Pull s390 lockref enablement from Heiko Carstens: "Enabling the new lockless lockref variant on s390 would have been trivial until Tony Luck added a cpu_relax() call into the CMPXCHG_LOOP(), with commit d472d9d9 ("lockref: Relax in cmpxchg loop") As already mentioned cpu_relax() is very expensive on s390 since it yields() the current virtual cpu. So we are talking of several thousand cycles. Considering this enabling the lockless lockref variant would contradict the intention of the new semantics. And also some quick measurements show performance regressions of 50% and more. Simply removing the cpu_relax() call again seems also not very desireable since Waiman Long reported that for some workloads the call improved performance by 5%." * 'lockref' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux: s390: enable ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF lockref: use arch_mutex_cpu_relax() in CMPXCHG_LOOP() mutex: replace CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_MUTEX_CPU_RELAX with simple ifdef

Make use of arch_mutex_cpu_relax() so architectures can override the default cpu_relax() semantics. This is especially useful for s390, where cpu_relax() means that we yield() the current (virtual) cpu and therefore is very expensive, and would contradict the whole purpose of the lockless cmpxchg loop.

Linus suggested to replace #ifndef CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_MUTEX_CPU_RELAX #define arch_mutex_cpu_relax() cpu_relax() #endif with just a simple #ifndef arch_mutex_cpu_relax # define arch_mutex_cpu_relax() cpu_relax() #endif to get rid of CONFIG_HAVE_CPU_RELAX_SIMPLE. So architectures can simply define arch_mutex_cpu_relax if they want an architecture specific function instead of having to add a select statement in their Kconfig in addition.

In kobj_ns_current_may_mount the default should be to allow the mount. The test is only for a single kobj_ns_type at a time, and unless there is a reason to prevent it the mounting sysfs should be allowed. Subsystems that are not registered can't have are not involved so can't have a reason to prevent mounting sysfs. This is a bug-fix to commit 7dc5dbc8 ("sysfs: Restrict mounting sysfs") that came in via the userns tree during the 3.12 merge window.

Will Deacon authored
The 64-bit cmpxchg operation on the lockref is ordered by virtue of hazarding between the cmpxchg operation and the reference count manipulation. On weakly ordered memory architectures (such as ARM), it can be of great benefit to omit the barrier instructions where they are not needed. This patch moves the lockless lockref code over to a cmpxchg64_relaxed operation, which doesn't provide barrier semantics. If the operation isn't defined, we simply #define it as the usual 64-bit cmpxchg macro.

BIOS can mark a pin as "no physical connection" if the port is used by an integrated display which is not audio capable. And audio driver will overlook such pins. On Haswell, such a disconneted pin will keep muted and connected to the 1st converter by default. But if the 1st convertor is assigned to a connected pin for audio streaming. The muted disconnected pin can make the connected pin no sound output. So this patch avoids using assigned converters for all unused pins for Haswell, including the disconected pins.

David Vrabel authored
On hosts with more than 168 GB of memory, a 32-bit guest may attempt to grant map an MFN that is error cannot lookup in its mapping of the m2p table. There is an m2p lookup as part of m2p_add_override() and m2p_remove_override(). The lookup falls off the end of the mapped portion of the m2p and (because the mapping is at the highest virtual address) wraps around and the lookup causes a fault on what appears to be a user space address. do_page_fault() (thinking it's a fault to a userspace address), tries to lock mm->mmap_sem. If the gntdev device is used for the grant map, m2p_add_override() is called from from gnttab_mmap() with mm->mmap_sem already locked. do_page_fault() then deadlocks. The deadlock would most commonly occur when a 64-bit guest is started and xenconsoled attempts to grant map its console ring. Introduce mfn_to_pfn_no_overrides() which checks the MFN is within the mapped portion of the m2p table before accessing the table and use this in m2p_add_override(), m2p_remove_override(), and mfn_to_pfn() (which already had the correct range check). All faults caused by accessing the non-existant parts of the m2p are thus within the kernel address space and exception_fixup() is called without trying to lock mm->mmap_sem. This means that for MFNs that are outside the mapped range of the m2p then mfn_to_pfn() will always look in the m2p overrides. This is correct because it must be a foreign MFN (and the PFN in the m2p in this case is only relevant for the other domain).
