fa283ada16 perf diff: Remove displacement from struct hist_entry_diff
Removing displacement from struct hist_entry_diff, because it's not
used. Displacement is not used for sorting, so there's no reason to
pre-calculate it.

823254edc6 perf evsel: Convert to _is_group_leader method
Convert perf_evsel__is_group_member to perf_evsel__is_group_leader.
This is because the most usecases are using negative form to check
whether the given evsel is a leader or not and it's IMHO somewhat
ambiguous - leader also *is* a member of the group.

2cfda562da perf evsel: Set leader evsel's ->leader to itself
Currently only non-leader members are set ->leader to the leader evsel
of the group and the leader has set NULL.  Thus it requires special
casing for leader evsels.  Set ->leader to itself will remove this.

3843b05d6e perf symbols: Ignore ABS symbols when loading data maps
When loading symbols in a data mapping, ABS symbols (which has a value
of SHN_ABS in its st_shndx) failed at elf_getscn().  And it marks the
loading as a failure so already loaded symbols cannot be fixed up.

I'm not sure what should be done. Just ignore them for now. :)

35d48ddfc0 perf tools: Fix mmap limitations on 32-bit
This is a suggested patch to fix the bug I reported at:

	http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=135033028924652&w=2

Essentially, there is a hard requirement that when perf analyzes a
trace, it must have the entire thing mmap()'d.

Therefore the scheme used on 32-bit where we have a fixed (8) number of
32MB mmaps, and cycle through them, simply does not work.

One of the reasons this requirement exists is because the iterators
maintain references to perf entry objects and those references don't
just simply go away when this mmap code decides to cycle an old mmap
area out and reuse it.  At this point, those entry pointers now point to
garbage resulting in unpredictable behavior and crashes.

It is better to try to mmap() as much as we can and if we do actually
run into address space limitations, the failure of the mmap() call will
indicate that and stop processing.

I noticed that perf_session->mmap_window is set to a constant in one
location, and only used in one other location.  So I got rid of it
altogether.

So we adjust the size of the mmaps[] array to the maximum we could need.
On 64-bit we only need one slot.  On 32-bit we could need up to 128 (128
* 32MB == 4GB).

I've verified that this allows a large (~600MB) perf.data file to be
analyzed properly with a 32-bit perf binary, which previously was not
possible.

ee8d7787e1 perf top: Add missing newline on pr_err call
The perf_event__process_sample function, when not finding a machine
associated with a sample, was calling pr_err without a newline,
garbling the screen on TUI mode due to a problem introduced by a
recent ui_helpline patch.

On --stdio it would just concatenate the messages for each sample with
no machine associated, fix it by adding the newline.

commit 2e71a6f808 (net: gro: selective flush of packets) added
a bug for skbs using frag_list. This part of the GRO stack is rarely
used, as it needs skb not using a page fragment for their skb->head.

Most drivers do use a page fragment, but some of them use GFP_KERNEL
allocations for the initial fill of their RX ring buffer.

napi_gro_flush() overwrite skb->prev that was used for these skb to
point to the last skb in frag_list.

Fix this using a separate field in struct napi_gro_cb to point to the
last fragment.

93b174ad71 tcp: bug fix Fast Open client retransmission
If SYN-ACK partially acks SYN-data, the client retransmits the
remaining data by tcp_retransmit_skb(). This increments lost recovery
state variables like tp->retrans_out in Open state. If loss recovery
happens before the retransmission is acked, it triggers the WARN_ON
check in tcp_fastretrans_alert(). For example: the client sends
SYN-data, gets SYN-ACK acking only ISN, retransmits data, sends
another 4 data packets and get 3 dupacks.

Since the retransmission is not caused by network drop it should not
update the recovery state variables. Further the server may return a
smaller MSS than the cached MSS used for SYN-data, so the retranmission
needs a loop. Otherwise some data will not be retransmitted until timeout
or other loss recovery events.

18a2f371f5 tmpfs: fix shared mempolicy leak
This fixes a regression in 3.7-rc, which has since gone into stable.

Commit 00442ad04a ("mempolicy: fix a memory corruption by refcount
imbalance in alloc_pages_vma()") changed get_vma_policy() to raise the
refcount on a shmem shared mempolicy; whereas shmem_alloc_page() went
on expecting alloc_page_vma() to drop the refcount it had acquired.
This deserves a rework: but for now fix the leak in shmem_alloc_page().

Hugh: shmem_swapin() did not need a fix, but surely it's clearer to use
the same refcounting there as in shmem_alloc_page(), delete its onstack
mempolicy, and the strange mpol_cond_copy() and __mpol_cond_copy() -
those were invented to let swapin_readahead() make an unknown number of
calls to alloc_pages_vma() with one mempolicy; but since 00442ad04a,
alloc_pages_vma() has kept refcount in balance, so now no problem.

This requirement, that a node be only partially balanced, came about
when kswapd was desparately trying to balance tiny zones when all bigger
zones in the node had plenty of free memory.  Arguably, the same should
apply to compaction: if a significant part of the node is balanced
enough to run compaction, do not get hung up on that tiny zone that
might never get in shape.

When the compaction logic in kswapd is reached, we know that at least
25% of the node's memory is balanced properly for compaction (see
zone_balanced and pgdat_balanced).  Remove the individual zone checks
that restart the kswapd cycle.

Otherwise, we may observe more endless looping in kswapd where the
compaction code loops back to reclaim because of a single zone and
reclaim does nothing because the node is considered balanced overall.

60177d31d2 mm: compaction: validate pfn range passed to isolate_freepages_block
Commit 0bf380bc70 ("mm: compaction: check pfn_valid when entering a
new MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block during isolation for migration") added a
check for pfn_valid() when isolating pages for migration as the scanner
does not necessarily start pageblock-aligned.

Since commit c89511ab2f ("mm: compaction: Restart compaction from near
where it left off"), the free scanner has the same problem.  This patch
makes sure that the pfn range passed to isolate_freepages_block() is
within the same block so that pfn_valid() checks are unnecessary.

In answer to Henrik's wondering why others have not reported this:
reproducing this requires a large enough hole with the right aligment to
have compaction walk into a PFN range with no memmap.  Size and
alignment depends in the memory model - 4M for FLATMEM and 128M for
SPARSEMEM on x86.  It needs a "lucky" machine.

c90e6fbb22 MIPS: Fix endless loop when processing signals for kernel tasks
The problem occurs [1] when a kernel-mode task returns from a system
call with a pending signal.

A real-life scenario is a child of 'khelper' returning from a failed
kernel_execve() in ____call_usermodehelper() [ kernel/kmod.c ].
kernel_execve() fails due to a pending SIGKILL, which is the result of
"kill -9 -1" (at least, busybox's init does it upon reboot).

The loop is as follows:

* syscall_exit_work:
 - work_pending:            // start_of_the_loop
 - work_notifysig:
   - do_notify_resume()
     - do_signal()
       - if (!user_mode(regs)) return;
 - resume_userspace         // TIF_SIGPENDING is still set
 - work_pending             // so we call work_pending => goto
                            // start_of_the_loop

More information can be found in another LKML thread:
http://www.serverphorums.com/read.php?12,457826

[1] The problem was also reproduced on !CONFIG_VM86 x86, and the
following fix was accepted.

Norbert reported:
"3.7-rc6 booted with nmi_watchdog=0 fails to suspend to RAM or
 offline CPUs. It's reproducable with a KVM guest and physical
 system."

The reason is that commit bcd951cf(watchdog: Use hotplug thread
infrastructure) missed to take this into account. So the cpu offline
code gets stuck in the teardown function because it accesses non
initialized data structures.

Add a check for watchdog_enabled into that path to cure the issue.

 "So, safe fixes my ass.

  Commit 8852aac25e ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue

  sanity checks even when @delay is 0, which should be fine for any sane
  use cases.

  Unfortunately, megaraid was being overly ingenious.  It seemingly
  wanted to use cancel_delayed_work_sync() before cancel_work_sync() was
  introduced, but didn't want to waste the space for full delayed_work
  as it was only going to use 0 @delay.  So, it only allocated space for
  struct work_struct and then cast it to struct delayed_work and passed
  it into delayed_work functions - truly awesome engineering tradeoff to
  save some bytes.

  Xiaotian fixed it by making megraid allocate full delayed_work for
  now.  It should be converted to use work_struct and cancel_work_sync()
  but I think we better do that after 3.7.

57302e0ddf vfs: avoid "attempt to access beyond end of device" warnings
The block device access simplification that avoided accessing the (racy)
block size information (commit bbec0270bd: "blkdev_max_block: make
private to fs/buffer.c") no longer checks the maximum block size in the
block mapping path.

That was _almost_ as simple as just removing the code entirely, because
the readers and writers all check the size of the device anyway, so
under normal circumstances it "just worked".

However, the block size may be such that the end of the device may
straddle one single buffer_head.  At which point we may still want to
access the end of the device, but the buffer we use to access it
partially extends past the end.

The 'bd_set_size()' function intentionally sets the block size to avoid
this, but mounting the device - or setting the block size by hand to
some other value - can modify that block size.

So instead, teach 'submit_bh()' about the special case of the buffer
head straddling the end of the device, and turning such an access into a
smaller IO access, avoiding the problem.

This, btw, also means that unlike before, we can now access the whole
device regardless of device block size setting.  So now, even if the
device size is only 512-byte aligned, we can read and write even the
last sector even when having a much bigger block size for accessing the
rest of the device.

So with this, we could now get rid of the 'bd_set_size()' block size
code entirely - resulting in faster IO for the common case - but that
would be a separate patch.

fc4b514f27 workqueue: convert BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s
8852aac25e ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on
0 delay") unexpectedly uncovered a very nasty abuse of delayed_work in
megaraid - it allocated work_struct, casted it to delayed_work and
then pass that into queue_delayed_work().

Previously, this was okay because 0 @delay short-circuited to
queue_work() before doing anything with delayed_work.  8852aac25e
moved 0 @delay test into __queue_delayed_work() after sanity check on
delayed_work making megaraid trigger BUG_ON().

Although megaraid is already fixed by c1d390d8e6 ("megaraid: fix
BUG_ON() from incorrect use of delayed work"), this patch converts
BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s so that such
abusers, if there are more, trigger warning but don't crash the
machine.

ac53c4fca4 MIPS: Avoid mcheck by flushing page range in huge_ptep_set_access_flags()
Problem:

1) Huge page mapping of anonymous memory is initially invalid.  Will be
   faulted in by copy-on-write mechanism.

2) Userspace attempts store at the end of the huge mapping.

3) TLB Refill exception handler fill TLB with a normal (4K sized)
   invalid page at the end of the huge mapping virtual address range.

4) Userspace restarted, and re-attempts the store at the end of the
   huge mapping.

5) Page from #3 is invalid, we get a fault and go to the hugepage
   fault handler.  This tries to map a huge page and calls
   huge_ptep_set_access_flags() to install the mapping.

6) We just call the generic ptep_set_access_flags() to set up the page
   tables, but the flush there assumes a normal (4K sized) page and
   only tries to flush the first part of the huge page virtual address
   out of the TLB, since the existing entry from step #3 doesn't
   conflict, nothing is flushed.

7) We attempt to load the mapping into the TLB, but because it
   conflicts with the entry from step #3, we get a Machine Check
   exception.

The fix: Flush the entire rage covered by the huge page in
huge_ptep_set_access_flags(), and remove the optimization in
local_flush_tlb_range() so that the flush actually does the correct
thing.

c1d390d8e6 megaraid: fix BUG_ON() from incorrect use of delayed work
megaraid use INIT_WORK to declare a hotplug_work, but cast the
hotplug_work from work_struct to delayed_work and
schedule_delayed_work on it.  This is very dangerous, as other part of
delayed_work might be kernel memories allocated by others.

With commit 8852aac ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue
timer on 0 delay"), schedule_delayed_work() will check dwork->timer
before queue_work even when @delay is 0, this causes megaraid code to
hit the BUG_ON() in workqueue code.  Change megaraid code to use
delayed work.
