alpha: simplify TIF_NEED_RESCHED handling
In case we have both NEED_RESCHED and SIGPENDING/NOTIFY_RESUME,
handle the latter first. We'll get to original priorities in
the next commit, but now that allows to simplify the treatment
of NEED_RESCHED-only case nicely. Namely, now there no need to
preserve the data for restarts across the call of schedule() in
$work_resched; we can get there only if we had either returned
from syscall without SIGPENDING (in which case we should've
had no restart-worthy return value and want no restarts) or
already got through do_notify_resume() call (in which case we
want no restarts anymore). So we can just slap 0 into $19
instead of preserving it (and $20).

m68k: switch to generic sys_execve()/kernel_execve()
The tricky part here is that task_pt_regs() on m68k works *only* for
process inside do_signal(). However, we need something much simpler -
pt_regs of a process inside do_signal() may be at different offsets
from the stack bottom, depending on the way we'd entered the kernel,
but for a task inside sys_execve() it *is* at constant offset.
Moreover, for a kernel thread about to become a userland process the
same location is also fine - setting sp to that will leave the kernel
stack pointer at the very bottom of the kernel stack when we finally
switch to userland.

cpufreq/powernow-k8: workqueue user shouldn't migrate the kworker to another CPU
powernowk8_target() runs off a per-cpu work item and if the
cpufreq_policy->cpu is different from the current one, it migrates the
kworker to the target CPU by manipulating current->cpus_allowed. The
function migrates the kworker back to the original CPU but this is
still broken. Workqueue concurrency management requires the kworkers
to stay on the same CPU and powernowk8_target() ends up triggerring
BUG_ON(rq != this_rq()) in try_to_wake_up_local() if it contends on
fidvid_mutex and sleeps.
It is unclear why this bug is being reported now. Duncan says it
appeared to be a regression of 3.6-rc1 and couldn't reproduce it on
3.5. Bisection seemed to point to
63d95a91 "workqueue: use @pool
instead of @gcwq or @cpu where applicable" which is an non-functional
change. Given that the reproduce case sometimes took upto days to
trigger, it's easy to be misled while bisecting. Maybe something made
contention on fidvid_mutex more likely? I don't know.
This patch fixes the bug by using work_on_cpu() instead if @pol->cpu
isn't the same as the current one. The code assumes that
cpufreq_policy->cpu is kept online by the caller, which Rafael tells
me is the case.
stable:
ed48ece27c ("workqueue: reimplement work_on_cpu() using

workqueue: reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq
The existing work_on_cpu() implementation is hugely inefficient. It
creates a new kthread, execute that single function and then let the
kthread die on each invocation.
Now that system_wq can handle concurrent executions, there's no
advantage of doing this. Reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq
which makes it simpler and way more efficient.
stable: While this isn't a fix in itself, it's needed to fix a
workqueue related bug in cpufreq/powernow-k8. AFAICS, this

md: make sure metadata is updated when spares are activated or removed.
It isn't always necessary to update the metadata when spares are
removed as the presence-or-not of a spare isn't really important to
the integrity of an array.
Also activating a spare doesn't always require updating the metadata
as the update on 'recovery-completed' is usually sufficient.
However the introduction of 'replacement' devices have made these
transitions sometimes more important. For example the 'Replacement'
flag isn't cleared until the original device is removed, so we need
to ensure a metadata update after that 'spare' is removed.
So set MD_CHANGE_DEVS whenever a spare is activated or removed, to
complement the current situation where it is set when a spare is added
or a device is failed (or a number of other less common situations).
This is suitable for -stable as out-of-data metadata could lead
to data corruption.
This is only relevant for 3.3 and later 9when 'replacement' as
introduced.

When a replacement device becomes active, we mark the device that it
replaces as 'faulty' so that it can subsequently get removed.
However 'calc_degraded' only pays attention to the primary device, not
the replacement, so the array appears to become degraded, which is
wrong.
So teach 'calc_degraded' to consider any replacement if a primary
device is faulty.

confuse md and could lead to data corruption.

drivers/rtc/rtc-twl.c: ensure all interrupts are disabled during probe
On some platforms, bootloaders are known to do some interesting RTC
programming. Without going into the obscurities as to why this may be
the case, suffice it to say the the driver should not make any
assumptions about the state of the RTC when the driver loads. In
particular, the driver probe should be sure that all interrupts are
disabled until otherwise programmed.
This was discovered when finding bursty I2C traffic every second on
Overo platforms. This I2C overhead was keeping the SoC from hitting
deep power states. The cause was found to be the RTC firing every
second on the I2C-connected TWL PMIC.
Special thanks to Felipe Balbi for suggesting to look for a rogue driver
as the source of the I2C traffic rather than the I2C driver itself.
Special thanks to Steve Sakoman for helping track down the source of the
continuous RTC interrups on the Overo boards.

compiler.h: add __visible
gcc 4.6+ has support for a externally_visible attribute that prevents the
optimizer from optimizing unused symbols away. Add a __visible macro to
use it with that compiler version or later.
This is used (at least) by the "Link Time Optimization" patchset.

pid-namespace: limit value of ns_last_pid to (0, max_pid)
The kernel doesn't check the pid for negative values, so if you try to
write -2 to /proc/sys/kernel/ns_last_pid, you will get a kernel panic.
The crash happens because the next pid is -1, and alloc_pidmap() will
try to access to a nonexistent pidmap.

Commit
c76562b6709f ("netvm: prevent a stream-specific deadlock")
accidentally replaced the "size" parameter of sk_rmem_schedule() with an
unsigned int. This changes the semantics of the comparison in the
return statement.
In sk_wmem_schedule we have syntactically the same comparison, but
"size" is a signed integer. In addition, __sk_mem_schedule() takes a
signed integer for its "size" parameter, so there is an implicit type
conversion in sk_rmem_schedule() anyway.
Revert the "size" parameter back to a signed integer so that the
semantics of the expressions in both sk_[rw]mem_schedule() are exactly
the same.

slub: consider pfmemalloc_match() in get_partial_node()
get_partial() is currently not checking pfmemalloc_match() meaning that
it is possible for pfmemalloc pages to leak to non-pfmemalloc users.
This is a problem in the following situation. Assume that there is a
request from normal allocation and there are no objects in the per-cpu
cache and no node-partial slab.
In this case, slab_alloc enters the slow path and new_slab_objects() is
called which may return a PFMEMALLOC page. As the current user is not
allowed to access PFMEMALLOC page, deactivate_slab() is called
([
5091b74a: mm: slub: optimise the SLUB fast path to avoid pfmemalloc
checks]) and returns an object from PFMEMALLOC page.
Next time, when we get another request from normal allocation,
slab_alloc() enters the slow-path and calls new_slab_objects(). In
new_slab_objects(), we call get_partial() and get a partial slab which
was just deactivated but is a pfmemalloc page. We extract one object
from it and re-deactivate.
"deactivate -> re-get in get_partial -> re-deactivate" occures repeatedly.
As a result, access to PFMEMALLOC page is not properly restricted and it
can cause a performance degradation due to frequent deactivation.
deactivation frequently.
This patch changes get_partial_node() to take pfmemalloc_match() into
account and prevents the "deactivate -> re-get in get_partial()
scenario. Instead, new_slab() is called.

slab: do ClearSlabPfmemalloc() for all pages of slab
Right now, we call ClearSlabPfmemalloc() for first page of slab when we
clear SlabPfmemalloc flag. This is fine for most swap-over-network use
cases as it is expected that order-0 pages are in use. Unfortunately it
is possible that that __ac_put_obj() checks SlabPfmemalloc on a tail
page and while this is harmless, it is sloppy. This patch ensures that
the head page is always used.

nbd: clear waiting_queue on shutdown
Fix a serious but uncommon bug in nbd which occurs when there is heavy
I/O going to the nbd device while, at the same time, a failure (server,
network) or manual disconnect of the nbd connection occurs.
There is a small window between the time that the nbd_thread is stopped
and the socket is shutdown where requests can continue to be queued to
nbd's internal waiting_queue. When this happens, those requests are
never completed or freed.
The fix is to clear the waiting_queue on shutdown of the nbd device, in
the same way that the nbd request queue (queue_head) is already being
cleared.
