The x86 fault handler bails in the middle of error handling when the
task has a fatal signal pending. For a subsequent patch this is a
problem in OOM situations because it relies on pagefault_out_of_memory()
being called even when the task has been killed, to perform proper
per-task OOM state unwinding.
Shortcutting the fault like this is a rather minor optimization that
saves a few instructions in rare cases. Just remove it for
user-triggered faults.
Use the opportunity to split the fault retry handling from actual fault
errors and add locking documentation that reads suprisingly similar to
ARM's.

Unlike global OOM handling, memory cgroup code will invoke the OOM killer
in any OOM situation because it has no way of telling faults occuring in
kernel context - which could be handled more gracefully - from
user-triggered faults.
Pass a flag that identifies faults originating in user space from the
architecture-specific fault handlers to generic code so that memcg OOM
handling can be improved.

There was a bug in the handling of SNB-EP/IVB-EP uncore PCI
fixed counters, e.g., IMC.
It would cause erratic values to be returned for the IMC
clockticks event. This was due to a bogus hwc->config value
which was then written to PCI config space.
The erratic values can be seen via:
$ perf stat -a -C 0 -e uncore_imc_0/clockticks/ -I 1000 sleep 10
The fixed counter has most fields marked as reserved with
hw reset values of 0. Yet the kernel was defaulting to a
hwc->config = ~0 and that was causing the issues.
This patch sets the hwc->config values for fixed uncore event
to 0. Now, the values of IMC clockticks is correct.

The IvyBridge event CYCLE_ACTIVITY:CYCLES_LDM_PENDING can only
be measured on counters 0-3 when HT is off. When HT is on, you
only have counters 0-3.
If you program it on the eight counters for 1s on a 3GHz

Currently hugepage migration works well only for pmd-based hugepages
(mainly due to lack of testing,) so we had better not enable migration of
other levels of hugepages until we are ready for it.
Some users of hugepage migration (mbind, move_pages, and migrate_pages) do
page table walk and check pud/pmd_huge() there, so they are safe. But the
other users (softoffline and memory hotremove) don't do this, so without
this patch they can try to migrate unexpected types of hugepages.
To prevent this, we introduce hugepage_migration_support() as an
architecture dependent check of whether hugepage are implemented on a pmd
basis or not. And on some architecture multiple sizes of hugepages are
available, so hugepage_migration_support() also checks hugepage size.

The previous patch doing vmstats for TLB flushes ("mm: vmstats: tlb flush
counters") effectively missed UP since arch/x86/mm/tlb.c is only compiled
for SMP.
UP systems do not do remote TLB flushes, so compile those counters out on
UP.
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mtrr/generic.c calls __flush_tlb() directly. This is
probably an optimization since both the mtrr code and __flush_tlb() write
cr4. It would probably be safe to make that a flush_tlb_all() (and then
get these statistics), but the mtrr code is ancient and I'm hesitant to
touch it other than to just stick in the counters.

I was investigating some TLB flush scaling issues and realized that we do
not have any good methods for figuring out how many TLB flushes we are
doing.
It would be nice to be able to do these in generic code, but the
arch-independent calls don't explicitly specify whether we actually need
to do remote flushes or not. In the end, we really need to know if we
actually _did_ global vs. local invalidations, so that leaves us with few
options other than to muck with the counters from arch-specific code.

Pull Xen bug-fixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"This pull I usually do after rc1 is out but because we have a nice
amount of fixes, some bootup related fixes for ARM, and it is early in
the cycle we figured to do it now to help with tracking of potential
regressions.
The simple ones are the ARM ones - one of the patches fell through the
cracks, other fixes a bootup issue (unconditionally using Xen
functions). Then a fix for a regression causing preempt count being
off (patch causing this went in v3.12).
Lastly are the fixes to make Xen PVHVM guests use PV ticketlocks (Xen
PV already does).
The enablement of that was supposed to be part of the x86 spinlock
merge in commit 816434ec4a67 ("The biggest change here are
paravirtualized ticket spinlocks (PV spinlocks), which bring a nice
speedup on various benchmarks...") but unfortunatly it would cause
hang when booting Xen PVHVM guests. Yours truly got all of the bugs
fixed last week and they (six of them) are included in this pull.
Bug-fixes:
- Boot on ARM without using Xen unconditionally
- On Xen ARM don't run cpuidle/cpufreq
- Fix regression in balloon driver, preempt count warnings
- Fixes to make PVHVM able to use pv ticketlock.
- Revert Xen PVHVM disabling pv ticketlock (aka, re-enable pv ticketlocks)"

Before this patch we would patch all of the pv_lock_ops sites
using alternative assembler. Then later in the bootup cycle
change the unlock_kick and lock_spinning to the Xen specific -
without re patching.
That meant that for the core of the kernel we would be running
with the baremetal version of unlock_kick and lock_spinning while
for modules we would have the proper Xen specific slowpaths.
As most of the module uses some API from the core kernel that ended
up with slowpath lockers waiting forever to be kicked (b/c they
would be using the Xen specific slowpath logic). And the
kick never came b/c the unlock path that was taken was the
baremetal one.
On PV we do not have the problem as we initialise before the
alternative code kicks in.
The fix is to make the updating of the pv_lock_ops function
be done before the alternative code starts patching.
Note that this patch fixes issues discovered by commit
f10cd522c5fbfec9ae3cc01967868c9c2401ed23.
("xen: disable PV spinlocks on HVM") wherein it mentioned
PV spinlocks cannot possibly work with the current code because they are
enabled after pvops patching has already been done, and because PV
spinlocks use a different data structure than native spinlocks so we
cannot switch between them dynamically.
The first problem is solved by this patch.
The second problem has been solved by commit
816434ec4a674fcdb3c2221a6dffdc8f34020550
(Merge branch 'x86-spinlocks-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip)

The xen_lock_spinning has a check for the kicker interrupts
and if it is not initialized it will spin normally (not enter
the slowpath).
But for PVHVM case we would initialize the kicker interrupt
before the CPU came online. This meant that if the booting
CPU used a spinlock and went in the slowpath - it would
enter the slowpath and block forever. The forever part because
during bootup: the spinlock would be taken _before_ the CPU
sets itself to be online (more on this further), and we enter
to poll on the event channel forever.
The bootup CPU (see commit fc78d343fa74514f6fd117b5ef4cd27e4ac30236
"xen/smp: initialize IPI vectors before marking CPU online"
for details) and the CPU that started the bootup consult
the cpu_online_mask to determine whether the booting CPU should
get an IPI. The booting CPU has to set itself in this mask via:
set_cpu_online(smp_processor_id(), true);
However, if the spinlock is taken before this (and it is) and
it polls on an event channel - it will never be woken up as
the kernel will never send an IPI to an offline CPU.
Note that the PVHVM logic in sending IPIs is using the HVM
path which has numerous checks using the cpu_online_mask
and cpu_active_mask. See above mention git commit for details.

disabled for multicalls
m2p_remove_override() calls get_balloon_scratch_page() in
MULTI_update_va_mapping() even though it already has pointer to this page from
the earlier call (in scratch_page). This second call doesn't have a matching
put_balloon_scratch_page() thus not restoring preempt count back. (Also, there
is no put_balloon_scratch_page() in the error path.)
In addition, the second multicall uses __xen_mc_entry() which does not disable
interrupts. Rearrange xen_mc_* calls to keep interrupts off while performing
multicalls.

"This branch contains mostly additions and changes to platform
enablement and SoC-level drivers. Since there's sometimes a
dependency on device-tree changes, there's also a fair amount of
those in this branch.
Pieces worth mentioning are:
- Mbus driver for Marvell platforms, allowing kernel configuration
and resource allocation of on-chip peripherals.
- Enablement of the mbus infrastructure from Marvell PCI-e drivers.
- Preparation of MSI support for Marvell platforms.
- Addition of new PCI-e host controller driver for Tegra platforms
- Some churn caused by sharing of macro names between i.MX 6Q and 6DL
platforms in the device tree sources and header files.
- Various suspend/PM updates for Tegra, including LP1 support.
- Versatile Express support for MCPM, part of big little support.
- Allwinner platform support for A20 and A31 SoCs (dual and quad
Cortex-A7)
- OMAP2+ support for DRA7, a new Cortex-A15-based SoC.
The code that touches other architectures are patches moving MSI
arch-specific functions over to weak symbols and removal of
ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI, acked by PCI maintainers"

Early microcode loading runs C code before paging is enabled on 32
bits. Since ftrace puts a hook into every function, that hook needs
to be safe to execute in the pre-paging environment. This is
currently true for dynamic ftrace but not for static ftrace.
Static ftrace is obsolescent and assumed to not be
performance-critical, so we can simply test that the stack pointer
falls within the valid range of kernel addresses.

- Scalability improvements in event channel.
- Two extra Xen co-maintainers (David, Boris) and one going away (Jeremy)
Bug-fixes:
- Make the 1:1 mapping work during early bootup on selective regions.
- Add scratch page to balloon driver to deal with unexpected code

- Allow NMIs on PV guests (64-bit only)
- Remove unnecessary TLB flush in M2P code.

Pull x86 mm changes from Ingo Molnar:
"Misc smaller fixes:
- a parse_setup_data() boot crash fix
- a memblock and an __early_ioremap cleanup
- turn the always-on CONFIG_ARCH_MEMORY_PROBE=y into a configurable
option and turn it off - it's an unrobust debug facility, it
shouldn't be enabled by default"
* 'x86-mm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86: avoid remapping data in parse_setup_data()
x86: Use memblock_set_current_limit() to set limit for memblock.
mm: Remove unused variable idx0 in __early_ioremap()
mm/hotplug, x86: Disable ARCH_MEMORY_PROBE by default

"This tree contains a single change, ELF relocation handling in C - one
of the kernel randomization patches that makes sense even without
randomization present upstream"
