Grace-period initialization normally proceeds quite quickly, so
that it is very difficult to reproduce races against grace-period
initialization.  This commit therefore allows grace-period
initialization to be artificially slowed down, increasing
race-reproduction probability.  A pair of new Kconfig parameters are
provided, CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT to enable the slowdowns, and
CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY to specify the number of jiffies
of slowdown to apply.  A boot-time parameter named rcutree.gp_init_delay
allows boot-time delay to be specified.  By default, no delay will be
applied even if CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT is set.

If all CPUs have passed through quiescent states, then stalls might be
due to starvation of the grace-period kthread or to failure to propagate
the quiescent states up the rcu_node combining tree.  The current stall
warning messages do not differentiate, so this commit adds a printout
of the root rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field.

Currently, both rcu_cleanup_dead_cpu() and rcu_send_cbs_to_orphanage()
initialize the outgoing CPU's callback list.  However, only
rcu_cleanup_dead_cpu() invokes rcu_send_cbs_to_orphanage(), and
it does so unconditionally, which means that only one of these
initializations is required.  This commit therefore consolidates the
callback-list initialization with the rest of the callback handling in
rcu_send_cbs_to_orphanage().

This commit removes the open-coded CPU-offline notification with new
common code.  Among other things, this change avoids calling scheduler
code using RCU from an offline CPU that RCU is ignoring.  It also allows
Xen to notice at online time that the CPU did not go offline correctly.
Note that Xen has the surviving CPU carry out some cleanup operations,
so if the surviving CPU times out, these cleanup operations might have
been carried out while the outgoing CPU was still running.  It might
therefore be unwise to bring this CPU back online, and this commit
avoids doing so.

RCU ignores offlined CPUs, so they cannot safely run RCU read-side code.
(They -can- use SRCU, but not RCU.)  This means that any use of RCU
during or after the call to arch_cpu_idle_dead().  Unfortunately,
commit 2ed53c0d added a complete() call, which will contain RCU
read-side critical sections if there is a task waiting to be awakened.

Which, as it turns out, there almost never is.  In my qemu/KVM testing,
the to-be-awakened task is not yet asleep more than 99.5% of the time.
In current mainline, failure is even harder to reproduce, requiring a
virtualized environment that delays the outgoing CPU by at least three
jiffies between the time it exits its stop_machine() task at CPU_DYING
time and the time it calls arch_cpu_idle_dead() from the idle loop.
However, this problem really can occur, especially in virtualized
environments, and therefore really does need to be fixed

This suggests moving back to the polling loop, but using a much shorter
wait, with gentle exponential backoff instead of the old 100-millisecond
wait.  Most of the time, the loop will exit without waiting at all,
and almost all of the remaining uses will wait only five microseconds.
If the outgoing CPU is preempted, a loop will wait one jiffy, then
increase the wait by a factor of 11/10ths, rounding up.  As before, there
is a five-second timeout.

This commit therefore provides common-code infrastructure to do the
dying-to-surviving CPU handoff in a safe manner.  This code also
provides an indication at CPU-online of whether the CPU to be onlined
previously timed out on offline.  The new cpu_check_up_prepare() function
returns -EBUSY if this CPU previously took more than five seconds to
go offline, or -EAGAIN if it has not yet managed to go offline.  The
rationale for -EAGAIN is that it might still be preempted, so an additional
wait might well find it correctly offlined.  Architecture-specific code
can decide how to handle these conditions.  Systems in which CPUs take
themselves completely offline might respond to an -EBUSY return as if
it was a zero (success) return.  Systems in which the surviving CPU must
take some action might take it at this time, or might simply mark the
other CPU as unusable.

Note that architectures that take the easy way out and simply pass the
-EBUSY and -EAGAIN upwards will change the sysfs API.

.. after extensive statistical analysis of my G+ polling, I've come to
the inescapable conclusion that internet polls are bad.

Big surprise.

But "Hurr durr I'ma sheep" trounced "I like online polls" by a 62-to-38%
margin, in a poll that people weren't even supposed to participate in.
Who can argue with solid numbers like that? 5,796 votes from people who
can't even follow the most basic directions?

In contrast, "v4.0" beat out "v3.20" by a slimmer margin of 56-to-44%,
but with a total of 29,110 votes right now.

Now, arguably, that vote spread is only about 3,200 votes, which is less
than the almost six thousand votes that the "please ignore" poll got, so
it could be considered noise.

But hey, I asked, so I'll honor the votes.

I've noticed significant locking contention in memory reclaimer around
sb_lock inside grab_super_passive(). Grab_super_passive() is called from
two places: in icache/dcache shrinkers (function super_cache_scan) and
from writeback (function __writeback_inodes_wb). Both are required for
progress in memory allocator.

Grab_super_passive() acquires sb_lock to increment sb->s_count and check
sb->s_instances. It seems sb->s_umount locked for read is enough here:
super-block deactivation always runs under sb->s_umount locked for write.
Protecting super-block itself isn't a problem: in super_cache_scan() sb
is protected by shrinker_rwsem: it cannot be freed if its slab shrinkers
are still active. Inside writeback super-block comes from inode from bdi
writeback list under wb->list_lock.

This patch removes locking sb_lock and checks s_instances under s_umount:
generic_shutdown_super() unlinks it under sb->s_umount locked for write.
New variant is called trylock_super() and since it only locks semaphore,
callers must call up_read(&sb->s_umount) instead of drop_super(sb) when
they're done.

Fix up the following scripted S_ISDIR/S_ISREG/S_ISLNK conversions (or lack
thereof) in cachefiles:

 (1) Cachefiles mostly wants to use d_can_lookup() rather than d_is_dir() as
     it doesn't want to deal with automounts in its cache.

 (2) Coccinelle didn't find S_IS* expressions in ASSERT() statements in

Convert the following where appropriate:

 (1) S_ISLNK(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_symlink(dentry).

 (2) S_ISREG(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_reg(dentry).

 (3) S_ISDIR(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_dir(dentry).  This is actually more
     complicated than it appears as some calls should be converted to
     d_can_lookup() instead.  The difference is whether the directory in
     question is a real dir with a ->lookup op or whether it's a fake dir with
     a ->d_automount op.

In some circumstances, we can subsume checks for dentry->d_inode not being
NULL into this, provided we the code isn't in a filesystem that expects
d_inode to be NULL if the dirent really *is* negative (ie. if we're going to
use d_inode() rather than d_backing_inode() to get the inode pointer).

Note that the dentry type field may be set to something other than
DCACHE_MISS_TYPE when d_inode is NULL in the case of unionmount, where the VFS
manages the fall-through from a negative dentry to a lower layer.  In such a
case, the dentry type of the negative union dentry is set to the same as the
type of the lower dentry.

However, if you know d_inode is not NULL at the call site, then you can use
the d_is_xxx() functions even in a filesystem.

There is one further complication: a 0,0 chardev dentry may be labelled
DCACHE_WHITEOUT_TYPE rather than DCACHE_SPECIAL_TYPE.  Strictly, this was
intended for special directory entry types that don't have attached inodes.

The following perl+coccinelle script was used:

Introduce some function for getting the inode (and also the dentry) in an

The problem is that we have places where we need *both* the union dentry and
the lower source or workspace inode or dentry available, but we can only have
a handle on one of them.  Therefore we need to derive the handle to the other
from that.

The idea is to introduce an extra field in struct dentry that allows the union

  cpufreq driver, two cpuidle powernv driver updates related to Device
  Trees and a PNP subsystem cleanup that will allow us to get rid of
  some old ugliness going forward.  Also there is a new blacklist entry
  for the ACPI backlight code.

  Specifics:

   - Revert a recent ACPI LPSS driver commit that prevented the touchpad
     driver from loading on Dell XPS13 (Jarkko Nikula).

   - Make the ACPI LPSS driver disable the I2C controllers and deassert
     SPI host controllers resets at startup on Intel BayTrail and
     Braswell SoCs in case they have been left in wrong states by the
     platform firmware which then may casuse fatal controller driver
     failures during resume from hibernation (Mika Westerberg).

   - Make two recently added ACPI EC messages look better (Scot Doyle).

   - Reduce the printk level of a recently added debug message related
     to ACPI resources that may become noisy in some cases (Rafael J
     Wysocki).

   - Add a new ACPI backlight blacklist entry for Samsung Series 9
     (900X3C/900X3D/900X3E/900X4C/900X4D) laptops where the native
     backlight interface doesn't work while the ACPI based one does
     (Jens Reyer).

   - Make the PNP sybsystem's core code use __request_region() followed
     by __release_region() instead of __check_region() which then will
     allow us to get rid of the latter as it has no more users (Jakub
     Sitnicki).

   - Fix a build breakage and an issue with two __init functions that
     may be called after initialization in the s3c cpufreq driver (Arnd
     Bergmann).

   - Make the powernv cpuidle driver read target_residency values for
     idle states from a Device Tree (as we have the suitable DT bindings
     for that now) and improve the parsing of the powermgmt DT node in
     that driver (Preeti U Murthy)"
