3b554a14f4 [S390] cio: move final put_device to ccw_device_unregister
We use a test_and_clear_bit to prevent a device from being
unregistered twice. Unfortunately in this cases the "final"
put_device (from device_initialize) was issued more than once,
resulting in an use after free error. Fix this by moving this
put_device to ccw_device_unregister.

6ee4fec6be [S390] cio: remove subchannel init_name
We used the init_name to set the console subchannels name early
at the boot stage. With the patch cio: fix memleak in subchannel validation
we moved the name setting to the point where we actually register the
console subchannel. At this time we can do dynamic allocations and therefore
use dev_set_name.

ab6aae0902 [S390] cio: fix memleak in subchannel validation
When scanning for new subchannels we have a code path where we allocate
memory for a struct subchannel, set the device name (which is dynamically
allocated now) and do a check if the underlying device is blacklisted - if
so we free the subchannel structure.
Since we have not set up refcounting at this stage, the device name's memory
is lost. Fix this by moving the dev_set_name after the blacklist test.

Note: With this patch the init_name for the console subchannel becomes
virtually obsolete.

f014824ee7 [S390] cio: fix use after free in s390 debug feature
When using s390dbf with "%s" in sprintf format strings the string itself
is not copied to the dbf buffer.
Since in this case only pointers are stored in the s390dbf, we should
not use dev_name - which is bound to the lifetime of the device.
Reading this entry from s390dbf after the device was released will cause
an use after free error.

217ee6c64a [S390] cio: failing set online/offline processing.
When unit checks trigger sensing the device state is set to W4SENSE
until sense completion; then the device state is set back to
ONLINE. If a unit check occurs while set online or set offline
requests are processed then it might happen that the device's
temporary W4SENSE state causes these functions to terminate,
leaving the device in an inconsistent state when the state is set
back to ONLINE later on so that the device cannot be set online or
offline any longer.
To solve this, set online/offline and related rollback or error
routines are processed only if the device is in a final or
DISCONNECTED state.

03ba3782e8 writeback: switch to per-bdi threads for flushing data
This gets rid of pdflush for bdi writeout and kupdated style cleaning.
pdflush writeout suffers from lack of locality and also requires more
threads to handle the same workload, since it has to work in a
non-blocking fashion against each queue. This also introduces lumpy
behaviour and potential request starvation, since pdflush can be starved
for queue access if others are accessing it. A sample ffsb workload that
does random writes to files is about 8% faster here on a simple SATA drive
during the benchmark phase. File layout also seems a LOT more smooth in
vmstat:

A 10 disk test with btrfs performs 26% faster with per-bdi flushing. A
SSD based writeback test on XFS performs over 20% better as well, with
the throughput being very stable around 1GB/sec, where pdflush only
manages 750MB/sec and fluctuates wildly while doing so. Random buffered
writes to many files behave a lot better as well, as does random mmap'ed
writes.

A separate thread is added to sync the super blocks. In the long term,
adding sync_supers_bdi() functionality could get rid of this thread again.

1c7827ae70 Input: i8042 - bypass AUX IRQ delivery test on laptops
It seems that many laptops do not fully implement AUX LOOP command in
their keyboard controllers, causing issues with touchpad detection.
We know however that almost every laptop/portable uses a PS/2 pointing
device and, even if user disables it in favor of an external mouse,
the system will not use IRQ 12 for anything else. Therefore we may
bypass AUX IRQ delivery test when running on a laptop and assume that
it is routed properly.

Just to be safe we require the box to have good PNP data in order to
bypass the test.

e51ee31e8a powerpc/perf_counters: Reduce stack usage of power_check_constraints
Michael Ellerman reported stack-frame size warnings being produced
for power_check_constraints(), which uses an 8*8 array of u64 and
two 8*8 arrays of unsigned long, which are currently allocated on the
stack, along with some other smaller variables.  These arrays come
to 1.5kB on 64-bit or 1kB on 32-bit, which is a bit too much for the
stack.

This fixes the problem by putting these arrays in the existing
per-cpu cpu_hw_counters struct.  This is OK because two of the call
sites have interrupts disabled already; for the third call site we
use get_cpu_var, which disables preemption, so we know we won't
get a context switch while we're in power_check_constraints().
Note that power_check_constraints() can be called during context
switch but is not called from interrupts.

a6dbf93a2a powerpc: Fix bug where perf_counters breaks oprofile
Currently there is a bug where if you use oprofile on a pSeries
machine, then use perf_counters, then use oprofile again, oprofile
will not work correctly; it will lose the PMU configuration the next
time the hypervisor does a partition context switch, and thereafter
won't count anything.

Maynard Johnson identified the sequence causing the problem:
- oprofile setup calls ppc_enable_pmcs(), which calls
  pseries_lpar_enable_pmcs, which tells the hypervisor that we want
  to use the PMU, and sets the "PMU in use" flag in the lppaca.
  This flag tells the hypervisor whether it needs to save and restore
  the PMU config.
- The perf_counter code sets and clears the "PMU in use" flag directly
  as it context-switches the PMU between tasks, and leaves it clear
  when it finishes.
- oprofile setup, called for a new oprofile run, calls ppc_enable_pmcs,
  which does nothing because it has already been called.  In particular
  it doesn't set the "PMU in use" flag.

This fixes the problem by arranging for ppc_enable_pmcs to always set
the "PMU in use" flag.  It makes the perf_counter code call
ppc_enable_pmcs also rather than calling the lower-level function
directly, and removes the setting of the "PMU in use" flag from
pseries_lpar_enable_pmcs, since that is now done in its caller.

This also removes the declaration of pasemi_enable_pmcs because it
isn't defined anywhere.

5367b6887e x86: Fix code patching for paravirt-alternatives on 486
As reported in <http://bugs.debian.org/511703> and
<http://bugs.debian.org/515982>, kernels with paravirt-alternatives
enabled crash in text_poke_early() on at least some 486-class
processors.

The problem is that text_poke_early() itself uses inline functions
affected by paravirt-alternatives and so will modify instructions that
have already been prefetched.  Pentium and later processors will
invalidate the prefetched instructions in this case, but 486-class
processors do not.

Change sync_core() to limit prefetching on 486-class (and 386-class)
processors, and move the call to sync_core() above the call to the
modifiable local_irq_restore().

0d03d59d9b md: Fix "strchr" [drivers/md/dm-log-userspace.ko] undefined!
Commit b8313b6da7 ("dm log: remove incorrect
field from userspace table output") added a call to strstr() with a
single-character "needle" string parameter.

Unfortunately some versions of gcc replace such calls to strstr() by calls
to strchr() behind our back.  This causes linking errors if strchr() is
defined as an inline function in <asm/string.h> (e.g. on m68k):

| WARNING: "strchr" [drivers/md/dm-log-userspace.ko] undefined!

Avoid this by explicitly calling strchr() instead.

Is caused by setting one component field of the delta to zero
a bit too early. Move it to later.

( Note, this does not affect the NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS interactivity bug,
  it's just a reporting bug in essence. )
