      x86_64, asm: Work around AMD SYSRET SS descriptor attribute issue · 61f01dd9
      Andy Lutomirski authored
      AMD CPUs don't reinitialize the SS descriptor on SYSRET, so SYSRET with
      SS == 0 results in an invalid usermode state in which SS is apparently
      equal to __USER_DS but causes #SS if used.
      
      Work around the issue by setting SS to __KERNEL_DS __switch_to, thus
      ensuring that SYSRET never happens with SS set to NULL.
      
      This was exposed by a recent vDSO cleanup.
      
      Fixes: e7d6eefa x86/vdso32/syscall.S: Do not load __USER32_DS to %ss

      Pull intel iommu updates from David Woodhouse:
       "This lays a little of the groundwork for upcoming Shared Virtual
        Memory support — fixing some bogus #defines for capability bits and
        adding the new ones, and starting to use the new wider page tables
        where we can, in anticipation of actually filling in the new fields
        therein.
      
        It also allows graphics devices to be assigned to VM guests again.
        This got broken in 3.17 by disallowing assignment of RMRR-afflicted
        devices.  Like USB, we do understand why there's an RMRR for graphics
        devices — and unlike USB, it's actually sane.  So we can make an
        exception for graphics devices, just as we do USB controllers.
      
        Finally, tone down the warning about the X2APIC_OPT_OUT bit, due to
        persistent requests.  X2APIC_OPT_OUT was added to the spec as a nasty
        hack to allow broken BIOSes to forbid us from using X2APIC when they
        do stupid and invasive things and would break if we did.
      
        Someone noticed that since Windows doesn't have full IOMMU support for
        DMA protection, setting the X2APIC_OPT_OUT bit made Windows avoid
        initialising the IOMMU on the graphics unit altogether.
      
        This means that it would be available for use in "driver mode", where
        the IOMMU registers are made available through a BAR of the graphics
        device and the graphics driver can do SVM all for itself.
      
        So they started setting the X2APIC_OPT_OUT bit on *all* platforms with
        SVM capabilities.  And even the platforms which *might*, if the
        planets had been aligned correctly, possibly have had SVM capability
        but which in practice actually don't"

           that don't answer to probe.  For the trackpad that can come up in
           two modes (bootloader or regular), this gets complicated since the
           driver already knows how to handle the two modes including the
           actual addresses used.  So now the laptop driver needs to know more
           too, instantiating the regular address even if the bootloader one

      platform/chrome: chromeos_laptop - instantiate Atmel at primary address · 96cba9b0
      Dmitry Torokhov authored
      The new Atmel MXT driver expects i2c client's address contain the
      primary (main address) of the chip, and calculates the expected
      bootloader address form the primary address. Unfortunately chrome_laptop
      does probe the devices and if touchpad (or touchscreen, or both) comes
      up in bootloader mode the i2c device gets instantiated with the
      bootloader address which confuses the driver.
      
      To work around this issue let's probe the primary address first. If the
      device is not detected at the primary address we'll probe alternative
      addresses as "dummy" devices. If any of them are found, destroy the
      dummy client and instantiate client with proper name at primary address
      still.

      RCU pathwalk breakage when running into a symlink overmounting something · 3cab989a
      Al Viro authored
      Calling unlazy_walk() in walk_component() and do_last() when we find
      a symlink that needs to be followed doesn't acquire a reference to vfsmount.
      That's fine when the symlink is on the same vfsmount as the parent directory
      (which is almost always the case), but it's not always true - one _can_
      manage to bind a symlink on top of something.  And in such cases we end up
      with excessive mntput().

      direct-io: only inc/dec inode->i_dio_count for file systems · fe0f07d0
      Jens Axboe authored
      do_blockdev_direct_IO() increments and decrements the inode
      ->i_dio_count for each IO operation. It does this to protect against
      truncate of a file. Block devices don't need this sort of protection.
      
      For a capable multiqueue setup, this atomic int is the only shared
      state between applications accessing the device for O_DIRECT, and it
      presents a scaling wall for that. In my testing, as much as 30% of
      system time is spent incrementing and decrementing this value. A mixed
      read/write workload improved from ~2.5M IOPS to ~9.6M IOPS, with
      better latencies too. Before:

      The more applications accessing the device, the worse it gets.
      
      Add a new direct-io flags, DIO_SKIP_DIO_COUNT, which tells
      do_blockdev_direct_IO() that it need not worry about incrementing
      or decrementing the inode i_dio_count for this caller.

      Btrfs: prevent list corruption during free space cache processing · a3bdccc4
      Chris Mason authored
      __btrfs_write_out_cache is holding the ctl->tree_lock while it prepares
      a list of bitmaps to record in the free space cache.  It was dropping
      the lock while it worked on other components, which made a window for
      free_bitmap() to free the bitmap struct without removing it from the
      list.
      
      This changes things to hold the lock the whole time, and also makes sure
      we hold the lock during enospc cleanup.

      toshiba_acpi: Do not register vendor backlight when acpi_video bl is available · 358d6a2c
      Hans de Goede authored
      commit a39f46df ("toshiba_acpi: Fix regression caused by backlight extra
      check code") causes the backlight to no longer work on the Toshiba Z30,
      reverting that commit fixes this but restores the original issue fixed
      by that commit.
      
      Looking at the toshiba_acpi backlight code for a fix for this I noticed that
      the toshiba code is the only code under platform/x86 which unconditionally
      registers a vendor acpi backlight interface, without checking for acpi_video
      backlight support first.
      
      This commit adds the necessary checks bringing toshiba_acpi in line with the
      other drivers, and fixing the Z30 regression without needing to revert the
      commit causing it.
      
      Chances are that there will be some Toshiba models which have a non working
      acpi-video implementation while the toshiba vendor backlight interface does
      work, this commit adds an empty dmi_id table where such systems can be added,
      this is identical to how other drivers handle such systems.

         - "experimental" code for managing md/raid1 across a cluster using

         - RAID5/6 can now batch multiple (4K wide) stripe_heads so as to
           handle a full (chunk wide) stripe as a single unit.
      
         - RAID6 can now perform read-modify-write cycles which should help
           performance on larger arrays: 6 or more devices.
      
         - RAID5/6 stripe cache now grows and shrinks dynamically.  The value
           set is used as a minimum.
      
         - Resync is now allowed to go a little faster than the 'mininum' when
           there is competing IO.  How much faster depends on the speed of the
           devices, so the effective minimum should scale with device speed to

      Pull second batch of devicetree updates from Rob Herring:
       "As Grant mentioned in the first devicetree pull request, here is the
        2nd batch of DT changes for 4.1.  The main remaining item here is the
        endianness bindings and related 8250 driver support.
      
         - DT endianness specification bindings
      
         - big-endian 8250 serial support
      
         - DT overlay unittest updates
      
         - various DT doc updates
      
         - compile fixes for OF_IRQ=n"
