Pull timer type cleanups from Thomas Gleixner: "This series does a tree wide cleanup of types related to timers/timekeeping. - Get rid of cycles_t and use a plain u64. The type is not really helpful and caused more confusion than clarity - Get rid of the ktime union. The union has become useless as we use the scalar nanoseconds storage unconditionally now. The 32bit timespec alike storage got removed due to the Y2038 limitations some time ago. That leaves the odd union access around for no reason. Clean it up. Both changes have been done with coccinelle and a small amount of manual mopping up" * 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: ktime: Get rid of ktime_equal() ktime: Cleanup ktime_set() usage ktime: Get rid of the union clocksource: Use a plain u64 instead of cycle_t

Pull SMP hotplug notifier removal from Thomas Gleixner: "This is the final cleanup of the hotplug notifier infrastructure. The series has been reintgrated in the last two days because there came a new driver using the old infrastructure via the SCSI tree. Summary: - convert the last leftover drivers utilizing notifiers - fixup for a completely broken hotplug user - prevent setup of already used states - removal of the notifiers - treewide cleanup of hotplug state names - consolidation of state space There is a sphinx based documentation pending, but that needs review from the documentation folks" * 'smp-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: irqchip/armada-xp: Consolidate hotplug state space irqchip/gic: Consolidate hotplug state space coresight/etm3/4x: Consolidate hotplug state space cpu/hotplug: Cleanup state names cpu/hotplug: Remove obsolete cpu hotplug register/unregister functions staging/lustre/libcfs: Convert to hotplug state machine scsi/bnx2i: Convert to hotplug state machine scsi/bnx2fc: Convert to hotplug state machine cpu/hotplug: Prevent overwriting of callbacks x86/msr: Remove bogus cleanup from the error path bus: arm-ccn: Prevent hotplug callback leak perf/x86/intel/cstate: Prevent hotplug callback leak ARM/imx/mmcd: Fix broken cpu hotplug handling scsi: qedi: Convert to hotplug state machine

clocksource: Use a plain u64 instead of cycle_t

2016-12-25T10:04:12+00:00

There is no point in having an extra type for extra confusion. u64 is unambiguous. Conversion was done with the following coccinelle script: @rem@ @@ -typedef u64 cycle_t; @fix@ typedef cycle_t; @@ -cycle_t +u64 Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: John Stultz

cpu/hotplug: Cleanup state names

2016-12-25T09:47:44+00:00

When the state names got added a script was used to add the extra argument to the calls. The script basically converted the state constant to a string, but the cleanup to convert these strings into meaningful ones did not happen. Replace all the useless strings with 'subsys/xxx/yyy:state' strings which are used in all the other places already.

Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)

2016-12-15T01:25:18+00:00

Merge more updates from Andrew Morton: - a few misc things - kexec updates - DMA-mapping updates to better support networking DMA operations - IPC updates - various MM changes to improve DAX fault handling - lots of radix-tree changes, mainly to the test suite. All leading up to reimplementing the IDA/IDR code to be a wrapper layer over the radix-tree. However the final trigger-pulling patch is held off for 4.11. * emailed patches from Andrew Morton : (114 commits) radix tree test suite: delete unused rcupdate.c radix tree test suite: add new tag check radix-tree: ensure counts are initialised radix tree test suite: cache recently freed objects radix tree test suite: add some more functionality idr: reduce the number of bits per level from 8 to 6 rxrpc: abstract away knowledge of IDR internals tpm: use idr_find(), not idr_find_slowpath() idr: add ida_is_empty radix tree test suite: check multiorder iteration radix-tree: fix replacement for multiorder entries radix-tree: add radix_tree_split_preload() radix-tree: add radix_tree_split radix-tree: add radix_tree_join radix-tree: delete radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged() radix-tree: delete radix_tree_locate_item() radix-tree: improve multiorder iterators btrfs: fix race in btrfs_free_dummy_fs_info() radix-tree: improve dump output radix-tree: make radix_tree_find_next_bit more useful ...

arch/blackfin: add option to skip sync on DMA map

2016-12-15T00:04:07+00:00

The use of DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC was not consistent across all of the DMA APIs in the arch/arm folder. This change is meant to correct that so that we get consistent behavior.

ptrace: Don't allow accessing an undumpable mm

2016-11-22T18:57:38+00:00

It is the reasonable expectation that if an executable file is not readable there will be no way for a user without special privileges to read the file. This is enforced in ptrace_attach but if ptrace is already attached before exec there is no enforcement for read-only executables. As the only way to read such an mm is through access_process_vm spin a variant called ptrace_access_vm that will fail if the target process is not being ptraced by the current process, or the current process did not have sufficient privileges when ptracing began to read the target processes mm. In the ptrace implementations replace access_process_vm by ptrace_access_vm. There remain several ptrace sites that still use access_process_vm as they are reading the target executables instructions (for kernel consumption) or register stacks. As such it does not appear necessary to add a permission check to those calls. This bug has always existed in Linux.

mm: replace access_process_vm() write parameter with gup_flags

2016-10-19T15:31:25+00:00

This removes the 'write' argument from access_process_vm() and replaces it with 'gup_flags' as use of this function previously silently implied FOLL_FORCE, whereas after this patch callers explicitly pass this flag. We make this explicit as use of FOLL_FORCE can result in surprising behaviour (and hence bugs) within the mm subsystem.

nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus

2016-10-08T01:46:30+00:00

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN". We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new .cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted PC to see if it lies within that section. This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in the minimal framework for other architectures.
