dd5d19bafd rcu: Create rcutree plugins to handle hotplug CPU for multi-level trees
When offlining CPUs from a multi-level tree, there is the
possibility of offlining the last CPU from a given node when
there are preempted RCU read-side critical sections that
started life on one of the CPUs on that node.

In this case, the corresponding tasks will be enqueued via the
task_struct's rcu_node_entry list_head onto one of the
rcu_node's blocked_tasks[] lists.  These tasks need to be moved
somewhere else so that they will prevent the current grace
period from ending. That somewhere is the root rcu_node.

0c7d400faf crypto: skcipher - Fix skcipher_dequeue_givcrypt NULL test
As struct skcipher_givcrypt_request includes struct crypto_request
at a non-zero offset, testing for NULL after converting the pointer
returned by crypto_dequeue_request does not work.  This can result
in IPsec crashes when the queue is depleted.

This patch fixes it by doing the pointer conversion only when the
return value is non-NULL.  In particular, we create a new function
__crypto_dequeue_request that does the pointer conversion.

13e82d023c SFI: add capability to parse ACPI tables
Extend SFI to access standard ACPI tables.
(eg. the PCI MCFG) using sfi_acpi_table_parse().

Note that this is _not_ a hybrid ACPI + SFI mode.
The platform boots in either ACPI mode or SFI mode.

SFI runs only with acpi_disabled=1, which can be set
at build-time via CONFIG_ACPI=n, or at boot time by
the failure to find ACPI platform support.

So this extension simply allows SFI-platforms to
re-use existing standard table formats that happen to
be defined to live in ACPI envelopes.

e55a5999ff ACPI: Handle CONFIG_ACPI=n better from linux/acpi.h
linux/acpi.h is the top level header for interfacing
with the ACPI sub-system, so acpi_disabled should be
up there instead of down in asm/acpi.h -- particularly
since asm/acpi.h doesn't exist for all architectures.

Same story for acpi_table_parse(), which is a top-level
API to Linux/ACPI.

This is necessary for building some code that
used to always depend on CONFIG_ACPI=y, but will soon
also need to build with CONFIG_ACPI=n.

7285dd7fd3 clocksource: Resolve cpu hotplug dead lock with TSC unstable
Martin Schwidefsky analyzed it:
To register a clocksource the clocksource_mutex is acquired and if
necessary timekeeping_notify is called to install the clocksource as
the timekeeper clock. timekeeping_notify uses stop_machine which needs
to take cpu_add_remove_lock mutex.
Starting a new cpu is done with the cpu_add_remove_lock mutex held.
native_cpu_up checks the tsc of the new cpu and if the tsc is no good
clocksource_change_rating is called. Which needs the clocksource_mutex
and the deadlock is complete.

The solution is to replace the TSC via the clocksource watchdog
mechanism. Mark the TSC as unstable and schedule the watchdog work so
it gets removed in the watchdog thread context.

468de9e54a nfsd41: expand solo sequence check
Compounds consisting of only a sequence operation don't need any
additional caching beyond the sequence information we store in the slot
entry.  Fix nfsd4_is_solo_sequence to identify this case correctly.

The additional check for a failed sequence in nfsd4_store_cache_entry()
is redundant, since the nfsd4_is_solo_sequence call lower down catches
this case.

The final ce_cachethis set in nfsd4_sequence is also redundant.

0dd7b74787 tracing: Fix double CPP substitution in TRACE_EVENT_FN
TRACE_EVENT_FN relays on TRACE_EVENT by reprocessing its parameters
into the ftrace events CPP macro. This leads to a double substitution
in some cases.

For example, a bad consequence is a format always prefixed by
"%s, %s\n" for every TRACE_EVENT_FN based events.

Eg:
	cat /debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter/format
	[...]
	print fmt: "%s, %s\n", "\"NR %ld (%lx, %lx, %lx, %lx, %lx, %lx)\"",\
	"REC->id, REC->args[0], REC->args[1], REC->args[2], REC->args[3],\
	REC->args[4], REC->args[5]"

This creates a failure in post-processing tools such as perf trace or
trace-cmd.

Then drop this double substitution and replace it by a new __cpparg()
macro that relays CPP arguments containing commas.

a5fe1a03f7 ACPICA: fix leak of acpi_os_validate_address
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13620

If the dynamic region is created and added to resource list over and over again,
it has the potential to be a memory leak by growing the list every time.

This patch fixes the memory leak, as below

1) add a new field "count" to struct acpi_res_list.

   When inserting, if the region(addr, len) is already in the resource
   list, we just increase "count", otherwise, the region is inserted
   with count=1.

   When deleting, the "count" is decreased, if it's decreased to 0,
   the region is deleted from the resource list.

   With "count", the region with same address and length can only be
   inserted to the resource list once, so prevent potential memory leak.

2) add a new function acpi_os_invalidate_address, which is called when
   region is deleted.

6c347d43ee tracing: Undef TRACE_EVENT_FN between trace events headers inclusion
The recent commit:

	tracing/events: fix the include file dependencies

fixed a file dependency problem while including more than
one trace event header file.

This fix undefined TRACE_EVENT after an event header macro
preprocessing in order to make tracepoint.h able to correctly declare
the tracepoints necessary for the next event header file.

But now we also need to undefine TRACE_EVENT_FN at the end of an event
header file preprocessing for the same reason.

This fixes the following build error:

a6186d89c9 kmemleak: Mark the early log buffer as __initdata
This buffer isn't needed after kmemleak was initialised so it can be
freed together with the .init.data section. This patch also marks
functions conditionally accessing the early log variables with __ref.

2a908002c7 ACPI processor: force throttling state when BIOS returns incorrect value
If the BIOS reports an invalid throttling state (which seems to be
fairly common after system boot), a reset is done to state T0.
Because of a check in acpi_processor_get_throttling_ptc(), the reset
never actually gets executed, which results in the error reoccurring
on every access of for example /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling.

Add a 'force' option to acpi_processor_set_throttling() to ensure
the reset really takes effect.

Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13389

This patch, together with the next one, fixes a regression introduced in
2.6.30, listed on the regression list. They have been available for 2.5
months now in bugzilla, but have not been picked up, despite various
reminders and without any reason given.

Google shows that numerous people are hitting this issue. The issue is in
itself relatively minor, but the bug in the code is clear.

The patches have been in all my kernels and today testing has shown that
throttling works correctly with the patches applied when the system
overheats (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13918#c14).

b62e408c05 flex_array: convert element_nr formals to unsigned
It's problematic to allow signed element_nr's or total's to be passed as
part of the flex array API.

flex_array_alloc() allows total_nr_elements to be set to a negative
quantity, which is obviously erroneous.

flex_array_get() and flex_array_put() allows negative array indices in
dereferencing an array part, which could address memory mapped before
struct flex_array.

The fix is to convert all existing element_nr formals to be qualified as
unsigned.  Existing checks to compare it to total_nr_elements or the max
array size based on element_size need not be changed.

user API has it __u32 which is also the intended type.

Only IA64 was using PG_uncached as of now. We now intend to use this bit
in x86 as well, to keep track of memory type of those addresses that
have page struct for them. So, generalize the use of that bit across
ia64 and x86.

0396c215f3 uwb: avoid radio controller reset loops
If a radio controller reset attempt occurs while a probe() or remove()
is in progress it fails and is retried endlessly, potentially preventing
the probe() or remove() from completing.

If a reset fails, sleep for a bit before retrying the reset.  This
allows the probe()/remove() to complete.
