3d7ded4d81 ceph: release cap on import if we don't have the inode
If we get an IMPORT that give us a cap, but we don't have the inode, queue
a release (and try to send it immediately) so that the MDS doesn't get
stuck waiting for us.

14e45c15e1 sata_sil24: memset() overflow
cb->atapi.cdb is an array of 16 u8 elements.  The call too memset()
would set the first part of the sge array to zero as well.  It's not
a packed struct.

This one has been around for five years.  I found it with Smatch.  I
think the reason no one has seen it before is because we normally call
sil24_fill_sg() and that overwrites sge with proper information?

6db40cf047 pipe: fix check in "set size" fcntl
As it stands this check compares the number of pages to the page size.
This makes no sense and makes the fcntl fail in almost any sane case.

Fix it by checking if nr_pages is not zero (it can become zero only if
arg is too big and round_pipe_size() overflows).

619baba195 gianfar: Revive the driver for eTSEC devices (disable timestamping)
Since commit cc772ab7cd ("gianfar: Add
hardware RX timestamping support"), the driver no longer works on
at least MPC8313ERDB and MPC8568EMDS boards (and possibly much more
boards as well).

That's how MPC8313 Reference Manual describes RCTRL_TS_ENABLE bit:

  Timestamp incoming packets as padding bytes. PAL field is set
  to 8 if the PAL field is programmed to less than 8. Must be set
  to zero if TMR_CTRL[TE]=0.

I see that the commit above sets this bit, but it doesn't handle
TMR_CTRL. Manfred probably had this bit set by the firmware for
his boards. But obviously this isn't true for all boards in the
wild.

Also, I recall that Freescale BSPs were explicitly disabling the
timestamping because of a performance drop.

For now, the best way to deal with this is just disable the
timestamping, and later we can discuss proper device tree bindings
and implement enabling this feature via some property.

a7f5378e24 FRV: Reinstate null behaviour for the GDB remote protocol 'p' command
Reinstate the null behaviour that the in-kernel gdbstub had for the GDB
remote protocol 'p' command (retrieve a single register value) prior to
commit 7ca8b9c0da ("frv: extend gdbstub to support more features of
gdb").

Before that, the 'p' command just returned an empty reply, which causes
gdb to then go and use the 'g' command.  However, since that commit, the
'p' command returns an error string, which causes gdb to abort its
connection to the target.

Not all gdb versions are affected, some use try 'g' first, and if that
works, don't bother with 'p', and so don't see the error.

Currently the only case where this occurs is when a non-leaf spte pointer is

The commit "asm-generic: add NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH to define sg_dma_len()"
18e98307de broke microblaze compilation.

dma_direct_map_sg() sets sg->dma_length, however microblaze doesn't
set NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH so scatterlist strcutres doesn't include
dma_length.

sg->dma_length is always equal to sg->length on microblaze. So we
don't need to set set dma_length, that is, microblaze can simply use
sg->length.

76cbd8a8f8 powerpc: Enable asymmetric SMT scheduling on POWER7
The POWER7 core has dynamic SMT mode switching which is controlled by
the hypervisor.  There are 3 SMT modes:
	SMT1 uses thread  0
	SMT2 uses threads 0 & 1
	SMT4 uses threads 0, 1, 2 & 3
When in any particular SMT mode, all threads have the same performance
as each other (ie. at any moment in time, all threads perform the same).

The SMT mode switching works such that when linux has threads 2 & 3 idle
and 0 & 1 active, it will cede (H_CEDE hypercall) threads 2 and 3 in the
idle loop and the hypervisor will automatically switch to SMT2 for that
core (independent of other cores).  The opposite is not true, so if
threads 0 & 1 are idle and 2 & 3 are active, we will stay in SMT4 mode.

Similarly if thread 0 is active and threads 1, 2 & 3 are idle, we'll go
into SMT1 mode.

If we can get the core into a lower SMT mode (SMT1 is best), the threads
will perform better (since they share less core resources).  Hence when
we have idle threads, we want them to be the higher ones.

This adds a feature bit for asymmetric packing to powerpc and then
enables it on POWER7.

532cb4c401 sched: Add asymmetric group packing option for sibling domain
Check to see if the group is packed in a sched doman.

This is primarily intended to used at the sibling level.  Some cores
like POWER7 prefer to use lower numbered SMT threads.  In the case of
POWER7, it can move to lower SMT modes only when higher threads are
idle.  When in lower SMT modes, the threads will perform better since
they share less core resources.  Hence when we have idle threads, we
want them to be the higher ones.

This adds a hook into f_b_g() called check_asym_packing() to check the
packing.  This packing function is run on idle threads.  It checks to
see if the busiest CPU in this domain (core in the P7 case) has a
higher CPU number than what where the packing function is being run
on.  If it is, calculate the imbalance and return the higher busier
thread as the busiest group to f_b_g().  Here we are assuming a lower
CPU number will be equivalent to a lower SMT thread number.

It also creates a new SD_ASYM_PACKING flag to enable this feature at
any scheduler domain level.

It also creates an arch hook to enable this feature at the sibling
level.  The default function doesn't enable this feature.

Based heavily on patch from Peter Zijlstra.

9d5efe05eb sched: Fix capacity calculations for SMT4
Handle cpu capacity being reported as 0 on cores with more number of
hardware threads. For example on a Power7 core with 4 hardware
threads, core power is 1177 and thus power of each hardware thread is
1177/4 = 294. This low power can lead to capacity for each hardware
thread being calculated as 0, which leads to tasks bouncing within the
core madly!

Fix this by reporting capacity for hardware threads as 1, provided
their power is not scaled down significantly because of frequency
scaling or real-time tasks usage of cpu.

83cd4fe27a sched: Change nohz idle load balancing logic to push model
In the new push model, all idle CPUs indeed go into nohz mode. There is
still the concept of idle load balancer (performing the load balancing
on behalf of all the idle cpu's in the system). Busy CPU kicks the nohz
balancer when any of the nohz CPUs need idle load balancing.
The kickee CPU does the idle load balancing on behalf of all idle CPUs
instead of the normal idle balance.

This addresses the below two problems with the current nohz ilb logic:
* the idle load balancer continued to have periodic ticks during idle and
  wokeup frequently, even though it did not have any rebalancing to do on
  behalf of any of the idle CPUs.
* On x86 and CPUs that have APIC timer stoppage on idle CPUs, this
  periodic wakeup can result in a periodic additional interrupt on a CPU
  doing the timer broadcast.

Also currently we are migrating the unpinned timers from an idle to the cpu
doing idle load balancing (when all the cpus in the system are idle,
there is no idle load balancing cpu and timers get added to the same idle cpu
where the request was made. So the existing optimization works only on semi idle
system).

And In semi idle system, we no longer have periodic ticks on the idle load
balancer CPU. Using that cpu will add more delays to the timers than intended
(as that cpu's timer base may not be uptodate wrt jiffies etc). This was
causing mysterious slowdowns during boot etc.

For now, in the semi idle case, use the nearest busy cpu for migrating timers
from an idle cpu.  This is good for power-savings anyway.

fdf3e95d39 sched: Avoid side-effect of tickless idle on update_cpu_load
tickless idle has a negative side effect on update_cpu_load(), which
in turn can affect load balancing behavior.

update_cpu_load() is supposed to be called every tick, to keep track
of various load indicies. With tickless idle, there are no scheduler
ticks called on the idle CPUs. Idle CPUs may still do load balancing
(with idle_load_balance CPU) using the stale cpu_load. It will also
cause problems when all CPUs go idle for a while and become active
again. In this case loads would not degrade as expected.

This is how rq->nr_load_updates change looks like under different
conditions:

<cpu_num> <nr_load_updates change>
All CPUS idle for 10 seconds (HZ=1000)
0 1621
10 496
11 139
12 875
13 1672
14 12
15 21
1 1472
2 2426
3 1161
4 2108
5 1525
6 701
7 249
8 766
9 1967

0 10003
10 601
11 95
12 966
13 1597
14 114
15 98
1 3457
2 93
3 6679
4 1425
5 1479
6 595
7 193
8 633
9 1687

All CPUs busy for 10 seconds
0 10026
10 10026
11 10026
12 10026
13 10025
14 10025
15 10025
1 10026
2 10026
3 10026
4 10026
5 10026
6 10026
7 10026
8 10026
9 10026

That is update_cpu_load works properly only when all CPUs are busy.
If all are idle, all the CPUs get way lower updates.  And when few
CPUs are busy and rest are idle, only busy and ilb CPU does proper
updates and rest of the idle CPUs will do lower updates.

The patch keeps track of when a last update was done and fixes up
the load avg based on current time.

On one of my test system SPECjbb with warehouse 1..numcpus, patch
improves throughput numbers by ~1% (average of 6 runs).  On another
test system (with different domain hierarchy) there is no noticable
change in perf.

246d86b518 sched: Simplify the reacquire_kernel_lock() logic
- Contrary to what 6d558c3a says, there is no need to reload
  prev = rq->curr after the context switch. You always schedule
  back to where you came from, prev must be equal to current
  even if cpu/rq was changed.

- This also means reacquire_kernel_lock() can use prev instead
  of current.

- No need to reassign switch_count if reacquire_kernel_lock()
  reports need_resched(), we can just move the initial assignment
  down, under the "need_resched_nonpreemptible:" label.

- Try to update the comment after context_switch().
