      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull s390 fixes from Heiko Carstens:
      
       - Add missing handling of R_390_PLT32DBL relocation type in
         arch_kexec_apply_relocations_add(). Clang and the upcoming gcc 11.3
         generate such relocation entries, which our relocation code silently
         ignores, and which finally will result in an endless loop within the
         purgatory code in case of kexec.
      
       - Add proper handling of errors and print error messages when applying
         relocations
      
       - Fix duplicate tracking of irq nesting level in entry code
      
       - Let recordmcount.pl also look for jgnop mnemonic. Starting with
         binutils 2.37 objdump emits a jgnop mnemonic instead of brcl, which
         breaks mcount location detection. This is only a problem if used with
         compilers older than gcc 9, since with gcc 9 and newer compilers
         recordmcount.pl is not used anymore.
      
       - Remove preempt_disable()/preempt_enable() pair in
         kprobe_ftrace_handler() which was done for all architectures except
         for s390.
      
       - Update defconfig

      PCI: mt7621: Convert driver into 'bool' · aa50faff
      Sergio Paracuellos authored
      The driver is not ready yet to be compiled as a module since it depends
      on some symbols not exported on MIPS.  We have the following current
      problems:
      
        Building mips:allmodconfig ... failed
        --------------
        Error log:
        ERROR: modpost: missing MODULE_LICENSE() in drivers/pci/controller/pcie-mt7621.o
        ERROR: modpost: "mips_cm_unlock_other" [drivers/pci/controller/pcie-mt7621.ko] undefined!
        ERROR: modpost: "mips_cpc_base" [drivers/pci/controller/pcie-mt7621.ko] undefined!

        ERROR: modpost: "mips_gcr_base" [drivers/pci/controller/pcie-mt7621.ko] undefined!
      
      Temporarily move from 'tristate' to 'bool' until a better solution is
      ready.
      
      Also RALINK is redundant because SOC_MT7621 already depends on it.
      Hence, simplify condition.
      
      Fixes: 2bdd5238 ("PCI: mt7621: Add MediaTek MT7621 PCIe host controller driver").

      fget: clarify and improve __fget_files() implementation · e386dfc5
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Commit 054aa8d4 ("fget: check that the fd still exists after getting
      a ref to it") fixed a race with getting a reference to a file just as it
      was being closed.  It was a fairly minimal patch, and I didn't think
      re-checking the file pointer lookup would be a measurable overhead,
      since it was all right there and cached.
      
      But I was wrong, as pointed out by the kernel test robot.
      
      The 'poll2' case of the will-it-scale.per_thread_ops benchmark regressed
      quite noticeably.  Admittedly it seems to be a very artificial test:
      doing "poll()" system calls on regular files in a very tight loop in
      multiple threads.
      
      That means that basically all the time is spent just looking up file
      descriptors without ever doing anything useful with them (not that doing
      'poll()' on a regular file is useful to begin with).  And as a result it
      shows the extra "re-check fd" cost as a sore thumb.
      
      Happily, the regression is fixable by just writing the code to loook up
      the fd to be better and clearer.  There's still a cost to verify the
      file pointer, but now it's basically in the noise even for that
      benchmark that does nothing else - and the code is more understandable
      and has better comments too.
      
      [ Side note: this patch is also a classic case of one that looks very
        messy with the default greedy Myers diff - it's much more legible with
        either the patience of histogram diff algorithm ]
