      powerpc: Fix build warning on 32-bit PPC · 8ae679c4
      Larry Finger authored 
      I am getting the following warning when I build kernel 4.9-git on my
PowerBook G4 with a 32-bit PPC processor:

    AS      arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.o
  arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.S:299:7: warning: "CONFIG_FSL_BOOKE" is not defined [-Wundef]

This problem is evident after commit 989cea5c ("kbuild: prevent
lib-ksyms.o rebuilds"); however, this change in kbuild only exposes an
error that has been in the code since 2005 when this source file was
created.  That was with commit 9994a338 ("powerpc: Introduce
entry_{32,64}.S, misc_{32,64}.S, systbl.S").

The offending line does not make a lot of sense.  This error does not
seem to cause any errors in the executable, thus I am not recommending
that it be applied to any stable versions.

Thanks to Nicholas Piggin for suggesting this solution.

Fixes: 9994a338 ("powerpc: Introduce entry_{32,64}.S, misc_{32,64}.S, systbl.S")

      avoid spurious "may be used uninitialized" warning · d33d5a6c
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      The timer type simplifications caused a new gcc warning:

  drivers/base/power/domain.c: In function ‘genpd_runtime_suspend’:
  drivers/base/power/domain.c:562:14: warning: ‘time_start’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
     elapsed_ns = ktime_to_ns(ktime_sub(ktime_get(), time_start));

despite the actual use of "time_start" not having changed in any way.
It appears that simply changing the type of ktime_t from a union to a
plain scalar type made gcc check the use.

The variable wasn't actually used uninitialized, but gcc apparently
failed to notice that the conditional around the use was exactly the
same as the conditional around the initialization of that variable.

Add an unnecessary initialization just to shut up the compiler.

      Pull timer type cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This series does a tree wide cleanup of types related to
  timers/timekeeping.

   - Get rid of cycles_t and use a plain u64. The type is not really
     helpful and caused more confusion than clarity

   - Get rid of the ktime union. The union has become useless as we use
     the scalar nanoseconds storage unconditionally now. The 32bit
     timespec alike storage got removed due to the Y2038 limitations
     some time ago.

     That leaves the odd union access around for no reason. Clean it up.

  Both changes have been done with coccinelle and a small amount of
  manual mopping up"

      Pull SMP hotplug notifier removal from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This is the final cleanup of the hotplug notifier infrastructure. The
  series has been reintgrated in the last two days because there came a
  new driver using the old infrastructure via the SCSI tree.

  Summary:

   - convert the last leftover drivers utilizing notifiers

   - fixup for a completely broken hotplug user

   - prevent setup of already used states

   - removal of the notifiers

   - treewide cleanup of hotplug state names

   - consolidation of state space

  There is a sphinx based documentation pending, but that needs review
  from the documentation folks"

      mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are waiting for a page bit · 62906027
      Nicholas Piggin authored 
      Add a new page flag, PageWaiters, to indicate the page waitqueue has
tasks waiting. This can be tested rather than testing waitqueue_active
which requires another cacheline load.

This bit is always set when the page has tasks on page_waitqueue(page),
and is set and cleared under the waitqueue lock. It may be set when
there are no tasks on the waitqueue, which will cause a harmless extra
wakeup check that will clears the bit.

The generic bit-waitqueue infrastructure is no longer used for pages.
Instead, waitqueues are used directly with a custom key type. The
generic code was not flexible enough to have PageWaiters manipulation
under the waitqueue lock (which simplifies concurrency).

This improves the performance of page lock intensive microbenchmarks by
2-3%.

Putting two bits in the same word opens the opportunity to remove the
memory barrier between clearing the lock bit and testing the waiters
bit, after some work on the arch primitives (e.g., ensuring memory
operand widths match and cover both bits).

      ktime: Cleanup ktime_set() usage · 8b0e1953
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      ktime_set(S,N) was required for the timespec storage type and is still
useful for situations where a Seconds and Nanoseconds part of a time value
needs to be converted. For anything where the Seconds argument is 0, this
is pointless and can be replaced with a simple assignment.

      ktime: Get rid of the union · 2456e855
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      ktime is a union because the initial implementation stored the time in
scalar nanoseconds on 64 bit machine and in a endianess optimized timespec
variant for 32bit machines. The Y2038 cleanup removed the timespec variant
and switched everything to scalar nanoseconds. The union remained, but
become completely pointless.

Get rid of the union and just keep ktime_t as simple typedef of type s64.

The conversion was done with coccinelle and some manual mopping up.

      irqchip/armada-xp: Consolidate hotplug state space · 008b69e4
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      The mpic is either the main interrupt controller or is cascaded behind a
GIC. The mpic is single instance and the modes are mutually exclusive, so
there is no reason to have seperate cpu hotplug states.

      Even if both drivers are compiled in only one instance can run on a given
system depending on the available GIC version.

So having seperate hotplug states for them is pointless.
