lock_kiocb() was introduced to serialize retrying and cancellation. In the
process of doing so it tried to sleep waiting for KIF_LOCKED while holding
the ctx_lock spinlock. Recent fixes have ensured that multiple concurrent
retries won't be attempted for a given iocb. Cancel has other problems and
has no significant in-tree users that have been complaining about it. So
for the immediate future we'll revert sleeping with the lock held and will
address proper cancellation and retry serialization in the future.

It seems that all the list_*_rcu primitives are missing a memory barrier
on the very first dereference. For example,
#define list_for_each_rcu(pos, head) \
for (pos = (head)->next; prefetch(pos->next), pos != (head); \
pos = rcu_dereference(pos->next))
It will go something like:
pos = (head)->next
prefetch(pos->next)
pos != (head)
do stuff
We're missing a barrier here.
pos = rcu_dereference(pos->next)
fetch pos->next
barrier given by rcu_dereference(pos->next)
store pos
Without the missing barrier, the pos->next value may turn out to be stale.
In fact, if "do stuff" were also dereferencing pos and relying on
list_for_each_rcu to provide the barrier then it may also break.
So here is a patch to make sure that we have a barrier for the first
element in the list.

... otherwise, things like alpha and sparc64 break and break
badly. They define cpu_possible_map to something else in smp.h
*AFTER* having included cpumask.h.
If that puppy is a macro, expansion will happen at the actual
caller, when we'd already seen #define cpu_possible_map ... and we will
get the right thing used.
As an inline helper it will be tokenized before we get to that
define and that's it; no matter what we define later, it won't affect
anything. We get modules with dependency on cpu_possible_map instead
of the right symbol (phys_cpu_present_map in case of sparc64), or outright

Original patch by Harald Welte, with feedback from Herbert Xu
and testing by Sbastien Bernard.
EBTABLES, ARP tables, and IP/IP6 tables all assume that cpus

that.

Glibc is about to get some new high precision timer stuff that relies on
the standard timebase of the PPC architecture.
However, some (rare & old) CPUs do not have such timebase and it is a
bit annoying to have your stuff just crash because you are running on
the wrong CPU...
This exposes to userland a CPU feature bit that tells that the current
processor doesn't have a standard timebase. It's negative logic so that
glibc will still "just work" on older kernels (it will just be unhappy
on those old CPUs but that doesn't really matter as distro tend to
update glibc & kernel at the same time).

Interestingly enough, ppc32 had broken timekeeping for ages... It
worked, but probably drifted a bit more than could be explained by the
actual bad precision of the timebase calibration. We discovered that
recently when somebody figured out that the common code was using
CLOCK_TICK_RATE to correct the timekeeing, and ppc32 had a completely
bogus value for it.
This patch turns it into something saner. Probably not as good as doing
something based on the actual timebase frequency precision but I'll
leave that sort of math to others. This at least makes it better for
the common HZ values.

As Henrik Nordstrom pointed out, all our efforts with "split endian" (i.e.
host byte order tags, net byte order values) are useless, unless a parser
can determine whether an attribute is nested or not.
This patch steals the highest bit of nfattr.nfa_type to indicate whether
the data payload contains a nested nfattr (1) or not (0).
This will break userspace compatibility, but luckily no kernel with
nfnetlink was released so far.
