Pull voluntary preemption fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree contains a speedup which is achieved through better
might_sleep()/might_fault() preemption point annotations for uaccess
functions, by Michael S Tsirkin:
1. The only reason uaccess routines might sleep is if they fault.
Make this explicit for all architectures.
2. A voluntary preemption point in uaccess functions means compiler
can't inline them efficiently, this breaks assumptions that they
are very fast and small that e.g. net code seems to make. Remove
this preemption point so behaviour matches with what callers
assume.
3. Accesses (e.g through socket ops) to kernel memory with KERNEL_DS
like net/sunrpc does will never sleep. Remove an unconditinal
might_sleep() in the might_fault() inline in kernel.h (used when
PROVE_LOCKING is not set).
4. Accesses with pagefault_disable() return EFAULT but won't cause
caller to sleep. Check for that and thus avoid might_sleep() when
PROVE_LOCKING is set.
These changes offer a nice speedup for CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y
kernels, here's a network bandwidth measurement between a virtual
machine and the host:
before:
incoming: 7122.77 Mb/s
outgoing: 8480.37 Mb/s

Pull WW mutex support from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds support for wound/wait style locks, which the graphics
guys would like to make use of in the TTM graphics subsystem.
Wound/wait mutexes are used when other multiple lock acquisitions of a
similar type can be done in an arbitrary order. The deadlock handling
used here is called wait/wound in the RDBMS literature: The older
tasks waits until it can acquire the contended lock. The younger
tasks needs to back off and drop all the locks it is currently
holding, ie the younger task is wounded.
See this LWN.net description of W/W mutexes:
https://lwn.net/Articles/548909/
The comments there outline specific usecases for this facility (which
have already been implemented for the DRM tree).

Pull ARM SoC driver specific changes from Arnd Bergmann:
"These changes are all driver specific and cross over between arm-soc
contents and some other subsystem, in these cases cpufreq, crypto,
dma, pinctrl, mailbox and usb, and the subsystem owners agreed to have
these changes merged through arm-soc.
As we proceed to untangle the dependencies between platform code and
driver code, the amount of changes in this category is fortunately
shrinking, for 3.11 we have 16 branches here and 101 non-merge
changesets, the majority of which are for the stedma40 dma engine
driver used in the ux500 platform. Cleaning up that code touches
multiple subsystems, but gets rid of the dependency in the end.
The mailbox code moved out from mach-omap2 to drivers/mailbox is an
intermediate step and is still omap specific at the moment. Patches
exist to generalize the subsystem and add other drivers with the same
API, but those did not make it for 3.11."

Pull ARM SoC specific changes from Arnd Bergmann:
"These changes are all to SoC-specific code, a total of 33 branches on
17 platforms were pulled into this. Like last time, Renesas sh-mobile
is now the platform with the most changes, followed by OMAP and
EXYNOS.
Two new platforms, TI Keystone and Rockchips RK3xxx are added in this
branch, both containing almost no platform specific code at all, since
they are using generic subsystem interfaces for clocks, pinctrl,
interrupts etc. The device drivers are getting merged through the
respective subsystem maintainer trees.
One more SoC (u300) is now multiplatform capable and several others
(shmobile, exynos, msm, integrator, kirkwood, clps711x) are moving
towards that goal with this series but need more work.
Also noteworthy is the work on PCI here, which is traditionally part
of the SoC specific code. With the changes done by Thomas Petazzoni,
we can now more easily have PCI host controller drivers as loadable
modules and keep them separate from the platform code in
drivers/pci/host. This has already led to the discovery that three
platforms (exynos, spear and imx) are actually using an identical PCIe
host controller and will be able to share a driver once support for
spear and imx is added."

Pull ext4 update from Ted Ts'o:
"Lots of bug fixes, cleanups and optimizations. In the bug fixes
category, of note is a fix for on-line resizing file systems where the
block size is smaller than the page size (i.e., file systems 1k blocks
on x86, or more interestingly file systems with 4k blocks on Power or
ia64 systems.)
In the cleanup category, the ext4's punch hole implementation was
significantly improved by Lukas Czerner, and now supports bigalloc
file systems. In addition, Jan Kara significantly cleaned up the
write submission code path. We also improved error checking and added
a few sanity checks.
In the optimizations category, two major optimizations deserve
mention. The first is that ext4_writepages() is now used for
nodelalloc and ext3 compatibility mode. This allows writes to be
submitted much more efficiently as a single bio request, instead of
being sent as individual 4k writes into the block layer (which then
relied on the elevator code to coalesce the requests in the block
queue). Secondly, the extent cache shrink mechanism, which was
introduce in 3.9, no longer has a scalability bottleneck caused by the
i_es_lru spinlock. Other optimizations include some changes to reduce
CPU usage and to avoid issuing empty commits unnecessarily."

When sync does it's WB_SYNC_ALL writeback, it issues data Io and
then immediately waits for IO completion. This is done in the
context of the flusher thread, and hence completely ties up the
flusher thread for the backing device until all the dirty inodes
have been synced. On filesystems that are dirtying inodes constantly
and quickly, this means the flusher thread can be tied up for
minutes per sync call and hence badly affect system level write IO
performance as the page cache cannot be cleaned quickly.
We already have a wait loop for IO completion for sync(2), so cut
this out of the flusher thread and delegate it to wait_sb_inodes().
Hence we can do rapid IO submission, and then wait for it all to
complete.

And a single sync pass took:

user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.090s
After the patch, there is no impact on fsmark results, and each
individual sync(2) operation run concurrently with the same fsmark
workload takes roughly 7s:
real 0m6.930s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.039s
IOWs, sync is 7-8x faster on a busy filesystem and does not have an

If jbd2_journal_restart() fails the handle will have been disconnected
from the current transaction. In this situation, the handle must not
be used for for any jbd2 function other than jbd2_journal_stop().
Enforce this with by treating a handle which has a NULL transaction
pointer as an aborted handle, and issue a kernel warning if
jbd2_journal_extent(), jbd2_journal_get_write_access(),
jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata(), etc. is called with an invalid handle.
This commit also fixes a bug where jbd2_journal_stop() would trip over
a kernel jbd2 assertion check when trying to free an invalid handle.
Also move the responsibility of setting current->journal_info to
start_this_handle(), simplifying the three users of this function.

When the kernel (compiled with CONFIG_PREEMPT=n) is performing the
rename of a network interface, it can end up waiting for a workqueue
to complete. If userland is able to invoke a SIOCGIFNAME ioctl or a
SO_BINDTODEVICE getsockopt in between, the kernel will deadlock due to
the fact that read_secklock_begin() will spin forever waiting for the
writer process (the one doing the interface rename) to update the
devnet_rename_seq sequence.
This patch fixes the problem by adding a helper (netdev_get_name())
and using it in the code handling the SIOCGIFNAME ioctl and
SO_BINDTODEVICE setsockopt.
The netdev_get_name() helper uses raw_seqcount_begin() to avoid
spinning forever, waiting for devnet_rename_seq->sequence to become
even. cond_resched() is used in the contended case, before retrying
the access to give the writer process a chance to finish.
The use of raw_seqcount_begin() will incur some unneeded work in the
reader process in the contended case, but this is better than
deadlocking the system.

Injects EDEADLK conditions at pseudo-random interval, with
exponential backoff up to UINT_MAX (to ensure that every lock
operation still completes in a reasonable time).
This way we can test the wound slowpath even for ww mutex users
where contention is never expected, and the ww deadlock
avoidance algorithm is only needed for correctness against
malicious userspace. An example would be protecting kernel
modesetting properties, which thanks to single-threaded X isn't
really expected to contend, ever.
I've looked into using the CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION
infrastructure, but decided against it for two reasons:
- EDEADLK handling is mandatory for ww mutex users and should
never affect the outcome of a syscall. This is in contrast to -ENOMEM
injection. So fine configurability isn't required.
- The fault injection framework only allows to set a simple
probability for failure. Now the probability that a ww mutex acquire
stage with N locks will never complete (due to too many injected
EDEADLK backoffs) is zero. But the expected number of ww_mutex_lock
operations for the completely uncontended case would be O(exp(N)).
The per-acuiqire ctx exponential backoff solution choosen here only
results in O(log N) overhead due to injection and so O(log N * N)
lock operations. This way we can fail with high probability (and so
have good test coverage even for fancy backoff and lock acquisition
paths) without running into patalogical cases.
Note that EDEADLK will only ever be injected when we managed to
acquire the lock. This prevents any behaviour changes for users
which rely on the EALREADY semantics.

Add macros for single bit definitions of a specific type. These are
similar to the BIT() macro that already exists, but with a few
exceptions:
1. The namespace is such that they can be used in uapi definitions.
2. The type is set with the _AC() macro to allow it to be used in
assembly.
3. The type is explicitly specified to be UL or ULL.

The futex_keys of process shared futexes are generated from the page
offset, the mapping host and the mapping index of the futex user space
address. This should result in an unique identifier for each futex.
Though this is not true when futexes are located in different subpages
of an hugepage. The reason is, that the mapping index for all those
futexes evaluates to the index of the base page of the hugetlbfs
mapping. So a futex at offset 0 of the hugepage mapping and another
one at offset PAGE_SIZE of the same hugepage mapping have identical
futex_keys. This happens because the futex code blindly uses
page->index.
Steps to reproduce the bug:
1. Map a file from hugetlbfs. Initialize pthread_mutex1 at offset 0
and pthread_mutex2 at offset PAGE_SIZE of the hugetlbfs
mapping.
The mutexes must be initialized as PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED because
PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE mutexes are not affected by this issue as
their keys solely depend on the user space address.
2. Lock mutex1 and mutex2
3. Create thread1 and in the thread function lock mutex1, which
results in thread1 blocking on the locked mutex1.
4. Create thread2 and in the thread function lock mutex2, which
results in thread2 blocking on the locked mutex2.
5. Unlock mutex2. Despite the fact that mutex2 got unlocked, thread2
still blocks on mutex2 because the futex_key points to mutex1.
To solve this issue we need to take the normal page index of the page
which contains the futex into account, if the futex is in an hugetlbfs
mapping. In other words, we calculate the normal page mapping index of
the subpage in the hugetlbfs mapping.
Mappings which are not based on hugetlbfs are not affected and still
use page->index.
Thanks to Mel Gorman who provided a patch for adding proper evaluation
functions to the hugetlbfs code to avoid exposing hugetlbfs specific
details to the futex code.

"ci13xxx" is bad for at least the following reasons:
* people often mistype it
* it doesn't add any informational value to the names it's used in
* it needlessly attracts mail filters
This patch replaces it with "ci_hdrc", "ci_udc" or "ci_hw", depending
on the situation. Modules with ci13xxx prefix are also renamed accordingly
and aliases are added for compatibility. Otherwise, no functional changes.
