      Pull first batch of s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:
       "The most interesting change is that Martin converted s390 to generic
        hardirqs.  Which means that all current architectures have been
        converted and that CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS can be removed.  Martin
        prepared a patch for that already (see genirq branch), but the best
        time to merge that is probably at the end of the merge window / begin
        of -rc1.
      
        Another patch converts s390 to software referenced bits instead of
        relying on the reference bit in the storage key.  Therefore s390
        doesn't use storage keys anymore, except for kvm.
      
        Besides that we have improvements, cleanups and fixes in PCI, DASD and
        all over the place."

      ipc/msg.c: Fix lost wakeup in msgsnd(). · bebcb928
      Manfred Spraul authored
      The check if the queue is full and adding current to the wait queue of
      pending msgsnd() operations (ss_add()) must be atomic.
      
      Otherwise:
       - the thread that performs msgsnd() finds a full queue and decides to
         sleep.
       - the thread that performs msgrcv() first reads all messages from the
         queue and then sleeps, because the queue is empty.
       - the msgrcv() calls do not perform any wakeups, because the msgsnd()
         task has not yet called ss_add().
       - then the msgsnd()-thread first calls ss_add() and then sleeps.
      
      Net result: msgsnd() and msgrcv() both sleep forever.
      
      Observed with msgctl08 from ltp with a preemptible kernel.
      
      Fix: Call ipc_lock_object() before performing the check.
      
      The patch also moves security_msg_queue_msgsnd() under ipc_lock_object:
       - msgctl(IPC_SET) explicitely mentions that it tries to expunge any
         pending operations that are not allowed anymore with the new
         permissions.  If security_msg_queue_msgsnd() is called without locks,
         then there might be races.
       - it makes the patch much simpler.

         - A new regulator_get_optional() API call for regulators that can be
           absent in normal operation.  This currently does nothing but will
           be used to improve the stubbing code for unspecified regulators,
           helping avoid some of the issues we've seen with adding new
           regulator support.
         - Helpers for devices with multiple linear ranges of voltages in the
           same regulator.
         - Moved the helpers into a separate file since core.c is getting
           rather large.

      Merge branch 'lockref' (locked reference counts) · fc6d0b03
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Merge lockref infrastructure code by me and Waiman Long.
      
      I already merged some of the preparatory patches that didn't actually do
      any semantic changes earlier, but this merges the actual _reason_ for
      those preparatory patches.
      
      The "lockref" structure is a combination "spinlock and reference count"
      that allows optimized reference count accesses.  In particular, it
      guarantees that the reference count will be updated AS IF the spinlock
      was held, but using atomic accesses that cover both the reference count
      and the spinlock words, we can often do the update without actually
      having to take the lock.
      
      This allows us to avoid the nastiest cases of spinlock contention on
      large machines under heavy pathname lookup loads.  When updating the
      dentry reference counts on a large system, we'll still end up with the
      cache line bouncing around, but that's much less noticeable than
      actually having to spin waiting for the lock.
      
      * lockref:
        lockref: implement lockless reference count updates using cmpxchg()
        lockref: uninline lockref helper functions
        vfs: reimplement d_rcu_to_refcount() using lockref_get_or_lock()
        vfs: use lockref_get_not_zero() for optimistic lockless dget_parent()

      lockref: implement lockless reference count updates using cmpxchg() · bc08b449
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Instead of taking the spinlock, the lockless versions atomically check
      that the lock is not taken, and do the reference count update using a
      cmpxchg() loop.  This is semantically identical to doing the reference
      count update protected by the lock, but avoids the "wait for lock"
      contention that you get when accesses to the reference count are
      contended.
      
      Note that a "lockref" is absolutely _not_ equivalent to an atomic_t.
      Even when the lockref reference counts are updated atomically with
      cmpxchg, the fact that they also verify the state of the spinlock means
      that the lockless updates can never happen while somebody else holds the
      spinlock.
      
      So while "lockref_put_or_lock()" looks a lot like just another name for
      "atomic_dec_and_lock()", and both optimize to lockless updates, they are
      fundamentally different: the decrement done by atomic_dec_and_lock() is
      truly independent of any lock (as long as it doesn't decrement to zero),
      so a locked region can still see the count change.
      
      The lockref structure, in contrast, really is a *locked* reference
      count.  If you hold the spinlock, the reference count will be stable and
      you can modify the reference count without using atomics, because even
      the lockless updates will see and respect the state of the lock.
      
      In order to enable the cmpxchg lockless code, the architecture needs to
      do three things:
      
       (1) Make sure that the "arch_spinlock_t" and an "unsigned int" can fit
           in an aligned u64, and have a "cmpxchg()" implementation that works
           on such a u64 data type.
      
       (2) define a helper function to test for a spinlock being unlocked
           ("arch_spin_value_unlocked()")
      
       (3) select the "ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF" config variable in its
           Kconfig file.
      
      This enables it for x86-64 (but not 32-bit, we'd need to make sure
      cmpxchg() turns into the proper cmpxchg8b in order to enable it for
      32-bit mode).

      They aren't very good to inline, since they already call external

      vfs: reimplement d_rcu_to_refcount() using lockref_get_or_lock() · 15570086
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This moves __d_rcu_to_refcount() from <linux/dcache.h> into fs/namei.c
      and re-implements it using the lockref infrastructure instead.  It also
      adds a lot of comments about what is actually going on, because turning
      a dentry that was looked up using RCU into a long-lived reference
      counted entry is one of the more subtle parts of the rcu walk.
      
      We also used to be _particularly_ subtle in unlazy_walk() where we
      re-validate both the dentry and its parent using the same sequence
      count.  We used to do it by nesting the locks and then verifying the
      sequence count just once.
      
      That was silly, because nested locking is expensive, but the sequence
      count check is not.  So this just re-validates the dentry and the parent
      separately, avoiding the nested locking, and making the lockref lookup
      possible.

      vfs: use lockref_get_not_zero() for optimistic lockless dget_parent() · df3d0bbc
      Waiman Long authored
      A valid parent pointer is always going to have a non-zero reference
      count, but if we look up the parent optimistically without locking, we
      have to protect against the (very unlikely) race against renaming
      changing the parent from under us.
      
      We do that by using lockref_get_not_zero(), and then re-checking the
      parent pointer after getting a valid reference.
      
      [ This is a re-implementation of a chunk from the original patch by
        Waiman Long: "dcache: Enable lockless update of dentry's refcount".
        I've completely rewritten the patch-series and split it up, but I'm
        attributing this part to Waiman as it's close enough to his earlier
        patch  - Linus ]

      lockref: add 'lockref_get_or_lock() helper · b3abd802
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This behaves like "lockref_get_not_zero()", but instead of doing nothing
      if the count was zero, it returns with the lock held.
      
      This allows callers to revalidate the lockref-protected data structure
      if required even if the count was zero to begin with, and possibly
      increment the count if it passes muster.
      
      In particular, the dentry code wants this when it wants to turn an
      RCU-protected dentry into a stable refcounted one: if the dentry count
      it zero, but the sequence number still validates the dentry, we can take
      a reference to it.

      Pull SCSI fix from James Bottomley:
       "This is a bug fix for the pm80xx driver.  It turns out that when the
        new hardware support was added in 3.10 the IO command size was kept at
        the old hard coded value.  This means that the driver attaches to some
        new cards and then simply hangs the system"
