the groundwork for the PAMU IOMMU from Freescale (for a PPC platform)
and an extension to the IOMMU group interface. On the x86 side this
includes a workaround for VT-d to disable interrupt remapping on broken

fs: cifs: use kmemdup instead of kmalloc + memcpy
cifs: replaced kmalloc + memset with kzalloc
cifs: ignore the unc= and prefixpath= mount options
When checking if an autofs mount point is busy it isn't sufficient to
only check if it's a mount point.
For example, if the mount of an offset mountpoint in a tree is denied
for this host by its export and the dentry becomes a process working
directory the check incorrectly returns the mount as not in use at
expire.
This can happen since the default when mounting within a tree is
nostrict, which means ingnore mount fails on mounts within the tree and
continue. The nostrict option is meant to allow mounting in this case.

Pull 'full dynticks' support from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree from Frederic Weisbecker adds a new, (exciting! :-) core
kernel feature to the timer and scheduler subsystems: 'full dynticks',
or CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y.
This feature extends the nohz variable-size timer tick feature from
idle to busy CPUs (running at most one task) as well, potentially
reducing the number of timer interrupts significantly.
This feature got motivated by real-time folks and the -rt tree, but
the general utility and motivation of full-dynticks runs wider than
that:
- HPC workloads get faster: CPUs running a single task should be able
to utilize a maximum amount of CPU power. A periodic timer tick at
HZ=1000 can cause a constant overhead of up to 1.0%. This feature
removes that overhead - and speeds up the system by 0.5%-1.0% on
typical distro configs even on modern systems.
- Real-time workload latency reduction: CPUs running critical tasks
should experience as little jitter as possible. The last remaining
source of kernel-related jitter was the periodic timer tick.
- A single task executing on a CPU is a pretty common situation,
especially with an increasing number of cores/CPUs, so this feature
helps desktop and mobile workloads as well.
The cost of the feature is mainly related to increased timer
reprogramming overhead when a CPU switches its tick period, and thus
slightly longer to-idle and from-idle latency.
Configuration-wise a third mode of operation is added to the existing
two NOHZ kconfig modes:
- CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC: [formerly !CONFIG_NO_HZ], now explicitly named
as a config option. This is the traditional Linux periodic tick
design: there's a HZ tick going on all the time, regardless of
whether a CPU is idle or not.
- CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE: [formerly CONFIG_NO_HZ=y], this turns off the
periodic tick when a CPU enters idle mode.
- CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL: this new mode, in addition to turning off the
tick when a CPU is idle, also slows the tick down to 1 Hz (one
timer interrupt per second) when only a single task is running on a
CPU.
The .config behavior is compatible: existing !CONFIG_NO_HZ and
CONFIG_NO_HZ=y settings get translated to the new values, without the
user having to configure anything. CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is turned off by
default.
This feature is based on a lot of infrastructure work that has been
steadily going upstream in the last 2-3 cycles: related RCU support
and non-periodic cputime support in particular is upstream already.
This tree adds the final pieces and activates the feature. The pull
request is marked RFC because:
- it's marked 64-bit only at the moment - the 32-bit support patch is
small but did not get ready in time.
- it has a number of fresh commits that came in after the merge
window. The overwhelming majority of commits are from before the
merge window, but still some aspects of the tree are fresh and so I
marked it RFC.
- it's a pretty wide-reaching feature with lots of effects - and
while the components have been in testing for some time, the full
combination is still not very widely used. That it's default-off
should reduce its regression abilities and obviously there are no
known regressions with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y enabled either.
- the feature is not completely idempotent: there is no 100%
equivalent replacement for a periodic scheduler/timer tick. In
particular there's ongoing work to map out and reduce its effects
on scheduler load-balancing and statistics. This should not impact
correctness though, there are no known regressions related to this
feature at this point.
- it's a pretty ambitious feature that with time will likely be
enabled by most Linux distros, and we'd like you to make input on
its design/implementation, if you dislike some aspect we missed.
Without flaming us to crisp! :-)
Future plans:
- there's ongoing work to reduce 1Hz to 0Hz, to essentially shut off
the periodic tick altogether when there's a single busy task on a
CPU. We'd first like 1 Hz to be exposed more widely before we go
for the 0 Hz target though.
- once we reach 0 Hz we can remove the periodic tick assumption from
nr_running>=2 as well, by essentially interrupting busy tasks only
as frequently as the sched_latency constraints require us to do -
once every 4-40 msecs, depending on nr_running.
I am personally leaning towards biting the bullet and doing this in
v3.10, like the -rt tree this effort has been going on for too long -
but the final word is up to you as usual.

"A bunch of fixes for a moderately common class of bugs: file with

That leaks; fortunately, it's not _too_ common (either people manage
to RTFM that says "When using single_open(), the programmer should use
single_release() instead of seq_release() in the file_operations
structure to avoid a memory leak", or they just copy a correct
instance), but grepping through the tree has caught quite a pile.
All of that is, AFAICS, -stable fodder, for as far as the patches
apply. I tried to carve it up into reasonably-sized pieces (more or

Merge ipc fixes and cleanups from my IPC branch.
The ipc locking has always been pretty ugly, and the scalability fixes
to some degree made it even less readable. We had two cases of double
unlocks in error paths due to this (one rcu read unlock, one semaphore
unlock), and this fixes the bugs I found while trying to clean things up
a bit so that we are less likely to have more.
* ipc-cleanups:
ipc: simplify rcu_read_lock() in semctl_nolock()
ipc: simplify semtimedop/semctl_main() common error path handling
ipc: move sem_obtain_lock() rcu locking into the only caller
ipc: fix double sem unlock in semctl error path
ipc: move the rcu_read_lock() from sem_lock_and_putref() into callers
ipc: sem_putref() does not need the semaphore lock any more
ipc: move rcu_read_unlock() out of sem_unlock() and into callers
This API shouldn't have 32/64-bit issues, but VFS assumes it does
unless told otherwise.

Currently, the signing routines take a pointer to a place to store the
expected sequence number for the mid response. It then stores a value
that's one below what that sequence number should be, and then adds one
to it when verifying the signature on the response.
Increment the sequence number before storing the value in the mid, and
eliminate the "+1" when checking the signature.

It's not obvious from reading the macro names that these macros
are for debugging. Convert the names to a single more typical
kernel style cifs_dbg macro.
cERROR(1, ...) -> cifs_dbg(VFS, ...)
cFYI(1, ...) -> cifs_dbg(FYI, ...)
cFYI(DBG2, ...) -> cifs_dbg(NOISY, ...)
Move the terminating format newline from the macro to the call site.
Add CONFIG_CIFS_DEBUG function cifs_vfs_err to emit the
"CIFS VFS: " prefix for VFS messages.
Size is reduced ~ 1% when CONFIG_CIFS_DEBUG is set (default y)
$ size fs/cifs/cifs.ko*
text data bss dec hex filename
265245 2525 132 267902 4167e fs/cifs/cifs.ko.new

Other miscellaneous changes around these conversions:
o Miscellaneous typo fixes
o Add terminating \n's to almost all formats and remove them
from the macros to be more kernel style like. A few formats
previously had defective \n's
o Remove unnecessary OOM messages as kmalloc() calls dump_stack
o Coalesce formats to make grep easier,
added missing spaces when coalescing formats
o Use %s, __func__ instead of embedded function name
o Removed unnecessary "cifs: " prefixes

This is needed because when scan_of_devices finds the GAISLER_GPTIMER
core that corresponds to the SMP "ticker" timer, the previously set
proper irq flow handler gets overwritten with an incorrect one. This
leads to very flaky timer interrupt handling on some hardware. Proper
updates to handlers can still be done using leon_update_virq_handling.

With various straight RCU lock/unlock movements, one common exit path
pattern had become
rcu_read_unlock();
goto out_wakeup;
and in fact there were no cases where we wanted to exit to out_wakeup
_without_ releasing the RCU read lock.
So replace that pattern with "goto out_rcu_wakeup", and remove the old
out_wakeup.
