We can't be holding the mmap_sem while calling flush_cache_user_range
because the flush can fault. If we fault on a user address, the
page fault handler will try to take mmap_sem again. Since both places
acquire the read lock, most of the time it succeeds. However, if another
thread tries to acquire the write lock on the mmap_sem (e.g. mmap) in
between the call to flush_cache_user_range and the fault, the down_read
in do_page_fault will deadlock.

scu_power_mode changes the power mode for the current CPU, which it
determines from smp_processor_id(). However, this assumes that the
physical CPU number is equal to Linux's logical CPU number and if this
is not true, we will power off the wrong CPU.
This patch uses cpu_logical_map to translate the logical CPU number
into a physical one in scu_power_mode.

When a CPU is hotplugged off, we migrate any IRQs currently affine to it
away and onto another online CPU by calling the irq_set_affinity
function of the relevant interrupt controller chip. This function
returns either IRQ_SET_MASK_OK or IRQ_SET_MASK_OK_NOCOPY, to indicate
whether irq_data.affinity was updated.
If we are forcefully migrating an interrupt (because the affinity mask
no longer identifies any online CPUs) then we should update the IRQ
affinity mask to reflect the new CPU set. Failure to do so can
potentially leave /proc/irq/n/smp_affinity identifying only offline
CPUs, which may confuse userspace IRQ balancing daemons.
This patch updates migrate_one_irq to copy the affinity mask when
the interrupt chip returns IRQ_SET_MASK_OK after forcefully changing the
affinity of an interrupt.

When performing a kexec on an SMP system, the secondary cores are stopped
by calling machine_shutdown(), which in turn issues IPIs to offline the
other CPUs. Unfortunately, this isn't enough to reboot the cores into
a new kernel (since they are just executing a cpu_relax loop somewhere
in memory) so we make use of platform_cpu_kill, part of the CPU hotplug
implementation, to place the cores somewhere safe. This function expects
to be called on the killing CPU for each core that it takes out.
This patch moves the platform_cpu_kill callback out of the IPI handler
and into smp_send_stop, therefore ensuring that it executes on the
killing CPU rather than on the victim, matching what the hotplug code
requires.

Some platforms mark their hw_pci structure as __initdata, which means
it will be discarded after init time. Storing pointers to __initdata

During booting of cpu1, there is a short window where cpu1
is online, but not active where cpu1 is occupied by waiting
to become active. If cpu0 then decides to schedule something
on cpu1 and wait for it to complete, before cpu0 has set
cpu1 active, we have a deadlock.
Typically it's this CPU frequency transition that happens at
this time, so let's just not wait for it to happen, it will
happen whenever the CPU eventually comes online instead.

We have lots of infrastructure in place to partition multi-core systems
such that we have a group of CPUs that are dedicated to specific task:
cgroups, scheduler and interrupt affinity, and cpuisol= boot parameter.
Still, kernel code will at times interrupt all CPUs in the system via IPIs
for various needs. These IPIs are useful and cannot be avoided
altogether, but in certain cases it is possible to interrupt only specific
CPUs that have useful work to do and not the entire system.
This patch set, inspired by discussions with Peter Zijlstra and Frederic
Weisbecker when testing the nohz task patch set, is a first stab at trying
to explore doing this by locating the places where such global IPI calls
are being made and turning the global IPI into an IPI for a specific group
of CPUs. The purpose of the patch set is to get feedback if this is the
right way to go for dealing with this issue and indeed, if the issue is
even worth dealing with at all. Based on the feedback from this patch set
I plan to offer further patches that address similar issue in other code
paths.
This patch creates an on_each_cpu_mask() and on_each_cpu_cond()
infrastructure API (the former derived from existing arch specific
versions in Tile and Arm) and uses them to turn several global IPI
invocation to per CPU group invocations.
Core kernel:
on_each_cpu_mask() calls a function on processors specified by cpumask,
which may or may not include the local processor.
You must not call this function with disabled interrupts or from a
hardware interrupt handler or from a bottom half handler.
arch/arm:
Note that the generic version is a little different then the Arm one:
1. It has the mask as first parameter
2. It calls the function on the calling CPU with interrupts disabled,
but this should be OK since the function is called on the other CPUs
with interrupts disabled anyway.
arch/tile:
The API is the same as the tile private one, but the generic version
also calls the function on the with interrupts disabled in UP case
This is OK since the function is called on the other CPUs
with interrupts disabled.

Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
"Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
dependencies.
I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
and made sure that they don't break.
The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().
This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.
The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of
low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()).
These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:
(1) asm/barrier.h
Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha.
(2) asm/switch_to.h
Move switch_to() and related stuff here.
(3) asm/exec.h
Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits
could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.
(4) asm/cmpxchg.h
Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().
(5) asm/bug.h
Move die() and related bits.
(6) asm/auxvec.h
Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.
Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."
Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

Pull ARM platform updates from Russell King:
"This covers platform stuff for platforms I have a direct interest in
(iow, I have the hardware). Essentially:
- as we no longer support any other Acorn platforms other than RiscPC
anymore, we can collect all that code into mach-rpc.
- convert Acorn expansion card stuff to use IRQ allocation functions,
and get rid of NO_IRQ from there.
- cleanups to the ebsa110 platform to move some private stuff out of
its header files.
- large amount of SA11x0 updates:
- conversion of private DMA implementation to DMA engine support
(this actually gives us greater flexibility in drivers over the old
API.)
- re-worked ucb1x00 updates - convert to genirq, remove sa11x0
dependencies, fix various minor issues
- move platform specific sa11x0 framebuffer data into platform files
in arch/arm instead of keeping this in the driver itself
- update sa11x0 IrDA driver for DMA engine, and allow it to use DMA
for SIR transmissions as well as FIR
- rework sa1111 support for genirq, and irq allocation
- fix sa1111 IRQ support so it works again
- use sparse IRQ support
After this, I have one more pull request remaining from my current
set, which I think is going to be the most problematical as it
generates 8 conflicts."
Fixed up the trivial conflict in arch/arm/mach-rpc/Makefile as per
Russell.

As described in e6fa16ab ("signal: sigprocmask() should do
retarget_shared_pending()") the modification of current->blocked is
incorrect as we need to check for shared signals we're about to block.
Also, use the new helper function introduced in commit 5e6292c0f2
("signal: add block_sigmask() for adding sigmask to current->blocked")
which centralises the code for updating current->blocked after
successfully delivering a signal and reduces the amount of duplicate code
across architectures. In the past some architectures got this code wrong,
so using this helper function should stop that from happening again.

- Uses the IS_ENABLED() macros instead of the #ifdefs for THUMB2

- Unifies the two separate functions in kprobes, providing one function
that uses stop_machine() internally, and one that can be called from
stop_machine() directly
- Patches the text on all CPUs only on processors requiring software

Before replacing an instruction, the ftrace code determines what the old
instruction should be and verifies that that's what's really there in
memory before replacing it. This is useful if for example a bug in
mcountrecord causes it to record wrong locations.
However, in cases where we replace call sites in entry-common.S, these
checks are not needed. For these, we currently just memcpy() the memory
content and then "verify" it -- this is quite useless and can be
removed.

The kexec machine crash code can be called in interrupt context via a
sysrq trigger made using the magic key combination. If the irq chip
dealing with the serial interrupt is using the fasteoi flow handler,
then we will never EOI the interrupt because the interrupt handler will
be fatal. In the case of a GIC, this results in the crash kernel not
receiving interrupts on that CPU interface.
This patch adds code (based on the PowerPC implementation) to EOI any
pending interrupts on the crash CPU before masking and disabling all
interrupts. Secondary cores are not a problem since they are placed into
a cpu_relax() loop via an IPI.

The motivation for this patchset was that I was looking at a way for a
qemu-kvm process, to exclude the guest memory from its core dump, which
can be quite large. There are already a number of filter flags in
/proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types'
of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this
case).
Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates
the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag. The flag is used internally by
the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages. However, it is simple
enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need
for this flag.
The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new
'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags:
'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'. The core dump filters
continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the
region.
The qemu code which implements this features is at:
http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch
In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this
patch.
I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for
security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are
dumped.
This patch:
The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to
indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section. However, we
can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against
the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from
arch_vma_name(). Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.

Pull PCI changes (including maintainer change) from Jesse Barnes:
"This pull has some good cleanups from Bjorn and Yinghai, as well as
some more code from Yinghai to better handle resource re-allocation
when enabled.
There's also a new initcall_debug feature from Arjan which will print
out quirk timing information to help identify slow quirks for fixing
or refinement (Yinghai sent in a few patches to do just that once the
new debug code landed).
Beyond that, I'm handing off PCI maintainership to Bjorn Helgaas.
He's been a core PCI and Linux contributor for some time now, and has
kindly volunteered to take over. I just don't feel I have the time
for PCI review and work that it deserves lately (I've taken on some
other projects), and haven't been as responsive lately as I'd like, so
I approached Bjorn asking if he'd like to manage things. He's going
to give it a try, and I'm confident he'll do at least as well as I
have in keeping the tree managed, patches flowing, and keeping things

Now the purpose of cpu_active is mostly with bringing down a cpu, where
we mark it !active to avoid the load-balancer from moving tasks to it
while we tear down the cpu. This is required because we only update the
sched_domain tree after we brought the cpu-down. And this is needed so
that some tasks can still run while we bring it down, we just don't want
new tasks to appear.
On cpu-up however the sched_domain tree doesn't yet include the new cpu,
so its invisible to the load-balancer, regardless of the active state.
So instead of setting the active state after we boot the new cpu (and
consequently having to wait for it before enabling interrupts) set the
cpu active before we set it online and avoid the whole mess.

When disabling a counter on an ARMv7 PMU, we should also clear the
overflow flag in case an overflow occurred whilst stopping the counter.

On ARM, the PMU does not stop counting after an overflow and therefore
IRQ latency affects the new counter value read by the kernel. This is
significant for non-sampling runs where it is possible for the new value
to overtake the previous one, causing the delta to be out by up to
max_period events.
Commit a737823d ("ARM: 6835/1: perf: ensure overflows aren't missed due
to IRQ latency") attempted to fix this problem by allowing interrupt
handlers to pass an overflow flag to the event update function, causing
the overflow calculation to assume that the counter passed through zero
when going from prev to new. Unfortunately, this doesn't work when
overflow occurs on the perf_task_tick path because we have the flag
cleared and end up computing a large negative delta.
This patch removes the overflow flag from armpmu_event_update and
instead limits the sample_period to half of the max_period for
non-sampling profiling runs.
