drivers/char/hpet.c: allow user controlled mmap for user processes
The CONFIG_HPET_MMAP Kconfig option exposes the memory map of the HPET registers to userspace. The Kconfig help points out that in some cases this can be a security risk as some systems may erroneously configure the map such that additional data is exposed to userspace. This is a problem for distributions -- some users want the MMAP functionality but it comes with a significant security risk. In an effort to mitigate this risk, and due to the low number of users of the MMAP functionality, I've introduced a kernel parameter, hpet_mmap_enable, that is required in order to actually have the HPET MMAP exposed.

mem-hotplug: introduce movable_node boot option
The hot-Pluggable field in SRAT specifies which memory is hotpluggable. As we mentioned before, if hotpluggable memory is used by the kernel, it cannot be hot-removed. So memory hotplug users may want to set all hotpluggable memory in ZONE_MOVABLE so that the kernel won't use it. Memory hotplug users may also set a node as movable node, which has ZONE_MOVABLE only, so that the whole node can be hot-removed. But the kernel cannot use memory in ZONE_MOVABLE. By doing this, the kernel cannot use memory in movable nodes. This will cause NUMA performance down. And other users may be unhappy. So we need a way to allow users to enable and disable this functionality. In this patch, we introduce movable_node boot option to allow users to choose to not to consume hotpluggable memory at early boot time and later we can set it as ZONE_MOVABLE. To achieve this, the movable_node boot option will control the memblock allocation direction. That said, after memblock is ready, before SRAT is parsed, we should allocate memory near the kernel image as we explained in the previous patches. So if movable_node boot option is set, the kernel does the following: 1. After memblock is ready, make memblock allocate memory bottom up. 2. After SRAT is parsed, make memblock behave as default, allocate memory top down. Users can specify "movable_node" in kernel commandline to enable this functionality. For those who don't use memory hotplug or who don't want to lose their NUMA performance, just don't specify anything. The kernel will work as before.

intel_mid: Renamed *mrst* to *intel_mid*
mrst is used as common name to represent all intel_mid type soc's. But moorsetwon is just one of the intel_mid soc. So renamed them to use intel_mid. This patch mainly renames the variables and related functions that uses *mrst* prefix with *intel_mid*. To ensure that there are no functional changes, I have compared the objdump of related files before and after rename and found the only difference is symbol and name changes.

NFS client updates for Linux 3.12
Highlights include:
- Fix NFSv4 recovery so that it doesn't recover lost locks in cases such as
lease loss due to a network partition, where doing so may result in data
corruption. Add a kernel parameter to control choice of legacy behaviour
or not.
- Performance improvements when 2 processes are writing to the same file.
- Flush data to disk when an RPCSEC_GSS session timeout is imminent.
- Implement NFSv4.1 SP4_MACH_CRED state protection to prevent other
NFS clients from being able to manipulate our lease and file lockingr
state.
- Allow sharing of RPCSEC_GSS caches between different rpc clients
- Fix the broken NFSv4 security auto-negotiation between client and server
- Fix rmdir() to wait for outstanding sillyrename unlinks to complete
- Add a tracepoint framework for debugging NFSv4 state recovery issues.
- Add tracing to the generic NFS layer.
- Add tracing for the SUNRPC socket connection state.
- Clean up the rpc_pipefs mount/umount event management.
- Merge more patches from Chuck in preparation for NFSv4 migration support.

vt: make the default color configurable
The virtual console has (undocumented) module parameters to set the colors for italic and underlined text, but the default text color was hardcoded for some reason. This made it impossible to change the color for startup messages, or to set the default for new virtual consoles. Add a module parameter for that, and document the entire bunch. Any hacker who thinks that a command prompt on a "black screen with white font" is not supicious enough can now use the kernel parameter vt.color=10 to get a nice, evil green.

ACPI: Add facility to remove all _OSI strings
This patch changes the "acpi_osi=" boot parameter implementation so that: 1. "acpi_osi=!" can be used to disable all _OSI OS vendor strings by default. It is meaningless to specify "acpi_osi=!" multiple times as it can only affect the default state of the target _OSI strings. 2. "acpi_osi=!*" can be used to remove all _OSI OS vendor strings and all _OSI feature group strings. It is useful to specify "acpi_osi=!*" multiple times through kernel command line to override the current state of the target _OSI strings.

ACPI: Add facility to disable all _OSI OS vendor strings
This patch introduces "acpi_osi=!" command line to force Linux replying
"UNSUPPORTED" to all of the _OSI strings. This patch is based on an
ACPICA enhancement - the new API acpi_update_interfaces().
The _OSI object provides the platform with the ability to query OSPM
to determine the set of ACPI related interfaces, behaviors, or
features that the operating system supports. The argument passed to
the _OSI is a string like the followings:
1. Feature Group String, examples include
Module Device
Processor Device
3.0 _SCP Extensions
Processor Aggregator Device
...
2. OS Vendor String, examples include
Linux
FreeBSD
Windows
...
There are AML codes provided in the ACPI namespace written in the
following style to determine OSPM interfaces / features:
Method(OSCK)
{
if (CondRefOf(_OSI, Local0))
{
if (\_OSI("Windows"))
{
Return (One)
}
if (\_OSI("Windows 2006"))
{
Return (Ones)
}
Return (Zero)
}
Return (Zero)
}
There is a debugging facility implemented in Linux. Users can pass
"acpi_osi=" boot parameters to the kernel to tune the _OSI evaluation
result so that certain AML codes can be executed. Current
implementation includes:
1. 'acpi_osi=' - this makes CondRefOf(_OSI, Local0) TRUE
2. 'acpi_osi="Windows"' - this makes \_OSI("Windows") TRUE
3. 'acpi_osi="!Windows"' - this makes \_OSI("Windows") FALSE
The function to implement this feature is also used as a quirk mechanism
in the Linux ACPI subystem.
When _OSI is evaluatated by the AML codes, ACPICA replies "SUPPORTED"
to all Windows operating system vendor strings. This is because
Windows operating systems return "SUPPORTED" if the argument to the
_OSI method specifies an earlier version of Windows. Please refer to
the following MSDN document:
How to Identify the Windows Version in ACPI by Using _OSI
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hardware/gg463275.aspx
This adds difficulties when developers want to feed specific Windows
operating system vendor string to the BIOS codes for debugging
purpose, multiple acpi_osi="!xxx" have to be specified in the command
line to force Linux replying "UNSUPPORTED" to the Windows OS vendor
strings listed in the AML codes.

The majority of the changes here are cleanups for the large changes that
were added to 3.10, which includes several bug fixes that have been
marked for stable.
As for new features, there were a few, but nothing to write to LWN about.
These include:
New function trigger called "dump" and "cpudump" that will cause
ftrace to dump its buffer to the console when the function is called.
The difference between "dump" and "cpudump" is that "dump" will dump
the entire contents of the ftrace buffer, where as "cpudump" will only
dump the contents of the ftrace buffer for the CPU that called the function.
Another small enhancement is a new sysctl switch called "traceoff_on_warning"
which, when enabled, will disable tracing if any WARN_ON() is triggered.
This is useful if you want to debug what caused a warning and do not
want to risk losing your trace data by the ring buffer overwriting the
data before you can disable it. There's also a kernel command line
option that will make this enabled at boot up called the same thing.

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo: "Surprisingly, Lai and I didn't break too many things implementing custom pools and stuff last time around and there aren't any follow-up changes necessary at this point. The only change in this pull request is Viresh's patches to make some per-cpu workqueues to behave as unbound workqueues dependent on a boot param whose default can be configured via a config option. This leads to higher processing overhead / lower bandwidth as more work items are bounced across CPUs; however, it can lead to noticeable powersave in certain configurations - ~10% w/ idlish constant workload on a big.LITTLE configuration according to Viresh. This is because per-cpu workqueues interfere with how the scheduler perceives whether or not each CPU is idle by forcing pinned tasks on them, which makes the scheduler's power-aware scheduling decisions less effective. Its effectiveness is likely less pronounced on homogenous configurations and this type of optimization can probably be made automatic; however, the changes are pretty minimal and the affected workqueues are clearly marked, so it's an easy gain for some configurations for the time being with pretty unintrusive changes." * 'for-3.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: fbcon: queue work on power efficient wq block: queue work on power efficient wq PHYLIB: queue work on system_power_efficient_wq workqueue: Add system wide power_efficient workqueues workqueues: Introduce new flag WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT for power oriented workqueues |

tracing: Disable tracing on warning
Add a traceoff_on_warning option in both the kernel command line as well as a sysctl option. When set, any WARN*() function that is hit will cause the tracing_on variable to be cleared, which disables writing to the ring buffer. This is useful especially when tracing a bug with function tracing. When a warning is hit, the print caused by the warning can flood the trace with the functions that producing the output for the warning. This can make the resulting trace useless by either hiding where the bug happened, or worse, by overflowing the buffer and losing the trace of the bug totally.

libata: Add atapi_dmadir force flag
Some device require DMADIR to be enabled, but are not detected as such by atapi_id_dmadir. One such example is "Asus Serillel 2" SATA-host-to-PATA-device bridge: the bridge itself requires DMADIR, even if the bridged device does not. As atapi_dmadir module parameter can cause problems with some devices (as per Tejun Heo's memory), enabling it globally may not be possible depending on the hardware.

Workqueues can be performance or power-oriented. Currently, most workqueues are
bound to the CPU they were created on. This gives good performance (due to cache
effects) at the cost of potentially waking up otherwise idle cores (Idle from
scheduler's perspective. Which may or may not be physically idle) just to
process some work. To save power, we can allow the work to be rescheduled on a
core that is already awake.
Workqueues created with the WQ_UNBOUND flag will allow some power savings.
However, we don't change the default behaviour of the system. To enable
power-saving behaviour, a new config option CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT needs to
be turned on. This option can also be overridden by the
workqueue.power_efficient boot parameter.
tj: Updated config description and comments. Renamed
CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT to CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT_DEFAULT.

IOMMU Updates for Linux v3.10
The updates are mostly about the x86 IOMMUs this time. Exceptions are 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 chipsets. On the AMD-Vi side the most important new feature is a kernel command-line interface to override broken information in IVRS ACPI tables and get interrupt remapping working this way. Besides that there are small fixes all over the place. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAABAgAGBQJRh2vAAAoJECvwRC2XARrjbjkP/jzKzeffybUpQsIJF8rs/IEt hSwqpGLr6WR5FdneEH9fiBIp4pyMDXmuAb/2ZNgB+DgPN3xgqmWVo4WLk7pMo3BS /xIz/lu7hIX3AtKt807pL9+rPdhGYEJ43Vmr4bW9x0l1kuNXy6fmMLcN5FaPKjV4 p4hY4jOstEgtYQw4wi39/9b4FsYoipZizkOUSdtCzWwTv7jOHH7/Wra8iZyzL6Je 1VlF/efp0ytTcwLdHOfGwPCIlZrQRtQCM4SqdAUG9bOL3ARR9Yu/0iW1295nbLzo CQX5CfKePvo/fGxki1jcBi+UCyxYKPosB5kCxmh4MAxCg/VzzMsaME/A73tLJa6W Y29bbjwPoBPMq03HX8S9R5QWY8HpFujUUp+J4TXcKuTgYEV28WfLu1uaeKD716nM LoXUojov7Cj8ZQZnhyu5l+XNaephBZLfw/8bM6bAxhlKXwAjmLiS5Z+srPl1GJee 5GCV+L94JifHLZaREWh3JFsh9O3W7Wno2++c4JU32uCWJHXH7tMgs2P8n5AY9rnT Km1a9y6w2MF3Gg9j4y6u75m0XnFTNzYjeJMUtqVlwVhNHhgaXfuIWY63xOQCLJs1 ThTHOjoh0VqONGobR/ywn+0ouo9X07DnWpluyFd+zY3XK0UE0NOu9XMr4i6TWxOf mlzWoEKxtw36XGHB/FtQ =MVc/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'iommu-updates-v3.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joro/iommu Pull IOMMU updates from Joerg Roedel: "The updates are mostly about the x86 IOMMUs this time.

Merge branch 'timers-nohz-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
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.

Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of activities on workqueue side this time. The changes achieve
the followings.
- WQ_UNBOUND workqueues - the workqueues which are per-cpu - are
updated to be able to interface with multiple backend worker pools.
This involved a lot of churning but the end result seems actually
neater as unbound workqueues are now a lot closer to per-cpu ones.
- The ability to interface with multiple backend worker pools are
used to implement unbound workqueues with custom attributes.
Currently the supported attributes are the nice level and CPU
affinity. It may be expanded to include cgroup association in
future. The attributes can be specified either by calling
apply_workqueue_attrs() or through /sys/bus/workqueue/WQ_NAME/* if
the workqueue in question is exported through sysfs.
The backend worker pools are keyed by the actual attributes and
shared by any workqueues which share the same attributes. When
attributes of a workqueue are changed, the workqueue binds to the
worker pool with the specified attributes while leaving the work
items which are already executing in its previous worker pools
alone.
This allows converting custom worker pool implementations which
want worker attribute tuning to use workqueues. The writeback pool
is already converted in block tree and there are a couple others
are likely to follow including btrfs io workers.
- WQ_UNBOUND's ability to bind to multiple worker pools is also used
to make it NUMA-aware. Because there's no association between work
item issuer and the specific worker assigned to execute it, before
this change, using unbound workqueue led to unnecessary cross-node
bouncing and it couldn't be helped by autonuma as it requires tasks
to have implicit node affinity and workers are assigned randomly.
After these changes, an unbound workqueue now binds to multiple
NUMA-affine worker pools so that queued work items are executed in
the same node. This is turned on by default but can be disabled
system-wide or for individual workqueues.
Crypto was requesting NUMA affinity as encrypting data across
different nodes can contribute noticeable overhead and doing it
per-cpu was too limiting for certain cases and IO throughput could
be bottlenecked by one CPU being fully occupied while others have
idle cycles.
While the new features required a lot of changes including
restructuring locking, it didn't complicate the execution paths much.
The unbound workqueue handling is now closer to per-cpu ones and the
new features are implemented by simply associating a workqueue with
different sets of backend worker pools without changing queue,
execution or flush paths.
As such, even though the amount of change is very high, I feel
relatively safe in that it isn't likely to cause subtle issues with
basic correctness of work item execution and handling. If something
is wrong, it's likely to show up as being associated with worker pools
with the wrong attributes or OOPS while workqueue attributes are being
changed or during CPU hotplug.
While this creates more backend worker pools, it doesn't add too many
more workers unless, of course, there are many workqueues with unique
combinations of attributes. Assuming everything else is the same,
NUMA awareness costs an extra worker pool per NUMA node with online
CPUs.
There are also a couple things which are being routed outside the
workqueue tree.
- block tree pulled in workqueue for-3.10 so that writeback worker
pool can be converted to unbound workqueue with sysfs control
exposed. This simplifies the code, makes writeback workers
NUMA-aware and allows tuning nice level and CPU affinity via sysfs.
- The conversion to workqueue means that there's no 1:1 association
between a specific worker, which makes writeback folks unhappy as
they want to be able to tell which filesystem caused a problem from
backtrace on systems with many filesystems mounted. This is
resolved by allowing work items to set debug info string which is
printed when the task is dumped. As this change involves unifying
implementations of dump_stack() and friends in arch codes, it's
being routed through Andrew's -mm tree."

Along with the usual minor fixes and clean ups there are a few major changes with this pull request. 1) Multiple buffers for the ftrace facility This feature has been requested by many people over the last few years. I even heard that Google was about to implement it themselves. I finally had time and cleaned up the code such that you can now create multiple instances of the ftrace buffer and have different events go to different buffers. This way, a low frequency event will not be lost in the noise of a high frequency event. Note, currently only events can go to different buffers, the tracers (ie. function, function_graph and the latency tracers) still can only be written to the main buffer. 2) The function tracer triggers have now been extended. The function tracer had two triggers. One to enable tracing when a function is hit, and one to disable tracing. Now you can record a stack trace on a single (or many) function(s), take a snapshot of the buffer (copy it to the snapshot buffer), and you can enable or disable an event to be traced when a function is hit. 3) A perf clock has been added. A "perf" clock can be chosen to be used when tracing. This will cause ftrace to use the same clock as perf uses, and hopefully this will make it easier to interleave the perf and ftrace data for analysis. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAABAgAGBQJRfnTPAAoJEOdOSU1xswtMqYYH/1WIdrwXmxHflErnYkCIr3sU QtYae2K5A1HcgiqOvRJrdWMOt016iMx5CaQQyBFM1vvMiPY0sTWRmwNxDfZzz9LN 10jRvWEzZSLtzl+a9mkFWLEpr5nR/QODOxkWFCnRWscp46sp04LSTxGDYsOnPQZB sam/AQ1h4xA+DqDBChm9BDEUEPorGleTlN54LBaCGgSFGvrbF+eAg2s4vHNAQAvQ 8d5xjSE9zC7J+FqbVxvJTbKI3+EqKL6hMsJKsKfi0SI+FuxBaFMSltXck5zKyTI4 HpNJzXCmw+v90Tju7oMkPHh6RTbESPCHoGU+wqE52fM6m7oScVeuI/kfc6USwU4= =W1n+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-3.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "Along with the usual minor fixes and clean ups there are a few major changes with this pull request. 1) Multiple buffers for the ftrace facility This feature has been requested by many people over the last few years.

clk: add clk_ignore_unused option to keep boot clocks on
This is primarily useful when there's a driver that doesn't claim clocks properly, but the bootloader leaves them on. It's not expected to be used in normal cases, but for bringup and debug it's very useful to have the option to not gate unclaimed clocks that are still on.
