  ia64: Use irqd_irq_disabled() instead of desc->status access

Thomas forgot to convert from irq to *irq_data.

Add a call to irq_get_irq_data() to fix that.

12ff414e2e ALSA: pcm: fix infinite loop in snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr0()
When period interrupts are disabled, snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr0() compares
the current time against the time estimated for the current hardware
pointer to detect xruns.  The somewhat fuzzy threshold in the while loop
makes it possible that hdelta becomes negative; the comparison being
done with unsigned types then makes the loop go through the entire 263
negative range, and, depending on the value, never reach an unsigned
value that is small enough to stop the loop.  Doing this with interrupts
disabled results in the machine locking up.

To prevent this, ensure that the loop condition uses signed types for
both operands so that the comparison is correctly done.

Many thanks to Kelly Anderson for debugging this.

a4dd99250d rcu: create new rcu_access_index() and use in mce
The MCE subsystem needs to sample an RCU-protected index outside of
any protection for that index.  If this was a pointer, we would use
rcu_access_pointer(), but there is no corresponding rcu_access_index().
This commit therefore creates an rcu_access_index() and applies it
to MCE.

c0bb9e45f3 kdump: Allow shrinking of kdump region to be overridden
On ppc64 the crashkernel region almost always overlaps an area of firmware.
This works fine except when using the sysfs interface to reduce the kdump
region. If we free the firmware area we are guaranteed to crash.

Rename free_reserved_phys_range to crash_free_reserved_phys_range and make
it a weak function so we can override it.

734796f123 powerpc/pmac/smp: Fix CPU hotplug crashes on some machines
On some machines that use i2c to synchronize the timebases (such
as PowerMac7,2/7,3 G5 machines), hotplug CPU would crash when
putting back a new CPU online due to the underlying i2c bus being
closed.

This uses the newly added bringup_done() callback to move the close
along with other housekeeping calls, and adds a CPU notifier to
re-open the i2c bus around subsequent hotplug operations

62cc67b9df powerpc/pmac/smp: Properly NAP offlined CPU on G5
The current code soft-disables, and then goes to NAP mode which
turns interrupts on. That means that if an interrupt occurs, we
will hit the masked interrupt code path which isn't what we want,
as it will return with EE off, which will either get us out of
NAP mode, or fail to enter it (according to spec).

Instead, let's just rely on the fact that it is safe to take
decrementer interrupts on an offline CPU and leave interrupts
enabled. We can also get rid of the special case in asm for
power4_cpu_offline_powersave() and just use power4_idle().

fa3f82c8bb powerpc/smp: soft-replugged CPUs must go back to start_secondary
Various thing are torn down when a CPU is hot-unplugged. That CPU
is expected to go back to start_secondary when re-plugged to re
initialize everything, such as clock sources, maps, ...

Some implementations just return from cpu_die() callback
in the idle loop when the CPU is "re-plugged". This is not enough.

We fix it using a little asm trampoline which resets the stack
and calls back into start_secondary as if we were all fresh from
boot. The trampoline already existed on ppc64, but we add it for
ppc32

ab711fe082 perf: Fix task context scheduling
Jiri reported:

 |
 | - once an event is created by sys_perf_event_open, task context
 |   is created and it stays even if the event is closed, until the
 |   task is finished ... thats what I see in code and I assume it's
 |   correct
 |
 | - when the task opens event, perf_sched_events jump label is
 |   incremented and following callbacks are started from scheduler
 |
 |         __perf_event_task_sched_in
 |         __perf_event_task_sched_out
 |
 |   These callback *in/out set/unset cpuctx->task_ctx value to the
 |   task context.
 |
 | - close is called on event on CPU 0:
 |         - the task is scheduled on CPU 0
 |         - __perf_event_task_sched_in is called
 |         - cpuctx->task_ctx is set
 |         - perf_sched_events jump label is decremented and == 0
 |         - __perf_event_task_sched_out is not called
 |         - cpuctx->task_ctx on CPU 0 stays set
 |
 | - exit is called on CPU 1:
 |         - the task is scheduled on CPU 1
 |         - perf_event_exit_task is called
 |         - task_ctx_sched_out unsets cpuctx->task_ctx on CPU 1
 |         - put_ctx destroys the context
 |
 | - another call of perf_rotate_context on CPU 0 will use invalid
 |   task_ctx pointer, and eventualy panic.
 |

Cure this the simplest possibly way by partially reverting the
jump_label optimization for the sched_out case.

800cd25c12 perf: mmap 512 kiB by default
The default setting of perf record is to mmap 128 pages if the user
did not override with -m.

However the page size may vary accross different architecture
settings, giving different default size between each.

Moreover the kernel side still has a default max number of mlocked
pages of 512 kiB + 1 page for unprivileged users. 128 + 1 pages
with page size > 4096 overlaps this threshold.

Thus, better adapt to this limitation and set the default number of
pages to fit those 512 kiB + 1 page.

20443384fe perf: Rebase max unprivileged mlock threshold on top of page size
Ensure we allow 512 kiB + 1 page for user control without
assuming a 4096 bytes page size.

3436ae1298 sched: Fix rebalance interval calculation
The interval for checking scheduling domains if they are due to be
balanced currently depends on boot state NR_CPUS, which may not
accurately reflect the number of online CPUs at the time of check.

Thus replace NR_CPUS with num_online_cpus().

 (ed: Should only affect those who set NR_CPUS really high, such as 4096
      or so :-)

a51e919818 sched: Leave sched_setscheduler() earlier if possible, do not disturb SCHED_FIFO tasks
sched_setscheduler() (in sched.c) is called in order of changing the
scheduling policy and/or the real-time priority of a task. Thus,
if we find out that neither of those are actually being modified, it
is possible to return earlier and save the overhead of a full
deactivate+activate cycle of the task in question.

Beside that, if we have more than one SCHED_FIFO task with the same
priority on the same rq (which means they share the same priority queue)
having one of them changing its position in the priority queue because of
a sched_setscheduler (as it happens by means of the deactivate+activate)
that does not actually change the priority violates POSIX which states,
for SCHED_FIFO:

  "If a thread whose policy or priority has been modified by
   pthread_setschedprio() is a running thread or is runnable, the effect on
   its position in the thread list depends on the direction of the
   modification, as follows: a. <...> b. If the priority is unchanged, the
   thread does not change position in the thread list. c. <...>"

     http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/xsh_chap02_08.html

 (ed: And the POSIX specification here does, briefly and somewhat unexpectedly,
      match what common sense tells us as well. )

c379474591 mlx4: Fixing bad size of event queue buffer
We should reduce the number of reserved completion queues from the total
number of entries. Since the queue size is power of two, not reducing the
reserved entries, caused a double queue size, which may lead to allocation
failures in some cases.
