Commit 06222e491e got the if wrong so that
it always evaluates as true.  This is semantically harmless, but makes
SEEK_CUR and SEEK_SET needlessly query the server.

Rewrite the if to explicitly enumerate the cases we DO need a valid i_size

13c07b0286 linux/log2.h: Fix rounddown_pow_of_two(1)
Exactly like roundup_pow_of_two(1), the rounddown version was buggy for
the case of a compile-time constant '1' argument.  Probably because it
originated from the same code, sharing history with the roundup version
from before the bugfix (for that one, see commit 1a06a52ee1: "Fix
roundup_pow_of_two(1)").

However, unlike the roundup version, the fix for rounddown is to just
remove the broken special case entirely.  It's simply not needed - the
generic code

    1UL << ilog2(n)

does the right thing for the constant '1' argment too.  The only reason
roundup needed that special case was because rounding up does so by
subtracting one from the argument (and then adding one to the result)
causing the obvious problems with "ilog2(0)".

But rounddown doesn't do any of that, since ilog2() naturally truncates
(ie "rounds down") to the right rounded down value.  And without the
ilog2(0) case, there's no reason for the special case that had the wrong
value.

tl;dr: rounddown_pow_of_two(1) should be 1, not 0.

with whether or not any of the callbacks that were ready to invoke

f220242af9 rcu: Make rcutorture test for hotpluggability before offlining CPUs
The rcutorture test now can automatically exercise CPU hotplug and
collect success statistics, which can be correlated with other rcutorture
activity.  This permits rcutorture to completely exercise RCU regardless
of what sort of userspace and filesystem layout is in use.  Unfortunately,
rcutorture is happy to attempt to offline CPUs that cannot be offlined,
for example, CPU 0 in both the x86 and ARM architectures.  Although this
allows rcutorture testing to proceed normally, it confounds attempts at
error analysis due to the resulting flood of spurious CPU-hotplug errors.

Therefore, this commit uses the new cpu_is_hotpluggable() function to
avoid attempting to offline CPUs that are not hotpluggable, which in
turn avoids spurious CPU-hotplug errors.

2987557f52 driver-core/cpu: Expose hotpluggability to the rest of the kernel
When architectures register CPUs, they indicate whether the CPU allows
hotplugging; notably, x86 and ARM don't allow hotplugging CPU 0.
Userspace can easily query the hotpluggability of a CPU via sysfs;
however, the kernel has no convenient way of accessing that property in
an architecture-independent way.  While the kernel can simply try it and
see, some code needs to distinguish between "hotplug failed" and
"hotplug has no hope of working on this CPU"; for example, rcutorture's
CPU hotplug tests want to avoid drowning out real hotplug failures with
expected failures.

Expose this property via a new cpu_is_hotpluggable function, so that the
rest of the kernel can access it in an architecture-independent way.

f23f7fa1c8 rcu: Adaptive dyntick-idle preparation
If there are other CPUs active at a given point in time, then there is a
limit to what a given CPU can do to advance the current RCU grace period.
Beyond this limit, attempting to force the RCU grace period forward will
do nothing but consume energy burning CPU cycles.

Therefore, this commit takes an adaptive approach to RCU_FAST_NO_HZ
preparations for idle.  It pushes the RCU core state machine for
two cycles unconditionally, and then it will push from zero to three
additional cycles, but only as long as the RCU core has work for this
CPU to do immediately.  The rcu_pending() function is used to check
whether the RCU core has such work.

dff1672d91 rcu: Keep invoking callbacks if CPU otherwise idle
The rcu_do_batch() function that invokes callbacks for TREE_RCU and
TREE_PREEMPT_RCU normally throttles callback invocation to avoid degrading
scheduling latency.  However, as long as the CPU would otherwise be idle,
there is no downside to continuing to invoke any callbacks that have passed
through their grace periods.  In fact, processing such callbacks in a
timely manner has the benefit of increasing the probability that the
CPU can enter the power-saving dyntick-idle mode.

Therefore, this commit allows callback invocation to continue beyond the
preset limit as long as the scheduler does not have some other task to
run and as long as context is that of the idle task or the relevant
RCU kthread.

7cb9249900 rcu: Permit dyntick-idle with callbacks pending
The current implementation of RCU_FAST_NO_HZ prevents CPUs from entering
dyntick-idle state if they have RCU callbacks pending.  Unfortunately,
this has the side-effect of often preventing them from entering this
state, especially if at least one other CPU is not in dyntick-idle state.
However, the resulting per-tick wakeup is wasteful in many cases: if the
CPU has already fully responded to the current RCU grace period, there
will be nothing for it to do until this grace period ends, which will
frequently take several jiffies.

This commit therefore permits a CPU that has done everything that the
current grace period has asked of it (rcu_pending() == 0) even if it
still as RCU callbacks pending.  However, such a CPU posts a timer to
wake it up several jiffies later (6 jiffies, based on experience with
grace-period lengths).  This wakeup is required to handle situations
that can result in all CPUs being in dyntick-idle mode, thus failing
to ever complete the current grace period.  If a CPU wakes up before
the timer goes off, then it cancels that timer, thus avoiding spurious
wakeups.

c92b131bdc rcu: Remove dynticks false positives and RCU failures
Assertions in rcu_init_percpu_data() unknowingly relied on outgoing
CPUs being turned off before reaching the idle loop.  Unfortunately,
when running under kvm/qemu on x86, CPUs really can get to idle before
begin shut off.  These CPUs are then born in dyntick-idle mode from an
RCU perspective, which results in splats in rcu_init_percpu_data() and
in RCU wrongly ignoring those CPUs despite them being active.  This in
turn can cause RCU to end grace periods prematurely, potentially freeing
up memory that the newly onlined CPUs were still using.  This is most
decidedly not what we need to see in an RCU implementation.

This commit therefore replaces the assertions in rcu_init_percpu_data()
with code that forces RCU's dyntick-idle view of newly onlined CPUs to
match reality.

f535a607c1 rcu: Eliminate RCU_FAST_NO_HZ grace-period hang
With the new implementation of RCU_FAST_NO_HZ, it was possible to hang
RCU grace periods as follows:

o	CPU 0 attempts to go idle, cycles several times through the
	rcu_prepare_for_idle() loop, then goes dyntick-idle when
	RCU needs nothing more from it, while still having at least
	on RCU callback pending.

o	CPU 1 goes idle with no callbacks.

Both CPUs can then stay in dyntick-idle mode indefinitely, preventing
the RCU grace period from ever completing, possibly hanging the system.

This commit therefore prevents CPUs that have RCU callbacks from entering
dyntick-idle mode.  This approach also eliminates the need for the
end-of-grace-period IPIs used previously.

84ad00cb61 rcu: Avoid needlessly IPIing CPUs at GP end
If a CPU enters dyntick-idle mode with callbacks pending, it will need
an IPI at the end of the grace period.  However, if it exits dyntick-idle
mode before the grace period ends, it will be needlessly IPIed at the
end of the grace period.

Therefore, this commit clears the per-CPU rcu_awake_at_gp_end flag
when a CPU determines that it does not need it.  This in turn requires
disabling interrupts across much of rcu_prepare_for_idle() in order to
avoid having nested interrupts clearing this state out from under us.

3084f2f80c rcu: Go dyntick-idle more quickly if CPU has serviced current grace period
The earlier version would attempt to push callbacks through five times
before going into dyntick-idle mode if callbacks remained, but the CPU
had done all that it needed to do for the current RCU grace periods.
This is wasteful:  In most cases, once the CPU has done all that it
needs to for the current RCU grace periods, it will make no further
progress on the callbacks no matter how many times it loops through
the RCU core processing and the idle-entry code.

This commit therefore goes to dyntick-idle mode whenever the current
CPU has done all it can for the current grace period.

CONFIG_PREEMPT=y: preemption can cause almost as much trouble as can SMP.

1268fbc746 nohz: Remove tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() / tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu()
Those two APIs were provided to optimize the calls of
tick_nohz_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_enter() into a single
irq disabled section. This way no interrupt happening in-between would
needlessly process any RCU job.

Now we are talking about an optimization for which benefits
have yet to be measured. Let's start simple and completely decouple
idle rcu and dyntick idle logics to simplify.

b58bdccaa8 rcu: Add rcutorture CPU-hotplug capability
Running CPU-hotplug operations concurrently with rcutorture has
historically been a good way to find bugs in both RCU and CPU hotplug.
This commit therefore adds an rcutorture module parameter called
"onoff_interval" that causes a randomly selected CPU-hotplug operation to
be executed at the specified interval, in seconds.  The default value of
"onoff_interval" is zero, which disables rcutorture-instigated CPU-hotplug
operations.

c4f3060843 sched: Add is_idle_task() to handle invalidated uses of idle_cpu()
Commit 908a3283 (Fix idle_cpu()) invalidated some uses of idle_cpu(),
which used to say whether or not the CPU was running the idle task,
but now instead says whether or not the CPU is running the idle task
in the absence of pending wakeups.  Although this new implementation
gives a better answer to the question "is this CPU idle?", it also
invalidates other uses that were made of idle_cpu().

This commit therefore introduces a new is_idle_task() API member
that determines whether or not the specified task is one of the
idle tasks, allowing open-coded "->pid == 0" sequences to be replaced
by something more meaningful.

bb3bf7052d rcu: Control rcutorture startup from kernel boot parameters
Currently, if rcutorture is built into the kernel, it must be manually
started or started from an init script.  This is inconvenient for
automated KVM testing, where it is good to be able to fully control
rcutorture execution from the kernel parameters.  This patch therefore
adds a module parameter named "rcutorture_runnable" that defaults
to zero ("don't start automatically"), but which can be set to one
to cause rcutorture to start up immediately during boot.

d5f546d834 rcu: Add rcutorture system-shutdown capability
Although it is easy to run rcutorture tests under KVM, there is currently
no nice way to run such a test for a fixed time period, collect all of
the rcutorture data, and then shut the system down cleanly.  This commit
therefore adds an rcutorture module parameter named "shutdown_secs" that
specified the run duration in seconds, after which rcutorture terminates
the test and powers the system down.  The default value for "shutdown_secs"
is zero, which disables shutdown.
