      Input: extend usable life of event timestamps to 2106 on 32 bit systems · 152194fe
      Deepa Dinamani authored 
      The input events use struct timeval to store event time, unfortunately
this structure is not y2038 safe and is being replaced in kernel with
y2038 safe structures.

Because of ABI concerns we can not change the size or the layout of
structure input_event, so we opt to re-interpreting the 'seconds' part
of timestamp as an unsigned value, effectively doubling the range of
values, to year 2106.

Newer glibc that has support for 32 bit applications to use 64 bit
time_t supplies __USE_TIME_BITS64 define [1], that we can use to present
the userspace with updated input_event layout. The updated layout will
cause the compile time breakage, alerting applications and distributions
maintainers to the issue. Existing 32 binaries will continue working
without any changes until 2038.

Ultimately userspace applications should switch to using monotonic or
boot time clocks, as realtime clock is not very well suited for input
event timestamps as it can go backwards (see a80b83b7 "Input: evdev -
add CLOCK_BOOTTIME support" by by John Stultz). With monotonic clock the
practical range of reported times will always fit into the pair of 32
bit values, as we do not expect any system to stay up for a hundred
years without a single reboot.

      Input: silead - add support for capactive home button found on some x86 tablets · eca3be9b
      Hans de Goede authored 
      On some x86 tablets with a silead touchscreen the windows logo on the
front is a capacitive home button. Touching this button results in a touch
with bits 12-15 of the Y coordinates set, while normally only the lower 12
are used.

Detect this and report a KEY_LEFTMETA press when this happens. Note for
now we only respond to the Y coordinate bits 12-15 containing 0x01, on some
tablets *without* a capacative button I've noticed these bits containing
0x04 when crossing the edges of the screen.

      Pull ARM fixes from Russell King:

 - omit EFI memory map sorting, which was recently introduced, but
   caused problems with the decompressor due to additional sections
   being emitted.

 - avoid unaligned load fault-generating instructions in the
   decompressor by switching to a private unaligned implementation.

 - add a symbol into the decompressor to further debug non-boot
   situations (ld's documentation is extremely poor for how "." works,
   ld doesn't seem to follow its own documentation!)

 - parse endian information to sparse

      objtool: Prevent GCC from merging annotate_unreachable(), take 2 · ec1e1b61
      Josh Poimboeuf authored 
      This fixes the following warning with GCC 4.6:

  mm/migrate.o: warning: objtool: migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page()+0x71: unreachable instruction

The problem is that the compiler merged identical annotate_unreachable()
inline asm blocks, resulting in a missing 'unreachable' annotation.

This problem happened before, and was partially fixed with:

  3d1e2360 ("objtool: Prevent GCC from merging annotate_unreachable()")

That commit tried to ensure that each instance of the
annotate_unreachable() inline asm statement has a unique label.  It used
the __LINE__ macro to generate the label number.  However, even the line
number isn't necessarily unique when used in an inline function with
multiple callers (in this case, __alloc_pages_node()'s use of
VM_BUG_ON).

      Revert "x86/mm: Stop calling leave_mm() in idle code" · 67535736
      Andy Lutomirski authored 
      This reverts commit 43858b4f.

The reason I removed the leave_mm() calls in question is because the
heuristic wasn't needed after that patch.  With the original version
of my PCID series, we never flushed a "lazy cpu" (i.e. a CPU running
kernel thread) due a flush on the loaded mm.

Unfortunately, that caused architectural issues, so now I've
reinstated these flushes on non-PCID systems in:

    commit b956575b ("x86/mm: Flush more aggressively in lazy TLB mode").

That, in turn, gives us a power management and occasionally
performance regression as compared to old kernels: a process that
goes into a deep idle state on a given CPU and gets its mm flushed
due to activity on a different CPU will wake the idle CPU.

Reinstate the old ugly heuristic: if a CPU goes into ACPI C3 or an
intel_idle state that is likely to cause a TLB flush gets its mm
switched to init_mm before going idle.

FWIW, this heuristic is lousy.  Whether we should change CR3 before
idle isn't a good hint except insofar as the performance hit is a bit
lower if the TLB is getting flushed by the idle code anyway.  What we
really want to know is whether we anticipate being idle long enough
that the mm is likely to be flushed before we wake up.  This is more a
matter of the expected latency than the idle state that gets chosen.
This heuristic also completely fails on systems that don't know
whether the TLB will be flushed (e.g. AMD systems?).  OTOH it may be a
bit obsolete anyway -- PCID systems don't presently benefit from this
heuristic at all.

We also shouldn't do this callback from innermost bit of the idle code
due to the RCU nastiness it causes.  All the information need is
available before rcu_idle_enter() needs to happen.
