      mm: remove per-zone hashtable of bitlock waitqueues · 9dcb8b68
      Linus Torvalds authored
      The per-zone waitqueues exist because of a scalability issue with the
      page waitqueues on some NUMA machines, but it turns out that they hurt
      normal loads, and now with the vmalloced stacks they also end up
      breaking gfs2 that uses a bit_wait on a stack object:
      
           wait_on_bit(&gh->gh_iflags, HIF_WAIT, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE)
      
      where 'gh' can be a reference to the local variable 'mount_gh' on the
      stack of fill_super().
      
      The reason the per-zone hash table breaks for this case is that there is
      no "zone" for virtual allocations, and trying to look up the physical
      page to get at it will fail (with a BUG_ON()).
      
      It turns out that I actually complained to the mm people about the
      per-zone hash table for another reason just a month ago: the zone lookup
      also hurts the regular use of "unlock_page()" a lot, because the zone
      lookup ends up forcing several unnecessary cache misses and generates
      horrible code.
      
      As part of that earlier discussion, we had a much better solution for
      the NUMA scalability issue - by just making the page lock have a
      separate contention bit, the waitqueue doesn't even have to be looked at
      for the normal case.
      
      Peter Zijlstra already has a patch for that, but let's see if anybody
      even notices.  In the meantime, let's fix the actual gfs2 breakage by
      simplifying the bitlock waitqueues and removing the per-zone issue.

      blk-mq: update hardware and software queues for sleeping alloc · 7fe31130
      Jens Axboe authored
      If we end up sleeping due to running out of requests, we should
      update the hardware and software queues in the map ctx structure.
      Otherwise we could end up having rq->mq_ctx point to the pre-sleep
      context, and risk corrupting ctx->rq_list since we'll be
      grabbing the wrong lock when inserting the request.

      mm: unexport __get_user_pages() · 0d731759
      Lorenzo Stoakes authored
      This patch unexports the low-level __get_user_pages() function.
      
      Recent refactoring of the get_user_pages* functions allow flags to be
      passed through get_user_pages() which eliminates the need for access to
      this function from its one user, kvm.
      
      We can see that the two calls to get_user_pages() which replace
      __get_user_pages() in kvm_main.c are equivalent by examining their call
      stacks:
      
        get_user_page_nowait():
          get_user_pages(start, 1, flags, page, NULL)
          __get_user_pages_locked(current, current->mm, start, 1, page, NULL, NULL,
      			    false, flags | FOLL_TOUCH)
          __get_user_pages(current, current->mm, start, 1,
      		     flags | FOLL_TOUCH | FOLL_GET, page, NULL, NULL)
      
        check_user_page_hwpoison():
          get_user_pages(addr, 1, flags, NULL, NULL)
          __get_user_pages_locked(current, current->mm, addr, 1, NULL, NULL, NULL,
      			    false, flags | FOLL_TOUCH)
          __get_user_pages(current, current->mm, addr, 1, flags | FOLL_TOUCH, NULL,

      proc: don't use FOLL_FORCE for reading cmdline and environment · 272ddc8b
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Now that Lorenzo cleaned things up and made the FOLL_FORCE users
      explicit, it becomes obvious how some of them don't really need
      FOLL_FORCE at all.
      
      So remove FOLL_FORCE from the proc code that reads the command line and
      arguments from user space.
      
      The mem_rw() function actually does want FOLL_FORCE, because gdd (and
      possibly many other debuggers) use it as a much more convenient version
      of PTRACE_PEEKDATA, but we should consider making the FOLL_FORCE part
      conditional on actually being a ptracer.  This does not actually do
      that, just moves adds a comment to that effect and moves the gup_flags
      settings next to each other.

      Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
       "This updates contains:
      
         - A revert which addresses a boot failure on ARM Sun5i platforms
      
         - A new clocksource driver, which has been delayed beyond rc1 due to
           an interrupt driver issue which was unearthed by this driver. The
           debugging of that issue and the discussion about the proper
           solution made this driver miss the merge window. There is no point
           in delaying it for a full cycle as it completes the basic mainline
           support for the new JCore platform and does not create any risk
           outside of that platform"

      Pull x86 fixes from Ingo Molnar:
       "Three fixes, a hw-enablement and a cross-arch fix/enablement change:
      
         - SGI/UV fix for older platforms
      
         - x32 signal handling fix
      
         - older x86 platform bootup APIC fix
      
         - AVX512-4VNNIW (Neural Network Instructions) and AVX512-4FMAPS
           (Multiply Accumulation Single precision instructions) enablement.
      
         - move thread_info back into x86 specific code, to make life easier
           for other architectures trying to make use of
           CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK_STRUCT=y"
      
      * 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
        x86/boot/smp: Don't try to poke disabled/non-existent APIC
        sched/core, x86: Make struct thread_info arch specific again
        x86/signal: Remove bogus user_64bit_mode() check from sigaction_compat_abi()
        x86/platform/UV: Fix support for EFI_OLD_MEMMAP after BIOS callback updates
