852d8cb1ff powerpc/cpuidle: Fixes for pseries_idle hotplug notifier
Currently the call to pseries_notify_cpuidle_add_cpu(), that takes
action on the cpuidle front when a cpu is added/removed
is being made from smp_xics_setup_cpu().
This caused lockdep issues as
reported https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/17/2

On addition of each cpu,
resources were cleared and re-allocated each time, all in critical
section as part of start_secondary() call were interrupts are disabled.
To resolve this issue, the pseries_notify_cpuidle_add_cpu() call is
is being replaced by a hotplug notifier which
would prevent cpuidle resources from being
released and allocated each time cpu is onlined in the critical code path.
It was fixed in https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/18/174.

Also it is essential to call cpuidle_enable/disable_device
between  cpuidle_pause_and_lock()  and
cpuidle_resume_and_unlock()  when used externally
to avoid race conditions. Add support for CPU_ONLINE_FROZEN
and CPU_DEAD_FROZEN as part of hotplug notify event for
pseries_idle  and unregister hotplug notifier
while exiting out. The above mentioned issues
are fixed as part of this patch.

8bf8385b9c powerpc: Fixup oddity in entry_32.S
When I "fixed" the CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS case on interrupt entry,
I screwed up a little bit with the test for user space vs. kernel.

The code is fine, there's just some dead code around it. I basically
removed the test and always create the added stack frame whether
coming from user or kernel since in any case we do need to save
a bunch of volatile registers or bad things would happen (we can
take page faults in the kernel for example).

d6b9a81b2a powerpc: IOMMU fault injection
Add the ability to inject IOMMU faults. We enable this per device
via a fail_iommu sysfs property, similar to fault injection on other
subsystems.

An example:

...
0003:01:00.1 Ethernet controller: Emulex Corporation OneConnect 10Gb NIC (be3) (rev 02)

To inject one error to this device:

echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0003:01:00.1/fail_iommu
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/fail_iommu/probability
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/fail_iommu/times

As feared, the first failure injected on the be3 results in an
unrecoverable error, taking down both functions of the card
permanently:

be2net 0003:01:00.1: Unrecoverable error in the card

5c093efa6f powerpc/perf: Always use pt_regs for userspace samples
At the moment we always use the SIAR if the PMU supports continuous
sampling. Unfortunately the SIAR and the PMU exception are not
synchronised for non marked events so we can end up with callchains
that dont make sense.

The following patch checks the HV and PR bits for samples coming from
userspace and always uses pt_regs for them. Userspace will never have
interrupts off so there is no real advantage to using the SIAR for
non marked events in userspace.

I had experimented with a patch that did a similar thing for kernel
samples but we lost a significant amount of information. I was
unable to profile any of our early exception code for example.

be2cf20a5a powerpc: More fixes for lazy IRQ vs. idle
Looks like we still have issues with pSeries and Cell idle code
vs. the lazy irq state. In fact, the reset fixes that went upstream
are exposing the problem more by causing BUG_ON() to trigger (which
this patch turns into a WARN_ON instead).

We need to be careful when using a variant of low power state that
has the side effect of turning interrupts back on, to properly set
all the SW & lazy state to look as if everything is enabled before
we enter the low power state with MSR:EE off as we will return with
MSR:EE on. If not, we have a discrepancy of state which can cause
things to go very wrong later on.

This patch moves the logic into a helper and uses it from the
pseries and cell idle code. The power4/970 idle code already got
things right (in assembly even !) so I'm not touching it. The power7
"bare metal" idle code is subtly different and correct. Remains PA6T
and some hypervisor based Cell platforms which have questionable
code in there, but they are mostly dead platforms so I'll fix them
when I manage to get final answers from the respective maintainers
about how the low power state actually works on them.

9c378abc5c virtio-balloon: fix add/get API use
Since ee7cd8981e 'virtio: expose added
descriptors immediately.', in virtio balloon virtqueue_get_buf might
now run concurrently with virtqueue_kick.  I audited both and this
seems safe in practice but this is not guaranteed by the API.
Additionally, a spurious interrupt might in theory make
virtqueue_get_buf run in parallel with virtqueue_add_buf, which is
racy.

While we might try to protect against spurious callbacks it's
easier to fix the driver: balloon seems to be the only one
(mis)using the API like this, so let's just fix balloon.

Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo:
 "The previous cgroup pull request contained a patch to fix a race
  condition during cgroup hierarchy umount.  Unfortunately, while the
  patch reduced the race window such that the test case I and Sasha were
  using didn't trigger it anymore, it wasn't complete - Shyju and Li
  could reliably trigger the race condition using a different test case.

  The problem wasn't the gap between dentry deletion and release which
  the previous patch tried to fix.  The window was between the last
  dput() of a root's child and the resulting dput() of the root.  For
  cgroup dentries, the deletion and release always happen synchronously.
  As this releases the s_active ref, the refcnt of the root dentry,
  which doesn't hold s_active, stays above zero without the
  corresponding s_active.  If umount was in progress, the last
  deactivate_super() proceeds to destory the superblock and triggers
  BUG() on the non-zero root dentry refcnt after shrinking.

  This issue surfaced because cgroup dentries are now allowed to linger
  after rmdir(2) since 3.5-rc1.  Before, rmdir synchronously drained the
  dentry refcnt and the s_active acquired by rmdir from vfs layer
  protected the whole thing.  After 3.5-rc1, cgroup may internally hold
  and put dentry refs after rmdir finishes and the delayed dput()
  doesn't have surrounding s_active ref exposing this issue.

  This pull request contains two patches - one reverting the previous
  incorrect fix and the other adding the surrounding s_active ref around
  the delayed dput().

  This is quite late in the release cycle but the change is on the safer

332a2e1244 vfs: make O_PATH file descriptors usable for 'fchdir()'
We already use them for openat() and friends, but fchdir() also wants to
be able to use O_PATH file descriptors.  This should make it comparable
to the O_SEARCH of Solaris.  In particular, O_PATH allows you to access
(not-quite-open) a directory you don't have read persmission to, only
execute permission.

Noticed during development of multithread support for ksh93.

5db9a4d99b cgroup: fix cgroup hierarchy umount race
48ddbe1946 "cgroup: make css->refcnt clearing on cgroup removal
optional" allowed a css to linger after the associated cgroup is
removed.  As a css holds a reference on the cgroup's dentry, it means
that cgroup dentries may linger for a while.

Destroying a superblock which has dentries with positive refcnts is a
critical bug and triggers BUG() in vfs code.  As each cgroup dentry
holds an s_active reference, any lingering cgroup has both its dentry
and the superblock pinned and thus preventing premature release of
superblock.

Unfortunately, after 48ddbe1946, there's a small window while
releasing a cgroup which is directly under the root of the hierarchy.
When a cgroup directory is released, vfs layer first deletes the
corresponding dentry and then invokes dput() on the parent, which may
recurse further, so when a cgroup directly below root cgroup is
released, the cgroup is first destroyed - which releases the s_active
it was holding - and then the dentry for the root cgroup is dput().

This creates a window where the root dentry's refcnt isn't zero but
superblock's s_active is.  If umount happens before or during this
window, vfs will see the root dentry with non-zero refcnt and trigger
BUG().

Before 48ddbe1946, this problem didn't exist because the last dentry
reference was guaranteed to be put synchronously from rmdir(2)
invocation which holds s_active around the whole process.

Fix it by holding an extra superblock->s_active reference across
dput() from css release, which is the dput() path added by 48ddbe1946
and the only one which doesn't hold an extra s_active ref across the
final cgroup dput().

7db5b3ca0e Revert "cgroup: superblock can't be released with active dentries"
This reverts commit fa980ca87d.  The
commit was an attempt to fix a race condition where a cgroup hierarchy
may be unmounted with positive dentry reference on root cgroup.  While
the commit made the race condition slightly more difficult to trigger,
the race was still there and could be reliably triggered using a
different test case.

Revert the incorrect fix.  The next commit will describe the race and
fix it correctly.
