commit 2c935bc57221cc2edc787c72ea0e2d30cdcd3d5e upstream.

Since we need to change the implementation, stop exposing internals.

Provide kref_read() to read the current reference count; typically
used for debug messages.

Kills two anti-patterns:

	atomic_read(&amp;kref-&gt;refcount)
	kref-&gt;refcount.counter

vt_dont_switch is pure boolean, no need for whole char.

commit dce05aa6eec977f1472abed95ccd71276b9a3864 upstream.

Avoid global variables (namely sel_cons) by introducing vc_is_sel. It
checks whether the parameter is the current selection console. This will
help putting sel_cons to a struct later.

<content type='text'>
commit 8019ad13ef7f64be44d4f892af9c840179009254 upstream.

As reported by Jann, ihold() does not in fact guarantee inode
persistence. And instead of making it so, replace the usage of inode
pointers with a per boot, machine wide, unique inode identifier.

This sequence number is global, but shared (file backed) futexes are
rare enough that this should not become a performance issue.

<id>urn:sha1:8c59bdceffbc8f7485ac4e68a1eb3d618154fc35</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 763802b53a427ed3cbd419dbba255c414fdd9e7c upstream.

Commit 3f8fd02b1bf1 ("mm/vmalloc: Sync unmappings in
__purge_vmap_area_lazy()") introduced a call to vmalloc_sync_all() in
the vunmap() code-path.  While this change was necessary to maintain
correctness on x86-32-pae kernels, it also adds additional cycles for
architectures that don't need it.

Specifically on x86-64 with CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y some people reported
severe performance regressions in micro-benchmarks because it now also
calls the x86-64 implementation of vmalloc_sync_all() on vunmap().  But
the vmalloc_sync_all() implementation on x86-64 is only needed for newly
created mappings.

To avoid the unnecessary work on x86-64 and to gain the performance
back, split up vmalloc_sync_all() into two functions:

	* vmalloc_sync_mappings(), and
	* vmalloc_sync_unmappings()

Most call-sites to vmalloc_sync_all() only care about new mappings being
synchronized.  The only exception is the new call-site added in the
above mentioned commit.

Shile Zhang directed us to a report of an 80% regression in reaim
throughput.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 611d779af7cad2b87487ff58e4931a90c20b113c ]

So far we have the unfortunate situation that mdio_bus_phy_may_suspend()
is called in suspend AND resume path, assuming that function result is
the same. After the original change this is no longer the case,
resulting in broken resume as reported by Geert.

To fix this call mdio_bus_phy_may_suspend() in the suspend path only,
and let the phy_device store the info whether it was suspended by
MDIO bus PM.

commit 9144d75e22cad3c89e6b2ccab551db9ee28d250a upstream.

net_dim.h has a rather useful extension to BITS_PER_BYTE to compute the
number of bits in a type (BITS_PER_BYTE * sizeof(T)), so promote the macro
to bitops.h, alongside BITS_PER_BYTE, for wider usage.

We have a HID touch device that reports its opens and shorts test
results in HID buffers of size 8184 bytes. The maximum size of the HID
buffer is currently set to 4096 bytes, causing probe of this device to
fail. With this patch we increase the maximum size of the HID buffer to
8192 bytes, making device probe and acquisition of said buffers succeed.

commit 10a663a1b15134a5a714aa515e11425a44d4fdf7 upstream.

device_shutdown() called from reboot or power_shutdown expect
all devices to be shutdown. Same is true for even ahci pci driver.
As no ahci shutdown function is implemented, the ata subsystem
always remains alive with DMA &amp; interrupt support. File system
related calls should not be honored after device_shutdown().

So defining ahci pci driver shutdown to freeze hardware (mask
interrupt, stop DMA engine and free DMA resources).
