In struct gen_pool_chunk, end_addr means the end address of memory chunk
(inclusive), but in the implementation it is treated as address + size of
memory chunk (exclusive), so it points to the address plus one instead of
correct ending address.
The ending address of memory chunk plus one will cause overflow on the
memory chunk including the last address of memory map, e.g. when starting
address is 0xFFF00000 and size is 0x100000 on 32bit machine, ending
address will be 0x100000000.
Use correct ending address like starting address + size - 1.

"Add the ability to collect I/O statistics on user-defined regions of a

The only actual current lockref user (dcache) uses zero reference counts
even for perfectly live dentries, because it's a cache: there may not be
any users, but that doesn't mean that we want to throw away the dentry.
At the same time, the dentry cache does have a notion of a truly "dead"
dentry that we must not even increment the reference count of, because
we have pruned it and it is not valid.
Currently that distinction is not visible in the lockref itself, and the
dentry cache validation uses "lockref_get_or_lock()" to either get a new
reference to a dentry that already had existing references (and thus
cannot be dead), or get the dentry lock so that we can then verify the
dentry and increment the reference count under the lock if that
verification was successful.
That's all somewhat complicated.
This adds the concept of being "dead" to the lockref itself, by simply
using a count that is negative. This allows a usage scenario where we
can increment the refcount of a dentry without having to validate it,
and pushing the special "we killed it" case into the lockref code.
The dentry code itself doesn't actually use this yet, and it's probably
too late in the merge window to do that code (the dentry_kill() code
with its "should I decrement the count" logic really is pretty complex
code), but let's introduce the concept at the lockref level now.

Frame pointer on ARC doesn't serve the conventional purpose of stack
unwinding due to the typical way ABI designates it's usage.
Thus it's explicit usage on ARC is discouraged (gcc is free to use it,
for some tricky stack frames even if -fomit-frame-pointer).
Hence no point enabling it for ARC.

Pull Xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"A couple of features and a ton of bug-fixes. There is also some
maintership changes. Jeremy is enjoying the full-time work at the
startup and as much as he would love to help - he can't find the time.
I have a bunch of other things that I promised to work on - paravirt
diet, get SWIOTLB working everywhere, etc, but haven't been able to
find the time.
As such both David Vrabel and Boris Ostrovsky have graciously
volunteered to help with the maintership role. They will keep the lid
on regressions, bug-fixes, etc. I will be in the background to help -
but eventually there will be less of me doing the Xen GIT pulls and
more of them. Stefano is still doing the ARM/ARM64 and will continue
on doing so.
Features:
- Xen Trusted Platform Module (TPM) frontend driver - with the
backend in MiniOS.
- Scalability improvements in event channel.
- Two extra Xen co-maintainers (David, Boris) and one going away (Jeremy)
Bug-fixes:
- Make the 1:1 mapping work during early bootup on selective regions.
- Add scratch page to balloon driver to deal with unexpected code
still holding on stale pages.
- Allow NMIs on PV guests (64-bit only)
- Remove unnecessary TLB flush in M2P code.
- Fixes duplicate callbacks in Xen granttable code.
- Fixes in PRIVCMD_MMAPBATCH ioctls to allow retries
- Fix for events being lost due to rescheduling on different VCPUs.

Instead of taking the spinlock, the lockless versions atomically check
that the lock is not taken, and do the reference count update using a
cmpxchg() loop. This is semantically identical to doing the reference
count update protected by the lock, but avoids the "wait for lock"
contention that you get when accesses to the reference count are
contended.
Note that a "lockref" is absolutely _not_ equivalent to an atomic_t.
Even when the lockref reference counts are updated atomically with
cmpxchg, the fact that they also verify the state of the spinlock means
that the lockless updates can never happen while somebody else holds the
spinlock.
So while "lockref_put_or_lock()" looks a lot like just another name for
"atomic_dec_and_lock()", and both optimize to lockless updates, they are
fundamentally different: the decrement done by atomic_dec_and_lock() is
truly independent of any lock (as long as it doesn't decrement to zero),
so a locked region can still see the count change.
The lockref structure, in contrast, really is a *locked* reference
count. If you hold the spinlock, the reference count will be stable and
you can modify the reference count without using atomics, because even
the lockless updates will see and respect the state of the lock.
In order to enable the cmpxchg lockless code, the architecture needs to
do three things:
(1) Make sure that the "arch_spinlock_t" and an "unsigned int" can fit
in an aligned u64, and have a "cmpxchg()" implementation that works
on such a u64 data type.
(2) define a helper function to test for a spinlock being unlocked
("arch_spin_value_unlocked()")
(3) select the "ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF" config variable in its
Kconfig file.
This enables it for x86-64 (but not 32-bit, we'd need to make sure
cmpxchg() turns into the proper cmpxchg8b in order to enable it for
32-bit mode).

They aren't very good to inline, since they already call external
functions (the spinlock code), and we're going to create rather more

Don't allow mounting sysfs unless the caller has CAP_SYS_ADMIN rights
over the net namespace. The principle here is if you create or have
capabilities over it you can mount it, otherwise you get to live with
what other people have mounted.
Instead of testing this with a straight forward ns_capable call,
perform this check the long and torturous way with kobject helpers,
this keeps direct knowledge of namespaces out of sysfs, and preserves
the existing sysfs abstractions.

This change adds TILE-Gx SIMD instructions to the software raid
(md), modeling the Altivec implementation. This is only for Syndrome
generation; there is more that could be done to improve recovery,
as in the recent Intel SSE3 recovery implementation.
The code unrolls 8 times; this turns out to be the best on tilegx
hardware among the set 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16. The code reads one
cache-line of data from each disk, stores P and Q then goes to the
next cache-line.
The test code in sys/linux/lib/raid6/test reports 2008 MB/s data
read rate for syndrome generation using 18 disks (16 data and 2
parity). It was 1512 MB/s before this SIMD optimizations. This is
running on 1 core with all the data in cache.
This is based on the paper The Mathematics of RAID-6.

Commit f792685006274a850e6cc0ea9ade275ccdfc90bc ("math64: New
div64_u64_rem helper") implemented div64_u64 in terms of div64_u64_rem.
But div64_u64_rem was removed because it slowed down div64_u64 (and
there were no other users of div64_u64_rem).
Device Mapper's I/O statistics support has a need for div64_u64_rem;
reintroduce this helper as a separate method that doesn't slow down
div64_u64, especially on 32-bit systems.

In order to better respond to things like duplicate invocations
of call_rcu(), RCU needs to see the status of a call to

The comments of find_cpio_data() says:
* @offset: When a matching file is found, this is the offset to the
* beginning of the cpio. ......
But according to the code,
dptr = PTR_ALIGN(p + ch[C_NAMESIZE], 4);
nptr = PTR_ALIGN(dptr + ch[C_FILESIZE], 4);
....
*offset = (long)nptr - (long)data; /* data is the cpio file */
@offset is the offset of the next file, not the matching file itself.
This is confused and may cause unnecessary waste of time to debug.
So fix it.
As Tejun Heo suggested, rename @offset to @nextoff which is more clear
to users. And also adjust the new comments.

Implement debugging for kobject release functions. kobjects are
reference counted, so the drop of the last reference to them is not
predictable. However, the common case is for the last reference to be
the kobject's removal from a subsystem, which results in the release
function being immediately called.
This can hide subtle bugs, which can occur when another thread holds a
reference to the kobject at the same time that a kobject is removed.
This results in the release method being delayed.
In order to make these kinds of problems more visible, the following
patch implements a delayed release; this has the effect that the
release function will be out of order with respect to the removal of
the kobject in the same manner that it would be if a reference was
being held.
This provides us with an easy way to allow driver writers to debug
their drivers and fix otherwise hidden problems.

Comments from Ard Biesheuvel:
I have included two use cases that I have been using, XOR and RAID-6
checksumming. The former gets a 60% performance boost on the NEON, the
latter over 400%.
ARM: add support for kernel mode NEON
Adds kernel_neon_begin/end (renamed from kernel_vfp_begin/end in the
previous version to de-emphasize the VFP part as VFP code that needs
software assistance is not supported currently.)
Introduces <asm/neon.h> and the Kconfig symbol KERNEL_MODE_NEON. This
has been aligned with Catalin for arm64, so any NEON code that does
not use assembly but intrinsics or the GCC vectorizer (such as my
examples) can potentially be shared between arm and arm64 archs.
ARM: move VFP init to an earlier boot stage
This is needed so the NEON is enabled when the XOR and RAID-6 algo
boot time benchmarks are run.
ARM: be strict about FP exceptions in kernel mode
This adds a check to vfp_support_entry() to flag unsupported uses of
the NEON/VFP in kernel mode. FP exceptions (bounces) are flagged as
a bug, this is because of their potentially intermittent nature.
Exceptions caused by the fact that kernel_neon_begin has not been
called are just routed through the undef handler.
ARM: crypto: add NEON accelerated XOR implementation
This is the xor_blocks() implementation built with -ftree-vectorize,
60% faster than optimized ARM code. It calls in_interrupt() to check
whether the NEON flavor can be used: this should really not be
necessary, but due to xor_blocks'squite generic nature, there is no
telling how exactly people may be using it in the real world.
lib/raid6: add ARM-NEON accelerated syndrome calculation
This is a port of the RAID-6 checksumming code in altivec.uc ported
to use NEON intrinsics. It is about 4x faster than the sequential
code.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in
the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include)
that don't really have a specific maintainer.

1. This is mostly theoretical, but llist_add*() need ACCESS_ONCE().
Otherwise it is not guaranteed that the first cmpxchg() uses the
same value for old_entry and new_last->next.
2. These helpers cache the result of cmpxchg() and read the initial
value of head->first before the main loop. I do not think this
makes sense. In the likely case cmpxchg() succeeds, otherwise
it doesn't hurt to reload head->first.
I think it would be better to simplify the code and simply read
->first before cmpxchg().

25) VLAN offloads are missed when configured on top of a bridge, fix
from Vlad Yasevich.
26) Support IPV6 in ping sockets. From Lorenzo Colitti.
27) Receive flow steering targets should be updated at poll() time
too, from David Majnemer.
28) Fix several corner case regressions in PMTU/redirect handling due
