Pull dmaengine updates from Dan Williams:
"Even though this has fixes marked for -stable, given the size and the
needed conflict resolutions this is 3.18-rc1/merge-window material.
These patches have been languishing in my tree for a long while. The
fact that I do not have the time to do proper/prompt maintenance of
this tree is a primary factor in the decision to step down as
dmaengine maintainer. That and the fact that the bulk of drivers/dma/
activity is going through Vinod these days.
The net_dma removal has not been in -next. It has developed simple
conflicts against mainline and net-next (for-3.18).
Continuing thanks to Vinod for staying on top of drivers/dma/.
Summary:
1/ Step down as dmaengine maintainer see commit 08223d80df38
"dmaengine maintainer update"
2/ Removal of net_dma, as it has been marked 'broken' since 3.13
(commit 77873803363c "net_dma: mark broken"), without reports of
performance regression.
3/ Miscellaneous fixes"

Pull trace ring buffer iterator fix from Steven Rostedt:
"While testing some new changes for 3.18, I kept hitting a bug every so
often in the ring buffer. At first I thought it had to do with some
of the changes I was working on, but then testing something else I
realized that the bug was in 3.17 itself. I ran several bisects as
the bug was not very reproducible, and finally came up with the commit
that I could reproduce easily within a few minutes, and without the
change I could run the tests over an hour without issue. The change
fit the bug and I figured out a fix. That bad commit was:
Commit 651e22f2701b "ring-buffer: Always reset iterator to reader page"
This commit fixed a bug, but in the process created another one. It
used the wrong value as the cached value that is used to see if things
changed while an iterator was in use. This made it look like a change
always happened, and could cause the iterator to go into an infinite
loop"

Oleg noticed that a cleanup by Sylvain actually uncovered a bug; by
calling perf_event_free_task() when failing sched_fork() we will not yet
have done the memset() on ->perf_event_ctxp[] and will therefore try and
'free' the inherited contexts, which are still in use by the parent
process. This is bad..

Commit 651e22f2701b "ring-buffer: Always reset iterator to reader page"
fixed one bug but in the process caused another one. The reset is to
update the header page, but that fix also changed the way the cached
reads were updated. The cache reads are used to test if an iterator
needs to be updated or not.
A ring buffer iterator, when created, disables writes to the ring buffer
but does not stop other readers or consuming reads from happening.
Although all readers are synchronized via a lock, they are only
synchronized when in the ring buffer functions. Those functions may
be called by any number of readers. The iterator continues down when
its not interrupted by a consuming reader. If a consuming read
occurs, the iterator starts from the beginning of the buffer.
The way the iterator sees that a consuming read has happened since
its last read is by checking the reader "cache". The cache holds the
last counts of the read and the reader page itself.
Commit 651e22f2701b changed what was saved by the cache_read when
the rb_iter_reset() occurred, making the iterator never match the cache.
Then if the iterator calls rb_iter_reset(), it will go into an
infinite loop by checking if the cache doesn't match, doing the reset
and retrying, just to see that the cache still doesn't match! Which
should never happen as the reset is suppose to set the cache to the
current value and there's locks that keep a consuming reader from
having access to the data.

Per commit "77873803363c net_dma: mark broken" net_dma is no longer used
and there is no plan to fix it.
This is the mechanical removal of bits in CONFIG_NET_DMA ifdef guards.
Reverting the remainder of the net_dma induced changes is deferred to
subsequent patches.
Marked for stable due to Roman's report of a memory leak in
dma_pin_iovec_pages():

Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo:
"This is quite late but these need to be backported anyway.
This is the fix for a long-standing cpuset bug which existed from
2009. cpuset makes use of PF_SPREAD_{PAGE|SLAB} flags to modify the
task's memory allocation behavior according to the settings of the
cpuset it belongs to; unfortunately, when those flags have to be
changed, cpuset did so directly even whlie the target task is running,
which is obviously racy as task->flags may be modified by the task
itself at any time. This obscure bug manifested as corrupt
PF_USED_MATH flag leading to a weird crash.
The bug is fixed by moving the flag to task->atomic_flags. The first
two are prepatory ones to help defining atomic_flags accessors and the
third one is the actual fix"

When we change cpuset.memory_spread_{page,slab}, cpuset will flip
PF_SPREAD_{PAGE,SLAB} bit of tsk->flags for each task in that cpuset.
This should be done using atomic bitops, but currently we don't,
which is broken.
Tetsuo reported a hard-to-reproduce kernel crash on RHEL6, which happened
when one thread tried to clear PF_USED_MATH while at the same time another
thread tried to flip PF_SPREAD_PAGE/PF_SPREAD_SLAB. They both operate on
the same task.
Here's the full report:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/19/230
To fix this, we make PF_SPREAD_PAGE and PF_SPREAD_SLAB atomic flags.

Locks the k_itimer's it_lock member when handling the alarm timer's
expiry callback.
The regular posix timers defined in posix-timers.c have this lock held
during timout processing because their callbacks are routed through
posix_timer_fn(). The alarm timers follow a different path, so they
ought to grab the lock somewhere else.

Avoids sending a signal to alarm timers created with sigev_notify set to
SIGEV_NONE by checking for that special case in the timeout callback.
The regular posix timers avoid sending signals to SIGEV_NONE timers by
not scheduling any callbacks for them in the first place. Although it
would be possible to do something similar for alarm timers, it's simpler
to handle this as a special case in the timeout.
Prior to this patch, the alarm timer would ignore the sigev_notify value
and try to deliver signals to the process anyway. Even worse, the
sanity check for the value of sigev_signo is skipped when SIGEV_NONE was
specified, so the signal number could be bogus. If sigev_signo was an
unitialized value (as it often would be if SIGEV_NONE is used), then
it's hard to predict which signal will be sent.

Returns the time remaining for an alarm timer, rather than the time at
which it is scheduled to expire. If the timer has already expired or it
is not currently scheduled, the it_value's members are set to zero.
This new behavior matches that of the other posix-timers and the POSIX
specifications.
This is a change in user-visible behavior, and may break existing
applications. Hopefully, few users rely on the old incorrect behavior.

timeval_to_jiffies tried to round a timeval up to an integral number
of jiffies, but the logic for doing so was incorrect: intervals
corresponding to exactly N jiffies would become N+1. This manifested
itself particularly repeatedly stopping/starting an itimer:
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &val, NULL);
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, NULL, &val);
would add a full tick to val, _even if it was exactly representable in
terms of jiffies_ (say, the result of a previous rounding.) Doing
this repeatedly would cause unbounded growth in val. So fix the math.
Here's what was wrong with the conversion: we essentially computed
(eliding seconds)
jiffies = usec * (NSEC_PER_USEC/TICK_NSEC)
by using scaling arithmetic, which took the best approximation of
NSEC_PER_USEC/TICK_NSEC with denominator of 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC =
x/(2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC), and computed:
jiffies = (usec * x) >> USEC_JIFFIE_SC
and rounded this calculation up in the intermediate form (since we
can't necessarily exactly represent TICK_NSEC in usec.) But the
scaling arithmetic is a (very slight) *over*approximation of the true
value; that is, instead of dividing by (1 usec/ 1 jiffie), we
effectively divided by (1 usec/1 jiffie)-epsilon (rounding
down). This would normally be fine, but we want to round timeouts up,
and we did so by adding 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC - 1 before the shift; this
would be fine if our division was exact, but dividing this by the
slightly smaller factor was equivalent to adding just _over_ 1 to the
final result (instead of just _under_ 1, as desired.)
In particular, with HZ=1000, we consistently computed that 10000 usec
was 11 jiffies; the same was true for any exact multiple of
TICK_NSEC.
We could possibly still round in the intermediate form, adding
something less than 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC - 1, but easier still is to
convert usec->nsec, round in nanoseconds, and then convert using
time*spec*_to_jiffies. This adds one constant multiplication, and is

futex_wait_requeue_pi() calls futex_wait_setup(). If
futex_wait_setup() succeeds it returns with hb->lock held and
preemption disabled. Now the sanity check after this does:
if (match_futex(&q.key, &key2)) {
ret = -EINVAL;
goto out_put_keys;
}
which releases the keys but does not release hb->lock.
So we happily return to user space with hb->lock held and therefor
preemption disabled.
Unlock hb->lock before taking the exit route.

The C operator <= defines a perfectly fine total ordering on the set of
values representable in a long. However, unlike its namesake in the
integers, it is not translation invariant, meaning that we do not have
"b <= c" iff "a+b <= a+c" for all a,b,c.
This means that it is always wrong to try to boil down the relationship
between two longs to a question about the sign of their difference,
because the resulting relation [a LEQ b iff a-b <= 0] is neither
anti-symmetric or transitive. The former is due to -LONG_MIN==LONG_MIN
(take any two a,b with a-b = LONG_MIN; then a LEQ b and b LEQ a, but a !=
b). The latter can either be seen observing that x LEQ x+1 for all x,
implying x LEQ x+1 LEQ x+2 ... LEQ x-1 LEQ x; or more directly with the
simple example a=LONG_MIN, b=0, c=1, for which a-b < 0, b-c < 0, but a-c >
0.
Note that it makes absolutely no difference that a transmogrying bijection
has been applied before the comparison is done. In fact, had the
obfuscation not been done, one could probably not observe the bug
(assuming all values being compared always lie in one half of the address
space, the mathematical value of a-b is always representable in a long).
As it stands, one can easily obtain three file descriptors exhibiting the
non-transitivity of kcmp().
Side note 1: I can't see that ensuring the MSB of the multiplier is
set serves any purpose other than obfuscating the obfuscating code.

We shouldn't set text_len in the code path that detects printk recursion
because text_len corresponds to the length of the string inside textbuf.
A few lines down from the line
text_len = strlen(recursion_msg);
is the line
text_len += vscnprintf(text + text_len, ...);
So if printk detects recursion, it sets text_len to 29 (the length of
recursion_msg) and logs an error. Then the message supplied by the
caller of printk is stored inside textbuf but offset by 29 bytes. This
means that the output of the recursive call to printk will contain 29
bytes of garbage in front of it.
This defect is caused by commit 458df9fd4815 ("printk: remove separate
printk_sched buffers and use printk buf instead") which turned the line
text_len = vscnprintf(text, ...);
into
text_len += vscnprintf(text + text_len, ...);
To fix this, this patch avoids setting text_len when logging the printk
recursion error. This patch also marks unlikely() the branch leading up
to this code.

We saw a kernel soft lockup in perf_remove_from_context(),
it looks like the `perf` process, when exiting, could not go
out of the retry loop. Meanwhile, the target process was forking
a child. So either the target process should execute the smp
function call to deactive the event (if it was running) or it should
do a context switch which deactives the event.
It seems we optimize out a context switch in perf_event_context_sched_out(),
and what's more important, we still test an obsolete task pointer when
retrying, so no one actually would deactive that event in this situation.
Fix it directly by reloading the task pointer in perf_remove_from_context().
This should cure the above soft lockup.

The update_walltime() code works on the shadow timekeeper to make the
seqcount protected region as short as possible. But that update to the
shadow timekeeper does not update all timekeeper fields because it's
sufficient to do that once before it becomes life. One of these fields
is tkr.base_mono. That stays stale in the shadow timekeeper unless an
operation happens which copies the real timekeeper to the shadow.
The update function is called after the update calls to vsyscall and
pvclock. While not correct, it did not cause any problems because none
of the invoked update functions used base_mono.
commit cbcf2dd3b3d4 (x86: kvm: Make kvm_get_time_and_clockread()
nanoseconds based) changed that in the kvm pvclock update function, so
the stale mono_base value got used and caused kvm-clock to malfunction.
Put the update where it belongs and fix the issue.

The local nohz kick is currently used by perf which needs it to be
NMI-safe. Recent commit though (7d1311b93e58ed55f3a31cc8f94c4b8fe988a2b9)
changed its implementation to fire the local kick using the remote kick
API. It was convenient to make the code more generic but the remote kick
isn't NMI-safe.

After commit d431cbc53cb7 (PM / sleep: Simplify sleep states sysfs
interface code) the pm_states[] array is not populated initially,
which causes setup_test_suspend() to always fail and the suspend
testing during boot doesn't work any more.
Fix the problem by using pm_labels[] instead of pm_states[] in
setup_test_suspend() and storing a pointer to the label of the
sleep state to test rather than the number representing it,
because the connection between the state numbers and labels is
only established by suspend_set_ops().

Currently new system call kexec_file_load() and all the associated code
compiles if CONFIG_KEXEC=y. But new syscall also compiles purgatory
code which currently uses gcc option -mcmodel=large. This option seems
to be available only gcc 4.4 onwards.
Hiding new functionality behind a new config option will not break
existing users of old gcc. Those who wish to enable new functionality
will require new gcc. Having said that, I am trying to figure out how
can I move away from using -mcmodel=large but that can take a while.
I think there are other advantages of introducing this new config
option. As this option will be enabled only on x86_64, other arches
don't have to compile generic kexec code which will never be used. This
new code selects CRYPTO=y and CRYPTO_SHA256=y. And all other arches had
to do this for CONFIG_KEXEC. Now with introduction of new config
option, we can remove crypto dependency from other arches.
Now CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is available only on x86_64. So whereever I had
CONFIG_X86_64 defined, I got rid of that.
For CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE, instead of doing select CRYPTO=y, I changed it to
"depends on CRYPTO=y". This should be safer as "select" is not
recursive.

Richard and Daniel reported that UML is broken due to changes to
resource traversal functions. Problem is that iomem_resource.child can
be null and new code does not consider that possibility. Old code used
a for loop and that loop will not even execute if p was null.
Revert back to for() loop logic and bail out if p is null.
I also moved sibling_only check out of resource_lock. There is no
reason to keep it inside the lock.
Following is backtrace of the UML crash.

The nocb callbacks generated before the nocb kthreads are spawned are
enqueued in the nocb queue for later processing. Commit fbce7497ee5af ("rcu:
Parallelize and economize NOCB kthread wakeups") introduced nocb leader kthreads
which checked the nocb_leader_wake flag to see if there were any such pending
callbacks. A case was reported in which newly spawned leader kthreads were not
processing the pending callbacks as this flag was not set, which led to a boot
hang.
The following commit ensures that the newly spawned nocb kthreads process the
pending callbacks by allowing the kthreads to run immediately after spawning
instead of waiting. This is done by inverting the logic of nocb_leader_wake
tests to nocb_leader_sleep which allows us to use the default initialization of
this flag to 0 to let the kthreads run.

Pull trace buffer epoll hang fix from Steven Rostedt:
"Josef Bacik found a bug in the ring_buffer_poll_wait() where the
condition variable (waiters_pending) was set before being added to the
poll queue via poll_wait(). This allowed for a small race window to
happen where an event could come in, check the condition variable see
it set to true, clear it, and then wake all the waiters. But because
the waiter set the variable before adding itself to the queue, the
waker could have cleared the variable after it was set and then miss
waking it up as it wasn't added to the queue yet.
Discussing this bug, we realized that a memory barrier needed to be
added too, for the rare case that something polls for a single trace
event to happen (and just one, no more to come in), and miss the
wakeup due to memory ordering. Ideally, a memory barrier needs to be
added on the writer side too, but as that will kill tracing
performance and this is for a situation that tracing wasn't even
designed for (who traces one instance of an event, use a printk
instead!), this isn't worth adding the barrier. But we can in the
future add the barrier for when the buffer goes from empty to the
first event, as that would cover this case"

Add flags field to struct kernel_params, and add the first flag: unsafe
parameter. Modifying a kernel parameter with the unsafe flag set, either
via the kernel command line or sysfs, will issue a warning and taint the
kernel.

Epoll on trace_pipe can sometimes hang in a weird case. If the ring buffer is
empty when we set waiters_pending but an event shows up exactly at that moment
we can miss being woken up by the ring buffers irq work. Since
ring_buffer_empty() is inherently racey we will sometimes think that the buffer
is not empty. So we don't get woken up and we don't think there are any events
even though there were some ready when we added the watch, which makes us hang.
This patch fixes this by making sure that we are actually on the wait list
before we set waiters_pending, and add a memory barrier to make sure
ring_buffer_empty() is going to be correct.

Pull fix for ftrace function tracer/profiler conflict from Steven Rostedt:
"The rewrite of the ftrace code that makes it possible to allow for
separate trampolines had a design flaw with the interaction between
the function and function_graph tracers.
The main flaw was the simplification of the use of multiple tracers
having the same filter (like function and function_graph, that use the
set_ftrace_filter file to filter their code). The design assumed that
the two tracers could never run simultaneously as only one tracer can
be used at a time. The problem with this assumption was that the
function profiler could be implemented on top of the function graph
tracer, and the function profiler could run at the same time as the
function tracer. This caused the assumption to be broken and when
ftrace detected this failed assumpiton it would spit out a nasty
warning and shut itself down.
Instead of using a single ftrace_ops that switches between the
function and function_graph callbacks, the two tracers can again use
their own ftrace_ops. But instead of having a complex hierarchy of
ftrace_ops, the filter fields are placed in its own structure and the
ftrace_ops can carefully use the same filter. This change took a bit
to be able to allow for this and currently only the global_ops can
share the same filter, but this new design can easily be modified to
allow for any ftrace_ops to share its filter with another ftrace_ops.
The first four patches deal with the change of allowing the ftrace_ops
to share the filter (and this needs to go to 3.16 as well).
The fifth patch fixes a bug that was also caused by the new changes
but only for archs other than x86, and only if those archs implement a
direct call to the function_graph tracer which they do not do yet but
will in the future. It does not need to go to stable, but needs to be
fixed before the other archs update their code to allow direct calls
to the function_graph trampoline"
