      vfs: use __getname/__putname for getcwd() system call · 3272c544
      Linus Torvalds authored
      It's a pathname.  It should use the pathname allocators and
      deallocators, and PATH_MAX instead of PAGE_SIZE.  Never mind that the
      two are commonly the same.
      
      With this, the allocations scale up nicely too, and I can do getcwd()
      system calls at a rate of about 300M/s, with no lock contention
      anywhere.
      
      Of course, nobody sane does that, especially since getcwd() is
      traditionally a very slow operation in Unix.  But this was also the
      simplest way to benchmark the prepend_path() improvements by Waiman, and
      once I saw the profiles I couldn't leave it well enough alone.
      
      But apart from being an performance improvement (from using per-cpu slab
      allocators instead of the raw page allocator), it's actually a valid and
      real cleanup.

      vfs: don't copy things to user space holding the rcu readlock · ff812d72
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Oops.  That wasn't very smart.  We don't actually need the RCU lock any
      more by the time we copy the cwd string to user space, but I had
      stupidly surrounded the whole thing with it.
      
      Introduced by commit 8b19e341 ("vfs: make getcwd() get the root and
      pwd path under rcu")

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull ACPI and power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
       "All of these commits are fixes that have emerged recently and some of
        them fix bugs introduced during this merge window.
      
        Specifics:
      
         1) ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) fixes related to spurious events
      
            After the recent ACPIPHP changes we've seen some interesting
            breakage on a system that triggers device check notifications
            during boot for non-existing devices.  Although those
            notifications are really spurious, we should be able to deal with
            them nevertheless and that shouldn't introduce too much overhead.
            Four commits to make that work properly.
      
         2) Memory hotplug and hibernation mutual exclusion rework
      
            This was maent to be a cleanup, but it happens to fix a classical
            ABBA deadlock between system suspend/hibernation and ACPI memory
            hotplug which is possible if they are started roughly at the same
            time.  Three commits rework memory hotplug so that it doesn't
            acquire pm_mutex and make hibernation use device_hotplug_lock
            which prevents it from racing with memory hotplug.
      
         3) ACPI Intel LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver crash fix
      
            The ACPI LPSS driver crashes during boot on Apple Macbook Air with
            Haswell that has slightly unusual BIOS configuration in which one
            of the LPSS device's _CRS method doesn't return all of the
            information expected by the driver.  Fix from Mika Westerberg, for
            stable.
      
         4) ACPICA fix related to Store->ArgX operation
      
            AML interpreter fix for obscure breakage that causes AML to be
            executed incorrectly on some machines (observed in practice).
            From Bob Moore.
      
         5) ACPI core fix for PCI ACPI device objects lookup
      
            There still are cases in which there is more than one ACPI device
            object matching a given PCI device and we don't choose the one
            that the BIOS expects us to choose, so this makes the lookup take
            more criteria into account in those cases.
      
         6) Fix to prevent cpuidle from crashing in some rare cases
      
            If the result of cpuidle_get_driver() is NULL, which can happen on
            some systems, cpuidle_driver_ref() will crash trying to use that
            pointer and the Daniel Fu's fix prevents that from happening.
      
         7) cpufreq fixes related to CPU hotplug
      
            Stephen Boyd reported a number of concurrency problems with
            cpufreq related to CPU hotplug which are addressed by a series of
            fixes from Srivatsa S Bhat and Viresh Kumar.
      
         8) cpufreq fix for time conversion in time_in_state attribute
      
            Time conversion carried out by cpufreq when user space attempts to
            read /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state
            won't work correcty if cputime_t doesn't map directly to jiffies.
            Fix from Andreas Schwab.
      
         9) Revert of a troublesome cpufreq commit
      
            Commit 7c30ed53 (cpufreq: make sure frequency transitions are
            serialized) was intended to address some known concurrency
            problems in cpufreq related to the ordering of transitions, but
            unfortunately it introduced several problems of its own, so I
            decided to revert it now and address the original problems later
            in a more robust way.
      
        10) Intel Haswell CPU models for intel_pstate from Nell Hardcastle.
      
        11) cpufreq fixes related to system suspend/resume
      
            The recent cpufreq changes that made it preserve CPU sysfs
            attributes over suspend/resume cycles introduced a possible NULL
            pointer dereference that caused it to crash during the second
            attempt to suspend.  Three commits from Srivatsa S Bhat fix that
            problem and a couple of related issues.
      
        12) cpufreq locking fix
      
            cpufreq_policy_restore() should acquire the lock for reading, but
            it acquires it for writing.  Fix from Lan Tianyu"

      vfs: make getcwd() get the root and pwd path under rcu · 8b19e341
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This allows us to skip all the crazy spinlocks and reference count
      updates, and instead use the fs sequence read-lock to get an atomic
      snapshot of the root and cwd information.
      
      We might want to make the rule that "prepend_path()" is always called
      with the RCU lock held, but the RCU lock nests fine and this is the
      minimal fix.

      dcache: get/release read lock in read_seqbegin_or_lock() & friend · 18129977
      Waiman Long authored
      This patch modifies read_seqbegin_or_lock() and need_seqretry() to use
      newly introduced read_seqlock_excl() and read_sequnlock_excl()
      primitives so that they won't change the sequence number even if they
      fall back to take the lock.  This is OK as no change to the protected
      data structure is being made.
      
      It will prevent one fallback to lock taking from cascading into a series
      of lock taking reducing performance because of the sequence number
      change.  It will also allow other sequence readers to go forward while
      an exclusive reader lock is taken.
      
      This patch also updates some of the inaccurate comments in the code.

      seqlock: Add a new locking reader type · 1370e97b
      Waiman Long authored
      The sequence lock (seqlock) was originally designed for the cases where
      the readers do not need to block the writers by making the readers retry
      the read operation when the data change.
      
      Since then, the use cases have been expanded to include situations where
      a thread does not need to change the data (effectively a reader) at all
      but have to take the writer lock because it can't tolerate changes to
      the protected structure.  Some examples are the d_path() function and
      the getcwd() syscall in fs/dcache.c where the functions take the writer
      lock on rename_lock even though they don't need to change anything in
      the protected data structure at all.  This is inefficient as a reader is
      now blocking other sequence number reading readers from moving forward
      by pretending to be a writer.
      
      This patch tries to eliminate this inefficiency by introducing a new
      type of locking reader to the seqlock locking mechanism.  This new
      locking reader will try to take an exclusive lock preventing other
      writers and locking readers from going forward.  However, it won't
      affect the progress of the other sequence number reading readers as the
      sequence number won't be changed.

      Pull thermal management updates from Zhang Rui:
       "We have a lot of SOC changes and a few thermal core fixes this time.
      
        The biggest change is about exynos thermal driver restructure.  The
        patch set adds TMU (Thermal management Unit) driver support for
        exynos5440 platform.  There are 3 instances of the TMU controllers so
        necessary cleanup/re-structure is done to handle multiple thermal
        zone.
      
        The next biggest change is the introduction of the imx thermal driver.
        It adds the imx thermal support using Temperature Monitor (TEMPMON)
        block found on some Freescale i.MX SoCs.  The driver uses syscon
        regmap interface to access TEMPMON control registers and calibration
        data, and supports cpufreq as the cooling device.
      
        Highlights:
      
         - restructure exynos thermal driver.
      
         - introduce new imx thermal driver.
      
         - fix a bug in thermal core, which powers on the fans unexpectedly

      ARC: SMP failed to boot due to missing IVT setup · c3567f8a
      Noam Camus authored
      Commit 05b016ec "ARC: Setup Vector Table Base in early boot" moved
      the Interrupt vector Table setup out of arc_init_IRQ() which is called
      for all CPUs, to entry point of boot cpu only, breaking booting of others.
      
      Fix by adding the same to entry point of non-boot CPUs too.
      
      read_arc_build_cfg_regs() printing IVT Base Register didn't help the
      casue since it prints a synthetic value if zero which is totally bogus,
      so fix that to print the exact Register.

      also added the commentary for halt-on-reset]

      perf/x86: Fix uncore PCI fixed counter handling · dbc33f70
      Stephane Eranian authored
      There was a bug in the handling of SNB-EP/IVB-EP uncore PCI
      fixed counters, e.g., IMC.
      
      It would cause erratic values to be returned for the IMC
      clockticks event. This was due to a bogus hwc->config value
      which was then written to PCI config space.
      
      The erratic values can be seen via:
      
        $ perf stat -a -C 0 -e uncore_imc_0/clockticks/ -I 1000 sleep 10
      
      The fixed counter has most fields marked as reserved with
      hw reset values of 0. Yet the kernel was defaulting to a
      hwc->config = ~0 and that was causing the issues.
      
      This patch sets the hwc->config values for fixed uncore event
      to 0. Now, the values of IMC clockticks is correct.

      uprobes: Fix utask->depth accounting in handle_trampoline() · 878b5a6e
      Oleg Nesterov authored
      Currently utask->depth is simply the number of allocated/pending
      return_instance's in uprobe_task->return_instances list.
      
      handle_trampoline() should decrement this counter every time we
      handle/free an instance, but due to typo it does this only if
      ->chained == T. This means that in the likely case this counter
      is never decremented and the probed task can't report more than
      MAX_URETPROBE_DEPTH events.

      perf/x86: Add constraint for IVB CYCLE_ACTIVITY:CYCLES_LDM_PENDING · 6113af14
      Stephane Eranian authored
      The IvyBridge event CYCLE_ACTIVITY:CYCLES_LDM_PENDING can only
      be measured on counters 0-3 when HT is off. When HT is on, you
      only have counters 0-3.
      
      If you program it on the eight counters for 1s on a 3GHz
      IVB laptop running a noploop, you see:
      
                 2 747 527 CYCLE_ACTIVITY:CYCLES_LDM_PENDING
                 2 747 527 CYCLE_ACTIVITY:CYCLES_LDM_PENDING
                 2 747 527 CYCLE_ACTIVITY:CYCLES_LDM_PENDING
                 2 747 527 CYCLE_ACTIVITY:CYCLES_LDM_PENDING
             3 280 563 608 CYCLE_ACTIVITY:CYCLES_LDM_PENDING

             3 280 563 608 CYCLE_ACTIVITY:CYCLES_LDM_PENDING
      
      Clearly the last 4 values are bogus.

      Pull perf/urgent fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
      
       * Handle perf.data files with no tracepoints in 'perf trace', fixing a
         segfault.
      
       * Fix up MMAP2 buffer space reservation, a problem that was caught via
         'perf test' consistency tests.
      
       * Add attr->mmap2 support in the tools, a patch that should've been merged
         together with the kernel counterpart:
      
           13d7a241 "perf: Add attr->mmap2 attribute to an event".
      
         Merging it allowed us to catch the MMAP buffer space reservation problem via
         'perf test'. From Stephane Eranian.
      
         The tools deals with older kernels by disabling this feature, resetting the
         perf_event_attr.mmap2 bit, when -EINVAL is returned by perf_event_open, just
         like with perf_event_attr.{sample_id_all,exclude_{guest,host}}.
      
         When such fallback happens the perf_missing_features.mmap2 flag is set to
         true and can be used by tooling that strictly needs this feature to check
         for its availability on the running kernel.
      
       * Make sure we can find PERF_SAMPLE_ID in the variable part of PERF_RECORD_
         ring buffer records in 'perf kvm', where direct manipulation of sample_type
         was being done.
      
         Fixed by making use of the perf_evlist__set_sample_bit() helper and by
         setting the evlist->id_pos in perf_evlist__open(), from Adrian Hunter.
