rcu_dereference_check() use rcu_read_lock_held() as a part of condition
automatically. Therefore, callers of rcu_dereference_check() no longer
need to pass rcu_read_lock_held() to rcu_dereference_check().

There is often a delay between the time that a CPU passes through a
quiescent state and the time that this quiescent state is reported to the
RCU core. It is quite possible that the grace period ended before the
quiescent state could be reported, for example, some other CPU might have
deduced that this CPU passed through dyntick-idle mode. It is critically
important that quiescent state be counted only against the grace period
that was in effect at the time that the quiescent state was detected.
Previously, this was handled by recording the number of the last grace
period to complete when passing through a quiescent state. The RCU
core then checks this number against the current value, and rejects
the quiescent state if there is a mismatch. However, one additional
possibility must be accounted for, namely that the quiescent state was
recorded after the prior grace period completed but before the current
grace period started. In this case, the RCU core must reject the
quiescent state, but the recorded number will match. This is handled
when the CPU becomes aware of a new grace period -- at that point,
it invalidates any prior quiescent state.
This works, but is a bit indirect. The new approach records the current
grace period, and the RCU core checks to see (1) that this is still the
current grace period and (2) that this grace period has not yet ended.
This approach simplifies reasoning about correctness, and this commit
changes over to this new approach.

Added a new option "snoop" for the traffic control of the HD-audio
controller chip. When set to 0, the non-snooping mode is used with
the traffic control bit is set in each stream control register.
This may allow better operations in the low power mode, but the actual
implementation is depending pretty much on the chipset.
As already implemented, more or less each chipset has own snoop-control
register bit. Now this setup refers to the snoop option, too.
Also, a new VIA chipset may require the non-snooping mode when set so
in BIOS. In such a case, the option value is overridden.
As default, it's still set to snoop=1 for keeping the same behavior as
before. In near future, it'll be set to 0 as default after checking
it works in every system well.

The patch raises the hard limit of VCPU count to 254.
This will allow developers to easily work on scalability
and will allow users to test high VCPU setups easily without
patching the kernel.
To prevent possible issues with current setups, KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS
now returns the recommended VCPU limit (which is still 64) - this
should be a safe value for everybody, while a new KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS
returns the hard limit which is now 254.

With commit c814a4c7c4, the meaning of tempX_max
was changed. It no longer returns the value of bits 8:15 of
MSR_IA32_TEMPERATURE_TARGET, but instead returns the value of CPU threshold
register T1. tempX_max_hyst was added to reflect the value of temperature
threshold register T0.
As it turns out, T0 and T1 are used on some systems, presumably by the BIOS.
Also, T0 and T1 don't have a well defined meaning. The thresholds may be used
as upper or lower limits, and it is not guaranteed that T0 <= T1. Thus, the new
attribute mapping does not reflect the actual usage of the threshold registers.
Also, register contents are changed during runtime by an entity other than the
hwmon driver, meaning the values cached by the driver do not reflect actual
register contents.
Revert most of c814a4c7c4 to address the problem.
Support for T0 and T1 will be added back in with a separate commit, using new
attribute names.

On the platforms which are x2apic and interrupt-remapping
capable, Linux kernel is enabling x2apic even if the BIOS
doesn't. This is to take advantage of the features that x2apic
brings in.
Some of the OEM platforms are running into issues because of
this, as their bios is not x2apic aware. For example, this was
resulting in interrupt migration issues on one of the platforms.
Also if the BIOS SMI handling uses APIC interface to send SMI's,
then the BIOS need to be aware of x2apic mode that OS has
enabled.
On some of these platforms, BIOS doesn't have a HW mechanism to
turnoff the x2apic feature to prevent OS from enabling it.
To resolve this mess, recent changes to the VT-d2 specification:
http://download.intel.com/technology/computing/vptech/Intel(r)_VT_for_Direct_IO.pdf
includes a mechanism that provides BIOS a way to request system
software to opt out of enabling x2apic mode.
Look at the x2apic optout flag in the DMAR tables before
enabling the x2apic mode in the platform. Also print a warning
that we have disabled x2apic based on the BIOS request.
Kernel boot parameter "intremap=no_x2apic_optout" can be used to
override the BIOS x2apic optout request.

This patch improves the logic determining when to send ICMPv6 Router
Solicitations, so that they are 1) always sent when the kernel is
accepting Router Advertisements, and 2) never sent when the kernel is
not accepting RAs. In other words, the operational setting of the
"accept_ra" sysctl is used.
The change also makes the special "Hybrid Router" forwarding mode
("forwarding" sysctl set to 2) operate exactly the same as the standard
Router mode (forwarding=1). The only difference between the two was
that RSes was being sent in the Hybrid Router mode only. The sysctl
documentation describing the special Hybrid Router mode has therefore
been removed.
Rationale for the change:
Currently, the value of forwarding sysctl is the only thing determining
whether or not to send RSes. If it has the value 0 or 2, they are sent,
otherwise they are not. This leads to inconsistent behaviour in the
following cases:
* accept_ra=0, forwarding=0
* accept_ra=0, forwarding=2
* accept_ra=1, forwarding=2
* accept_ra=2, forwarding=1
In the first three cases, the kernel will send RSes, even though it will
not accept any RAs received in reply. In the last case, it will not send
any RSes, even though it will accept and process any RAs received. (Most
routers will send unsolicited RAs periodically, so suppressing RSes in
the last case will merely delay auto-configuration, not prevent it.)
Also, it is my opinion that having the forwarding sysctl control RS
sending behaviour (completely independent of whether RAs are being
accepted or not) is simply not what most users would intuitively expect
to be the case.

Revert the post-3.0 commit 82f9d486e5 ("memcg: add
memory.vmscan_stat").
The implementation of per-memcg reclaim statistics violates how memcg
hierarchies usually behave: hierarchically.
The reclaim statistics are accounted to child memcgs and the parent
hitting the limit, but not to hierarchy levels in between. Usually,
hierarchical statistics are perfectly recursive, with each level
representing the sum of itself and all its children.
Since this exports statistics to userspace, this may lead to confusion
and problems with changing things after the release, so revert it now,
we can try again later.

The semantics of snd_mpu401_uart_new()'s interrupt parameters are
somewhat counterintuitive: To prevent the function from allocating its
own interrupt, either the irq number must be invalid, or the irq_flags
parameter must be zero. At the same time, the irq parameter being
invalid specifies that the mpu401 code has to work without an interrupt
allocated by the caller. This implies that, if there is an interrupt
and it is allocated by the caller, the irq parameter must be set to
a valid-looking number which then isn't actually used.
With the removal of IRQF_DISABLED, zero becomes a valid irq_flags value,
which forces us to handle the parameters differently.
This patch introduces a new flag MPU401_INFO_IRQ_HOOK for when the
device interrupt is handled by the caller, and makes the allocation of
the interrupt to depend only on the irq parameter. As suggested by
Takashi, the irq_flags parameter was dropped because, when used, it had
the constant value IRQF_DISABLED.

Enables page fault based detection of mmap writes to the framebuffer,
which allows standard fbdev apps (like the generic fbdev xorg driver)
to work on DisplayLink devices.
Not all bugs are shaken out of the fb_defio path of udlfb, but it's
tantalizingly close, so this seems a good time to enable by default.
Alternatively, option can be disabled when running with an xorg driver
that can more directly communicate damaged regions of the framebuffer
via IOCTL. This is a simpler, higher perf option, when available.

By default, udlfb allocates a 2nd buffer to shadow what's across
the bus on the USB device. It can operate without this shadow,
but then it cannot tell which pixels have changed, and must send all.
Saves host memory, but worsens the USB 2.0 bus bottleneck.
This option allows users in very low memory situations (e.g.
bifferboard) to optionally turn off this shadow framebuffer.

The DesignWare USB3 is a highly
configurable IP Core which can be
instantiated as Dual-Role Device (DRD),
Peripheral Only and Host Only (XHCI)
configurations.
Several other parameters can be configured
like amount of FIFO space, amount of TX and
RX endpoints, amount of Host Interrupters,
etc.
The current driver has been validated with
a virtual model of version 1.73a of that core
and with an FPGA burned with version 1.83a
of the DRD core. We have support for PCIe
bus, which is used on FPGA prototyping, and
for the OMAP5, more adaptation (or glue)
layers can be easily added and the driver
is half prepared to handle any possible
configuration the HW engineer has chosen
considering we have the information on
one of the GHWPARAMS registers to do
runtime checking of certain features.
More runtime checks can, and should, be added
in order to make this driver even more flexible
with regards to number of endpoints, FIFO sizes,
transfer types, etc.
While this supports only the device side, for
now, we will add support for Host side (xHCI -
see the updated series Sebastian has sent [1])
and OTG after we have it all stabilized.

Some of the entry points to pm runtime are not safe to
call in atomic context unless pm_runtime_irq_safe() has
been called. Inspecting the code, it is not immediately
obvious that the functions sleep at all, as they run
inside a spin_lock_irqsave, but under some conditions
they can drop the lock and turn on irqs.
If a driver incorrectly calls the pm_runtime apis, it can
cause sleeping and irq processing when it expects to stay
in atomic context.
Add might_sleep_if to the majority of the __pm_runtime_* entry points
to enforce correct usage.

fault traps, tested in the bad_area path. The actual contents of
the vsyscall page is the same as the vsyscall=native case except
that it's marked NX. This way programs that make assumptions about

Currently the use of pm_runtime_put_sync() is not safe from
interrupts-disabled context because rpm_idle() will release the
spinlock and enable interrupts for the idle callbacks. This enables
interrupts during a time where interrupts were expected to be
disabled, and can have strange side effects on drivers that expected
interrupts to be disabled.
This is not a bug since the documentation clearly states that only
_put_sync_suspend() is safe in IRQ-safe mode.
However, pm_runtime_put_sync() could be made safe when in IRQ-safe
mode by releasing the spinlock but not re-enabling interrupts, which
is what this patch aims to do.
Problem was found when using some buggy drivers that set
pm_runtime_irq_safe() and used _put_sync() in interrupts-disabled
context.

This patch provides performance tuning for the "Bulldozer" CPU. With its
shared instruction cache there is a chance of generating an excessive
number of cache cross-invalidates when running specific workloads on the
cores of a compute module.
This excessive amount of cross-invalidations can be observed if cache
lines backed by shared physical memory alias in bits [14:12] of their
virtual addresses, as those bits are used for the index generation.
This patch addresses the issue by clearing all the bits in the [14:12]
slice of the file mapping's virtual address at generation time, thus
forcing those bits the same for all mappings of a single shared library
across processes and, in doing so, avoids instruction cache aliases.
It also adds the command line option "align_va_addr=(32|64|on|off)" with
which virtual address alignment can be enabled for 32-bit or 64-bit x86
individually, or both, or be completely disabled.
This change leaves virtual region address allocation on other families
and/or vendors unaffected.
