Pull clock framework update from Michael Turquette:
"The common clock framework changes for 3.9 are almost entirely fixes.
None are dire enough to be Cc'd to stable which may be interpreted to
mean that users of the framework are reaching stability. Lots of new
adoption of this framework is via DeviceTree data and that comes
through the respective architecture and platform trees instead of
through the clk framework tree.
Two new features are improved debugfs output and an improvement to how
DT clocks are initialized by reusing a common method."

Pull pinctrl changes from Linus Walleij:
"These are the main pinctrl changes for the v3.9 merge window. The
most interesting change by far is how the device core grabs pinctrl
default handles avoiding the need to stick boilerplate into driver
consumers.
- Grabbing of default pinctrl handles from the device core. These
are the hunks hitting drivers/base. All is ACKed by Greg, after a
long discussion about different alternatives.
- Some stuff also touches the MFD and ARM SoC trees, this has been
coordinated and ACKed.
- New drivers for:
- The Tegra 114 sub-SoC
- Allwinner sunxi
- New ABx500 driver and sub-SoC drivers for AB8500, AB8505, AB9540
and AB8540.
- Make it possible for hogged pins to enter a sleep mode, and make it
possible for drivers to control that mode.
- Various clean-up, extensions and device tree support to various pin
controllers."

Pull workqueue [delayed_]work_pending() cleanups from Tejun Heo:
"This is part of on-going cleanups to remove / minimize usages of
workqueue interfaces which are deprecated and/or misleading.
This round drops a number of usages of [delayed_]work_pending(), which
are dangerous as they lack any form of synchronization and thus often
lead to buggy / unnecessary code. There are a couple legitimate use
cases in kernel. Hopefully, they can be converted and
[delayed_]work_pending() can be removed completely. Even if not,
removing most of misuses should make it more difficult to find
examples of misuses and thus slow down growth of them.
These changes are independent from other workqueue changes."

Pull x86/apic changes from Ingo Molnar:
"Main changes:
- Multiple MSI support added to the APIC, PCI and AHCI code - acked
by all relevant maintainers, by Alexander Gordeev.
The advantage is that multiple AHCI ports can have multiple MSI
irqs assigned, and can thus spread to multiple CPUs.
[ Drivers can make use of this new facility via the
pci_enable_msi_block_auto() method ]
- x86 IOAPIC code from interrupt remapping cleanups from Joerg
Roedel:
These patches move all interrupt remapping specific checks out of
the x86 core code and replaces the respective call-sites with
function pointers. As a result the interrupt remapping code is
better abstraced from x86 core interrupt handling code.

Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
"There are lots of improvements, the biggest changes are:
Main kernel side changes:
- Improve uprobes performance by adding 'pre-filtering' support, by
Oleg Nesterov.
- Make some POWER7 events available in sysfs, equivalent to what was
done on x86, from Sukadev Bhattiprolu.
- tracing updates by Steve Rostedt - mostly misc fixes and smaller
improvements.
- Use perf/event tracing to report PCI Express advanced errors, by
Tony Luck.
- Enable northbridge performance counters on AMD family 15h, by Jacob
Shin.
- This tracing commit:
tracing: Remove the extra 4 bytes of padding in events
changes the ABI. All involved parties (PowerTop in particular)
seem to agree that it's safe to do now with the introduction of
libtraceevent, but the devil is in the details ...
Main tooling side changes:
- Add 'event group view', from Namyung Kim:
To use it, 'perf record' should group events when recording. And
then perf report parses the saved group relation from file header
and prints them together if --group option is provided. You can
use the 'perf evlist' command to see event group information:
$ perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles}' noploop 1
[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.385 MB perf.data (~16807 samples) ]
$ perf evlist --group
{ref-cycles,cycles}
With this example, default perf report will show you each event
separately.
You can use --group option to enable event group view:
$ perf report --group
...
# group: {ref-cycles,cycles}
# ========
# Samples: 7K of event 'anon group { ref-cycles, cycles }'
# Event count (approx.): 6876107743
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ................ ....... ................. ..........................
99.84% 99.76% noploop noploop [.] main
0.07% 0.00% noploop ld-2.15.so [.] strcmp
0.03% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] timerqueue_del
0.03% 0.03% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_cpu

As you can see the Overhead column now contains both of ref-cycles
and cycles and header line shows group information also - 'anon
group { ref-cycles, cycles }'. The output is sorted by period of
group leader first.
- Initial GTK+ annotate browser, from Namhyung Kim.
- Add option for runtime switching perf data file in perf report,
just press 's' and a menu with the valid files found in the current
directory will be presented, from Feng Tang.
- Add support to display whole group data for raw columns, from Jiri
Olsa.
- Add per processor socket count aggregation in perf stat, from
Stephane Eranian.
- Add interval printing in 'perf stat', from Stephane Eranian.
- 'perf test' improvements
- Add support for wildcards in tracepoint system name, from Jiri
Olsa.
- Add anonymous huge page recognition, from Joshua Zhu.
- perf build-id cache now can show DSOs present in a perf.data file
that are not in the cache, to integrate with build-id servers being
put in place by organizations such as Fedora.
- perf top now shares more of the evsel config/creation routines with
'record', paving the way for further integration like 'top'
snapshots, etc.
- perf top now supports DWARF callchains.
- Fix mmap limitations on 32-bit, fix from David Miller.
- 'perf bench numa mem' NUMA performance measurement suite
- ... and lots of fixes, performance improvements, cleanups and other
improvements I failed to list - see the shortlog and git log for
details."

By just reversing the order memtest is using the test patterns,
an additional round to zero the memory is not necessary.
This might save up to a second or even more for setups which are

On AMD family 15h processors, there are 4 new performance
counters (in addition to 6 core performance counters) that can
be used for counting northbridge events (i.e. DRAM accesses).
Their bit fields are almost identical to the core performance
counters. However, unlike the core performance counters, these
MSRs are shared between multiple cores (that share the same
northbridge).
We will reuse the same code path as existing family 10h
northbridge event constraints handler logic to enforce
this sharing.

There was a serious problem in samsung-laptop that its platform driver is
designed to run under BIOS and running under EFI can cause the machine to
become bricked or can cause Machine Check Exceptions.
Discussion about this problem:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557

Petr says: "
I've analysed the bug and I think that xen_iret() cannot cope with
mangled DS, in this case zeroed out (null selector/descriptor) by either
xen_failsafe_callback() or RESTORE_REGS because the corresponding LDT
entry was invalidated by the reproducer. "
Jan took a look at the preliminary patch and came up a fix that solves
this problem:
"This code gets called after all registers other than those handled by
IRET got already restored, hence a null selector in %ds or a non-null
one that got loaded from a code or read-only data descriptor would
cause a kernel mode fault (with the potential of crashing the kernel
as a whole, if panic_on_oops is set)."
The way to fix this is to realize that the we can only relay on the
registers that IRET restores. The two that are guaranteed are the
%cs and %ss as they are always fixed GDT selectors. Also they are
inaccessible from user mode - so they cannot be altered. This is
the approach taken in this patch.
Another alternative option suggested by Jan would be to relay on
the subtle realization that using the %ebp or %esp relative references uses
the %ss segment. In which case we could switch from using %eax to %ebp and
would not need the %ss over-rides. That would also require one extra
instruction to compensate for the one place where the register is used
as scaled index. However Andrew pointed out that is too subtle and if
further work was to be done in this code-path it could escape folks attention
and lead to accidents.

Mostly mirrors the s390 logic, as unlike x86 we don't need the
SetPageReferenced() bits.
On sparc64 we also lack a user/privileged bit in the huge PMDs.
In order to make this work for THP and non-THP builds, some header
file adjustments were necessary. Namely, provide the PMD_HUGE_* bit
defines and the pmd_large() inline unconditionally rather than
protected by TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE.

A user reported the following oops when a backup process reads
/proc/kcore:
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffbb00ff33b000
IP: [<ffffffff8103157e>] kern_addr_valid+0xbe/0x110

[<ffffffff811517f3>] sys_read+0x53/0xa0
[<ffffffff81449692>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b
Investigation determined that the bug triggered when reading
system RAM at the 4G mark. On this system, that was the first
address using 1G pages for the virt->phys direct mapping so the
PUD is pointing to a physical address, not a PMD page.
The problem is that the page table walker in kern_addr_valid() is
not checking pud_large() and treats the physical address as if
it was a PMD. If it happens to look like pmd_none then it'll
silently fail, probably returning zeros instead of real data. If
the data happens to look like a present PMD though, it will be
walked resulting in the oops above.
This patch adds the necessary pud_large() check.
Unfortunately the problem was not readily reproducible and now
they are running the backup program without accessing
/proc/kcore so the patch has not been validated but I think it
makes sense.

Enable hyperv_clocksource only if its advertised as a feature.
XenServer 6 returns the signature which is checked in
ms_hyperv_platform(), but it does not offer all features. Currently the
clocksource is enabled unconditionally in ms_hyperv_init_platform(), and
the result is a hanging guest.
Hyper-V spec Bit 1 indicates the availability of Partition Reference
Counter. Register the clocksource only if this bit is set.
The guest in question prints this in dmesg:
[ 0.000000] Hypervisor detected: Microsoft HyperV
[ 0.000000] HyperV: features 0x70, hints 0x0
This bug can be reproduced easily be setting 'viridian=1' in a HVM domU
.cfg file. A workaround without this patch is to boot the HVM guest with
'clocksource=jiffies'.

This patch adds support for the SGI UV3 hub to the common x2apic
functions. The primary changes are to account for the similarities
between UV2 and UV3 which are encompassed within the "UVX" nomenclature.
One significant difference within UV3 is the handling of the MMIOH
regions which are redirected to the target blade (with the device) in
a different manner. It also now has two MMIOH regions for both small and
large BARs. This aids in limiting the amount of physical address space
removed from real memory that's used for I/O in the max config of 64TB.

When a HP ProLiant DL980 G7 Server boots a regular kernel,
there will be intermittent lost interrupts which could
result in a hang or (in extreme cases) data loss.
The reason is that this system only supports x2apic physical
mode, while the kernel boots with a logical-cluster default
setting.
This bug can be worked around by specifying the "x2apic_phys" or
"nox2apic" boot option, but we want to handle this system
without requiring manual workarounds.
The BIOS sets ACPI_FADT_APIC_PHYSICAL in FADT table.
As all apicids are smaller than 255, BIOS need to pass the
control to the OS with xapic mode, according to x2apic-spec,
chapter 2.9.
Current code handle x2apic when BIOS pass with xapic mode
enabled:
When user specifies x2apic_phys, or FADT indicates PHYSICAL:
1. During madt oem check, apic driver is set with xapic logical
or xapic phys driver at first.
2. enable_IR_x2apic() will enable x2apic_mode.
3. if user specifies x2apic_phys on the boot line, x2apic_phys_probe()
will install the correct x2apic phys driver and use x2apic phys mode.
Otherwise it will skip the driver will let x2apic_cluster_probe to
take over to install x2apic cluster driver (wrong one) even though FADT
indicates PHYSICAL, because x2apic_phys_probe does not check
FADT PHYSICAL.
Add checking x2apic_fadt_phys in x2apic_phys_probe() to fix the
problem.

Any devices wishing to use the AB8500's GPIO IRQs were forced to
request virtual IRQs from the gpio-ab8500 driver. Now that
responsibility has been passed back to the AB8500 core driver,
devices can request real IRQ numbers instead. This patch removes
any traces of the old virtual IRQ conversion handlers, which will
force any drivers requesting IRQs to use real IRQS.
