We're missing include/linux/compiler-gcc5.h which is required now because gcc branched off to v5 in trunk. Just copy the relevant bits out of include/linux/compiler-gcc4.h, no new code is added as of now. This fixes a build error when using gcc 5.

The current cma bitmap aligned mask computation is incorrect. It could cause an unexpected alignment when using cma_alloc() if the wanted align order is larger than cma->order_per_bit. Take kvm for example (PAGE_SHIFT = 12), kvm_cma->order_per_bit is set to 6. When kvm_alloc_rma() tries to alloc kvm_rma_pages, it will use 15 as the expected align value. After using the current implementation however, we get 0 as cma bitmap aligned mask other than 511. This patch fixes the cma bitmap aligned mask calculation.

Commit bf0dea23 ("mm/slab: use percpu allocator for cpu cache") changed the allocation method for cpu cache array from slab allocator to percpu allocator. Alignment should be provided for aligned memory in percpu allocator case, but, that commit mistakenly set this alignment to 0. So, percpu allocator returns unaligned memory address. It doesn't cause any problem on x86 which permits unaligned access, but, it causes the problem on sparc64 which needs strong guarantee of alignment. Following bug report is reported from David Miller. I'm getting tons of the following on sparc64: [603965.383447] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[546b58] free_block+0x98/0x1a0 [603965.396987] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[546b60] free_block+0xa0/0x1a0 ... [603970.554394] log_unaligned: 333 callbacks suppressed ... This patch provides a proper alignment parameter when allocating cpu cache to fix this unaligned memory access problem on sparc64.

caused a regression in xfs_inumbers, which in turn broke xfsdump, causing incomplete dumps. The loop in xfs_inumbers() needs to fill the user-supplied buffers, and iterates via xfs_btree_increment, reading new ags as needed. But the first time through the loop, if xfs_btree_increment() succeeds, we continue, which triggers the ++agno at the bottom of the loop, and we skip to soon to the next ag - without the proper setup under next_ag to read the next ag. Fix this by removing the agno increment from the loop conditional, and only increment agno if we have actually hit the code under the next_ag: target.

The following pairs of system calls dealing with extended attributes only differ in their behavior on whether the symbolic link is followed (when the named file is a symbolic link): - setxattr() and lsetxattr() - getxattr() and lgetxattr() - listxattr() and llistxattr() - removexattr() and lremovexattr() Despite this, the implementations all had duplicated code, so this commit redirects each of the above pairs of system calls to a corresponding function to which different lookup flags (LOOKUP_FOLLOW or 0) are passed.

Pull parisc fix from Helge Deller: "This patch intentionally breaks the ABI on PARISC Linux! It assigns new numbers to SIGSTKFLT, SIGXCPU, SIGXFSZ and SIGSYS so that those are below 32 and thus leaves us with 32 RT signals like other Linux architectures (SIGRTMIN now becomes 32 instead of 37). Even if it breaks the ABI, it doesn't seem to have any visible impact on existing userspace applications. I was able to mix new kernel and/or glibc without impacting normal bootup. So, even if it breaks the ABI, the benefits (e.g. being able to use systemd on PARISC Linux) outperforms the minimal (if any) impact it gives. The patch has been discussed on the parisc kernel mailing list and the coresponding glibc patch will be committed by the parisc glibc maintainer after this patch went into 3.18. Some more background information about this patch is in the commit message" [ Side note: the "no regressions" rule has always been about *users*, not ABI's. You can change ABI's all you like, until somebody actually notices. At that point it gets reverted regardless of how good your reasons and excuses. And admittedly, with parisc, the distinct lack of many users makes that fairly unlikely anyway :^p - Linus ] * 'parisc-3.18-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux: parisc: Reduce SIGRTMIN from 37 to 32 to behave like other Linux architectures

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: "Seems that Peter Zijlstra added a new check that is making old code scream nasty warnings: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 91 at kernel/sched/core.c:7253 __might_sleep+0x9a/0x378() do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING; state=1 set at [<ffffffff8d79b511>] event_test_thread+0x48/0x93 Call Trace: __might_sleep+0x9a/0x378 down_read+0x26/0x98 exit_signals+0x27/0x1c2 do_exit+0x193/0x10bd kthread+0x156/0x156 ret_from_fork+0x7a/0xb0 These are triggered by some self tests that run at start up when configure in. Although the code is technically correct, they are a little sloppy and not very robust. They work now because it runs at boot up and the tests do not call anything that might trigger a spurious wake up. But that doesn't mean those tests wont change in the future. It's best to clean them now to make sure the tests used to test the internal workings of the system don't cause breakage themselves.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "This set has a few minor updates, but the big change is the redesign of the trampoline logic. The trampoline logic of 3.17 required a descriptor for every function that is registered to be traced and uses a trampoline. Currently, only the function graph tracer uses a trampoline, but if you were to trace all 32,000 (give or take a few thousand) functions with the function graph tracer, it would create 32,000 descriptors to let us know that there's a trampoline associated with it. This takes up a bit of memory when there's a better way to do it. The redesign now reuses the ftrace_ops' (what registers the function graph tracer) hash tables. The hash tables tell ftrace what the tracer wants to trace or doesn't want to trace. There's two of them: one that tells us what to trace, the other tells us what not to trace. If the first one is empty, it means all functions should be traced, otherwise only the ones that are listed should be. The second hash table tells us what not to trace, and if it is empty, all functions may be traced, and if there's any listed, then those should not be traced even if they exist in the first hash table. It took a bit of massaging, but now these hashes can be used to keep track of what has a trampoline and what does not, and allows the ftrace accounting to work. Now we can trace all functions when using the function graph trampoline, and avoid needing to create any special descriptors to hold all the functions that are being traced" * tag 'trace-3.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: ftrace: Only disable ftrace_enabled to test buffer in selftest ftrace: Add sanity check when unregistering last ftrace_ops kernel: trace_syscalls: Replace rcu_assign_pointer() with RCU_INIT_POINTER() tracing: generate RCU warnings even when tracepoints are disabled ftrace: Replace tramp_hash with old_*_hash to save space ftrace: Annotate the ops operation on update ftrace: Grab any ops for a rec for enabled_functions output ftrace: Remove freeing of old_hash from ftrace_hash_move() ftrace: Set callback to ftrace_stub when no ops are registered ftrace: Add helper function ftrace_ops_get_func() ftrace: Add separate function for non recursive callbacks

This patch reduces the value of SIGRTMIN on PARISC from 37 to 32, thus increasing the number of available RT signals and bring it in sync with other Linux architectures. Historically we wanted to natively support HP-UX 32bit binaries with the PA-RISC Linux port. Because of that we carried the various available signals from HP-UX (e.g. SIGEMT and SIGLOST) and folded them in between the native Linux signals. Although this was the right decision at that time, this required us to increase SIGRTMIN to at least 37 which left us with 27 (64-37) RT signals. Those 27 RT signals haven't been a problem in the past, but with the upcoming importance of systemd we now got the problem that systemd alloctes (hardcoded) signals up to SIGRTMIN+29 which is beyond our NSIG of 64. Because of that we have not been able to use systemd on the PARISC Linux port yet. Of course we could ask the systemd developers to not use those hardcoded values, but this change is very unlikely, esp. with PA-RISC being a niche architecture. The other possibility would be to increase NSIG to e.g. 128, but this would mean to duplicate most of the existing Linux signal handling code into the parisc specific Linux kernel tree which would most likely introduce lots of new bugs beside the code duplication. The third option is to drop some HP-UX signals and shuffle some other signals around to bring SIGRTMIN to 32. This is of course an ABI change, but testing has shown that existing Linux installations are not visibly affected by this change - most likely because we move those signals around which are rarely used and move them to slots which haven't been used in Linux yet. In an existing installation I was able to exchange either the Linux kernel or glibc (or both) without affecting the boot process and installed applications. Dropping the HP-UX signals isn't an issue either, since support for HP-UX was basically dropped a few months back with Kernel 3.14 in commit f5a408d5 already, when we changed EWOULDBLOCK to be equal to EAGAIN. So, even if this is an ABI change, it's better to change it now and thus bring PARISC Linux in sync with other architectures to avoid other issues in the future.
