      Pull ARM Xen SMP updates from Stefano Stabellini:
       "This contains a bunch of Xen/ARM specific changes, including some
        fixes, SMP support for Xen on ARM, and moving the xenvm machine from
        mach-vexpress to mach-virt.
      
        The non-Xen files that are touched are arch/arm/Kconfig, to select
        ARM_PSCI on XEN, and arch/arm/boot/dts/Makefile, to build the xenvm
        DTB if CONFIG_ARCH_VIRT.
      
        Highlights:
      
         - Move xenvm to mach-virt.
      
         - Implement SMP support in Xen on ARM.
      
         - Add support for machine reboot and power off via Xen hypercalls"

      Pull remoteproc update from Ohad Ben-Cohen:
      
       - Some refactoring, cleanups and small improvements from Sjur
         Brændeland.  The improvements are mainly about better supporting
         varios virtio properties (such as virtio's config space, status and
         features).  I now see that I messed up while commiting one of Sjur's
         patches and erroneously put myself as the author, as well as letting
         a nasty typo sneak in.  I will not fix this in order to avoid
         rebasing the patches.  Sjur - sorry!
      
       - A new remoteproc driver for OMAP-L13x (technically a DaVinci
         platform) from Robert Tivy.
      
       - Extend OMAP support to OMAP5 as well, from Vincent Stehlé.
      
       - Fix Kconfig VIRTUALIZATION dependency, from Suman Anna (a
         non-critical fix which arrived late during the rc cycle).

      Pull late ARM Exynos multiplatform changes from Arnd Bergmann:
       "These continue the multiplatform support for exynos, adding support
        for building most of the essential drivers (clocksource, clk, irqchip)
        when combined with other platforms.  As a result, it should become
        really easy to add full multiplatform exynos support in 3.11, although
        we don't yet enable it for 3.10.
      
        The changes were not included in the earlier multiplatform series in
        order to avoid clashes with the other Exynos updates.
      
        This also includes work from Tomasz Figa to fix the pwm clocksource
        code on Exynos, which is not strictly required for multiplatform, but
        related to the other patches in this set and needed as a bug fix for
        at least one board."

      Pull ARM SoC late cleanups from Arnd Bergmann:
       "These are cleanups and smaller changes that either depend on earlier
        feature branches or came in late during the development cycle.  We
        normally try to get all cleanups early, so these are the exceptions:
      
         - A follow-up on the clocksource reworks, hopefully the last time we
           need to merge clocksource subsystem changes through arm-soc.
      
           A first set of patches was part of the original 3.10 arm-soc
           cleanup series because of interdependencies with timer drivers now
           moved out of arch/arm.
      
         - Migrating the SPEAr13xx platform away from using auxdata for DMA
           channel descriptions towards using information in device tree,
           based on the earlier SPEAr multiplatform series
      
         - A few follow-ups on the Atmel SAMA5 support and other changes for
           Atmel at91 based on the larger at91 reworks.
      
         - Moving the armada irqchip implementation to drivers/irqchip
      
         - Several OMAP cleanups following up on the larger series already
           merged in 3.10."

      Pull ARM SoC platform updates (part 3) from Arnd Bergmann:
       "This is the third and smallest of the SoC specific updates.  Changes
        include:
      
         - SMP support for the Xilinx zynq platform
         - Smaller imx changes
         - LPAE support for mvebu
         - Moving the orion5x, kirkwood, dove and mvebu platforms to a common
           "mbus" driver for their internal devices.
      
        It would be good to get feedback on the location of the "mbus" driver.
        Since this is used on multiple platforms may potentially get shared
        with other architectures (powerpc and arm64), it was moved to
        drivers/bus/.  We expect other similar drivers to get moved to the
        same place in order to avoid creating more top-level directories under

      Pull ARM SoC platform updates (part 2) from Arnd Bergmann:
       "These patches are all for Renesas shmobile, and depend on the earlier
        pinctrl updates.  Remarkably, this adds support for three new SoCs:
        r8a73a4, r8a73a4 and r8a7778.  The bulk of the code added for these is
        for pinctrl (using the new subsystem) and for clocks (not yet using
        the common clock subsystem).  The latter will have to get converted in
        one of the upcoming releases, but shmobile is not ready for that yet.
      
        The series also contains Renesas shmobile board changes, adding one
        board file for each of the three new SoCs.  These boards are using a
        mix of classic and device-tree based probing, as there is still a lot
        of infrastructure in shmobile that has not been converted to DT yet.
        Once those are resolved to the degree that no board specific setup
        code is needed, they can get folded into the respective SoC setup files."

      menuconfig: fix NULL pointer dereference when searching a symbol · 383da76f
      Li Zefan authored
      Searching for PPC_EFIKA results in a segmentation fault, and it's
      because get_symbol_prop() returns NULL.
      
      In this case CONFIG_PPC_EFIKA is defined in arch/powerpc/platforms/
      52xx/Kconfig, so it won't be parsed if ARCH!=PPC, but menuconfig knows
      this symbol when it parses sound/soc/fsl/Kconfig:
      
          config SND_MPC52xx_SOC_EFIKA
              tristate "SoC AC97 Audio support for bbplan Efika and STAC9766"
              depends on PPC_EFIKA
      
      This bug was introduced by commit bcdedcc1 ("menuconfig: print more
      info for symbol without prompts").

      x86 rwsem: avoid taking slow path when stealing write lock · a31a369b
      Michel Lespinasse authored
      modify __down_write[_nested] and __down_write_trylock to grab the write
      lock whenever the active count is 0, even if there are queued waiters
      (they must be writers pending wakeup, since the active count is 0).
      
      Note that this is an optimization only; architectures without this
      optimization will still work fine:
      
      - __down_write() would take the slow path which would take the wait_lock
        and then try stealing the lock (as in the spinlocked rwsem implementation)
      
      - __down_write_trylock() would fail, but callers must be ready to deal
        with that - since there are some writers pending wakeup, they could
        have raced with us and obtained the lock before we steal it.

      rwsem: do not block readers at head of queue if other readers are active · 25c39325
      Michel Lespinasse authored
      This change fixes a race condition where a reader might determine it
      needs to block, but by the time it acquires the wait_lock the rwsem has
      active readers and no queued waiters.
      
      In this situation the reader can run in parallel with the existing
      active readers; it does not need to block until the active readers
      complete.
      
      Thanks to Peter Hurley for noticing this possible race.

      rwsem: implement support for write lock stealing on the fastpath · fe6e674c
      Michel Lespinasse authored
      When we decide to wake up readers, we must first grant them as many read
      locks as necessary, and then actually wake up all these readers.  But in
      order to know how many read shares to grant, we must first count the
      readers at the head of the queue.  This might take a while if there are
      many readers, and we want to be protected against a writer stealing the
      lock while we're counting.  To that end, we grant the first reader lock
      before counting how many more readers are queued.
      
      We also require some adjustments to the wake_type semantics.
      
      RWSEM_WAKE_NO_ACTIVE used to mean that we had found the count to be
      RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS, in which case the rwsem was known to be free as
      nobody could steal it while we hold the wait_lock.  This doesn't make
      sense once we implement fastpath write lock stealing, so we now use
      RWSEM_WAKE_ANY in that case.
      
      Similarly, when rwsem_down_write_failed found that a read lock was
      active, it would use RWSEM_WAKE_READ_OWNED which signalled that new
      readers could be woken without checking first that the rwsem was
      available.  We can't do that anymore since the existing readers might
      release their read locks, and a writer could steal the lock before we
      wake up additional readers.  So, we have to use a new RWSEM_WAKE_READERS
      value to indicate we only want to wake readers, but we don't currently
      hold any read lock.

      rwsem: simplify __rwsem_do_wake · 8cf5322c
      Michel Lespinasse authored
      This is mostly for cleanup value:
      
      - We don't need several gotos to handle the case where the first
        waiter is a writer. Two simple tests will do (and generate very
        similar code).
      
      - In the remainder of the function, we know the first waiter is a reader,
        so we don't have to double check that. We can use do..while loops
        to iterate over the readers to wake (generates slightly better code).

      rwsem: more agressive lock stealing in rwsem_down_write_failed · ed00f643
      Michel Lespinasse authored
      Some small code simplifications can be achieved by doing more agressive
      lock stealing:
      
      - When rwsem_down_write_failed() notices that there are no active locks
        (and thus no thread to wake us if we decided to sleep), it used to wake
        the first queued process. However, stealing the lock is also sufficient
        to deal with this case, so we don't need this check anymore.
      
      - In try_get_writer_sem(), we can steal the lock even when the first waiter
        is a reader. This is correct because the code path that wakes readers is
        protected by the wait_lock. As to the performance effects of this change,
        they are expected to be minimal: readers are still granted the lock
        (rather than having to acquire it themselves) when they reach the front
        of the wait queue, so we have essentially the same behavior as in
        rwsem-spinlock.

      rwsem: simplify rwsem_down_write_failed · 023fe4f7
      Michel Lespinasse authored
      When waking writers, we never grant them the lock - instead, they have
      to acquire it themselves when they run, and remove themselves from the
      wait_list when they succeed.
      
      As a result, we can do a few simplifications in rwsem_down_write_failed():
      
      - We don't need to check for !waiter.task since __rwsem_do_wake() doesn't
        remove writers from the wait_list
      
      - There is no point releaseing the wait_lock before entering the wait loop,
        as we will need to reacquire it immediately. We can change the loop so
        that the lock is always held at the start of each loop iteration.
      
      - We don't need to get a reference on the task structure, since the task
        is responsible for removing itself from the wait_list. There is no risk,
        like in the rwsem_down_read_failed() case, that a task would wake up and
        exit (thus destroying its task structure) while __rwsem_do_wake() is
        still running - wait_lock protects against that.

      Michel Lespinasse authored
      When trying to acquire a read lock, the RWSEM_ACTIVE_READ_BIAS
      adjustment doesn't cause other readers to block, so we never have to

      rwsem_down_read_failed().
      
      We also never want to steal the lock in rwsem_down_read_failed(), so we
      don't have to grab the wait_lock either.

      rwsem: shorter spinlocked section in rwsem_down_failed_common() · f7dd1cee

      This change reduces the size of the spinlocked and TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE
      sections in rwsem_down_failed_common():
      
      - We only need the sem->wait_lock to insert ourselves on the wait_list;
        the waiter node can be prepared outside of the wait_lock.
      
      - The task state only needs to be set to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE immediately
        before checking if we actually need to sleep; it doesn't need to protect
        the entire function.

      rwsem: make the waiter type an enumeration rather than a bitmask · e2d57f78
      Michel Lespinasse authored
      We are not planning to add some new waiter flags, so we can convert the

      Background: David Howells suggested I do this back when I tried adding
      a new waiter type for unfair readers. However, I believe the cleanup
      applies regardless of that use case.

      powerpc: Make hard_irq_disable() do the right thing vs. irq tracing · 5737789c
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
      If hard_irq_disable() is called while interrupts are already soft-disabled
      (which is the most common case) all is already well.
      
      However you can (and in some cases want) to call it while everything is
      enabled (to make sure you don't get a lazy even, for example before entry
      into KVM guests) and in this case we need to inform the irq tracer that
      the irqs are going off.
      
      We have to change the inline into a macro to avoid an include circular
      dependency hell hole.
