Most notable change if feeding the entire flattened tree into the random pool at boot.

When I moved the RCU walk termination into unlazy_walk(), I didn't copy quite all of it: for the successful RCU termination we properly add the necessary reference counts to our temporary copy of the root path, but for the failure case we need to make sure that any temporary root path information is cleared out (since it does _not_ have the proper reference counts from the RCU lookup). We could clean up this mess by just always dropping the temporary root information, but Al points out that that would mean that a single lookup through symlinks could see multiple different root entries if it races with another thread doing chroot. Not that I think we should really care (we had that before too, back before we had a copy of the root path in the nameidata). Al says he has a cunning plan. In the meantime, this is the minimal fix for the problem, even if it's not all that pretty.

dma_sync_wait and dma_find_channel are declared regardless of whether CONFIG_DMA_ENGINE is enabled, but calling the function without CONFIG_DMA_ENGINE enabled results "undefined reference" errors. To get around this, declare dma_sync_wait and dma_find_channel as inline functions if CONFIG_DMA_ENGINE is undefined.

In __clk_init(), after a clock is mostly initialized, a scan is done of the orphan clocks to see if the clock being registered is the parent of any of them. This code assumes that any clock that provides a get_parent method actually has at least one parent, and that's not a valid assumption. As a result, an orphan clock with no parent can return *something* as the parent index, and that value is blindly used to dereference the orphan's parent_names[] array (which will be ZERO_SIZE_PTR or NULL). Fix this by ensuring get_parent is only called for orphans with at least one parent. Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <elder@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Mike Turquette <mturquette@linaro.org>

When running the AIM7's short workload, Linus' lockref patch eliminated most of the spinlock contention. However, there were still some left: 8.46% reaim [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock |--42.21%-- d_path | proc_pid_readlink | SyS_readlinkat | SyS_readlink | system_call | __GI___readlink | |--40.97%-- sys_getcwd | system_call | __getcwd The big one here is the rename_lock (seqlock) contention in d_path() and the getcwd system call. This patch will eliminate the need to take the rename_lock while translating dentries into the full pathnames. The need to take the rename_lock is to make sure that no rename operation can be ongoing while the translation is in progress. However, only one thread can take the rename_lock thus blocking all the other threads that need it even though the translation process won't make any change to the dentries. This patch will replace the writer's write_seqlock/write_sequnlock sequence of the rename_lock of the callers of the prepend_path() and __dentry_path() functions with the reader's read_seqbegin/read_seqretry sequence within these 2 functions. As a result, the code will have to retry if one or more rename operations had been performed. In addition, RCU read lock will be taken during the translation process to make sure that no dentries will go away. To prevent live-lock from happening, the code will switch back to take the rename_lock if read_seqretry() fails for three times. To further reduce spinlock contention, this patch does not take the dentry's d_lock when copying the filename from the dentries. Instead, it treats the name pointer and length as unreliable and just copy the string byte-by-byte over until it hits a null byte or the end of string as specified by the length. This should avoid stepping into invalid memory address. The error cases are left to be handled by the sequence number check. The following code re-factoring are also made: 1. Move prepend('/') into prepend_name() to remove one conditional check. 2. Move the global root check in prepend_path() back to the top of the while loop. With this patch, the _raw_spin_lock will now account for only 1.2% of the total CPU cycles for the short workload. This patch also has the effect of reducing the effect of running perf on its profile since the perf command itself can be a heavy user of the d_path() function depending on the complexity of the workload. When taking the perf profile of the high-systime workload, the amount of spinlock contention contributed by running perf without this patch was about 16%. With this patch, the spinlock contention caused by the running of perf will go away and we will have a more accurate perf profile.

Pull VFIO update from Alex Williamson: "VFIO updates include safer default file flags for VFIO device fds, an external user interface exported to allow other modules to hold references to VFIO groups, a fix to test for extended config space on PCIe and PCI-x, and new hot reset interfaces for PCI devices which allows the user to do PCI bus/slot resets when all of the devices affected by the reset are owned by the user. For this last feature, the PCI bus reset interface, I depend on changes already merged from Bjorn's PCI pull request. I therefore merged my tree up to commit cb3e4330, which I think was the correct action, but as Stephen Rothwell noted, I failed to provide a commit message indicating why the merge was required. Sorry for that. Thanks, Alex" * tag 'vfio-v3.12-rc0' of git://github.com/awilliam/linux-vfio: vfio: fix documentation vfio-pci: PCI hot reset interface vfio-pci: Test for extended config space vfio-pci: Use fdget() rather than eventfd_fget() vfio: Add O_CLOEXEC flag to vfio device fd vfio: use get_unused_fd_flags(0) instead of get_unused_fd() vfio: add external user support
