vmscan: fix a livelock in kswapd

I'm running a workload which triggers a lot of swap in a machine with 4
nodes. After I kill the workload, I found a kswapd livelock. Sometimes
kswapd3 or kswapd2 are keeping running and I can't access filesystem,
but most memory is free.

This looks like a regression since commit 08951e545918c159 ("mm: vmscan:
correct check for kswapd sleeping in sleeping_prematurely").

Node 2 and 3 have only ZONE_NORMAL, but balance_pgdat() will return 0
for classzone_idx. The reason is end_zone in balance_pgdat() is 0 by
default, if all zones have watermark ok, end_zone will keep 0.

Later sleeping_prematurely() always returns true. Because this is an
order 3 wakeup, and if classzone_idx is 0, both balanced_pages and
present_pages in pgdat_balanced() are 0. We add a special case here.
If a zone has no page, we think it's balanced. This fixes the livelock.

fs/libfs.c: fix simple_attr_write() on 32bit machines

Assume that /sys/kernel/debug/dummy64 is debugfs file created by
debugfs_create_x64().

# cd /sys/kernel/debug
# echo 0x1234567812345678 > dummy64
# cat dummy64
0x0000000012345678

# echo 0x80000000 > dummy64
# cat dummy64
0xffffffff80000000

A value larger than INT_MAX cannot be written to the debugfs file created
by debugfs_create_u64 or debugfs_create_x64 on 32bit machine. Because
simple_attr_write() uses simple_strtol() for the conversion.

To fix this, use simple_strtoll() instead.

rcu: Streamline code produced by __rcu_read_unlock()

Given some common flag combinations, particularly -Os, gcc will inline
rcu_read_unlock_special() despite its being in an unlikely() clause.
Use noinline to prohibit this misoptimization.

In addition, move the second barrier() in __rcu_read_unlock() so that
it is not on the common-case code path. This will allow the compiler to
generate better code for the common-case path through __rcu_read_unlock().

rcu: Fix RCU_BOOST race handling current->rcu_read_unlock_special

The RCU_BOOST commits for TREE_PREEMPT_RCU introduced an other-task
write to a new RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BOOSTED bit in the task_struct structure's
->rcu_read_unlock_special field, but, as noted by Steven Rostedt, without
correctly synchronizing all accesses to ->rcu_read_unlock_special.
This could result in bits in ->rcu_read_unlock_special being spuriously
set and cleared due to conflicting accesses, which in turn could result
in deadlocks between the rcu_node structure's ->lock and the scheduler's
rq and pi locks. These deadlocks would result from RCU incorrectly
believing that the just-ended RCU read-side critical section had been
preempted and/or boosted. If that RCU read-side critical section was
executed with either rq or pi locks held, RCU's ensuing (incorrect)
calls to the scheduler would cause the scheduler to attempt to once
again acquire the rq and pi locks, resulting in deadlock. More complex
deadlock cycles are also possible, involving multiple rq and pi locks
as well as locks from multiple rcu_node structures.

This commit fixes synchronization by creating ->rcu_boosted field in
task_struct that is accessed and modified only when holding the ->lock
in the rcu_node structure on which the task is queued (on that rcu_node
structure's ->blkd_tasks list). This results in tasks accessing only
their own current->rcu_read_unlock_special fields, making unsynchronized
access once again legal, and keeping the rcu_read_unlock() fastpath free
of atomic instructions and memory barriers.

The reason that the rcu_read_unlock() fastpath does not need to access
the new current->rcu_boosted field is that this new field cannot
be non-zero unless the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit is set in the
current->rcu_read_unlock_special field. Therefore, rcu_read_unlock()
need only test current->rcu_read_unlock_special: if that is zero, then
current->rcu_boosted must also be zero.

This bug does not affect TINY_PREEMPT_RCU because this implementation
of RCU accesses current->rcu_read_unlock_special with irqs disabled,
thus preventing races on the !SMP systems that TINY_PREEMPT_RCU runs on.

rcu: decrease rcu_report_exp_rnp coupling with scheduler

PREEMPT_RCU read-side critical sections blocking an expedited grace
period invoke rcu_report_exp_rnp(). When the last such critical section
has completed, rcu_report_exp_rnp() invokes the scheduler to wake up the
task that invoked synchronize_rcu_expedited() -- needlessly holding the
root rcu_node structure's lock while doing so, thus needlessly providing
a way for RCU and the scheduler to deadlock.

This commit therefore releases the root rcu_node structure's lock before
calling wake_up().

ARM: 6999/1: head, zImage: Always Enter the kernel in ARM state

Currently, the documented kernel entry requirements are not
explicit about whether the kernel should be entered in ARM or
Thumb, leading to an ambiguitity about how to enter Thumb-2
kernels. As a result, the kernel is reliant on the zImage
decompressor to enter the kernel proper in the correct instruction
set state.

This patch changes the boot entry protocol for head.S and Image to
be the same as for zImage: in all cases, the kernel is now entered
in ARM.

Documentation/arm/Booting is updated to reflect this new policy.

A different rule will be needed for Cortex-M class CPUs as and when
support for those lands in mainline, since these CPUs don't support
the ARM instruction set at all: a note is added to the effect that
the kernel must be entered in Thumb on such systems.

ARM: btc: avoid invalidating the branch target cache on kernel TLB maintanence

Kernel space needs very little in the way of BTC maintanence as most
mappings which are created and destroyed are non-executable, and so
could never enter the instruction stream.

The case which does warrant BTC maintanence is when a module is loaded.
This creates a new executable mapping, but at that point the pages have
not been initialized with code and data, so at that point they contain
unpredictable information. Invalidating the BTC at this stage serves
little useful purpose.

Before we execute module code, we call flush_icache_range(), which deals
with the BTC maintanence requirements. This ensures that we have a BTC
maintanence operation before we execute code via the newly created
mapping.

Add ARM cpu topology definition

(Patch accepted by Russell for 3.1:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg131273.html)

The affinity between ARM processors is defined in the MPIDR register.
We can identify which processors are in the same cluster,
and which ones have performance interdependency. We can define the
cpu topology of ARM platform, that is then used by sched_mc and sched_smt.

The default state of sched_mc and sched_smt config is disable.
When enabled, the behavior of the scheduler can be modified with
sched_mc_power_savings and sched_smt_power_savings sysfs interfaces.

Changes since v4 :
* Remove unnecessary parentheses and blank lines

Changes since v3 :
* Update the format of printk message
* Remove blank line

Changes since v2 :
* Update the commit message and some comments

Changes since v1 :
* Update the commit message
* Add read_cpuid_mpidr in arch/arm/include/asm/cputype.h
* Modify header of arch/arm/kernel/topology.c

irq: add irq_domain translation infrastructure

This patch adds irq_domain infrastructure for translating from
hardware irq numbers to linux irqs. This is particularly important
for architectures adding device tree support because the current
implementation (excluding PowerPC and SPARC) cannot handle
translation for more than a single interrupt controller. irq_domain
supports device tree translation for any number of interrupt
controllers.

This patch converts x86, Microblaze, ARM and MIPS to use irq_domain
for device tree irq translation. x86 is untested beyond compiling it,
irq_domain is enabled for MIPS and Microblaze, but the old behaviour is
preserved until the core code is modified to actually register an
irq_domain yet. On ARM it works and is required for much of the new
ARM device tree board support.

PowerPC has /not/ been converted to use this new infrastructure. It
is still missing some features before it can replace the virq
infrastructure already in powerpc (see documentation on
irq_domain_map/unmap for details). Followup patches will add the
missing pieces and migrate PowerPC to use irq_domain.

SPARC has its own method of managing interrupts from the device tree
and is unaffected by this change.

drm/i915: Fix unfenced alignment on pre-G33 hardware

Align unfenced buffers on older hardware to the power-of-two object
size. The docs suggest that it should be possible to align only to a
power-of-two tile height, but using the already computed fence size is
easier and always correct. We also have to make sure that we unbind
misaligned buffers upon tiling changes.

In order to prevent a repetition of this bug, we change the interface
to the alignment computation routines to force the caller to provide
the requested alignment and size of the GTT binding rather than assume
the current values on the object.
