Emulation of xcr0 writes zero guest_xcr0_loaded variable so that
subsequent VM-entry reloads CPU's xcr0 with guests xcr0 value.
However, this is incorrect because guest_xcr0_loaded variable is
read to decide whether to reload hosts xcr0.
In case the vcpu thread is scheduled out after the guest_xcr0_loaded = 0
assignment, and scheduler decides to preload FPU:
switch_to
{
__switch_to
__math_state_restore
restore_fpu_checking
fpu_restore_checking
if (use_xsave())
fpu_xrstor_checking
xrstor64 with CPU's xcr0 == guests xcr0
Fix by properly restoring hosts xcr0 during emulation of xcr0 writes.

Merge more incoming from Andrew Morton:
- Various fixes which were stalled or which I picked up recently
- A large rotorooting of the AIO code. Allegedly to improve
performance but I don't really have good performance numbers (I might
have lost the email) and I can't raise Kent today. I held this out
of 3.9 and we could give it another cycle if it's all too late/scary.
I ended up taking only the first two thirds of the AIO rotorooting. I
left the percpu parts and the batch completion for later. - Linus

Thanks to Zach Brown's work to rip out the retry infrastructure, we don't
need this anymore - ki_retry was only called right after the kiocb was
initialized.
This also refactors and trims some duplicated code, as well as cleaning up
the refcounting/error handling a bit.

struct aio_ring_info was kind of odd, the only place it's used is where
it's embedded in struct kioctx - there's no real need for it.
The next patch rearranges struct kioctx and puts various things on their
own cachelines - getting rid of struct aio_ring_info now makes that
reordering a bit clearer.

Previously, allocating a kiocb required touching quite a few global

those was worthwhile. But we've gotten rid of some of those, and in
another couple of patches kiocb allocation won't require writing to any
shared cachelines, so that means we can just rip this code out.

The aio code tries really hard to avoid having to deal with the
completion ringbuffer overflowing. To do that, it has to keep track of
the number of outstanding kiocbs, and the number of completions
currently in the ringbuffer - and it's got to check that every time we
allocate a kiocb. Ouch.
But - we can improve this quite a bit if we just change reqs_active to
mean "number of outstanding requests and unreaped completions" - that
means kiocb allocation doesn't have to look at the ringbuffer, which is
a fairly significant win.

Cancelling kiocbs requires adding them to a per kioctx linked list,
which is one of the few things we need to take the kioctx lock for in
the fast path. But most kiocbs can't be cancelled - so if we just do
this lazily, we can avoid quite a bit of locking overhead.
While we're at it, instead of using a flag bit switch to using ki_cancel
itself to indicate that a kiocb has been cancelled/completed. This lets
us get rid of ki_flags entirely.

Previously, aio_read_event() pulled a single completion off the
ringbuffer at a time, locking and unlocking each time. Change it to
pull off as many events as it can at a time, and copy them directly to
userspace.
This also fixes a bug where if copying the event to userspace failed,
we'd lose the event.
Also convert it to wait_event_interruptible_hrtimeout(), which
simplifies it quite a bit.

Analagous to wait_event_timeout() and friends, this adds
wait_event_hrtimeout() and wait_event_interruptible_hrtimeout().
Note that unlike the versions that use regular timers, these don't
return the amount of time remaining when they return - instead, they
return 0 or -ETIME if they timed out. because I was uncomfortable with
the semantics of doing it the other way (that I could get it right,
anyways).
If the timer expires, there's no real guarantee that expire_time -
current_time would be <= 0 - due to timer slack certainly, and I'm not
sure I want to know the implications of the different clock bases in
hrtimers.
If the timer does expire and the code calculates that the time remaining
is nonnegative, that could be even worse if the calling code then reuses
that timeout. Probably safer to just return 0 then, but I could imagine
weird bugs or at least unintended behaviour arising from that too.
I came to the conclusion that if other users end up actually needing the
amount of time remaining, the sanest thing to do would be to create a
version that uses absolute timeouts instead of relative.

The usage of ctx->dead was fubar - it makes no sense to explicitly check
it all over the place, especially when we're already using RCU.
Now, ctx->dead only indicates whether we've dropped the initial
refcount. The new teardown sequence is:
set ctx->dead
hlist_del_rcu();
synchronize_rcu();
Now we know no system calls can take a new ref, and it's safe to drop
the initial ref:
put_ioctx();
We also need to ensure there are no more outstanding kiocbs. This was
done incorrectly - it was being done in kill_ctx(), and before dropping
the initial refcount. At this point, other syscalls may still be
submitting kiocbs!
Now, we cancel and wait for outstanding kiocbs in free_ioctx(), after
kioctx->users has dropped to 0 and we know no more iocbs could be
submitted.

Freeing a kiocb needed to touch the kioctx for three things:
* Pull it off the reqs_active list
* Decrementing reqs_active
* Issuing a wakeup, if the kioctx was in the process of being freed.
This patch moves these to aio_complete(), for a couple reasons:
* aio_complete() already has to issue the wakeup, so if we drop the
kioctx refcount before aio_complete does its wakeup we don't have to
do it twice.
* aio_complete currently has to take the kioctx lock, so it makes sense
for it to pull the kiocb off the reqs_active list too.
* A later patch is going to change reqs_active to include unreaped
completions - this will mean allocating a kiocb doesn't have to look
at the ringbuffer. So taking the decrement of reqs_active out of
kiocb_free() is useful prep work for that patch.
This doesn't really affect cancellation, since existing (usb) code that
implements a cancel function still calls aio_complete() - we just have
to make sure that aio_complete does the necessary teardown for cancelled
kiocbs.
It does affect code paths where we free kiocbs that were never
submitted; they need to decrement reqs_active and pull the kiocb off the
reqs_active list. This occurs in two places: kiocb_batch_free(), which
is going away in a later patch, and the error path in io_submit_one.

This removes the retry-based AIO infrastructure now that nothing in tree

We want to remove retry-based AIO because it is fundemantally unsafe.
It retries IO submission from a kernel thread that has only assumed the
mm of the submitting task. All other task_struct references in the IO
submission path will see the kernel thread, not the submitting task.
This design flaw means that nothing of any meaningful complexity can use
retry-based AIO.
This removes all the code and data associated with the retry machinery.
The most significant benefit of this is the removal of the locking
around the unused run list in the submission path.

This removes the only in-tree user of aio retry. This will let us
remove the retry code from the aio core.
Removing retry is relatively easy as the USB gadget wasn't using it to
retry IOs at all. It always fully submitted the IO in the context of
the initial io_submit() call. It only used the AIO retry facility to
get the submitter's mm context for copying the result of a read back to
user space. This is easy to implement with use_mm() and a work struct,
much like kvm does with async_pf_execute() for get_user_pages().

Bunch of performance improvements and cleanups Zach Brown and I have
been working on. The code should be pretty solid at this point, though
it could of course use more review and testing.
The results in my testing are pretty impressive, particularly when an
ioctx is being shared between multiple threads. In my crappy synthetic
benchmark, with 4 threads submitting and one thread reaping completions,
I saw overhead in the aio code go from ~50% (mostly ioctx lock
contention) to low single digits. Performance with ioctx per thread
improved too, but I'd have to rerun those benchmarks.
The reason I've been focused on performance when the ioctx is shared is
that for a fair number of real world completions, userspace needs the
completions aggregated somehow - in practice people just end up
implementing this aggregation in userspace today, but if it's done right
we can do it much more efficiently in the kernel.
Performance wise, the end result of this patch series is that submitting
a kiocb writes to _no_ shared cachelines - the penalty for sharing an
ioctx is gone there. There's still going to be some cacheline
contention when we deliver the completions to the aio ringbuffer (at
least if you have interrupts being delivered on multiple cores, which
for high end stuff you do) but I have a couple more patches not in this
series that implement coalescing for that (by taking advantage of
interrupt coalescing). With that, there's basically no bottlenecks or
performance issues to speak of in the aio code.
This patch:
use_mm() is used in more places than just aio. There's no need to mention
callers when describing the function.

The current kernel returns -EINVAL unless a given mmap length is
"almost" hugepage aligned. This is because in sys_mmap_pgoff() the
given length is passed to vm_mmap_pgoff() as it is without being aligned
with hugepage boundary.
This is a regression introduced in commit 40716e2924 ("hugetlbfs: fix
alignment of huge page requests"), where alignment code is pushed into
hugetlb_file_setup() and the variable len in caller side is not changed.
To fix this, this patch partially reverts that commit, and adds
alignment code in caller side. And it also introduces hstate_sizelog()
in order to get proper hstate to specified hugepage size.

This exports the amount of anonymous transparent hugepages for each
memcg via the new "rss_huge" stat in memory.stat. The units are in
bytes.
This is helpful to determine the hugepage utilization for individual
jobs on the system in comparison to rss and opportunities where
MADV_HUGEPAGE may be helpful.
The amount of anonymous transparent hugepages is also included in "rss"

I badly screwed up the merge in commit 6fa52ed33b ("Merge tag
'drivers-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/.../arm-soc") by
incorrectly taking the arch/arm/mach-omap2/* data fully from the merge
target because the 'drivers-for-linus' branch seemed to be a proper
superset of the duplicate ARM commits.
That was bogus: commit ff931c821b ("ARM: OMAP: clocks: Delay clk inits
atleast until slab is initialized") only existed in head, and the
changes to arch/arm/mach-omap2/timer.c from that commit got list.
Re-doing the merge more carefully, I do think this part was the only
thing I screwed up. Knock wood.

Default kernel stack size on parisc is 16k. During tests we found that the
kernel stack can easily grow beyond 13k, which leaves 3k left for irq
processing.
This patch adds the possibility to activate an additional stack of 16k per CPU
which is being used during irq processing. This implementation does not yet
uses this irq stack for the irq bh handler.
The assembler code for call_on_stack was heavily cleaned up by John
David Anglin.

Add the CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW config option to enable checks to
detect kernel stack overflows.
Stack overflows can not be detected reliable since we do not want to
introduce too much overhead.
Instead, during irq processing in do_cpu_irq_mask() we check kernel
stack usage of the interrupted kernel process. Kernel threads can be
easily detected by checking the value of space register 7 (sr7) which
is zero when running inside the kernel.
Since THREAD_SIZE is 16k and PAGE_SIZE is 4k, reduce the alignment of
the init thread to the lower value (PAGE_SIZE) in the kernel
vmlinux.ld.S linker script.
