dma_debug_init() is called by architecture specific code at different
levels, but typically as a fs_initcall due to the debugfs initialization.
Some platforms may have early callers of the DMA-API, running prior to the
fs_initcall() level, which is not much of an issue unless
CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG is set. When the DMA-API debugging facilities are
turned on a caller will go through:
debug_dma_map_{single,page}
-> dma_mapping_error (inline function usually)
-> debug_dma_mapping_error
-> get_hash_bucket
Calling get_hash_bucket() returns a valid hash value since we hash on high
bits of the dma_addr cookie, but we will grab an unitialized spinlock,
which typically won't crash but produce a warning, the real crash will
however happen during the bucket list traversal because the list has not
been initialized yet.
An obvious solution is of course to move some of the offenders to run
after the fs_initcall level, but since this might not always be an option,
we add a flag "dma_debug_initialized" which is set to false by default,
and set to true once dma_debug_init() has had a chance to run.
The dma_debug_disabled() helper function previously introduced just needs
to check for dma_debug_initialized to allow the caller to proceed or not.

Add a helper function which returns whether the DMA debugging API is
disabled, right now we only check for global_disable, but in order to
accommodate early callers of the DMA-API, we will check for more
initialization flags in the next patch.

high_memory isn't direct mapped memory so retrieving it's physical address
isn't appropriate. But, it would be useful to check physical address of
highmem boundary so it's justfiable to get physical address from it. In
x86, there is a validation check if CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL and it triggers
following boot failure reported by Ingo.
...
BUG: Int 6: CR2 00f06f53

To fix boot regression, this patch implements workaround to avoid
validation check in x86 when retrieving physical address of high_memory.
__pa_nodebug() used by this patch is implemented only in x86 so there is
no choice but to use dirty #ifdef.

Pull VFS changes from Al Viro:
"First pile out of several (there _definitely_ will be more). Stuff in
this one:
- unification of d_splice_alias()/d_materialize_unique()
- iov_iter rewrite
- killing a bunch of ->f_path.dentry users (and f_dentry macro).
Getting that completed will make life much simpler for
unionmount/overlayfs, since then we'll be able to limit the places
sensitive to file _dentry_ to reasonably few. Which allows to have
file_inode(file) pointing to inode in a covered layer, with dentry
pointing to (negative) dentry in union one.
Still not complete, but much closer now.
- crapectomy in lustre (dead code removal, mostly)
- "let's make seq_printf return nothing" preparations
- assorted cleanups and fixes
There _definitely_ will be more piles"

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 mm tree changes from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest change is full PAT support from Jürgen Gross:
The x86 architecture offers via the PAT (Page Attribute Table) a
way to specify different caching modes in page table entries. The
PAT MSR contains 8 entries each specifying one of 6 possible cache
modes. A pte references one of those entries via 3 bits:
_PAGE_PAT, _PAGE_PWT and _PAGE_PCD.
The Linux kernel currently supports only 4 different cache modes.
The PAT MSR is set up in a way that the setting of _PAGE_PAT in a
pte doesn't matter: the top 4 entries in the PAT MSR are the same
as the 4 lower entries.
This results in the kernel not supporting e.g. write-through mode.
Especially this cache mode would speed up drivers of video cards
which now have to use uncached accesses.
OTOH some old processors (Pentium) don't support PAT correctly and
the Xen hypervisor has been using a different PAT MSR configuration
for some time now and can't change that as this setting is part of
the ABI.
This patch set abstracts the cache mode from the pte and introduces
tables to translate between cache mode and pte bits (the default
cache mode "write back" is hard-wired to PAT entry 0). The tables
are statically initialized with values being compatible to old
processors and current usage. As soon as the PAT MSR is changed
(or - in case of Xen - is read at boot time) the tables are changed
accordingly. Requests of mappings with special cache modes are
always possible now, in case they are not supported there will be a
fallback to a compatible but slower mode.
Summing it up, this patch set adds the following features:
- capability to support WT and WP cache modes on processors with
full PAT support
- processors with no or uncorrect PAT support are still working as
today, even if WT or WP cache mode are selected by drivers for
some pages
- reduction of Xen special handling regarding cache mode
Another change is a boot speedup on ridiculously large RAM systems,
plus other smaller fixes"

This patch effectively reverts commit 500f80872645 ("net: ovs: use CRC32
accelerated flow hash if available"), and other remaining arch_fast_hash()
users such as from nfsd via commit 6282cd565553 ("NFSD: Don't hand out
delegations for 30 seconds after recalling them.") where it has been used
as a hash function for bloom filtering.
While we think that these users are actually not much of concern, it has
been requested to remove the arch_fast_hash() library bits that arose
from [1] entirely as per recent discussion [2]. The main argument is that
using it as a hash may introduce bias due to its linearity (see avalanche
criterion) and thus makes it less clear (though we tried to document that)
when this security/performance trade-off is actually acceptable for a
general purpose library function.
Lets therefore avoid any further confusion on this matter and remove it to
prevent any future accidental misuse of it. For the time being, this is
going to make hashing of flow keys a bit more expensive in the ovs case,
but future work could reevaluate a different hashing discipline.

For netlink, we shouldn't be using arch_fast_hash() as a hashing
discipline, but rather jhash() instead.
Since netlink sockets can be opened by any user, a local attacker
would be able to easily create collisions with the DPDK-derived
arch_fast_hash(), which trades off performance for security by
using crc32 CPU instructions on x86_64.
While it might have a legimite use case in other places, it should
be avoided in netlink context, though. As rhashtable's API is very
flexible, we could later on still decide on other hashing disciplines,
if legitimate.

commit 908344cdda80 ("tipc: fix bug in multicast congestion handling")
introduced a race in the broadcast link wakeup functionality.
This patch eliminates this broadcast link wakeup race caused by
operation on the wakeup list without proper locking. If this race
hit and corrupted the list all subsequent wakeup messages would be
lost, resulting in a considerable memory leak.

This replaces most of the calls to netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align in the Realtek
drivers. The one instance I didn't replace in 8139cp.c is because it was
called as a part of init and as such is not always accessed from the
softirq context.

This change replaces calls to netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align with
napi_alloc_skb. The advantage of napi_alloc_skb is currently the fact that
the page allocation doesn't make use of any irq disable calls.
There are few spots where I couldn't replace the calls as the buffer
allocation routine is called as a part of init which is outside of the
softirq context.

This change pulls the core functionality out of __netdev_alloc_skb and
places them in a new function named __alloc_rx_skb. The reason for doing
this is to make these bits accessible to a new function __napi_alloc_skb.
In addition __alloc_rx_skb now has a new flags value that is used to
determine which page frag pool to allocate from. If the SKB_ALLOC_NAPI
flag is set then the NAPI pool is used. The advantage of this is that we
do not have to use local_irq_save/restore when accessing the NAPI pool from
NAPI context.
In my test setup I saw at least 11ns of savings using the napi_alloc_skb
function versus the netdev_alloc_skb function, most of this being due to
the fact that we didn't have to call local_irq_save/restore.
The main use case for napi_alloc_skb would be for things such as copybreak
or page fragment based receive paths where an skb is allocated after the
data has been received instead of before.

This patch splits the netdev_alloc_frag function up so that it can be used
on one of two page frag pools instead of being fixed on the
netdev_alloc_cache. By doing this we can add a NAPI specific function
__napi_alloc_frag that accesses a pool that is only used from softirq
context. The advantage to this is that we do not need to call
local_irq_save/restore which can be a significant savings.
I also took the opportunity to refactor the core bits that were placed in
__alloc_page_frag. First I updated the allocation to do either a 32K
allocation or an order 0 page. This is based on the changes in commmit
d9b2938aa where it was found that latencies could be reduced in case of
failures. Then I also rewrote the logic to work from the end of the page to
the start. By doing this the size value doesn't have to be used unless we
have run out of space for page fragments. Finally I cleaned up the atomic
bits so that we just do an atomic_sub_and_test and if that returns true then
we set the page->_count via an atomic_set. This way we can remove the extra
conditional for the atomic_read since it would have led to an atomic_inc in
the case of success anyway.
