f4bc6bb2d5 tracing: Cleanup the convoluted softirq tracepoints
With the addition of trace_softirq_raise() the softirq tracepoint got
even more convoluted. Why the tracepoints take two pointers to assign
an integer is beyond my comprehension.

But adding an extra case which treats the first pointer as an unsigned
long when the second pointer is NULL including the back and forth
type casting is just horrible.

Convert the softirq tracepoints to take a single unsigned int argument
for the softirq vector number and fix the call sites.

d580ff8699 perf, hw_breakpoint: Fix crash in hw_breakpoint creation
hw_breakpoint creation needs to account stuff per-task to ensure there
is always sufficient hardware resources to back these things due to
ptrace.

With the perf per pmu context changes the event initialization no
longer has access to the event context, for the simple reason that we
need to first find the pmu (result of initialization) before we can
find the context.

This makes hw_breakpoints unhappy, because it can no longer do per
task accounting, cure this by frobbing a task pointer in the event::hw
bits for now...

e360adbe29 irq_work: Add generic hardirq context callbacks
Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.

Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
benefit.

The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.

Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
processing the work.

b3b3a9b63f oprofile: fix linker errors
Commit e9677b3ce (oprofile, ARM: Use oprofile_arch_exit() to
cleanup on failure) caused oprofile_perf_exit to be called
in the cleanup path of oprofile_perf_init. The __exit tag
for oprofile_perf_exit should therefore be dropped.

The same has to be done for exit_driverfs as well, as this
function is called from oprofile_perf_exit. Else, we get
the following two linker errors.

231d0aefd8 wait: using uninitialized member of wait queue
The "flags" member of "struct wait_queue_t" is used in several places in
the kernel code without beeing initialized by init_wait().  "flags" is
used in bitwise operations.

If "flags" not initialized then unexpected behaviour may take place.
Incorrect flags might used later in code.

Added initialization of "wait_queue_t.flags" with zero value into
"init_wait".

5336377d62 modules: Fix module_bug_list list corruption race
With all the recent module loading cleanups, we've minimized the code
that sits under module_mutex, fixing various deadlocks and making it
possible to do most of the module loading in parallel.

However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code
that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling.  That code was
doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for
dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific
"module_finalize()" rather than from generic code.

Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin
with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the
module loading lock any more.

So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away
from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the
process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations
are now safe.

Future fixups:
 - move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it
   belongs.
 - get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules
   (called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain
   for other reasons.

01db403cf9 tcp: Fix >4GB writes on 64-bit.
Fixes kernel bugzilla #16603

tcp_sendmsg() truncates iov_len to an 'int' which a 4GB write to write
zero bytes, for example.

There is also the problem higher up of how verify_iovec() works.  It
wants to prevent the total length from looking like an error return
value.

However it does this using 'int', but syscalls return 'long' (and
thus signed 64-bit on 64-bit machines).  So it could trigger
false-positives on 64-bit as written.  So fix it to use 'long'.

4c894f47bb x86/amd-iommu: Work around S3 BIOS bug
This patch adds a workaround for an IOMMU BIOS problem to
the AMD IOMMU driver. The result of the bug is that the
IOMMU does not execute commands anymore when the system
comes out of the S3 state resulting in system failure. The
bug in the BIOS is that is does not restore certain hardware
specific registers correctly. This workaround reads out the
contents of these registers at boot time and restores them
on resume from S3. The workaround is limited to the specific
IOMMU chipset where this problem occurs.

ARM needs to clip the dma coherent mask for dmabounce devices. This

Note that strictly speaking, the DMA API doesn't allow architectures to do
such but I'm not sure it's worth adding the new API to set the dma mask
that allows architectures to clip it.

be patched with a jump to the slowpath code. This is useful for code which
might be rarely used, but which we'd like to be able to call, if needed.
Tracepoints are the current usecase that these are being implemented for.

8b15575cae fs: {lock,unlock}_flocks() stubs to prepare for BKL removal
The lock structs are currently protected by the BKL, but are accessed by
code in fs/locks.c and misc file system and DLM code.  These stubs will
allow all users to switch to the new interface before the implementation
is changed to a spinlock.

f0f9deae9e netpoll: Disable IRQ around RCU dereference in netpoll_rx
We cannot use rcu_dereference_bh safely in netpoll_rx as we may
be called with IRQs disabled.  We could however simply disable
IRQs as that too causes BH to be disabled and is safe in either
case.

Thanks to John Linville for discovering this bug and providing
a patch.

e9d2b06414 perf: Undo the per cpu-context timer stuff
Revert the timer per cpu-context timers because of unfortunate
nohz interaction. Fixing that would have been somewhat ugly, so
go back to driving things from the regular tick. Provide a
jiffies interval feature for people who want slower rotations.

b04243ef70 perf: Complete software pmu grouping
Aside from allowing software events into a !software group,
allow adding !software events to pure software groups.

Once we've moved the software group and attached the first
!software event, the group will no longer be a pure software
group and hence no longer be eligible for movement, at which
point the straight ctx comparison is correct again.

38a81da220 perf events: Clean up pid passing
The kernel perf event creation path shouldn't use find_task_by_vpid()
because a vpid exists in a specific namespace. find_task_by_vpid() uses
current's pid namespace which isn't always the correct namespace to use
for the vpid in all the places perf_event_create_kernel_counter() (and
thus find_get_context()) is called.

The goal is to clean up pid namespace handling and prevent bugs like:

	https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17281

Instead of using pids switch find_get_context() to use task struct
pointers directly. The syscall is responsible for resolving the pid to
a task struct. This moves the pid namespace resolution into the syscall
much like every other syscall that takes pid parameters.
