 "A few fixes for dm-snapshot, a 32 bit fix for dm-stats, a couple error
  handling fixes for dm-multipath.  A fix for the thin provisioning
  target to not expose non-zero discard limits if discards are disabled.

  Lastly, add two DM module parameters which allow users to tune the
  emergency memory reserves that DM mainatins per device -- this helps
  fix a long-standing issue for dm-multipath.  The conservative default
  reserve for request-based dm-multipath devices (256) has proven
  problematic for users with many multipathed SCSI devices but
  relatively little memory.  To responsibly select a smaller value users
  should use the new nr_bios tracepoint info (via commit 75afb352
  "block: Add nr_bios to block_rq_remap tracepoint") to determine the
  peak number of bios their workloads create"

 "Here are a few things for -rc2, this time it's all written by me so it
  can only be perfect .... right ? :)

  So we have the fix to call irq_enter/exit on the irq stack we've been
  discussing, plus a cleanup on top to remove an unused (and broken)
  stack limit tracking feature (well, make it 32-bit only in fact where
  it is used and works properly).

  Then we have two things that I wrote over the last couple of days and
  made the executive decision to include just because I can (and I'm
  sure you won't object .... right ?).

  They fix a couple of annoying and long standing "issues":

   - We had separate zImages for when booting via Open Firmware vs.
     booting via a flat device-tree, while it's trivial to make one that
     deals with both

   - We wasted a ton of cycles spinning secondary CPUs uselessly at boot
     instead of starting them when needed on pseries, thus contributing
     significantly to global warming"

      MIPS: mm: Move some checks out of 'for' loop in DMA operations · 55c25c2f
      Jayachandran C authored 
      The check cpu_needs_post_dma_flush() in mips_dma_sync_sg_for_cpu() and
the check !plat_device_is_coherent() in mips_dma_sync_sg_for_device()
can be moved outside the for loop.

As a side effect, this also avoids a GCC bug that caused kernel compile
to fail with the error:

arch/mips/mm/dma-default.c: In function 'mips_dma_sync_sg_for_cpu':
arch/mips/mm/dma-default.c:316:1: internal compiler error: in add_insn_before, at emit-rtl.c:3852

This gcc failure is seen in Code Sourcery toolchains [e.g. gcc version
4.7.2 (Sourcery CodeBench Lite 2012.09-99)] after commit "MIPS: Optimize
current_cpu_type() for better code."

      xen/p2m: check MFN is in range before using the m2p table · 0160676b
      David Vrabel authored 
      On hosts with more than 168 GB of memory, a 32-bit guest may attempt
to grant map an MFN that is error cannot lookup in its mapping of the
m2p table.  There is an m2p lookup as part of m2p_add_override() and
m2p_remove_override().  The lookup falls off the end of the mapped
portion of the m2p and (because the mapping is at the highest virtual
address) wraps around and the lookup causes a fault on what appears to
be a user space address.

do_page_fault() (thinking it's a fault to a userspace address), tries
to lock mm->mmap_sem.  If the gntdev device is used for the grant map,
m2p_add_override() is called from from gnttab_mmap() with mm->mmap_sem
already locked.  do_page_fault() then deadlocks.

The deadlock would most commonly occur when a 64-bit guest is started
and xenconsoled attempts to grant map its console ring.

Introduce mfn_to_pfn_no_overrides() which checks the MFN is within the
mapped portion of the m2p table before accessing the table and use
this in m2p_add_override(), m2p_remove_override(), and mfn_to_pfn()
(which already had the correct range check).

All faults caused by accessing the non-existant parts of the m2p are
thus within the kernel address space and exception_fixup() is called
without trying to lock mm->mmap_sem.

This means that for MFNs that are outside the mapped range of the m2p
then mfn_to_pfn() will always look in the m2p overrides.  This is
correct because it must be a foreign MFN (and the PFN in the m2p in
this case is only relevant for the other domain).

      powerpc/pseries: Do not start secondaries in Open Firmware · dbe78b40
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored 
      Starting secondary CPUs early on from Open Firmware and placing them
in a holding spin loop slows down the boot process significantly under
some hypervisors such as KVM.

This is also unnecessary when RTAS supports querying the CPU state

So let's not do it.

      powerpc: Remove ksp_limit on ppc64 · cbc9565e
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored 
      We've been keeping that field in thread_struct for a while, it contains
the "limit" of the current stack pointer and is meant to be used for
detecting stack overflows.

It has a few problems however:

 - First, it was never actually *used* on 64-bit. Set and updated but
not actually exploited

 - When switching stack to/from irq and softirq stacks, it's update
is racy unless we hard disable interrupts, which is costly. This
is fine on 32-bit as we don't soft-disable there but not on 64-bit.

Thus rather than fixing 2 in order to implement 1 in some hypothetical
future, let's remove the code completely from 64-bit. In order to avoid
a clutter of ifdef's, we remove the updates from C code completely
during interrupt stack switching, and instead maintain it from the
asm helper that is used to do the stack switching in the first place.

      powerpc/irq: Run softirqs off the top of the irq stack · 0366a1c7
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored 
      Nowadays, irq_exit() calls __do_softirq() pretty much directly
instead of calling do_softirq() which switches to the decicated
softirq stack.

This has lead to observed stack overflows on powerpc since we call
irq_enter() and irq_exit() outside of the scope that switches to
the irq stack.

This fixes it by moving the stack switching up a level, making
irq_enter() and irq_exit() run off the irq stack.

      mm: Place preemption point in do_mlockall() loop · 22356f44
      Paul E. McKenney authored 
      There is a loop in do_mlockall() that lacks a preemption point, which
means that the following can happen on non-preemptible builds of the
kernel. Dave Jones reports:

 "My fuzz tester keeps hitting this.  Every instance shows the non-irq
  stack came in from mlockall.  I'm only seeing this on one box, but
  that has more ram (8gb) than my other machines, which might explain
  it.

This commit addresses this problem by inserting the required preemption
point.
