ACCESS_ONCE() in percpu_ref_kill_rcu()
Two small changes.
* Unlike most init functions, percpu_ref_init() allocates memory and
may fail. Let's mark it with __must_check in case the caller
forgets.
* percpu_ref_kill_rcu() is unnecessarily using ACCESS_ONCE() to
dereference @ref->pcpu_count, which can be misleading. The pointer
is guaranteed to be valid and visible and can't change underneath
the function. Drop ACCESS_ONCE().

* s/percpu_ref_release/percpu_ref_func_t/ as it's customary to have _t
postfix for types and the type is gonna be used for a different type
of callback too.
* Add @ARG to function comments.
* Drop unnecessary and unaligned indentation from percpu_ref_init()
function comment.

percpu_ref_get/put() are using preempt_disable/enable() while
percpu_ref_kill() is using plain call_rcu() instead of
call_rcu_sched(). This is buggy as grace periods of the two may not
match. Fix it by using plain RCU in percpu_ref_get/put().
(I suggested using sched RCU in the first place but there's no actual
benefit in doing so unless we're gonna introduce different variants
of get/put to be called while preemption is alredy disabled, which we
definitely shouldn't.)

The cmpxchg() was just to ensure the debug check didn't race, which was
a bit excessive. The caller is supposed to do the appropriate
synchronization, which means percpu_ref_kill() can just do a simple
store.

This implements a refcount with similar semantics to
atomic_get()/atomic_dec_and_test() - but percpu.
It also implements two stage shutdown, as we need it to tear down the
percpu counts. Before dropping the initial refcount, you must call
percpu_ref_kill(); this puts the refcount in "shutting down mode" and
switches back to a single atomic refcount with the appropriate
barriers (synchronize_rcu()).
It's also legal to call percpu_ref_kill() multiple times - it only
returns true once, so callers don't have to reimplement shutdown
synchronization.

The driver's interrupt handling code is too picky in deciding whether it should
handle an interrupt or not which causes completely unneeded spurious interrupts.
Thus make sata_rcar_{ata|serr}_interrupt() *void*; add ATA status register read
to sata_rcar_ata_interrupt() to clear an unexpected ATA interrupt -- it doesn't
get cleared by writing to the SATAINTSTAT register in the interrupt mode we use.
Also, in sata_rcar_ata_interrupt() we should check SATAINTSTAT register only for
enabled interrupts and we should clear only those interrupts that we have read
as active first time around, because else we have a race and risk clearing an
interrupt that can occur between read and write of the SATAINTSTAT register
and never registering it...

If enabled, CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO scans on PC-like hardware for
various super-io chips by accessing i/o ports in a range which will
crash any parisc hardware at once.
In addition, parisc has it's own incompatible superio chip
(CONFIG_SUPERIO), so if we disable PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO completely for
parisc we can avoid that people by accident enable the parport_pc
superio option too.

parisc/PCI: lba: convert to pci_create_root_bus() for correct root bus
resources
Supply root bus resources to pci_create_root_bus() so they're correct
immediately. This fixes the problem of "early" and "header" quirks seeing
incorrect root bus resources.
added tests for elmmio_space.start while it should use
elmmio_space.flags. This for example led to incorrect resource
assignments and a non-working stifb framebuffer on most parisc machines.

'path.bc[i]' can be asigned by PCI_SLOT() which can '> 10', so sizeof(6
* "%u:" + "%u" + '\0') may be 21.
Since 'name' length is 20, it may be memory overflow.
And 'path.bc[i]' is 'unsigned char' for printing, we can be sure the
max length of 'name' must be less than 28.
So simplify thinking, we can use 28 instead of 20 directly, and do not
think of whether 'patchc.bc[i]' can '> 100'.

Linux doesn't use them but they are simple and I'm not comfortable
having a half-implemented interface in 3.10 and having to deal with
versionning etc... later when something starts needing those calls.
They cannot be emulated in qemu when using in-kernel interrupt
controller (not enough shared state).

Adam Lackorzynski reported the following build failure on

CC arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.o
arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.c: In function ‘rtas_cpu_state_change_mask’:
arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.c:843:4: error: implicit declaration of function ‘cpu_down’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.o] Error 1
make: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel] Error 2
The build fails because cpu_down() is defined only under CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU.
Looking further, the mobility code in pseries is one of the call-sites which
uses rtas_ibm_suspend_me(), which in turn calls rtas_cpu_state_change_mask().
And the mobility code is unconditionally compiled-in (it does not fall under
any Kconfig option). And commit 120496ac (powerpc: Bring all threads online
prior to migration/hibernation) which introduced this build regression is
critical for the proper functioning of the migration code. So it appears
that the only solution to this problem is to enable CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU if
SMP is enabled on PPC_PSERIES platforms. So make that change in the Kconfig.

This adds the remaining two hypercalls defined by PAPR for manipulating
the XICS interrupt controller, H_IPOLL and H_XIRR_X. H_IPOLL returns
information about the priority and pending interrupts for a virtual
cpu, without changing any state. H_XIRR_X is like H_XIRR in that it
reads and acknowledges the highest-priority pending interrupt, but it
also returns the timestamp (timebase register value) from when the
interrupt was first received by the hypervisor. Currently we just
return the current time, since we don't do any software queueing of
virtual interrupts inside the XICS emulation code.
These hcalls are not currently used by Linux guests, but may be in
future.

Commit a9c4e541ea9b22944da356f2a9258b4eddcc953b
"powerpc/kprobe: Complete kprobe and migrate exception frame"
introduced a regression:
While returning from exception handling in case of PREEMPT enabled,
_TIF_NEED_RESCHED bit is checked in TI_FLAGS (thread_info flag) of current
task. Only if this bit is set, it should continue with the process of
calling preempt_schedule_irq() to schedule highest priority task if
available.
Current code assumes that r8 contains TI_FLAGS and check this for
_TIF_NEED_RESCHED, but as r8 is modified in the code which executes before
this check, r8 no longer contains the expected TI_FLAGS information.
As a result check for comparison with _TIF_NEED_RESCHED was failing even if
NEED_RESCHED bit is set in the current thread_info flag. Due to this,
preempt_schedule_irq() and in turn scheduler was not getting called even if
highest priority task is ready for execution.
So, store temporary results in r0 instead of r8 to prevent r8 from getting
modified as subsequent code is dependent on its value.

If a hash bucket gets full, we "evict" a more/less random entry from it.
When we do that we don't invalidate the TLB (hpte_remove) because we assume
the old translation is still technically "valid". This implies that when
we are invalidating or updating pte, even if HPTE entry is not valid
we should do a tlb invalidate.

in no samples. The solution is to default to the "timer" type, instead.
The raw entry also should be updated, as "ppc64/ibm-compat-v1" indicates
to oprofile userspace to use "compatibility events" which are obsolete
in ISA 2.07.

For the mpic with a flag MPIC_SINGLE_DEST_CPU, only one bit should be
set in interrupt destination registers.
The code is applicable to 64-bit platforms as well as 32-bit.

transactions
When in an active transaction that takes a signal, we need to be careful with
the stack. It's possible that the stack has moved back up after the tbegin.
The obvious case here is when the tbegin is called inside a function that
returns before a tend. In this case, the stack is part of the checkpointed
transactional memory state. If we write over this non transactionally or in
suspend, we are in trouble because if we get a tm abort, the program counter
and stack pointer will be back at the tbegin but our in memory stack won't be
valid anymore.
To avoid this, when taking a signal in an active transaction, we need to use
the stack pointer from the checkpointed state, rather than the speculated
state. This ensures that the signal context (written tm suspended) will be
written below the stack required for the rollback. The transaction is aborted
becuase of the treclaim, so any memory written between the tbegin and the
signal will be rolled back anyway.
For signals taken in non-TM or suspended mode, we use the
normal/non-checkpointed stack pointer.
Tested with 64 and 32 bit signals

If we are emulating an instruction inside an active user transaction that
touches memory, the kernel can't emulate it as it operates in transactional
suspend context. We need to abort these transactions and send them back to
userspace for the hardware to rollback.
We can service these if the user transaction is in suspend mode, since the
kernel will operate in the same suspend context.
This adds a check to all alignment faults and to specific instruction
emulations (only string instructions for now). If the user process is in an
active (non-suspended) transaction, we abort the transaction go back to
userspace allowing the HW to roll back the transaction and tell the user of the
failure. This also adds new tm abort cause codes to report the reason of the
persistent error to the user.

PAPR carves out 0xff-0xe0 for hypervisor use of transactional memory software
abort cause codes. Unfortunately we don't respect this currently.
Below fixes this to move our cause codes to below this region.

Pull xfs extended attribute fixes for CRCs from Ben Myers:
"Here are several fixes that are relevant on CRC enabled XFS
filesystems. They are followed by a rework of the remote attribute
code so that each block of the attribute contains a header with a CRC.
Previously there was a CRC header per extent in the remote attribute
code, but this was untenable because it was not possible to know how
many extents would be allocated for the attribute until after the
allocation has completed, due to the fragmentation of free space.
This became complicated because the size of the headers needs to be
added to the length of the payload to get the overall length required
for the allocation. With a header per block, things are less
complicated at the cost of a little space.
I would have preferred to defer this and the rest of the CRC queue to
3.11 to mitigate risk for existing non-crc users in 3.10. Doing so
would require setting a feature bit for the on-disk changes, and so I
have been pressured into sending this pull request by Eric Sandeen and
David Chinner from Red Hat. I'll send another pull request or two
with the rest of the CRC queue next week.
- Remove assert on count of remote attribute CRC headers
- Fix the number of blocks read in for remote attributes
- Zero remote attribute tails properly
- Fix mapping of remote attribute buffers to have correct length
- initialize temp leaf properly in xfs_attr3_leaf_unbalance, and
xfs_attr3_leaf_compact
- Rework remote atttributes to have a header per block"

xfs: rework remote attr CRCs
xfs: fully initialise temp leaf in xfs_attr3_leaf_compact
