      drm: Change deadlock-avoidance algorithm for the modeset locks. · 07c13bb7
      Thomas Hellstrom authored
      For modeset locks we don't expect a high number of contending
      transactions so change algorithm from Wait-Die to Wound-Wait.

      locking: Implement an algorithm choice for Wound-Wait mutexes · 08295b3b
      Thomas Hellstrom authored
      The current Wound-Wait mutex algorithm is actually not Wound-Wait but
      Wait-Die. Implement also Wound-Wait as a per-ww-class choice. Wound-Wait
      is, contrary to Wait-Die a preemptive algorithm and is known to generate
      fewer backoffs. Testing reveals that this is true if the
      number of simultaneous contending transactions is small.
      As the number of simultaneous contending threads increases, Wait-Wound
      becomes inferior to Wait-Die in terms of elapsed time.
      Possibly due to the larger number of held locks of sleeping transactions.
      
      Update documentation and callers.

       "Small set of fixes for this series. Mostly just minor fixes, the only
        oddball in here is the sg change.
      
        The sg change came out of the stall fix for NVMe, where we added a
        mempool and limited us to a single page allocation. CONFIG_SG_DEBUG
        sort-of ruins that, since we'd need to account for that. That's
        actually a generic problem, since lots of drivers need to allocate SG
        lists. So this just removes support for CONFIG_SG_DEBUG, which I added
        back in 2007 and to my knowledge it was never useful.

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:
       "Two regression fixes, and a new syscall wire-up:
      
         - A fix for the recent conversion to time64_t in the powermac RTC
           routines, which caused time to go backward.
      
         - Another fix for fallout from the split PMD PTL conversion.
      
         - Wire up the new io_pgetevents() syscall.
      
        Thanks to: Aneesh Kumar K.V, Arnd Bergmann, Breno Leitao, Mathieu
        Malaterre"
