272966c070 serial: sh-sci: Reorder the SCxTDR write after the TDxE clear.
Under qemu there is a race between the TDxE read-and-clear and the SCxTDR
write. While on hardware it can be gauranteed that the read-and-clear
will happen prior to the character being written out, no such assumption
can be made under emulation. As this path happens with IRQs off and the
hardware itself doesn't care about the ordering, move the SCxTDR write
until after the read-and-clear.

5d52013cbb sh: __copy_user function can corrupt the stack in case of exception
The __copy_user function can corrupt the stack in the case of a
non-trivial length of data, and either of the first two move instructions
cause an exception. This is because the fixup for these two instructions
is mapped to the no_pop case, but these instructions execute after the
stack is pushed.

This change creates an explicit NO_POP exception mapping macro, and uses
it for the two instructions executed in the trivial case where no stack
pushes occur.

2cd0ebc83d sh: Fixed the TMU0 reload value on resume
This patch fixes the TMU0 interrupt frequency on suspend/resume.
During the resume the kernel reprograms the TMU0.ClockEvent mode
but if the mode is periodic than the TMU0.TCOR is updated with
a random wrong value without taking care latest valid saved value.

There was no problem with No_HZ system where TMU0.TCOR isn't used.

185aed7557 sh: Provide a sane valid_phys_addr_range() to prevent TLB reset with PMB.
With the PMB enabled, only P1SEG and up are covered by the PMB mappings,
meaning that situations where out-of-bounds physical addresses are read
from will lead to TLB reset after the PMB miss, allowing for use cases
like dd if=/dev/mem to reset the TLB.

Fix this up to make sure the reference is between __MEMORY_START (phys)
and __pa(high_memory). This is coherent across all variants of sh/sh64
with and without MMU, though the PMB bug itself is only applicable to
SH-4A parts.

acca4f4d9b sh: Handle fixmap TLB eviction more coherently.
There was a race in the kmap_coherent() implementation. While we
guarded against preemption, there was nothing preventing eviction of
the pre-faulted fixmap entry from the UTLB. Under certain workloads
this would result in the fixmap entries used for cache colouring being
evicted from the UTLB in the midst of a copy_page().

In addition to pre-faulting, we also make sure to preserve the PTEs
in the kernel page table and introduce a cached PTE for kmap_coherent()
usage. This follows a similar change on MIPS ("[MIPS] Fix aliasing bug
in copy_to_user_page / copy_from_user_page").

The "Exclude staging drivers" question is there so that we don't build
staging drivers for allyesconfig or allnoconfig settings, but it's very
irritating when you've already said "no" to staging drivers earlier.

There is absolutely no point in declining twice - once you've declined

b726e923ea Fix nfsd truncation of readdir results
Commit 8d7c4203 "nfsd: fix failure to set eof in readdir in some
situations" introduced a bug: on a directory in an exported ext3
filesystem with dir_index unset, a READDIR will only return about 250
entries, even if the directory was larger.

Bisected it back to this commit; reverting it fixes the problem.

It turns out that in this case ext3 reads a block at a time, then
returns from readdir, which means we can end up with buf.full==0 but
with more entries in the directory still to be read.  Before 8d7c4203
(but after c002a6c797 "Optimise NFS readdir hack slightly"), this would
cause us to return the READDIR result immediately, but with the eof bit
unset.  That could cause a performance regression (because the client
would need more roundtrips to the server to read the whole directory),
but no loss in correctness, since the cleared eof bit caused the client
to send another readdir.  After 8d7c4203, the setting of the eof bit
made this a correctness problem.

So, move nfserr_eof into the loop and remove the buf.full check so that
we loop until buf.used==0.  The following seems to do the right thing
and reduces the network traffic since we don't return a READDIR result
until the buffer is full.

Tested on an empty directory & large directory; eof is properly sent and
there are no more short buffers.

6209344f5a net: unix: fix inflight counting bug in garbage collector
Previously I assumed that the receive queues of candidates don't
change during the GC.  This is only half true, nothing can be received
from the queues (see comment in unix_gc()), but buffers could be added
through the other half of the socket pair, which may still have file
descriptors referring to it.

This can result in inc_inflight_move_tail() erronously increasing the
"inflight" counter for a unix socket for which dec_inflight() wasn't
previously called.  This in turn can trigger the "BUG_ON(total_refs <
inflight_refs)" in a later garbage collection run.

Fix this by only manipulating the "inflight" counter for sockets which
are candidates themselves.  Duplicating the file references in
unix_attach_fds() is also needed to prevent a socket becoming a
candidate for GC while the skb that contains it is not yet queued.

058e3739f6 clarify usage expectations for cnt32_to_63()
Currently, all existing users of cnt32_to_63() are fine since the CPU
architectures where it is used don't do read access reordering, and user
mode preemption is disabled already.  It is nevertheless a good idea to
better elaborate usage requirements wrt preemption, and use an explicit
memory barrier on SMP to avoid different CPUs accessing the counter
value in the wrong order.  On UP a simple compiler barrier is
sufficient.

c5d712433f Fix __pfn_to_page(pfn) for CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=y
Fix the __pfn_to_page(pfn) macro so that it doesn't evaluate its
argument twice in the CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=y case, because 'pfn' may
be a result of a funtion call having side effects.

For example, the hibernation code applies pfn_to_page(pfn) to the
result of a function returning the pfn corresponding to the next set
bit in a bitmap and the current bit position is modified on each
call.  This leads to "interesting" failures for CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=y
due to the current behavior of __pfn_to_page(pfn).

 9761990 total                                      2.8468

this is large part due to the rdtsc_barrier() that is done before

But sched_clock() is not a precise clock in the GTOD sense, using such
barriers is completely pointless. So remove the barriers and only use
them in vget_cycles().

This improves lat_ctx performance by about 5%.

52c642f33b sched: fine-tune SD_SIBLING_INIT
fine-tune the HT sched-domains parameters as well.

On a HT capable box, this increases lat_ctx performance from 23.87
usecs to 1.49 usecs:

 # before

 $ ./lat_ctx -s 0 2

   "size=0k ovr=1.89
    2 23.87

 # after

 $ ./lat_ctx -s 0 2

   "size=0k ovr=1.84
     2 1.49

1480098470 sched: fine-tune SD_MC_INIT
Tune SD_MC_INIT the same way as SD_CPU_INIT:
unset SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE, and set SD_WAKE_BALANCE.

This improves vmark by 5%:

23712a9c28 ext4: add checksum calculation when clearing UNINIT flag in ext4_new_inode
When initializing an uninitialized block group in ext4_new_inode(),
its block group checksum must be re-calculated.  This fixes a race
when several threads try to allocate a new inode in an UNINIT'd group.

There is some question whether we need to be initializing the block
bitmap in ext4_new_inode() at all, but for now, if we are going to
init the block group, let's eliminate the race.

ed9b3e3379 ext4: Mark the buffer_heads as dirty and uptodate after prepare_write
We need to make sure we mark the buffer_heads as dirty and uptodate
so that block_write_full_page write them correctly.

This fixes mmap corruptions that can occur in low memory situations.
