Pull ARM SoC platform changes from Olof Johansson:
"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"

"As a preparation for Andi Kleen's LTO patchset (link time
optimizations using GCC's -flto which build time optimization has
steadily increased in quality over the past few years and might
eventually be usable for the kernel too) this tree includes a handful
of preparatory patches that make function calling convention
annotations consistent again:
- Mark every function without arguments (or 64bit only) that is used
by assembly code with asmlinkage()
- Mark every function with parameters or variables that is used by
assembly code as __visible.
For the vanilla kernel this has documentation, consistency and
debuggability advantages, for the time being"

Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
"As a first remark I'd like to point out that the obsolete '-f'
(--force) option, which has not done anything for several releases,
has been removed from 'perf record' and related utilities. Everyone
please update muscle memory accordingly! :-)
Main changes on the perf kernel side:
- Performance optimizations:
. for trace events, by Steve Rostedt.
. for time values, by Peter Zijlstra
- New hardware support:
. for Intel Silvermont (22nm Atom) CPUs, by Zheng Yan
. for Intel SNB-EP uncore PMUs, by Zheng Yan
- Enhanced hardware support:
. for Intel uncore PMUs: add filter support for QPI boxes, by Zheng Yan
- Core perf events code enhancements and fixes:
. for full-nohz feature handling, by Frederic Weisbecker
. for group events, by Jiri Olsa
. for call chains, by Frederic Weisbecker
. for event stream parsing, by Adrian Hunter
- New ABI details:
. Add attr->mmap2 attribute, by Stephane Eranian
. Add PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID ioctl to return event ID, by Jiri Olsa
. Export u64 time_zero on the mmap header page to allow TSC
calculation, by Adrian Hunter
. Add dummy software event, by Adrian Hunter.
. Add a new PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER to make samples always
parseable, by Adrian Hunter.

- Code cleanups and refactorings:
. for nohz-full, by Frederic Weisbecker
. for group events, by Jiri Olsa
- Documentation updates:
. for perf_event_type, by Peter Zijlstra
Main changes on the perf tooling side (some of these tooling changes
utilize the above kernel side changes):
- Lots of 'perf trace' enhancements:
. Make 'perf trace' command line arguments consistent with
'perf record', by David Ahern.
. Allow specifying syscalls a la strace, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
. Add --verbose and -o/--output options, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
. Support ! in -e expressions, to filter a list of syscalls,
by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
. Arg formatting improvements to allow masking arguments in
syscalls such as futex and open, where the some arguments are
ignored and thus should not be printed depending on other args,
by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
. Beautify futex open, openat, open_by_handle_at, lseek and futex
syscalls, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
. Add option to analyze events in a file versus live, so that
one can do:
[root@zoo ~]# perf record -a -e raw_syscalls:* sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 25.150 MB perf.data (~1098836 samples) ]
[root@zoo ~]# perf trace -i perf.data -e futex --duration 1
17.799 ( 1.020 ms): 7127 futex(uaddr: 0x7fff3f6c6674, op: 393, val: 1, utime: 0x7fff3f6c6470, ua
113.344 (95.429 ms): 7127 futex(uaddr: 0x7fff3f6c6674, op: 393, val: 1, utime: 0x7fff3f6c6470, uaddr2: 0x7fff3f6c6648, val3: 4294967

. Introduce better formatting of syscall arguments, including so
far beautifiers for mmap, madvise, syscall return values,
by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
. Handle HUGEPAGE defines in the mmap beautifier, by David Ahern.
- 'perf report/top' enhancements:
. Do annotation using /proc/kcore and /proc/kallsyms when
available, removing the forced need for a vmlinux file kernel
assembly annotation. This also improves this use case because
vmlinux has just the initial kernel image, not what is actually
in use after various code patchings by things like alternatives.
By Adrian Hunter.
. Add --ignore-callees=<regex> option to collapse undesired parts
of call graphs, by Greg Price.

David Ahern.
. Do not require /lib/modules/* on a guest, by Jason Wessel.
- 'perf script' enhancements:
. Fix symbol offset computation for some dsos, by David Ahern.
. Fix named threads support, by David Ahern.
. Don't install scripting files files when perl/python support
is disabled, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

kallsyms" 'perf test' entry, related to the /proc/kcore
annotation feature. By Adrian Hunter.
. Add sample parsing test, by Adrian Hunter.
. Add test for reading object code, by Adrian Hunter.
. Add attr record group sampling test, by Jiri Olsa.
. Misc testing infrastructure improvements and other details,
by Jiri Olsa.
- 'perf list' enhancements:
. Skip unsupported hardware events, by Namhyung Kim.
. List pmu events, by Andi Kleen.
- 'perf diff' enhancements:
. Add support for more than two files comparison, by Jiri Olsa.
- 'perf sched' enhancements:
. Various improvements, including removing reliance on some
scheduler tracepoints that provide the same information as the
PERF_RECORD_{FORK,EXIT} events. By David Ahern.
. Remove odd build stall by moving a large struct initialization
from a local variable to a global one, by Namhyung Kim.
- 'perf stat' enhancements:

to sample while the other events have just its values read,
by Jiri Olsa.
. Add support for a new modifier "D", which requests that the
event, or group of events, be pinned to the PMU.
By Michael Ellerman.
. Support callchain sorting based on addresses, by Andi Kleen
. Prep work for multi perf data file storage, by Jiri Olsa.
. libtraceevent cleanups, by Namhyung Kim.
And lots and lots of other fixes and code reorganizations that did not
make it into the list, see the shortlog, diffstat and the Git log for
details!"

Silvermont (22nm Atom) has two offcore response configuration MSRs,
unlike other Intel CPU, its event code for MSR_OFFCORE_RSP_1 is 0x02b7.
To avoid complicating intel_fixup_er(), use INTEL_UEVENT_EXTRA_REG to
define MSR_OFFCORE_RSP_X. So intel_fixup_er() can find the event code
for OFFCORE_RSP_N by x86_pmu.extra_regs[N].event.

For performance reasons, when SMAP is in use, SMAP is left open for an
entire put_user_try { ... } put_user_catch(); block, however, calling
__put_user() in the middle of that block will close SMAP as the
STAC..CLAC constructs intentionally do not nest.
Furthermore, using __put_user() rather than put_user_ex() here is bad
for performance.
Thus, introduce new [compat_]save_altstack_ex() helpers that replace
__[compat_]save_altstack() for x86, being currently the only
architecture which supports put_user_try { ... } put_user_catch().

than once
When programming ioapic pinX more than once, current code
does not check whether the later attr (trigger & polarity) is the
same as the former or not.
This causes broken semantics which can be observed in a qemu q35
machine, where ioapic's ioredtbl[x] can never be set as low-active,
even if the hpet driver registered it.
And hpet driver may share a high-level active IRQ line with other
devices. So in qemu, when hpet-dev asserts low-level as kernel
expects, the kernel has no response.
With this patch, we can observe an ioredtbl[x] set as low-active
for hpet.
Fix it by reporting -EBUSY to the caller, when attr is different.

This reverts commit df54d6fa54275ce59660453e29d1228c2b45a826.
The commit isn't necessarily wrong, but because it recalculates the
random mmap_base every time, it seems to confuse user memory allocators
that expect contiguous mmap allocations even when the mmap address isn't
specified.
In particular, the MATLAB Java runtime seems to be unhappy. See
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60774
So we'll want to apply the random offset only once, and Radu has a patch
for that. Revert this older commit in order to apply the other one.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/swarren/linux-tegra into next/soc
From: Stephen Warren:
ARM: tegra: core SoC enhancements for 3.12
This branch includes a number of enhancements to core SoC support for
Tegra devices. The major new features are:
* Adds a new CPU-power-gated cpuidle state for Tegra114.
* Adds initial system suspend support for Tegra114, initially supporting
just CPU-power-gating during suspend.
* Adds "LP1" suspend mode support for all of Tegra20/30/114. This mode
both gates CPU power, and places the DRAM into self-refresh mode.
* A new DT-driven PCIe driver to Tegra20/30. The driver is also moved
from arch/arm/mach-tegra/ to drivers/pci/host/.
The PCIe driver work depends on the following tag from Thomas Petazzoni:
git://git.infradead.org/linux-mvebu.git mis-3.12.2
... which is merged into the middle of this pull request.

Prevent crash_kexec() from deadlocking on ioapic_lock. When
crash_kexec() is executed on a CPU, the CPU will take ioapic_lock
in disable_IO_APIC(). So if the cpu gets an NMI while locking
ioapic_lock, a deadlock will happen.
In this patch, ioapic_lock is zapped/initialized before disable_IO_APIC().
You can reproduce this deadlock the following way:
1. Add mdelay(1000) after raw_spin_lock_irqsave() in
native_ioapic_set_affinity()@arch/x86/kernel/apic/io_apic.c
Although the deadlock can occur without this modification, it will increase
the potential of the deadlock problem.
2. Build and install the kernel
3. Set up the OS which will run panic() and kexec when NMI is injected
# echo "kernel.unknown_nmi_panic=1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
# vim /etc/default/grub
add "nmi_watchdog=0 crashkernel=256M" in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line
# grub2-mkconfig
4. Reboot the OS
5. Run following command for each vcpu on the guest
# while true; do echo <CPU num> > /proc/irq/<IO-APIC-edge or IO-APIC-fasteoi>/smp_affinitity; done;
By running this command, cpus will get ioapic_lock for setting affinity.
6. Inject NMI (push a dump button or execute 'virsh inject-nmi <domain>' if you
use VM). After injecting NMI, panic() is called in an nmi-handler context.
Then, kexec will normally run in panic(), but the operation will be stopped
by deadlock on ioapic_lock in crash_kexec()->machine_crash_shutdown()->
native_machine_crash_shutdown()->disable_IO_APIC()->clear_IO_APIC()->
clear_IO_APIC_pin()->ioapic_read_entry().

load_microcode_amd() (and the helper it is using) should not have an
cpu parameter. The microcode loading does not depend on the CPU wrt the
patches loaded since they will end up in a global list for all CPUs
anyway.
The change from cpu to x86family in load_microcode_amd()
now allows to drop the code messing with cpu_data(cpu) from
collect_cpu_info_amd_early(), which is wrong anyway because at that
point the per-cpu cpu_info is not yet setup (These values would later be
overwritten by smp_store_boot_cpu_info() / smp_store_cpu_info()).
Fold the rest of collect_cpu_info_amd_early() into load_ucode_amd_ap(),
because its only used at one place and without the cpuinfo_x86 accesses
it was not much left.

cpuinfo_x86
cpu_has_amd_erratum() is buggy, because it uses the per-cpu cpu_info
before it is filled by smp_store_boot_cpu_info() / smp_store_cpu_info().
If early microcode loading is enabled its collect_cpu_info_amd_early()
will fill ->x86 and so the fallback to boot_cpu_data is not used. But
->x86_vendor was not filled and is still X86_VENDOR_INTEL resulting in
no errata fixes getting applied and my system hangs on boot.
Using cpu_info in cpu_has_amd_erratum() is wrong anyway: its only
caller init_amd() will have a struct cpuinfo_x86 as parameter and the
set_cpu_bug() that is controlled by cpu_has_amd_erratum() also only uses
that struct.
So pass the struct cpuinfo_x86 from init_amd() to cpu_has_amd_erratum()
and the broken fallback can be dropped.

Until now, the MSI architecture-specific functions could be overloaded
using a fairly complex set of #define and compile-time
conditionals. In order to prepare for the introduction of the msi_chip
infrastructure, it is desirable to switch all those functions to use
the 'weak' mechanism. This commit converts all the architectures that
were overidding those MSI functions to use the new strategy.
Note that we keep two separate, non-weak, functions
default_teardown_msi_irqs() and default_restore_msi_irqs() for the
default behavior of the arch_teardown_msi_irqs() and
arch_restore_msi_irqs(), as the default behavior is needed by x86 PCI
code.

Maintain a flag in the LSB of the ticket lock tail which indicates
whether anyone is in the lock slowpath and may need kicking when
the current holder unlocks. The flags are set when the first locker
enters the slowpath, and cleared when unlocking to an empty queue (ie,
no contention).
In the specific implementation of lock_spinning(), make sure to set
the slowpath flags on the lock just before blocking. We must do
this before the last-chance pickup test to prevent a deadlock
with the unlocker:
Unlocker Locker
test for lock pickup
-> fail
unlock
test slowpath
-> false
set slowpath flags
block
Whereas this works in any ordering:
Unlocker Locker
set slowpath flags
test for lock pickup
-> fail
block
unlock
test slowpath
-> true, kick
If the unlocker finds that the lock has the slowpath flag set but it is
actually uncontended (ie, head == tail, so nobody is waiting), then it
clears the slowpath flag.
The unlock code uses a locked add to update the head counter. This also
acts as a full memory barrier so that its safe to subsequently
read back the slowflag state, knowing that the updated lock is visible
to the other CPUs. If it were an unlocked add, then the flag read may
just be forwarded from the store buffer before it was visible to the other
CPUs, which could result in a deadlock.
Unfortunately this means we need to do a locked instruction when
unlocking with PV ticketlocks. However, if PV ticketlocks are not
enabled, then the old non-locked "add" is the only unlocking code.
Note: this code relies on gcc making sure that unlikely() code is out of
line of the fastpath, which only happens when OPTIMIZE_SIZE=n. If it
doesn't the generated code isn't too bad, but its definitely suboptimal.
Thanks to Srivatsa Vaddagiri for providing a bugfix to the original
version of this change, which has been folded in.

Although the lock_spinning calls in the spinlock code are on the
uncommon path, their presence can cause the compiler to generate many
more register save/restores in the function pre/postamble, which is in
the fast path. To avoid this, convert it to using the pvops callee-save
calling convention, which defers all the save/restores until the actual
function is called, keeping the fastpath clean.

Rather than outright replacing the entire spinlock implementation in
order to paravirtualize it, keep the ticket lock implementation but add
a couple of pvops hooks on the slow patch (long spin on lock, unlocking
a contended lock).
Ticket locks have a number of nice properties, but they also have some
surprising behaviours in virtual environments. They enforce a strict
FIFO ordering on cpus trying to take a lock; however, if the hypervisor
scheduler does not schedule the cpus in the correct order, the system can
waste a huge amount of time spinning until the next cpu can take the lock.
(See Thomas Friebel's talk "Prevent Guests from Spinning Around"
http://www.xen.org/files/xensummitboston08/LHP.pdf for more details.)
To address this, we add two hooks:
- __ticket_spin_lock which is called after the cpu has been
spinning on the lock for a significant number of iterations but has
failed to take the lock (presumably because the cpu holding the lock
has been descheduled). The lock_spinning pvop is expected to block
the cpu until it has been kicked by the current lock holder.
- __ticket_spin_unlock, which on releasing a contended lock
(there are more cpus with tail tickets), it looks to see if the next
cpu is blocked and wakes it if so.
When compiled with CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS disabled, a set of stub
functions causes all the extra code to go away.
