Michal Simek 9e58143dc0 asm-generic: use raw_local_irq_save/restore instead local_irq_save/restore
The start/stop_critical_timing functions for preemptirqsoff, preemptoff
and irqsoff tracers contain atomic_inc() and atomic_dec() operations.

Atomic operations use local_irq_save/restore macros to ensure atomic
access but they are traced by the same function which is causing recursion
problem.

The reason is when these tracers are turn ON then the
local_irq_save/restore macros are changed in include/linux/irqflags.h to
call trace_hardirqs_on/off which call start/stop_critical_timing.

Microblaze was affected because it uses generic atomic implementation.

Eric Paris ecf081d1a7 vfs: introduce FMODE_NONOTIFY
This is a new f_mode which can only be set by the kernel.  It indicates
that the fd was opened by fanotify and should not cause future fanotify
events.  This is needed to prevent fanotify livelock.  An example of
obvious livelock is from fanotify close events.

Process A closes file1
This creates a close event for file1.
fanotify opens file1 for Listener X
Listener X deals with the event and closes its fd for file1.
This creates a close event for file1.
fanotify opens file1 for Listener X
Listener X deals with the event and closes its fd for file1.
This creates a close event for file1.
fanotify opens file1 for Listener X
Listener X deals with the event and closes its fd for file1.
notice a pattern?

The fix is to add the FMODE_NONOTIFY bit to the open filp done by the kernel
for fanotify.  Thus when that file is used it will not generate future
events.

This patch simply defines the bit.

Sam Ravnborg da5e37efe8 vmlinux.lds: fix .data..init_task output section (fix popwerpc boot)
The .data..init_task output section was missing
a load offset causing a popwerpc target to fail to boot.

Sean MacLennan tracked it down to the definition of
INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION().

There are only two users of INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION()
in the kernel today: cris and popwerpc.
cris do not support relocatable kernels and is thus not
impacted by this change.

Fix INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION() to specify load offset like
all other output sections.

Sam Ravnborg 07fca0e57f tracing: Properly align linker defined symbols
We define a number of symbols in the linker scipt like this:

    __start_syscalls_metadata = .;
    *(__syscalls_metadata)

But we do not know the alignment of "." when we assign
the __start_syscalls_metadata symbol.
gcc started to uses bigger alignment for structs (32 bytes),
so we saw situations where the linker due to alignment
constraints increased the value of "." after the symbol assignment.

This resulted in boot fails.

Fix this by forcing a 32 byte alignment of "." before the
assignment.

This patch introduces the forced alignment for
ftrace_events and syscalls_metadata.
It may be required in more places.

Grant Likely 594fa265e0 of/gpio: stop using device_node data pointer to find gpio_chip
Currently the kernel uses the struct device_node.data pointer to resolve
a struct gpio_chip pointer from a device tree node.  However, the .data
member doesn't provide any type checking and there aren't any rules
enforced on what it should be used for.  There's no guarantee that the
data stored in it actually points to an gpio_chip pointer.

Instead of relying on the .data pointer, this patch modifies the code
to add a lookup function which scans through the registered gpio_chips
and returns the gpio_chip that has a pointer to the specified
device_node.

Anton Vorontsov a19e3da5bc of/gpio: Kill of_gpio_chip and add members directly to gpio_chip
The OF gpio infrastructure is great for describing GPIO connections within
the device tree.  However, using a GPIO binding still requires changes to
the gpio controller just to add an of_gpio structure.  In most cases, the
gpio controller doesn't actually need any special support and the simple
OF gpio mapping function is more than sufficient.  Additional, the current
scheme of using of_gpio_chip requires a convoluted scheme to maintain
1:1 mappings between of_gpio_chip and gpio_chip instances.

If the struct of_gpio_chip data members were moved into struct gpio_chip,
then it would simplify the processing of OF gpio bindings, and it would
make it trivial to use device tree OF connections on existing gpiolib
controller drivers.

This patch eliminates the of_gpio_chip structure and moves the relevant
fields into struct gpio_chip (conditional on CONFIG_OF_GPIO).  This move
simplifies the existing code and prepares for adding automatic device tree
support to existing drivers.

Chris Metcalf b51cae21ee Add wait4() back to the set of <asm-generic/unistd.h> syscalls.
The initial pass at the generic ABI assumed that wait4() could be
easily expressed using waitid().  Although it's true that wait4()
can be built on waitid(), it's awkward enough that it makes more
sense to continue to include wait4 in the generic syscall ABI.

Since there is already a deprecated wait4 in the ABI, this change
converts that wait4 into old_wait, and puts wait4 in the next
available slot for new supported syscalls, after the platform-specific
syscalls at number 260.

Lee Schermerhorn 7aac789885 numa: introduce numa_mem_id()- effective local memory node id
Introduce numa_mem_id(), based on generic percpu variable infrastructure
to track "nearest node with memory" for archs that support memoryless
nodes.

Define API in <linux/topology.h> when CONFIG_HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES
defined, else stubs.  Architectures will define HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES
if/when they support them.

Archs can override definitions of:

numa_mem_id() - returns node number of "local memory" node
set_numa_mem() - initialize [this cpus'] per cpu variable 'numa_mem'
cpu_to_mem()  - return numa_mem for specified cpu; may be used as lvalue

Generic initialization of 'numa_mem' occurs in __build_all_zonelists().
This will initialize the boot cpu at boot time, and all cpus on change of
numa_zonelist_order, or when node or memory hot-plug requires zonelist
rebuild.  Archs that support memoryless nodes will need to initialize
'numa_mem' for secondary cpus as they're brought on-line.

Felipe Balbi c4b5be98fe gpiolib: introduce set_debounce method
A few architectures, like OMAP, allow you to set a debouncing time for the
gpio before generating the IRQ.  Teach gpiolib about that.

Mark said:
: This would be generally useful for embedded systems, especially where
: the interrupt concerned is a wake source.  It allows drivers to avoid
: spurious interrupts from noisy sources so if the hardware supports it
: the driver can avoid having to explicitly wait for the signal to become
: stable and software has to cope with fewer events.  We've lived without
: it for quite some time, though.

David said:
: I looked at adding debounce support to the generic GPIO calls (and thus
: gpiolib) some time back, but decided against it.  I forget why at this
: time (check list archives) but it wasn't because of lack of utility in
: certain contexts.
:
: One thing to watch out for is just how variable the hardware capabilities
: are.  Atmel GPIOs have something like a fixed number of 32K clock cycles
: for debounce, twl4030 had something odd, OMAPs were more like the Atmel
: chips but with a different clock.  In some cases debouncing had to be
: ganged, not per-GPIO.  And so forth.

Peter Fritzsche 37682177af asm-generic: don't warn that atomic_t is only 24 bit
32-bit Sparc used to only allow usage of 24-bit of it's atomic_t type.
This was corrected with linux 2.6.3 when Keith M Wesolowski changed the
implementation to use the parisc approach of having an array of spinlocks
to protect the atomic_t.

These warnings were also removed from the sparc implementation when the
new implementation was merged in BKrev:402e4949VThdc6D3iaosSFUgabMfvw, but
the warning still remained in some other places without any 24-bit-only
atomic_t implementation inside the kernel.

We should remove these warnings to allow users to rely on the full 32-bit
range of atomic_t.

WARN() is used in some places to report firmware or hardware bugs that
are then worked-around.  These bugs do not affect the stability of the
kernel and should not set the flag for TAINT_WARN.  To allow for this,
add WARN_TAINT() and WARN_TAINT_ONCE() macros that take a taint number
as argument.

Architectures that implement warnings using trap instructions instead
of calls to warn_slowpath_*() now implement __WARN_TAINT(taint)

Jie Zhang ea63763959 nommu: fix malloc performance by adding uninitialized flag
The NOMMU code currently clears all anonymous mmapped memory.  While this
is what we want in the default case, all memory allocation from userspace
under NOMMU has to go through this interface, including malloc() which is
allowed to return uninitialized memory.  This can easily be a significant
performance penalty.  So for constrained embedded systems were security is
irrelevant, allow people to avoid clearing memory unnecessarily.

This also alters the ELF-FDPIC binfmt such that it obtains uninitialised
memory for the brk and stack region.

Alan Jenkins 9e1b9b8072 module: make MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX into a CONFIG option
The next commit will require the use of MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX in
.tmp_exports-asm.S.  Currently it is mixed in with C structure
definitions in "asm/module.h".  Move the definition of this arch option
into Kconfig, so it can be easily accessed by any code.

This also lets modpost.c use the same definition.  Previously modpost
relied on a hardcoded list of architectures in mk_elfconfig.c.

A build test for blackfin, one of the two MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX archs,
showed the generated code was unchanged.  vmlinux was identical save
for build ids, and an apparently randomized suffix on a single "__key"
symbol in the kallsyms data).

Christoph Hellwig 6b2f3d1f76 vfs: Implement proper O_SYNC semantics
While Linux provided an O_SYNC flag basically since day 1, it took until
Linux 2.4.0-test12pre2 to actually get it implemented for filesystems,
since that day we had generic_osync_around with only minor changes and the
great "For now, when the user asks for O_SYNC, we'll actually give
O_DSYNC" comment.  This patch intends to actually give us real O_SYNC
semantics in addition to the O_DSYNC semantics.  After Jan's O_SYNC
patches which are required before this patch it's actually surprisingly
simple, we just need to figure out when to set the datasync flag to
vfs_fsync_range and when not.

This patch renames the existing O_SYNC flag to O_DSYNC while keeping it's
numerical value to keep binary compatibility, and adds a new real O_SYNC
flag.  To guarantee backwards compatiblity it is defined as expanding to
both the O_DSYNC and the new additional binary flag (__O_SYNC) to make
sure we are backwards-compatible when compiled against the new headers.

This also means that all places that don't care about the differences can
just check O_DSYNC and get the right behaviour for O_SYNC, too - only
places that actuall care need to check __O_SYNC in addition.  Drivers and
network filesystems have been updated in a fail safe way to always do the
full sync magic if O_DSYNC is set.  The few places setting O_SYNC for
lower layers are kept that way for now to stay failsafe.

We enforce that O_DSYNC is set when __O_SYNC is set early in the open path
to make sure we always get these sane options.

Note that parisc really screwed up their headers as they already define a
O_DSYNC that has always been a no-op.  We try to repair it by using it for
the new O_DSYNC and redefinining O_SYNC to send both the traditional
O_SYNC numerical value _and_ the O_DSYNC one.

Peter Zijlstra 978b4053ae fcntl: rename F_OWNER_GID to F_OWNER_PGRP
This is for consistency with various ioctl() operations that include the
suffix "PGRP" in their names, and also for consistency with PRIO_PGRP,
used with setpriority() and getpriority().  Also, using PGRP instead of
GID avoids confusion with the common abbreviation of "group ID".

I'm fine with anything that makes it more consistent, and if PGRP is what
is the predominant abbreviation then I see no need to further confuse
matters by adding a third one.

Neil Horman 3b885787ea net: Generalize socket rx gap / receive queue overflow cmsg
Create a new socket level option to report number of queue overflows

Recently I augmented the AF_PACKET protocol to report the number of frames lost
on the socket receive queue between any two enqueued frames.  This value was
exported via a SOL_PACKET level cmsg.  AFter I completed that work it was
requested that this feature be generalized so that any datagram oriented socket
could make use of this option.  As such I've created this patch, It creates a
new SOL_SOCKET level option called SO_RXQ_OVFL, which when enabled exports a
SOL_SOCKET level cmsg that reports the nubmer of times the sk_receive_queue
overflowed between any two given frames.  It also augments the AF_PACKET
protocol to take advantage of this new feature (as it previously did not touch
sk->sk_drops, which this patch uses to record the overflow count).  Tested
successfully by me.

Notes:

1) Unlike my previous patch, this patch simply records the sk_drops value, which
is not a number of drops between packets, but rather a total number of drops.
Deltas must be computed in user space.

2) While this patch currently works with datagram oriented protocols, it will
also be accepted by non-datagram oriented protocols. I'm not sure if thats
agreeable to everyone, but my argument in favor of doing so is that, for those
protocols which aren't applicable to this option, sk_drops will always be zero,
and reporting no drops on a receive queue that isn't used for those
non-participating protocols seems reasonable to me.  This also saves us having
to code in a per-protocol opt in mechanism.

3) This applies cleanly to net-next assuming that commit
977750076d (my af packet cmsg patch) is reverted

Christoph Lameter 7340a0b152 this_cpu: Introduce this_cpu_ptr() and generic this_cpu_* operations
This patch introduces two things: First this_cpu_ptr and then per cpu
atomic operations.

this_cpu_ptr
------------

A common operation when dealing with cpu data is to get the instance of the
cpu data associated with the currently executing processor. This can be
optimized by

this_cpu_ptr(xx) = per_cpu_ptr(xx, smp_processor_id).

The problem with per_cpu_ptr(x, smp_processor_id) is that it requires
an array lookup to find the offset for the cpu. Processors typically
have the offset for the current cpu area in some kind of (arch dependent)
efficiently accessible register or memory location.

We can use that instead of doing the array lookup to speed up the
determination of the address of the percpu variable. This is particularly
significant because these lookups occur in performance critical paths
of the core kernel. this_cpu_ptr() can avoid memory accesses and

this_cpu_ptr comes in two flavors. The preemption context matters since we
are referring the the currently executing processor. In many cases we must
insure that the processor does not change while a code segment is executed.

__this_cpu_ptr 	-> Do not check for preemption context
this_cpu_ptr	-> Check preemption context

The parameter to these operations is a per cpu pointer. This can be the
address of a statically defined per cpu variable (&per_cpu_var(xxx)) or
the address of a per cpu variable allocated with the per cpu allocator.

per cpu atomic operations: this_cpu_*(var, val)
-----------------------------------------------
this_cpu_* operations (like this_cpu_add(struct->y, value) operate on
abitrary scalars that are members of structures allocated with the new
per cpu allocator. They can also operate on static per_cpu variables
if they are passed to per_cpu_var() (See patch to use this_cpu_*
operations for vm statistics).

These operations are guaranteed to be atomic vs preemption when modifying
the scalar. The calculation of the per cpu offset is also guaranteed to
be atomic at the same time. This means that a this_cpu_* operation can be
safely used to modify a per cpu variable in a context where interrupts are
enabled and preemption is allowed. Many architectures can perform such
a per cpu atomic operation with a single instruction.

Note that the atomicity here is different from regular atomic operations.
Atomicity is only guaranteed for data accessed from the currently executing
processor. Modifications from other processors are still possible. There
must be other guarantees that the per cpu data is not modified from another
processor when using these instruction. The per cpu atomicity is created
by the fact that the processor either executes and instruction or not.
Embedded in the instruction is the relocation of the per cpu address to
the are reserved for the current processor and the RMW action. Therefore
interrupts or preemption cannot occur in the mids of this processing.

Generic fallback functions are used if an arch does not define optimized
this_cpu operations. The functions come also come in the two flavors used
for this_cpu_ptr().

The firstparameter is a scalar that is a member of a structure allocated
through allocpercpu or a per cpu variable (use per_cpu_var(xxx)). The
operations are similar to what percpu_add() and friends do.

this_cpu_read(scalar)
this_cpu_write(scalar, value)
this_cpu_add(scale, value)
this_cpu_sub(scalar, value)
this_cpu_inc(scalar)
this_cpu_dec(scalar)
this_cpu_and(scalar, value)
this_cpu_or(scalar, value)
this_cpu_xor(scalar, value)

Arch code can override the generic functions and provide optimized atomic
per cpu operations. These atomic operations must provide both the relocation
(x86 does it through a segment override) and the operation on the data in a
single instruction. Otherwise preempt needs to be disabled and there is no
gain from providing arch implementations.

A third variant is provided prefixed by irqsafe_. These variants are safe
against hardware interrupts on the *same* processor (all per cpu atomic
primitives are *always* *only* providing safety for code running on the
*same* processor!). The increment needs to be implemented by the hardware
in such a way that it is a single RMW instruction that is either processed
before or after an interrupt.

Peter Zijlstra ba0a6c9f6f fcntl: add F_[SG]ETOWN_EX
In order to direct the SIGIO signal to a particular thread of a
multi-threaded application we cannot, like suggested by the manpage, put a
TID into the regular fcntl(F_SETOWN) call.  It will still be send to the
whole process of which that thread is part.

Since people do want to properly direct SIGIO we introduce F_SETOWN_EX.

The need to direct SIGIO comes from self-monitoring profiling such as with
perf-counters.  Perf-counters uses SIGIO to notify that new sample data is
available.  If the signal is delivered to the same task that generated the
new sample it can augment that data by inspecting the task's user-space
state right after it returns from the kernel.  This is esp.  convenient
for interpreted or virtual machine driven environments.

Both F_SETOWN_EX and F_GETOWN_EX take a pointer to a struct f_owner_ex
as argument:

struct f_owner_ex {
	int   type;
	pid_t pid;
};

Where type is one of F_OWNER_TID, F_OWNER_PID or F_OWNER_GID.

Jani Nikula a4177ee7f1 gpiolib: allow exported GPIO nodes to be named using sysfs links
Commit 926b663ce8 (gpiolib: allow GPIOs to
be named) already provides naming on the chip level. This patch provides
more flexibility by allowing multiple names where ever in sysfs on a per
GPIO basis.

Adapted from David Brownell's comments on a similar concept:

Mike Frysinger 00afe029aa asm/sections: add text/data checking functions for arches to override
Some ports (like the Blackfin arch) have a discontiguous memory map which
means there may be text or data that falls outside of the standard range
of the start/end text/data symbols.  Creating some helper functions allows
these non-standard ports to declare these regions without adversely
affecting anyone else.

Andi Kleen b28cfd2c06 kmap_types.h: rename D macro
I tend to use a 'D' debugging macro a lot during debugging.  When I define
it before includes I often get conflicts with kmap_types.h's use of 'D'
too.  It's not very nice when a global include pollutes the name space
like this.

Rename the kmap_types.h D to KMAP_D.  It is only used temporarily in the
header so has no effect on anything else.
