Commit 903ab86d195cca295379699299c5fc10beba31c7 of 1 March this year ("udp: Add
lockless transmit path") introduced a new fast TX path that broke the checksum
coverage computation of UDP-lite, which so far depended on up->len (only set
if the socket is locked and 0 in the fast path).
Fixed by providing both fast- and slow-path computation of checksum coverage.
The latter can be removed when UDP(-lite)v6 also uses a lockless transmit path.

Add the ability to disable PCI-E MPS turning and using the BIOS
configured MPS defaults. Due to the number of issues recently
discovered on some x86 chipsets, make this the default behavior.
Also, add the option for peer to peer DMA MPS configuration. Peer to
peer DMA is outside the scope of this patch, but MPS configuration could
prevent it from working by having the MPS on one root port different
than the MPS on another. To work around this, simply make the system
wide MPS the smallest possible value (128B).

David reported:
Attached below is a watered-down version of rt/tst-cpuclock2.c from
GLIBC. Just build it with "gcc -o test test.c -lpthread -lrt" or
similar.
Run it several times, and you will see cases where the main thread
will measure a process clock difference before and after the nanosleep
which is smaller than the cpu-burner thread's individual thread clock
difference. This doesn't make any sense since the cpu-burner thread
is part of the top-level process's thread group.
I've reproduced this on both x86-64 and sparc64 (using both 32-bit and
64-bit binaries).
For example:
[davem@boricha build-x86_64-linux]$ ./test
process: before(0.001221967) after(0.498624371) diff(497402404)
thread: before(0.000081692) after(0.498316431) diff(498234739)
self: before(0.001223521) after(0.001240219) diff(16698)
[davem@boricha build-x86_64-linux]$
The diff of 'process' should always be >= the diff of 'thread'.
I make sure to wrap the 'thread' clock measurements the most tightly
around the nanosleep() call, and that the 'process' clock measurements
are the outer-most ones.

This is due to us using p->se.sum_exec_runtime in
thread_group_cputime() where we iterate the thread group and sum all
data. This does not take time since the last schedule operation (tick
or otherwise) into account. We can cure this by using
task_sched_runtime() at the cost of having to take locks.
This also means we can (and must) do away with
thread_group_sched_runtime() since the modified thread_group_cputime()
is now more accurate and would deadlock when called from
thread_group_sched_runtime().
Aside of that it makes the function safe on 32 bit systems. The old
code added t->se.sum_exec_runtime unprotected. sum_exec_runtime is a
64bit value and could be changed on another cpu at the same time.

The IEEE 1588 standard defines two kinds of messages, event and general
messages. Event messages require time stamping, and general do not. When
using UDP transport, two separate ports are used for the two message
types.
The BPF designed to recognize event messages incorrectly classifies L2
general messages as event messages. This commit fixes the issue by
extending the filter to check the message type field for L2 PTP packets.
Event messages are be distinguished from general messages by testing
the "general" bit.

* 'writeback-for-linus' of git://github.com/fengguang/linux:
writeback: show raw dirtied_when in trace writeback_single_inode
|

That flag no longer makes sense, since we don't look up automount points
as eagerly any more. Additionally, it turns out that the NO_AUTOMOUNT
handling was buggy to begin with: it would avoid automounting even for
cases where we really *needed* to do the automount handling, and could
return ENOENT for autofs entries that hadn't been instantiated yet.
With our new non-eager automount semantics, one discussion has been
about adding a AT_AUTOMOUNT flag to vfs_fstatat (and thus the
newfstatat() and fstatat64() system calls), but it's probably not worth
it: you can always force at least directory automounting by simply
adding the final '/' to the filename, which works for *all* of the stat
family system calls, old and new.
So AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT (and thus LOOKUP_NO_AUTOMOUNT) really were just a
result of our bad default behavior.

Since we've now turned around and made LOOKUP_FOLLOW *not* force an
automount, we want to add the ability to force an automount event on
lookup even if we don't happen to have one of the other flags that force
it implicitly (LOOKUP_OPEN, LOOKUP_DIRECTORY, LOOKUP_PARENT..)
Most cases will never want to use this, since you'd normally want to
delay automounting as long as possible, which usually implies
LOOKUP_OPEN (when we open a file or directory, we really cannot avoid
the automount any more).
But Trond argued sufficiently forcefully that at a minimum bind mounting
a file and quotactl will want to force the automount lookup. Some other
cases (like nfs_follow_remote_path()) could use it too, although
LOOKUP_DIRECTORY would work there as well.
This commit just adds the flag and logic, no users yet, though. It also
doesn't actually touch the LOOKUP_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag that is related, and
was made irrelevant by the same change that made us not follow on
LOOKUP_FOLLOW.

If optional discard support in dm-crypt is enabled, discards requests
bypass the crypt queue and blocks of the underlying device are discarded.
For the read path, discarded blocks are handled the same as normal
ciphertext blocks, thus decrypted.
So if the underlying device announces discarded regions return zeroes,
dm-crypt must disable this flag because after decryption there is just
random noise instead of zeroes.

598841ca9919d008b520114d8a4378c4ce4e40a1 ([S390] use gmap address
spaces for kvm guest images) changed kvm on s390 to use a separate
address space for kvm guests. We can now put KVM guests anywhere
in the user address mode with a size up to 8PB - as long as the
memory is 1MB-aligned. This change was done without KVM extension
capability bit.
The change was added after 3.0, but we still have a chance to add
a feature bit before 3.1 (keeping the releases in a sane state).
We use number 71 to avoid collisions with other pending kvm patches
as requested by Alexander Graf.

Attempt to reduce the number of IP packets emitted in response to single
SCTP packet (2e3216cd) introduced a complication - if a packet contains
two COOKIE_ECHO chunks and nothing else then SCTP state machine corks the
socket while processing first COOKIE_ECHO and then loses the association
and forgets to uncork the socket. To deal with the issue add new SCTP
command which can be used to set association explictly. Use this new
command when processing second COOKIE_ECHO chunk to restore the context
for SCTP state machine.

dev_forward_skb loops an skb back into host networking
stack which might hang on the memory indefinitely.
In particular, this can happen in macvtap in bridged mode.
Copy the userspace fragments to avoid blocking the
sender in that case.
As this patch makes skb_copy_ubufs extern now,
I also added some documentation and made it clear

of doing it in all callers. This can be made into a separate

`bgpio_remove' referenced in section `___ksymtab_gpl+bgpio_remove' of drivers/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.devexit.text' of drivers/built-in.o
This is because of bgpio_remove() is exported. It is illegal to export

Revert the post-3.0 commit 82f9d486e59f5 ("memcg: add
memory.vmscan_stat").
The implementation of per-memcg reclaim statistics violates how memcg
hierarchies usually behave: hierarchically.
The reclaim statistics are accounted to child memcgs and the parent
hitting the limit, but not to hierarchy levels in between. Usually,
hierarchical statistics are perfectly recursive, with each level
representing the sum of itself and all its children.
Since this exports statistics to userspace, this may lead to confusion
and problems with changing things after the release, so revert it now,
we can try again later.

The current cgroup context switch code was incorrect leading
to bogus counts. Furthermore, as soon as there was an active
cgroup event on a CPU, the context switch cost on that CPU
would increase by a significant amount as demonstrated by a
simple ping/pong example:
$ ./pong
Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
10684.51 ctxsw/s
Now start a cgroup perf stat:
$ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 100
$ ./pong
Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
6674.61 ctxsw/s
That's a 37% penalty.
Note that pong is not even in the monitored cgroup.
The results shown by perf stat are bogus:
$ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 100
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 100':
CPU1 <not counted> cycles test
CPU1 16,984,189,138 cycles # 0.000 GHz
The second 'cycles' event should report a count @ CPU clock
(here 2.4GHz) as it is counting across all cgroups.
The patch below fixes the bogus accounting and bypasses any
cgroup switches in case the outgoing and incoming tasks are
in the same cgroup.
With this patch the same test now yields:
$ ./pong
Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
10775.30 ctxsw/s
Start perf stat with cgroup:
$ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 10
Run pong outside the cgroup:
$ /pong
Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
10687.80 ctxsw/s
The penalty is now less than 2%.
And the results for perf stat are correct:
$ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 10
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 10':
CPU1 <not counted> cycles test # 0.000 GHz
CPU1 23,933,981,448 cycles # 0.000 GHz
Now perf stat reports the correct counts for
for the non cgroup event.
If we run pong inside the cgroup, then we also get the
correct counts:
$ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 10
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 10':
CPU1 22,297,726,205 cycles test # 0.000 GHz
CPU1 23,933,981,448 cycles # 0.000 GHz

Replace/remove use of RIO v.1.2 registers/bits that are not
forward-compatible with newer versions of RapidIO specification.
RapidIO specification v.1.3 removed Write Port CSR, Doorbell CSR,
Mailbox CSR and Mailbox and Doorbell bits of the PEF CAR.
Use of removed (since RIO v.1.3) register bits affects users of
currently available 1.3 and 2.x compliant devices who may use not so
recent kernel versions.
Removing checks for unsupported bits makes corresponding routines
compatible with all versions of RapidIO specification. Therefore,
backporting makes stable kernel versions compliant with RIO v.1.3 and
later as well.

Purely in-memory filesystems do not use the inode hash as the dcache
tells us if an entry already exists. As a result, they do not call
unlock_new_inode, and thus directory inodes do not get put into a
different lockdep class for i_sem.
We need the different lockdep classes, because the locking order for
i_mutex is different for directory inodes and regular inodes. Directory
inodes can do "readdir()", which takes i_mutex *before* possibly taking
mm->mmap_sem (due to a page fault while copying the directory entry to
user space).
In contrast, regular inodes can be mmap'ed, which takes mm->mmap_sem
before accessing i_mutex.
The two cases can never happen for the same inode, so no real deadlock
can occur, but without the different lockdep classes, lockdep cannot
understand that. As a result, if CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is set, this
can lead to false positives from lockdep like below:
find/645 is trying to acquire lock:
(&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff81109514>] might_fault+0x5c/0xac
but task is already holding lock:
(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#15){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81149f34>]
vfs_readdir+0x5b/0xb4
which lock already depends on the new lock.
the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
-> #1 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#15){+.+.+.}:
[<ffffffff8108ac26>] lock_acquire+0xbf/0x103
[<ffffffff814db822>] __mutex_lock_common+0x4c/0x361

I ran into a couple of programs which broke with the new Linux 3.0
version. Some of those were binary only. I tried to use LD_PRELOAD to
work around it, but it was quite difficult and in one case impossible
because of a mix of 32bit and 64bit executables.
For example, all kind of management software from HP doesnt work, unless
we pretend to run a 2.6 kernel.
$ uname -a
Linux svivoipvnx001 3.0.0-08107-g97cd98f #1062 SMP Fri Aug 12 18:11:45 CEST 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
$ hpacucli ctrl all show
Error: No controllers detected.
$ rpm -qf /usr/sbin/hpacucli
hpacucli-8.75-12.0
Another notable case is that Python now reports "linux3" from
sys.platform(); which in turn can break things that were checking
sys.platform() == "linux2":
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664564
It seems pretty clear to me though it's a bug in the apps that are using
'==' instead of .startswith(), but this allows us to unbreak broken
programs.
This patch adds a UNAME26 personality that makes the kernel report a
2.6.40+x version number instead. The x is the x in 3.x.
I know this is somewhat ugly, but I didn't find a better workaround, and
compatibility to existing programs is important.
Some programs also read /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease. This can be worked
around in user space with mount --bind (and a mount namespace)
