There are two code paths how page with pmd page table can be freed:
pmd_free() and pmd_free_tlb().I've missed the second one and didn't add page table destructor call

Vince's perf-trinity fuzzer found yet another 'interesting' problem.
When we sample the irq_work_exit tracepoint with period==1 (or
PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD) and we add an fasync SIGNAL handler we create an
infinite event generation loop:,->
| irq_work_exit() ->
| trace_irq_work_exit() ->
| ...
| __perf_event_overflow() -> (due to fasync)
| irq_work_queue() -> (irq_work_list must be empty)
'--------- arch_irq_work_raise()Similar things can happen due to regular poll() wakeups if we exceed
the ring-buffer wakeup watermark, or have an event_limit.To avoid this, dis-allow sampling this particular tracepoint.
In order to achieve this, create a special perf_perm function pointer
for each event and call this (when set) on trying to create a
tracepoint perf event.[ roasted: use expr... to allow for ',' in your expression ]

arch/um/defconfig only lists one default configuration, and that applies
only to the i386 architecture. Replace it with two minimal
configuration files generated using `make savedefconfig`:i386_defconfig and x86_64_defconfig
The build scripts now require two updates:
1. um's Kconfig (arch/x86/um/Kconfig) should specify an ARCH_DEFCONFIG
section explicitly pointing to these scripts if the required
variables are set. Take care to remove the DEFCONFIG_LIST section
defined in the included file arch/um/Kconfig.common.2. um's Makefile (arch/um/Makefile) should set KBUILD_DEFCONFIG properly
for the top-level Makefile to pick up. Copy the logic in
arch/x86/Makefile to properly pick the defconfig file depending on
the actual architecture; except we're working with $SUBARCH here,
instead of $ARCH.Now, you can do:
$ ARCH=um make defconfig
$ ARCH=um makeand successfully build User-Mode Linux on an x86_64 box in default
configuration.Cc: Richard Weinberger

Pull Xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"This has tons of fixes and two major features which are concentrated
around the Xen SWIOTLB library.The short is that the tracing facility (just one function) has
been added to SWIOTLB to make it easier to track I/O progress.
Additionally under Xen and ARM (32 & 64) the Xen-SWIOTLB driver
"is used to translate physical to machine and machine to physical
addresses of foreign[guest] pages for DMA operations" (Stefano) when
booting under hardware without proper IOMMU.There are also bug-fixes, cleanups, compile warning fixes, etc.
The commit times for some of the commits is a bit fresh - that is b/c
we wanted to make sure we have the Ack's from the ARM folks - which
with the string of back-to-back conferences took a bit of time. Rest
assured - the code has been stewing in #linux-next for some time.Features:
- SWIOTLB has tracing added when doing bounce buffer.
- Xen ARM/ARM64 can use Xen-SWIOTLB. This work allows Linux to
safely program real devices for DMA operations when running as a
guest on Xen on ARM, without IOMMU support. [*1]
- xen_raw_printk works with PVHVM guests if needed.Bug-fixes:
- Make memory ballooning work under HVM with large MMIO region.
- Inform hypervisor of MCFG regions found in ACPI DSDT.
- Remove deprecated IRQF_DISABLED.
- Remove deprecated __cpuinit.[*1]:
"On arm and arm64 all Xen guests, including dom0, run with second
stage translation enabled. As a consequence when dom0 programs a
device for a DMA operation is going to use (pseudo) physical
addresses instead machine addresses. This work introduces two trees
to track physical to machine and machine to physical mappings of
foreign pages. Local pages are assumed mapped 1:1 (physical address
== machine address). It enables the SWIOTLB-Xen driver on ARM and
ARM64, so that Linux can translate physical addresses to machine
addresses for dma operations when necessary. " (Stefano)"* tag 'stable/for-linus-3.13-rc0-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip: (32 commits)

In split page table lock case, we embed spinlock_t into struct page.
For obvious reason, we don't want to increase size of struct page if
spinlock_t is too big, like with DEBUG_SPINLOCK or DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC or
on -rt kernel. So we disable split page table lock, if spinlock_t is
too big.This patchset allows to allocate the lock dynamically if spinlock_t is
big. In this page->ptl is used to store pointer to spinlock instead of
spinlock itself. It costs additional cache line for indirect access,
but fix page fault scalability for multi-threaded applications.LOCK_STAT depends on DEBUG_SPINLOCK, so on current kernel enabling
LOCK_STAT to analyse scalability issues breaks scalability. ;)The patchset mostly fixes this. Results for ./thp_memscale -c 80 -b 512M

baseline, CONFIG_LOCK_STAT=y: 53.890567123 seconds time elapsed
patched, no CONFIG_LOCK_STAT: 8.852250368 seconds time elapsed
patched, CONFIG_LOCK_STAT=y: 11.069770759 seconds time elapsedPatch count is scary, but most of them trivial. Overview:
Patches 1-4 Few bug fixes. No dependencies to other patches.
Probably should applied as soon as possible.Patch 5 Changes signature of pgtable_page_ctor(). We will use it
for dynamic lock allocation, so it can fail.Patches 6-8 Add missing constructor/destructor calls on few archs.
It's fixes NR_PAGETABLE accounting and prepare to use
split ptl.Patches 9-33 Add pgtable_page_ctor() fail handling to all archs.
Patches 34 Finally adds support of dynamically-allocated page->pte.
Also contains documentation for split page table lock.This patch (of 34):
I've missed that we preallocate few pmds on pgd_alloc() if X86_PAE
enabled. Let's add missed constructor/destructor calls.I haven't noticed it during testing since prep_new_page() clears
page->mapping and therefore page->ptl. It's effectively equal to
spin_lock_init(&page->ptl).Signed-off-by: Kirill A. Shutemov

Modify struct acpi_dev_node to contain a pointer to struct acpi_device
associated with the given device object (that is, its ACPI companion
device) instead of an ACPI handle corresponding to it. Introduce two
new macros for manipulating that pointer in a CONFIG_ACPI-safe way,
ACPI_COMPANION() and ACPI_COMPANION_SET(), and rework the
ACPI_HANDLE() macro to take the above changes into account.
Drop the ACPI_HANDLE_SET() macro entirely and rework its users to
use ACPI_COMPANION_SET() instead. For some of them who used to
pass the result of acpi_get_child() directly to ACPI_HANDLE_SET()
introduce a helper routine acpi_preset_companion() doing an
equivalent thing.The main motivation for doing this is that there are things
represented by struct acpi_device objects that don't have valid
ACPI handles (so called fixed ACPI hardware features, such as
power and sleep buttons) and we would like to create platform
device objects for them and "glue" them to their ACPI companions
in the usual way (which currently is impossible due to the
lack of valid ACPI handles). However, there are more reasons
why it may be useful.First, struct acpi_device pointers allow of much better type checking
than void pointers which are ACPI handles, so it should be more
difficult to write buggy code using modified struct acpi_dev_node
and the new macros. Second, the change should help to reduce (over
time) the number of places in which the result of ACPI_HANDLE() is
passed to acpi_bus_get_device() in order to obtain a pointer to the
struct acpi_device associated with the given "physical" device,
because now that pointer is returned by ACPI_COMPANION() directly.
Finally, the change should make it easier to write generic code that
will build both for CONFIG_ACPI set and unset without adding explicit
compiler directives to it.Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

If a nested guest does a NM fault but its CR0 doesn't contain the TS
flag (because it was already cleared by the guest with L1 aid) then we
have to activate FPU ourselves in L0 and then continue to L2. If TS flag
is set then we fallback on the previous behavior, forward the fault to
L1 if it asked for.Signed-off-by: Anthoine Bourgeois

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
1) The addition of nftables. No longer will we need protocol aware
firewall filtering modules, it can all live in userspace.At the core of nftables is a, for lack of a better term, virtual
machine that executes byte codes to inspect packet or metadata
(arriving interface index, etc.) and make verdict decisions.Besides support for loading packet contents and comparing them, the
interpreter supports lookups in various datastructures as
fundamental operations. For example sets are supports, and
therefore one could create a set of whitelist IP address entries
which have ACCEPT verdicts attached to them, and use the appropriate
byte codes to do such lookups.Since the interpreted code is composed in userspace, userspace can
do things like optimize things before giving it to the kernel.Another major improvement is the capability of atomically updating
portions of the ruleset. In the existing netfilter implementation,
one has to update the entire rule set in order to make a change and
this is very expensive.Userspace tools exist to create nftables rules using existing
netfilter rule sets, but both kernel implementations will need to
co-exist for quite some time as we transition from the old to the
new stuff.Kudos to Patrick McHardy, Pablo Neira Ayuso, and others who have
worked so hard on this.2) Daniel Borkmann and Hannes Frederic Sowa made several improvements
to our pseudo-random number generator, mostly used for things like
UDP port randomization and netfitler, amongst other things.In particular the taus88 generater is updated to taus113, and test
cases are added.3) Support 64-bit rates in HTB and TBF schedulers, from Eric Dumazet
and Yang Yingliang.4) Add support for new 577xx tigon3 chips to tg3 driver, from Nithin
Sujir.5) Fix two fatal flaws in TCP dynamic right sizing, from Eric Dumazet,
Neal Cardwell, and Yuchung Cheng.6) Allow IP_TOS and IP_TTL to be specified in sendmsg() ancillary
control message data, much like other socket option attributes.
From Francesco Fusco.7) Allow applications to specify a cap on the rate computed
automatically by the kernel for pacing flows, via a new
SO_MAX_PACING_RATE socket option. From Eric Dumazet.8) Make the initial autotuned send buffer sizing in TCP more closely
reflect actual needs, from Eric Dumazet.9) Currently early socket demux only happens for TCP sockets, but we
can do it for connected UDP sockets too. Implementation from Shawn
Bohrer.10) Refactor inet socket demux with the goal of improving hash demux
performance for listening sockets. With the main goals being able
to use RCU lookups on even request sockets, and eliminating the
listening lock contention. From Eric Dumazet.11) The bonding layer has many demuxes in it's fast path, and an RCU
conversion was started back in 3.11, several changes here extend the
RCU usage to even more locations. From Ding Tianhong and Wang
Yufen, based upon suggestions by Nikolay Aleksandrov and Veaceslav
Falico.12) Allow stackability of segmentation offloads to, in particular, allow
segmentation offloading over tunnels. From Eric Dumazet.13) Significantly improve the handling of secret keys we input into the
various hash functions in the inet hashtables, TCP fast open, as
well as syncookies. From Hannes Frederic Sowa. The key fundamental
operation is "net_get_random_once()" which uses static keys.Hannes even extended this to ipv4/ipv6 fragmentation handling and
our generic flow dissector.14) The generic driver layer takes care now to set the driver data to
NULL on device removal, so it's no longer necessary for drivers to
explicitly set it to NULL any more. Many drivers have been cleaned
up in this way, from Jingoo Han.15) Add a BPF based packet scheduler classifier, from Daniel Borkmann.
16) Improve CRC32 interfaces and generic SKB checksum iterators so that
SCTP's checksumming can more cleanly be handled. Also from Daniel
Borkmann.17) Add a new PMTU discovery mode, IP_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE, which forces
using the interface MTU value. This helps avoid PMTU attacks,
particularly on DNS servers. From Hannes Frederic Sowa.18) Use generic XPS for transmit queue steering rather than internal
(re-)implementation in virtio-net. From Jason Wang.* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1622 commits)
