ESR.WnR bit is always set on data cache maintenance faults even though
the page is not required to have write permission. If a translation
fault (page not yet mapped) happens for read-only user address range,
Linux incorrectly assumes a permission fault. This patch adds the check
of the ESR.CM bit during the page fault handling to ignore the 'write'
flag.

Commit 90556ca1 ("arm64: vexpress: Add dts files for the ARMv8 RTSM
models") added foundation-v8.dts, but erroneously set
/cpus/#address-cells = <1> while providing two cells in each cpus/cpu@N
node's reg property.
As of commit ea393a2e ("arm64: smp: honour #address-size when parsing
CPU reg property") we read in as many address cells as specified rather
than always reading two. This means that for foundation-v8.dts, we only
read the first reg cell (zero) for each cpu node, and receive a lot of
warnings at boot of the form "/cpus/cpu@1: duplicate cpu reg properties
in the DT".
This patch corrects foundation-v8.dts to have the correct value for
/cpus/#address-cells.

This is a revised patch based on Mengdong Lin's fix patch, which is a
supplement to a previous patch [1611a9c9: ALSA: hda - Add fixup for
Haswell to enable all pin and convertor widgets].
Some Haswell BIOS will disable the 2nd and 3rd pin/covertor widgets
when the HD-A controller changes state from D3 to D0. So when the
controller resumes after a system or runtime suspend, these widgets
are disabled and programming these widgets to D0 will cause H/W error
and codec will not respond.
In addition, we found out that some BIOS disables the pins at S3
although it shows up at boot. This confuses the driver utterly, and
the hardware falls into the fatal communication error like the above.
So in this patch, we apply intel_haswell_enable_all_pins() not only as
a fixup to a certain device (with 8086:2010) but to all Haswell
machines. The codec driver basically assumes that all pins are
exposed, so it's anyway better to see them from the beginning. Even
if all pins and converters are shown by this call, there should be no
regression in practice: the pin default configurations are still kept,
thus the disabled pins are handled as disabled by the driver
properly.

Merge more incoming from Andrew Morton:
- Various fixes which were stalled or which I picked up recently
- A large rotorooting of the AIO code. Allegedly to improve
performance but I don't really have good performance numbers (I might
have lost the email) and I can't raise Kent today. I held this out
of 3.9 and we could give it another cycle if it's all too late/scary.
I ended up taking only the first two thirds of the AIO rotorooting. I
left the percpu parts and the batch completion for later. - Linus

Thanks to Zach Brown's work to rip out the retry infrastructure, we don't
need this anymore - ki_retry was only called right after the kiocb was
initialized.
This also refactors and trims some duplicated code, as well as cleaning up
the refcounting/error handling a bit.

Jiri reported a regression in auditing of open(..., O_CREAT) syscalls.
In older kernels, creating a file with open(..., O_CREAT) created
audit_name records that looked like this:
type=PATH msg=audit(1360255720.628:64): item=1 name="/abc/foo" inode=138810 dev=fd:00 mode=0100640 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0
type=PATH msg=audit(1360255720.628:64): item=0 name="/abc/" inode=138635 dev=fd:00 mode=040750 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0
...in recent kernels though, they look like this:
type=PATH msg=audit(1360255402.886:12574): item=2 name=(null) inode=264599 dev=fd:00 mode=0100640 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0
type=PATH msg=audit(1360255402.886:12574): item=1 name=(null) inode=264598 dev=fd:00 mode=040750 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0
type=PATH msg=audit(1360255402.886:12574): item=0 name="/abc/foo" inode=264598 dev=fd:00 mode=040750 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0
Richard bisected to determine that the problems started with commit
bfcec708, but the log messages have changed with some later
audit-related patches.
The problem is that this audit_inode call is passing in the parent of
the dentry being opened, but audit_inode is being called with the parent
flag false. This causes later audit_inode and audit_inode_child calls to
match the wrong entry in the audit_names list.
This patch simply sets the flag to properly indicate that this inode
represents the parent. With this, the audit_names entries are back to
looking like they did before.

audit rule additions containing "-F auid!=4294967295" were failing
with EINVAL because of a regression caused by e1760bd.
Apparently some userland audit rule sets want to know if loginuid uid
has been set and are using a test for auid != 4294967295 to determine
that.
In practice that is a horrible way to ask if a value has been set,
because it relies on subtle implementation details and will break
every time the uid implementation in the kernel changes.
So add a clean way to test if the audit loginuid has been set, and
silently convert the old idiom to the cleaner and more comprehensible
new idiom.

- Note that this file is statically linked with the rest of the host kernel (KSEG0). This is because kernel modules are
loaded into mapped space on MIPS and we want to make sure that we don't get any host kernel TLB faults while
manipulating TLBs.
- Virtual Guest TLBs are implemented as 64 entry array regardless of the number of host TLB entries.
- Shadow TLBs map Guest virtual addresses to Host physical addresses.
- TLB miss handling details:
Guest KSEG0 TLBMISS (0x40000000 – 0x60000000): Transparent to the Guest.
Guest KSEG2/3 (0x60000000 – 0x80000000) & Guest UM TLBMISS (0x00000000 – 0x40000000)
Lookup in Guest/Virtual TLB
If an entry doesn’t match
deliver appropriate TLBMISS LD/ST exception to the guest
If entry does exist in the Guest TLB and is NOT Valid
Deliver TLB invalid exception to the guest
If entry does exist in the Guest TLB and is VALID
Inject the TLB entry into the Shadow TLB

struct aio_ring_info was kind of odd, the only place it's used is where
it's embedded in struct kioctx - there's no real need for it.
The next patch rearranges struct kioctx and puts various things on their
own cachelines - getting rid of struct aio_ring_info now makes that
reordering a bit clearer.

Previously, allocating a kiocb required touching quite a few global
(well, per kioctx) cachelines... so batching up allocation to amortize
those was worthwhile. But we've gotten rid of some of those, and in
another couple of patches kiocb allocation won't require writing to any
shared cachelines, so that means we can just rip this code out.

The aio code tries really hard to avoid having to deal with the
completion ringbuffer overflowing. To do that, it has to keep track of
the number of outstanding kiocbs, and the number of completions
currently in the ringbuffer - and it's got to check that every time we
allocate a kiocb. Ouch.
But - we can improve this quite a bit if we just change reqs_active to
mean "number of outstanding requests and unreaped completions" - that
means kiocb allocation doesn't have to look at the ringbuffer, which is
a fairly significant win.

Cancelling kiocbs requires adding them to a per kioctx linked list,
which is one of the few things we need to take the kioctx lock for in
the fast path. But most kiocbs can't be cancelled - so if we just do
this lazily, we can avoid quite a bit of locking overhead.
While we're at it, instead of using a flag bit switch to using ki_cancel
itself to indicate that a kiocb has been cancelled/completed. This lets
us get rid of ki_flags entirely.

Previously, aio_read_event() pulled a single completion off the
ringbuffer at a time, locking and unlocking each time. Change it to
pull off as many events as it can at a time, and copy them directly to
userspace.
This also fixes a bug where if copying the event to userspace failed,
we'd lose the event.
Also convert it to wait_event_interruptible_hrtimeout(), which
simplifies it quite a bit.

Analagous to wait_event_timeout() and friends, this adds
wait_event_hrtimeout() and wait_event_interruptible_hrtimeout().
Note that unlike the versions that use regular timers, these don't
return the amount of time remaining when they return - instead, they
return 0 or -ETIME if they timed out. because I was uncomfortable with
the semantics of doing it the other way (that I could get it right,
anyways).
If the timer expires, there's no real guarantee that expire_time -
current_time would be <= 0 - due to timer slack certainly, and I'm not
sure I want to know the implications of the different clock bases in
hrtimers.
If the timer does expire and the code calculates that the time remaining
is nonnegative, that could be even worse if the calling code then reuses
that timeout. Probably safer to just return 0 then, but I could imagine
weird bugs or at least unintended behaviour arising from that too.
I came to the conclusion that if other users end up actually needing the
amount of time remaining, the sanest thing to do would be to create a
version that uses absolute timeouts instead of relative.

The usage of ctx->dead was fubar - it makes no sense to explicitly check
it all over the place, especially when we're already using RCU.
Now, ctx->dead only indicates whether we've dropped the initial
refcount. The new teardown sequence is:
set ctx->dead
hlist_del_rcu();
synchronize_rcu();
Now we know no system calls can take a new ref, and it's safe to drop
the initial ref:
put_ioctx();
We also need to ensure there are no more outstanding kiocbs. This was
done incorrectly - it was being done in kill_ctx(), and before dropping
the initial refcount. At this point, other syscalls may still be
submitting kiocbs!
Now, we cancel and wait for outstanding kiocbs in free_ioctx(), after
kioctx->users has dropped to 0 and we know no more iocbs could be
submitted.

Freeing a kiocb needed to touch the kioctx for three things:
* Pull it off the reqs_active list
* Decrementing reqs_active
* Issuing a wakeup, if the kioctx was in the process of being freed.
This patch moves these to aio_complete(), for a couple reasons:
* aio_complete() already has to issue the wakeup, so if we drop the
kioctx refcount before aio_complete does its wakeup we don't have to
do it twice.
* aio_complete currently has to take the kioctx lock, so it makes sense
for it to pull the kiocb off the reqs_active list too.
* A later patch is going to change reqs_active to include unreaped
completions - this will mean allocating a kiocb doesn't have to look
at the ringbuffer. So taking the decrement of reqs_active out of
kiocb_free() is useful prep work for that patch.
This doesn't really affect cancellation, since existing (usb) code that
implements a cancel function still calls aio_complete() - we just have
to make sure that aio_complete does the necessary teardown for cancelled
kiocbs.
It does affect code paths where we free kiocbs that were never
submitted; they need to decrement reqs_active and pull the kiocb off the
reqs_active list. This occurs in two places: kiocb_batch_free(), which
is going away in a later patch, and the error path in io_submit_one.

aio_get_req() will fail if we have the maximum number of requests
outstanding, which depending on the application may not be uncommon. So
avoid doing an unnecessary fget().

Nothing used the return value, and it probably wasn't possible to use it
safely for the locked versions (aio_complete(), aio_put_req()). Just
kill it.

This removes the retry-based AIO infrastructure now that nothing in tree
is using it.
We want to remove retry-based AIO because it is fundemantally unsafe.
It retries IO submission from a kernel thread that has only assumed the
mm of the submitting task. All other task_struct references in the IO
submission path will see the kernel thread, not the submitting task.
This design flaw means that nothing of any meaningful complexity can use
retry-based AIO.
This removes all the code and data associated with the retry machinery.
The most significant benefit of this is the removal of the locking
around the unused run list in the submission path.

This removes the only in-tree user of aio retry. This will let us
remove the retry code from the aio core.
Removing retry is relatively easy as the USB gadget wasn't using it to
retry IOs at all. It always fully submitted the IO in the context of
the initial io_submit() call. It only used the AIO retry facility to
get the submitter's mm context for copying the result of a read back to
user space. This is easy to implement with use_mm() and a work struct,
much like kvm does with async_pf_execute() for get_user_pages().

Bunch of performance improvements and cleanups Zach Brown and I have
been working on. The code should be pretty solid at this point, though
it could of course use more review and testing.
The results in my testing are pretty impressive, particularly when an
ioctx is being shared between multiple threads. In my crappy synthetic
benchmark, with 4 threads submitting and one thread reaping completions,
I saw overhead in the aio code go from ~50% (mostly ioctx lock
contention) to low single digits. Performance with ioctx per thread
improved too, but I'd have to rerun those benchmarks.
The reason I've been focused on performance when the ioctx is shared is
that for a fair number of real world completions, userspace needs the
completions aggregated somehow - in practice people just end up
implementing this aggregation in userspace today, but if it's done right
we can do it much more efficiently in the kernel.
Performance wise, the end result of this patch series is that submitting
a kiocb writes to _no_ shared cachelines - the penalty for sharing an
ioctx is gone there. There's still going to be some cacheline
contention when we deliver the completions to the aio ringbuffer (at
least if you have interrupts being delivered on multiple cores, which
for high end stuff you do) but I have a couple more patches not in this
series that implement coalescing for that (by taking advantage of
interrupt coalescing). With that, there's basically no bottlenecks or
performance issues to speak of in the aio code.
This patch:
use_mm() is used in more places than just aio. There's no need to mention
callers when describing the function.
