52bf84aa20 sched/numa, mm: Remove p->numa_migrate_deferred
Excessive migration of pages can hurt the performance of workloads
that span multiple NUMA nodes.  However, it turns out that the
p->numa_migrate_deferred knob is a really big hammer, which does
reduce migration rates, but does not actually help performance.

Now that the second stage of the automatic numa balancing code
has stabilized, it is time to replace the simplistic migration
deferral code with something smarter.

151e0c7de6 x86, apic, kexec: Add disable_cpu_apicid kernel parameter
Add disable_cpu_apicid kernel parameter. To use this kernel parameter,
specify an initial APIC ID of the corresponding CPU you want to
disable.

This is mostly used for the kdump 2nd kernel to disable BSP to wake up
multiple CPUs without causing system reset or hang due to sending INIT
from AP to BSP.

Kdump users first figure out initial APIC ID of the BSP, CPU0 in the
1st kernel, for example from /proc/cpuinfo and then set up this kernel
parameter for the 2nd kernel using the obtained APIC ID.

However, doing this procedure at each boot time manually is awkward,
which should be automatically done by user-land service scripts, for
example, kexec-tools on fedora/RHEL distributions.

This design is more flexible than disabling BSP in kernel boot time
automatically in that in kernel boot time we have no choice but
referring to ACPI/MP table to obtain initial APIC ID for BSP, meaning
that the method is not applicable to the systems without such BIOS
tables.

One assumption behind this design is that users get initial APIC ID of
the BSP in still healthy state and so BSP is uniquely kept in
CPU0. Thus, through the kernel parameter, only one initial APIC ID can
be specified.

In a comparison with disabled_cpu_apicid, we use read_apic_id(), not
boot_cpu_physical_apicid, because on some platforms, the variable is
modified to the apicid reported as BSP through MP table and this
function is executed with the temporarily modified
boot_cpu_physical_apicid. As a result, disabled_cpu_apicid kernel
parameter doesn't work well for apicids of APs.

Fixing the wrong handling of boot_cpu_physical_apicid requires some
reviews and tests beyond some platforms and it could take some
time. The fix here is a kind of workaround to focus on the main topic
of this patch.

  * Laurent Pinchart added the clk_prepare/clk_unprepare for sh_cmt.

  * Linus Walleij added a useful warning in clk_of when no clocks
    are found while the old behavior was to silently hang at boot time.

  * Maxime Ripard added the high speed timer drivers for the
    Allwinner SoCs (A10, A13, A20). He increased the rating, shared the
    irq across all available cpus and fixed the clockevent's irq
    initialization for the sun4i.

  * Michael Opdenacker removed the usage of the IRQF_DISABLED for the
    all the timers driver located in drivers/clocksource.

  * Stephen Boyd switched to sched_clock_register for the
    arm_global_timer, cadence_ttc, sun4i and orion timers.

The LOCK and UNLOCK barriers as described in our barrier document are
generally known as ACQUIRE and RELEASE barriers in other literature.

Since we plan to introduce the acquire and release nomenclature in
generic kernel primitives we should amend the document to avoid
confusion as to what an acquire/release means.

5039e316dd x86: Export x86 boot_params to sysfs
kexec-tools use boot_params for getting the 1st kernel hardware_subarch,
the kexec kernel EFI runtime support also needs to read the old efi_info
from boot_params. Currently it exists in debugfs which is not a good
place for such infomation. Per HPA, we should avoid "sploit debugfs".

In this patch /sys/kernel/boot_params are exported, also the setup_data is
exported as a subdirectory. kexec-tools is using debugfs for hardware_subarch
for a long time now so we're not removing it yet.

Structure is like below:

/sys/kernel/boot_params
|__ data                /* boot_params in binary*/
|__ setup_data
|   |__ 0               /* the first setup_data node */
|   |   |__ data        /* setup_data node 0 in binary*/
|   |   |__ type        /* setup_data type of setup_data node 0, hex string */
[snip]
|__ version             /* boot protocal version (in hex, "0x" prefixed)*/

456a29ddad x86: Add xloadflags bit for EFI runtime support on kexec
Old kexec-tools can not load new kernels. The reason is kexec-tools does
not fill efi_info in x86 setup header previously, thus EFI failed to
initialize.  In new kexec-tools it will by default to fill efi_info and
pass other EFI required infomation to 2nd kernel so kexec kernel EFI
initialization can succeed finally.

To prevent from breaking userspace, add a new xloadflags bit so
kexec-tools can check the flag and switch to old logic.

Pull libata fixes from Tejun Heo:
 "There's one interseting commit - "libata, freezer: avoid block device
  removal while system is frozen".  It's an ugly hack working around a
  deadlock condition between driver core resume and block layer device
  removal paths through freezer which was made more reproducible by
  writeback being converted to workqueue some releases ago.  The bug has
  nothing to do with libata but it's just an workaround which is easy to
  backport.  After discussion, Rafael and I seem to agree that we don't
  really need kernel freezables - both kthread and workqueue.  There are
  few specific workqueues which constitute PM operations and require
  freezing, which will be converted to use workqueue_set_max_active()
  instead.  All other kernel freezer uses are planned to be removed,
  followed by the removal of kthread and workqueue freezer support,
  hopefully.

  Others are device-specific fixes.  The most notable is the addition of
  NO_NCQ_TRIM which is used to disable queued TRIM commands to Micro
  M500 SSDs which otherwise suffers data corruption"

Luck, Tony
3482fb5e0c ACPI, APEI, EINJ: Changes to the ACPI/APEI/EINJ debugfs interface
When I added support for ACPI5 I made the assumption that
injected processor errors would just need to know the APICID,
memory errors just the address and mask, and PCIe errors just the
segment/bus/device/function. So I had the code check the type of injection
and multiplex the "param1" value appropriately.

This was not a good assumption :-(

There are injection scenarios where we need to specify more than one of
these items. E.g. injecting a cache error we need to specify an APICID
of the cpu that owns the cache, and also an address (so that we can trip
the error by accessing the address).

Add a "flags" file to give the user direct access to specify which items
are valid in the ACPI SET_ERROR_TYPE_WITH_ADDRESS structure. Also add
new files param3 and param4 to hold all these values.

For backwards compatability with old injection scripts we maintain the
old behaviour if flags remains set at zero (or is reset to 0).

b8bd6dc361 libata: disable a disk via libata.force params
A user on StackExchange had a failing SSD that's soldered directly
onto the motherboard of his system. The BIOS does not give any option
to disable it at all, so he can't just hide it from the OS via the
BIOS.

The old IDE layer had hdX=noprobe override for situations like this,
but that was never ported to the libata layer.

This patch implements a disable flag for libata.force.

Example use:

 libata.force=2.0:disable

[v2 of the patch, removed the nodisable flag per Tejun Heo]

Merge tag 'ras_for_3.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bp/bp into x86/ras

Pull RAS updates from Borislav Petkov:

  * Add the functionality to override error reporting agents as some
  machines are sporting a new extended error logging capability which, if
  done properly in the BIOS, makes a corresponding EDAC module redundant,
  from Gong Chen.

  * PCIe AER tracepoint severity levels fix, from Rui Wang.

  * Error path correction for the mce device init, from Levente Kurusa.

17eb88e068 Documentation/memory-barriers.txt: Downgrade UNLOCK+BLOCK
Historically, an UNLOCK+LOCK pair executed by one CPU, by one
task, or on a given lock variable has implied a full memory
barrier.  In a recent LKML thread, the wisdom of this historical
approach was called into question:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg65653.html, in part due
to the memory-order complexities of low-handoff-overhead queued
locks on x86 systems.

This patch therefore removes this guarantee from the
documentation, and further documents how to restore it via a new
smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() primitive.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Revert CHECKSUM_COMPLETE optimization in pskb_trim_rcsum(), I can't
    figure out why it breaks things.

 2) Fix comparison in netfilter ipset's hash_netnet4_data_equal(), it
    was basically doing "x == x", from Dave Jones.

 3) Freescale FEC driver was DMA mapping the wrong number of bytes, from
    Sebastian Siewior.

 4) Blackhole and prohibit routes in ipv6 were not doing the right thing
    because their ->input and ->output methods were not being assigned
    correctly.  Now they behave properly like their ipv4 counterparts.
    From Kamala R.

 5) Several drivers advertise the NETIF_F_FRAGLIST capability, but
    really do not support this feature and will send garbage packets if
    fed fraglist SKBs.  From Eric Dumazet.

 6) Fix long standing user triggerable BUG_ON over loopback in RDS
    protocol stack, from Venkat Venkatsubra.

 7) Several not so common code paths can potentially try to invoke
    packet scheduler actions that might be NULL without checking.  Shore
    things up by either 1) defining a method as mandatory and erroring
    on registration if that method is NULL 2) defininig a method as
    optional and the registration function hooks up a default
    implementation when NULL is seen.  From Jamal Hadi Salim.

 8) Fix fragment detection in xen-natback driver, from Paul Durrant.

 9) Kill dangling enter_memory_pressure method in cg_proto ops, from
    Eric W Biederman.

10) SKBs that traverse namespaces should have their local_df cleared,
    from Hannes Frederic Sowa.

11) IOCB file position is not being updated by macvtap_aio_read() and
    tun_chr_aio_read().  From Zhi Yong Wu.

12) Don't free virtio_net netdev before releasing all of the NAPI
    instances.  From Andrey Vagin.

13) Procfs entry leak in xt_hashlimit, from Sergey Popovich.

14) IPv6 routes that are no cached routes should not count against the
    garbage collection limits.  We had this almost right, but were
    missing handling addrconf generated routes properly.  From Hannes
    Frederic Sowa.

15) fib{4,6}_rule_suppress() have to consider potentially seeing NULL
    route info when they are called, from Stefan Tomanek.

16) TUN and MACVTAP have had truncated packet signalling for some time,
    fix from Jason Wang.

17) Fix use after frrr in __udp4_lib_rcv(), from Eric Dumazet.

18) xen-netback does not interpret the NAPI budget properly for TX work,

93e1585e2c A set of device-mapper fixes for 3.13.
A fix for possible memory corruption during DM table load, fix a
 possible leak of snapshot space in case of a crash, fix a possible
 deadlock due to a shared workqueue in the delay target, fix to
 initialize read-only module parameters that are used to export metrics
 for dm stats and dm bufio.
 
 Quite a few stable fixes were identified for both the thin-provisioning
 and caching targets as a result of increased regression testing using
 the device-mapper-test-suite (dmts).  The most notable of these are the
 reference counting fixes for the space map btree that is used by the
 dm-array interface -- without these the dm-cache metadata will leak,
 resulting in dm-cache devices running out of metadata blocks.  Also,
 some important fixes related to the thin-provisioning target's
 transition to read-only mode on error.
