RCU grace-period cleanup is currently carried out with interrupts
disabled, which can result in excessive latency spikes on large systems
(many hundreds or thousands of CPUs). This patch therefore makes the
RCU grace-period cleanup be preemptible, including voluntary preemption
points, which should eliminate those latency spikes. Similar spikes from
forcing of quiescent states will be dealt with similarly by later patches.
Updated to replace uses of spin_lock_irqsave() with spin_lock_irq(), as
suggested by Peter Zijlstra.

As a first step towards allowing grace-period cleanup to be preemptible,
this commit moves the RCU grace-period cleanup into the same kthread
that is now used to initialize grace periods. This is needed to keep
scheduling latency down to a dull roar.

RCU grace-period initialization is currently carried out with interrupts
disabled, which can result in 200-microsecond latency spikes on systems
on which RCU has been configured for 4096 CPUs. This patch therefore
makes the RCU grace-period initialization be preemptible, which should
eliminate those latency spikes. Similar spikes from grace-period cleanup
and the forcing of quiescent states will be dealt with similarly by later
patches.

The next step in reducing RCU's grace-period initialization latency on
large systems will make this initialization preemptible. Unfortunately,
making the grace-period initialization subject to interrupts (let alone
preemption) exposes the following race on systems whose rcu_node tree
contains more than one node:
1. CPU 31 starts initializing the grace period, including the
first leaf rcu_node structures, and is then preempted.
2. CPU 0 refers to the first leaf rcu_node structure, and notes
that a new grace period has started. It passes through a
quiescent state shortly thereafter, and informs the RCU core
of this rite of passage.
3. CPU 0 enters an RCU read-side critical section, acquiring
a pointer to an RCU-protected data item.
4. CPU 31 takes an interrupt whose handler removes the data item
referenced by CPU 0 from the data structure, and registers an
RCU callback in order to free it.
5. CPU 31 resumes initializing the grace period, including its
own rcu_node structure. In invokes rcu_start_gp_per_cpu(),
which advances all callbacks, including the one registered
in #4 above, to be handled by the current grace period.
6. The remaining CPUs pass through quiescent states and inform
the RCU core, but CPU 0 remains in its RCU read-side critical
section, still referencing the now-removed data item.
7. The grace period completes and all the callbacks are invoked,
including the one that frees the data item that CPU 0 is still
referencing. Oops!!!
One way to avoid this race is to remove grace-period acceleration from
rcu_start_gp_per_cpu(). Now, the only reason for this acceleration was
to allow CPUs bringing RCU out of idle state to have their callbacks
invoked after only one grace period, rather than the two grace periods
that would otherwise be required. But this acceleration does not
work when RCU grace-period initialization is moved to a kthread because
the CPU posting the callback is no longer necessarily the CPU that is
initializing the resulting grace period.
This commit therefore removes this now-pointless (and soon to be dangerous)
grace-period acceleration, thus avoiding the above race.

As the first step towards allowing grace-period initialization to be
preemptible, this commit moves the RCU grace-period initialization
into its own kthread. This is needed to keep large-system scheduling
latency at reasonable levels.
Also change raw_spin_lock_irqsave() to raw_spin_lock_irq() as suggested
by Peter Zijlstra in review comments.

Each grace period is supposed to have at least one callback waiting
for that grace period to complete. However, if CONFIG_NO_HZ=n, an
extra callback-free grace period is no big problem -- it will chew up
a tiny bit of CPU time, but it will complete normally. In contrast,
CONFIG_NO_HZ=y kernels have the potential for all the CPUs to go to
sleep indefinitely, in turn indefinitely delaying completion of the
callback-free grace period. Given that nothing is waiting on this grace
period, this is also not a problem.
That is, unless RCU CPU stall warnings are also enabled, as they are
in recent kernels. In this case, if a CPU wakes up after at least one
minute of inactivity, an RCU CPU stall warning will result. The reason
that no one noticed until quite recently is that most systems have enough
OS noise that they will never remain absolutely idle for a full minute.
But there are some embedded systems with cut-down userspace configurations
that consistently get into this situation.
All this begs the question of exactly how a callback-free grace period
gets started in the first place. This can happen due to the fact that
CPUs do not necessarily agree on which grace period is in progress.
If a CPU still believes that the grace period that just completed is
still ongoing, it will believe that it has callbacks that need to wait for
another grace period, never mind the fact that the grace period that they
were waiting for just completed. This CPU can therefore erroneously
decide to start a new grace period. Note that this can happen in
TREE_RCU and TREE_PREEMPT_RCU even on a single-CPU system: Deadlock
considerations mean that the CPU that detected the end of the grace
period is not necessarily officially informed of this fact for some time.
Once this CPU notices that the earlier grace period completed, it will
invoke its callbacks. It then won't have any callbacks left. If no
other CPU has any callbacks, we now have a callback-free grace period.
This commit therefore makes CPUs check more carefully before starting a
new grace period. This new check relies on an array of tail pointers
into each CPU's list of callbacks. If the CPU is up to date on which
grace periods have completed, it checks to see if any callbacks follow
the RCU_DONE_TAIL segment, otherwise it checks to see if any callbacks
follow the RCU_WAIT_TAIL segment. The reason that this works is that
the RCU_WAIT_TAIL segment will be promoted to the RCU_DONE_TAIL segment
as soon as the CPU is officially notified that the old grace period
has ended.
This change is to cpu_needs_another_gp(), which is called in a number
of places. The only one that really matters is in rcu_start_gp(), where
the root rcu_node structure's ->lock is held, which prevents any
other CPU from starting or completing a grace period, so that the
comparison that determines whether the CPU is missing the completion
of a grace period is stable.

Tracepoints declare a static inline trace_*_rcuidle variant of the trace
function, to support safely generating trace events from the idle loop.
Module code never actually uses that variant of trace functions, because
modules don't run code that needs tracing with RCU idled. However, the
declaration of those otherwise unused functions causes the module to
reference rcu_idle_exit and rcu_idle_enter, which RCU does not export to
modules.
To avoid this, don't generate trace_*_rcuidle functions for tracepoints
declared in module code.

Commit 644595f89620 ("compat: Handle COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME in
net/socket.c") introduced a bug where the helper functions to take
either a 64-bit or compat time[spec|val] got the arguments in the wrong
order, passing the kernel stack pointer off as a user pointer (and vice
versa).
Because of the user address range check, that in turn then causes an
EFAULT due to the user pointer range checking failing for the kernel
address. Incorrectly resuling in a failed system call for 32-bit
processes with a 64-bit kernel.
On odder architectures like HP-PA (with separate user/kernel address
spaces), it can be used read kernel memory.

When running 32-bit pvops-dom0 and a driver tries to allocate a coherent
DMA-memory the xen swiotlb-implementation returned memory beyond 4GB.
The underlaying reason is that if the supplied driver passes in a
DMA_BIT_MASK(64) ( hwdev->coherent_dma_mask is set to 0xffffffffffffffff)
our dma_mask will be u64 set to 0xffffffffffffffff even if we set it to
DMA_BIT_MASK(32) previously. Meaning we do not reset the upper bits.
By using the dma_alloc_coherent_mask function - it does the proper casting
and we get 0xfffffffff.
This caused not working sound on a system with 4 GB and a 64-bit
compatible sound-card with sets the DMA-mask to 64bit.
On bare-metal and the forward-ported xen-dom0 patches from OpenSuse a coherent
DMA-memory is always allocated inside the 32-bit address-range by calling
dma_alloc_coherent_mask.
This patch adds the same functionality to xen swiotlb and is a rebase of the
original patch from Ronny Hegewald which never got upstream b/c the
underlaying reason was not understood until now.

flush_tlb_others(), the Xen code was made to check its 'start'
parameter. That may give a incorrect op.cmd to MMUEXT_INVLPG_MULTI
instead of MMUEXT_TLB_FLUSH_MULTI. Then it causes some page can not
be flushed from TLB.
This patch fixed this issue.

We would traverse the full P2M top directory (from 0->MAX_DOMAIN_PAGES
inclusive) when trying to figure out whether we can re-use some of the
P2M middle leafs.
Which meant that if the kernel was compiled with MAX_DOMAIN_PAGES=512
we would try to use the 512th entry. Fortunately for us the p2m_top_index
has a check for this:
BUG_ON(pfn >= MAX_P2M_PFN);
which we hit and saw this:

patch_instruction() can be called very early on ppc32, when the kernel
isn't yet running at it's linked address. That can cause the !
is_kernel_addr() test in __put_user() to trip and call might_sleep()
which is very bad at that point during boot.
Use a lower level function instead for now, at least until we get to
rework ppc32 boot process to do the code patching later, like ppc64
does.

We have been observing hangs, both of KVM guest vcpu tasks and more
generally, where a process that is woken doesn't properly wake up and
continue to run, but instead sticks in TASK_WAKING state. This
happens because the update of rq->wake_list in ttwu_queue_remote()
is not ordered with the update of ipi_message in
smp_muxed_ipi_message_pass(), and the reading of rq->wake_list in
scheduler_ipi() is not ordered with the reading of ipi_message in
smp_ipi_demux(). Thus it is possible for the IPI receiver not to see
the updated rq->wake_list and therefore conclude that there is nothing
for it to do.
In order to make sure that anything done before smp_send_reschedule()
is ordered before anything done in the resulting call to scheduler_ipi(),
this adds barriers in smp_muxed_message_pass() and smp_ipi_demux().
The barrier in smp_muxed_message_pass() is a full barrier to ensure that
there is a full ordering between the smp_send_reschedule() caller and
scheduler_ipi(). In smp_ipi_demux(), we use xchg() rather than
xchg_local() because xchg() includes release and acquire barriers.
Using xchg() rather than xchg_local() makes sense given that
ipi_message is not just accessed locally.
This moves the barrier between setting the message and calling the
cause_ipi() function into the individual cause_ipi implementations.
Most of them -- those that used outb, out_8 or similar -- already had
a full barrier because out_8 etc. include a sync before the MMIO
store. This adds an explicit barrier in the two remaining cases.
These changes made no measurable difference to the speed of IPIs as
measured using a simple ping-pong latency test across two CPUs on
different cores of a POWER7 machine.
The analysis of the reason why processes were not waking up properly
is due to Milton Miller.

During a context switch we always restore the per thread DSCR value.
If we aren't doing explicit DSCR management
(ie thread.dscr_inherit == 0) and the default DSCR changed while
the process has been sleeping we end up with the wrong value.
Check thread.dscr_inherit and select the default DSCR or per thread
DSCR as required.
This was found with the following test case, when running with
more threads than CPUs (ie forcing context switching):
http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_default_test.c
With the four patches applied I can run a combination of all
test cases successfully at the same time:

If the default DSCR is non zero we set thread.dscr_inherit in
copy_thread() meaning the new thread and all its children will ignore
future updates to the default DSCR. This is not intended and is
a change in behaviour that a number of our users have hit.
We just need to inherit thread.dscr and thread.dscr_inherit from
the parent which ends up being much simpler.

When we update the DSCR either via emulation of mtspr(DSCR) or via
a change to dscr_default in sysfs we don't update thread.dscr.
We will eventually update it at context switch time but there is
a period where thread.dscr is incorrect.
If we fork at this point we will copy the old value of thread.dscr
into the child. To avoid this, always keep thread.dscr in sync with
reality.

Writing to dscr_default in sysfs doesn't actually change the DSCR -
we rely on a context switch on each CPU to do the work. There is no
guarantee we will get a context switch in a reasonable amount of time
so fire off an IPI to force an immediate change.

The CPU hotplug code for the powernv platform currently only puts
offline CPUs into nap mode if the powersave_nap variable is set.
However, HV-style KVM on this platform requires secondary CPU threads
to be offline and in nap mode. Since we know nap mode works just
fine on all POWER7 machines, and the only machines that support the
powernv platform are POWER7 machines, this changes the code to
always put offline CPUs into nap mode, regardless of powersave_nap.
Powersave_nap still controls whether or not CPUs go into nap mode
when idle, as before.

At the moment the handler for hypervisor decrementer interrupts is
the same as for decrementer interrupts, i.e. timer_interrupt().
This is bogus; if we ever do get a hypervisor decrementer interrupt
it won't have anything to do with the next timer event. In fact
the only time we get hypervisor decrementer interrupts is when one
is left pending on exit from a KVM guest.
When we get a hypervisor decrementer interrupt we don't need to do
anything special to clear it, since they are edge-triggered on the
transition of HDEC from 0 to -1. Thus this adds an empty handler
function for them. We don't need to have them masked when interrupts
are soft-disabled, so we use STD_EXCEPTION_HV instead of
MASKABLE_EXCEPTION_HV.

This turned out to be due to memory corruption caused by long-broken
PIO code in drivers/mmc/host/omap.c. (Previously, this driver had
been using DMA; but the above commit caused the MMC driver to fall
back to PIO mode with an unmodified Kconfig.)
The PIO code, added with the rest of the driver in commit
730c9b7e6630f786fcec026fb11d2e6f2c90fdcb ("[MMC] Add OMAP MMC host
driver"), confused bytes with 16-bit words. This bug caused memory
located after the PIO transfer buffer to be corrupted with transfers
larger than 32 bytes. The driver also did not increment the buffer
pointer after the transfer occurred. This bug resulted in data
corruption during any transfer larger than 64 bytes.

For several MoviNAND eMMC parts, there are known issues with secure
erase and secure trim. For these specific MoviNAND devices, we skip
these operations.
Specifically, there is a bug in the eMMC firmware that causes
unrecoverable corruption when the MMC is erased with MMC_CAP_ERASE
enabled.

The documentation for the dw_mmc part says that the low power
mode should normally only be set for MMC and SD memory and should
be turned off for SDIO cards that need interrupts detected.
The best place I could find to do this is when the SDIO interrupt
was first enabled. I rely on the fact that dw_mci_setup_bus()
will be called when it's time to reenable.

Data transfer will be continued until all the bytes are transmitted,
even if data crc error occurs during a multiple-block data transfer.
This means RXDR/TXDR interrupts will occurs until data transfer is
terminated. Early setting of host->sg to NULL prevents going into
xxx_data_pio functions, hence permanent unhandled RXDR/TXDR interrupts
occurs. And checking error interrupt status in the xxx_data_pio functions
is no need because dw_mci_interrupt does do the same. This patch also
removes it.

RINTSTS status includes masked interrupts as well as unmasked.
data_status and cmd_status are set by value of RINTSTS in interrupt handler
and tasklet finally uses it to decide whether error is happened or not.
In addition, MINTSTS status is used for setting data_status in PIO.
Masked error interrupt will not be handled and that status can be considered
non-error case.

Even if the datasheet says that the not busy flag has to be used only
for write operations, it's false except for version lesser than v2xx.
Not waiting on the not busy flag for read operations can cause the
controller to hang-up during the initialization of some SD cards
with DMA after the first CMD6 -- the next command is sent too early.
