As described in e6fa16ab ("signal: sigprocmask() should do
retarget_shared_pending()") the modification of current->blocked is
incorrect as we need to check whether the signal we're about to block is
pending in the shared queue.
Also, use the new helper function introduced in commit 5e6292c0f28f
("signal: add block_sigmask() for adding sigmask to current->blocked")
which centralises the code for updating current->blocked after
successfully delivering a signal and reduces the amount of duplicate code
across architectures. In the past some architectures got this code wrong,
so using this helper function should stop that from happening again.

There are a couple of problems with the current signal code,
1. If we failed to setup the signal stack frame then we should not be
masking any signals.
2. ka->sa.sa_mask is only added to the current blocked signals list if
SA_NODEFER is set in ka->sa.sa_flags. If we successfully setup the
signal frame and are going to run the handler then we must honour
sa_mask.

get_signal_to_deliver() already resets the signal handler if SA_ONESHOT is
set in ka->sa.sa_flags, there's no need to do it again in handle_signal().
Furthermore, because we were modifying ka->sa.sa_handler (which is a copy
of sighand->action[]) instead of sighand->action[] the original code
actually had no effect on signal delivery.

Instead of open coding the sequence from force_sigsegv() just call it.
This also fixes a bug because we were modifying ka->sa.sa_handler (which
is a copy of sighand->action[]), whereas the intention of the code was to
modify sighand->action[] directly.
As the original code was working with a copy it had no effect on signal
delivery.

1) A set of improvements and fixes to the RCU_FAST_NO_HZ feature (with
more on the way for 3.6). Posted to LKML:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/23/324 (commits 1-3 and 5),

https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/4/410 (commit 7, combined with
the other commits for the convenience of the tester).
2) Changes to make rcu_barrier() avoid disrupting execution of CPUs
that have no RCU callbacks. Posted to LKML:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/23/322.
3) A couple of commits that improve the efficiency of the interaction
between preemptible RCU and the scheduler, these two being all that
survived an abortive attempt to allow preemptible RCU's
__rcu_read_lock() to be inlined. The full set was posted to LKML at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/14/143, and the first and third patches
of that set remain.
4) Lai Jiangshan's algorithmic implementation of SRCU, which includes
call_srcu() and srcu_barrier(). A major feature of this new
implementation is that synchronize_srcu() no longer disturbs the
execution of other CPUs. This work is based on earlier
implementations by Peter Zijlstra and Paul E. McKenney. Posted to
LKML: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/22/82.

This reverts commit 8c01a529b861ba97c7d78368e6a5d4d42e946f75.
It turns out the d_unhashed() check isn't unnecessary after all: while
it's true that unhashing will increment the sequence numbers, that does
not necessarily invalidate the RCU lookup, because it might have seen
the dentry pointer (before it got unhashed), but by the time it loaded
the sequence number, it could have seen the *new* sequence number (after
it got unhashed).
End result: we might look up an unhashed dentry that is about to be
freed, with the sequence number never indicating anything bad about it.
So checking that the dentry is still hashed (*after* reading the sequence
number) is indeed the proper fix, and was never unnecessary.

Pull usb-gadget scsi-target merge from Nicholas Bellinger:
"As promised, here is the pull request for Sebastian's usb-gadget
target UASP / BOT driver for v3.5-rc1. This code has been in
linux-next for a number of weeks, and is now ready for an initial
merge.
This fabric uses the target framework to provide a usb gadget device.
This gadget supports the USB Attached SCSI Protocol (UASP) and Bulk
Only Transfers (BOT or BBB). BOT is the primary interface, UAS is the
alternative interface.
Note this series is dependent upon a single target core patch for
adding se_cmd->unknown_data_length in target-pending/for-next, that
got merged in the parent.
Kudos to Sebastian for making this driver happen so easily, and for
his patches to improve usb-core and target core along the way to his
goal. Also thanks to Felipe + Greg-KH for their help in getting this
driver ready for mainline."

Pull regmap updates from Mark Brown:
"A surprisingly large series of updates for regmap this time, mostly
due to all the work Stephen Warren has done to add support for MMIO
buses. This wasn't really the target for the framework but it turns
out that there's a reasonable number of cases where it's very helpful
to use the register cache support to allow the register map to remain
available while the device is suspended.
- A MMIO bus implementation, contributed by Stephen Warren. Currently
this is limited to 32 bit systems and native endian registers.
- Support for naming register maps, mainly intended for MMIO devices
with multiple register banks. This was also contributed by Stephen
Warren.
- Support for register striding, again contributed by Stephen Warren
and mainly intended for use with MMIO as typically the registers
will be a fixed size but byte addressed.
- irqdomain support for the generic regmap irq_chip, including support
for dynamically allocate interrupt numbers.
- A function dev_get_regmap() which allows frameworks using regmap to
obtain the regmap for a device from the struct device, making life a
little simpler for them.
- Updates to regmap-irq to support more chips (contributed by Graeme
Gregory) and to use irqdomains.
- Support for devices with 24 bit register addresses.
The striding support collided with all the topic branches so the
branches look a bit messy and eventually I just gave up. There's also
the TI Palmas driver and a couple of other isolated MFD patches that
all depend on new regmap features so are being merged here."

Miklos Szeredi points out that we need to also worry about memory
odering when doing the dentry name comparison asynchronously with RCU.
In particular, doing a rename can do a memcpy() of one dentry name over
another, and we want to make sure that any unlocked reader will always
see the proper terminating NUL character, so that it won't ever run off
the allocation.
Rather than having to be extra careful with the name copy or at lookup
time for each character, this resolves the issue by making sure that all
names that are inlined in the dentry always have a NUL character at the
end of the name allocation. If we do that at dentry allocation time, we
know that no future name copy will ever change that final NUL to
anything else, so there are no memory ordering issues.
So even if a concurrent rename ends up overwriting the NUL character
that terminates the original name, we always know that there is one
final NUL at the end, and there is no worry about the lockless RCU
lookup traversing the name too far.
The out-of-line allocations are never copied over, so we can just make
sure that we write the name (with terminating NULL) and do a write
barrier before we expose the name to anything else by setting it in the
dentry.

We had for some reason overlooked the AIO interface, and it didn't use
the proper rw_verify_area() helper function that checks (for example)
mandatory locking on the file, and that the size of the access doesn't
cause us to overflow the provided offset limits etc.
Instead, AIO did just the security_file_permission() thing (that
rw_verify_area() also does) directly.
This fixes it to do all the proper helper functions, which not only
means that now mandatory file locking works with AIO too, we can
actually remove lines of code.

"This is the bulk of the core ARM updates for this merge window.
Included in here is a different way to handle the VIVT cache flushing
on context switch, which should allow scheduler folk to remove a
special case in their core code.
We have architectured timer support here, which is a set of timers
specified by the ARM architecture for future SoCs. So we should see
less variability in timer design going forward.
The last big thing here is my cleanup to the way we handle PCI across
ARM, fixing some oddities in some platforms which hadn't realised
there was a way to deal with their private data already built in to
our PCI backend.
I've also removed support for the ARMv3 architecture; it hasn't worked

During early boot, when the scheduler hasn't really been fully set up,
we really can't do blocking allocations because with certain (dubious)
configurations the "might_resched()" calls can actually result in
scheduling events.
We could just make such users always use GFP_ATOMIC, but quite often the
code that does the allocation isn't really aware of the fact that the
scheduler isn't up yet, and forcing that kind of random knowledge on the
initialization code is just annoying and not good for anybody.
And we actually have a the 'gfp_allowed_mask' exactly for this reason:
it's just that the kernel init sequence happens to set it to allow
blocking allocations much too early.
So move the 'gfp_allowed_mask' initialization from 'start_kernel()'
(which is some of the earliest init code, and runs with preemption
disabled for good reasons) into 'kernel_init()'. kernel_init() is run
in the newly created thread that will become the 'init' process, as
opposed to the early startup code that runs within the context of what
will be the first idle thread.
So by the time we reach 'kernel_init()', we know that the scheduler must
be at least limping along, because we've already scheduled from the idle
thread into the init thread.

cleaner, it should be able to fall in line and modernize in this area
too.

Pull networking changes from David Miller:
1) Get rid of the error prone NLA_PUT*() macros that used an embedded
goto.
2) Kill off the token-ring and MCA networking drivers, from Paul
Gortmaker.
3) Reduce high-order allocations made by datagram AF_UNIX sockets, from
Eric Dumazet.
4) Add PTP hardware clock support to IGB and IXGBE, from Richard
Cochran and Jacob Keller.
5) Allow users to query timestamping capabilities of a card via
ethtool, from Richard Cochran.
6) Add loadbalance mode to the teaming driver, from Jiri Pirko. Part
of this is that we can now have BPF filters not attached to sockets,
and the loadbalancing function is calculated using one.
7) Francois Romieu went through the network drivers removing gratuitous
uses of netdev->base_addr, perhaps some day we can remove it
completely but it's used for ISA probing still.
8) Add a BPF JIT for sparc. I know, who cares, right? :-)
9) Move networking sysctl registry away from using the compatability
mode interfaces in the sysctl code. From Eric W Biederman.
10) Pavel Emelyanov added a way to save and restore TCP socket state via
TCP_REPAIR, TCP_REPAIR_QUEUE, and TCP_QUEUE_SEQ socket options as
well as a way to forcefully bind a socket to a port via the
sk->sk_reuse value SK_FORCE_REUSE. There is also a
TCP_REPAIR_OPTIONS which allows to reinstante the TCP options
enabled on the connection.
11) Several enhancements from Eric Dumazet that, in particular, can
enhance splice performance on TCP sockets significantly.
a) Reset the offset of the per-socket sendmsg page when we know
we're the only use of the page in linear_to_page().
b) Add facilities such that skb->data can be backed a page rather
than SLAB kmalloc'd memory. In particular devices which were
receiving into linear RX buffers can now end up providing paged
data.
The big result is that code like splice and GRO do not have to copy
any more.
12) Allow a pure sender to more gracefully handle ACK backlogs in TCP.
What can happen at high rates is that the sender hasn't grown his
receive buffer limits at all (he's not receiving data so really
doesn't need to), but the non-data ACKs consume receive buffer
space.
sk_add_backlog() is too aggressive in dropping frames in this case,
so relax it's requirements by using the receive buffer plus the send
buffer limit as the backlog limit instead of just the former.
Also from Eric Dumazet.
13) Add ipv6 support to L2TP, from Benjamin LaHaise, James Chapman, and
Chris Elston.
14) Implement TCP early retransmit (RFC 5827), from Yuchung Cheng.
Basically, we can start fast retransmit before hiting the dupack
threshold under certain conditions.
15) New CODEL active queue management packet scheduler, from Eric
Dumazet based upon initial work by Dave Taht.
Basically, the big feature is that packets are dropped (or ECN bits
are set) based upon how long packets live in the queue, rather than
the queue length (which is what RED uses).

This branch simplifies and clarifies the dcache lookup, and allows us to
do certain nice optimizations when comparing dentries. It also cleans
up the interface to __d_lookup_rcu(), especially around passing the
inode information around.
* dentry-cleanups:
vfs: make it possible to access the dentry hash/len as one 64-bit entry
vfs: move dentry name length comparison from dentry_cmp() into callers
vfs: do the careful dentry name access for all dentry_cmp cases
vfs: remove unnecessary d_unhashed() check from __d_lookup_rcu
vfs: clean up __d_lookup_rcu() and dentry_cmp() interfaces

This teaches vfs_fstat() to use the appropriate f[get|put]_light
functions, allowing it to avoid some unnecessary locking for the common
case.
More noticeably, it also cleans up and simplifies the "getname_flags()"
function, which now relies on the architecture strncpy_from_user() doing
all the user access checks properly, instead of hacking around the fact
that on x86 it didn't use to do it right (see commit 92ae03f2ef99: "x86:
merge 32/64-bit versions of 'strncpy_from_user()' and speed it up").
* vfs-cleanups:
VFS: make vfs_fstat() use f[get|put]_light()
VFS: clean up and simplify getname_flags()
x86: make word-at-a-time strncpy_from_user clear bytes at the end

This makes cp_new_stat() a bit more readable, and avoids having to
memset() the whole structure just to fill in a couple of padding fields.
This is another result of me looking at code generation of functions
that show up high on certain kernel profiles, and just going "Oh, let's
just clean that up".
Architectures that don't supply the #define to fill just the padding
fields will still fall back to memset().
* stat-cleanups:
vfs: don't force a big memset of stat data just to clear padding fields
vfs: de-crapify "cp_new_stat()" function

This series sanitizes the interface to unmap_vma(). The crazy interface
annoyed me no end when I was looking at unmap_single_vma(), which we can
spend quite a lot of time in (especially with loads that have a lot of
small fork/exec's: shell scripts etc).
Moving the nr_accounted calculations to where they belong at least
clarifies things a little. I hope to come back to look at the
performance of this later, but if/when I get back to it I at least don't
have to see the crazy interfaces any more.
* vm-cleanups:
vm: remove 'nr_accounted' calculations from the unmap_vmas() interfaces
vm: simplify unmap_vmas() calling convention
