Heiko Carstens a53c8fab3f s390/comments: unify copyright messages and remove file names
Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most
cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless.

Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly
different statements and wanted to change them one after another
whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead
people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template
for new files.
So unify all of them in one go.

Heiko Carstens 0008204ffe s390/idle: fix sequence handling vs cpu hotplug
The s390 idle accounting code uses a sequence counter which gets used
when the per cpu idle statistics get updated and read.

One assumption on read access is that only when the sequence counter is
even and did not change while reading all values the result is valid.
On cpu hotplug however the per cpu data structure gets initialized via
a cpu hotplug notifier on CPU_ONLINE.
CPU_ONLINE however is too late, since the onlined cpu is already running
and might access the per cpu data. Worst case is that the data structure
gets initialized while an idle thread is updating its idle statistics.
This will result in an uneven sequence counter after an update.

As a result user space tools like top, which access /proc/stat in order
to get idle stats, will busy loop waiting for the sequence counter to
become even again, which will never happen until the queried cpu will
update its idle statistics again. And even then the sequence counter
will only have an even value for a couple of cpu cycles.

Fix this by moving the initialization of the per cpu idle statistics
to cpu_init(). I prefer that solution in favor of changing the
notifier to CPU_UP_PREPARE, which would be a different solution to
the problem.

Heiko Carstens fbe765680d s390/smp: make absolute lowcore / cpu restart parameter accesses more robust
Setting the cpu restart parameters is done in three different fashions:
- directly setting the four parameters individually
- copying the four parameters with memcpy (using 4 * sizeof(long))
- copying the four parameters using a private structure

In addition code in entry*.S relies on a certain order of the restart
members of struct _lowcore.

Make all of this more robust to future changes by adding a
mem_absolute_assign(dest, val) define, which assigns val to dest
using absolute addressing mode. Also the load multiple instructions
in entry*.S have been split into separate load instruction so the
order of the struct _lowcore members doesn't matter anymore.

In addition move the prototypes of memcpy_real/absolute from uaccess.h
to processor.h. These memcpy* variants are not related to uaccess at all.
string.h doesn't seem to match as well, so lets use processor.h.

Also replace the eight byte array in struct _lowcore which represents a
misaliged u64 with a u64. The compiler will always create code that
handles the misaligned u64 correctly.

Linus Torvalds 0640113be2 vfs: Fix /proc/<tid>/fdinfo/<fd> file handling
Cyrill Gorcunov reports that I broke the fdinfo files with commit
30a08bf2d3 ("proc: move fd symlink i_mode calculations into
tid_fd_revalidate()"), and he's quite right.

The tid_fd_revalidate() function is not just used for the <tid>/fd
symlinks, it's also used for the <tid>/fdinfo/<fd> files, and the
permission model for those are different.

So do the dynamic symlink permission handling just for symlinks, making
the fdinfo files once more appear as the proper regular files they are.

Of course, Al Viro argued (probably correctly) that we shouldn't do the
symlink permission games at all, and make the symlinks always just be
the normal 'lrwxrwxrwx'.  That would have avoided this issue too, but
since somebody noticed that the permissions had changed (which was the
reason for that original commit 30a08bf2d3 in the first place), people
do apparently use this feature.

[ Basically, you can use the symlink permission data as a cheap "fdinfo"
  replacement, since you see whether the file is open for reading and/or
  writing by just looking at st_mode of the symlink.  So the feature
  does make sense, even if the pain it has caused means we probably
  shouldn't have done it to begin with. ]

Hugh Dickins 752dc185da mm: fix warning in __set_page_dirty_nobuffers
New tmpfs use of !PageUptodate pages for fallocate() is triggering the
WARNING: at mm/page-writeback.c:1990 when __set_page_dirty_nobuffers()
is called from migrate_page_copy() for compaction.

It is anomalous that migration should use __set_page_dirty_nobuffers()
on an address_space that does not participate in dirty and writeback
accounting; and this has also been observed to insert surprising dirty
tags into a tmpfs radix_tree, despite tmpfs not using tags at all.

We should probably give migrate_page_copy() a better way to preserve the
tag and migrate accounting info, when mapping_cap_account_dirty().  But
that needs some more work: so in the interim, avoid the warning by using
a simple SetPageDirty on PageSwapBacked pages.

Linus Torvalds 2f9d3df8aa vfs: move inode stat information closer together
The comment above it says "Stat data, not accessed from path walking",
but in fact some of inode fields we use for the common stat data was way
down at the end of the inode, causing unnecessary cache misses for the
common stat operations.

The inode structure is pretty big, and this can change padding depending
on field width, but at least on the common 64-bit configurations this
doesn't change the size.  Some of our inode layout has historically been
to tro to avoid unnecessary padding fields, but cache locality is at
least as important for layout, if not more.

Noticed by looking at kernel profiles, and noticing that the "i_blkbits"
access stood out like a sore thumb.

Joe Thornber cc8394d86f dm thin: provide userspace access to pool metadata
This patch implements two new messages that can be sent to the thin
pool target allowing it to take a snapshot of the _metadata_.  This,
read-only snapshot can be accessed by userland, concurrently with the
live target.

Only one metadata snapshot can be held at a time.  The pool's status
line will give the block location for the current msnap.

Since version 0.1.5 of the userland thin provisioning tools, the
thin_dump program displays the msnap as follows:

    thin_dump -m <msnap root> <metadata dev>

Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools

Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things
that have traditionally been kernel side tasks:

     i) Incremental backups.

     By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have
     changed over time.  Combined with data snapshots we can ensure
     the data doesn't change while we back it up.

     A short proof of concept script can be found here:

     https://github.com/jthornber/thinp-test-suite/blob/master/incremental_backup_example.rb

     ii) Migration of thin devices from one pool to another.

     iii) Merging snapshots back into an external origin.

     iv) Asyncronous replication.

Mike Snitzer a24c25696b dm thin: use slab mempools
Use dedicated caches prefixed with a "dm_" name rather than relying on
kmalloc mempools backed by generic slab caches so the memory usage of
thin provisioning (and any leaks) can be accounted for independently.

Mikulas Patocka 35991652ba dm mpath: allow ioctls to trigger pg init
After the failure of a group of paths, any alternative paths that
need initialising do not become available until further I/O is sent to
the device.  Until this has happened, ioctls return -EAGAIN.

With this patch, new paths are made available in response to an ioctl
too.  The processing of the ioctl gets delayed until this has happened.

Instead of returning an error, we submit a work item to kmultipathd
(that will potentially activate the new path) and retry in ten
milliseconds.

Note that the patch doesn't retry an ioctl if the ioctl itself fails due
to a path failure.  Such retries should be handled intelligently by the
code that generated the ioctl in the first place, noting that some SCSI
commands should not be retried because they are not idempotent (XOR write
commands).  For commands that could be retried, there is a danger that
if the device rejected the SCSI command, the path could be errorneously
marked as failed, and the request would be retried on another path which
might fail too.  It can be determined if the failure happens on the
device or on the SCSI controller, but there is no guarantee that all
SCSI drivers set these flags correctly.

Mike Christie f220fd4efb dm mpath: delay retry of bypassed pg
If I/O needs retrying and only bypassed priority groups are available,
set the pg_init_delay_retry flag to wait before retrying.

If, for example, the reason for the bypass is that the controller is
getting reset or there is a firmware upgrade happening, retrying right
away would cause a flood of log messages and retries for what could be a
few seconds or even several minutes.

Move multipath structure's 'lock' and 'queue_size' members to eliminate
two 4-byte holes.  Also use a bit within a single unsigned int for each
existing flag (saves 8-bytes).  This allows future flags to be added
without each consuming an unsigned int.

Linus Torvalds 4fc3acf291 Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
Pull networking updates from David Miller:

 1) Make syn floods consume significantly less resources by

    a) Not pre-COW'ing routing metrics for SYN/ACKs
    b) Mirroring the device queue mapping of the SYN for the SYN/ACK
       reply.

    Both from Eric Dumazet.

 2) Fix calculation errors in Byte Queue Limiting, from Hiroaki SHIMODA.

 3) Validate the length requested when building a paged SKB for a
    socket, so we don't overrun the page vector accidently.  From Jason
    Wang.

 4) When netlabel is disabled, we abort all IP option processing when we
    see a CIPSO option.  This isn't the right thing to do, we should
    simply skip over it and continue processing the remaining options
    (if any).  Fix from Paul Moore.

 5) SRIOV fixes for the mellanox driver from Jack orgenstein and Marcel
    Apfelbaum.

 6) 8139cp enables the receiver before the ring address is properly
    programmed, which potentially lets the device crap over random
    memory.  Fix from Jason Wang.

 7) e1000/e1000e fixes for i217 RST handling, and an improper buffer
    address reference in jumbo RX frame processing from Bruce Allan and
    Sebastian Andrzej Siewior, respectively.

Pull straggler x86 fixes from Peter Anvin:
 "Three groups of patches:

  - EFI boot stub documentation and the ability to print error messages;
  - Removal for PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL for x32 (obsolete interface which
    should never have been ported, and the port is broken and
    potentially dangerous.)
  - ftrace stack corruption fixes.  I'm not super-happy about the
    technical implementation, but it is probably the least invasive in
    the short term.  In the future I would like a single method for
    nesting the debug stack, however."

Linus Torvalds f309532bf3 tty: Revert the tty locking series, it needs more work
This reverts the tty layer change to use per-tty locking, because it's
not correct yet, and fixing it will require some more deep surgery.

The main revert is d29f3ef39b ("tty_lock: Localise the lock"), but
there are several smaller commits that built upon it, they also get
reverted here. The list of reverted commits is:

  fde86d3108 - tty: add lockdep annotations
  8f6576ad47 - tty: fix ldisc lock inversion trace
  d3ca8b64b9 - pty: Fix lock inversion
  b1d679afd7 - tty: drop the pty lock during hangup
  abcefe5fc3 - tty/amiserial: Add missing argument for tty_unlock()
  fd11b42e35 - cris: fix missing tty arg in wait_event_interruptible_tty call
  d29f3ef39b - tty_lock: Localise the lock

The revert had a trivial conflict in the 68360serial.c staging driver
that got removed in the meantime.

Linus Torvalds 233e562eac Merge 'for-linus' branches from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/{vfs,signal}
Pull vfs fix and a fix from the signal changes for frv from Al Viro.

The __kernel_nlink_t for powerpc got scrogged because 64-bit powerpc
actually depended on the default "unsigned long", while 32-bit powerpc
had an explicit override to "unsigned short".  Al didn't notice, and
made both of them be the unsigned short.

The frv signal fix is fallout from simplifying the do_notify_resume()
code, and leaving an extra parenthesis.
