sched: Add is_idle_task() to handle invalidated uses of idle_cpu()
Commit 908a3283 (Fix idle_cpu()) invalidated some uses of idle_cpu(),
which used to say whether or not the CPU was running the idle task,
but now instead says whether or not the CPU is running the idle task
in the absence of pending wakeups. Although this new implementation
gives a better answer to the question "is this CPU idle?", it also
invalidates other uses that were made of idle_cpu().
This commit therefore introduces a new is_idle_task() API member
that determines whether or not the specified task is one of the
idle tasks, allowing open-coded "->pid == 0" sequences to be replaced
by something more meaningful.

rcu: Control rcutorture startup from kernel boot parameters
Currently, if rcutorture is built into the kernel, it must be manually
started or started from an init script. This is inconvenient for
automated KVM testing, where it is good to be able to fully control
rcutorture execution from the kernel parameters. This patch therefore
adds a module parameter named "rcutorture_runnable" that defaults
to zero ("don't start automatically"), but which can be set to one
to cause rcutorture to start up immediately during boot.

idle_cpu() will return true if the current CPU is currently running the

The RCU implementations, including SRCU, are designed to be used in a
lock-like fashion, so that the read-side lock and unlock primitives must
execute in the same context for any given read-side critical section.
This constraint is enforced by lockdep-RCU. However, there is a need
to enter an SRCU read-side critical section within the context of an
exception and then exit in the context of the task that encountered the
exception. The cost of this capability is that the read-side operations
incur the overhead of disabling interrupts.
Note that although the current implementation allows a given read-side
critical section to be entered by one task and then exited by another, all
known possible implementations that allow this have scalability problems.
Therefore, a given read-side critical section must be exited by the same
task that entered it, though perhaps from an interrupt or exception
handler running within that task's context. But if you are thinking
in terms of interrupt handlers, make sure that you have considered the
possibility of threaded interrupt handlers.
Credit goes to Peter Zijlstra for suggesting use of the existing _raw
suffix to indicate disabling lockdep over the earlier "bulkref" names.

powerpc: Tell RCU about idle after hcall tracing
The PowerPC pSeries platform (CONFIG_PPC_PSERIES=y) enables

nohz: Separate out irq exit and idle loop dyntick logic
The tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() function, which tries to delay
the next timer tick as long as possible, can be called from two
places:
- From the idle loop to start the dytick idle mode
- From interrupt exit if we have interrupted the dyntick
idle mode, so that we reprogram the next tick event in
case the irq changed some internal state that requires this
action.
There are only few minor differences between both that
are handled by that function, driven by the ts->inidle
cpu variable and the inidle parameter. The whole guarantees
that we only update the dyntick mode on irq exit if we actually
interrupted the dyntick idle mode, and that we enter in RCU extended
quiescent state from idle loop entry only.
Split this function into:
- tick_nohz_idle_enter(), which sets ts->inidle to 1, enters
dynticks idle mode unconditionally if it can, and enters into RCU
extended quiescent state.
- tick_nohz_irq_exit() which only updates the dynticks idle mode
when ts->inidle is set (ie: if tick_nohz_idle_enter() has been called).
To maintain symmetry, tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick() has been renamed
into tick_nohz_idle_exit().
This simplifies the code and micro-optimize the irq exit path (no need
for local_irq_save there). This also prepares for the split between
dynticks and rcu extended quiescent state logics. We'll need this split to
further fix illegal uses of RCU in extended quiescent states in the idle
loop.

rcu: Track idleness independent of idle tasks
Earlier versions of RCU used the scheduling-clock tick to detect idleness
by checking for the idle task, but handled idleness differently for
CONFIG_NO_HZ=y. But there are now a number of uses of RCU read-side
critical sections in the idle task, for example, for tracing. A more
fine-grained detection of idleness is therefore required.
This commit presses the old dyntick-idle code into full-time service,
so that rcu_idle_enter(), previously known as rcu_enter_nohz(), is
always invoked at the beginning of an idle loop iteration. Similarly,
rcu_idle_exit(), previously known as rcu_exit_nohz(), is always invoked
at the end of an idle-loop iteration. This allows the idle task to
use RCU everywhere except between consecutive rcu_idle_enter() and
rcu_idle_exit() calls, in turn allowing architecture maintainers to
specify exactly where in the idle loop that RCU may be used.
Because some of the userspace upcall uses can result in what looks
to RCU like half of an interrupt, it is not possible to expect that
the irq_enter() and irq_exit() hooks will give exact counts. This
patch therefore expands the ->dynticks_nesting counter to 64 bits
and uses two separate bitfields to count process/idle transitions
and interrupt entry/exit transitions. It is presumed that userspace
upcalls do not happen in the idle loop or from usermode execution
(though usermode might do a system call that results in an upcall).
The counter is hard-reset on each process/idle transition, which
avoids the interrupt entry/exit error from accumulating. Overflow
is avoided by the 64-bitness of the ->dyntick_nesting counter.
This commit also adds warnings if a non-idle task asks RCU to enter
idle state (and these checks will need some adjustment before applying
Frederic's OS-jitter patches (http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/10/7/246).

procfs: do not overflow get_{idle,iowait}_time for nohz
Since commit a25cac5198d4 ("proc: Consider NO_HZ when printing idle and
iowait times") we are reporting idle/io_wait time also while a CPU is
tickless. We rely on get_{idle,iowait}_time functions to retrieve
proper data.
These functions, however, use usecs_to_cputime to translate micro
seconds time to cputime64_t. This is just an alias to usecs_to_jiffies
which reduces the data type from u64 to unsigned int and also checks
whether the given parameter overflows jiffies_to_usecs(MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET)
and returns MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET in that case.
When we overflow depends on CONFIG_HZ but especially for CONFIG_HZ_300
it is quite low (1431649781) so we are getting MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET for
>3000s! until we overflow unsigned int. Just for reference
CONFIG_HZ_100 has an overflow window around 20s, CONFIG_HZ_250 ~8s and
CONFIG_HZ_1000 ~2s.
This results in a bug when people saw [h]top going mad reporting 100%
CPU usage even though there was basically no CPU load. The reason was
simply that /proc/stat stopped reporting idle/io_wait changes (and
reported MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET) and so the only change happening was for user
system time.
Let's use nsecs_to_jiffies64 instead which doesn't reduce the precision
to 32b type and it is much more appropriate for cumulative time values
(unlike usecs_to_jiffies which intended for timeout calculations).

The root cause is that 1GB page allocation calls gup_huge_pud() while 2M

tail page, gup_huge_pmd() increases _mapcount to record tail page are

A better approach to this problem is to map the memory region
with the correct attributes from the start, instead of modifying
it after the fact. The uncached case can be handled by
ioremap_nocache() and the cached by ioremap_cache().
Despite first impressions, it's not possible to use
ioremap_cache() to map all cached memory regions on
CONFIG_X86_64 because EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA regions really
don't like being mapped into the vmalloc space, as detailed in
the following bug report,
Therefore, we need to ensure that any EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA
regions are covered by the direct kernel mapping table on
CONFIG_X86_64. To accomplish this we now map E820_RESERVED_EFI
regions via the direct kernel mapping with the initial call to
init_memory_mapping() in setup_arch(), whereas previously these
regions wouldn't be mapped if they were after the last E820_RAM
region until efi_ioremap() was called. Doing it this way allows
us to delete efi_ioremap() completely.

x86, hpet: Immediately disable HPET timer 1 if rtc irq is masked
When HPET is operating in RTC mode, the TN_ENABLE bit on timer1
controls whether the HPET or the RTC delivers interrupts to irq8. When
the system goes into suspend, the RTC driver sends a signal to the
HPET driver so that the HPET releases control of irq8, allowing the
RTC to wake the system from suspend. The switchover is accomplished by
a write to the HPET configuration registers which currently only
occurs while servicing the HPET interrupt.
On some systems, I have seen the system suspend before an HPET
interrupt occurs, preventing the write to the HPET configuration
register and leaving the HPET in control of the irq8. As the HPET is
not active during suspend, it does not generate a wake signal and RTC
alarms do not work.
This patch forces the HPET driver to immediately transfer control of
the irq8 channel to the RTC instead of waiting until the next
interrupt event.

md: take a reference to mddev during sysfs access.
When we are accessing an mddev via sysfs we know that the
mddev cannot disappear because it has an embedded kobj which
is refcounted by sysfs.
And we also take the mddev_lock.
However this is not enough.
The final mddev_put could have been called and the
mddev_delayed_delete is waiting for sysfs to let go so it can destroy
the kobj and mddev.
In this state there are a lot of changes that should not be attempted.
To to guard against this we:
- initialise mddev->all_mddevs in on last put so the state can be
easily detected.
- in md_attr_show and md_attr_store, check ->all_mddevs under
all_mddevs_lock and mddev_get the mddev if it still appears to
be active.
This means that if we get to sysfs as the mddev is being deleted we
will get -EBUSY.
rdev_attr_store and rdev_attr_show are similar but already have
sufficient protection. They check that rdev->mddev still points to
mddev after taking mddev_lock. As this is cleared before delayed
removal which can only be requested under the mddev_lock, this
ensure the rdev and mddev are still alive.

md: refine interpretation of "hold_active == UNTIL_IOCTL".
We like md devices to disappear when they really are not needed.
However it is not possible to tell from the current state whether it
is needed or not. We can only tell from recent history of changes.
In particular immediately after we create an md device it looks very
similar to immediately after we have finished with it.
So we always preserve a newly created md device until something
significant happens. This state is stored in 'hold_active'.
The normal case is to keep it until an ioctl happens, as that will
normally either activate it, or explicitly de-activate it. If it
doesn't then it was probably created by mistake and it is now time to
get rid of it.
We can also modify an array via sysfs (instead of via ioctl) and we
currently treat any change via sysfs like an ioctl as a sign that if
it now isn't more active, it should be destroyed.
However this is not appropriate as changes made via sysfs are more
gradual so we should look for a more definitive change.
So this patch only clears 'hold_active' from UNTIL_IOCTL to clear when
the array_state is changed via sysfs. Other changes via sysfs
are ignored.

Btrfs: try to allocate from cluster even at LOOP_NO_EMPTY_SIZE
If we reach LOOP_NO_EMPTY_SIZE, we won't even try to use a cluster that
others might have set up. Odds are that there won't be one, but if
someone else succeeded in setting it up, we might as well use it, even
if we don't try to set up a cluster again.

PM / Driver core: leave runtime PM enabled during system shutdown
Disabling all runtime PM during system shutdown turns out not to be a
good idea, because some devices may need to be woken up from a
low-power state at that time.
The whole point of disabling runtime PM for system shutdown was to
prevent untimely runtime-suspend method calls. This patch (as1504)
accomplishes the same result by incrementing the usage count for each
device and waiting for ongoing runtime-PM callbacks to finish. This
is what we already do during system suspend and hibernation, which
makes sense since the shutdown method is pretty much a legacy analog
of the pm->poweroff method.
This fixes a recent regression on some OMAP systems introduced by
commit af8db1508f2c9f3b6e633e2d2d906c6557c617f9 (PM / driver core:
disable device's runtime PM during shutdown).

of/irq: Get rid of NO_IRQ usage
PPC32/64 defines NO_IRQ to zero, so no problems expected.
ARM defines NO_IRQ to -1, but OF code relies on IRQ domains support,
which returns correct ('0') value in 'no irq' case. So everything
should be fine.
Other arches might break if some of their OF drivers rely on NO_IRQ
being not 0. If so, the drivers must be fixed, finally.
[ Rob Herring points out that microblaze should be fixed, and has posted
a patch for testing for that. - Linus ]

ALSA: hda/realtek - Fix lost speaker volume controls
When there are the same or more number of HP pins are available, HP pins
are used as the primary outputs instead of the speaker pins. But, in
some cases (especially with ALC663 & co), some DACs are available only
with a later pin and it's assigned to a speaker, and since the driver
parses the pins from the lower NID, such a DAC was skipped eventually
without assignments. This resulted in a regression, the missing speaker
volume control in the new parser.
As a workaround for this, now the driver retries the pin->DAC mapping
again after restoring the speaker-pins as primary. This is still an ad
hoc fix, but it works so far for most of Realtek codecs.

ALSA: hda/realtek - Don't create extra controls with channel suffix
The multiple headphone or speaker pins are usually provided to
output the same stream unlike line-out jacks (which are supposed
to be multi-channel surrounds). Thus giving a mixer name like
"Headphone Surround" is rather confusing. Instead, when multiple
headphone volumes are available, use index with the same "Headphone"
name.
