do_notify_resume() may be called on irq or exception
exit. But at that time the exception has already called
rcu_user_enter() and the irq has already called rcu_irq_exit().
Since it can use RCU read side critical section, we must call
rcu_user_exit() before doing anything there. Then we must call
back rcu_user_enter() after this function because we know we are
going to userspace from there.
This complete support for userspace RCU extended quiescent state
in x86-64.

This way we can exit the RCU extended quiescent state before

When exceptions or irq are about to resume userspace, if
the task needs to be rescheduled, the arch low level code
calls schedule() directly.
If we call it, it is because we have the TIF_RESCHED flag:
- It can be set after random local calls to set_need_resched()
(RCU, drm, ...)
- A wake up happened and the CPU needs preemption. This can
happen in several ways:
* Remotely: the remote waking CPU has set TIF_RESCHED and send the
wakee an IPI to schedule the new task.
* Remotely enqueued: the remote waking CPU sends an IPI to the target
and the wake up is made by the target.
* Locally: waking CPU == wakee CPU and the wakeup is done locally.
set_need_resched() is called without IPI.
In the case of local and remotely enqueued wake ups, the tick can
be restarted when we enqueue the new task and RCU can exit the
extended quiescent state at the same time. Then by the time we reach
irq exit path and we call schedule, we are not in RCU user mode.
But if we call schedule() only because something called set_need_resched(),
RCU may still be in user mode when we reach schedule.
Also if a wake up is done remotely, the CPU might see the TIF_RESCHED
flag and call schedule while the IPI has not yet happen to restart the
tick and exit RCU user mode.
We need to manually protect against these corner cases.
Create a new API schedule_user() that calls schedule() inside
rcu_user_exit()-rcu_user_enter() in order to protect it. Archs
will need to rely on it now to implement user preemption safely.

When an exception or an irq exits, and we are going to resume into
interrupted kernel code, the low level architecture code calls
preempt_schedule_irq() if there is a need to reschedule.
If the interrupt/exception occured between a call to rcu_user_enter()
(from syscall exit, exception exit, do_notify_resume exit, ...) and
a real resume to userspace (iret,...), preempt_schedule_irq() can be
called whereas RCU thinks we are in userspace. But preempt_schedule_irq()
is going to run kernel code and may be some RCU read side critical
section. We must exit the userspace extended quiescent state before
we call it.
To solve this, just call rcu_user_exit() in the beginning of
preempt_schedule_irq().

The current implementation of RCU_FAST_NO_HZ tries reasonably hard to rid
the current CPU of RCU callbacks. This is appropriate when the CPU is
entering idle, where it doesn't have much useful to do anyway, but is most
definitely not what you want when transitioning to user-mode execution.
This commit therefore detects the adaptive-tick case, and refrains from
burning CPU time getting rid of RCU callbacks in that case.

In some cases, it is necessary to enter or exit userspace-RCU-idle mode
from an interrupt handler, for example, if some other CPU sends this
CPU a resched IPI. In this case, the current CPU would enter the IPI
handler in userspace-RCU-idle mode, but would need to exit the IPI handler
after having exited that mode.
To allow this to work, this commit adds two new APIs to TREE_RCU:
- rcu_user_enter_after_irq(). This must be called from an interrupt between
rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit(). After the irq calls rcu_irq_exit(),
the irq handler will return into an RCU extended quiescent state.
In theory, this interrupt is never a nested interrupt, but in practice
it might interrupt softirq, which looks to RCU like a nested interrupt.
- rcu_user_exit_after_irq(). This must be called from a non-nesting
interrupt, interrupting an RCU extended quiescent state, also
between rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit(). After the irq calls
rcu_irq_exit(), the irq handler will return in an RCU non-quiescent
state.

RCU currently insists that only idle tasks can enter RCU idle mode, which
prohibits an adaptive tickless kernel (AKA nohz cpusets), which in turn
would mean that usermode execution would always take scheduling-clock
interrupts, even when there is only one task runnable on the CPU in
question.
This commit therefore adds rcu_user_enter() and rcu_user_exit(), which
allow non-idle tasks to enter RCU idle mode. These are quite similar
to rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit(), respectively, except that they
omit the idle-task checks.

"
0. A fix for a latent bug that has been in RCU ever since the
addition of CPU stall warnings. This bug results in
false-positive stall warnings, but thus far only on embedded
systems with severely cut-down userspace configurations.
This fix is located on an rcu/urgent branch, with the rest
of the commits based on top of it. This commit CCs stable.
Given that the merge window is coming quite soon and given
the small number of affected users, I do -not- recommend
pushing it to 3.6, but the separate branch makes it easy to
find if someone needs it.
1. Further reductions in latency spikes for huge systems, along
with additional boot-time adaptation to the actual hardware.
This is a large change, as it moves RCU grace-period
initialization and cleanup, along with quiescent-state forcing,
from softirq to a kthread. However, it appears to be in
quite good shape (famous last words). Posted to LKML at

NVIDIA do that at startup too on Fermi, so perhaps the heap of 0x10

On Kepler NVIDIA *don't* do this, but the hardware appears to come up

Pull more networking fixes from David Miller:
1) Eric Dumazet discovered and fixed what turned out to be a family of
bugs. These functions were using pskb_may_pull() which might need
to reallocate the linear SKB data buffer, but the callers were not
expecting this possibility. The callers have cached pointers to the
packet header areas, and would need to reload them if we were to
continue using pskb_may_pull().
So they could end up reading garbage.
It's easier to just change these RAW4/RAW6/MIP6 routines to use
skb_header_pointer() instead of pskb_may_pull(), which won't modify
the linear SKB data area.
2) Dave Jone's syscall spammer caught a case where a non-TCP socket can
call down into the TCP keepalive code. The case basically involves
creating a raw socket with sk_protocol == IPPROTO_TCP, then calling
setsockopt(sock_fd, SO_KEEPALIVE, ...)
Fixed by Eric Dumazet.
3) Bluetooth devices do not get configured properly while being powered
on, resulting in always using legacy pairing instead of SSP. Fix
from Andrzej Kaczmarek.

team, fix from Jiri Pirko.
9) Fix endless loop when trying ot unregister PPPOE device in zombie
state, from Xiaodong Xu.
10) batman-adv layer needs to set MAC address of software device
earlier, otherwise we call tt_local_add with it uninitialized.
11) Fix handling of KSZ8021 PHYs, it's matched currently by KS8051 but
that doesn't program the device properly. From Marek Vasut.

Commit 1ad75b9e1628 ("c/r: prctl: add minimal address test to
PR_SET_MM") added some address checking to prctl_set_mm() used by
checkpoint-restore. This causes a build error for no-MMU systems:
kernel/sys.c: In function 'prctl_set_mm':
kernel/sys.c:1868:34: error: 'mmap_min_addr' undeclared (first use in this function)
The test for mmap_min_addr doesn't make a lot of sense for no-MMU code
as noted in commit 6e1415467614 ("NOMMU: Optimise away the
{dac_,}mmap_min_addr tests").
This patch defines mmap_min_addr as 0UL in the no-MMU case so that the
compiler will optimize away tests for "addr < mmap_min_addr".

When racing with CPU hotplug, percpu_counter_sum() can return negative
values for the number of observed events.
This confuses fprop_new_period(), which uses unsigned type and as a
result number of events is set to big *positive* number. From that
moment on, things go pear shaped and can result e.g. in division by
zero as denominator is later truncated to 32-bits.
This bug causes a divide-by-zero oops in bdi_dirty_limit() in Borislav's
3.6.0-rc6 based kernel.
Fix the issue by using a signed type in fprop_new_period(). That makes
us bail out from the function without doing anything (mistakenly)
thinking there are no events to age. That makes aging somewhat
inaccurate but getting accurate data would be rather hard.

The lg4ff driver doesn't fill the "input_absinfo" struct so it is left
with default values. Applications with rely on information in this struct
therefore do not work correctly with the wheel.

enough information to write it.

Range limiting command for the Driving Force Pro wheel is only a FF_SPRING
effect so that the wheel creates resistance when the user tries to turn it past
the limit. It is however possible to overpower the FFB motors quite easily which
leads to the X axis value exceeding the expected limit. This confuses
games which dynamically adjust calibration using the highest/lowest min and max
values reported by the wheel. Joydev device driver also doesn't take in account
any changes in an axis range after the joystick device is created.
This patch recalculates received ABS_X axis value so it is always in
<0; 16383> range where 0 is the left limit and 16383 the right limit.
Logitech driver for Windows does the same thing. As for any concerns about
possible loss of precision, I compared a large set of raw/adjusted values
generated by "mult_frac" to values returned by the Windows driver and I got
a 100% match.
Other Logitech wheels will probably need a similar fix, but I currently lack
the information needed to write one.

When the bindings for the TPS6586x regulator were being proposed, I
asserted that DT node naming rules for bus child nodes should also be
applied to nodes inside the TPS6586x regulator node itself. In other
words, that each node providing regulator init data should be named
after the type of object it represented ("regulator") and hence that
some other property was required to indicate which regulator the node
described ("regulator-compatible"). In turn this led to multiple nodes
having the same name, thus requiring node names to use a unit address
to make them unique, thus requiring reg properties within the nodes and
However, subsequent discussion indicates that the rules I was asserting
only applies to standardized bus nodes, and within a device's own node,
the binding can basically do anything sane that it wants.
Hence, this change deprecates the register-compatible property, and
instead uses node names to replace this functionality. This greatly
simplifies the device tree content, making them smaller and more legible.
The code is changed such that old device trees continue to work.

Sandy bridge EDAC is calculating the memory size with overflow.
Basically, the size field and the integer calculation is using 32 bits.
More bits are needed, when the DIMM memories have high density.
The net result is that memories are improperly reported there, when
high-density DIMMs are used:
EDAC DEBUG: in drivers/edac/sb_edac.c, line at 591: mc#0: channel 0, dimm 0, -16384 Mb (-4194304 pages) bank: 8, rank: 2, row: 0x10000, col: 0x800
EDAC DEBUG: in drivers/edac/sb_edac.c, line at 591: mc#0: channel 1, dimm 0, -16384 Mb (-4194304 pages) bank: 8, rank: 2, row: 0x10000, col: 0x800
As the number of pages value is handled at the EDAC core as unsigned
ints, the driver shows the 16 GB memories at sysfs interface as 16760832
MB! The fix is simple: calculate the number of pages as unsigned 64-bits
integer.
After the patch, the memory size (16 GB) is properly detected:
EDAC DEBUG: in drivers/edac/sb_edac.c, line at 592: mc#0: channel 0, dimm 0, 16384 Mb (4194304 pages) bank: 8, rank: 2, row: 0x10000, col: 0x800
