The module parameters blimit, qhimark, and qlomark (and more
recently, rcu_fanout_leaf) have permission masks of zero, so
that their values are not visible from sysfs. This is unnecessary
and inconvenient to administrators who might like an easy way to
see what these values are on a running system. This commit therefore
sets their permission masks to 0444, allowing them to be read but
not written.

Although almost everyone is well-served by the defaults, some uses of RCU
benefit from shorter grace periods, while others benefit more from the
greater efficiency provided by longer grace periods. Situations requiring
a large number of grace periods to elapse (and wireshark startup has
been called out as an example of this) are helped by lower-latency
grace periods. Furthermore, in some embedded applications, people are
willing to accept a small degradation in update efficiency (due to there
being more of the shorter grace-period operations) in order to gain the
lower latency.
In contrast, those few systems with thousands of CPUs need longer grace
periods because the CPU overhead of a grace period rises roughly
linearly with the number of CPUs. Such systems normally do not make
much use of facilities that require large numbers of grace periods to
elapse, so this is a good tradeoff.
Therefore, this commit allows the durations to be controlled from sysfs.
There are two sysfs parameters, one named "jiffies_till_first_fqs" that
specifies the delay in jiffies from the end of grace-period initialization
until the first attempt to force quiescent states, and the other named
"jiffies_till_next_fqs" that specifies the delay (again in jiffies)
between subsequent attempts to force quiescent states. They both default
to three jiffies, which is compatible with the old hard-coded behavior.
At some future time, it may be possible to automatically increase the
grace-period length with the number of CPUs, but we do not yet have
sufficient data to do a good job. Preliminary data indicates that we
should add an addiitonal jiffy to each of the delays for every 200 CPUs
in the system, but more experimentation is needed. For now, the number
of systems with more than 1,000 CPUs is small enough that this can be
relegated to boot-time hand tuning.

Large systems running RCU_FAST_NO_HZ kernels see extreme memory
contention on the rcu_state structure's ->fqslock field. This
can be avoided by disabling RCU_FAST_NO_HZ, either at compile time
or at boot time (via the nohz kernel boot parameter), but large
systems will no doubt become sensitive to energy consumption.
This commit therefore uses a combining-tree approach to spread the
memory contention across new cache lines in the leaf rcu_node structures.
This can be thought of as a tournament lock that has only a try-lock
acquisition primitive.
The effect on small systems is minimal, because such systems have
an rcu_node "tree" consisting of a single node. In addition, this
functionality is not used on fastpaths.

In kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y, CPUs can accumulate a
large number of lazy callbacks, which as the name implies will be slow
to be invoked. This can be a problem on small-memory systems, where the
default 6-second sleep for CPUs having only lazy RCU callbacks could well
be fatal. This commit therefore installs an OOM hander that ensures that
every CPU with lazy callbacks has at least one non-lazy callback, in turn
ensuring timely advancement for these callbacks.
Updated to fix bug that disabled OOM killing, noted by Lai Jiangshan.
Updated to push the for_each_rcu_flavor() loop into rcu_oom_notify_cpu(),
thus reducing the number of IPIs, as suggested by Steven Rostedt. Also

Earlier versions of RCU invoked the RCU core from the CPU_DYING notifier
in order to note a quiescent state for the outgoing CPU. Because the
CPU is marked "offline" during the execution of the CPU_DYING notifiers,
the RCU core had to tolerate being invoked from an offline CPU. However,
commit b1420f1c (Make rcu_barrier() less disruptive) left only tracing
code in the CPU_DYING notifier, so the RCU core need no longer execute
on offline CPUs. This commit therefore enforces this restriction.

The next step in reducing RCU's grace-period initialization latency on
large systems will make this initialization preemptible. Unfortunately,
making the grace-period initialization subject to interrupts (let alone
preemption) exposes the following race on systems whose rcu_node tree
contains more than one node:
1. CPU 31 starts initializing the grace period, including the
first leaf rcu_node structures, and is then preempted.
2. CPU 0 refers to the first leaf rcu_node structure, and notes
that a new grace period has started. It passes through a
quiescent state shortly thereafter, and informs the RCU core
of this rite of passage.
3. CPU 0 enters an RCU read-side critical section, acquiring
a pointer to an RCU-protected data item.
4. CPU 31 takes an interrupt whose handler removes the data item
referenced by CPU 0 from the data structure, and registers an
RCU callback in order to free it.
5. CPU 31 resumes initializing the grace period, including its
own rcu_node structure. In invokes rcu_start_gp_per_cpu(),
which advances all callbacks, including the one registered
in #4 above, to be handled by the current grace period.
6. The remaining CPUs pass through quiescent states and inform
the RCU core, but CPU 0 remains in its RCU read-side critical
section, still referencing the now-removed data item.
7. The grace period completes and all the callbacks are invoked,
including the one that frees the data item that CPU 0 is still
referencing. Oops!!!
One way to avoid this race is to remove grace-period acceleration from
rcu_start_gp_per_cpu(). Now, the only reason for this acceleration was
to allow CPUs bringing RCU out of idle state to have their callbacks
invoked after only one grace period, rather than the two grace periods
that would otherwise be required. But this acceleration does not
work when RCU grace-period initialization is moved to a kthread because
the CPU posting the callback is no longer necessarily the CPU that is
initializing the resulting grace period.
This commit therefore removes this now-pointless (and soon to be dangerous)
grace-period acceleration, thus avoiding the above race.

Each grace period is supposed to have at least one callback waiting
for that grace period to complete. However, if CONFIG_NO_HZ=n, an
extra callback-free grace period is no big problem -- it will chew up
a tiny bit of CPU time, but it will complete normally. In contrast,
CONFIG_NO_HZ=y kernels have the potential for all the CPUs to go to
sleep indefinitely, in turn indefinitely delaying completion of the
callback-free grace period. Given that nothing is waiting on this grace
period, this is also not a problem.
That is, unless RCU CPU stall warnings are also enabled, as they are
in recent kernels. In this case, if a CPU wakes up after at least one
minute of inactivity, an RCU CPU stall warning will result. The reason
that no one noticed until quite recently is that most systems have enough
OS noise that they will never remain absolutely idle for a full minute.
But there are some embedded systems with cut-down userspace configurations
that consistently get into this situation.
All this begs the question of exactly how a callback-free grace period
gets started in the first place. This can happen due to the fact that
CPUs do not necessarily agree on which grace period is in progress.
If a CPU still believes that the grace period that just completed is
still ongoing, it will believe that it has callbacks that need to wait for
another grace period, never mind the fact that the grace period that they
were waiting for just completed. This CPU can therefore erroneously
decide to start a new grace period. Note that this can happen in
TREE_RCU and TREE_PREEMPT_RCU even on a single-CPU system: Deadlock
considerations mean that the CPU that detected the end of the grace
period is not necessarily officially informed of this fact for some time.
Once this CPU notices that the earlier grace period completed, it will
invoke its callbacks. It then won't have any callbacks left. If no
other CPU has any callbacks, we now have a callback-free grace period.
This commit therefore makes CPUs check more carefully before starting a
new grace period. This new check relies on an array of tail pointers
into each CPU's list of callbacks. If the CPU is up to date on which
grace periods have completed, it checks to see if any callbacks follow
the RCU_DONE_TAIL segment, otherwise it checks to see if any callbacks
follow the RCU_WAIT_TAIL segment. The reason that this works is that
the RCU_WAIT_TAIL segment will be promoted to the RCU_DONE_TAIL segment
as soon as the CPU is officially notified that the old grace period
has ended.
This change is to cpu_needs_another_gp(), which is called in a number
of places. The only one that really matters is in rcu_start_gp(), where
the root rcu_node structure's ->lock is held, which prevents any
other CPU from starting or completing a grace period, so that the
comparison that determines whether the CPU is missing the completion
of a grace period is stable.

normally we deal with lock_mount()/umount races by checking that
mountpoint to be is still in our namespace after lock_mount() has
been done. However, do_add_mount() skips that check when called
with MNT_SHRINKABLE in flags (i.e. from finish_automount()). The
reason is that ->mnt_ns may be a temporary namespace created exactly
to contain automounts a-la NFS4 referral handling. It's not the
namespace of the caller, though, so check_mnt() would fail here.
We still need to check that ->mnt_ns is non-NULL in that case,
though.

In case of error, function module_alloc() in other platform never
returns ERR_PTR(), and all of the user only check for NULL, so
we'd better return NULL instead of ERR_PTR().

Pull Xen bug-fixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
- Fix M2P batching re-using the incorrect structure field.
In v3.5 we added batching for M2P override (Machine Frame Number ->
Physical Frame Number), but the original MFN was saved in an
incorrect structure - and we would oops/restore when restoring with
the old MFN.
- Disable BIOS SMP MP table search.
A bootup issue that we had ignored until we found that on DL380 G6 it
was needed.

This patch fixes an issue introduced by commit ID 6a81c26f
[net/stmmac: remove conditional compilation of clk code], which
switched from the internal stmmac_clk_{en}{dis}able calls to
clk_{en}{dis}able. By this, calling clk_prepare and clk_unprepare
was removed.
clk_{un}prepare is mandatory for platforms using common clock framework.
Since these drivers are used by SPEAr platform, which supports common
clock framework, add clk_{un}prepare() support for them. Otherwise
the clocks are not correctly en-/disabled and ethernet support doesn't
work.

The format_array_alloc() function is fundamentally racy, in that it
prints the array twice: once to figure out how much space to allocate
for the buffer, and the second time to actually print out the data.
If any of the array contents changes in between, the allocation size may
be wrong, and the end result may be truncated in odd ways.
Just don't do it. Allocate a maximum-sized array up-front, and just
format the array contents once. The only user of the u32_array
interfaces is the Xen spinlock statistics code, and it has 31 entries in
the arrays, so the maximum size really isn't that big, and the end
result is much simpler code without the bug.
