This change focus on improving the speed of object freeing in the "slowpath" of kmem_cache_free_bulk. The calls slab_free (fastpath) and __slab_free (slowpath) have been extended with support for bulk free, which amortize the overhead of the (locked) cmpxchg_double. To use the new bulking feature, we build what I call a detached freelist. The detached freelist takes advantage of three properties: 1) the free function call owns the object that is about to be freed, thus writing into this memory is synchronization-free. 2) many freelist's can co-exist side-by-side in the same slab-page each with a separate head pointer. 3) it is the visibility of the head pointer that needs synchronization. Given these properties, the brilliant part is that the detached freelist can be constructed without any need for synchronization. The freelist is constructed directly in the page objects, without any synchronization needed. The detached freelist is allocated on the stack of the function call kmem_cache_free_bulk. Thus, the freelist head pointer is not visible to other CPUs. All objects in a SLUB freelist must belong to the same slab-page. Thus, constructing the detached freelist is about matching objects that belong to the same slab-page. The bulk free array is scanned is a progressive manor with a limited look-ahead facility. Kmem debug support is handled in call of slab_free(). Notice kmem_cache_free_bulk no longer need to disable IRQs. This only slowed down single free bulk with approx 3 cycles.

Make it possible to free a freelist with several objects by adjusting API of slab_free() and __slab_free() to have head, tail and an objects counter (cnt). Tail being NULL indicate single object free of head object. This allow compiler inline constant propagation in slab_free() and slab_free_freelist_hook() to avoid adding any overhead in case of single object free. This allows a freelist with several objects (all within the same slab-page) to be free'ed using a single locked cmpxchg_double in __slab_free() and with an unlocked cmpxchg_double in slab_free(). Object debugging on the free path is also extended to handle these freelists. When CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is enabled it will also detect if objects don't belong to the same slab-page. These changes are needed for the next patch to bulk free the detached freelists it introduces and constructs. Micro benchmarking showed no performance reduction due to this change, when debugging is turned off (compiled with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG).

Commit 08d78658 ("panic: release stale console lock to always get the logbuf printed out") introduced an unwanted bad unlock balance report when panic() is called directly and not from OOPS (e.g. from out_of_memory()). The difference is that in case of OOPS we disable locks debug in oops_enter() and on direct panic call nobody does that.

sigsuspend() is nowhere used except in signal.c itself, so we can mark it static do not pollute the global namespace. But this patch is more than a boring cleanup patch, it fixes a real issue on UserModeLinux. UML has a special console driver to display ttys using xterm, or other terminal emulators, on the host side. Vegard reported that sometimes UML is unable to spawn a xterm and he's facing the following warning: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 908 at include/linux/thread_info.h:128 sigsuspend+0xab/0xc0() It turned out that this warning makes absolutely no sense as the UML xterm code calls sigsuspend() on the host side, at least it tries. But as the kernel itself offers a sigsuspend() symbol the linker choose this one instead of the glibc wrapper. Interestingly this code used to work since ever but always blocked signals on the wrong side. Some recent kernel change made the WARN_ON() trigger and uncovered the bug. It is a wonderful example of how much works by chance on computers. :-) Fixes: 68f3f16d ("new helper: sigsuspend()") Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at> Reported-by: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@oracle.com> Tested-by: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@oracle.com> Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> [3.5+] Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

For the root directory, . and .. are faked (using dir_emit_dots()) and ctx->pos is reset from 2 to 0. A corrupted root directory could cause fat_get_entry() to fail, but ->iterate() (fat_readdir()) reports progress to the VFS (with ctx->pos rewound to 0), so any following calls to ->iterate() continue to return the same entries again and again. The result is that userspace will never see the end of the directory, causing e.g. 'ls' to hang in a getdents() loop.

Hugh Dickins pointed out problems with the new hugetlbfs fallocate hole punch code. These problems are in the routine remove_inode_hugepages and mostly occur in the case where there are holes in the range of pages to be removed. These holes could be the result of a previous hole punch or simply sparse allocation. The current code could access pages outside the specified range. remove_inode_hugepages handles both hole punch and truncate operations. Page index handling was fixed/cleaned up so that the loop index always matches the page being processed. The code now only makes a single pass through the range of pages as it was determined page faults could not race with truncate. A cond_resched() was added after removing up to PAGEVEC_SIZE pages. Some totally unnecessary code in hugetlbfs_fallocate() that remained from early development was also removed.

MADV_NOHUGEPAGE processing is too restrictive. kvm already disables hugepage but hugepage_madvise() takes the error path when we ask to turn on the MADV_NOHUGEPAGE bit and the bit is already on. This causes Qemu's new postcopy migration feature to fail on s390 because its first action is to madvise the guest address space as NOHUGEPAGE.

This patchset introduces IIO software triggers, offers a way of configuring them via configfs and adds the IIO hrtimer based interrupt source to be used with software triggers. The architecture is now split in 3 parts, to remove all IIO trigger specific parts from IIO configfs core: (1) IIO configfs - creates the root of the IIO configfs subsys. (2) IIO software triggers - software trigger implementation, dynamically creating /config/iio/triggers group. (3) IIO hrtimer trigger - is the first interrupt source for software triggers (with syfs to follow). Each trigger type can implement its own set of attributes. Lockdep seems to be happy with the locking in configfs patch. This patch (of 5): We don't want to hardcode default groups at subsystem creation time. We export: * configfs_register_group * configfs_unregister_group to allow drivers to programatically create/destroy groups later, after module init time. This is needed for IIO configfs support.

The various allocators return aligned memory. Telling the compiler that allows it to generate better code in many cases, for example when the return value is immediately passed to memset(). Some code does become larger, but at least we win twice as much as we lose: $ scripts/bloat-o-meter /tmp/vmlinux vmlinux add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 13/52 up/down: 995/-2140 (-1145) An example of the different (and smaller) code can be seen in mm_alloc(). Before: : 48 8d 78 08 lea 0x8(%rax),%rdi : 48 89 c1 mov %rax,%rcx : 48 89 c2 mov %rax,%rdx : 48 c7 00 00 00 00 00 movq $0x0,(%rax) : 48 c7 80 48 03 00 00 movq $0x0,0x348(%rax) : 00 00 00 00 : 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax : 48 83 e7 f8 and $0xfffffffffffffff8,%rdi : 48 29 f9 sub %rdi,%rcx : 81 c1 50 03 00 00 add $0x350,%ecx : c1 e9 03 shr $0x3,%ecx : f3 48 ab rep stos %rax,%es:(%rdi) After: : 48 89 c2 mov %rax,%rdx : b9 6a 00 00 00 mov $0x6a,%ecx : 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax : 48 89 d7 mov %rdx,%rdi : f3 48 ab rep stos %rax,%es:(%rdi) So gcc's strategy is to do two possibly (but not really, of course) unaligned stores to the first and last word, then do an aligned rep stos covering the middle part with a little overlap. Maybe arches which do not allow unaligned stores gain even more. I don't know if gcc can actually make use of alignments greater than 8 for anything, so one could probably drop the __assume_xyz_alignment macros and just use __assume_aligned(8). The increases in code size are mostly caused by gcc deciding to opencode strlen() using the check-four-bytes-at-a-time trick when it knows the buffer is sufficiently aligned (one function grew by 200 bytes). Now it turns out that many of these strlen() calls showing up were in fact redundant, and they're gone from -next. Applying the two patches to next-20151001 bloat-o-meter instead says add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 6/52 up/down: 244/-2140 (-1896) Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Pull more power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki: "These are mostly fixes and cleanups (ACPI core, PM core, cpufreq, ACPI EC driver, device properties) including three reverts of recent intel_pstate driver commits due to a regression introduced by one of them plus support for Atom Airmont cores in intel_pstate (which really boils down to adding new frequency tables for Airmont) and additional turbostat updates. Specifics: - Revert three recent intel_pstate driver commits one of which introduced a regression and the remaining two depend on the problematic one (Rafael Wysocki). - Fix breakage related to the recently introduced ACPI _CCA object support in the PCI DMA setup code (Suravee Suthikulpanit). - Fix up the recently introduced ACPI CPPC support to only use the hardware-reduced version of the PCCT structure as the only architecture to support it (ARM64) will only use hardware-reduced ACPI anyway (Ashwin Chaugule). - Fix a cpufreq mediatek driver build problem (Arnd Bergmann). - Fix the SMBus transaction handling implementation in the ACPI core to avoid re-entrant calls to wait_event_timeout() which makes intermittent boot stalls related to the Smart Battery Subsystem initialization go away and revert a workaround of another problem with the same underlying root cause (Chris Bainbridge). - Fix the generic wakeup interrupts framework to avoid using invalid IRQ numbers (Dmitry Torokhov). - Remove a redundant check from the ACPI EC driver (Markus Elfring). - Modify the intel_pstate driver so it can support more Atom flavors than just one (Baytrail) and add support for Atom Airmont cores (which require new freqnency tables) to it (Philippe Longepe). - Clean up MSR-related symbols in turbostat (Len Brown)" * tag 'pm+acpi-4.4-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: PCI: Fix OF logic in pci_dma_configure() Revert "Documentation: kernel_parameters for Intel P state driver" cpufreq: mediatek: fix build error cpufreq: intel_pstate: Add separate support for Airmont cores cpufreq: intel_pstate: Replace BYT with ATOM Revert "cpufreq: intel_pstate: Use ACPI perf configuration" Revert "cpufreq: intel_pstate: Avoid calculation for max/min" ACPI-EC: Drop unnecessary check made before calling acpi_ec_delete_query() Revert "ACPI / SBS: Add 5 us delay to fix SBS hangs on MacBook" ACPI / SMBus: Fix boot stalls / high CPU caused by reentrant code PM / wakeirq: check that wake IRQ is valid before accepting it ACPI / CPPC: Use h/w reduced version of the PCCT structure x86: remove unused definition of MSR_NHM_PLATFORM_INFO tools/power turbostat: use new name for MSR_PLATFORM_INFO

As previously reported, some userspace applications depend on bogomips showed by /proc/cpuinfo. Although there is much less legacy impact on aarch64 than arm, it does break libvirt. This patch reverts commit 326b16db ("arm64: delay: don't bother reporting bogomips in /proc/cpuinfo"), but with some tweak due to context change and without the pr_info().

This was totally lost when I originally created the atomic helpers. We probably should also check possible_clones in the helpers, but since the legacy ones didn't do that this is for a separate patch.
