      Pull virtio S3 support patches from Amit Shah:
       "Turns out S3 is not different from S4 for virtio devices: the device
        is assumed to be reset, so the host and guest state are to be assumed
        to be out of sync upon resume.  We handle the S4 case with exactly the
        same scenario, so just point the suspend/resume routines to the
        freeze/restore ones.
      
        Once that is done, we also use the PM API's macro to initialise the
        sleep functions.
      
        A couple of cleanups are included: there's no need for special thaw
        processing in the balloon driver, so that's addressed in patches 1 and
        2.
      
        Testing: both S3 and S4 support have been tested using these patches
        using a similar method used earlier during S4 patch development: a
        guest is started with virtio-blk as the only disk, a virtio network
        card, a virtio-serial port and a virtio balloon device.  Ping from
        guest to host, dd /dev/zero to a file on the disk, and IO from the
        host on the virtio-serial port, all at once, while exercising S4 and
        S3 (separately) were tested.  They all continue to work fine after
        resume.  virtio balloon values too were tested by inflating and
        deflating the balloon."
      
      Pulling from Amit, since Rusty is off getting married (and presumably
      shaving people).

      Pull perf updates and fixes from Ingo Molnar:
       "It's mostly fixes, but there's also two late items:
      
         - preliminary GTK GUI support for perf report
         - PMU raw event format descriptors in sysfs, to be parsed by tooling
      
        The raw event format in sysfs is a new ABI.  For example for the 'CPU'
        PMU we have:
      
          aldebaran:~> ll /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/*
          -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/any
          -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/cmask
          -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/edge
          -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/event
          -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/inv
          -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/offcore_rsp
          -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/pc
          -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/umask
      
        those lists of fields contain a specific format:
      
          aldebaran:~> cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/offcore_rsp
          config1:0-63
      
        So, those who wish to specify raw events can now use the following
        event format:
      
          -e cpu/cmask=1,event=2,umask=3
      
        Most people will not want to specify any events (let alone raw
        events), they'll just use whatever default event the tools use.
      
        But for more obscure PMU events that have no cross-architecture
        generic events the above syntax is more usable and a bit more
        structured than specifying hex numbers."

      Miklos Szeredi authored
      Split __lookup_hash into two component functions:
      
       lookup_dcache - tries cached lookup, returns whether real lookup is needed
       lookup_real - calls i_op->lookup
      
      This eliminates code duplication between d_alloc_and_lookup() and
      d_inode_lookup().

      Everything arriving into if (!dentry) will have need_reval = 1.
      Indeed, the only way to get there with need_reval reset to 0 would
      be via
      	if (unlikely(d_need_lookup(dentry)))
      		goto unlazy;
      	if (unlikely(dentry->d_flags & DCACHE_OP_REVALIDATE)) {
      		status = d_revalidate(dentry, nd);
      	if (unlikely(status <= 0)) {
      		if (status != -ECHILD)
      			need_reval = 0;
      		goto unlazy;

      unlazy:

      	if (dentry && unlikely(d_need_lookup(dentry))) {
      		dput(dentry);
      		dentry = NULL;
      	}
      and if d_need_lookup() had already been false the first time around, it
      will remain false on the second call as well.

      ASPM: Fix pcie devices with non-pcie children · c9651e70
      Matthew Garrett authored
      Since 3.2.12 and 3.3, some systems are failing to boot with a BUG_ON.
      Some other systems using the pata_jmicron driver fail to boot because no
      disks are detected.  Passing pcie_aspm=force on the kernel command line
      works around it.
      
      The cause: commit 4949be16 ("PCI: ignore pre-1.1 ASPM quirking when
      ASPM is disabled") changed the behaviour of pcie_aspm_sanity_check() to
      always return 0 if aspm is disabled, in order to avoid cases where we
      changed ASPM state on pre-PCIe 1.1 devices.
      
      This skipped the secondary function of pcie_aspm_sanity_check which was
      to avoid us enabling ASPM on devices that had non-PCIe children, causing
      trouble later on.  Move the aspm_disabled check so we continue to honour
      that scenario.

      selinux: inline avc_audit() and avc_has_perm_noaudit() into caller · cdb0f9a1
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Now that all the slow-path code is gone from these functions, we can
      inline them into the main caller - avc_has_perm_flags().
      
      Now the compiler can see that 'avc' is allocated on the stack for this
      case, which helps register pressure a bit.  It also actually shrinks the
      total stack frame, because the stack frame that avc_has_perm_flags()
      always needed (for that 'avc' allocation) is now sufficient for the
      inlined functions too.
      
      Inlining isn't bad - but mindless inlining of cold code (see the
      previous commit) is.

      selinux: don't inline slow-path code into avc_has_perm_noaudit() · a554bea8
      Linus Torvalds authored
      The selinux AVC paths remain some of the hottest (and deepest) codepaths
      at filename lookup time, and we make it worse by having the slow path
      cases take up I$ and stack space even when they don't trigger.  Gcc
      tends to always want to inline functions that are just called once -
      never mind that this might make for slower and worse code in the caller.
      
      So this tries to improve on it a bit by making the slow-path cases
      explicitly separate functions that are marked noinline, causing gcc to
      at least no longer allocate stack space for them unless they are
      actually called.  It also seems to help register allocation a tiny bit,
      since gcc now doesn't take the slow case code into account.
      
      Uninlining the slow path may also allow us to inline the remaining hot
      path into the one caller that actually matters: avc_has_perm_flags().
      I'll have to look at that separately, but both avc_audit() and
      avc_has_perm_noaudit() are now small and lean enough that inlining them
      may make sense.
