      sched/nohz: Fix rq->cpu_load calculations some more · 5aaa0b7a
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      Follow up on commit 556061b0 ("sched/nohz: Fix rq->cpu_load[]
calculations") since while that fixed the busy case it regressed the
mostly idle case.

Add a callback from the nohz exit to also age the rq->cpu_load[]
array. This closes the hole where either there was no nohz load
balance pass during the nohz, or there was a 'significant' amount of
idle time between the last nohz balance and the nohz exit.

So we'll update unconditionally from the tick to not insert any
accidental 0 load periods while busy, and we try and catch up from
nohz idle balance and nohz exit. Both these are still prone to missing
a jiffy, but that has always been the case.

      sched/x86: Use cpu_llc_shared_mask(cpu) for coregroup_mask · 9f646389
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      Commit commit 8e7fbcbc ("sched: Remove stale power aware scheduling
remnants and dysfunctional knobs") made a boo-boo with removing the
power aware scheduling muck from the x86 topology bits.

We should unconditionally use the llc_shared mask for multi-core.

      Merge branch 'x86-trampoline-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip · 731a7378
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Pull x86 trampoline rework from H. Peter Anvin:
 "This code reworks all the "trampoline"/"realmode" code (various bits
  that need to live in the first megabyte of memory, most but not all of
  which runs in real mode at some point) in the kernel into a single
  object.  The main reason for doing this is that it eliminates the last
  place in the kernel where we needed pages to be mapped RWX.  This code
  separates all that code into proper R/RW/RX pages."

Fix up conflicts in arch/x86/kernel/Makefile (mca removed next to reboot
code), and arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c (reboot code moved around in one
branch, modified in this one), and arch/x86/tools/relocs.c (mostly same
code came in earlier due to working around the ld bugs just before the
3.4 release).

Also remove stale x86-relocs entry from scripts/.gitignore as per Peter
Anvin.

      Pull EDAC internal API changes from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
 "This changeset is the first part of a series of patches that fixes the
  EDAC sybsystem.  On this set, it changes the Kernel EDAC API in order
  to properly represent the Intel i3/i5/i7, Xeon 3xxx/5xxx/7xxx, and
  Intel E5-xxxx memory controllers.

  The EDAC core used to assume that:

       - the DRAM chip select pin is directly accessed by the memory
         controller

       - when multiple channels are used, they're all filled with the
         same type of memory.

  None of the above premises is true on Intel memory controllers since
  2002, when RAMBUS and FB-DIMMs were introduced, and Advanced Memory
  Buffer or by some similar technologies hides the direct access to the
  DRAM pins.

  So, the existing drivers for those chipsets had to lie to the EDAC
  core, in general telling that just one channel is filled.  That
  produces some hard to understand error messages like:

       EDAC MC0: CE row 3, channel 0, label "DIMM1": 1 Unknown error(s): memory read error on FATAL area : cpu=0 Err=0008:00c2 (ch=2), addr = 0xad1f73480 => socket=0, Channel=0(mask=2), rank=1

  The location information there (row3 channel 0) is completely bogus:
  it has no physical meaning, and are just some random values that the
  driver uses to talk with the EDAC core.  The error actually happened
  at CPU socket 0, channel 0, slot 1, but this is not reported anywhere,
  as the EDAC core doesn't know anything about the memory layout.  So,
  only advanced users that know how the EDAC driver works and that tests
  their systems to see how DIMMs are mapped can actually benefit for
  such error logs.

  This patch series fixes the error report logic, in order to allow the
  EDAC to expose the memory architecture used by them to the EDAC core.
  So, as the EDAC core now understands how the memory is organized, it
  can provide an useful report:

       EDAC MC0: CE memory read error on DIMM1 (channel:0 slot:1 page:0x364b1b offset:0x600 grain:32 syndrome:0x0 - count:1 area:DRAM err_code:0001:0090 socket:0 channel_mask:1 rank:4)

  The location of the DIMM where the error happened is reported by "MC0"
  (cpu socket #0), at "channel:0 slot:1" location, and matches the
  physical location of the DIMM.

  There are two remaining issues not covered by this patch series:

       - The EDAC sysfs API will still report bogus values.  So,
         userspace tools like edac-utils will still use the bogus data;

       - Add a new tracepoint-based way to get the binary information
         about the errors.

  Those are on a second series of patches (also at -next), but will
  probably miss the train for 3.5, due to the slow review process."

drivers/edac/edac_device.c

      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
 "The whole series has been sitting in -next for quite a while with no
  complaints.  The last change to the series was before the weekend the
  removal of an SPI patch which Grant - even though previously acked by
  himself - appeared to raise objections.  So I removed it until the
  situation is clarified.  Other than that all the patches have the acks
  from their respective maintainers, all MIPS and x86 defconfigs are
  building fine and I'm not aware of any problems introduced by this
  series.

  Among the key features for this patch series is a sizable patchset for
  Lantiq which among other things introduces support for Lantiq's
  flagship product, the FALCON SOC.  It also means that the opensource
  developers behind this patchset have overtaken Lantiq's competing
  inhouse development team that was working behind closed doors.

  Less noteworthy the ath79 patchset which adds support for a few more
  chip variants, cleanups and fixes.  Finally the usual dose of tweaking
  of generic code."

Fix up trivial conflicts in arch/mips/lantiq/xway/gpio_{ebu,stp}.c where
printk spelling fixes clashed with file move and eventual removal of the
printk.
