       "This contains changes from the ongoing KASLR work, by Kees Cook.
      
        The main changes are the use of a read-only IDT on x86 (which
        decouples the userspace visible virtual IDT address from the physical
        address), and a rework of ELF relocation support, in preparation of
        random, boot-time kernel image relocation."

      Pull core timer updates from Ingo Molnar:
       "The main changes in this cycle's merge are:
      
         - Implement shadow timekeeper to shorten in kernel reader side
           blocking, by Thomas Gleixner.
      
         - Posix timers enhancements by Pavel Emelyanov:
      
         - allocate timer ID per process, so that exact timer ID allocations
           can be re-created be checkpoint/restore code.
      
         - debuggability and tooling (/proc/PID/timers, etc.) improvements.
      
         - suspend/resume enhancements by Feng Tang: on certain new Intel Atom
           processors (Penwell and Cloverview), there is a feature that the
           TSC won't stop in S3 state, so the TSC value won't be reset to 0
           after resume.  This can be taken advantage of by the generic via
           the CLOCK_SOURCE_SUSPEND_NONSTOP flag: instead of using the RTC to
           recover/approximate sleep time, the main (and precise) clocksource
           can be used.
      
         - Fix /proc/timer_list for 4096 CPUs by Nathan Zimmer: on so many
           CPUs the file goes beyond 4MB of size and thus the current
           simplistic seqfile approach fails.  Convert /proc/timer_list to a
           proper seq_file with its own iterator.
      
         - Cleanups and refactorings of the core timekeeping code by John
           Stultz.
      
         - International Atomic Clock time is managed by the NTP code
           internally currently but not exposed externally.  Separate the TAI
           code out and add CLOCK_TAI support and TAI support to the hrtimer
           and posix-timer code, by John Stultz.
      
         - Add deep idle support enhacement to the broadcast clockevents core
           timer code, by Daniel Lezcano: add an opt-in CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_DYNIRQ
           clockevents feature (which will be utilized by future clockevents
           driver updates), which allows the use of IRQ affinities to avoid
           spurious wakeups of idle CPUs - the right CPU with an expiring
           timer will be woken.
      
         - Add new ARM bcm281xx clocksource driver, by Christian Daudt
      
         - ... various other fixes and cleanups"

        posix-timers: Remove unused variable
        clockevents: Switch into oneshot mode even if broadcast registered late
        timer_list: Convert timer list to be a proper seq_file
        timer_list: Split timer_list_show_tickdevices
        posix-timers: Show sigevent info in proc file
        posix-timers: Introduce /proc/PID/timers file
        posix timers: Allocate timer id per process (v2)

        hrtimer: Fix ktime_add_ns() overflow on 32bit architectures
        hrtimer: Add expiry time overflow check in hrtimer_interrupt
        timekeeping: Shorten seq_count region
        timekeeping: Implement a shadow timekeeper
        timekeeping: Delay update of clock->cycle_last
        timekeeping: Store cycle_last value in timekeeper struct as well
        ntp: Remove ntp_lock, using the timekeeping locks to protect ntp state
        timekeeping: Simplify tai updating from do_adjtimex
        timekeeping: Hold timekeepering locks in do_adjtimex and hardpps

      Pull SMP/hotplug changes from Ingo Molnar:
       "This is a pretty large, multi-arch series unifying and generalizing
        the various disjunct pieces of idle routines that architectures have
        historically copied from each other and have grown in random, wildly
        inconsistent and sometimes buggy directions:
      
         101 files changed, 455 insertions(+), 1328 deletions(-)
      
        this went through a number of review and test iterations before it was
        committed, it was tested on various architectures, was exposed to
        linux-next for quite some time - nevertheless it might cause problems
        on architectures that don't read the mailing lists and don't regularly
        test linux-next.
      
        This cat herding excercise was motivated by the -rt kernel, and was
        brought to you by Thomas "the Whip" Gleixner."

      Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
      
       - Fixes and a lot of cleanups.  Locking cleanup is finally complete.
         cgroup_mutex is no longer exposed to individual controlelrs which
         used to cause nasty deadlock issues.  Li fixed and cleaned up quite a
         bit including long standing ones like racy cgroup_path().
      
       - device cgroup now supports proper hierarchy thanks to Aristeu.
      
       - perf_event cgroup now supports proper hierarchy.
      
       - A new mount option "__DEVEL__sane_behavior" is added.  As indicated
         by the name, this option is to be used for development only at this
         point and generates a warning message when used.  Unfortunately,
         cgroup interface currently has too many brekages and inconsistencies
         to implement a consistent and unified hierarchy on top.  The new flag
         is used to collect the behavior changes which are necessary to
         implement consistent unified hierarchy.  It's likely that this flag
         won't be used verbatim when it becomes ready but will be enabled
         implicitly along with unified hierarchy.
      
         The option currently disables some of broken behaviors in cgroup core
         and also .use_hierarchy switch in memcg (will be routed through -mm),
         which can be used to make very unusual hierarchy where nesting is
         partially honored.  It will also be used to implement hierarchy
         support for blk-throttle which would be impossible otherwise without
         introducing a full separate set of control knobs.
      
         This is essentially versioning of interface which isn't very nice but
         at this point I can't see any other options which would allow keeping
         the interface the same while moving towards hierarchy behavior which
         is at least somewhat sane.  The planned unified hierarchy is likely
         to require some level of adaptation from userland anyway, so I think
         it'd be best to take the chance and update the interface such that
         it's supportable in the long term.
      
         Maintaining the existing interface does complicate cgroup core but
         shouldn't put too much strain on individual controllers and I think
         it'd be manageable for the foreseeable future.  Maybe we'll be able
         to drop it in a decade.
      
      Fix up conflicts (including a semantic one adding a new #include to ppc
      that was uncovered by header the file changes) as per Tejun.

      Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
       "A lot of activities on workqueue side this time.  The changes achieve
        the followings.
      
         - WQ_UNBOUND workqueues - the workqueues which are per-cpu - are
           updated to be able to interface with multiple backend worker pools.
           This involved a lot of churning but the end result seems actually
           neater as unbound workqueues are now a lot closer to per-cpu ones.
      
         - The ability to interface with multiple backend worker pools are
           used to implement unbound workqueues with custom attributes.
           Currently the supported attributes are the nice level and CPU
           affinity.  It may be expanded to include cgroup association in
           future.  The attributes can be specified either by calling
           apply_workqueue_attrs() or through /sys/bus/workqueue/WQ_NAME/* if
           the workqueue in question is exported through sysfs.
      
           The backend worker pools are keyed by the actual attributes and
           shared by any workqueues which share the same attributes.  When
           attributes of a workqueue are changed, the workqueue binds to the
           worker pool with the specified attributes while leaving the work
           items which are already executing in its previous worker pools
           alone.
      
           This allows converting custom worker pool implementations which
           want worker attribute tuning to use workqueues.  The writeback pool
           is already converted in block tree and there are a couple others
           are likely to follow including btrfs io workers.
      
         - WQ_UNBOUND's ability to bind to multiple worker pools is also used
           to make it NUMA-aware.  Because there's no association between work
           item issuer and the specific worker assigned to execute it, before
           this change, using unbound workqueue led to unnecessary cross-node
           bouncing and it couldn't be helped by autonuma as it requires tasks
           to have implicit node affinity and workers are assigned randomly.
      
           After these changes, an unbound workqueue now binds to multiple
           NUMA-affine worker pools so that queued work items are executed in
           the same node.  This is turned on by default but can be disabled
           system-wide or for individual workqueues.
      
           Crypto was requesting NUMA affinity as encrypting data across
           different nodes can contribute noticeable overhead and doing it
           per-cpu was too limiting for certain cases and IO throughput could
           be bottlenecked by one CPU being fully occupied while others have
           idle cycles.
      
        While the new features required a lot of changes including
        restructuring locking, it didn't complicate the execution paths much.
        The unbound workqueue handling is now closer to per-cpu ones and the
        new features are implemented by simply associating a workqueue with
        different sets of backend worker pools without changing queue,
        execution or flush paths.
      
        As such, even though the amount of change is very high, I feel
        relatively safe in that it isn't likely to cause subtle issues with
        basic correctness of work item execution and handling.  If something
        is wrong, it's likely to show up as being associated with worker pools
        with the wrong attributes or OOPS while workqueue attributes are being
        changed or during CPU hotplug.
      
        While this creates more backend worker pools, it doesn't add too many
        more workers unless, of course, there are many workqueues with unique
        combinations of attributes.  Assuming everything else is the same,
        NUMA awareness costs an extra worker pool per NUMA node with online
        CPUs.
      
        There are also a couple things which are being routed outside the
        workqueue tree.
      
         - block tree pulled in workqueue for-3.10 so that writeback worker
           pool can be converted to unbound workqueue with sysfs control
           exposed.  This simplifies the code, makes writeback workers
           NUMA-aware and allows tuning nice level and CPU affinity via sysfs.
      
         - The conversion to workqueue means that there's no 1:1 association
           between a specific worker, which makes writeback folks unhappy as
           they want to be able to tell which filesystem caused a problem from
           backtrace on systems with many filesystems mounted.  This is
           resolved by allowing work items to set debug info string which is
           printed when the task is dumped.  As this change involves unifying
           implementations of dump_stack() and friends in arch codes, it's
           being routed through Andrew's -mm tree."

      Use preferable function name which implies using a pseudo-random
      number generator.

      x86: pageattr-test: remove srandom32 call · 4a7b4d23
      Akinobu Mita authored
      pageattr-test calls srandom32() once every test iteration.  But calling
      srandom32() after late_initcalls is not meaningfull.  Because the random
      states for random32() is mixed by good random numbers in late_initcall
      prandom_reseed().
      
      So this removes the call to srandom32().
