Pull blk-mq irq/cpu mapping updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the block-irq topic branch for 4.9-rc. It's mostly from
Christoph, and it allows drivers to specify their own mappings, and
more importantly, to share the blk-mq mappings with the IRQ affinity
mappings. It's a good step towards making this work better out of the
box"* 'for-4.9/block-irq' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:
- various fixes and cleanups for request-based DM core
- add support for delaying the requeue of requests; used by DM
multipath when all paths have failed and 'queue_if_no_path' is
enabled- DM cache improvements to speedup the loading metadata and the writing
of the hint array- fix potential for a dm-crypt crash on device teardown
- remove dm_bufio_cond_resched() and just using cond_resched()
- change DM multipath to return a reservation conflict error
immediately; rather than failing the path and retrying (potentially
indefinitely)* tag 'dm-4.9-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: (24 commits)

Pull main rdma updates from Doug Ledford:
"This is the main pull request for the rdma stack this release. The
code has been through 0day and I had it tagged for linux-next testing
for a couple days.Summary:
- updates to mlx5
- updates to mlx4 (two conflicts, both minor and easily resolved)
- updates to iw_cxgb4 (one conflict, not so obvious to resolve,
proper resolution is to keep the code in cxgb4_main.c as it is in
Linus' tree as attach_uld was refactored and moved into
cxgb4_uld.c)- improvements to uAPI (moved vendor specific API elements to uAPI
area)- add hns-roce driver and hns and hns-roce ACPI reset support

Pull ARM SoC late DT updates from Arnd Bergmann:
"These updates have been kept in a separate branch mostly because they
rely on updates to the respective clk drivers to keep the shared
header files in sync.- The Renesas r8a7796 (R-Car M3-W) platform gets added, this is an
automotive SoC similar to the ⅹ8a7795 chip we already support, but
the dts changes rely on a clock driver change that has been merged
for v4.9 through the clk tree.- The Amlogic meson-gxbb (S905) platform gains support for a few
drivers merged through our tree, in particular the network and usb
driver changes are required and included here, and also the clk
tree changes.- The Allwinner platforms have seen a large-scale change to their clk
drivers and the dts file updates must come after that. This
includes the newly added Nextthing GR8 platform, which is derived
from sun5i/A13.- Some integrator (arm32) changes rely on clk driver changes.
- A single patch for lpc32xx has no such dependency but wasn't added
until just before the merge window"* tag 'armsoc-late' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc: (99 commits)

enable devices in existing machines, or to fix minor bugs. Notably, an
ongoing treewide effort to fix warnings caused by an update to the

Pull ARM SoC cleanups from Arnd Bergmann:
"The cleanups for v4.9 are a little larger that usual, but thankfully
that is almost exclusively due to removing a significant number of
files that have become obsolete after the still ongoing conversion of
old board files to devicetree.- for mach-omap2, which is still the largest platform in arch/arm/,
the conversion to DT is finally complete after the Nokia N900 is
now fully supported there, along with the omap3 LDP, and we can
remove those two board files. If no regressions are found, another
large cleanup for the platform will happen as a follow-up, removing
dead code and restructuring the platform based on being DT-only.- In mach-imx, similar work is ongoing, but has not come that far.
This time, we remove the obsolete board file for the i.MX1
generation, which like i.MX25, i.MX5, i.MX6, and i.MX7 is now
DT-only. The remaining board files are for i.MX2 and i.MX3 machines
based on old ARM926 or ARM1136 cores that should work with DT in
principle.- realview has just been converted from board files to DT, and a lot
of code gets removed in the process. This is the last
ARM/Keil/Versatile derived platform that was still using board
files, the other ones being integrator, versatile and vexpress. We
can probably merge the remaining code into a single directory in
the near future.- clps711x had completed the conversion in v4.8, but we accidentally
left the files in place that should have been deleted then"* tag 'armsoc-cleanup' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc: (21 commits)

If a device tree specifies a preferred device for kernel console output
via the stdout-path or linux,stdout-path chosen node properties or the
stdout alias then the kernel ought to honor it & output the kernel
console to that device. As it stands, this isn't the case. Whilst we
parse the stdout-path properties & set an of_stdout variable from
of_alias_scan(), and use that from of_console_check() to determine
whether to add a console device as a preferred console whilst
registering it, we also prefer the first registered console if no other
has been selected at the time of its registration.This means that if a console other than the one the device tree selects
via stdout-path is registered first, we will switch to using it & when
the stdout-path console is later registered the call to
add_preferred_console() via of_console_check() is too late to do
anything useful. In practice this seems to mean that we switch to the
dummy console device fairly early & see no further console output:Console: colour dummy device 80x25
console [tty0] enabled
bootconsole [ns16550a0] disabledFix this by not automatically preferring the first registered console if
one is specified by the device tree. This allows consoles to be
registered but not enabled, and once the driver for the console selected
by stdout-path calls of_console_check() the driver will be added to the
list of preferred consoles before any other console has been enabled.
When that console is then registered via register_console() it will be
enabled as expected.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160809151937.26118-1-paul.burton@imgtec.com

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1472487169-14923-5-git-send-email-cmetcalf@mellanox.com

Previously tile was rolling its own method of capturing backtrace data
in the NMI handlers, but it was relying on running printk() from the NMI
handler, which is not always safe. So adopt the nmi_backtrace model
(with the new cpumask extension) instead.So we can call the nmi_backtrace code directly from the nmi handler,
move the nmi_enter()/exit() into the top-level tile NMI handler.The semantics of the routine change slightly since it is now synchronous
with the remote cores completing the backtraces. Previously it was
asynchronous, but with protection to avoid starting a new remote
backtrace if the old one was still in progress.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1472487169-14923-4-git-send-email-cmetcalf@mellanox.com

Currently on arm there is code that checks whether it should call
dump_stack() explicitly, to avoid trying to raise an NMI when the
current context is not preemptible by the backtrace IPI. Similarly, the
forthcoming arch/tile support uses an IPI mechanism that does not
support generating an NMI to self.Accordingly, move the code that guards this case into the generic
mechanism, and invoke it unconditionally whenever we want a backtrace of
the current cpu. It seems plausible that in all cases, dump_stack()
will generate better information than generating a stack from the NMI
handler. The register state will be missing, but that state is likely
not particularly helpful in any case.Or, if we think it is helpful, we should be capturing and emitting the
current register state in all cases when regs == NULL is passed to
nmi_cpu_backtrace().Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1472487169-14923-3-git-send-email-cmetcalf@mellanox.com

Patch series "improvements to the nmi_backtrace code" v9.
This patch series modifies the trigger_xxx_backtrace() NMI-based remote
backtracing code to make it more flexible, and makes a few small
improvements along the way.The motivation comes from the task isolation code, where there are
scenarios where we want to be able to diagnose a case where some cpu is
about to interrupt a task-isolated cpu. It can be helpful to see both
where the interrupting cpu is, and also an approximation of where the
cpu that is being interrupted is. The nmi_backtrace framework allows us
to discover the stack of the interrupted cpu.I've tested that the change works as desired on tile, and build-tested
x86, arm, mips, and sparc64. For x86 I confirmed that the generic
cpuidle stuff as well as the architecture-specific routines are in the
new cpuidle section. For arm, mips, and sparc I just build-tested it
and made sure the generic cpuidle routines were in the new cpuidle
section, but I didn't attempt to figure out which the platform-specific
idle routines might be. That might be more usefully done by someone
with platform experience in follow-up patches.This patch (of 4):
Currently you can only request a backtrace of either all cpus, or all
cpus but yourself. It can also be helpful to request a remote backtrace
of a single cpu, and since we want that, the logical extension is to
support a cpumask as the underlying primitive.This change modifies the existing lib/nmi_backtrace.c code to take a
cpumask as its basic primitive, and modifies the linux/nmi.h code to use
the new "cpumask" method instead.The existing clients of nmi_backtrace (arm and x86) are converted to
using the new cpumask approach in this change.The other users of the backtracing API (sparc64 and mips) are converted
to use the cpumask approach rather than the all/allbutself approach.
The mips code ignored the "include_self" boolean but with this change it
will now also dump a local backtrace if requested.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1472487169-14923-2-git-send-email-cmetcalf@mellanox.com

}It failed as some threads can not find the memory region in
"/proc/self/smaps" which is allocated in the main processIt is caused by proc fs which uses 'file->version' to indicate the VMA that
is the last one has already been handled by read() system call. When the
next read() issues, it uses the 'version' to find the VMA, then the next
VMA is what we want to handle, the related code is as follows:if (last_addr) {
vma = find_vma(mm, last_addr);
if (vma && (vma = m_next_vma(priv, vma)))
return vma;
}However, VMA will be lost if the last VMA is gone, e.g:
The process VMA list is A->B->C->D
CPU 0 CPU 1
read() system call
handle VMA B
version = B
return to userspaceunmap VMA B
issue read() again to continue to get
the region info
find_vma(version) will get VMA C
m_next_vma(C) will get VMA D
handle D
!!! VMA C is lost !!!In order to fix this bug, we make 'file->version' indicate the end address
of the current VMA. m_start will then look up a vma which with vma_start
< last_vm_end and moves on to the next vma if we found the same or an
overlapping vma. This will guarantee that we will not miss an exclusive
vma but we can still miss one if the previous vma was shrunk. This is
acceptable because guaranteeing "never miss a vma" is simply not feasible.
User has to cope with some inconsistencies if the file is not read in one
go.[mhocko@suse.com: changelog fixes]

In changing from checking ptrace_may_access(p, PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS)
to capable(CAP_SYS_NICE), I missed that ptrace_my_access succeeds when p

privileges to modify a processes timerslack, it needlessly restricted a
task modifying its own timerslack via the proc//timerslack_ns

When an interface to allow a task to change another tasks timerslack was
first proposed, it was suggested that something greater then
CAP_SYS_NICE would be needed, as a task could be delayed further then
what normally could be done with nice adjustments.So CAP_SYS_PTRACE was adopted instead for what became the
/proc//timerslack_ns interface. However, for Android (where this
feature originates), giving the system_server CAP_SYS_PTRACE would allow
it to observe and modify all tasks memory. This is considered too high
a privilege level for only needing to change the timerslack.After some discussion, it was realized that a CAP_SYS_NICE process can
set a task as SCHED_FIFO, so they could fork some spinning processes and
set them all SCHED_FIFO 99, in effect delaying all other tasks for an
infinite amount of time.So as a CAP_SYS_NICE task can already cause trouble for other tasks,
using it as a required capability for accessing and modifying
/proc//timerslack_ns seems sufficient.Thus, this patch loosens the capability requirements to CAP_SYS_NICE and
removes CAP_SYS_PTRACE, simplifying some of the code flow as well.This is technically an ABI change, but as the feature just landed in
4.6, I suspect no one is yet using it.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1469132667-17377-1-git-send-email-john.stultz@linaro.org

^^^^^^^^^^^vsnprintf() is slow because:
1. format_decode() is busy looking for format specifier: 2 branches
per character (not in this case, but in others)2. approximately million branches while parsing format mini language
and everywhere3. just look at what string() does /proc/vmstat is good case because
most of its content are stringsLink: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160806125455.GA1187@p183.telecom.by

This came to light when implementing native 64-bit atomics for ARCv2.
The atomic64 self-test code uses CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ATOMIC64_DEC_IF_POSITIVE
to check whether atomic64_dec_if_positive() is available. It seems it
was needed when not every arch defined it. However as of current code
the Kconfig option seems needless- for CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64 it is auto-enabled in lib/Kconfig and a
generic definition of API is present lib/atomic64.c
- arches with native 64-bit atomics select it in arch/*/Kconfig and
define the API in their headersSo I see no point in keeping the Kconfig option
Compile tested for:
- blackfin (CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64)
- x86 (!CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64)
- ia64Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1473703083-8625-3-git-send-email-vgupta@synopsys.com

The macro PAGE_ALIGNED() is prone to cause error because it doesn't
follow convention to parenthesize parameter @addr within macro body, for
example unsigned long *ptr = kmalloc(...); PAGE_ALIGNED(ptr + 16); for
the left parameter of macro IS_ALIGNED(), (unsigned long)(ptr + 16) is
desired but the actual one is (unsigned long)ptr + 16.It is fixed by simply canonicalizing macro PAGE_ALIGNED() definition.
