39159de2a0 vfs: force reval of target when following LAST_BIND symlinks (try #7)
procfs-style symlinks return a last_type of LAST_BIND without an actual
path string. This causes __follow_link to skip calling __vfs_follow_link
and so the dentry isn't revalidated.

This is a problem when the link target sits on NFSv4 as it depends on
the VFS to revalidate the dentry before using it on an open call. Ensure
that this occurs by forcing a revalidation of the target dentry of
LAST_BIND symlinks.

d1625436b4 ima: limit imbalance msg
Limit the number of imbalance messages to once per filesystem type instead of
once per system boot.  (it's actually slightly racy and could give you a
couple per fs, but this isn't a real issue)

1429b3eca2 Untangling ima mess, part 3: kill dead code in ima
Kill the 'update' argument of ima_path_check(), kill
dead code in ima.

Current rules: ima counters are bumped at the same time
when the file switches from put_filp() fodder to fput()
one.  Which happens exactly in two places - alloc_file()
and __dentry_open().  Nothing else needs to do that at
all.

0552f879d4 Untangling ima mess, part 1: alloc_file()
There are 2 groups of alloc_file() callers:
	* ones that are followed by ima_counts_get
	* ones giving non-regular files
So let's pull that ima_counts_get() into alloc_file();
it's a no-op in case of non-regular files.

85a17f552d ima: call ima_inode_free ima_inode_free
ima_inode_free() has some funky #define just to confuse the crap out of me.

void ima_iint_delete(struct inode *inode)

and then things actually call ima_inode_free() and nothing calls

9353384ec8 ima: only insert at inode creation time
iints are supposed to be allocated when an inode is allocated (during
security_inode_alloc())  But we have code which will attempt to allocate
an iint during measurement calls.  If we couldn't allocate the iint and we
cared, we should have died during security_inode_alloc().  Not make the
code more complex and less efficient.

e81e3f4dca fs: move get_empty_filp() deffinition to internal.h
All users outside of fs/ of get_empty_filp() have been removed.  This patch
moves the definition from the include/ directory to internal.h so no new
users crop up and removes the EXPORT_SYMBOL.  I'd love to see open intents
stop using it too, but that's a problem for another day and a smarter
developer!

* sock_create_kern() can fail.
* use of sock_map_fd() is all fscked up; I'd fixed most of that, but the
  rest will have to wait for a bit more work in net/socket.c (we still are

42b4e9ee3d Toshiba Bluetooth Enabling driver (RFKill handler v3)
This patch adds support for the ACPI events generated by the RFKill
switch on modern Toshiba laptops, and re-enables the Bluetooth USB
device when the switch is flipped back to the 'on' position.

The RFKill switch brute force pulls out the USB device when flipped to
'off', but it doesn't automatically re-enable it. Without this driver,
the Bluetooth is gone until after a reboot on my Portege R500.

c351c28161 perf diff: Use perf_session__fprintf_hists just like 'perf record'
That means that almost everything you can do with 'perf report'
can be done with 'perf diff', for instance:

$ perf record -f find / > /dev/null
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.062 MB perf.data (~2699
samples) ] $ perf record -f find / > /dev/null
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.062 MB perf.data (~2687
samples) ] perf diff | head -8
     9.02%     +1.00%     find  libc-2.10.1.so               [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
     2.91%     -1.00%     find  [kernel]                     [k] __kmalloc
     2.85%     -1.00%     find  [kernel]                     [k] ext4_htree_store_dirent
     1.99%     -1.00%     find  [kernel]                     [k] _atomic_dec_and_lock
     2.44%                find  [kernel]                     [k] half_md4_transform
$

So if you want to zoom into libc:

$ perf diff --dsos libc-2.10.1.so | head -8
    37.34%                find  [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
    10.34%                find  [.] __GI_memmove
     8.25%     +2.00%     find  [.] _int_malloc
     5.07%     -1.00%     find  [.] __GI_mempcpy
     7.62%     +2.00%     find  [.] _int_free
$

And if there were multiple commands using libc, it is also
possible to aggregate them all by using --sort symbol:

$ perf diff --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
    37.34%             [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
    10.34%             [.] __GI_memmove
     8.25%     +2.00%  [.] _int_malloc
     5.07%     -1.00%  [.] __GI_mempcpy
     7.62%     +2.00%  [.] _int_free
$

The displacement column now is off by default, to use it:

perf diff -m --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
    37.34%                   [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
    10.34%                   [.] __GI_memmove
     8.25%     +2.00%        [.] _int_malloc
     5.07%     -1.00%    +2  [.] __GI_mempcpy
     7.62%     +2.00%    -1  [.] _int_free
$

Using -t/--field-separator can be used for scripting:

$ perf diff -t, -m --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
37.34, , ,[.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
10.34, , ,[.] __GI_memmove
8.25,+2.00%, ,[.] _int_malloc
5.07,-1.00%,  +2,[.] __GI_mempcpy
7.62,+2.00%,  -1,[.] _int_free
6.99,+1.00%,  -1,[.] _IO_new_file_xsputn
1.89,-2.00%,  +4,[.] __readdir64

1. s/iommu_area_free/bitmap_clear/

2. s/iommu_area_reserve/bitmap_set/

3. Use bitmap_find_next_zero_area instead of find_next_zero_area

  This cannot be simple substitution because find_next_zero_area
  doesn't check the last bit of the limit in bitmap

4. Remove iommu_area_free, iommu_area_reserve, and find_next_zero_area

c1a2a962a2 bitmap: introduce bitmap_set, bitmap_clear, bitmap_find_next_zero_area
This introduces new bitmap functions:

bitmap_set: Set specified bit area
bitmap_clear: Clear specified bit area
bitmap_find_next_zero_area: Find free bit area

These are mostly stolen from iommu helper. The differences are:

- Use find_next_bit instead of doing test_bit for each bit

- Rewrite bitmap_set and bitmap_clear

  Instead of setting or clearing for each bit.

- Check the last bit of the limit

  iommu-helper doesn't want to find such area

- The return value if there is no zero area

  find_next_zero_area in iommu helper: returns -1
  bitmap_find_next_zero_area: return >= bitmap size

f65380c07b resource: constify arg to resource_size() and resource_type()
resource_size() doesn't change the resource it operates on, so the res
parameter can be marked const.  Same for resource_type().

76148df19c gru: send cross partition interrupts using the gru
GRU Message queue instructions are used to deliver messages to other SSIs
within the numalink domain.  In most cases, a single GRU mesq instruction
will deliver both the message AND an interrupt to notify the other SSI
that a messsage is present.  In some cases, however, the interrupt must be
sent explicitly.

To improve resilency, the GRU driver should send these explicit interrupts
using the GRU to write the remote chipset register.  Current code sends
the interrupt using a cpu instruction to write the chipset register.
