_sem is grabbed on task_B->mm->mmap_sem
hugetlbfs_file_mmap() is called
attempt to grab ->i_mutex and block waiting for A to give it up
Thread A:
pagefault handled blocked on attempt to grab task_A->mm->mmap_sem,
which happens to be the same thing as task_B->mm->mmap_sem. Block waiting
for B to give it up.
AFAIU the i_mutex locking was added to hugetlbfs_read() as per
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0707.2/3066.html to take
care of the race between truncate and read. This patch fixes this by
looking at page->mapping under lock_page() (find_lock_page()) to ensure
that the inode didn't get truncated in the range during a parallel read.
Ideally we can extend the patch to make sure we don't increase i_size in
mmap. But that will break userspace, because applications will now have
to use truncate(2) to increase i_size in hugetlbfs.
This is on a system with 8TB available via the AMS pool, and as a quirk
of AMS in firmware, all of that memory shows up in node 0. So, we end
up with an allocation that will fail the goal/limit constraints.
In theory, we could "fall-back" to alloc_bootmem_node() in
sparse_early_usemaps_alloc_node(), but since we actually have HOTREMOVE
defined, we'll BUG_ON() instead. A simple solution appears to be to
unconditionally remove the limit condition in alloc_bootmem_section,
meaning allocations are allowed to cross section boundaries (necessary
for systems of this size).
Johannes Weiner pointed out that if alloc_bootmem_section() no longer
guarantees section-locality, we need check_usemap_section_nr() to print
possible cross-dependencies between node descriptors and the usemaps
allocated through it. That makes the two loops in
sparse_early_usemaps_alloc_node() identical, so re-factor the code a
bit.

The following patch extend the period of the rcu_read_lock until after the
permissions checks are done. We also take a refcount so that the task
reference is stable when calling security check functions and performing
cpuset node validation (which takes a mutex).
The refcount is dropped before actual page migration occurs so there is no
change to the refcounts held during page migration.
Also move the determination of the mm of the task struct to immediately
before the do_migrate*() calls so that it is clear that we switch from
handling the task during permission checks to the mm for the actual
migration. Since the determination is only done once and we then no
longer use the task_struct we can be sure that we operate on a specific
address space that will not change from under us.

procfs: mark thread stack correctly in proc/<pid>/maps
Stack for a new thread is mapped by userspace code and passed via
sys_clone. This memory is currently seen as anonymous in
/proc/<pid>/maps, which makes it difficult to ascertain which mappings
are being used for thread stacks. This patch uses the individual task
stack pointers to determine which vmas are actually thread stacks.
Here, one could guess that 7f8a44492000-7f8a44c92000 is a stack since
the earlier vma that has no permissions (7f8a44e3d000-7f8a4503d000) but
that is not always a reliable way to find out which vma is a thread
stack. Also, /proc/PID/maps and /proc/PID/task/TID/maps has the same
content.
With this patch in place, /proc/PID/task/TID/maps are treated as 'maps
as the task would see it' and hence, only the vma that that task uses as
stack is marked as [stack]. All other 'stack' vmas are marked as
anonymous memory. /proc/PID/maps acts as a thread group level view,
where all thread stack vmas are marked as [stack:TID] where TID is the
process ID of the task that uses that vma as stack, while the process
stack is marked as [stack].
Thus marking all vmas that are used as stacks by the threads in the
thread group along with the process stack. The task level maps will
however like this:
where only the vma that is being used as a stack by *that* task is
marked as [stack].

/proc/PID/numa_maps, /proc/PID/task/TID/smaps and

machines with large amounts of highmem that lowmem can be fully consumed

The following patch is based on a suggestion by Andrew Morton to extend
