Currently if kmemleak is disabled, the kmemleak objects can never be
freed, no matter if it's disabled by a user or due to fatal errors.

Those objects can be a big waste of memory.

With this patch, after kmemleak was disabled you can reclaim memory
with:

	# echo clear > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak

Currently if you stop kmemleak thread before disabling kmemleak,
kmemleak objects will be freed and so you won't be able to check
previously reported leaks.

With this patch, kmemleak objects won't be freed if there're leaks that
can be reported.

In the presence of memoryless nodes, numa_node_id() will return the
current CPU's NUMA node, but that may not be where we expect to allocate
from memory from.  Instead, we should rely on the fallback code in the
memory allocator itself, by using NUMA_NO_NODE.  Also, when calling
kthread_create_on_node(), use the nearest node with memory to the cpu in
question, rather than the node it is running on.

After commit 839a8e86 ("writeback: replace custom worker pool
implementation with unbound workqueue") when device is removed while we
are writing to it we crash in bdi_writeback_workfn() ->
set_worker_desc() because bdi->dev is NULL.

This can happen because even though bdi_unregister() cancels all pending
flushing work, nothing really prevents new ones from being queued from
balance_dirty_pages() or other places.

Fix the problem by clearing BDI_registered bit in bdi_unregister() and
checking it before scheduling of any flushing work.

bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed() used the mod_delayed_work() function to
schedule work to writeback dirty inodes.  The problem with this is that
it can delay work that is scheduled for immediate execution, such as the
work from sync_inodes_sb().  This can happen since mod_delayed_work()
can now steal work from a work_queue.  This fixes the problem by using
queue_delayed_work() instead.  This is a regression caused by commit
839a8e86 ("writeback: replace custom worker pool implementation with
unbound workqueue").

The reason that this causes a problem is that laptop-mode will change
the delay, dirty_writeback_centisecs, to 60000 (10 minutes) by default.
In the case that bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed() races with
sync_inodes_sb(), sync will be stopped for 10 minutes and trigger a hung
task.  Even if dirty_writeback_centisecs is not long enough to cause a
hung task, we still don't want to delay sync for that long.

We fix the problem by using queue_delayed_work() when we want to
schedule writeback sometime in future.  This function doesn't change the
timer if it is already armed.

For the same reason, we also change bdi_writeback_workfn() to
immediately queue the work again in the case that the work_list is not
empty.  The same problem can happen if the sync work is run on the
rescue worker.

  Intel MPX.  There's also a fix/workaround for OS X guests, nested

     creating any named objects which really cannot be executed in

     Brandewie (original patch from Thomas Gleixner).

   - Serialization of frequency transitions in cpufreq that involve
     PRECHANGE and POSTCHANGE notifications to avoid ordering issues
     resulting from race conditions.  From Srivatsa S Bhat and Viresh
     Kumar.

  didn't want to carry all of that tip timer stuff in powerpc -next, I
  setup a separate branch on top of Thomas tree with just that cpuidle
  driver in it, and Stephen has been carrying that in next separately

  Thankfully Greg reverted the patch that removes the old API so this
  merge can happen cleanly, but once merged, I will send a patch
  adjusting our new code to the new API so that Greg can send you the
  removal patch.

  Now as for the content of this branch, we have a lot of perf work for
  power8 new counters including support for our new "nest" counters
  (also called 24x7) under pHyp (not natively yet).

  We have new functionality when running under the OPAL firmware
  (non-virtualized or KVM host), such as access to the firmware error
  logs and service processor dumps, system parameters and sensors, along
  with a hwmon driver for the latter.

  There's also a bunch of bug fixes accross the board, some LE fixes,
  and a nice set of selftests for validating our various types of copy
  loops.

  On the Freescale side, we see mostly new chip/board revisions, some
  clock updates, better support for machine checks and debug exceptions,
  etc..."

Pull x86 old platform removal from Peter Anvin:
 "This patchset removes support for several completely obsolete
  platforms, where the maintainers either have completely vanished or
  acked the removal.  For some of them it is questionable if there even
  exists functional specimens of the hardware"

Pull compat time conversion changes from Peter Anvin:
 "Despite the branch name this is really neither an x86 nor an
  x32-specific patchset, although it the implementation of the
  discussions that followed the x32 security hole a few months ago.

  This removes get/put_compat_timespec/val() and replaces them with
  compat_get/put_timespec/val() which are savvy as to the current status
  of COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME.

  It removes several unused and/or incorrect/misleading functions (like
  compat_put_timeval_convert which doesn't in fact do any conversion)
  and also replaces several open-coded implementations what is now
  called compat_convert_timespec() with that function"

Pull x86 vdso changes from Peter Anvin:
 "This is the revamp of the 32-bit vdso and the associated cleanups.

  This adds timekeeping support to the 32-bit vdso that we already have
  in the 64-bit vdso.  Although 32-bit x86 is legacy, it is likely to
  remain in the embedded space for a very long time to come.

  This removes the traditional COMPAT_VDSO support; the configuration
  variable is reused for simply removing the 32-bit vdso, which will
  produce correct results but obviously suffer a performance penalty.
  Only one beta version of glibc was affected, but that version was
  unfortunately included in one OpenSUSE release.

  This is not the end of the vdso cleanups.  Stefani and Andy have
  agreed to continue work for the next kernel cycle; in fact Andy has
  already produced another set of cleanups that came too late for this
  cycle.

  An incidental, but arguably important, change is that this ensures
  that unused space in the VVAR page is properly zeroed.  It wasn't
  before, and would contain whatever garbage was left in memory by BIOS
  or the bootloader.  Since the VVAR page is accessible to user space
  this had the potential of information leaks"

Pull x86 boot changes from Peter Anvin:
 "This patchset is a set of cleanups aiming at librarize some of the
  common code from the boot environments.  We currently have three
  different "little environments" (boot, boot/compressed, and
  realmode/rm) in x86, and we are likely to soon get a fourth one
  (kexec/purgatory, which will have to be integrated in the kernel to
  support secure kexec).  This is primarily a cleanup in the
  anticipation of the latter.

  While Vivek implemented this, he ran into some bugs, in particular the
  memcmp implementation for when gcc punts from using the builtin would
  have a misnamed symbol, causing compilation errors if we were ever
  unlucky enough that gcc didn't want to inline the test"

Commit 2223f6f6 "x86: Clean up dumpstack_64.c code" changed
the irq_stack processing a little from what it was before.
The irq_stack_end variable needed to be cleared after its first
use. By setting irq_stack to the per cpu irq_stack and passing
that to analyze_stack(), and then clearing it after it is processed,
we can get back the original behavior.

Commit 2223f6f6 "x86: Clean up dumpstack_64.c code" moved the used
variable to a local within the loop, but the in_exception_stack()
depended on being non-volatile with the ability to change it.

By always re-initializing the "used" variable to zero, it would cause
the in_exception_stack() to return the same thing each time, and
cause the dump_stack loop to go into an infinite loop.

Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
 "There have been lots of changes in ALSA core, HD-audio and ASoC, also
  most of PCI drivers touched by conversions of printks.  All these
  resulted in a high volume and wide ranged patch sets in this release.
  Many changes are fairly trivial, but also lots of nice cleanups and
  refactors.  There are a few new drivers, most notably, the Intel
  Haswell and Baytrail ASoC driver.

  Core changes:
   - A bit modernization; embed the device struct into snd_card struct,
     so that it may be referred from the beginning.  A new
     snd_card_new() function is introduced for that, and all drivers
     have been converted.

   - Simplification in the device management code in ALSA core; now
     managed by a simple priority list instead

   - Converted many kernel messages to use the standard dev_err() & co;
     this would be the pretty visible difference, especially for
     HD-audio.

  HD-audio:
   - Conexant codecs use the auto-parser as default now; the old static
     code still remains in case of regressions.  Some old quirks have
     been rewritten with the fixups for auto-parser.

   - C-Media codecs also use the auto-parser as default now, too.

   - A device struct is assigned to each HD-audio codec, and the
     formerly hwdep attributes are accessible over the codec sysfs, too.
     hwdep attributes still remain for compatibility.

   - Split the PCI-specific stuff for HD-audio controller into a
     separate module, ane make a helper module for the generic
     controller driver.  This is a preliminary change for supporting
     Tegra HDMI controller in near future, which slipped from 3.15
     merge.

   - Device-specific fixes: mute LED support for Lenovo Ideapad, mic LED
     fix for HP laptops, more ASUS subwoofer quirks, yet more Dell
     laptop headset quirks

   - Make the HD-audio codec response a bit more robust

   - A few improvements on Realtek ALC282 / 283 about the pop noises

   - A couple of Intel HDMI fixes

  ASoC:
   - Lots of cleanups for enumerations; refactored lots of error prone
     original codes to use more modern APIs

   - Elimination of the ASoC level wrappers for I2C and SPI moving us
     closer to converting to regmap completely and avoiding some
     randconfig hassle

   - Provide both manually and transparently locked DAPM APIs rather
     than a mix of the two fixing some concurrency issues

   - Start converting CODEC drivers to use separate bus interface
     drivers rather than having them all in one file helping avoid
     dependency issues

   - DPCM support for Intel Haswell and Bay Trail platforms, lots of
     fixes

   - Lots of work on improvements for simple-card, DaVinci and the
     Renesas rcar drivers.

   - New drivers for Analog Devices ADAU1977, TI PCM512x and parts of
     the CSR SiRF SoC, TLV320AIC31XXX, Armada 370 DB, Cirrus cs42xx8

   - Fixes for the simple-card DAI format DT mess

   - DT support for a couple more devices.

   - Use of the tdm_slot mapping in a few drivers

  Others:
   - Support of reset_resume callback for improved S4 in USB-audio
     driver; the device with boot quirks have been little tested, which
     we need to watch out in this development cycle

   - Add PM support for ICE1712 driver (finally!); it's still pretty
     partial support, only for M-Audio devices"
