2015-07-06kbuild: Allow arch Makefiles to override {cpp,ld,c}flagsMichal Marek
Since commit a1c48bb1 (Makefile: Fix unrecognized cross-compiler command line options), the arch Makefile is included earlier by the main Makefile, preventing the arc architecture to set its -O3 compiler option. Since there might be more use cases for an arch Makefile to fine-tune the options, add support for ARCH_CPPFLAGS, ARCH_AFLAGS and ARCH_CFLAGS variables that are appended to the respective kbuild variables. The user still has the final say via the KCPPFLAGS, KAFLAGS and KCFLAGS variables.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger: "It's been a busy development cycle for target-core in a number of different areas. The fabric API usage for se_node_acl allocation is now within target-core code, dropping the external API callers for all fabric drivers tree-wide. There is a new conversion to RCU hlists for se_node_acl and se_portal_group LUN mappings, that turns fast-past LUN lookup into a completely lockless code-path. It also removes the original hard-coded limitation of 256 LUNs per fabric endpoint. The configfs attributes for backends can now be shared between core and driver code, allowing existing drivers to use common code while still allowing flexibility for new backend provided attributes. The highlights include: - Merge sbc_verify_dif_* into common code (sagi) - Remove iscsi-target support for obsolete IFMarker/OFMarker (Christophe Vu-Brugier) - Add bidi support in target/user backend (ilias + vangelis + agover) - Move se_node_acl allocation into target-core code (hch) - Add crc_t10dif_update common helper (akinobu + mkp) - Handle target-core odd SGL mapping for data transfer memory (akinobu) - Move transport ID handling into target-core (hch) - Move task tag into struct se_cmd + support 64-bit tags (bart) - Convert se_node_acl->device_list[] to RCU hlist (nab + hch + paulmck) - Convert se_portal_group->tpg_lun_list[] to RCU hlist (nab + hch + paulmck) - Simplify target backend driver registration (hch) - Consolidate + simplify target backend attribute implementations (hch + nab) - Subsume se_port + t10_alua_tg_pt_gp_member into se_lun (hch) - Drop lun_sep_lock for se_lun->lun_se_dev RCU usage (hch + nab) - Drop unnecessary core_tpg_register TFO parameter (nab) - Use 64-bit LUNs tree-wide (hannes) - Drop left-over TARGET_MAX_LUNS_PER_TRANSPORT limit (hannes)" * 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending: (76 commits) target: Bump core version to v5.0 target: remove target_core_configfs.h target: remove unused TARGET_CORE_CONFIG_ROOT define target: consolidate version defines target: implement WRITE_SAME with UNMAP bit using ->execute_unmap target: simplify UNMAP handling target: replace se_cmd->execute_rw with a protocol_data field target/user: Fix inconsistent kmap_atomic/kunmap_atomic target: Send UA when changing LUN inventory target: Send UA upon LUN RESET tmr completion target: Send UA on ALUA target port group change target: Convert se_lun->lun_deve_lock to normal spinlock target: use 'se_dev_entry' when allocating UAs target: Remove 'ua_nacl' pointer from se_ua structure target_core_alua: Correct UA handling when switching states xen-scsiback: Fix compile warning for 64-bit LUN target: Remove TARGET_MAX_LUNS_PER_TRANSPORT target: use 64-bit LUNs target: Drop duplicate + unused se_dev_check_wce target: Drop unnecessary core_tpg_register TFO parameter ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm Pull ACPICA updates from Rafael Wysocki: "Additional ACPICA material for v4.2-rc1 This will update the ACPICA code in the kernel to upstream revision 20150619 (a bug-fix release mostly including stable-candidate fixes) and restore an earlier ACPICA commit that had to be reverted due to a regression introduced by it (the regression is addressed by blacklisting the only known system affected by it to date). The only new feature added by this update is the support for overriding objects in the ACPI namespace and a new ACPI table that can be used for that called the Override System Definition Table (OSDT). That should allow us to "patch" the ACPI namespace built from incomplete or incorrect ACPI System Definition tables (DSDT, SSDT) during system startup without the need to provide replacements for all of those tables in the future.

2015-07-03ACPI / init: Make it possible to override _REVRafael J. Wysocki
The platform firmware on some systems expects Linux to return "5" as the supported ACPI revision which makes it expose system configuration information in a special way. For example, based on what ACPI exports as the supported revision, Dell XPS 13 (2015) configures its audio device to either work in HDA mode or in I2S mode, where the former is supposed to be used on Linux until the latter is fully supported (in the kernel as well as in user space). Since ACPI 6 mandates that _REV should return "2" if ACPI 2 or later is supported by the OS, a subsequent change will make that happen, so make it possible to override that on systems where "5" is expected to be returned for Linux to work correctly one them (such as the Dell machine mentioned above).

An input queue and a processing queue is split out from the monolithic fuse connection, each of those having their own spinlock. The end of the patchset adds the ability to clone a fuse connection. This means, that instead of having to read/write requests/answers on a single fuse device fd, the fuse daemon can have multiple distinct file descriptors open. Each of those can be used to receive requests and send answers, currently the only constraint is that a request must be answered on the same fd as it was read from. This can be extended further to allow binding a device clone to a specific CPU or NUMA node. Based on a patchset by Srinivas Eeda and Ashish Samant.

2015-07-01fs/file.c: don't acquire files->file_lock in fd_install()Eric Dumazet
Mateusz Guzik reported : Currently obtaining a new file descriptor results in locking fdtable twice - once in order to reserve a slot and second time to fill it. Holding the spinlock in __fd_install() is needed in case a resize is done, or to prevent a resize. Mateusz provided an RFC patch and a micro benchmark : http://people.redhat.com/~mguzik/pipebench.c A resize is an unlikely operation in a process lifetime, as table size is at least doubled at every resize. We can use RCU instead of the spinlock. __fd_install() must wait if a resize is in progress. The resize must block new __fd_install() callers from starting, and wait that ongoing install are finished (synchronize_sched()) resize should be attempted by a single thread to not waste resources. rcu_sched variant is used, as __fd_install() and expand_fdtable() run from process context.

After registering NVDIMMs the NFIT driver then registers "region" devices. A libnvdimm-region defines an access mode and the boundaries of persistent memory media. A region may span multiple NVDIMMs that are interleaved by the hardware memory controller. In turn, a libnvdimm-region can be carved into a "namespace" device and bound to the PMEM or BLK driver which will attach a Linux block device (disk) interface to the memory. PMEM: Initially merged in v4.1 this driver for contiguous spans of persistent memory address ranges is re-worked to drive PMEM-namespaces emitted by the libnvdimm-core. In this update the PMEM driver, on x86, gains the ability to assert that writes to persistent memory have been flushed all the way through the caches and buffers in the platform to persistent media. See memcpy_to_pmem() and wmb_pmem(). BLK: This new driver enables access to persistent memory media through "Block Data Windows" as defined by the NFIT. The primary difference of this driver to PMEM is that only a small window of persistent memory is mapped into system address space at any given point in time. Per-NVDIMM windows are reprogrammed at run time, per-I/O, to access different portions of the media. BLK-mode, by definition, does not support DAX. BTT: This is a library, optionally consumed by either PMEM or BLK, that converts a byte-accessible namespace into a disk with atomic sector update semantics (prevents sector tearing on crash or power loss). The sinister aspect of sector tearing is that most applications do not know they have a atomic sector dependency. At least today's disk's rarely ever tear sectors and if they do one almost certainly gets a CRC error on access. NVDIMMs will always tear and always silently. Until an application is audited to be robust in the presence of sector-tearing the usage of BTT is recommended.
